Our intelligence from all the coun.
ties in the District is, that there will
be a very large attendance at the Con
Vention on the 18th inst.s TO nominate
candidate for Congress Itpromises
totbe the largest assembly Of the kind
ever convened in this District, We
hear from Knex, Davies, and the
other. counties in the upper part, that
there will be large and infuentialdel77
egations, and we are satisfied that the
people everywhere are sufficiently
awake to the Importance of a good
representation.
We are highly gratifed to inform
our readers that the attendance of
distinguished speakers will be numer
Gus. Besides all the public men of
the District, we have the positive as
surance that General NATHAN KIM
BALL, Hon. NELSON TKUsLER, .Secre-
tary of State, DELANo E. WILLIAM
SON, Attorney General, and Hon.
THos. B. McCARTY, Auditor of State,
will be present. Gen. CKIMBALL, the

rive on the 18th inst, andhe and Col.
G. M. ALLEN will address the people

hope, in view of the Importance of
having all parts of the District fully
consulted in the selection of our can
didate, and with the unusual attrac-
ton of such an array of distinguished
speakers, the delegations from all the
counties will be large. Let us com

Rebel Endorsement Of the COnser.
: -. HatiYe Convention.

The g National Conservative Con-
ventiOn which has been called by
Messrs. CowAN, DooMTTLE & Co., to
meet at Baltimore on the second
Thursday Of August, is appreciated in
secession quarters. The Memphis
Aralanche bursts into typographical
transports, which we reproduce-capi-
tails, EXPLANATIONS points and all:
Ar LAST AT LAsTl Light is beaming
once more-light from the rising sun of
liberty The pcopEe-the people of all the
States-North, South, East and West, are
soon to be heard in an old fashioned peoples
convention. Two months ago we urged
this upon the citizens of the North as the
frst step from redeeming the land from
fanaticism. We urged it because the South
could be heard no where else and in no
other way. She had no voice in Congress.
It is fortunate she had not. The treatment
she has met at the hands of the Radicals
has aroused throughout the land a deter
mined spirit of justice to our people and
their rights, which will triumph in the
end. We invoke the concurrence of our
city papers. Not one responded. The peo-
pie are about moving, and the idea will be-
come immensely popular. Well we can
but rejoice at 1t. Thank Heaven the peo-
p are moving. We have anxiously watt
ed 70 this s. moving of the deep" and it
has come at last. Now, let all row together,
for common end as q common good.
1t will be seen that the AGA 'onche
claims that the Northern Conserva-
tives are only carrying out what it
has long advised The loyal people
of the North will agree W tn the ultra
rebel journal, that the Con5erva-
tives' are doing its work, though
they will not share in its admiration.

Democracy i'm the Second Dlstfict.

The Cincinnati C0namercial, of Sa-
turday last, contains a full report of
the recent cDemecraticI Convention,
held in the city of New Albany, in
Guiding the very long speech of Dan.
w. Voorhees,, POLITICALLY known as
" the tall Sycamore from the Wa
bash The most remarkable feature
about this convention is that the re-
solutions semphatically declare that
the recent war, to crush the military
power of the rebellion, was Just and
necessary. In this the Democracy
of the Second Congressional Dis
trict take direct issue with the Indi-
annapolis Herald and hree-fourths of
the Democratic papers in the State.
tits manifestation of a recognition
of the dangers that beset their party,
even in that stronghold, that must be
very encouraging to the Union men of
that district. Not only were the re-
solutions decidedly different from
those usually adopted by Democratic
conventions, but, if we may credit the
Commercial, Mr.. Voorhees,, himself,
had "a bride put on his tongue, and
was compelled to show off his parts in
an entirely different gait from that he
has generally assumed on such occa-
sions. The Commercial says he APP
peared in his great character of. rea-
soner and patriot, and about the
harshest language he used was regard
ing certain of our brethren in the
South, whom he called Southern
traitors. We have not read the
speech but can hardly credit The
Commercial, that Dan. spoke of his
distinguished brethren in the South
as Southern traitors. " "Ettu Brute
said the great Caesar, and expired.
Voorhees, words, no doubt, will prove
as cutting as the dagger of Brutus.
The South can hardly fail to regard
them as the last unkindest cut of all.
The Democracy may hope to be
successful by declaring in one district
that the war wasrr'si unnecessary and
unjust" and in another district the
opposite; they may expect to deceive
the people by having some of their
papers denoancing allthe acts Of the
Government for the suppression of
] the rebellion as SO many acts of des-
potism, and others to indorse all that
has been done, even to the abolition
of slavery and the adoption of the
Constitutional Amendment, but we
apprehend their hopes will meet with
great disappointment The people
now look over the whole field. In.
former times when railroads and tele-
graphs were scarce or unknow1, that
party succeeded by that kind of tao
tics. The same game cannot be sue
cessfully played now. To attempt it is
but to intensity the contempt in which
that party is already held by a large
majority of the loyal citizens Of the
country.
