We first make an extract fromsthe
Louisville Courier, one of the most
bitter of the rebel papers. It1is, the
leading organ of theeDUvALL party in
Kentucky; and it will be remembered,
during the canvass, threatened topub-
lish the name of every Louisville
merchant who should vote for Gen.

THE PHILADELPHIA, n CONVENTION
THE TRIUMPH OF CONSERVATISM. cas-
We laid before1our readers yester-a
day the platform of principles adopt
ed by the Philadelphia Convention.
1t Is clearly expressed and wears no
double face.olt is moderate : in its
tone at the same time that tits decid-s
ed in its utteranees, and so far as we
can judge fromthe telegraphic synop4
sis, unobjectionable in the PROPOSE
tions italays doWn.ualIt is remarkable
that5such a platform could have been
agreed upon with so much unanimity
bya Convention constituted as this
was Men from every section of the
Union. 6 They were all friends Of the
President and. his policy, and upon
the pointd of affinity alone they were
drawn togetheHm They have in their
action displayed an amount of. con-
servatism truly wonderfully In view of
all the circumstances 5by,which they
were surrounded. 81 They evinced,
from the inception of the proceedings
to the close of the Convention, an
earnest desire to opresent such an aexz
ample of harmonious action as the
masses whom they represented would
desire to emulate. .-...sgy =
The first duty of the people-their
great and imperative duty-is to drive t
from the halls of legislation the un-s
principled fanatics whoiconstitute the
present Congress, and put in their
places friends of the Union and the
Constitution. When that is accom-
plished, it will be time enough to
split up into parties and factions Ipon
questions of minor Importance. The
harmony, peace, welfare, and prosper
ity OF. the country all demand that the
action of the Philadelphia Convention
shalllfeceive the hearty approval and
the enthusiastic support Of all conser-
vative men. 1.-The salvation of ythe
country, the restoration of the States,
the establishment Of harmony and
order, oand the maintenance of the
Constitution, all depend now upon a
united and patriotic effort on the part
of ali conservative men. m&a 9nl

The news from Kentucky and Ar
kansas is cheering indeed. That man
must be an Ishmaelite who can feel
or express any regret about the late
elections in those States. These
prove, beyond all doubt, that the
