The late Philadelph1a Convention was
for no other purpose under the sun but
to organize IN efibrt tosdefeat tho party
now in power SO rs to change the deter
mination of the Government, and thus
permit the leaders of the rebellion to
hold on to the leadership and the offices.
But the effort to defeat that party now
will prove as fruitless as the late effort
at secession. History furnishes no In
stance wherein = victorious party in war
was soon after defeated at the ballot box.
The determination is firmly planted in
the minds of large majority of the
American people, (outside OF the South
ern States, and that the secession lead
ers must go down, and that they will go
down is as certain as fate. They were
defeated in their war against the Gov
ernment, and they will be as certainly
defeated in their efforts to retain office
and political power.
Under these circumstances what is
the manifest interest and duty of the
Southern people? If they would forsake
the leaders who led them into secession,
rebellion, subjugation and poverty, they
could soon be restored to the favor of the
Government, quiet, harmony, and pros
perity. But if they will still vote for,
and try to uphold and keep in office
their old leaders, measures will be taken
by the Government to put down the
leaders with their supporters. Why
will people close their eyes to facts that
are patent as the MONDAY sun? Are
they blinded that they may be Destroy
ed? 1t has been said somewhere that
"whom the gods intend to destroy, they
first make mad" Are our people mad
that they may be destroyed? II they
would open their eyes, and see where
their present course is carrying them,
they certainly would pause and reflect.
The fall elections at the North, which
begin in September and end in Novem-
Der, will determine whether the party
now in power shall retain it or give it
up. That that party will be sustained
by the Northern ballot-box, there cam
not be a reasonable doubt. If it is sus-
tained,, the people of the South must
drop their secession leaders, or the lead
ers and their supporters will all go down
in pile together.
The people of the South are a subju-
gated people. They have now no power
to dictate terms. They lost that power
when they followed their leaders into
secession, rebellion, and suhjugation.
They can now regain the favor and con-
fidence of the Government only by for
saking those leaders and sustaining at
the ballot-box those only who have been
truly loyal to the Government. When
| Congress meet again in December, some
decisive action will be taken with re-
gard to the late rebel States. They will
not be permitted to lie out in their pres
ent condition. If the people will COM
ply with the requirements of the Gov
errment, and put aside the old secession
leaders, restoration will be easy; but if
they act stubbornly aud defiantly, and
insult the Government again by putting
forward and sustaining by their votes
their old secession leaders, the wrath OF
the Government will certainly be poured
out upon them, and still further ruin
of the South will be the consequence.
The Government of the United States
will control this country, and if the peo-
pie now here will not willingly submit
to that control, they will be punished
for their disobedience to such an extent
as will compel them to yield.
KEEPING Milk AND CREAM SWEET

much expense can have them made al
together Of lumber above ground. The.
would save the expense in year, in tn
preservation of milk, butter, poultry
!. meats, &C., intended either for marke
or home consumption. Where, howev
er, it is inconvenient to have an ice
house, it is good plan to make an exca
walton in the cellar, say four feet by 81,
,, in the clear, and four feet deep; wall u
with brick or plank; put good door up
OH it with small hole (an inch augu
hole) in the top of it for ventilation, an
the temperature will be reduced sewers
degrees, preserving your cream, butte
and meats admirably.
