TUE n1rFERFuCE FOR sAMBo.

Mr. OLIpHASr, an Englishnan, who has
written some true and many amusing
things about the events of our war, shows
the nature Of the change wrought in the
condition of the negro, by the following
auecdote: fo..gy .aas .its.ls a.,
Invariably asked every negro con
versed with whether he thought himself
better or worse off than formerly, and as
invariably received for an answer that
he was in some respects better, and IN
some worse One fellow on board a
steamer illustrated the difference thus I:
If, when | was slave, ! had tumbled
overheard, the boat, would have been
stopped, I'should have been picked up
and put by the fire to dry, because | was
property, and then given hundred
iashes for falling overheard. But now, II
| fall overheard, 70, ats only a. cussed
negro, 90 ahead, and | should never be
picked up at all. In word the negro
used to be dog with master, now he
is dog without one.
There is oply one thing in this extract
that it is necessary to note. 1t is not
true. Sambo, however, has discovered
that the care he received before the war
is now lost to him. He must struggle
along the path to comfort like the white,
so-caled, freedmen. The old ties are
sundered and he now has the right to
work or starye. This is what is also true
of the whites.

DELEGATES TO PHILADELPHIA.

The Southern States will send up del
egates to the johnson Convention, soon
to meet in Philadelphia. 1t will be the
most important political assemblage
known in this country since the celebra-
ted Charleston Convention of 1860.
For the first time since then, the peo-
pie of the North and South will consult
together Inls60, the North and South
severed at Charleston. In 1866 they
propose to renew their relations at Phil
adelphia. The first was a convention of
politicians; the other, it is hoped, will
be Invested OF party The first was the
beginning of the revolution; it is hoped
that the last will close it and re-
store the old feeling of fraternity.
We should go into the Convention as
the South-as the once rebellious South,
because apart from that, there is no
South The element that low processes
to have been loyal to the United States
Government during the war, is not the
South, or numerically strong enough to
form a solitary State Besides, these
loyalists have no quarrel to adjust, no
peace TO make They are all right be-
fore the North-but they are not the
South If the rebel element is not to go
into the Convention, it will be failure,
and if the Conservatives Of the North ex-
pect to gain its support by iinkering with
Southern loyalists, they will encounter a
disappointment
The first thing for the Couserva-
tiyes to do, if they desire to restore
fraternity, is to drop the cant
ing phrase loyalty, and accept the
fact that the people of the South, to
a man, TO a woman, to a child, are done
with the rebellion, desire to live inpeaes
in the Government, and are true in their
allegiance. The rebel element possess
all the voting strength, all the influence,
all the talent, al the property, and it is
not going too far to say, the greater part
of the virtue. Encompasses eleven States
and if ignored by the Conservatives,
viii be placed in she position prescribed
by the Radicals To exclude a man
from that convention because he has
been in the Confederate army, or in the
Confederate Cabinet, would be to exclude
the Southern people. If this is done, we
have no occasion for the Convention

II is refreshing to read the correspon-
dence between Gen THOMAS and Mr.
Secretary STANTON. 1t consoEdates the
Presidents policy, evinces his flrmness
of character, and best Of all, tells the
Radicals that the military will not be
permitted to interfere. in matters purely
civil Poor BRowXLow is reduced to de-
pendence on that civil authority which
he discarded, and which now when ap,
pealed to- will be found wanting he
implored the military to interfere in the
quarrel between the Radical and Con-
seryative members Of the House. In
short. asked the military to enforce the
ratification of the Constitutional Amend
ment by capturing and dragging be-
fore the House those members who
represent nine-tenths of the people
of the State by absenting themselves Tor
the purpose Of protecting the honor OF
the State. All praise to the firmness OF
these members They will be held in
grateful remembrance by the people, and
if they shall hold out to the end and de-
feat at last the great iniquity, they will
be honored while living, mourned when
dead, and have monuments erected over
their graves.
Ratification of the Amendment by
force if necessary, is the policy Of the
Radicals. So the deed is done, tits of
no consequence to them how it is effect
ed. Men who set themselves up TO the
world as the legislature of a State, and,
while they possess the numbers, tear TO
shreds the old.time liberties of the peo-
pie, are nothing better than revolution
lists, and have no claim to be recognized
as legal body. They have denied to
Shelby and other counties the constitu-
tional right of representation. They
have denied to two-thirds of the people
of the State, who never took up arms
against the Government, the constltu-
tonal right to exercise the elective fran
chise, and to hold Office. They have,
when their authority was questioned, APP
pealed from the people, the source Of all
Just government, TO the military and
thus, while claiming to exercise func-
tons of civil government, recognized to
the fullest extent the monarchal doctrine
that the civil is in subsection to the mil
itary power But the fact is becoming
apparent that the present dynasty at
Nashville is on its last legs An
DREW JOHNSON will not permit 1t
TO rely on the army of which he is com
mander-in-chief When that fails BRowS-
LOW and his squad Of hackers, they will
have nothing to stand upon. FIVE could
speak to the Conservative members, we
would advise them to hold out TO the end.
The people will sustain them. In that
way they can represent and serve the
people. In that way they can defeat the
amendment and rescue our noble State
from the dishonor of being the first to
ratify a measure meant TO inhict a wrong
and punishment, degradation and
stain upon the Southern States
