THURLOW WEED.
The National Democracy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Thurlow Weed,
In a communication addressed to the
edito- of the New York Times, sus,alns
and approves the action of the Philadel-
phia convention He declares that the
Philadelphia convention conlemplaies
for the pending canvass, State organiza-
tions in the spirit of its purpose and &C
ton. 1t is presumed that, anxious TO
concentrate the Conservative sentiment
and strength of the Northern people,
State organizations would proceed upon
the basis Of the union inaugurated
at Philadelphia. Republicans and
Democrats, for the time being, and for a
common object, giving them names and
organizations in that of the National
Union party. He further says in regard
to the Albany nominating convention
that the Democratic party consented, for
the accomplishment of great national
reform, to temporarily merge itself in a
National Union movement. If such
was nv understanding and expectation,
and that too was the understanding of
the late Mr.. Richmond, with whom |
held frequent, frank conversations.
He concluded by saying that he shall
vote for the Democratic State ticket as
he interprets it.
The Times, referring to the letter,
says "While we understand and APP
preciato Mr.. Weeds feeling in this mat
ter, we cannot concur in his conclusions.
Much as we see to disapprove and de-
,preciate an action proposed by promi-
nent and influential men in the Union
party, we still deem the country infinitely
safer in its hands than in those of the
Democratic organization.

the instincts of race, the usages of soci-
ETY., and render ourselves hideous in our
own estimation. We will not commit
the folly of attempting to dissuade them
from such course We should insult
them if we did. CoLEMAY and ABLE will
be elected TO the Legislature without a
doubt, because they represent the people

niggerize the South.

a larger proportion of the regiment which
led the attack at the battle OF Solierino

seven hundred and some odd. How

NEW ENGLAND pRoFLIaAcY.

The Springfield, Massachusetts,, Union
saws that sensualism," in all Its most
beastly and disgusting forms OF hcen,
tiousness and proaigacy, is on, the RAPID
increase in all our New England cities
and towns, and nobody can blink 1t OUT
of sight without doing violence to his
knowledge and sincerity.
If the Union had expressed the whole
truth in regard to that section, it would
not have omitted so prominent fact as
its swift tendency to infdelity. Licen
tiousness finds its base in disbelief of the
binding force of those moral maxims In
culcated by the good men of all ages and
upon which the institutions of society
are founded. There is only one step
further until we arrive at denial OF the
whole Christian theory. New England is
rapidly taking that step. Her real gospel
is selfaggrandisement She has become
intolerant, vindctive-she always was
ayaricious. She stretches her drag net
over the whole country, and gathers into
her arms the spoils of industry from all
sections. In her practical vocabulary
there is no such word as charity Black
with faults herself, she cannot forgive
the waywardness of others. The lessons
she teaches on paper, bad as they are,
are not to be compared with her exam
pies. She processes religion, but prac-
tees extortions, cruelties, and prohgacy
Is it any wonder, then, that one of her
own journals is compelled to tell the
world the truth about its own people?

THE RIGHT MEN.

We are glad to see that the voters oil

unexceptionable officers, some very good
ones. and some that should be retired to
private life. In selecting Aldermen we
should look TO business capacity mainly,
for'the duties they will perform will be
as difficult as those of State Legislature.

CORRECTION.

The telegraphic report that the New
Orleans Times was about to take ground
for the constitutional amendment, is not
true, as an editorial in that paper of the
9th shows. 1t closes thus: The so-called
amendment is, therefore, decidedly OBJ
jectionable, both as regards the manner
of its introduction and the matter OF
which it is composed, and no State,
ether North or South, can consent to its
ratification without sinking its munich
pal dignity, and ignoring its rightful
claims under the Federal covenant by

The Davis Trial.

WASHINGTON, October 9-In day or
two an official statement of the condi-
ton of the Jefferson Davis case, with
reference especially to the failure to
bring the prisoner to trial, will be given
to the public. 1t is probable that as the
Chief Justice, Judge Underwood, United
States District Attorney, and the United
States Marshal Of Virginia will be
finally notified that the prisoner is now
held by the Court, subject to the writ Of
the United States Circuit Court of Vir-
ginia, to answer to the indictment found
in that court, those officers will doubt
less be requested to take immediate pos
