FuE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The proposition TO postpone the holding OF
tho National Convention from June to septem-
Der, and to hold 1t in Western city Instead of
Baltimore, as advocated by some OF the disaf-
feeted, Observation-Disclosures Journals, Ia hand
pOmely met and disposed OF in the following
brief extract of I'M editorial In the Columbus
(Ohio) State JoTTdl'
1--WE read with some attention an editorial In
the New York Post Of March 81. arguiug for a
postpOnemCnt OF the nion National Convention
I'LL the first Of aer! September. We considered
well aud carefully the arguments put forward
by the Pest In favor Of this strange PROPOSE
lion, and we confess 10 an utter dlsAppoirt-
mept In our effort 10 find anything forcible IN
the reasons there adduced.
The TOSi objects, in the Grst place, 70 the
place (Bnltimore) where the Convention is
called TO meet, and suggest that Columbus,
Cincinnati, or Louisville would be botter POSI-
tions for the assembling Of the Convention.
With all due thankfulness to the Post for thus
honorably mentioning our own city and State,
We do not concur with our cotemporsry In his
conclusion.
Baltimore witnessed the hrst baptism of
blood with which unholy hands sprinkled the
soil that slavery called It's own when this war
OF rebellion began. That E0lf Same soil has
since been virtually reclaimed for freedom. II
Is, therefore, a city historic in both the present
Inott ally ordered that the great National Con.
VGntlon OF 1864, with FREEDOM inscribed on
its every hammer, should there assemble as upon
tho spot cOnsecrnted by the first shedding of
blood In this war for the defence OF freedom.
TThe Chicago Tribune OF the 9Th Inst. answers
the advocacy, by the New York Evening PoH,
n holding tho Convention In a western city,
Instead Of Baltimore, by saying that $40 Object
's'l BE- gGiH,l Jy change" The Tribune adds
that the reasons given by the Post, and other
papers, for pos.ponIng the Convention TO Sep
tembcr "welgh very lightly indeed" and con.
rludcs as follows
Our voice is therefore for tho cyLyvnl.On, at
The place appointed, a. the time designated,
with the delegates now chosen and to be
chosen. We are for the nomination OF Abrs.
