THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

Three classes made up the assembiage.
First, the unwashed, unannointed, unfor-
given, unrepentant. unhung rebels OF the
South. They were represented by such
politicians as the rebel Vice President,
lately called from the classmates of Fort
Warren, by his admiring constituents. to
represent them in the Senate of the
United States; by such gallant Generals
as Dick TAYLOR, who. when his brigade
had captured in battle seven Union men
who had escaped the rebel CONSUMPTION
in Louisiana. and had joined Vermont
regiment to fight for the Union, compel
led them to dig their own graves. ard
ordered them shot in his presence, by
such ctergyuen as the Rev. Jesse t.
Ferguson. who, years ago, (possibly IN
anticipation of the wants Of his brother
Champ, lately hanged in Nashville for
twenty Union murders,l proclaimed
post norton gospel, glad tidings for the
dead aud damned, who gave the weight
of his ministerial character to aid in the
destruction of the Union. and now speaks
touchingly of the ..lost cause; and last,
but not least, By Gov. Orr, who taught
the blessed lesson that ii South Carolina
would join the arm-in- arm embrace of
Massachusetts,, she must first slaughter
%, 900 sons of the Bay State This first
class formed the great, dumb, heroic ele
ment of the Convention The second
class was the dishonored. depraved, de-
featcd remnant of Northern Democracy.
The divine Fernando, the sainted martyr
Vallandigham, the meek eyed Rynders,
and the patriotic II. Clay Dean were
there, and their past distinguished servi-
ces in the cause of their country were
only equaled by the self sacrificing spirit
by which they preserved tue harmony of
the Convention. The part played by the
Democracy in the Convection was hum
BILE one. They could not have looked
upon their brother delegates from the
South without feelings of reverence and
admiration for the heroism which led
them to battle in the field to sustain
cause for which they (the Northern De-
mocracy) had dared to do no more than
speak and vote and pray Third, last
and least, were all those apostate Union
men who hunger and thirst after office
and the spoils thereof; who greedily
gather up the crumbs that fall from tue
political table. That class was not the
Lazarus of the Convention, for though
the Democracy did not hesitate to lick
their sores and make them the chief
managers, they still lacked the piety of
the Jew. They were paupers, disinherit-
ed by the party of freedom, and are now
begging their political bread from door
to door. They were men whose presence
in that Convention was painful surprise
to their Union friends, men of whom
higher and nobler things were expected;
men who had served with honor in the
army of the Union. Let US hope that
when they see the company into which
they have fallen, they will remember the
holy cause for which they have fought
and retrace their unfortunate steps. 1t
is that convention and those men by
whom and through whom the President
proposes to settle the great questions
now pending before the nation.-Extract

the treachery OF Andrew johnson and some OF his Of

party by which they were intrusted with power.
The aim Of this treachery is 10 put the steadtsst

EQUAL RIGHTS of AMERICAN FREEMEN. The
school houses of the Blacks burned and their

and arson by cheers for Andy johnson and execra-
tons OF Congress.
The purpose of forcing representatives of the Rebel
States into Congress defiance of the loyal OATH by
Presidential fat and Military power, is openly avowed
with threats that those no resist shall be treated

North and West.
1t has thus become imperative that those who stand

States to aXeept the amendment TO aDoi-
ish slavery This was imposed upon the
Confederate States as an imperative con-
dition precedent to their forming State
Governments. and they were compelled
to adopt it by military force This was
the first step in Mr.. ] hnson's policy.an
it conceded the whole ground of imposing
conditions upon the return OF the Confed-
crate States to representation " do not
understand Mr. johnson to have uttered
one word in opposition to that principle
In this his position is far more logical
and consistent than that of Messrs Ewing
Rives. and other constitutional lawyers,
who ignore utterly the fact OF voluntary
repatriation from the halls of Congress,
and four years of bloody treason, destroy
ing by the law of nature and of nations,
erery drop Of political and inAerita6ts blood
in those communities Mr.. johnson oppo
ses ''policv" to impose conditions for
this, and reject them for that But Messrs-
Ewing Co. propose principle which,
if adopted, places the Government at'the
mercy of any State which may hereafter
choose to go in and out at its pleasure,
playing hide and go-seek with all its con-
stitutional obligations. The principle is
destructive of any government, and es
peciaily of a government founded on the
union of States. So far from being preser-
vative of State rights, it is absolutely de-
structive of the rights of those States
which do not rebel.
The principle of imposing conditions
being admitted, we now ask why not i'm
pose condition which will make re-
presentation equal? Who deny the abso-
lutte equity and Justice of the am endment
proposed by Congress Who can deny
it?
Now we will show the practical work
ings of having. or not having, the amend
ment, on the State of Indiana. Let ev-
cry man in the State of Indiana read the
following table. 1t is table of popula-
tion and representation in the four rebel
States of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana
and Mississippi, compared with the pop
ulation and representation Of Indiana.
The first line is the white populations;
the second the negro population, the
third is the representation, withoM the
amendment proposed by Congress, and
the fourth the representation wiM the

Shall We have Equal Repres entation?-
A Nut for Indiana to Crack.

We select the State of Indiana as a
fine example, to show the working of
the Codperhead policy although the
principle and the illustration applies
equally to all the white States-States
where negroes are not large part of the
population. Indiana is in the midst of
central West. Her population represents
in : fair degree, the people of the West.
She claims to have equal rights with
those Of any of the States. She GER
tainly has equal rights with any of those
lately in rebellion. Take what theory
you may OF the present political coRdi-
ton Of the rebel States, it is presumed
that her political condition is as good as
theirs, although Messrs. Doolittle. Ew-
ing 4 Co. claim rights for the Confeder-
ate rebel States which were never conce-
ded to Indiana and Ohio when they were
in the Union, but not represented. Let
that 60. 1t must be conceded that loyal
Indiana, has, on the whole, political
rights at least equal to those of rebel
Louisiana. Granting that, let US proceed
to examine the relative rights, power
and condition of Indiana and Louisiana
In the first place Louisiana deserted, ex-
patriated herself Gas did Alabama, NJ is
sissipi and Florida). to which we shall
now refer. l. From both Houses Of
Congress. Her Representatives took
their bodies and souls officially out of
Congress. They expatriated themselves
bodily. morally and politically. AS to
representation, they did secede, and it is
a simple fact The State did not secede,
because they did not succeed in fighting.
Taking the facts, without any theory of
the Constitution, there are two plain, So
lid, palpable facts before US. They did
take the representation out. They did
not take the State out. The first they
could do. The second they could not.
They had the will to do both. What fol-
lows from those facts? Three facts fol-
low, and notwithstanding the violent con-
troversy going on, all parties admit those
facts:
/ 1. That Louisiana, Alabama, de-, did
take their representation out ,. Tha;
they did not take the State out, for the
Constitution and laws are now enforced
in every part of the late rebel States. 3
That the political condition Of those
States is changed SO far that the Govern
ment has q right to impose conditions
upon their return to representation. The
last has been admitted and acted upor
BY the President, Mr.. johnson, and en-
forced, by compelling the Confederate

With less population {white) than the
State of Indiana, these four rebel S tates
are, under the present policy and
sctthoW the amendment, to have tWenty-
one Representatives while Indiana has
only eleuenf Ten of these are Represen-
taiives of negroese A million two hun
bred thousand negroes send ten mem
bers of Congress, and these negroes have
not solitary vote. These ten Repre-
sentatives are the Representatives of ne
groes, PIT IN by tier old masters. The
State of Mississippi having the same
white population with the First, Second>
and Third Districts of Indiana, will send
ste Representatives to those three in In
diana; that is, Mississippi, after having a
fair representation of her white people
will send three members for her negroes
to vote with the three Representatives Of
white people in Indiana! 1t seems to us
we have heard something about this be-
ing a white man Government. It will
be beautiful white mans Government
when four rebel States on the Gulf send
ten Representatives of negroes to bal
ance Indiana! If the people of Indiana
are willing to do this, let them elect
Copperheads by all means Then it
may be said of Indiana, as of one of the
tribes of Israel. 'Lssaeher is a strong
