ty to friends is cardinal virtue, afld
cannot be neglected without dishonor
During the progress of the late war
there were few men at the North
who boldly vindicated the cause of
the South; who denied the right Of
the Federal Government to make war
upon the States. These men incurred
q vast odium. and many of them suf-
fered severe penalties for their cour-
age and candor. In the course of time
the Southern people were compelled
to lay down their arms and accept the
terms of a conqucror. They are invi-
ted to a convention, purporting to
have for its object the restoration of
the Southern States and people to
their right and privileges in the Fede-
raj Union. These delegates not only
consent to, but champion the exclu-
sion from the deliberations of the Con-
vention, of those men who were and
remain the indicators of the South in
her darkest hours Is this manly and
honorable?
The Convention has adjourned this
afternoon and the net result is the
betrayal of that view of Southern
rights and dignity of which Jefferson
Davis, under John G. Calhoun, was
and is the proper exponent its pro-
ceedings may be summed up in the

Objections TO the Convention.

On the other hand, we saw much we
did not like. There was an obsequious.
ness on the part Of many of the delegates
from the South, too evident anxiety of
compliance with any and every demand,
the faintest suggestion even from the
other side, that cannot be pleasing to our
people. The speeches of some of our
own delegates are open to this objection.
A proper dignity and selfrespect would
have dictated different course. We
know that this was dictated by policy,
but with all due Difference to the pohti.
cal wisdom of our seniors, we opine that
the same end conld have been gained by
a more manly course, and we heartily
agree with the New York Daily Ne,0s
Of the l7th, when it SAYS:
ave will confess that to us the i'm
preston was painfully conveyed that the
South, if fairly represented at the Con.
vention, is bending too low in its eager,
ness to conciliate the North. There are
it is true, some noble exceptions in the
persons Of men who realize that man
hood need not forfeit either dignity or
independence in misfortune; but many
of the Southern delegates seem to have
hurled their pride ofrace in the grave Of
the Confederacy. They wore too much
the aspect of courticrs at the footstool OF
power to be true types OF the people
who fought so well, and who endured so
much for the maintenance Of tn cir politi-
cal faith. We do not for a moment be.

The Convention VicwS--The Views
Of It's Friends.
On the 18th of July We used the fol-
lowing language in the News
"If Governor OnR is willing to put
the cemeteries of the Federal dead I'M
der the peculiar care of the Govern
ment, while those of the Confederate
lie "unhonored and unsung," and if
he can "sincerely" turn over to the
tender mercies of that Government
the families of those who died that
Government might live, and leave
those other families to the cold chari-
ties of country that ignores them,
VIC cannot. Heaven knows this State,
even at the earnest appeal of Vice
President Orr, can hardly "cordially"
do such a thing"
On the 10Th of July we said in the
News,
"Our first proposition in the way of
objections is, that a representations by
delegates in the Convention would
commit the South to measures that
would be entirely humiliating."-
"Wc cannot do this without commit
ting ourselves. We have not lost
everything. We have some self-re-
spect left"
On the Goth of July we said in the
News,
s'The State, if she enter that Con-
vention, does it with knowledge of
the breakers before her"
We declared for the dignity and
honor of our State for these were all
she had left. The majority differed
from us. We are now willing that
they should be heard, when it is too late,
upon the very point We laid so much
stress.

"some of the resolutions might have
