me Proposed National Union Convention.
Hon. Joel Parker, one of the most eminent
jurists in this country, and royal professor in
the law school at Hazard University, Cam
bridge, Mass, speaking of the proposed ma
tonal union convention, says:
The people feel that conventions INA.
ti0nal Uaaon COncention"-should be held
It is believed that such ap semblage, prop
erly congregated from all the states of the
Union. comprised entirely of Union men Of
all parties, would work good in the existing
exigencies of the country. But OF what
should such a convention be composed p
This, / apprehend, would prove the most
difficult question to settle If the sole object
thereof was periodically to consider, as the
New York Times says, ''ths changed condi-
tion of public affairs and the necessities of
the country"

Union party as ii Uds, and asat should have

Union sentiment of the entire country, and give
hope to those who, from the best of reasons,
have fears for the republic. In fact such q

success of conservative, constitutional meas

OF that Union for which 80 many brave men
have lately lain down their precious lives
and the nation has expended such untold
wealth.
A convention thus formed, and for such
high purposes would at once attract the earn
