the Governors and ex-Governors in the League
House to-day was private. The reporters we're
excluded. Enough OF the proceedings, how
ever, TRANSFERRED to warrant the following &C.
count being published. The questions discus
sed were: First, whether it was desirable that
the Northern convention should meet again ::
and second, whether, if the Southern conven-
ton adopted the principle of negro suffrage in
its platform, it would be wise aud polite to en-
dorse it The general expression of sentiment
was in the negative of both these propositions,
the Governors generally taking the ground that.
while Individually they were 10 favor of negro
suffrage, the people of their States we're not vet
educated up to that point, and that, therefore,
to avoid this difficult question, it was desirable
that there should be no regular oonvocatioo of
the convention. 1t is understood that such is
the course resolved upon.

BACK I'm THE UNION"

At the close of the war, when the relations
between owner and slave were so suddenly
changed, a farmer in Chatham county, Mr. c.,
called up his slaves and gave them a truthful
and candid statement of affairs. He told them
to visit some of the neighboring plantations, en-
quire what Others were giving for hands, return,
and all who wished to remain with him at the
ruling prices could do so telling them at the
same time that all who left then, in the future,
after engaging to remain need not expect any
more employment from him.
| A large majority, if not all of them, concluded
to remain, and commenced work as if no inter-
rupton had taken place After awhile one of
them, Jerry, thought that working with his
former master and at his cold home" even for
wages, was not his idea of freedom. So he de-
terInined to start out son his own hook"
Nothing was heard of him for long time,
but as the winter set in, Jerry was frequently
seen in the neighborhood and sometimes near his
old home. Cob! darkies how my heart grows

to kill his hogs and put up his bacon for the

When he stopped where the hands were, Jerry
stepped up and offered his services. AS he had
formerly been Mr. C's butcher, he consented to
his assisting in the "killing."
The hogs were killed and packed. When
night came Mr. G gave him bag OF pork sutti-
cent in quantity for the payment of a weeks
labor. Still he did not leave for his bome-if he

RADIcAI1sM IN THE NORTHWEST.
Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-

Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-
Radical hostility in the Northwest appears to
be irrerressible, but not so 10 the Middle States,
where the interests of commerce and finance be-
gin to exercise an influence.
In Virginia and the Carolinas, according to
the statements of intelligent and disintcrested
persons who have just arrived from those States,
little hopeful feeling for the political or indus
trial future is cherished. Deferred hope has
given place to dependency.
The recuperative process Ia industrial pur-
suits is retarded by vague apprehension of
evils which are expected from continued Radical
ascendency and tyranny.
Notwithstanding all this, the North 2rospers.
The opening of the fall trade iI the Northern
cities is marked by large demand from the
South in anticipation of the cotton crop. New
England receives large portion of the avails of
this trade. All her manufactures flourish and
are in demand at enhanced prices Should the
cotton crop fall short of two millions and half
of bales, the apparent and promised prosperity
will disappear,
1t appears that General Beauregard has been
more proftably employed in Europe than in
military pursuits. 1t is understood that his
mission in relation to the affairs of the great
New Orleans and Northwestern Railroad Com
pany has been successful.
l learn that the Conservatives in the West
are putting 10 nomination for State and other
Offices highly respected and popular officers of
the United States volunteers whose services
during the war are universally acknowledged.
This will serve to counteract the secret military
association got up by Governors Oglesby and
Morton, the object of which is to overawe the
people at the polls.
Governor Oglesby excites the people to re-
newed hostilities, and pledges himself for an
army of two hundred thousand men to sustain
the Radical party in Missouri against the Con-
servatives, in case of expected trouble at the
November elections, and in the canvass now
commenced.

MEXICO AND FRANCE-There is a posi-
bility of trouble between France and the United
States, with regard to Mexico Late cable ad-
vices inform as that the Empress Corlotta has
succeeded to some extent in her mission to Ma
poleon in behalf Of Macmillan, who has agreed
to furnish equipments for the latter's troops,
and has also extended the time for the depart
ure of the French troops from Mexico until
January next. And rumor has it that a suf6-
cient number of French vessels are to be sent
to Matamoras to enforce Maximlians blockade,
which late proclamation of President johnson
declared null and void.
We pity this unfortunate country. But for
the moral intervention of the United States,
MACMILLAN and his French allies would have
had no difficulty in maintaining stable govern
ment, and opened chance for the improvement
and progress of that magnificent country; it
would have developed industry in all its forms,
and have contributed by the interchange of
commodities to the wealth and prosperity of our
own country. The "dog in the manger" policy
pursued by the United States towards Mexico
has been hurttul alike to both, and We shall be
glad to see this matter brought to direct issue,
and Mexico either "absorbed" by the United
States or the government of Macmillan recog-
nized
A first rate joke took place quite lately in a
courtroom A woman was testifying in behalf
of her son, and swore that he had worked on
farm ever since be was born. The lawyer, who
cross-examned her, said:
"You assert that your son has worked on
farm ever since he was born"
Says she, 81 do"
"Then," said the lawyer, "what did he do the
first year?"
"He MIXED" said she, and the lawyer evap-
grated.

PARSON BROWNLOW STRIKES TIE KEY
NoTE.-The Rev. Governor Brownlow, who
was delegate to the o-caed s.Southern loyal
convention which met 10 Philadelphia last week,
was serenaded in that city, and, 10 response, he
made speech, in which he revealed the secret
purposes of bis coadjutors. We quote from the
Press (Forney's) report:
"But [ say to you in all caDdor, and with the
knowledge of what [ am saying, and the use
that may be made of it, that if the wicked spirit
of the South, the rebellious spirit, combined
with the treachery and copperheadism of the
North, shall bring upon this country another
war, and force you, gentlemen. to leave YOUR
homes aud families to invade the South, and put
down second rebellion, want to have some
thing to say about the division of your forces
the next time. | would divide your great army
into three grand divisions Let the first 60
armed and equipped as the laws of the army re-
quire, with small arms and artillery. Let that
be the largest division aud let them do the kill
ing. Let the second division be armed with
pine torches and spirits of turpeDtine, and let
them do the burning. Let the third and last
division be supplied With surveyors compasses
and chains, and We will survey out the land and
settle it. We will first sell it out, paw the ex-
penses of the war with the proceeds. and then
settle it with men who will honor this glorious
banner. Those are my sentiments"
Whatever this Convention NAV do or saw
this brutal harangue furnishes a commentary
that will reveal its secret purpose. The leaders
OF this movement want another war to afford
chance for more plunder-N Y Horl5
