FOR TIE NEWS.
A Suggestion.

Every District except two, we be-
lieve, was represented in the Colum-
bia Convention the State was fully
represented in the Philadelphia Con-
vention these Conventions have as
semblcd and adjourned. So the pa
pcrs say.
Many persons, some of them men of
sense, think that the action of the
Philadelphia Convention will do good.
But if the Radical papers can publish
extracts from a Southern paper here
and there showing that the South re-
pudiate the action of that Convention,
no good can be done. 1t will be assum-
cd that these papers, although in fact
they may be exceptional cases repro
sent not only their localities, but their
States.
Can not papers keep silent, and cx-
crcisc little prudence for their coun-
try's good Where a District after
full and fair discussion has decided
upon line of policy, has an editor
the right to place the District in a
false position? 1t will be assumed
that papers represent the sentiment of
their Districts. We know that this is
not correct, yet such is always the as
sumption.
We know how powerful pride of
opinion is and at the same time we
know that it is possible for any man,
editor or not, to be mistaken.
We beg those who arc not response
bic for tho State being represented in
the Philadelphia Convention, not to
become responsible for the guilt of
defeating the good results that may be
produced by that Convention.

"a Suggestion"

The insinuations of "Policy" are
wholly gratuitous. He has been anti
cipatcd, he might have seen, by our
last issue in which VIC said "with this
erpose we are done ;"-that is we arc
done with objections. Besides we
have no controversy with those We op-
pose in opinion, and mean to have none.
The whole matter resolves itself SIM
ply into this. We told our opponents
they would be disappointed. Many
have confessed it. We simply gave
their confessions. SO ."Policy" need
not shake his disappointed head at US
and say we did it. If pride of opin-
ion keeps him "of the same opin-
ion STILL" he must beware not to
throw stones. We have done lust
what his allies have done-endorscd
the good, ignored the bad. Can can
dor, can Justice, can any man with a
particle of libcrality in his soul OBJ
jcct to that? McG.

Ring Of the True Metal.

If President JOHNSON adopts
the course indicated below, and by
''prompt, vigorous and decisive ac-
tion," shows his hand, we too will re-
gard the Convention a success, for we
will consider it as the spring of en-
couragement and action to him.
McC.
The New York Ne,Os, of Saturday,
says:
Let the President strike the opposi-
tion when and where he can. And
first, let him GUST every radical Office
holder that depends upon the Federal
patronage. Not a man of them should
be retained in any Office over which
the Executive authority has control.
That done, let him take measures to
protect the Southern members of Con-
gress in their seats at the next session.
He has declared that they have the
right to be there, and he should pro-
tect them in that right. The emer-
gency calls for prompt, vigorous and
decisive action, and every blow dealt
by the Executive hand will be an in.
