THE CON5T TJTIoNAL UNION CON-
vENTION

We notice from the Jackson Ola
rion that the Convention called by
George l.. Potter, ald other men OF
influence and ability, at the capitol
has assembled and organized as q
Democratic Convention.
The prime object and aims of the
assembling of this council of the
leading white men of the State, were
as we conceived, to agree upon he
proper plans necessary to combat
and overthrow the designs of the
Radical Republicans, now being de
vel0ped in the Convention at present
q 'Senibled, and acting upon the Con
Stitutional changes of the organic
law of the laws of this State, as call.
ed for by the Military Reconstruction
Act. We were OF the opinion that
the greatest amount Of good could
be done by the political Convention
now in session, II its organizers, dis
carling all distinct political names,
and wiping ont all distinguishing
party attributes, and burying all
their Wing and Democratic preju.
dices in a grave of oblivion, would
call upon the people of Mississippi,
without reference to their former
positions on matters of great public
interest to rally az one man, under "A
broad. comprehensive, generous, con.
sentative aud constitutional stand
ard, and direct their energies, unim.
