EDITORS PUBLIC LEDGER: Since the
adjournment Of Congress, the aILabsorb-
ing political topic, North, is the Phila-
delphia Convention--a source Of hope to
all true Unionists and Of fear to the
Radical agitators. The old war Demo
Gratis and the conservative Republicans
are sanguine that they will be able to
organize at this Convention, new party,
upon the johnson platform, which will
secure victory at the polls, at least for
the next four years They will probably
Succeed, it is thought, If the conserva-
tive men and their views prevail, but the
Convention is also saddled with defunct
body Of politicians known as peace Dem
ocrats "a class to be despised by all good
men North and South, and if they are
allowed any prominency in the assembly
the probability is that the desired plat
form will contain SO much of their rot

pecially the late soldiers, will have utter
contempt for 1t, aud thus success at tue
polls viii be quite as impossible as was
Mcclellan after receiving the indorse-
ment Of these very same men. II may
be set down as a maxim that whatever
party associates with the peace Demo.
Gratis, within the next ten years, is
doomed to suffer defeat, and therefore il
is earnestly to be hoped by conservative
men of both sections, that that obnox-
ious element will be excluded from the

WASHINGTON, . August IL. = Powerful
exertions are being made by the oppo-
nents of Gen, Banks, to induce the
President to authorize the publication Of
the report made by Major General Smith
and Hon James 7. Brady, oftbe admin
istraticn of the Gulf Department, made
during the military goyernorship Of
Banks.f iAagbeat hsE llnBl 3 lahd
The Philadelphia Ledger doubts wheth-
er these efforts will be successful, for the
reason that no particular reasons exist
for the publication, which the expediency
will be sure to dictate that the report
had better remain unpublished slrsi-ys
"A large number of the delegates to the
Convention, including the committee
appointed to wait upon the President,
arrived here last night They pronounce
the Convention great success, and be-
lieve its results will have a salutary eff

Very sensibly have the Democrats con
cluded to elect Rousseau, 2 Republican,
to Congress without opposition This
policy consolidates Democracy and Con
seryatism, and leaves the dry bonessof
Radicalism scattered bleaching and far.
The, editor of the Louisville Journal
says the Courier Of yesterday. having
determined to get into the Democratic
party and drop the nonsense in which
he has been INDUCING for theslas four
months, the whole prospect before him
is all cols,ir dc. rose He gets happier
aud more delighted the nearer he gets,
and it is exquisitely refreshing to read
his free confessions His animosi-
ties. against Democrats aud rebels
appear to be buried beneath DUyAIUs
grand majority, and he now writes about
them in dulcet strains. He don't want
any man prescribed because he has been
in, either army, He wants all OF the
supporters of the President TO stand
shoulder to shoulder and join hands with
the Northern Democracy. And so gentle
and conciliatory has he become, that he
says that, although the Northern Demoe-
racy repudiate the doctrine of secession
on all occasions, they can very, well act
with us though we make no formal re-
pudiation of that doctrine. - !. &c
