How to Get Refreshed.

As almos; every one in this heated wea.h.
er. feels more or less dull On getting up Of
mornings, we publish the following advise,
which we find in an exchange:
Every person who tolls daily at any kind
OF labor, require great physical or mental
exertion, should be extremely careful TO pTac-
tce a regular system OF abluti0n az the close
of each days work. Sometimes a person
may be- SO completely exhausted as to render
this any thing but an inviting performance
yet by its omission n great deal If the re.
freshment which the hours of repose are DE-
signed to impart, is lost. To be cleanly, is a
strictly religious duty, and absolutely essen
tial 10 a sound refreshing slumber; hence the
labor OF keeping ones person clean is amply
repaid by the elasticity which follows from
mig ,ly ahlutions before retiring. Heed this
advice, and the reader will sleep soundly
disregard it-go to bed unwashed-and you
will rise in the morning unrefreshed, with
feelings of lassitude which the exertions of
the dGy will hardly be able 20 remove

Accessory to Murder.

~. The negro worshIppers have at various
times sianderously charged us with advising
the assassination of Pre- sident Lincoln. A
baser falsehood was never uttered; but how
will they get along with the "copperhead
republic sheet called the Uaion, printed in
Rock Island which INDUCES in language like
the following
1t is said that people are spared at times from
great caismitIes :or some good purpose, but FOR
WHAT OBJECT HE WAS SPARED OVER A
YEAR AGO Is MORE THAN WE CAN FAITH
ON unless it might be 10 operate terrible
warning TO evil doers."
This is said in reference to Sec'y Seward,
and the wretch who uttsrs it pretsnds TO be
patriot. 1t that is not encouraging murder,
we do not know what could be. The idea is
plainly expressed that the writer regrets that
the assassin did not succeed IN his hellish de-
sign and put al end to the life of his victim
Why does net the Transcript, why does not
the Tribune howl about the fendish spirit
that dictated the words. Is it any worse to
warn a public officer that his course leads to
death, than it is to lament that the assassia's
hand was unsteady? Why don't they howl?

TRYING TO MAKE THE PHILADEL-
PHIA CONVENTION ODIOUs.

The radical republican disunion
caucus of members of both houses
of congress, recently held, occu-
pied its time chiefly in denouncing the pro-
posed Philadelphia convention and in resolv-
ing that it was the first duty of those COM
posing the caucus to make it odious to the
people, which result they evidently think is
to be attained by calling it hard names and
making mouths at it. A dog bsying the
moon is not an inapt resem blance to the atti-
tude of these disunionists towards the convsn-
ton; and as the howl If the dog is generally
loud and continued in proportion to the
brightness of the moon, this radical yell of
agony may be accepted as evidence of the i'm
portance and value of the proposed copven-
ton. These fellows must not suppose that
the case with which they have made them-
selves odious Is any evidence of their ability
to make anything else odious. There is one
way and one alone 10 which they can preju'
dice tns movement with the people, and that
is by indorsing it. This they are not likely
to do, and therefore it is safe.

The black republican newspaper organs in
this state exhibit great fiippancy in applying
the word renegade" to every man who voted
for Lincoln and johnson and now approves
of the Philadelphia convention. Doubtless
these "rsueg ides," wno appear to be very
numerous. have not overlooked the fact that
the calls for the black republican state con.
vention, and nearly all the district and coun-
ty conventions, are not addressed to them
They are not addressed to those who have
heretofore acted in the organization and voted
for the nominees of that party but only to
those who are Sin favor of sustaining con-
gress in their efforts" &c.
These calls are the official voice of the
party. BY this voice, all who are not will
ling to give up their right OF free thought
and to approve unhesitst'ag ly of the fanatic
al efforts of radical disupionists in congress
to prevent a restoration of the Union, are
''read out" of the par y and forbidden to
participate in its conventions.
The lmpudence of sty ling men ''renegades"
who are thus summarly kicked out of the
organization by few self chosen leaders will
strike those who still adhere to the president
and the platform upon which he was elected
as particularly refreshing.

National Union Convention.

A national union convention of at least two
delegates from each congressional district OF al
the states, two from each territory, two from
the District of Columbia, and four delegates at
large from each state win be held at the city of
Philadelphia on the second Tuesday, t14h9 Of
august nert.
Such delegates will be chosen by the electors
of the several states who sustain the admin istra-
tion in maintaining unbroken the Union of the
states under the constitution which our fathers
established, and who agree in the following
propositions, viz:
The Union of the states il in every case indis-
soluble aun IS perpetual; and the constitution
of the United States and the laws passed by CON
gress in pursuance thereof are supreme, aud con-
slant and universal in their obligations
The rights, the dignity and the equality of the
tates in the Union, including the right Of repre-
sentation IN congress, are solemnly guaranteed
by that constitution, to save which from over
throw so much blood and treasure were expend-
ed in the late civil war.
There is no right anywhere to dissolve the
Union or to separate states from the Union eth
er by voluntary withdrawal by force of arms, or
by congressional action, neither by the secession
of states, nor by the exclusion of their loyal and
qualified representatives nor by the national
government in any other form.
Slavery is abolished, and neither can nor
ought to De re.estabEshed in any state terri
tory within our jurisdiction Hr
Each state has the undoubted right to pre-
scribe the qualifications of its own electors, and
no external power rightfuliy can or ought to
dictate, control or influence the free and volun.
tary action of the states in the exercise of that
right. -
The maintenance inviolate of the rights of che
states, and especially of the right of each state
to order and control its own domestic concerns
according to its wnjudgment exclusively, sub.
ject only to the constitution of the United States
is essential to that balance of power on which
the perfection and endurance of thepolitical fab
ric depend, and the overthrow of that system b,
the usurpation and Capitalization of power il
ongress would be revolution, dangerous t.
republican government and destructive of Hber
ty. .sss.
Each house of congress is made, by the con
stitution, the sole Judge of the elections, returns
and qualifications of its members, but the ex
clnsion Of loyal senators and representative
properly chosen and qualified under the consti
tuition and laws, is unjust and revolutionary.

and proceedings everywhere which can serve nc

other purpose than to rekindie the animosities OF
war, and the effect of which upon our moral,
social aud material interests at home, ana upon
our standing abroad, differing only In degree, is
injurious like war itself.
The purpose of the war having been to pre-
serve the Union and the constitution by putting
down rebellion, and the rebellion having been
suppressed all resistance to the authority of the
general government being at an end, and the war
having ceased, war measures should also cease,
and should be followed by measures of peace al
administration! SO that union, harmony ana ceI
cord may be encouraged, and industry, COM
merce, and the arts of peace revived and promo
ted and the early restoration of the states to
the exercise of their :tutiona powers in the
national government is indispensably necessary
to the strength and the defence of the republic,
and to the maintenance of the public credit.
All such electors in the So states and terri
tories of the United States, and in the District
of Columbis who, In spirit of patriotism and
love for the Union, can rise above personal and
sectional considerations, and who desire to see a
truly National Onion Convention, which shall
represent all the states and territories OF the
Union, assemble as friends and brothers under
the national flag, to hold counsel together upon
the state of the Union, and to take measures to
avert possible danger from the same, are special
ly requested to take part in the choice of such
delegates. $3.50
But no delegate will take seat in such con
vention who does not Loyalty accept the nationa
situation and cordially indorse the principles
above set forth, and who is not attached in tru'
allegiance to the constitution, the Union and thu
government of the United States.
