A CONVENTION OF THE DEMOCRACY
OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

In view of the political situation, the
widespread corruptions, and he rainous
stlRancial policy of the federal govern
the unjust and burdensome sys-
tem6f taxation, and the suicidal policy
of destroying the great producing inter-
ests of the Southern States by the opera
tons of the prospective reconstruction
laws Of Congress, we suggest the calling
Of Democratic Convention represent
ing the great interests of the Mississippi
Valley at an carly day, to be held in
some Western city, to be hereafter
agreed upon to take delibcrative action.
We would further suggest tho Sth f
January, 1870, as a day peculiarly APP
propri 4te for holding such convention,
suggestive as it is of the days of the
sterling JACKSON Democracy, and the
anniversary OF the prevention of second
foreign domination in the Valley Of the
Father of aters-Ptttsb1y (Pa.) Post.

a MAGNIFICENT HOUSE OF WORSHIP.

The New York Herald Of Saturday
contains very full description Of the
new Jewish house of worship, built cor
ner Fifth avenue and Forty-third street,
New York, known as the "TempIe
EMANUEL" 1t blends in unconscious
harmony six different orders of architec-
turc--Saracenic, Byzantine, Morcsque,
Arabesquo, Gothic and Norman. The
interior decorations are finer and more
costly than of any Christian church in
the land. The Herald closes It's article
with the following;
In ten pevs from the pulpit sit every
Sabbath ter millionaries, and from that
point back an aggregate of millions more
is represented. Did there ever sit to-
gethcr since the days that the fair and
regal ruler of Sheba was escorted 6v the
gorgeous retinue Of the court of Solomon
to the temple of that menarch's ambition,
such a galaxy Of worldly wealth, and it
might be venturcd such a galaxy Of
beauty and refinement? The roof OF the
temple is fiat, and Gu. into squares by
the traverse arches. A good deal Of
elaborate poIychrome painting fills in the
spaces. The best time to observe the
many beauties in this field Of decoration
is at night, with the aid furnished from
the full radiance of the many blazing
candelabra,. The figures arc brought
out in happier relief and show with a
luStrc denied them by daylight.

have never yet heard of the first one who
has cleared expenses, unless on Savan-
nah River rice plantations. Why, sir,
for want of labor, the country has be-
come a mere wastc-rats destroying the
rice, corn and cotton in the tields-rats
and other vcrmin in incredible numbers;
fencing rotten or burned the few houses
left by the enemy going to ruin; all the
best lands in broomgrass; cane briars
ten feet high; the freedmen prefcrrinS
to half work the poorest lands, which are
moro easily cultivated.
The negro has become utterly INSULT
cicnt as n laborer, and, as citizen, a
perfect nuisance. There is, perhaps, no
place at the South where emigrants
would be more warmly welcomed, or
where they could do better in the long
run. The lands are fertile convenient
to market, and, for the most part, heal
thy. They are incomparably superior
to the sea islands. Range for stock is
excellent, and, on the salt water creeks,
abundance of fish and oysters.
As to the stcalage, it would be almost
incredible by those who did not realize
it. Many have had to break in their
corn out of the fields, before it was well
maturcd, to save it from theft, and cotton
is stolen still worse.
The negroes are in large majority
over the whites. They, the former, will
elect the magistrates, and You can judge
what chance we have to bring a thief to
repentance through the law. The whites
may be said to have virtually no rights ;
for right without the means of cnforc-
ing it, is a word without sense or mean
ing.

WONDERFUL.

In the science Of Sociology it is i'm
possible not to recognize tho rcmarka-
bic history of the Jews, and recognizing
it, it is equally impossible to cast that
history aside as an unmoaning record of
an overruling Providence. Limited in
numbers and in power, among no other
people can VIC find a more distinguished
history or one exerting more impor-
tant influence. Their moral polity fur
nished the basis of modern civilization
and their religion the foundation of mod

AN EXTRACT FROM A GERMAN Pa
PER
Very respectfully,
GEORGE 5. boutwell,,
Secretary of the Treasury. O. X

The truth is ruclly but fully told IN
following paragraph upon the poll'iea
situation in this country:
"Evcnts have trodden down the theo-
rics of American States rights, and the
principles and teachings of earlie'
American politics. with fearful strides,
during the last ten years. The Amcri-
cans proper, it is true, still vehemently
protest against admitting this, in theory,
but they are gradually beginning to re
cognize the facts. At last, however,
they will have to concede, in theory also,
that the war placed the Republic upon
an entirely new basis. Death does It's
share, meanwhile, to help the people on
toward this conviction, by continually
thinning out the ranks of those who
grew up in the old school, which daily
more and more assumes the character OF
historical Renaissance"

PDABODY'S DEATH.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Peabody's death is
universally regretted. The News says:
Peabody was not a man of impulsivc,
emotional benevolence but of rather a
iudicious, widely spread benefcenco. His
libernlity was not posthumous. He gave
from his own substance and didnot squan-
der what death wrestcd from him His
services, both to his native land and adop-
ted country, were fttingly and gracious
" recognized in royal letters and the
thanks of Congress. Merchants, in pass
ing his statue daily, do not need to learn
from the consumate man of business how
to gain money, his career may teach them
how it may be wisely spent.
