pay the Rebel debt; 3d. thst The National debt must
perorce be paid 4h that Slavery in name Is dead De-
yond recall; 9Th, that Mr. JohnsoSs deserves
approval because be is the enemy of the Radicals.
Here in simple and barren terms is the sum of What
the Richmond people call accepting the situation"
If they have offered any other genuine coin Of con.
cession that will pass current we should like TO
know it. In q word, they glory in all wrongs, aud
demand all rights.
The Richmond Enquirer is astonished to hear the de-
caration of Mr. Cowan that the resolves were passed
by unanimous vote 1--WE protest in the name Of
our people that they be considered no unanimous
rOte" Add nothing to the " situation as already
described, and The Enquirer willing TO cooperate in
the restoration and vndication Of the Constitution
against the Radicals, Of course The Examiner de-
MES more boldly thatthe platform is in any just
a national one and regrets that the right kind Of
delegates were not sent to the Convention, aud that
the South has once more been let out in the eold."
The Times says that the delegates requested to
swallow resolutions that must have tasted pleasant
as mixture of gall, SIENNA and NORWOOD" Tie Pc
rsJrg Express says that the resolves permitted
to pass BY default Of the Southern members" The
Wilmington Dispatch processes its contempt for the
War Democrats who sat in the Convention, and calls
Mr. Raymond trimmer" The Richmond Enquirer
again blanes the Southern delegates for "sanctionns
the consttutionality of the coercion OF State Tho
PqLeigh Progress continues: The most Gov. Gra-
ham and others from this State could do was to protest
against the introduction Of the subject" The Char
lotesric Chronicle ironically says that Virginia ia
willing to "hob.nob with Mr. Randall or Mr.. Brown
ing" to thank the Northern soldiers for shooting her
children and striking her to the ground" The Ners Of
this city which is as much PRIVILEGED TO speak for
bellion as any other Rebel organ declares that tho
South obtained too little in the Convention; that it
was the slave Of expedicncy," and that the South,
furthermore, should have sent its rOmeH whose
courage never filtered" The opinion of The Ners
is backed by the mass Of Rebel sentiment month
ago sampled and predicted in this fragment from Ths
AUGUSTA ConsiitntiOnaIiSt:
Gentlemen of the country press tbs Convention depend
upon IT, Is a and sham. Remember now Tor a lew
people be seduced into further indecent and useless com
pa1ces. You asked to accept ne hd'hel sfaoi0n AZ
n mot Situation brmfn and running with injustice Of
oppression and Of fsud Accept the situation indeed,
BIZ inches ia bis coli You kHov you don't accept IT,
We suppose they DO know that they never did, and
never could accept ii in hearty good faith. The Con-
yention resolves were the mildest version OF ths
situation" that any body Of Northern men could
offer, and that any corresponding body of Southern
men could receive If those resolves based on tho
part of their makers to the very kneepinch OF genu-
aexion are not satisfactory what is to be accepted
There il no doctrine of the Constitution over
which the still Rebel South is not ready to quar-
rel and litigate; no law Of Congress which
it does not conemn aud evade; not one of the Presi-
dents high executive measures which it does not
practically 20 back upon. One thing alone the South
is willing to acknowledge, namely, that it is beaten,
aud that by consequence its prime institution is de-
stroyed. One other thing reasserts in all its new
found zeal for the Constituencies reSurrected, re-
yiyifed doctrine of State Rights. One thing more ia
heartily accepted, as prerequisite to the MONACO
ceptance of anything else. We mean the policy OK
