COMPENSATION Thenatilral anxiet amongst
all paroles to have the Union restored, the
engrossing interests of business now peace
pie in their placable good nature to believe
| in and hope for the best, enable the friends,
| advocates and apologists of the rebels to
| sophistically and .plausibly conceal the fact
that their, reasonable, sectional, and disloya1
passions are still ready to show themselves
on all occasions, and that they have by no
means abandoned their ipveterate antagonlsm

| But this peril is averted from time to time,
| in accordance with the old adage, Whom
the gods mean to destroy they first make
mad" Taking advantage of the partial-
ties shown them, by the Executive and the
| jesuitical encouragement of Northern Cop
perheads, the secessionists are quick to ex-
hibit their hatred of free institutions and
| their despotic and lawless temper in out
breaks of violence and in the bloody despo-
tism of lynch law This opens the half
closed eyes of all loyal people, and enables
them to see that the surrender of Lee did not
end the conflict, and that more must be done
to secure the fruits of the victory over insur-
rection, if the nation as a Republic is to be
SAFE wel-ordered, and prosperous
A noticeable proof of this fact is found in
the comments made in several journals upon
the murderous riot in New Orleans. These
journals, of late quite conservative in tone and
almost ready to advocate putting the sece-
ded States into practical relations with the
Federal Government, just as they are. are
alarmed by the new exhibition Of the ruling
spirit which in that case would control the
South, and they are Outspoken and decided
in favor of measures which shall dethroneit.
They see that free speech, a free press, and
free political action are not yet tolerated by
the conquered rebels, and that these must be
secured before the fight will be finished
The New Orleans massacre may thus, though
a terrible evil, do much to ward off calami
ties that would be infinitely greater.-BoSton

THE New ORLEANS MASSACRE
Every new fact aggravates the enor-
nifty of the massacre of the loyal men
Of New Orleans. No single extenua-
ting circumstance is given to mitigate
the fiendishness of the affair. The plot
was deliberately entered into, and was
carried through as planned, with
tierceness and mercilessness fully equal
ling the horrors of Memphis and Fort
Pillow. As there, ''no quarter was
given. Those who proffered ''surren-
der" were shot, and those who, unarm-
ed, sought to escape, were butchered.
These horrors cannot be yelled by
the fimsy apology that the Convention
was an 'sillegal assembly, The law
defines the character of such an assem-
bly,, and the mode by which it may be
legally dispersed and its members pun
1shed, if guilty of any covert act"
But cold-blooded murder is not one of
the defined modes, nor is a mob one of
the agencies to be employed.
Whether the Convention was lawful
or ''unlawful," the massacre was piece
of rebel inhumanity which should SUBJ
ject all who participated in it to the
most condign punishment.
Some facts in addition to those al
ready published are communicated by
the New Orleans correspondence of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and will be found in
another column.-Alboey -Eceuing

CURE FOR RHEUnlATIsM.-Maior J. M.
McCue, communicates cure for the Rheu-
matisrn, that has been used with remarkable
success. It seems that Mr.. Frances Few, of
Dayton, Rockingham county, saw the adver-
tisement in Nova Scotia paper and sent for
the remedy. It is simply a tablespoonful of
the juice Of the lensen taken every hour in the
day, until benefit IS derived from it, 1t pro-
duces profirse perspiration in few hours,
and Mr.. Few got we'll. Others are using it
successfully, some adding sugar, water, &C.,
to remove the sharp accidity.

ADr. Fekete has been arrested in New
Orleans and held in $4,000 bail, on the
charge of causing the death of little girl
and boy, who, suffering from chills and fever,
medicine he administered to them. After
the little girl had died, when the medicine
given to her was prescribed for her brother,
he said, {. Uncle, don't want to take that
medicine it killed sissy, and it will kill nfe.''
"Oh, no,r was responded, {" It was not the
medicine that killed your sister" The little
fellow replied, :. May be not, but wish you
would let me see my pony before take it.
because don't believe Twill ever see him
again" He was shown the pony, took the
medicine, and in one hour afterwards was
corpse.

ONE RENEGADE is WORSE THAN TEN
TURKS" The Editors of the Wilmington
Dispatch says, although they were q original
secessionists," they prefer Gov. Worth to
Gen. Ransom or Gen. Cox. The Governor
is an apt scholar. Although he has been at
the secession school only about ten months,
he has taken the prize from scholars who en-
tered years ago.

The Philadelphia Convention.

This body will meet in Philadelphia on
the 18th inst. With Mr. Seward we hold
THAT the people have right to assemble,
discuss public affairs, and petition or memo
rialize the Congress After the Congress
acts, however, it is the duty of every good
citizen to submit to it's action. Co.,.
We trust the Philadelphia Convention will
not be molested. We depreeate violence
and bloodshed, no matter from what quarter
or cause.
The Albany Erening Journal, 3 moderate
Republican paper. says
I'VE are glad, however, to see the sensf-
tiveness of these Philadelphia gentlemen in
regard to their associates. 1t Is a good sign
so far as it goes and If 1T is carried to ats
legitimate conclnsion- good 0ssy come from 1t.
Because, IF Anti-War Democrats are to be
cast out as evil rebels certainly must be.
And II the wish Is to compact the real Union
party, platform will be adopted to accom-
plish this result. And ct as possible to agree
apon seech q platforas. We could draw one,
and use no single sentence that has not been
spoken by the President himself If we
should make any modification whatever in
his declared principles, it would only he to
render them less i" Radical for we never
favored either general hanging or indiscrim-
mate confscation.
Our platform would be
1. Security for the fature-te be guaran-
teed by faithful execution of and submits
sion to the Civil Rights and Freedmen's Ru-
reau laws,
2: Adoption of the proposed amendment
of the Constitution.
8. The immediate admission to their seats
in Congress of all loyal men who can take
the test oath !; and
A. The recognition of the right of every
State to regulate the question OF suffrage in
its own way.
IF the Philadelphia Pilgrims will give US
some such platform as this, a great many
will go to- Philadelphia-nextt time. Such a
platform, with conservative and Execu-
tive endorsement, would carry every thing
before it-as it will, whether it has such en-
dorsement or not.'
To which the New York Times, which
favors the Convention, replies:
1--WE can assent to his platform most
heartily There is nothing in it we have not
repeatedly avowed and advocated"
