The Convention Of the 2ad.

This Convention, preliminary to per-
feet organization of the conservative ele-
ment of the Republican party in this
State, as eontradistinguished from the
wretched faction who sought to palm
the rejected Constitution and candi-
dates on the people, was composed
of seventy or eighty delegates repre-
senting between twenty and thirty
counties. 1t contained the most
respectable element of the Republican
party in the State. OF the Northern ele-
ment, there were planters, merchants and
professional men, who have come here to
settle, and want the State restored to the
and let live; of the Southern element,
there were men of substance and sterling
worth, who have never sought nor desired
office, and whose real object is to escape
from the storms of contention and strife
into the haven of ''peace" by the shortest
cut. The colored element was well rep
resented by men who stand high in theirs
respective communities for their intelli-
genee, worth, opposition to strife, and
thorough apprehension of the true inter-
ests of their race. The zeal with which
the colored citizens have embarked in this
movement, confirms us in the opinion
which we have ever held that the great
body of their people; while naturally
claiming suffrage and all other political
rights for themselves, do not seek to de-
prive the whites of those privileges. -
This is the true secret of the assistance
which so many of them gave last year in
defeating the Eggleston Constitution,
Notwithstanding the evil teachings of Vi
cious and ambitious leaders and it is the
secret of the sympathy which they are
exhibiting for this conservative Republi-
can movement. They want to support
Gen. Grants policy, but they do not in
tend to cooperate with men who
are trying to create strife, and to disfran-
ehise the white population.
