Power unchecked never fails TO strengthen It's hold

Whatever tb'. South may be justified in doing at the
present. time, we look upon the destruction Of the Con-
ederacy az q contamination most sincerely TO be
ireaded nd fraugh with uncertainty that 1t should
lny be yentured upon when every effort for reconcl-
laiioD shall have been made and all hope shall nave
passs d. Are we today in that condition We hope,
and would fam believe, not We may be mistaken,
b. Il still to our own mind we have not reached the
stage of despair. At least IL is the part of prudence
10 make one effort before we proceed 10 eXtremi-
ties and il is certain that shall lose nothing by
lrief DELAY We take il for granted that all will agree
that the Union should be sustained, provided u can DC
done with honor and safety TO ourselves. Inc man
who would not is either poor patriot or q worse
statesman. As matters stand, we do not zee now inc

orlec1;on NJ the noble efforts and sacrifices OF orr
fathers 10 form this oonfederated Government, Ine
countless blessings il has conferred upon tner suIe,
and its glorious influence upon the cause o. mu'a ro
GIe,tv and civilization throughout the world, we are
mwiilinq 10 give il up without one more earnest ana
nariotc effort to decide whether or not 1t can Dc mani
famed consistently with justice and honor
To fills end we would suggest that National Con-
vention 10 be composed of three delegates from each
and every State in the Union, and appointed according
TO the pleasure Of each shall be constituted to meet at
the earliest day practicable, and 10 whom shall be re-
ferred all the questions Of controversy and division De-
tween the North and the South. Such body, COM
posed of the wise and prudent men OF the country we
feel sure could agree upon plan that would protect
all interests quiet all heartburnngs give peace 10 tne
nation, and place us more on the highway OF a
olorions career We would have it assemble on the
23d of February-the birthday of Waslington-and at
Independence Hail. in Philadelphia with the hope mat
the men selected the sviors Of our country IN looo
NAV catch some Of the patriotic fire that animated the
brea, f. of the noble founders Of tie Republic.
We submit the suggestion, with the painful con-
sciousnes that the temper OF our eounlrymen ~ the
present moment Is not favorable TO lts cam ana
sopate confederation but with the hope that more
quiet period is approaching when some true-hearted
trumpet-ongued patriot Of the South shall sound II
abroad and speak peace 10 distracted people,: may
we not cherish the additional hope that IT VIII touch
the heart Of the Empire State Of the South and that
she will take the lead and bid all her Southern sisters
follow in her trainl What grand corsulnlIiion II
would bel -
tried II, on the other hand il should fail, there will
be 10 divisions them as now; but one mind and one
heart will animate us all. We shall stand discharged
of every responsibility, and free to resume the nights
we have surrendered for the public good and able, az
an independent nation to maintain them against all
