THE NATIONAL CONVENTION

On our first page will be found the
call for National Union Convention
to be held at Philadelphia, on the 14th
of August next; and in another column
we publish also the endorsement OF the
same by the Democratic members OF
Congress generally. We are glad to
see Democrats approve of this Conven-
tion and we trust they will recognize 1T
as step necessary to draw together,
and unite in the coming elections, all
who are opposed to the desperate and
dangerous policy of the Radicals. Had
the political parties and factions opposed
to the Republicans in 1860 been united
our country could have been saved from
the awful calamities it has since suf-
fered. Should every thingnow opposed
to the radical Republicans be united for
the future the country may be rescued,
from still greater calamities.
There is one feature in this Conyen-
ton which is very important 1t gives
to the people of the South the first
chance to meet their brethren of the
North, and participate in great DELHI
eratiye assemblage. They have been
spurned by Congress, and denied the
opportunity to make known their true
sentiments, orto have a voice in making
the laws that govern them. We hope
to see them represented in this conven-
ton, and believe they will put to shame
their opponents who still doubt their
loyalty.
We observe with pleasure that they
approve the Convention and will send
delegates.

call it the battle Of Custozza.
