In Pennsylvania we have Thaddeus
Stevens and his own dog Forney throwing
q wet blanket over him. Forney, who Is
shrewd enough to observe the rising ana
sinking fortunes Of men, and to trim his
sails accordingly, in a recent article, has
condemned the administration. Thaddeus
Stephens, that bold and bad man, whom
the people of Pennsylvania should know
well, says, ''that he regards Abe as the
worst kind Of q failure, and if the he-
publican party wish to succeed, they must
oct him off the track Thaddeus Is
sharp and unscrupulous. He had no
scruples to make the State Of Pennsylva-
ria build him a tape worm railroad to ms
furnace in Adams county. lie did not
scruple to endeavor to treat the election OF
David r.. Porter as if it had not happen
ed, but he had scruples to sign the Con-
stitution OF Pennsylvania, because the
word 1rilte was in it, To carry out ms
doctrine he got negro wench und lived
with her as his wife. He never was mar
ricd-has no onsprines but mulattoaF, and
cares nothing for the country, except SC
far as it would be beneficial to the co!orec
race. lie declared, last winter, that he
would not stulHfy himself by pretending
to lc-islate In Congress according to th'

Another National Convention

Below we publish a call for another
National Convention to be held at Chica-
60, just two days before our convention.
Verify, these are the days of Conventions.
Ben. Wade, II. Winter Davis and Lew.
d. Campbell have issued a call for a con-
vention to assemble at Buffalo. These
two conventions, together with the two
nominations they have already made,
ought to give the Republican and Aboli-
ton wings Of the party fine chance for
choice. Although old Abe thought Kit
was no time to swap horses in crossing
stream," these men are determined to
swap, if they should have nothing but the
halter left. They are aware that the
creature has been a miserable failure, and
if he or they should come to the halter, II
would be what they richly deserved. We
always had an idea if these cormorants
would get rope enough they would hang
each other, and so it turns out
= Conservative Convention.
The Union Conservative National Con
vention will be held in the city Of Chicago,
Ill, on Saturday, the 27th day Of August
next, at , o'clock, noon, under the aus
pices of the ''Union Conservative National
Committee" Of which the Hon. Amos
Kendall, Of Washington, d. c., is chair
man.
AL citizens Of the United States who
believe in the paramount necessity Of IL
bandoning conflicting issues, to secure the
election of new administration, that viii
re-unite the government, save the country
from financial ruin, and perpctuate ouI
constitutional liberties, are invited to at

Heretofore. when the country was pur
suing its peaceful and prosperous career.
the assembling of a national Demo
cratic Convention, never failed 10 excite
a deep interest among the people. The
deliberations and final result Of the
Convention, which, in a few days viii
convene at Chicago, at n time when the
ship Of the Republic is tempest tossed on
the angry pillows of an unnatural civil
war, will as a matter Of course, create a
feeling of the most intense solicitude.
From the time of the organization Of the
Democratic party under the auspices Of
Thomas J.Bersoa, no political convention
has been held in this country, upon which
dcyolved such weighty responsibility, as
will rest upon the body which is about TO
meet at Chicago The ordeal through
which it will have 10 pass, will test the
wisdom and purity Of the Democratic par
~ by a more severe standard of political
morality, than it has ever been subjected to
before. y generous spirit of conciliation
should characterize all its deliberations
and if any delegate to that Convention
rnanitcsts any symptoms Of the ,ale or ruj,
policy, he should be Indignantly fowned
down 10y his fellow members, as unwor-
thy of a seat in Democratic council
where reoso,s and not passion should
hold the sway. The people expect tn,
Convention TO . Ea-tss slony," to ac
calmly, cautiously and with morl C.al
ordinary detiberation. The issues to b,
decided in the person Of its uomince be
ing of vast and transcendant magnitude

Wherever we turn our eyes to view the
Horizon of Politics, we behold the star Of
the Illinois raiI-spIitter, and the Tennessee
tailor tending downward. The one half
Of their campaign is nearly over, and
there has not been a respectable assembly
of the people, or Of their own party, 10
ratify their nomination. The Office hold
ers and shoddy contractors tcnaciously
cling to them yet, but with that exception
the names Of Lincoln and johnson are
only mentioned to be execrated by the
masses. One after another Of the leading
Republicans is deserting the standard of
this functionary, and denouncing him in
terms more violent than ever was used by
the copperheads who suffered incarcera-
ton for the use Of such language. In
the West, we sec them engineering to get
up new convention, to be held at Buff
alo, to make a new nomination, and get
the rail-spitter off the tract. We find
Senator Wade and Chase and a host of
other lesser spirits, not only giving the
rail-spitter the cold shoulder, but openly
denouncing him as a usurper and a ty-
rant

Tha Indian war.

We have news from reliable sources
from the great west regarding the Indian
outrages inauguIated there, They seem
to annoy the whole country from a point
about seventy-ive miles east of Fort
Kearney, to a fork on the Platte river,
and from thence south to the Arkansas
river. They have captured a number of
trains, killed the conductors, and destroyed
large amount Of property. General
Curtis is at Omaha city, organizing an
expedition against them, and the militia
of Kansas and Nebraska are pursuing
them along the overland stage route. 1t
is unfortunate that these dusky sons OF
the forrest would take this particular time
TO wage war on the whites, whilst we
have SO much fighting to do at home.
