The Kew Rebel Hattle-Cry-On
to rliIadeIpklia!

The Macon Georgia. Telegraph has an
article ou the Pbilsdelphla Convention. the
tenor Of which is shown ia the following
extract;
IAN is not lostl The idea that We sub.
mittsd all to the arbitrament of the sword,
and when the voice OF the sword went
against us We lost all, is false one. The
bugle now sounds the rsllyiug cry, aud We
must give back the swelling echo On to
Philadelphia II we failed to tax. it be,
fore, let us take it now. While We assail it
en- the South side, mighty host OF our
friends is marching upon the city from the
Nerth. Philadslpba will be ours; the bat
tie to be fought there is the most important
of the war. When we win the victory we
have bA to strike the blow and other vic
tories will surely follow, until Washington,
too, shall fall into cur hands. Writers of
the South end the orators of the sunny land
must fire the hearts of the faithful to fight
aud wrest the holy sepulchre from the hands
OF the in6dels. All is not lost We never
did submit our cause to the decision Of the
sword, ner will We ever do so. :"
Of course not. When did the South ever
regard an oath, parole, cartel, armistics or
Constitution as binding, when either stood
in the way Of their ambition or their seem
ing interest?

Of their absttsrs at the August Convention.
1t represents tb, conviots 10 the Eastern
Penitentisry as meeting and adopting an
address aud series of resolutions, aoknswi-
edging that in the conflict between them
selves and society they were overpowersd !;
but that they accept the situation, and de-
maBd immediately the restitution Of their
former rights. Caudor compsls the m to say
that they By no means abandon their pScu-
liar views upon "meum and tuum;" but if
they are not urged too far, they promise not
to practice the same in the future.
The address wiads up as follows: ct,
Let US, dear fellow citisens, live again
in peace and harmony. We ere oil mem
bers OF the same community, we ell have q
common God. Lot US trust, to each other,
our "pocketbooks )" let w upbar to each
other our houses; let US bare to each other
our bosoms. Then, indeed, will the past
with its bitterness be assuassd. and the
honor and freedom OF Philadelphia be for !

THE poor Copperheads, as a result
of yielding to their hard task masters
at Philadelphia, are made to grovel in
the very dust Of humiliation. Hear
how the New York Herald exults in
their disgrace:
On THE SrooL or REPENTANCE. One
Of the results of the popular movement iu
Pbiladelphia. has been to place the Hon. w.
Cornell Jewett. Esq, of Colnrado the
Hon. George Fraucis Train, ESQ. of Ne
braska; Hon. Fernando Wood and Hon
Ben Wood, of New York; and Hon. Glenn.
ent l. Fallandighnm. of Ohio, on proba-
ton. In the course of four or FIVE years,
according to the workings of the heart and
the exhibitions of sincere repentance, they
may be admitted into decent society.
Verify the way of these treacherous
transgressors is hard. After all their
services in the cause of the Rebellion,
they are stunned as if afflicted with
leprosy, by Convention in which
Rebel ex-Vice Presidents, ex.Senators
and ex-Generals are received with ap.
plause; are finally overpersuaded to
keep out of it; and they, for thanks,
receive such scorn and contumely as
the above!

A LOT of "played out" Generals,
who are supposed to be hungering for
"bread and BUTTER" have called con-
vention at Cleveland on the l7th of
September, to help along my policy"
We do not see in the list the names of
Grant, Sherman, Farragut, Sheridan,
Thomas, or any of the great soldiers
who led our armies to victory. In
their stead, we find the names of John
A. Dix, whose soldering was afar off
from the enemy; Alex. Mcdowell Nc
Cook, miserable failure; John A. Nc
Clernand, who quarreled with Grant at
Vicksburg and went over to the Cop
perheads; and W. B. Franklin, a Nc
Clellan kind Of General.
Such chat won't catch soldiers.

A great Union Mass Meeting was held at
Reading, Pa, on last Wednesday. 1t /.
estimated that 80, 900 peopls we're present.
Addresses were made from Eve stands by
Gen. John W. Geary, Union candidate for
Governor, Col John W. Forney, Hon. Levi.
W. Hall, Speaker Of the State Senate, Col.
Frank Jordan, Gen. Fisher, Of Lancaster,
and others.
Among the resolutions adopted are the
following, which have the right ring:
Re,elved, That the true Intent and pur.
pose Of the policy laid down by Andrew
johnson, the man made President by J.
Wilkes Booth, is to resurrsct from oblivion
and disgrace, the Democratic party, which,
for its reasonable course during the war,
was consigned to the tomb Of everlasting
infamy and shame, and we believe that the
success OF said policy would turn back the
wheels OF progress generation in our coun-
fry,s march to greatness and TO glory.
Resotved: That Henry j. Raymond, who
was made Cbsirmsn of the Natisnai Re-
publican Executive Committee by the Ma
tlonal UDion Convention of 1864. which
eominated Abraham Lincoln for President
Of the United States, by bis having follow
ed the lead Of the infamous Andrew John.
son, and with him, turned traitor to the
principles of bis party and the great inter
ests Of freedom and humanity. has become
unworthy and odious, and this convention
therefore requests that Committee to as.
semble and without permitting him to re.
sign forthwith expel him from the Chair
manship and from the Committee.
In the evening large and imposing torch
light procession finished up the days pro.

The Magnanimity Of the North.

Gen. james A. Garfield, 10 a speech at
Toledo on last Wednesday, said:
At the close of the Revolution our fathers
condscated the property Of every Tory, with
few exceptions, and bsnisted them all from
their midst; and now is there man or q
woman here who ever saw a man. or who
ever heard man confess that be was the
son of Tory? Never, reyeri We'll, in
these later dsys we let all Rebels 20 back to
their bomesteads and reEume all their rights
and privileges, except only temporary dis
ability as to the privileges of the elective
franchise (; and for this nagnanimity, which
has approached weakness. and has upques-
tionabIy done great nischief, Andrew John
son aud his friends curse Us as m~rciIess
prosecutors. We have declared that thess
Rebels, though they may live and die in
peace under the Ang they bave dishonored.
shall never again rule free men, ard by that
declaration We will stand 10 The last hour.
Cries Of Never back down" Believe me,
fellow citizens, we ueyerwil Great cheer
ing This issue is the issue to lie voted on
in the approaching elections, ard every vote
will be given either for the right of freed
men or for the uSurpations OF Rebels.

THE CONVENTION OF SOUTH
ERN UEEONISTS.

The Convention called by the South
ern Unionists, to take council together
and advise The Government of the
wants of the-South, will meet at old
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, on
next Monday. We published the call
some weeks ago. Since then large
number of names have been added, and
it is thought from 800 to 500 delegates
from the tried Unionists of the, South
will be in attendance.
The North is deeply interested in
this Convention, bat has not felt at lib
erty to send delegates. GOV. Fenton,
of New York, some days ago requested
Senators Morgan and Harris to attend
and welcome the Southern patriots,
ON behalf of New York, and assure
them of the sympathy and confidence
Of the Union men of the North. Some
Of the New York Congressional Dis
tricts are also appointing committees
Of reception. Massachusetts has ap-
pointed committee of one hundred,
headed by Gov. Bullock, and among
the others are the venerable Josiah
Quincy, Gen. B. F. Butler, Gen. N. p.
Banks, Senators Sumner and Wilson,
Gen. K. W. Kinks, Prof. Theophilus
Parsons, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver
Wendell Holmes andJoh G.. Whittier.
Indiana has also appointed large del
egation.
The Convention, we presume, will be
largely attended from the North The
Southern delegates are to be the guests
Of the Loyal League of Philadelphia.

The National Union Executive Com

Convention of 1864, has been summon
ed to meet at Philadelphia, September
3, by a call of four of its members
1t is said the first work to be done by
it twill be the expulsion of it's chairman
Mr.. Henry J. Raymond, who has
gone over to the Copperheads, but who
will shortly find that he can't sell out
the great Union Party. The Wheeling
Intelligencer we'll says no Swiss mer-
cenary is more complete soldier OF
fortune than this man Raymond. He
is writer Of platforms by trade.

GEN. GRANT.-The Boston Journal, re-
ferring to the presence Of Gen. Grant at the
White House when the President received
the Philadelphia delegation, and the politi-
cal significance sought to be given to it by
the Democratic papers, pertinenty says:
"When General Grant sees ft to give his
opinions on the political issues Of the day.
it will be time enough to assign him his re-
latiou to the contending parties But we
have no hesitation in saying that those who,
considering the constitutional Amendment
to be the leading issue of the day. assume
that General Grant is opposed to that. will
yet hnd that they are reckoning without
their host" ..
