A NATIONAL CONVENTION.

A memorial is in circulation calling on Presi-
dent Lincoln to 4" adopt the policy OF an imme-
" date General Convention of all the States, as
suggested in your Inaugural" And the most
daring organ Of the traitors in our city says:
1--WE have information, in which We believe we
can place entire reliance that the plan Of National
Convention for amendments to the Constitution, or for
q peaceable separation, has been favored by MIR. lin-
coin from the beginning, tut he has been overHee ty
kss party
This is deliberate, notorious, atrociOus
falsehood Mr.. Lncons desire that q National
Convention should be called was indicated as
early as January last. It concurred In by
nearly all Republicans that expressed al opinion
upon il, and empbatically by this Journal.
Republican introduced resolve commencing il in
the Assembly of our State, and the idea had
Gov Morgan's hearty support. The whole Re-
publican party would easily have been united in
lts support had there been any manifestation OF
u kindred feeling from the other side. Virginia
alone might have carried the project, had her
Governor and Legislature heartily sustained it.
But not single State rhich had then or has sinee
secedsd care the plan any continuance rkatecer.
We cannot remember that one single Democratic
Journal, 10 commenting on tho Presidents Inau-
gural, said Amen TO the suggestion Of a National
Convention. OF course, it was idle for those 10
power to urge concessions and adjustments which
their antagonists spurned, and 80 the matter
dropped inevitably.
TIE simple truth is, that tue SecessiOnsts be-
eved the North would not fight, and might be
buIlied, insuted, outraged, and spit upon, with
impunity. They were misled into this fatal error
by prominent anti Republican journals at tie
North. When they shall have been thoroughly
cured of it, we shall have peace again but the
expense of dspelling that fatal delusion will be
fearful

REPUTATION I'm GEORGIA.

We print this morning recent proclamation
OF Gov. Brown of Georgia, in which that poten-
tate formally and officially advises, or rather
commands his faithful subjects to abstain fiom
paying their debts. The reason given for this
reputation is that "by the oppressive and
wicked conduct Of the Government and people OF
" that part of the late United States of America,
known asthe Auti-Slayery States, war actaallyex-
lists between them and the people of the Southern
States" and, therefore-such is the Governors
logical deductiOn-nO inhabitant of Georgia Is IN
honor bound, or can be in law permitted, under
any pretext whatever, to remit, transfer, or pay
to the Government of the United States, or any
one of the States composing such Government,
(which is known as q Free-Soil State, lnclud-
ing, among others, the States OF Massachusetts
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New-Iork, New
" Jersey Pennsylvania, and Ohio; or 10 any
citizen or nhabtant of any such State, any money,
" bills, drafts or other things of value, either 10
payment of any debt due, or hereafter TO
(" become due, or for or on account .of any other
q" cause whatever, until the termination OF hos
tilities." And, furthermore, the Governor IN
yites all debtors who owe anything to Northern
creditors, to pay over the same to the State,
and take ia receipt a certificate, which VIII DC
redeemed at the end Of the war.
This official command to the people Of Georgia
TO rob their Northern creditors very properly
bears date in the +" first year of the independence
" of the Confederate States of America" That
Confederacy began its career by fraud and rob-
berry on a gigantic scale, and selected for It's
frat President TIE most notorious OF Mississippi
repudiators, ard it is therefore but fitting that
the Chief Magistrate Of its leading State should
carry out to their full extent the principles on
which the concern was founded. We cannot say
that We feel any great surprise at this proclama-
ton, nor ct the general appreciation with which
il has been received at the South. We see no
reason why those who habitually rob blacks
should abstain from stealing from whites when
they can do 80 with IMMUNITY. Chigalrous gen.
tlemen who get their living by taking the earn
ings of Others aud justify that robbery by quoting
Scripture cannot surely have any moral scruples
about robbiDg the NOrtherners. There is plenty
of patrarcbal warrant for the act. Did not

seems to US one of the readiest and mort obvious
exhibitions of ingram rascality.

We are really obliged to some one ia Charlestes
for sending us a copy of The Mercury, containing
an interesting account of the action Of the sew
eral forts and batteries opposed to Sumter.
True, the paper was sent for very different
purpose, as will be seen by the following note,
written upon it's margin:
"Mr. GREELEY: you really an honest man. you win

OF course, the "gentleman" who wrote this
did not know that we published Daviss Message
DAYS ago. We have printed and circulated moro
copies of that document than any dozen OIL the
Secession journals. No. 639" evidently sup
poses that the Northern press is under the
same rule of terror that chOkes all free opinion
among Southern papers-a rule manifested, IN
spite of all precaution, in studied nisrepreseot-
alton or suppression Of the plainest facts--a
rule that feeds the people upon the widest exag-
eerations, and studiously fasifes the acts inteu-
tons, aud position Of the North. Let our IN
known friend be assured that neither Jefferson
Davis, nor any Of his supporters. can issue aus
document of the slightest possible Importance
that we shall not publish in full at the earliest
moment, and comment upon with perfect free
dom. Can any Southern newspaper say as much
of Northern documents and Ser own opinion
We will cheerfuly circulate as many copies Of
The Mercury as they will send to US for that
purpose. DaIes The Mercury, or our daring"
correspondent, do as much with THE TRIBUNE,
or even The Herald?

TEE Army AND NAVY.

The Numerous defeCtiOns in these branches Of
the public service, at this critical juncture, warn
US that We cannot be too careful how we trust
doubtful men with the discharge of important
duties. We are credibly informed that there are
now over 200 officers in the army and navy who
are Secessionists at heart, and only await the
time when they can inhict the most deadly injury
upon the Government which has fostered them,
TO 60 over TO the enemy. For this purpose they
will remain in the service, masking their true
sentiments, and drawing their pay up TO the last
moment. But, wlen ordered into active service,
and when their ships or regiments are ready TO
start, and they have got oil the money and all
the information they can get out Of the Govern
ment. they will throw up their commissions and
rush right over to the camp of the enemy. Such
being the state of things il lis due to the country
that immediate steps BIO taken to rid the
service Of these traitors. Let every officer be
required forthwith to take the oath of featy
anew and the oath should be so framed
az TO require them TO pledge their
first duty to the Union, a. superior
to all claims Of individual States. Gen. Scott,
whose patriotism no one doubted, has for the
third time renewed his vows to his country;
Gen. Harvey has declared, in vigorous language,
his love for the Stars and Stripes under which
he has served for forty years; Commodore Stew
art says 3" for more than GO years Of national
service under the Union Of these States have
" held it as maxim, that the honor of an officer
=" in his countrys service pledged his fidelity to
" his constitutional oath, together with his entire
4" obedience to all laws passed by Congress, or
" orders issued by proper authority in conform
{" ity with the Constitution under which he
serves" With these illustrious examples be.

are true to their country and their flag will not

lists, even they have some faint glimmerings Of
honor" Left, and will not deliberately periuro

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

In no single Free State has it been found
necessary 10 resort to drafting to ill up TIE
quota of Militia required Of that State 10 enforce
the laws and maintain the integrity Of the Union.
On the contrary, the number Of volunteers has
in every State far outrun The Executive require
Inent, and in most States brigades have volun-
teered where regiments were called for. For
the last fortnight, the War Department has been
fairly beseged with messages and entreaties from
every quarter that more regiments may be nc
cepted, and the telegrapbic wires leading from
the East and the West 10 Washington have been
kept hot with dispatches begging for permission
to march 10 the Capital. We thought Office
begging was Oyerdone month ago; but that
was nothing TO the general importantly now
prevalent TO be allowed TO fight for the Union.
Had the President called-as We feryently wish
he had--for Five Hundred Thousand Men TO up
hold the Union Flag, they would all have been
promptly furnished by the Free States alone,
and every man glad volunteer. And they
would have been armed aud equipped, too, not
without mourning heavy debt but certainly
without an ostentatiOus and wholesale swiadling
OF our present creditors.
Now, the Southern People are notOriOusly brave,
martial, and accustomed to the use Of arms, and
they have been for months preparing for this
feud, while tie North only began generally to
realize that there was TO be fight less than q
month ago. Yet the Confederate ranks are
VIGOROUSLY filed by drait-tbat is by conscrip-
tiOn-and have been from the beginning. Union
men by hundreds we're called out as Militia in
South Carolina, and compelled TO serve, sorey
against their WILL in the siege of Fort Sumter;
the Union men Of Virginia are called out en-
mGSse to Sight for the yet unlegalized Secession
of that State; and they-in all the Eastern and
in the South Western Counties--baye no other
choice than to fight to run, or 10 hang. Aud
we see that the Z" Home Guard" Of New-Or-
leans, which had been raised for the defense of
that city and that only, has been compelled TO
join the regular army and move Northward to
Join in the grand raid on Washington. And so
in every seeded State the process of recruiting
is forced one, the Secession ranks being filed,
not by men who want to fight for Disunion but
by those who needs must OF. fare worse.
OF course, this does not imply cowardice nor
lack Of warlike aptitude and energy on the part
of tho South. Far from it, 1t is the result
simply of n worry general dislike to fight the bat
ties of Treason-to fire at the flag aud the de-
tenders Of tho Union. Were this war for the
Union rather than against it, JET. Davis & Co.
would not have to impress Southern men into
their service They are driven to it now, simply
because, while they have an active and desperate
party in every Slave State, the heart of the
People is not with them, aud their sway is based
on conspiracy violence and terrorism.

A man of business in Nashville, Tenn, ap-
piled to the State Bank week before last, having
a considerable balance to his credit, for draft
on New-York, or for gold wherewith to pay
deb. maturing in Ohio. The teller declined to
furnish either and on being pressed, referred
him to the President of the Bauk. That oficia
frankly informed the applicant that the Bank
could not furnish the means of paying debts due
in the Northern States, aud added that the plain
duty of patriotic citizens was to pay none.
Patriotism, according to this Tennessee bank
maguate, consists in defraudiDg out of their
honest due all persons who will not embark Ia
