ssLoyal'' Men.

The disngenuOusness which characterized the
proceedings of the Wigwam Convention Is well
illustrated in the fourth resolution Of the series
adopted. and which calls upon the people to
elect Congress which will admit "Loydw repre-.
sentatives from every State. Now why was this
word "loyaln used? Plainly to meet the charge
of the Union men, that the conservatives are
seeking the admission as representatives of
persons lately engaged in the Rebellion. The
conservative, when this charge is made, can
point to his resolutions and say. "No, am in
favor merely of the admission of loyal men,"
But whom do the conservatives consider to
be loyal men? Do they exclude from
that category those who have Just laid
down the arms of their warfare against the
Government? By no means. The fact that a
man was a Rebel, and bore arms against the
Government is no bar with them to his being
considered a loyal man. The Rebel General
DICK TAYLOR, who so pompously proposed three
cheers for the Union. in the Convention. is, in
their view, 'loyar man. ALEXANDER H. STE
PHENs, who was Vice-President of the Rebel
Confederacy, and who went into the Rebellion
with his eyes open, and with his own Judgment
of its selfish and uuprovoked character on
record, Is 'loyal man.
What, then, do they use this word ''loyalr
for, except as blind and a fraud? They seek
by it to conceal from the people their true pur-
poses. What the conservatives really mean is
to restore to power and to admit as representa-
tives in Congress the very men who were prime
leaders and actors in the Rebellion. And the
people should understand that this is one of
the real issues before them, viz. Whether the
leaders of the Rebellion-men who deserted
their seats in Congress and violated their
oaths of allegiance-ahall be permitted to once
more take seats in the councils of the nation
All this talk of loyal" men by the conserva-
tiVes is a fraud.

has all tlis time been in the Union, in such
sense as 10 entitle her 10 representation II Is
a great perversion of the language OF the CON
stitution to apply Il to cases entirely beyond its
scope.
The resolutions indorse President JoHNsoN's
course, and in SO doing completely stultify the
entire doctrines of the Convention as to states
rights If those doctrines aTe right then the
Presidents whole work of reconstruction has
been wrong The two are utterly incompatible.
The address is very lengthy, elaborate, and
abstruse II is merely a reiteration, or rather
compendium, OF Mr.. RAYMoND's Congressional
sneecbes upon reconstruction. 1t is full of
sophistries and contradictions, and will fail to
make any decided impression upon the people.
II fails utterly and lamentably TO meet the great
practical issues before the people.
The lack of any really great directing and
organizing mind has been most apparent
throughout the whole history Of this Conven-
ton It's leaders have been such men as Doc
LITTLE, CowAN, and RAYMOND, who have hardly
been known in the past and who at the best are
merely clever politicians. Their policy through
out has been one of repression. No man could
DE trusted to make speech, or discuss a resolu-
ton, or make proposition, lest in speaking hts
real sentiments he should say something inju-
dicious. AS a consequence, there has been no
life and enthusiasm abb the movement. 1t
has taken no hold upon the popular mind, and
has failed utterly as popular demonstration.
In the presence Of the grave issues whIoh engage
the attention Of the American people, involving
the fruits OF the long and costly struggle through
which they have Just passed, this Wigwam Con-
vention will create but mOmentary ripple upon
the surface of our politics.

AN INTERESTING PArBn.-Philadelphia is esp,

AN INTERESTING PAPER Philadelphia is espe-
cially fortunate in having weekly paper
combining in such happy manner literary
merit and articles of local interest as Saturday
Night This paper has steadily improved, and
the fashionable gossip" which at first gave it
such notoriety, has been entirely ignored in
its issues for several months past. It is evl,
IDENTIFY the intention of the proprietors to make
their paper power in this city, by strenuously
advocating all municipal reforms, and showing
up all corruption which may exist in our
municipal departments. The issue of this week
is especially interesting, containing, among
many other good articles, an erpose of the High
School management and complete review of
the political movements now going ON in
this city.

The Conyention,s Work.

TIE final action of the Convention which hn.
ished its sessions in this city yesterday, is before
the people in series of resolutions and an
address. The resolutions, in the nam, are such
as men of all political parties would agree to,
and are not distinctive, therefore, of the organi
Zation which has Just adopted them. They
contain, however, some admissions which we
are glad have been put upon record; we refer
especially to the national debt and to slavery.
Upon the subject of Congressional representa-
ton the resolutions beg the entire question at
issue. Nobody, that we are aware OF, denies
that State in full and regular status in the
Union is entitled to representation; but the
question is whether the late Rebel States are in
that condition. For instance here is Texas,
which, ever since the Rebellion was overthrown,
has had no government except that of an agent
Of the President. Can 1t be pretended that she
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-08-17
RetributiOn.

THE old Copperhead faction can read their
doom in the fate OF their leaders In the late
Wigwam Convention. 1t is but little over
year since the war closed, and already they have
become so obnoxious to the people, that in a
Convention where ex-Rebels themselves were
gladly welcomed their representative men were
virtually refused admission. Not even a
Southern delegate raised his voice in their
behalf. They are political lepers - nobody
wants them to come near him.
This is a terrible retribution, but it is a just
one.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-08-17

In ACCORDANCE with the plan inaugurated by
the Wigwam politicians, of withdrawing men of
the VALLANDIGHAM, WooD, and DEAN stripe, we
suppose CLYMER will now have to be withdrawn
in this State as the Democratic candidate for
Governor. Everybody knows that CLYMER be-
longs to the VALLANDIGHAM faction. His record
is quite as bad as that of the Ohio martyr. No
Union man would vote fer him, and unless he
can get support from the Union ranks, he will
be beaten by fifty thousand majority. 4.
