Political Duplicity .

1t is very we'll understood that bills
are in course of preparation, for early
introduction into the next Congress
providing for sueeping conGscation O
rebel property in the Southern States, and
for its distribution among the enfran.
chised slaves, for paying claims of loyal
men for property destroyed during the
war, and for giving farms to Northern
soldiers who will settle in the South.
Mr.. Stevens has declared his purpose,
"God willing and he living" to press
such a measure as this upon Congress;
and General Banks, in debate, declared
himself in favor of such distribution OF
Southern farms among Northern sol,
diers as the only effectual mode of re,
constructing Southern society. 1t may
safely be assumed that the whole body
of Radicals in Congress will go for such
a measure; and it is confidently expect.
ed that the rejection, by the South, OF
the new terms now proposed will Gre
ate fresh feeling of resentment which
will give it popularity and strength
throughout the North. The measure
itself has elements of attraction for
many classes, and is expected to secure
the support of the soldiers in a body

cert in the Democratic party, Is truth
of which we are all conscious; and that
our future is utterly hopeless until that
unity and harmony can be restored, IS
equally certain. Nor do we Sc any
practicable mode of restoring this uni
ty and concert, except by the meeting
of the leading, the active, the wise ana
patriotic men of the party from all the
States, to consult upon the condition OF
the country. and the duties of its patri-
Otic citizens. "
Kentucky extends her hospitable IN
vitation to such to meet, to fraternize
and deliberate in her metropolis, until
they shall fully and in spirit OF pa
triotism and harmony determine upon
the future policy that will be most wise
for that oppressed majority, whose aim
is not revenge nor domination, but the
perfect restoration of republican inst
tutions, with the peace and prosperity
which they insure.
The limited number proposed for this
convention will, it is believed, be bet
ter adapted to its character as delib-
eratiye and consulting body, whose
functions are not to be hastily perform

are many in every State whose weight of
character, wisdom, and purity of
patriotism are such that we should re-
gret their absence from this important
occasion.
Delegates may be appointed by State
Central Committees, or by the people,
or Committees of the Congressional
Districts. From the Southern States
where there is less political Organiza-

from State or corporate authorities, or
from citizens of high standing will be
duly recognized.
