A Convention of POliucians-NOt of the
People

POLITICAL conventions are generally supposed,
in certain sense at least, to represent the peo.
pie. Their members are usually chosen directly
by the people in their primary assemblaSes.
Tins IS not the case, however, with reference to
the approach ne Convention in this city. SO
far as we have observed, the members of that
Convention have almost uniformly been ap-
pointed either by set-consyituted committees,
or by the regular Democratic party
committees, and without any reference
to the people, In some of the Southern States
the Governors have appointed delegates. In
New York however, the RAYMoNDWEBD faction
have called State c nveGt,on for the appoint.
mc1t of delegates to Philadelphia, to be elected
in the usual manner by the people in their
primary assembIages. But taking the Conven-
ton as whole it will have none Of the elements
Unpopular representation about it. For instance,
MONTGOMERY BLAIR and j. r. DooLITTLE are
delegates from California. So, too, the
Nevada delegation was male up by lot Of
fellows in New York city, who assembled at the
Metropolitan hotel and appointed themselves.
As to getting any genuine reflection of
popular sentiment from Convention
thus constituted, It is o. course out of tue quns
ton. We shall dnd ont what certain poliiCIans
think, but We know tuat already We know
Mr. DooLITTII's views and DIr. VALLANDICH HAM's
and Mr.. BEN WOODS and Mr.. Justice WooD-
Wards. But as to dRding out from these gen
tlcnen what the great masses OF the people
think, we shall no. do 1t, because they
are not the representative men OF the
people. MIR. VALLANDIGHAM tested that
question in Ohio, and found himself
i'll q m nority of one hundred thousand votes.
Mr.. WOODWARD tried it IN this State, with a
similar result Hence we are compelled to
regard the Philadelphia Convention not as
Convention of the people but rather as an
assembly of polite ans, many of whom have
been repeatedly repudINted by the people, and
all OF whom are opposed to the dominant popu-
lar sentiment OF the country.

The americana, the organ of the
French citizensi n this country, publishes a
special correspondence from New Orleans rela-
tive to the late riot in that city, which is of
value, because it will be read and copied INTO
nearly all the journals OF France. We translate
the following paragraph to show its tone:-
The annals Of the most savage people afford
nothing parallel 20 that which passed yesterday
in our city. Mayor MONROE ought to be content
WI h his police. Liberty Liberty OF speech
Liberty OF assembage! There is no such thing
among MS. The scenes OF Memphis are re.
enac ed in our streets. Mole deadly, more ter
rble, more bal barous. Hundreds OF families
are IN mourning. Innocent blood has been she'd
To the number OF victims we must add the
names OF the best of our citizens. y
And, meanwhile, what must | say in regard to
the sentiments which animate the Union people? !?
With one voice they accuse President JOHNSON
OF completely with MONROE, HEBRON, and the r
consorls. Are they wrong? Are they not

Speaking of the riot, we sec the Tribune
this morning publishes the following significant
despatch:-
"WAsHINGToN, August GA despatch has

that much surprise is ielt in Ne Orleans at the

of indorsing all that has been done by the
Rebels. ! hope to send you General SHERIDANs
