Backing out of 1t.

JUDGE HUGHES, OF Indiana, War Democrat,
and one of the Executive Committee of
JOHNSON Club at Washington, has repudiated
the Philadelphia Convention, on the ground that
the Copperheads have got control of it. He
thus addresses Governor MORTON, of Indiana:-
Governor MoRToN:-The proposed Philadel-
pha Convention tends to the absorption by the
Democratic party of the Conservative Union
men OF the North. l am not at present ready
for such fusion, if 1t is to be. Let the Demo.
cratic party first retire It's antiwar leaders, and
let sufficient time elapse for the grass to grow on
the graves of the heroic dead. For the present
advise all Union men to remain steadtast In their
own organization, hoping that its dssensions
may yet be healed, and to keep aloof from pro-
Oeedings which can only result in the election
OF the regular Democratic ticket in Indiana
l heartily approve OF the Presidents policy, and
regard him personally with esteem and friend
ship, and would cheerfully participate in any
meeting to express appreciation of his measures; I;
but l am not ready to furnish materials to the
radicals by returning to power men who incted
resistance to laws made to fill up the ranks of
the army. 1 speak only. tor myself, and no
other is responsible for this communication.

LoGICAL.-At the Democratic meeting held at
Reading, at which MONTGOMERY BLAIR and G.
Fl. PENDLEToN linked hands, and their follow
eIs huzzahed together we find the following
resolution adopted:-
"ReSotUed That the tariff men Of Pennsylvania
may see by the votes OF SeLators SUMNER aud
WILSON, OF Massachusetts,, and FOSTER, oil Con-
neCticut that the pro essions OF friendship tor
Pennsylvania, by the radicals OF New England,
are as sincere as their professions OF regard tor
the Union OF the States"
JACK BUNsBY" could not have gwen us more
able logic. If three out of twelve Senators vole
for postponement for four months, therefore
the New England States are all false to the
Union. OF course one virtually follows as The
consequence OF the other.
But here is another inference also which might
be drawn. If three Republican Senators, by
voting for postponement, declared themselves
enemies to the interests OF Pennsy lvania, what
do the votes of the Democrats on the same
side evince II Messrs. SUMNER, WILSON, and
FOSTER are our State foes where do Messrs.
DAVIS, DooLIrrLE, GUTHRIE, HENDERSON, HEN
DRICKs, JOHNSON, NEsMIrH, NORTON, BIDDLE,
SALISBURY, and WILEY stand Are not the
whole DemocatlC delegation our foes, and is not
the party they represent?

Another War Pred ,cted.


TIE Winchester (Va.) journal publishes the
report of meeting held in Frederick county to
elect delegates to the Philadelphia Convention.
One of the speakers, Mr.. URIBL WRIGHT said
he was willing to ndorse all the Philadelphia call
but one paragraph, concerning the abandonment
Of the right to secede. To this he objected. II
was not abandoned. He still held 1t as a right,
and he knew that the South held it. Their
opinions were not changed by the adverse results
OF the war, and he was opposed to a wholesale
Endorsement of the call. He was opposed TO
war; but, he asked, what would be the result ii,
in the next Presidential election, the united
votes of the Northern Democrats andthe South
ern States should give majority of the Presi
Dental electors to their canoidates, ana, in the
official count, the Southern States should be
excluded? Then, with the President at our
head, and strong party IN the North to support
us, the case would be diferent-the tables would
be turned. He saw war IN the distance, and
advised 10 be prepared tor it.
