The Cali for . National Union Convcn-
tion 1t Philadelphia.
A few days ago We published q call for q
National Convention, to be held at Philadel-
phia on the 14th Of August. This call is signed
by Senators Doolittle, Cowan, Dixon, Hen
bricks, Nesmith and Norton; by Assistant
Postmaster General Randall, and by ex-senator
Browning, of Illinois, These names give It
certain Significance and Importance. The plan
proposed is 10 assemble delegates from all the
thirty-six States and nine Territories. The OBJ
ject Is to hold counsel together, as friends and
brothers, upon the present condition of our ma
tional affairs, and TO take measures to avert
poss BILE dangers from the country.
The principles which the delegates are to in
dorse are explicitly stated. They affirm the
pcrpetuity OF the Union, the equality Of the
States and the abolition of slavery, and insist
upon the constitutional right OF the South 10
immediate representation in Congress. As the
delegates are to subscribe to this platform,
and to be chosen by electors Of the same
faith, there is no danger that the con-
vcntion will fall into the hands of
Southern frc-eaters. They, as well as
the radicals, are distinctly excluded. Obv.
ously, the intention of the trainers of the call is
not to rebuild the theories shattered by the
cannon Of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, but
to eject a union between the conservative re-
pubicans and the more advanced and patriotic
wing Of the democracy in support of President
Johns and against the radicals. That such a
union is consummation devoutly to be wished
cannot be denied. If it bad been secured In
Congress at the opening Of the session the
radicals, as We have previously shown, would
have been comparatively powerless and harm
less II failed Of accomplishment there
because of the incompetcncy Of the leaders on
both sides, and especially Of Messrs. Brooks
and Raymond, in the House; and this move
ment for national convention seems to be an
effort on the part Of democratic and con-
servatve republican Senators TO retrieve the
