ruE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

A Republican Of Philadelphia writes US in regard
b the Convention as follows:
al caN confidently assert that the majority of the
Republicans with me, at least as far Phiadel-
pha is concerned in the opinion that the time fixed for
the holding of our Convention should be changed; the
18th of June is too late. Let the other Republican
journals follow the example'o of THE TRIBUNE, and
speak out boldly upon this subject. Let them demand
that the Committee reassemble and appoint earlier
day for the holding of the Convention"
The 81. Louis Democrat warmly seconds the pro-
posal that the time should be changed. We quote
from that journal:
"The selection of Chicago the place in which to
hold the Republican Convention has been acquiesced
In but the time pronounced too late by the Repubi-
cans and Free Democrats of st. Louis, as well as by
those for whom The NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE and The
Chicago Press and Tribune speak. We are author
lied to make this declaration by the Executive Com
nittee of the Opposition in st. Louis.
UTlere are other reasons in behalf of an earlier
day. The State election takes place in Missouri the
first Monday in August and between that date and the
18th of June the interval is altogether too short for
efecting thorough Organization of the Opposition In
this State We are also convinced that the Opposition
at large being constituted of three or four diverse
though not disslmiar parnes, VIII require eVou uoa
of drilling to secure united action and bring out Its full
strength.
"We suggest that Monday, the 9TH Of May, be sub
pttuted for Wednesday the 18th Of June, as the day
for the meeting of the Convention. Let US have six
onths canvass this time. We persuaded that the
longer the controversy lasts the greater the benefits
that will accrue to the Opposition. Neither is it entire
Nv beneath consideration that the early days of May
viii be pcssanter for travelling and sitting In
a crowded hall than the middle of june"
The date proposed by The Democrat is not day
too soon. Indeed, we are convinced that April
would be better for the meeting than May. But at
any rate, do not let it be put off till June.

While The Journal Of Commerce, AtaS Gnd
Argus, Express and other organs OF dough-
fscedness in this region receive Mr.. Charles
OConor's recent arguments for Slavery with In
consistent and illogical GOODNESS, they find diff
ferent appreciation in the States where Slavery is
known and loved for itself, and not as mere
means of getting into Office. Thus at a recent
public banquet in Richmond, Va, the Hon. John
Randolph Tucker, Attorney General of the State,
in the course of an animated speech in favor of
preserving the Union on the basis of the divinity
and benefbence of the peculiar institution, paid to
our distinguished fellow citizen the following eo-

ing qualities quite eat the good out of him. He
ives member of the House of Representatives
for many years, and when he first entered as a
young man, gave promise which time has not full
filed. He drew largely on the future, but it has
been struggle to keep well on his legs, aud things
look as though bic reputation was doomed at last
TO go to protest, and leaving him politically bank
rupt Oflate years he has aimed at cutting figure
as an active member of the House Committee on
Foreign Relations, but whlehe has often expOunded
and expanded what be has persuaded himself, aud
tried to persuade others, we're statesmanike views
on the general questions he has brought forward,
he has only met the fate that genius often meets
with; he has been unobserved and neglected We
presume it is bis misfOrtunes in this line that have
prompted him to strike out on new path. He has
left the ocean of national affairs, to try the dirty
track and muddy courses of disuniOn.. He has
mounted the 6ercest charger of the Southern stud,
in this race, and seems bouLd to win or break his
neck. We can hardly doubt which it will be. Be-
fece the slow and stately commonwealth from
which Mr.. Clingman halls, goes over and joins the
noisy crowd of dsuniOnists, it must forget the calm
ceunsels of Macon, and the generous sentiments
and lofty craftsmanship of a Mangum.
If we had the ear of Mr.. Cingman, we should
counsel him to have decent regard to his position.
We should tell him that it is unbecOming and dis
graceful in United States Senator to use the Ian
guage which the telegraph reports him to have used
in the debate on Monday, 1t indicates neither
statesmanshipnOr courage, to threaten bloody
fct in the Capitol, because of peaceful and con-
stitutiOnal election of President of the United
States. Brave men, considerable men, wise men,
do not talk in that way 1t disgusts the common
sense and general intelligence of the entire Repub-
lie. 1t is the bravadO of pOthOuse politicians and
pOltrOOns, and not the discourse of men really in
