Convention. because Of. their, being in. the
minority Of their respective delegations!
For it is striking fact not to be overlooked
In this connection, that whether the vote had
been taken entirely by States or by delegates,
ID either event there was a clear majority In
the Convention in favor Of recognition OF sound
constitutional principles, and it was only by
taking part of these votes by States as units,
and another part by divided States, that an APP
venting that recognition.
The answer to all the foregoing questions
seems to us to be clear and plain. The line Of
conduct we suggest leads in our Judgment, to
a reconciliation Of differences ,on a basis OF
principle. 1t leads to the united and barmO-
NOUS action Of our party. It does more, inf
niteIy more 1t secures vastly added strength
to that assertion Of principles which none Of us
would for an instant think of compromising it
compells their recognition and proudly vindi-
Gates. the action of the seeding delegates, who
gle, and have mcrited the applause and graft
tude of their Democratic brethren. 'r7
The contrary course would, we believe, be
productive OF miscbievous consequences. Time
does not permit the action OF the regular
organizations of our party In the respective
States, and who alone have the power to speak
their will, to meet in council and give instruc-
tlons to their delegations. How is the voice OF
California or Of Oregon to be heard in time
How are the constituencies Of Texas and Vir-
ginia to meet in State Conventions and give
authoritative expression to their will before The
middle Of June? How can the machinery be
put in motion by which the Democratic voters
will direct attendance at Baltimore or Rich
mond in accordance with their judgment
Evidently, this cannot be done. Evidently, the
delegations already elected are the only ones
that can act, and they must act on their owl
Judgment in a conjuncture which does not allow
opportunity for instructions by their constitu.
eneies. A refusal, then, by the delegates Of
the seeding States to return to Baltimore, q
refusal to defer the Richmond meeting until
there shall be an uncomfortable necessity fol-
holding it, would inevitably result in incurable
division Of the party, the sole conservative
organization! remaining in our country in Its
final disruption worse than all, in the endan-
gering Of the successful assertion Of its princi.

Governor Moore.

We take the following from that staunch.
heightened, unwavcrng Democratic paper, the
"Louisiana Democrat" published at Alcxan-
dria 1t is needless 10 say that we heartily ell
dorse every word of the article:
The action of the Governor, approved and
sustained by the Senate, in granting pardon to
number of conyicts during the last session Of
the Legislature, has brought upon his head
condemnation loud and deep" OF portion of
the Opposition press, ever ready to abuse and
Willy political opponent And the cry thus
raised has been taken up by a few Of the more
obscure and less important journals which are
scattered, here and there, over the State.
A reference to the Journal of the Executive
sessions of the Senate will show that, wherever
recommendations for pardon were made by the
Governor, accompanying documents showing
the reasons and inducements for such recon-
lnendations were transmitted, and a candid and
honest examination into the several cases will
satisfy every decent inquirer into the truth Of
the matter, that the Governor wisely and judi
ciously exercised the high prerogative vested
in him.
But even admitting, for arguments sake, that
the Governor had been imposed upon and had
recommended improper persons for pardon, is
there any accusation ofvcnalty against him to
justify the coarse and vulgar abuse in which a
portion of the press have INDUCED? The acts
of the Governor, as well as those of every other
official, are fair and legitimate subjects for COM
ment and full discussion. But the dignity Of
the press the courtesies of society, the decen-
cies of life, the rules of proprety recognized by
gentlemen, should cause such comment and
discussion to be characterized by decent lam
gnage and decorous expressions. Upon the
friends Of Gov. Moore the scurrilous attacks
which have been made, by few sheets, excite
no other sensation than regret that members Of
the editorial fraternity could forget the dignity
of their profession, and descend to the use of
scurrilous and ribald language better suited for
the neighborhood of Billingsgatc than the ears
of polite patrons.
