The PHILADELPHIA Convention.

The executive committee Of The United
States in calling this Convention wisely
avoided giving to it any distinctive appel
lation which would in any resPectidenlify
its action with any political organization
which had a previous existence. The
call was Tor representation from the
people Of the United Safes who were Op'
posed 10 the present administration, tC
the extension of slavery, and in favor oI
freedom in the national domain, without
distinction Of party.
When the object was TO unite the vari'
Gus elements in opposition to the desPolic
measures Of the Slavery prop agandists,
it would have been impolitc 10 have call.
edit an American Convention, for there
are tens Of thousands Of Anti-Slavery
men, who are not in The American party,
1t W ould have been improper 10 have call
edit a Republican Convention, for there are
thousands of thousands of Antl.Slavery
Americans, who do not claim connection
with the Republicans as party organi'
zation, hence the propriety of a call Tor a
union of all the friends of freedom in the
nation.
What would have been the effect in
New York, anil throughout The Eastern
States, where the American party has
the strength to carry those States by large
maiorities, if !, had bcsn designated as
strictly Republican Convention The
object would have been defeated. In ac
cordance with this policy, we find all th'
respectable periodicals in the east, speak
ing of this Convention, as Convention
of the people opposed to The powers .ha

Ssy> The SleubenvilIe Herald is quite
iubiant over the accession of The Phila.
delphia Times-a Fillmore paper-to the
Republican cause. The circumstance
which has led to the conversion of the
Times is, the utter hnpelessness of The
success of the Fillmore and Doneldson
party. together with feeling Of revenge
towards the Anti Slavery Americans OF
the North, because they refused 10 sup
port the Pro-SIavery South Amer can
ticket. We are not aware that The Times
has renounced any Of the principles here
tofore advocated by the american party,
but merely turned in with such papers as
The Steubenville Herald 10 abuse and
slander the Anti-Slavery Americans o.
the Norh. Men Of reflection are a
some loss to explain how it is that sucl
sheets as the Times and Herald can have
any sincere sympathy for the Anti-Sla
very movement, when their principle OBJ
iect seems to be to disunie the elements
in the North, the union Of which is es
senlial to the success of freedom. W.
are glad, however, that such papers pos
sess but small share of political inau
ence.

The voice of Connecticut,

The committee on Federal Relations
in the Connecticut Legislature, recently
reported the following Resolutions for the
consideration of the two Houses Of the
General Assembly, viz:
Whereas, A Senator Of the United
States has been assailed by brutal and
cowardly violence on The floor Of the
Senate chamber, in the National capitol
and gross injuries inflicted upon his
person, avowedly as a punishment for
words spoken in the ordinary course of
debate thereiOre-
ResOIUed by this Assembly, That the
outrage thus committed is at once crime
against law, fragrant violation of the
Constitution, breach Of The privileges Of
Congress, and disgrace to the national
reputation.
ResolUpd, That 'he perPetrator there
of should Immediately be expelled from
his seat in 'he House Of Representatives
in the present Congress, and the member
thereof from This State are requested TO
use their earnest efforts to accomplish that
result.
Resolued, That on this occasion Con-
neclicut sends to Massachusetts, fraternal
greeting. As our fathers stood side by
side at Bunker's hill, when The great con-
flic, for civil and political liberty began,
so will their sons stand in The assertion
and defense of freedom for thought and
speech.
Resolved, That his excellency the Gov
be requested 10 transmit Immediately a
copy Gl the foregoing preamble AMI reso-
lulions to the Gov. Of Massachusetts, to
he laid before the Legislature Of that
State, now in session, and like copy to
each of our Senators and Representative.
The consideration of these resolutions
first came up in the Senate, aud were
adopted with only one dissenting voice
against them. In the mean time, before
being called up in The House, the slave
Democracy held caucus and determined
on opposition. After debate of great
spirit and power on the part Of The Ameri.
can Republicans, and Of trembling sub
serviency On the part Of the Doughfaces,
they were brought to vote and passed
lie to 9O-every supporter ofthe ADJ
ministra,ion voting inlhe negative!

Allison's Spe cial Pleading

In the Herald of yesterday, Mr.. Ali.
son assumes that we charged him, in our
paper of last week, with being an advo.
Gale of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.
and in order to refute the charge, quotes
from the Herald Of that year two extracts.
Now, it will be seen from the passage
which the excited Editor Of the Herald
quotes from our paper of last week, thai
we did not charge him with advocating
the law, but the act of Mr.. Fillmore
in giving to the law his official sanction.
This is the true issue. Will the Editor
of the Herald deny this charge? If he
does, we shall be put 10 the trouble of
looking up some old files Of the Herald.
Mr.. Allison, after creating false issue,
dilates upon il by the use of epiihets and
applies them to US, which we would feel
ourselves as reprehensible in applying TO
an opponent. as we would to resort 10 the
remedy applied 10 him, a few weeks since
by the Editor of the Union, when, with
slap of the hand, he dislodged him from
his upright position on terra 6rma, and
caused him 10 iurn half somerset and
measure al least feet 81 inches on Third
street.
We never allow ourself 10 use Ian.
guage in our paper which we would be
ashamed to use verbally in refnedsocie
ty. The HsralFs language is-we sup
pose-that of the filthy doggery, Ian
guage with which the Editor is no doub
quite familiar, being regular graduate
Of that school, having taken all the de
grees and cume out with honor, or dis
honor, as the case may be. We will onl,
add tina, our neighbor is mistaken in re
gard to our having supported The election
of Mr.. Cass in lS48. At that time W
were strongly suspected for sympathizin
) with The interest of Mr.. Van Buren aut
) The Free Democracy of the nation. B,
reason of absence from home however 0
u the time of the Presidential election W,
u did not vote. In conclusion we ar
strongly tempted to promise never
make another reference either to Allison
or his paper good or bad.

For the True American.
Who Loves the Temperance Cause

Who loves the temperance cause not he
Who dares not face its hydra foe,
Who sees the dark iniquity,
The desolation grief and woe
That follows in the monsters track,
Yet dares not push the demon back.
Who loves the temperance cause not he
vho in its favor lectures long,
And By himself all stealthily,
Drinks cider, beer, or porter strong;
Who makes the poison that he sips,
Who puts it to his neighbor's lips.
Who loves the temperance cause =! not he
Who prays to God to take away
4" The accursed thing" yet smilingly
Gives patronage to those who slay
The body and the deathless oul,
Who spurn at mans and Gods control.
Last'eve saw the drunkard fall,
And staggering rise and fall again;
listened to his maniac call,
Until my heart was rung with pain;
Who lufed him to course of sin!
Who famed the quenchless fires within!
Was it the drunkard ! No! too plain
Upon his pimpled, bloated face,
Carbuncled nose and vacant brain,
Are written ruin and disgrace;
The drunkard's visage warning gave,
1t told Of death-the drunkard's grave.
Who offers pleasure, but instead
Leads thousands to an early tomb!
Who steals the hungry orphans bread!
Who sllrouds the rsother'S hopes in gloom
Who fills the widows cup with gall!
Who is blighting curse to all /!
The poison maker sees, unmovcd,
The hideous working of his hand,
The poison vcnder, oft reproved,
Still spreads mildew Ger the land;
Both bear weight of guilt untold,
Both peril their own souls Tor gold.
Men smile upon them temperance men,
Who inwardly despise their ways,
And Christians look upon the scene
With apathy and listless gaze
Will they not tremble when they meet
The drunkurd at the Judgment seat?
