In Bad Health

4 The journal is in a bad way. The Symp.
toms are alarming considering the location
of the disease and that the mercury ranges
up among the ninetie's.
ESl~rhe journal never said word in IA
vor of General Chamberlain for Governor,
but advocated the claims of Mr.. Spring who
was not soldier. and did all it could to
have Chamberlain defeated.
&S~lt is sorry that Lieut.. Whitcomb is
appointed Postmaster of Ellsworth. sol
der who had the credit of keeping his COM
pany in the best order of any in the regi-
ment and who always did his duty.
Ga~Wc took the liberty of suggesting
that after taking this course deliberately
! "a course in direct autagouiSm to the sol
/ der. that it was not very consistent TO
1 step frward at the eleventh hour as the
soldiers especial friend. nor very modest in
ii to come forth and proclaim whom the
Union voters in the County may select cam
didateS from. Were we out az the way !?
We suppose the voters are of age, and
that it is safe to calculate that they know
something.
The Journals personal history has moth
ing to do do with the questions we put, or
the statements we made last. Nor has
ours. However. if the Journal editor has
any personal friends. they can do him no
better service than to put paddock on his
lips. II he was as injudicious while in the
field rs he is now in welding the pen, his
men were to be pittied. If the public cared
4 fig for his history, we have some facts
with which to supply the omissions in his
personal account, which wonid render the
narrative more perfect. The Journal editor
hat no tracr frieH9. nor one that gaze
better proof ef Friendship. than Ike editor Of
the 1mericdH. We don't propose to fortify
no call for it.
Does the Journal propose to 60 into per-
sonalitics? Can it not advocate the claims
of General Caldwell in good temper:-
Must it sink the man, and 20 to throwing
dirt ? when. too. ii Was all meeknesS and
fairness when it launched it, bank on the
sea of politics?
We wish to be frank with the journal
and our readers. therefore we assert that
the Journal WAS started to run down the
Ellsworth .inierican. and to run up the
Journal to run up General Caldwell, and
down whoSoever came up for Congress in
opposition to him. in Hancock County or
any other County. This j. our understand
ing of the work laid out for the Journal
and the cause oil its being born into the
world. Now let us propose that both the
Journal and lie ila.ricaH shall accept this
statement as thctruc one of their relative
positions. and then 60 about our duties in
fair way and As neighbors. We are will
ling certainly that the Journal should sup
port the General for Congress. and will
submit as well as we can. If it runs us
of the track" We hope to keep on good
term, also with our neighbor, because we
have been friendly in the past and because
we have rendered him. We hope, some per-
sonal service and should be extremely
sorry 10 find that our good opinion had

Southern Unionists' ConveE-
ton.

WAsHINaroN. July 1.-THE follow
inr is a call for Convention ct Souther:
JJaionists to he held at Philadelphia, IN In.
dependepce Hall. on the first Monday o
September, 1S66:--
,.TOTHE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH;
The great issue is upon us The major
ity in Congress. and its supporters. firmly
declare that the rights of the citizens
enumerated in the Constitution aud estab
lished by the supreme law, mist be mann
tanned iuviolate Rebels and rehei sym
pathizcrs assert that the rights OF the CIT
liens must belong to the states alone and
under such regulations as the respective
states choose voluntarily to prescribe.
We have seen this doctrine OF state sover-
eighty carried in practical results until all
authority in Congress was denied the tu-
lou temporarily destroyed, the constitution
al rights OF the citizens OF the south nearly
annihilated and the land desolated by CIV
il war. The time has come when the
structure of the Southern states Govern
ments must he laid on constitutional pnn-
ciples. or the despotl>m grown UP under an
atrocious leadership be permitted to reman.
We know of no other plan than that Con-
rress now exercises its authority to estap-
lish the principle whereby protection Is
co-extensive with citizenship We main
tain that no state either by Its law or leg
islation. can make tFansgrcssion on .he
rights of the citizen legitimate. We de
mand, and ask You to concur IN demand
ing protection to every citizen IN the great
Republic on the basis of equality before
the law; and further, that no state Govern
ment should be recognized as legitimate
under the Constitution i'll 81 far rs 1t does
not by its organic law make impartial pro-
lection full and complete.
Under doctrine OF State sovereignty, with
rebels in the foreground controlling South
ern Legislatures and embittercd by disap-
pointment in their schemes to destroy the
Union, there will be no safety Tor the loyal
element of the South. Our reliance for
protection is now en Congress and the
great Union party that has stood and Is
standing by the nationality. by the consti-
tional rights Of the citizen. and by the
benefcient principles of free Government.
For the purpose Of bringing the loyal
Injouists OF the South into conjunctiye ac-
ton with the true friends of republican
government of the North. we invite yeu to
send delegates in goodly numbers numbers
from all the Southern States, including
Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Marylani Delawara,to meet at lndcpendeee
Hall, in the city of philadelphia, on tho
first Mon lay of September next. 1t Is
proposed that we should meet at that time
TO recommend measures for the establish
msnt ofsuch Governments in the South as
accords protect the rights of all citizens

of these wise assertions set our village a
cog one day this week, it was that Cop

ry and some did not. 1t was amusing to
notice the effect upon the Democrats some
not liking it that they had not been the
lucky one. II the President is strong e.
