A Convention of Equals.

Every now and then some citizen Of a South.
eIn State publishes a long letter to his fellow.
country en- advising tOem to bear themselves
more modestlY and humby in the presence OF
the victorious North. We have now before us
very long letter from one OF these meek gentle
men, wherein he counsels the people OF Mssls-
sIppl to instruct their delegates to the Phila.
delpha Convention to appear in that body as
''suitors" modestly seeking nothing but "the
enforcement ot the right OF representations
and observing on all other questions an attitude
OF strict neutrality.
kIom all such advice we earnestly dissent.
The delegates II ON the Southern Stares ought not
to enter the convention as 'sultors," bat as free
citizens OF our common republic, claiming to be
and beng the peers Of tner ielloW-drlegates
from the North. 1t Is as such that they have
been invited TO come. 1t Is only as such that
they can honorably enter the Convention No
Northern deleeate will go into that Convention
expecting or wishing the Southerners to meet
him as sur pl ants, or Otherwise than as equals
aud upon terms OF perfect equality.
The Convent on has not been called for the
exclusive benedl OF the South, but or the com
mon beueht of North and South-ot the whole
country. To be sure, the immediate object OF
the Conventlon-the restoration 10 the Southern
States OF their Constitutional rights apparently
concerns those States alone, but II really con
Germs the North Just as nearly, tor 1t Is only
through the enforcement OF the Just ella ms Of
the South 10 a Anticipation in the Government,
that the Conservatives oil the North can hope to
acquire sufficient strength to resist the revolu.

Gals. The enforcement OF the right OF the
Southern States to participate in the next
Presidential election is Just as lmpoIt tant 10
the cons rvative eeople OF the NOr,h as it Is TO
the people OF tie South, and he err5 who THINKS
that the earnestness with which the conserva

The London Reform Demonstration.

From the 1rIOune.
When the MoraUidn left with the mails of the
25th ult., the all-absorbing topic of public dis
cussion in England was the Reform demonstra-
ton which took place in London on the 23d of
the month and the deplorable occurrences con-
nected Herewith, resulting from the Unwar.
ran' able interference of the Government with
the proposed meeting in Hyde Park. IT PROOF
was wanting that Tory Government is an
anachronism in English politics at the present
PERIOD, it would be supplied by the events In
question. The very first act OF the Derby MINIS
try on succeeding 10 Office is to make an a,tacG
on popular Iights-is to provoke a collision be-
tween the crown and the people. 1t is by no
means difficult to understand the motives which
prompted that attack. During the late de.
bates in the House Ot Commons on the Re-
form question, the Tories insisted that the
people of England were perfectly iu-
different about an extension of the
suffrage, ana that the agitation o that matter was
purely the work OF GgitatoIs and demagogues,
got up to subserVe unworthy party PURPOSES
The people, it wa, contended, are we'll content
with things as they are. ENGLAND, 1t was argued,
enjoys an unprecedented measure OF material
prosperity. Bread is abundant tea and sugar
are cheap here Is plenty OF employment ior
the laboring classes, and no END of Gho IS Tor
the diversion OF the masses. Whist more then,
ii was asked, can the people want? In compa
rison with substantial comforts, political rights
are chimera, and the people, convinced ofthis
care nothing about Parliamentary Reform
Holding such views, it must nave greatly sur
prised and chagrned the new Adm MIST at on

Liberal Ministry, that the people really do care
about the Franchise, and are In good earnest il
