The PhiIadeInhia COnYention.

This body met yesterday, and a more important
gathering never assembled since the organization
OF the Government one fraught with greater in
terest not only to the Southern people, but to the
whole country. The South, however is more
particularly interested in its action for on the re-
suit of its deliberations depends, in fact our very
existence as people Momentous issues hang
upon the result. 1t is for that Convention to
breathe into exhausted body the breath of life,
to impart energy to PROSTATE and paralyzed
people,-to recognize us as entitled to all the pre-
negatives of our race and color We await the re-
suit with an anxiety the most intense. Should
wise counsels prevail should spirit of concila-
ton be exhibited, and a disposition to "let the
dead past bury its dead" be the rule of action,
then may we indulge in some hope of the future.
But if tests are to be applied if oaths that no
honorable Southern man can take, are to be re-
quired of our delegates before they are admitted
to the deliberations of the Convention, then it
would have been better for as had the meeting
never been called. The effect wiN be but to in
crease the Radical strength, and give intensity to
Radical hate. What that will be we have had saf-
fcient evidence by their action in Congress. We

DAYS we had imagined, and read of in history, but
never felt before Perfectly calm and still, the
sun poured down with such fury that the earth
fairly baked, and biped and quadruped alike dis
solved in streams. 1t hot, and the night
brought no relief, for myriads of musical insects
with long bills and very sharp ones too, made
night hideous with melodious strains, and put all

Posi- OFFICE AT Rocky POINT, NEw HANOVER Co.-We
glad to that at last this Post Office has
been reestabsed and the new Post Master, Mr.. Saml
s. Beery has received his commission. This desirable
result has been brought about mainly by the most
verng efforts, for many months, many difficulties,
the part of one two gentlemen in that vicinity. The
mails should now be promptly and regularly for
warded from Wilmington to that Office, for the
people Of New Hanover living near the Railroad
have long suffered for the want mail FACILITIES and
cecingy anxious to get the mails. The mail matter
Rocky Point, Ellington Moores Creek Black River and
places contiguous to these points, all pass through the
Rocky Point Posoce and hence the importance of the
re-estab:shment of this Office. The nconvenee to which
the people of this county have been long subjected
want of mails is great, and let the papers and let
tiers go forward to them with accuracy and promptness
through the proper official channels of the Postoice De-
pertinent.
By ali means let the mails at once go to Rocky Point
from all directions and thence to the upper part of New
Hanover.
We trust the old friends and patrons of the Journal in
that section, who have been cut Off from mail facilities
will send forward their We shall attempt to
make olu paper as acceptable as of yore.

are to be DISTINGUISHED our property to be con1is
Gated not recognized as portion of the
body polite but degraded from our high
estate, and mental class elevated above us. =
All the usages of society are to be torn
away, as subiugated people we are to know no
word, or indulge in any thought but that OF ab-
ject submission to the arbitrary will OF our CHRIS
taa conquerors We are to be turned over to the
tender mercies of the Puritans of New England,
whose glorious mission is, as they themselves
claim, to evangelist our land with a sword in one
hand and flaming torch in the other, to extend
civilization by fomenting intestine strife and to
add to the honors of the past by incitiog war
between the races. These are some of the results
we may expect in the event of the failure of the
Philadelphia Convention. No wonder then, that
our people are anxious and disturbed. It is not
for ourselves alone we feel this apprehension for
in the ordinary course of nature we must soon
leave the stage of action, but for children and
for those who are to come after Happy would
it be for them, had they never been born, than to
grow up as subject to ruthless radicalism to the
tyranny of an irresponsible majority which is the
worst species of all depotisms. We can only hope
that spirit of enlarged conservatism may prevail
in the Convention that the people, through their
representatives, may so deliberate, that peace
NAV be restored to our DISTRACTED country, and
that the South relieved from the incubes that is
crushing out its vitality, and ipatng in the
common benefits of common country, may once
more become erect, and prosperous and happy.
