We endorse the appeal of the Cen :
trail Committee of the Democracy of
the First District Of this State, in
favor of holding the next National
Democratic Convention in the city of
Louisville A more fitting place for
such a Convention could not be
selected, unless it be held early enough
in the season to justify locating it at
New Orleans, where the delegates
might have their enthusiasm kindled
by a negro massacre, the murder of a
few Abelitionists, or something of
that sort. Next to New Orleans and
Memphis we east our vote for Louis
vile. We desire that the rebel ele-
ment Of Kentucky shall have fair play
in the Convention, and holding it at
Louisville would secure that end.
Locating the Convention In a South
ern State will naturally suggest the
propriety of selecting its President
from loyal State. We nominate
for that responsible position the
Hon. CLEMENT L. VALLANDIGHAM,
sometimes called ASA" VALLAN-
DIGHAM. With him as President of
the Convention, and PENDLEToN or
SEYMOUR as its nominee for President
of the United States, everything will
certainly prove lovely. By all means
let the Convention be held in Louis
vile.

The Republican party has been
denounced from one end of the coun-
try to the other as a Radical organi-
cation, because such men as STEVENS
and BUTLER were connected with it.
On one vital principle. that of repud :
alton, these men have gone over to
the Democracy. We congratulate the
Democratic papers of Indiana on
these accessions to their ranks. We
trust we shall hear no more about the
Radicalism of these gentlemen now
that they have identified themselves
with the regulators on the great
financial question of the day. Nor do
we wish to see any mock coyness on
the part of our Democratic cotempo
raries in receiving these princes of
Radicalism Nothing short of open
arms and loving embrace will be
reception commensurate with their
merits As soldier, Gen. Butter
was not a decided success, aud as
statesmen, Mr.. STEVENS has proven
a failure, because of his impracticaJ
bility and Feasibility. The Republi
can party can spare both of them and
be all the stronger.

THE Courier can't see how Con-
gress may attempt to set aside the
doctrine that States, which have not
forfeited their rights under the Con-
stitution, must regulate the question
of suffrage for themselves. 1t is very
much surprised that the JOURNAL
should deprecate any such attempt,
unless authorized by National Con-
vention Of the party. 1t wants to
know, in case the National Conven-
ton should so instruct, whether that
will take away the right and power of
the States in the premises, and
whether we would have the resolu-
tions or platform of our National
Convention override constitutional
right.
There are great many things
the Courier can't understand. We do
not propose to attempt remedying
natures defects by improving its want
of capacity to understand simple facts.
The magnitude OF such an undertnk
ing is beyond our time, inclination, or
ability. Compassion, however, for its
hereditary weakness in this respect,
prompts us to enlighten its ignorance
in the above particular.
Congress may amend the Constitu
ton of the. United States so as to
make suffrage universal. In that
way it may attempt to abrogate the
doctrine that States have exclusive
control of that matter. This attempt
we do not desire it to make unless
authorized by Republican National |
Should that Conyen-
ton decide to go before the people on
that issue, Congress could then pass
the amendment and the battle would
begin. 1t is because we do not be-
lieve the Republican party desires
any such issue, that we want Congress
to refrain from making it until it
hears from the people through their
delegates ina National Convention

We do not know that we have
cleared the minds of the Garier ed
tors of the fog in which they are en-
yeloped, but we are confident our po
ition is not misunderstood by any
nan of ordinary intelligence.

A ScANDALOUS AFFAIR.-The Rut-

brass field pieces and fired salute,
and in the evening procured few
musicians, armed with cracked instru-
ments (the best that could be mus
tered for the time being,) and seren-
AIDED the rebels wife with the Con
federate pdtionaL air of" Dixie. = The
Herald thus Indignantly speaks of the
affair: .'
" It IS burning shame that the
consort, or her rebel mother. of the
author of Anderssnville and Belle

WE are glad to notice that the me-
groes of the South manifest a com

think it is becoming in them to indi-

ventiOns. that they are In love and
charity with all men, At late meet
ing in Claiborne County, Mississippi,
resolutions were adopted requesting
the colored Peep to exercise their
privileges with kindness and mode
ration towards all men - declare
that no State Constitution should
be formed in a spirit of revenge to-
ward any class of persons favor
the adoption of a policy calculated to
invite the confidence of capital and
impart a stimulus to enterprise-and
emphatically affirm desire that " the
whole policy of confscation and dis
reimbursement for past political Of
fences be abandoned, and all our peo-
pie restored to their just and equal
rights" We look in vain for resolu-
tions of similar character In the
Democratic Conventions in the States
of Maryland, Delaware, and Ken
lucky. Nothing but hatred to the
negro is seen in them. No talk there,
about restoring negroes to their just
and equal rights We commend the
spirit of the late Mississippi slaves to
some who boast superior ciViliza-
ton. Their example might be fol-
lowed with profit. ..l..l.

The Courier never Jokes, except
accidentally. 1t perpetrated a good
one, yesterday, in quoting from the
New York Herald a paragraph rela-
tive to the New York City finances,
which, the Courier says, sustains its
statement that the Republicans, who
are in a minority of sixty thousand
in that modern Sodom, are response
BILE for the enormous public expenses
and consequent oppressive taxes Of
its people. The Herald is authority
with nobody. 1t is Kaleidoscope of
opinion, always changing, never es-
tablished. It's well known lying quail
ties have given it the appellation of
Satanic, and as such it is. known
throughout the country. The Her

only Satan vouching for one of his
