TRAITORS AID rrrrArs.

Under the .Pelicy of President JoHEsos

highest crime known to the laws and IL
Constitution of the country. Parties notd
rously guilty Of rebellion and treason, VIII

country, and sent thousands of loyal d(toend
to bloody graves, have received pardons ct
the hands of President johnson, in advance
of any prosecution for their crimes. And
not only have they been psrdonAas -
President has become their champion, and

A DEMOCRATIC JUDGE.

gross matter; social convu sions bring out of
obscurity into an infamous conspicuouspess

and morals-leprous spots on the society

South in the person OF Judge Abel. This

been heard OF except as an Obscure lawyer OF
little practice and less talent. On taking bis
seat in the Convention he soon distinguished
himself by systematically oppasing by set

by loyal member without reference TO its

idiosvncrasy. He refused to sign the Free

PHILADELPH1A AND THE CONyEN.
TIOE
The usual almost phlegmatic equanimit,
that characterizes the dwellers in the CITY Of
Brotherly Love, has almost given way under
the pressure of the Convention. The special
to the Chicago Tribune says:
The feeling in the city against the Con.
vention u very strong indeed THOUGH no
violence Is anticipated from any res ,ectable
citizens, still the great influx of rebels soon
after the hutehering OF the, New Orleans
Convention Is the theme OF much discussion
aud excitement.
The police have taken every precantiou
against riot, and State troops are under or
ders for sry emergency.
All the elements that ever hated the Union
party or fought To destroy The Government
are largely represented tonight. and the
Conservatives sandwiched between these two
wings fee that they are IL, an awkward situa-
non unless these extremes can be drawn
off,
II is heavy burden for the true LOYALTY of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania to bear-this
influx into their State in pursuit of political
rule OF the men that few months ago were
on PENNSYLVANIA soil with arms In their hands
under Confederate colors, burning towns and
despotine the citizens. Ye, the party of
! mon, and Loyalty and Liberty are not a
mob part, We hope the Union men of phila.
deiphia viii not follow the Democratic rebel
precedent made at New Orleans. Lei the
Democracy be alone ia their tlislovaIty and
their mol4s-not the Union soldiers nor the
Republican party can afford 10 attempt rivalry
with then, therein.

INDIAN COTTON.

From the Oriental Nondon) Circular April ST.
India, perhaps, more than any other part
Of the world, is fitted 20 supply our markets
with an abundant, good and cheap supply of
cotton. Hitherto the quantity Of this inn
portant staple that has found its way into
Liverpool and our principal ports has dis
appointed the anticipations of those best ac-
quainted with its immense resources and ca
pabiliteS; but when we consider the difficult
ties which had and are still TO be surmount-
ed, We have reason 20 congratulate ourselves
that so much has already been accomplish
ed. glance at the list of countries contri-
huting cotton will show that very consid-
cradle increase has taken place i'm the guam
tity now imported from our eastern empire;
and here We must, in justice, remark that
this result is IN great measure IL not alto
gether attributable 10 the persistent exer-
tons the Cotton Supply Association Of Man
chester have put forth 30 overcome the pre-
judices and natural conservatism Of the ma
tive mind, and TO stimulate both the large
and small proprietors 20 the cultivation Of
the cotton plant, wherever it could be grown
with success. 1t mas now been demonstrated
satisfactorily that the landowners of India
will, as elsewhere, give up the cultureo Of their
accustomed crops where they find il proiita-
bic to do so, and if only the forceof the soil
are seconded by the use of modern agricul
tural, cleansing, and pressing machinery,
and the means of transport improved, we
