The Columbia Convention and the
80 q Charlest0n Democracy.

The Columbia Phoenix Of yesterday says
authoritatively, that ''the officers Of the
late convention do not regard it as their
duty to call any other conven tion. If the
malcontents desire new convention, let
them call it. These gentlemen are citizens
of the State, and have the Same rights that
all other citizens have. If it is supposed
that the late convention did not represent
the sentiments Of the people Of the State,
then let them try that sentiment, and they
will, then, we trust, be satisfied; they will,
then, we TRUST, unite cordially with the peo-
ple, and not :disunits them by groundless
complaints. 1t may be that these gentlemen
are correct, but we are prepared to abide
the issue and the trial"
This statement, however, says the same
journal, was prepared before the action OF
the Democratic meetingin Charleston, and
was not prompted by it.
The Phoenix comments editorially upon
the action of the Charleston meeting, and
says:
The convention that assembled here, in
April last, announced master policy, and
initiated q craftsmanship suited to the times.
The mopsnent has been followed up through
out the whole State, and attained significance
abroad: We scarcely think tina. the adherents
of that convention, and It's .poie will yield
to the unreasonable demands that come from
the Char eston me+t ting. We SAY the Charles
ton meeting. because we do not believe that
the two hundred and fifty persons present On
the the occasion referred 70 justly represent the
s5ber feeling Of that city. Going as far as
any any, one in the appreciation Of the noble char
acteristics that belong to Charleston, we be-
iieye that she will not commit herself to an
antaeonisIn against the Democratic moveme 1t
that s has 1 gained so much ground in this State,
and secured so many fvlowers.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY ~, 1868.
"Not Guilty"

The President is acquitted, the High Court
has adjourned; and the Radicals have dealt
themselves blow threatens their party
with ruin. Now is the engineer likely to
BE, ,hoistswith his own petard, and they who
have been soheming for months to compass
the ) downfall aof Me- JOHNSON must work
with desperate energy and effect to save
themselves from destruction. 'ei.'~
"a The failure Of the eleventh article will
haye:in some degree prepared the public
mind for close vote, but nothing but q
certsinty which could not have been pos
sesaed, would have caused the people to
believe! that Mr.. .JoHssos would escape nm
harmed from the tolls of his bitter foes.
The Radicals have, in the impeachment
trial, exerted their whole strength; they
have tried iaturn. their every weapon, and
that they have; been defeated in the mortal
struggle is due 70 those Republican sena-
tors who have. dared toSprefer honor to ex-
Ipediency, and who would not perjure their
souls for share.ofz the spoils Of Office.
The acquittsIof Mr.. JOHNSON is proof
that, the, power of the ultra-Radicals is
broken, Impeachment was party ques-
ton for party purpose. Conviction was
declared to be essential to the life OF Re-
publican principles. The impeachment
managers pretended to speak in the name
of the people Of the United States. But
threat and menace are not potent forever.
The ultra Radicals pushed their victory too
far, and their refusal to be satisfied with
what they had already gained, has divided
their own party, and exposed them to
crushing overthrow They are foiled and
undone; they have left all hope behind.
1t may be that the Radicals will attempt
q second impeachment upon a, new indict-
iment. If so their. conduotgwill only bo the
Of the rage that precedes
dissolution: Their race is already run, and
their goal, instead Of power and fortune,
will be. dishonor, discontinue and despair.

Hard at Work.

The Republican candidates for city Offices,
the same hungry of6ce-seekers who CRASHED
their teeth on Saturday, have pluoked up
courage, and come to the conclusion that
the postponement of the elections will do
them no substantial harm. They are &C.
lively at work drilling and teaching, and
believe that when the elections do come Oh,
their party will be 80 well in hand that
P1IIsBuRY will run no danger Of defeat.
Meetings are held nearly every night; the
colored people are preached to and talked
at; every tongue is being strained to win
converts to Radicalism.
So are the Radicals hard at work, while
the Conservatives are doing nothing. The
nominations made in view of the elections
being appointed for June Cd and Sd, fall, it
is presumed, to the ground, and the organ
izations which promised to grow into pow
ers in the State, appear to be nipped in the
bud. Unhappily the people do not see the
necessity Of working, and yet at no mo-
ment was work more necessary than now.
The time that has been given US is golden
opportunity, an opportunity Of so arrang-
ing our plans as to control the elections
whenever they may take place; but the peo-
pie are not yet aroused, and, like oity Of
Micawbers, wait for something to turn up"
to help them.
II we are to be helped we must help our
selves; and it seems foolish in the extreme
that those who have all to lose should allow
themselves to be out-generalled by those
who have nothing to lose and everything to
win. The work should be begun at once,
and if properly conducted, it must be sue
cessful.

Virginia P0litics---Prospects.

The New York Times publishes private
letter from Virginia, which thus speaks of DO.
ltical affairs:
There was no reason why strong Republican
party should not have been built up of white
people in Virginia; but the controlling spirits
at Washington seemed to have no faith in the
intrinsic merits of the Republican cause, and
took such measures to build up an artificial party
In the State as necessarily drove from it ALL all
respectable white men. | doubt if even Judge
will acknowledge af6liation with the Re-
publican party as represented by the dominant
majority in Congress. srii
There are but two parties here-the Radical
party and the Conservative. The first is made
up exclusively OF negroes and strangers, most of
these last oucasts and adventures from the
North. Ihe Conservative party embraces all
the native whites, and all other whites who
have vested interests and stake In the COM
munity.
In Virginia negro domination cannot last two
years even if it be established. 1t cannot stand
| up against reason, virtue, intelligence, and the
spirit of country. The negroes themselves feel
that they are the instruments of monstrous
outrage and crime against nature, and that they
are digging graves tor their race The better
class OF negroes, especially those in he interior
| prefer the government OF the nativ whites to
| that of madmen and scoundrels of their own
color. But enough. The disgusting business
will have fitting end, and you will be vindicat.

| This is all very true, and the Times is enti-
ted to credit for frankness and honesty not
generally discernibe among its Republican col.
ieagues, In being willing to have its readers knor
the true state OF facts.

PENNSYLVANIA. Feb 10, 1867.

Rev. Dr. Samuel j. Baird, ,Staunton, Va.
DEAR SIR knowing your former identli-
cation with this part Of the State OF Pennsyl-
vania, and that you have been for some time
residing in the State of Virginia, and that your
duties have given you unusual opportunities Tor
forming correct Judgment Of the capacities. OF
Virginia as an Agricultural and Manufacturing
region, and still more that you must be able to
speak of the temper and disposition OF her peo-
pie towards the citizens Of the Northern States,
who might be induced to 60 to that State,
have determined to address to you this letter.
| have no doubt but that many of our Pennsyl-
vania people might be induced to 60 to Virgin
la to seek new homes and more profitable pur-
suits, if they could be satisfied of the advan-
tages, which am satisfied Virginia now pre-
sents to men of enterprise and integrity, and
intelligence who will go there and cast in their
lots with Virginians. very general impress
sion, however, prevails that Northern men
would not be kindly received there, and indeed
many apprehend that they would not be safe.
| will thank you, my dear Sir, to give me fully
and candidly, your views and convictions upon
these points. Whether those views shall in,
duce any of my friends to settle in Virginia or
not, they will, am satisfied, tend to the for
nation of correct opinions, and to the cutiva-
ton of kindly feelings towards our brethren,
among whom you live.
| write to you f,r the reasons which have
already given, and because [ know that you are
permanently settled at Staunton, in the very
| heart of the Shenandoah Valley.
I am very truly,

The Shadows of Life.

Amid earth's fairest brightest scenes,
The thought will steal with saddening powe
Whate' er is dearest to our hearts
May fade and perish in an hour.
While hope would speak of joys to come,
And deck with flowers our pathway here;
The flowers are withering in their bloom,
Our hopes are shrouded in despair.
We gaze upon blooming rose
Whose opening leaves new charms display
f. en- while its perfume we inhaleS
The worm has seized it for its prey.
We pluck it from the parent stem,
To gladden. and delight our eyes; -
But ere its beauties are unveiled
1t withers in our hand-and dies.
The glories of a Summer day,
To our enraptured sight appear;
w here beauty sheds her choicest gems,
We cannot look for darkness there!
But sea- change steals O. er the scene
The storm has risen with fearful power;
Its shadowy garb O er hill and dale,
Its blight on every tree and flower
The friends of childhood's sunny hours,
Seem dearer to our heart each day;
Their love peaceful charm will shed,
When youths fair visions fade away.
This cherished dream is soon dispelled: y
+ We find the friend a stranger grown; e4.
Or death relentless hand has seized
Its prey-and we are left alone. .
Then say not life is beautiful
Where shadows chase each JOY away, -
And all we love and fondly prize
Is stamped with ruin and decay
In vain we seek resting place,
Like Noah's faint and weary dove;
Till faith ith heavenly charm reveals
A home of rest and peace above.
