the following specimen Of boasting with
which he humbugged the Yankees of flynn

TIE NV Orleans Riots1A pea IN E1-
tenuation

SCAAb1SS0Ah 800
The Radical papers clsim that the ne
rroes and their associates In New Orleans
had q RICH, to assemble and attempt to
force negro suffrage upon the people oil
Louisiana that their proceedings, If not
according to law, would not have been
binding; and thcy employ many other
arguments, all based upon the assumption
that no harm could have resulted from tic
nets, una authorized though they We're oil
the bogus Convention.
Now, we are rs much opposed to mob
law and to riots as any one. We have no.
thing to say in their favor. But if ever
there was good reason for a resort to force
to prevent an unlawful assemblage, the
people of New Orleans had it. If they
had had any reason to believe that Con
grcss would be governed by q regard for
constitutions or laws, they would have al
lowed the negro Convention to meet and
palaver at will. But with the example o!
the illegal Tennessee ratification of the
constitutional amendment before them,
they were compelled to believe that if the
Convention even pretended to ratify the
amendment, Congress would recognize the
validity of the proceeding. 1t was thi:
fear, no doubt, that caused the New Or.
leans riots-an utter want of confidence
in the honesty of Congress-a conviction
that that body would assist the Conven,
~tionists in pcrpctrating any wrong, how
ever gross, upon the Louisiana rebels
They regarded it as really a question o.
life and death. They felt that there wa:
no hope for them if they allowed the Con
~vcntion to 60 through even the meres'
form of ratification.

Our friend of the Lynchburg Republican
says he opposed breaking with the
douglas party in lSGO because he de-
">ired the continued unity and success of
"tle National Democratic party. We
"think the identical same reasons are now
good for the admission of Mr.. EALLAS-
"DIGHAM to the Philadelphia Convention,
"bccausc it is the object OF that Conven-
"tion to unite in one great party all con-
"scrvatives who sustain the President, and
" that Mr.. VALLANDIGHA4 s~ustains him is
"denied by none."
But the real Simou-Purc Democracy of
the North were then just as much opposed
to DOUGLAS as they now are 10 the RAY
MoNps and DooLITTLEs. DOUGLAS was q
" squatter- sovereignty" candidate. The
genuine Democrats therefore opposed
him. You were opposed to squatter sove-
reignty, yet you supported DorGLAs. Now
the point is that you are not willing to con-
cede something to the almost unanimous
feeling of the Northern people, which puts
VALLANDIGHAM under the ban. In q
word, you prefer defeat with VALLANDlG-
HAM to success with Conservative Republi-
c~ans-dcfcat, with the untold horrors
which are bound to follow the success of
the Radicals in the presidential election.
We honor VALLAND1GHAM's manliness, but
VIC should think better of him if he would
stay away from Philadelphia, knowing, as
he does, that his unpopularity will damage
the Convention and diminish its power to
stay the tide Of radicalism.

Prussia and Italy on the one side, and
Austria on the other, it is stipulated that
Austria, besides ~rcsigning all right to the
dcspoilcd provinces of Denmark, makes a
quit claim of her right to Nenctia. How
does this operate Does it deprive France
OF the right and authority of Ncnctia under
the deed of gift by FRANCIS JOSEPH! Ifso,
the "great days work" at Paris and
Amicns of the Emperor and ErGENIE
comes to nought. The clause in the terms
appears to intimate that Prussia and Italy
consider that Austria had no power to ccdc
or rctrocedc Vcnetia to France. NAPOLEON
will have some embarrassment in that case.
He was evidently greatly elated at the
gift ; and his great uncle having coded ii
to Austria, he may derive some especial
delight in having ii under his control now.
