Thsgshis Philadelphia Convention Il likely
10 be controlled By this or that clique OF fac
tion 10 altogether improbable; that men Of
div srss opinions. and far different antccs>
dsdts will be gathered there, 10 true but
there 10 not the Ill ghtcst reason in this Why
one honest, pats lotto individual should stay
away. who sincerely approves Of The prin.
ciplss upon which the call has been made.
The spirit Of intolerance is the worst foe 10
the - establishment Of peace and good will
among our people. aud none but the enc
mics Of the Union will indulge in il, At .
time like this. The Philadelphia Conven-
zion will call together men OF enlarged views
and patriotic feelings, before whose strong
resolution oil at. mpts at low. vulgar, i o.
litical intrigue will be defeated Il will af
ford an opportunity for American states,
manship to review dispaSsionatsly the past:
to understand the present situation; and
TO provide for tho future Il will begin,
Ne hope and trust. by an act Of oblivion in
favor Of all Who honestly accept the situa.
tion. aud pledge a true loyalty now, and
hereafter to the Constitution, tho Union,
and the govcrntn, of tic United States.
We recognize this convention a. the first
great demand for peace. aud the restoration
Of tho Union. aud il will matter very little
whether this or that particular man ID pre-
cent II absent; the great tide will move
and swell juat the same until every obstacle
10 swept before the will and purpose Of the
people. The convention may b. either
hsmpsred in its deliberations for the time,
or ito present conclusions rendered iueen-
plste by political intrigue; but the move
msnt which has been insugurased cannot
b. checked o. turned ss.ds until ~ objects
ere attained.
The best way, hewsvsv, 10 prevent OF de-
feat these intrigues and cabals, 10 for honest
Union men, Who approve the call TO 20 or
scnd Representatives, and not 10 b de-
TERED or disheartcncd by the cry Of, Wolf /,
wolf!
