As ST. Louis contemporary observes, Wendell Phillips
Is purely theoretical conoclast. ossawattame Brow
is practical The former lays down the principle
the latter follows it out to its logical and legitimate
sequences The logical and legitimate consequences of
instruction which the breaches and the other prac
ces DEATH Had Brown succeeded the lives of 9th
would have been sacrificed; but he failed his
life will pay the penalty of his folly.
Phillips, being only n lectureroom insurgent has the
good fortune to avoid the peris which the brave
and honest Brown boldly faced and the practical diff
ference between them is that while the sentiment
prompts the deeds ofonc and the words the other the
of deeds is in Jail with the gallows before his eyes
aud the of words enjoys all the freedom and fran
ehises of the Government he Indignantly denounce
Phillips is perhaps the representative of that class in
this country, who follow the igris atns of pure idea
10 government without the safe lamp of experience
guide their steps and sense to restrain their
zeal Ideas pure, but the practice of them
er be perfect and any attempt to adapt the usages
to the Procrustean bed of pure principle
always end they have ended in the ercest
disorder and the cruelest excuses.
In France, during the great Revolution the theorists
erected government pure principle and Worship
ped it till they and their government were drowned in
blood. In England the government is founded on com
mon sense instead of abstract truths and the result is
large constltuuoha HOery, prOtecuon 10 private rights
peace and happiness.
Were Wendell Phillips idea of government to be car.
red out to-day it would collapse in raging anarchy to-
In his Brooklyn Lecture, he praised John
Brown for refusing regard any such thing Govern
ment any statute at law except those which conform
ed to his Of justice and right" If this idea
were followed out it would place every madmans dis
torted sense of right" above the Government and make
every unac reigning usurper, until he should be de-
throned by another unatc powerful than himself
If 'Old Brown is TO be praised for attempting excite
negro insurrecton, merely because lie acted accord
ing TO his Of justice" the villain who should put
stop to Wendell Phillips insurrectionary preaching by
sending Sharpe Ride ball through his head would be
praised also because he acted perhaps according to
his Of right And every murderer robber or thief
would be allowed to pursue his Internal calling by mere
BY declaring that he acting according to his sense
Of uzce and right" One may think a law Of his
country wrong bu; twenty million Of his countrymer
may think il right. Wendell Phillips would abroga,e the
Lac in Difference the conscientious scrupes OF the on.
man, and thereby outrage the conscientious cruple.
twenty million others Such i the sublime ai-uriiy "a
which the pursuit. Of single idea leads its insane wo
shippers.

We continue 10 repeat invocation to our Wing
and American friends in the various counties to act the
present month in the important matter of appointing
delegates to the State Opposition Convention, the l4h
Of December We thus frequently and urgently renew
call upon them because solcitous that every
single county In the Commonwealth should be fully and
ably represented the interesting occasion in question
The business to before the Convention will he OF
the gravest character demanding the elaboration and
counses Of the best and wscst in ranks There
reason why the best and wiscst of the party
should not he present nor why single county should
be unrepresented Our conservative Opposition friends
In all the other States, North and South anxously
awaiting the action Of the Convention In the hope and
expectation that something may be done whereby the
good and patriots Of the whole country may be
brought together in harmonious cooperation in the
Presidential election for the sake Of the rights of the
States and the Union Of the States. We believe that
the forthcoming Convention suggest line of policy
tonal of all parties and sections If the interests and
of their hopes and efforts.
We trust therefore, that single county within
broad limits of the Common wealth, will omit appoint
delegates the 18th Of December Convention and tina,
Of the delegates appointed will fail to aend-for
every member OF the party in view of the existing
dition Of public affairs should be prompt contribute

a significant Article,

The Richmond Enquirer, of yesterday, contains a
sgn6can. article, clearly foreshadowng the break
ing up of the Charleston Convention in row. and the
permanent dissolution of the Democratic party We
subjoin an extract as follows
What the nation this time is laws enforced

Territories. The moral of Harpers Ferry teaches that the
Intervention Of authority both State and Federal is de-
nanded as much in the States in Territories Inter

!can phrase for instruction, is but Pathological ex-
preston for the negaton of -noa-int,rrention-
Upon the Charleston Convention will devove the duty of
drawing the line of demarcation broad and distinct in
platform and candidate from Black Republicanism No
compromise triH BE- entertained
The South knows its rights and Harpers Ferry teach
she must maintain them. Should tie Union surrire
the approaching Congress, the Charleston Convention will
decide its fate. IL the South is permitted by existing
Union to meet the Northern Democracy in Charleston
the consultation will be calm and deliberate The first
of the South viii be there assembled No scheming
plotting politician, seeking opportunity barter rights
Tor public plumber, will be able crafty his treasonabe
propcnsiiies; but in rmness and with dignity the doc
tne of intervention for protection will be insisted upon
by the South and the of the Northern De
mocracy will decide the issue. II for intervention the
nomination will be proceeded with if against interven-
