FOR some cause or other the Democratic and
conservative politicians are exceedingly busy

members OF Congress are passing through this
way, and invariably stop over for consultation.

1t now turns out that these consultations
are teing extended to all sections of the North.
with o view OF agreeing upon common stand
point IN refereuce to national questions, and
for the adoption Of some measures which the
conservative masses can unite upon and pre-
sent to the next Congress. From what has
trausplred here their policy is SO far from
what the radicals have charged upon them as
black is from white. They propose to take a
moderate course-one that shows that even VAL
landigham is not such rabid sympathizer
with the rebellion as be has been charged with
being, and that the Democratic party. as par.
ty, is not opposed the war. Their present prop
osition-chich no,c seems to be acceded to bv con-
seruatlUe leaders throughout the North-is to make
no opposition to rigorous prosecution ofthe var.
or to anything that wal prevent the national ad.
istration from acting vith success. They consider
that the policy pursued By the Administration, |
or fy the Cabinet at Washington. is doing one
times more for the triumph Of the |
conservative interests at the ballot box than
all the management and skill the most adroit |
throughout the North can accomplish |
and propose to let them run their length, In
addition to this they will apply to the next
Congress, and ask that national convention
be called by Congress, to be elected by the
people, for the purpose Of bringing about an
amicable settlement Of this difficulty, restoring
the Union IN all its parts; to make such COM
promise as the people may decree when they
elect delegates 10 the convention; but in no
instance to, directly or indirectly, recognize
the right of State to secede.
This mode is, in every particular, a consti-
futional one; but, as matter of course. a
can not be convened under the Con.
stitution before the Spring of 1864, and can
1ot in any way compromise the progress of the
var this year. unles the radicals are determin
I'd to bring about a separation, This is to be the
7reat measure of the Conservative and Democratic
and upon it they will take their
stand, believing that if the Cabinet at Wash.
ngton continue in their present policy, with
'ut any management or attempt to control pub
ie feeling, 1t will sweep over the North like
yild fire.
