Missouri appoints Delegates to the
National ConventiOn-WhOt they are.

We learn from the New York NetcS that
Missouri has taken the lead in the APP
puintmcnt of delegates to the Convention
which is To meet at Philadelphia on the
lIth OF August, the great Conservative
State Convention which met at St. Louis
on the Sd instant having appointed full
set of delegates from the State ut large
and from each Of the congressional dis
tricts.
The delegates selected, says the Nc,rS,
represent every shade of conservative
opinion, and were clearly selected without
any regard To past party Affiliations.
Amongst them may be recognized many
who have been prominent in national poll
tics. The Hon. John Hogan and Hon.
Thomas +. NOEL are members of the pre-
sent CongrcSS-thc tormcra Democrat, the
latter Republican. Willard 7. Hall, r.
4. Rolicr, james s. Rollins, Louis V.
Bogv, Thomas l.. Price, William A. Hall,
Gilchrist Porter, Robert Wilson, and others
have filled important Offices, both Federal
and State, and have long been potent in
their respective parties, while the bar sends
lis cllictcSt ornaments in the persons Of
Samuel 7. Glover, Albert Todd, James O..
Bruadlcad, and others scarcely less dis
/ tinguishcd for learning and virtues. While
a majority of the delegates have been Re
publcans, and voted for Lincoln, We find
among the minority many who have al
WAYS adhered to the Democratic party,
ami who have never bent the knee to Baal.
40 more suspicious beginning of the
campaign against the Radicals could have
been made than that which the ConScrva-
1ivcs of Missouri have thus initiated. ii
insurcs their victory in that great State,
and gives to the philadelphia Convention Il
prc>i;Jc OF success which everything con-
spires 10 make brighter and more hopeful.

are frightening.

A Diabolical pIOf--fhc President 10
ReOrsuniZe .ise Southern Represcn-
tasivcs and Northern COppcrheads
~ the True COngresS-A Notable
Scheme Exposed.
BY JOHN W. FORNEY, u. d.

The fourteenth August Convention at
Philadelphia was called TO give Seasonablc
shape TO this project, and probably to pre-
cole q Suidcn d,l short call for special
session of Congress, when, if these rebel
claimants are refused admission, Andrew
Johnson will recognize them, in addition to
the Democratic mnoritieS, as the legal
Congress Of the United States.
lOh, horrible.
To conSummatc this helliSh plot there is
10 be no change whatever in the National
Constitution which will prevent the en-
iorccmcnt of any general law for the pro-
lection of the civil rights Of the loyal
whites and blacks. TothS end the money
and the Offices Of the people are to be used
with lavish and liccntiouS fury. No man
is TO he left in place who does not consent
to help this nefariouS scheme. Dlsloyal
and Coppcrhcad judges are everywhere
pronouncing the Civil Rights bill uncon-
stitutional, and that great statute will soon
become n dead letter if the new article OF
amendment is defeated.
When the two Houses have adjourned,
several courses are suggested. One Is the
proclamation OF Il general amnesty, which
will save the trouble and expense of fur
Their pardonS, and remit to the whole rebel
population all their rights, thus enabling
them to take part in the tribnnital pro-
grammc. Succeeding this declaration
we may expect the RECONSTRUCTED Go
vcrncrS to call special elections in the
several mrcprcscutcd districts, to serve i'll
the next and closing sessions Of the pre-
sent or Thirty-ninth Congress. Senators
have already been elected from Georgia,
Mississippi, South Carolina, and North
Carolina, among whom is the Fice-Prcsl-
dent of the Confcdcracy, who, after pro-
claiming the present National Consti-
tuition defective because it did not make
slavery tn. cornerstone" of the Go
vcrnmcnt, and defending that of the
Coniederacy rs superior because it did,
now demands all his rights under the Re-
public he steadily toilcd to overthrow.

Wardwclrs speech as Reported by

The Washington Ch,O,,;cle of yesterday
furnishes us with what we suppose to be a
correct copy of Wardwel's Fourth ofJuly
speech to the negroes, and says 1T is plain
but full of heart cheering devotion to
country" Here it is:

pctcnt 10 address you on such an occasion ;

the white man or the black man. Having
been thoroughly washed and cleanscd OF
the foul stain and dirty name OF slavery, il
now floats forth as the ,roriorS best jug.
Abraham Lincoln, the nations noblest
man, called you to defend that flag. Man:
fully did you respond to that call, and
braycly did YOU defend the unconquercd
and uncomfortable old banner. 1t is my
flag; it is your flag. We must and will
defend il.
Under the blessings of God, and by rlr-
tue Of the American bayonet, welded by
loyal white and black hands, am allowed
to call this dwelling my home, this lady
my wife, these boys my sons.
