The Radical Press.

The N. Y. Times is down upon what it
calls radical journalism, whose object is to in
tensfy sectional bitterness rather than to pro-
mote sectional harmony-to foster the feel
ings of anger and estrangsment as between
the unionists North and the people of the
South-to aid the purposes of those who
would ride into power on the strength of a
pretended sympathy with the negro, and un-
der the plea of protecting the blacks, would
subject the majority of the whites to insult
the Times read strongly Southern. If they
wsre always as decided in the discussion of
questions of kindred character the weight
of It's utterances would be far more influen-
called forth by the late riotous affair in New
Orleans, which the Times regards as having
been Unexpectedly misrepresented by the
radical press, together with the abuse of
President johnson, and the vile imputations
upon the loyalty and humanity of the people
of Louisiana, for the sole purpose of keeping
the South oat of the Union, and are de-
velopment of the radical policy, and part and
parcel Of thtir system Of tactics which ignores
all manifestations of returning friendship
on the part Of the South Every act Of in
dividual wrong, every local row, and it might
have been added, every exhibition Of red and
white colors in the shape of the Confederate
banner in public Juvenile exhibitions, as in
this city, is magnified into treason and So
called disloyal sentiment, as proof positive of
the necessity of military rule The policy Of
thus pandering to yitiated partisan preju-
dice and reckless determination to msreprs-
sent, is as fully and fairly exposed as if ena-
mating from Southern journal arguing it's
own cause, aud exposing the nakedness and
savageness of radcalism in its foul and trucu-
lent course Of Misrepresentation and apimosi-
mostly.

The "Nati0nap Convention in PhiIa-
delphia-The Obligations OF the Sit
uafiOH.

uatt0H.
We do not wish the perpetuation of old
party names to divide us. The present is no
time for mere party action. The prominent
and foremost object Of the proposed National
Convention, is the representation Of the
South The South is still charged with du-
plicity and insncerty. The assertion has
been made and is reiterated by the Radicals,
that she is more inimical to the Government
than ever. This is the opinion Of HANG EN-
Bolts, and Governor FURIoso HAMILTON who
regard the Convention which assembled in
Philadelphia to-day, as another rebel inva-
sion of the North" Such is the opinion in
substance which has been expressed by the
Tribune. On the other hand, the South de-
MES these assertions as false and without
foundation. 1t therefore becomes her duty
to act with the utmost caution aud the coolest
Judgment and deliberaton.
With the object of securing such a repre-
sentation in view, the Central Committee have
appointed men who have become convinced
of the absolute necessity Of accepting the re-
suits of the war without hesitation or mental
reservation Such men are alone fitted to
act with the conservative men of the North,
by whose aid only can we ever hope to effect
an organization to act successfully against
Radicalism. The South is still charged with
'fdisloyalty" by her enemies who seek to de-
grade her by the abomnation of a ''test oath, y
bar IF bar oh fha
Union" Let her representatives in the
Convention give the lie to this unfounded al
legation, and show to the whole people that
they are ready to cooperate in good faith with
those who have taken the initiative in this
step, designed to carry out the policy OF Pres
ident JOHNSON, in securing to the Southern
States their legitimate rights and representa-
ton in common Government
By Incorporate action on CIR part, the
hands of common enemy will be strength
ened, and the rigorous and exclusive measures
against which the conservative element Of the
North protests-as in the speeches and letters
at Tammany Hall on the 4th July-will be
given color of reason which will emboldsn
our enemies to still more stringent action and
prolong indefinitely our present anomalous
political position.
1t is entirely within our power to act with
prudence, and every consideration of policy
and duty counsels every exercise of this vir
tue in the present crisis. If its opposite be
suffered to enter the Convention by our act,
we simply stultify ourselves, and would give
indisputabe proof that we were neither earn
est nor honest in favorng Convention, where
prudence and discretion are essential to effect
cooperation with friendly element against
what is regarded by it and by ourselves as
common enemy to the harmony and peace Of
the country.
In accordance with the views we have pre-
sented the Charleston Courier, commenting
on Governor Oars address, says sit is pro-
per that delegates, fresh from the people,
should meet in conference, and buryins all
present issues, should like a moral power,
sweep the country in favor of harmony aud
of a restoration, in spirit ana truth

answers to certain specific interrogatories in
regard to the origin and extent Of the late
riot at New Orleans the whole eorrespon-

to the public. 1t will then appear that the
charge Of the Radical press that Sheridan's
dispatches have been garblsd is wholly un-
founded. % ~
