Significant.

We said some time ago that only a
certain element of Southern sentiment
was invited to the Philadelphia Con-
vention. We also divided the politi-
cal elements of the country into three
classifications. That we we're correct
in saying which one of those was inyit-
ed to the Convention, read the ,arti-
Gle below. We are still surprised
that so much enthusiasm has been ex-
hibited by our ablest men to enter
that Convention. We shall soon see
who has the right view of the subject.
Some of the secession papers are con-
graduating themselves on the fact
that Hamilton Fish, John A. Dix,
and other loyal men of New York, are
taking steps to be represented in the
Philadelphia Convention. TO show
the basis on which these gentlemen
are acting we quote as follows from
their call for n meeting to appoint
delegates: .1 "a" g
Dy tne language and spirit OF the
cali, it will be perceived that those
who refused their support to the Gov
ernment in putting down the rebellion,
and those who approve of the action of
Congress in keeping loyal Representa-
tlves out of their seats, and loyal
States out ofthe Umion, are excluded
from the invitation, and are not cx-
pected to participate in the prelimi-
nary meetings, or to take seats in the
Convention" ,a 3
The meaning of which is, that no
radical, so-callcd, will be admitted,
and no man from the South will be
admitted '0ho refused his support 10 he
