PorTT1cM. CONVENTION AND THE DHMo- CRATIC ARTx-7l1 IT l4Ea1r.Ta ErTER FROM MR. Hn- 'LARD.q vn~.;f;g a.i F. se..,a7e41 .rai4Gas-a Hon. George S. Hillard having been so- Gcited by some Democratic politicians of Ohio to give a1i opinion as to the policy of Q Democratic Convention of all the States, replied as follows:
 IEns.c Bosros, Jan. %, 1867.
 MY DRAR Sm:I have received your let ter in regard to the proposed Democratic Convention, and will say in reply, with en- tire frsnkness, that I ann not in favor of the proposed Convention, and will state some of my reasons:
 mtheairst place [ think the Democrat ie party has not the confidence of the eoun- try; whether rightfully or ,wrongfuhy, I do not say; but of the fact there can be no questions.
 Second, I have no faith in conventions They are generally controlled by the least wise among their body. They are excita- ble mebse and in every convention there gre few men who are wiser than all the rest, but these men are controlled, and do hotcpnroL Tho course of the Democrat- i'd Convention, in 1864, in my judgment, lost McC Clellan his election. The Conven- tion last Summer at Philadelphia did no good at Gl, ,4O say the least. And the dAn' gers off fsConventiohs are increased in times 90 electrical as ours.
 "Non tali auxiliis, non defensoribus istis,
 r Tempus eget.3 S4TGIJ G-E%l#
 What we need now is patience, infexi- ble, inyincible patience, that endures and waits. The country is sick with the dis ease of Radicalism; and this is what the faculty call 8 aselflimited disease and must run it's course, and cannot be checked by medicaments. My life upon it, should this Convention meet, it will not part without doing or saying something to give aid and comfort to the enemy. .2L5I Y3Et-
 The country now is too prosperous for any change in its policy. Nine men out of ten have no other test of the wisdom ot any set of public measures than it's effect upon their pockets. When the tide shall have turned from food to ebb; when the seven years of plenty shall have been suo- ceeded by seven yearsof famine, we may hope for better day, but not till then.
 Yours, faithfully, ....-. /..tL

only during the life of the present
generation, but for ages to come, we
should remember that all men are
entitled, at least, to a hearing in the
councils which decide upon the desti-
ny of themselves and their children.
At present, ten States are denied
representation, and when the For
ticth Congress assemblies, OH tho
fourth day of the present month, six
teen States will be without voice in
the House of Representatives. This
grave fact, with the important ques-
tlons before us, should induce us to
pause IN course of Legislation which,
looking solely to the attainment of
political ends, fails to consider the
rights it transgresses, the law which it
violates, or the institution which it
lmperils. ANDREW JOHNSON.
