The ISSUE BEFORE THE PEOPLE. The great
Convention of all the States has met and con-
Guided it's work, and the people OF the United
States have it now before them to choose. No
general political platform ever yet was present
ed, to every part of which all persons could
agree, nor is it ever to be expected they should.
The people of the Southern States after fight
ing so long with courage and determination,
that has challenged the admiration of the world,
can hardly be expected cordially to assent to
the proposition that they wrong[ully provoked
the quarrel which has cost them so dear, nor is
it yet by any means an established tact that
the war has maintained the Constitution. In
all the future policy however, advocated by the
convention surely every true lover OF his coun-
try, North or South can cordially concur. That
the constitution with all its powers and re-
strictions unabridged and unaltered' should be
maintained is certainly all that any reasonable
person could desire or hope for, and giving to
all the states an equal and undeniable right to
a voice and vote will be the surest means of
securing justice to all sections of the country.
This is no time to cavi about modes of ex-
preston, and when the people Of this country
reflect upon the dire evils which the radical
politicians who now control Congress, ore so
eager to bring upon the nation, they carnot
surely hesitate to Join the conservative rsnks.
