ANOTHER CIVIL WAR THREATENED,

There has recently been in session, IN
Philadelphia, conv entlon composed OF Il
few ex-rebels from the south a few renegade
Yankees who really belong north, but who,
for party purposes, hail from southern states
a few negroes, mulattos and strong-mlnded
women, and a few disunion northern radl-
Gals. This mulatto concern calls itself the
Southern loyal convention" but it was re-
ally two conventions, for what few scattering
delegates there were from southern states
never met in convention with the northern
disun1onists at all. The only union was tie
reunion of negroes and whites. They claim
ed the right to speak. They did speak, and
confusion, discord and separation were the
result This is the way the members OF the
disunion mulatto party try to unite-and this
ia the way they fail to restore the Union
The northern disuniOnists met in one part OF
the city-the southern in another,-a they
were as wide apart upon principle as in their
meetings.
Contrast this with the convention of Ma
tonal Union men, which met in Philadelphia
q short time prevlous-not southern conven
ton, or northern convention. but a Nation
al Union convention, where delegates from
every state and every congressional district
in che United States met and we're united,
harmonious and patriotic; sending out dec
larstion of principles and address, TO
which no patriotic man can object, and then
harmoniouHly adjourning and going home to
work for the restoration of the Union.
The National Union people utterly ignore
and repudiase ell parties and come together
on new platform, with no earthly object in
view but an Immediate restoration OF the
Union, and peace and prosperity throughout
the entire length and breadth Of che land.
The radicals seek only to keep the Union
divided for the benefit Of their party.
With the one, patriotism, love of country
and of our whole country is the ruling OBJ
Iceland party names and party politics are
thrown to the dogs.
With the other, rancorous hate, rsvengeful
prosecutions, and party supremacy is the on
ly object, -and for this they would keep the
Union divided and destroy the harmony and
prosperity of the country.
The voters must choose which Of thsse set
of men and principles to support.
The one is represented by President John.

Farragut, the army and navy, the Nationa a.
Union and the conservative democratic can

The other by Stevens, Sumner, Yates

Sustain the President and his policy, and
peace prosperity and Union will follow.
