PROPOSED NATIONAL CONVENTION.

A movement is making among the
Conservatives 10 hold q National Con
yention in Philadelphia Its scope EN-
braces men OF every section, and OF
every party designation who are opposed
to the Radicals II is not proposed 10
be Democratic, or Republican, but
patriotic and national. 1t will afford
the first occasion since 1860, upon
which the people of the two sections
may mingle in deliberation. No man,
either North or South, who wishes to
perpetuate the alienation Of the sections,
and the passions of the war, has any
business there Amy party that declines
TO indorse the objects Of it, will simply
place itself on sectional ground We
cannot prosper together as we are. A
purely sectional party would keep us SO.
The Radical party is purely sectional,
and its platform, disguise it as it may,
is one of disunited States, with the
Southern minority held as conquered
provinces A programme so fierce as
this, would include vast standing army,
vast standing import and export tax
on all Southern products, levied with the
sole view of Furnishing the South and
enrichlng the North. This is sufficiently
proven by the hot haste to amend the
Constitution, and thus render the policy
Of Radicalism the organic law of the
land. THE people are distrusted, The
present Congress- is not the representa-
tive of the popular sentiment Of to-day.
1t was of 1864, when the war was pro-
crossing. As it was then, il is now, a
war Congress, aud does not dare to con-
suit the peace sentiment of the country
before il consumates its measures Of dis
union and alienation The great move
ment, the first since the cessatioe Of hos
tilties, invites the South into the eoun.
ellis Of the country By all means let
the South Fespend- 10 hold back,
would indicate that We are sectional In
short, il would place as on the ground
now oeeuPietlby the Radieaisi that of
pure sectionalism They would take
courage from our position, and, with the
material offered by us, would fortify their
own position. The Convention, great Ms
it doubtless will prove, will make up the
issues direct between Conservatism aud
Radicahsm. 1t viii speak with ma
tional, not sectional voice 1t may
brighten few Radical States from rati
flying the amendment, and serve TO com
nit the question to the decision Of the
ballot-box. We do not believe, as we
hear, that the Democracy of the North
are opposed to it. Why should they be
Certainly they cannot, Of themselves,
carry the impending elections. With
out support from the Conservative Re
publicans, they must be defeated What
them Radicalism will be everywhere
triumphant. We trust that the Democ-
racy viii take national, not q party,
view Of this subject, and 20 into the
Convention Every State in the South |
should send full delegation.

The immediate pretext for this rather
sudden beginning was Che mobilization
of the German Federal army, decided by
the Diet on the l4th of June, upon mo-
ton of Austria; and the order given to
Bavaria and Austria, by the Diet, to re-
pei, by force, the invasion Of Prussia
seems to indicate that Immediately upon
the receipt of the. order of mobilization
Of the Federal troops at Berlin, the Prus-
sian forces were ordered ito commence
hostilities. Count BIsMARK at once de-
clared the German Copfederacy dis
solved; and it is to be foreseen that, ac-
cording to the chances war, the smaller
principalities and Kingdoms of Germany
will throw their armies and Influences
wherever the instinct Of selfpreserva-
ton prompts them to go 1t was ex-
pected long ago that Saxony and
Silesia would, at the start, be the
theatre of VAR Saxony Ter the
reason of Prnssia's inveterate hatred
against that kingdom, and SiIesia as the
NATURAL and historical battle-ground be-
tween Austria and Prussia In fact there
are already stationed nearly all the avail
able forces of Prussia between Erfurt
and Glatz. All the troops have been
taken away from the Rhenish provinces
of Prussia. The garrison Of Berlin is re-
duced TO about 2000 men, and even from
the eastern border all the troops have
been ordered ipto Silesia, where Prus-
sian army of at least 100000 men has
been concentrated. The withdrawal of
the several army corps from the eastern
and western borders Of the Prussian
kingdom seems to indicate an UNDER
standing OF Prussia with France and
Russia, and it may be concluded from
this circumstance, that, at least for a
time, the war will not take greater di-
nor involve ans other than
German Governments, until defeat of
the Italians, in putting the French army
in motion, shall spread the war all over
Middle and Western Europe.
