"Of the one hundred passengers on the

harmed. There seems TO be little room for
doubt that this terrible disaster wAs deliber.

The Philadelphia Convention.


The y. Y. Tribune says of the
Philadelphia convention hat at
least half were rebel sympathisers or
copperheads during the war. a third
were practical rebels ana sixth
traitors to the union party for small
offices. The Tribune SAYS also that
none were excluded but Ben Wood
Nallandigham and Dean-these only
for not having gone the whole hog
into the rebel army. Their sin was
for using their jaws for the rebel
cause instead of their swords-in fir
ing in the rear of the union army in
stead of going TO the rebel front and
shooting nj the faces OF our soldiers.
The IrjbWe gives the political an
tccedents Of every member in the
Philadel phia convention. and after
all the dr~mming up by office tenders
but sixth of that assemblage we're
ever supporters Of Lincoln and john
son and the war for the union. the
hVe-slNths beng engaged mt either
firing the southern heart or else fir
ing at the union soldiers.
The IrbHne presumes that a con
siderable part of the sixth noted IA
formerly union men were but con
tinuous voters of the war failure
citing Montgomery Of Wisconsin,
am the instances.
The leaders, Doolittle, Randall.
Cowan and Raymond-formerly Re
publicans. are set down as largely
over-rated in intellect, in cunning
greatly moderated, and il moral
conscientiousness totally unknown
as the lowest of a genteel style.
The Tribune comes squa. & down
on th clrack Of the native squad of
lolnson's convention of rebels, cop
/ perheads and snrehead unionists, and
plainly asks the people il such may
be trusted.

History Repeating Itself.

\ few days after President Johnson
was iuauguratcd. a delegation Of IN
dianians called on him. At this in
torview he used the following Ian
guage SO often alluded to: Il have
heretofore said that treason must be
made odious- tn t traitors must be
punished, and impoverished They
m st not only be punished, but their
S @ al power must be destroyed. If
not, they will still maintain an ascen-
dancy. and may again be numerous
and powerful; for, in the words Of
a former Senator Of the United
States, when traitors become numer-
Gus enough treason becomes respect
able, Butthis was said at a time
when Johnson was right.
Like all our accidental Presidents
elected from the Vice Presidency, he
has since been taken with second tcrm
oh tn train, and can see no show for
his object but in joining his former
enemies who were the late enemies
to his country. They cannot trust
him, and at proper time will drop
him.

4 Word TO Boys and Young Men.

You are just starting in life, with a
grand career before you if you have
a mind to now begin and make it 50.
Beware then Of making a wrong
start-one that may hinder every
good ana great step taken afterwards.
Your fortune depends entirely on
whether you start with a party that
is vigorous, manly, consei -ntious aud
humane-for party gets such strong
hold upon a man by middle life that
it becomes a part Of him
fiat middle life man belongs TO
4 disloyaI, inhuman o. ether sort Of
party wherein hatred to country and
humanity is the basis, as with the
present Comprehend party, he must
also take to other evils and will soon
lind himself filed with apologies for
all that renters life miserable.
See the Copperhead party, which
but last week made an attempt at re
claiming itself yet is still made up Of
men indclllbly stained with treason
to country and humanity, and upon
whose tombstone the historian will
write, If the truth be written, False
to thirty false to country, aad faiSe u

memories Of men no forgetfnlness ;
whose colors are to grow darker aud

The literature is against them, the

And in nothing is history more ex-

1t is true, the Johnson sehism is
gotten up in view Of galvanizing
these war defeated ones into respec-

never can be. The back seats they
must tiIl-thc front seats are reserved
