. WORD FoR THE POOR WOLVES

Tho PHILADELPHIA Convention is likely to be mel
,,cbolv and miscellaneous gathering, kept together
If at all by some law Of conference, yet unpupSneu
by political philosophers. Ii will exhibit Doth tne
variety and the viyacy Of menagere at the precise
moment when the attendants are bringing IN the
baskets of beef but it will diminish the pleasure OF
the spectators and the safety of the performers II
,trong cages are not provided for the hottest and
bunpriest of the animals. Mr.. Weed, who will have
charge of the pole, WILL no doubt, select long one
for stirring up the beasts; but with every precauion,
he may be lacerated by the tigers, or crunched by
the hyenas or outchattered By the monkeyS-especi-
ally the Southern monkeys who handle revoyers,
and may add the soft notes OF those instru'
ment, to the persuasions of their natural eloquence
This is serious matter. We don't know that Mayor
Monroe is to be delegate, though as very lively,
enthusiastic and vigorous practitioner of potorecon'
struction we feel that he should be there. But the
Convention promises lack Of creatures OF the same
sanguinary stripe. What if the amiable MIR. Wander
bilt should be brought home with an ounce OF lead
specifically shaped and snugly deposited in his duo
denuml What if somebody, with particularly long
and well-ground blade, should perform surgical
operation upon Mr. Stewart and put all the clerks III
his marble shop into mourning-to be had however
at cost upon the premises What if Mr.. Jerome
should never come back to his fine house and last
horses! What, ye gods il Mr.. L. Weed himself,
while engaged in oling the waters, should TALL in
heels over head, flask in hand, and never come up
againl This is a catastrophe which we will not per-
nit ourselves to contemplate.
To prevent depIorable row, riot, rumpu', shindy,
free fight or by Whatever the threatened trouble
NAV be called we recommend that all the delegates,
each stey suppressing his private and personal emo
tons whether appertainng 10 the BRAIN the belly or
the pocket, should unite in some preeminently be-
nevolent and Christian enterprise, under the apostolic
leadership of Mr.. vallandgham. May we be per-
United humbly to suggest, for instance, the awful
condition of the poor Rebel inhabitants Of New-Or
leans-heir dignity, their persons and their property
so at the mercy of a horde of powerful, unreSraned
and rampant Blacks that the other dag, in sheer des-
pera,on and sefdefense, they reluctantly COM
PEELED with many signs, doubtless, aud secret ear')
great number of their sable oppressors
then and there to shoot upon the spot
We are afraid that sufficient allowance
has not been made for the feelings, very nice and
sensitive of Mayor Monroe and his suffering tail OF
low.spred terrorists defeated insurrectonist may
bear simple defeat and swallow tit is the trimmings
of the unpalatable banquet if we may say at which
his gorge martally mutinies-the narrowing specta-
Gle Of free niggcrs marching in procession with band

incident TO an epidemic Of equality the righttui

marms the dstractng phenomenon OF Black wit
nesses swearing away the lives and the Liberties, the
credit and the cash, Of the poor superior classes
All how different things were once! BY what mys-
terry has the boot been transferred to the other Leg II
i bottles 20 inquire The Philadelphia Convention
has only TO recognize the narrowing fact, and to do
something FOR the poor White folks of New-Orleans.
We should Ike to know what the deuce the members
are TO coAe together for il not for that All the
Southern Whites OF the unmitgated, unrepentant,
dsloyal strain are the Poor Whites now moral sand
Killers and abstractly eaters Of clay. We pity them.
We demand at least few carminatye resolutions for
their relief We pity them whilom we pitied the
now triumphant Black folks. We do not want them
to be Obliged for the sake of peace and quetness, to
shoot from seventy-fye TO one hundred and fifty
negroes every week. 1t may be sport now, but it
will be tedious presently.
Does anybody ask us what the Executive Convention
lad better do for the relief Of the poor downtroddeu
aud negro.riddcn Whites Of New. Orleans Money, we
have doubt would be acceptable to the inferior class
which suchs the rapdity of social changes) was only
yesterday superior class with all the cash. and all the
land and all the learning and all the other good pleas
ant and most of the bad, pleasant thngs-the solac-
ing succedaneums Of our checkered human existence.
But we do not expect Mr.. Weed TO give them any
money. We can fancy him eXcaimng in the Ian
guage of Cannng's Friend of Humanity"

Calm yourself Sage of Albany! We ask no more
of you than fragrant sheaf of resoluons-every
resolution plaster, poultce, and persuader They
may not have any great respect for your medicinal
manufactures in New-Olleans; but your Northern
friends can wear the goods vcariousy, and your poor
Southern friends will receive all the benefit. If yon
only manipulate Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Stewart, and
Mr.. Astor, and Mr.. Drew and the other monetary
magnfcoes properly-and you know how TODD II, you
know you do, innocent as you look-if you only get
your resolutions of sympathy and relief properly
passed, you will see some of the latest wallets CON-
ing ont that ever emerged from human pocket The
suffering LoyalDisloyalist will get something; but
when there is money round you can take care of
yourself Don't mock the poor Newt Orleans gentle
men with empty resolutions. when they are at the
mercy of the rampant, blood-thirsy sheep-these un
fortunate prosecuted, helpless wolves As many reso-
lutons as you please, Mr.. Weed but make the heavy
fellows come down with their dust
MANUFACTURES AND MURDERS.
