Our editorial of yesterday morning I'M
der the above heading was in the publ
cation. of it made to convey, in some
portions of it, different meaning from
what was intended; we therefore re-pub-
fish it entire: .r..... .-. n o..
Is there any use for political organiza-
tons in Tennessee9 Parties mean some
thing or nothing. If they are for the
purpose of inaugurating and sustaining
great questions of principle and policy,
they are valuable and challenge the con-
sideration of the people. If they are
simply to subserve the interests of indi-
viduals and advance the ends of rings
and cliques they are trifing, if not posi-
lively hurtful. --, -. .---, '
A convention has been called with
view to the ensuing canvass for Gov
ernor. A convention of whom? A con-
vention for what2 These are questions
seriously to be considered and answered.
If the convention is simply to ascertain
which of certain named individuals can,
by the greatest management and energy,
bring together the largest number OF per
sonal friends, and to devise simply the
means that will secure their election,
then it is unworthy the attention of the
great mass who have no interest in these
personal ends. If the Convention is to
declare principles and agree upon what
is the best interests of the State and ma
ton, in which all classes, sects and con-
ditions are deeply concerned, then its i'm
portance cannot be magnified lW 20.
We find there are two views taken of
this subject though not frankly aYowed.
One looks to the convention as means
simply of advancing individual fortunes
and of placing some fayorite in the guber-
material chair. The other looks to the
convention as means of preserving har-
mony among all those who concur in GER
tain great questions of principle and
policy, on the success of which it is be-
lieved depend the future peace aid pros
perity of the whole country, and especi-
ally the people of the Southern States
We belong to the latter. We repudiate
the former. We know that those who
first advocated and urged convention,
and the great body Of those who will look
anxiously to its deliberations, con
cur with US. Ii is not to be dis
guised, however, that the latter view
will not, as a matter Of course.
prevail In that convention; nor viii it
preyail unless the peOple-the unset
fish, unagpiring people-in the various
counties of the State, bestir themselves
and by personal attention to the matter
see that such delegates are sent here as
will truly reflect the popular win-dele-
GATES who will understand themselves as
coming not for the ignoble purpose OF
advancing the fortunes of this or that
man, but to advance the higher interests
of the State and country, by the open
avowal of principles, with honored men
simply as instruments for 3esr practical
enforcement and application. r 7argI

An agency for Koopmanschap % Co.,
the importers of Chinese, has been estab-
Iished in Boston. The Puritanic Bosto-
mans are as eager to reap the benefits OF
Chinese peonage as their ancestors were to
grow rich on their African slaves. They
will have no computations of conscience
at thus holding the Chinese coolies until
their labor becomes invaluable to them

to reap its rewards.
If our view of the question is correct,
the mere nomination of man is of
secondary importance, and the first bust
ness of the Convention.will be to define
the character and purposes of the party
that it represents, the principles on which
it stands, and the policy it seeks to inau-
gurate. When it has done that, more
than half the work will have been &C
complished. There may be much or lit
tie division as to favorites for the nomi-
nation; but the name of any one of a
hundred men in the State, would satisfy

SxUcKER, in his Public and Private
Life of Louis Napoleon, (page no. says:
Seventeen years were the limit OF the
supremacy of Napoleon 1. Seventeen
years the restored Bourbons reigned.
Seventeen years Louis Philippe occupied
the throne, and we may safely predict
that seventeen years viii be the longest
period allotted by the hand of Destiny to
the restored dynasty of the BOnapartes'
The parallel may seem absurd but 1t IS
based on solid reasons, and deduced from
rational differences" As the Empire was
proclaimed about January, 1853, Smuek-
er's prediction did not prove true. We

ER. JAMES L. ORR, degenerate son
of South Carolina, who was Speaker of
the United States House of Representa-
tiVes, has written letter expressing his
determination to support the carpet-bag
Governor Scott for reelection. He did
this in order to retain the Office of Judge,
which he now fills, thinking that Scott
and the corruptionists will be able to carry
the State. The Cincinnati Chronicle
makes Orr's letter the occasion for this
remark: I'D .-
"One of the most gratifying signs of
the times, both for the continuance of
Republican ascendancy, and for the COM
plete restoration or order and good feeling
inlthe reconstructed States, is the rumber
of men hitherto prominent at the South,
and identified with the rebellion, who,
like Messrs. Orr and Akerman, are sensi-
bly accepting the situation, and joining
the Republican RANKS. " ~
Alderman says he Joined Toonbs' staff
in order to Rvoid being eonscripted and
forced to fight for the rebellion, and as
for Orr, he cannot influence half a dozen
white men in all of South Carolina to
vote the Radical ticket.

country to enigrate to the United States,
according to our consuls in China, did so
as free and voluntary emigrants, not only
willing but anxious to co. The coolie
system of contracts is prohibited by law,
but there is and can be no law to prevent
the Chinese from coming to this country
and making labor contracts after their
arrival s'.yi7q Lsq4ols 1isqs 60
When the question of Chinese immi-
grafton was discussed two or three years
ago, the Radicals protested themselves
violently opposed to it, on the ground
thatit would introduces species of sla-
very into this country, something like
peonsge in Mexico. Now when it has
been demonstrated that the negro cannot
furnish the 'fntelligent labor" demanded
in the New England States, these self
same Radicals have made the astute dis
covery that the Chinese coolies come of
their own free will. Of course they do,
but they understand before they come to
this country that they have to enter into
state of seryitude or peonage for mum.
Der of years The Radicals are perfectly
willing to see their law thus evaded.
