The Philadelphia Convention

The Tribune of Saturday says: The
Convention which will be organized on
Monday in Philadelphia was called be en-
inent, fre-tried Southern Unionists, and
originally contemplated gathering of del
egates from the South only. 1t was called
to meet in Philadelphia because (as The
National LtelHgencer truly ayerred) such
a Convention would not be permitted to
deliberate in any Southern City. In many
localities which will be represented, dele
gates have been chosen secretly, because
publicly advertised meetings to choose
them would have been broken up by vio-
lence as the Constitutional Convention OF
Louisiana was on the 3Oth of July. The
"Border States" of other days have sent
large and able delegations; and it is prob
able that each of the fifteen ex-Slave States
will have representatives present.
1t having been suggested that delega-
tions from the old Free States, commits,
stoned to convey to the hunted, stricken
Ioyalists of the South assurances of North

The Point of the Matter.

The leading proposition on which this
conspiracy against the country is to be con-
Quoted, is the monstrous absurdity that the
rebel States have an inherent, continuous,
unconditional, constitutional right to form
part Of the Federal Government, when
they have once acknowledged the fact of
the defeat of their inhabitants, in an armed
attempt to overthrow and subject it,-a
proposition which implies that victory par
alvzes the power of the victors, that ruin
begins when success is assured, that the
only effect of beating a Southern rebel in
the field is to exalt him into a maker OF
laws for his antagonist." ."-AHantic Month
