ONE nAY,S CONVENTIONS

Six important political Conventions were held
Yesterday in five different States of the Union.
The Democrats of New-Jersey, Mississippi,
Georgia, and Illinois met to choose delegates
to the National Convention to be held at
Baltimore, July 9, and for other business. The
Liberal Republicans of Illinois met at Spring
field to ratify the Cincinnati nominations,
and to put State ticket in the field.
The Republicans of Vermont who had
previously given a cool Endorsement of the
denomination policy, assembled to nominate a
candidate for Governor and other State Off
GERS. Coming together, as these great Con-
ventions have, in answer to calls from the re-
cognized party authority, they largely represent
the present tone and temper Of the Organiza-
tons of which they are the only trustworthy
opponents. More potential than newspaper
organs, and more deserving of attention than
individual leaders, these great assemblies uD-
dOubtedly reflect the average sentiment of
large political constituencies.
The Democratic Conventions of Mississippi
and Georgia close up the list Of the Southern
States which have, so far as the Democracy
can do it, expressed their preference for Presi-
Dental candidates. That Of Mississippi gave
unqualified and enthusiastic Endorsement of
the Cincinnati Platform and nominees. The
sentiment of the great assembly was that the
Conservatives of Mississippi were ready to
join hands with the friends of constitutional
liberty in the North for the purpose of re-
storing the Government to its normal
relations to the people. The dele
gates to Baltimore were instructed accordingly.
Moved by a similar impulse, though more
guarded in expression, the Georgia Democracy
chose an untrammeled and unnstructed dele
CATION to Baltimore. The well-knOwn status
and unreserved declarations of these delegates,
as well as the overwhelming Liberal sentiment
of the Convention, are sufficient guaranty of
the cheerful accession of the Georgia Democ-
racy TO the great popular movement, though,
on of Difference to the feelings of the minority,
no formal resolutions were adopted. And so
Georgia goes with the last of the Southern
States TO join the Democratic torrent into
Liberalism. The spectacle is unique one,

THE PEACE SOCIETY.

The English press was unusually jocOse last
week in their ir0nical fluctuations OF the Peace
Society, now in congress at MOOrhelds. One
hundred millions sterling will not, they allege,
cover this year the military budgets of the
various European Powers, while to counteract
this sinful expenditure the peace gospellers
propose to expend just G4,654 "To be armed
dis the principal part of Germany's existence !;
France increases her army every day; Aus
"tria without her innumerable regiments would
"fall to pieces; that great peace-maker, the
"POpe, compels Italy to ruin itself in big
"guns and swollen battaiOns; tho hosts of
"Russia cannot be counted; the Sultan boasts
"that he can put 100000 men in the field.
"To match these, the refOrmers have twelve
omen distributing tracts.D OF course, here is
foundation for plenty of gibes and jokes and
certainly the case as thus stated seems hope
less enough yet hardly so hopeless as that of
the twelve fishermen and publicans who once
went out with q new true idea into world
filed with false gods and their wOrshipers.
There is nothing so heavy as a truth in
which God has put weight; and in spite of
tho five or six millions of people confronting
"each other with guns loaded and matches
"hghted, all over Europe" in spite of mont
tors or fish torpedoes, we put our faith in
the simple truth promulgated by the peace
men, that human reason is q moro manly,
speedy, and civilized course of settling human
disputes than brute force, and that even now
men are finding it out. The mere fact of the
arbitration between ourselves and England
proves this, not less strongly even though it
should be a failure. When nations, as well as
individuals, discover the expediency of a course,
it opens their eyes very speedily to its justice.
War with the unlettered, unemployed hosts of
Europe, three centuries ago, was necessity
war to a mercantile, commercial people, now
a-days. is very nearly destruction. That fact
will quicken the minds of men amazingly to
the lofty truth of Christ's teaching.

who have despaired of the complete political

Government is better administered through

into the midst of the procession, and our
show is ruined. ;,
Well, it must be dispiriting; but after ALL

wagons, and Gen. Butler is only little more
adroit and enterprising than his rivals.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-06-27

For fair illustration of the depth of abject
meanness to which man may stOOp for
official favor, we commend the reader to a
letter, written by Senator Spencer of Alabama,
elsewhere printed in THE TRIBUNE. This
shameful, crawling epistle, written year ago,
exhibits the Senator in the light of a pro-
Administration Senator, who is ready to carry
Alabama for Grant; TO give Grant the
Republican party in fee simple; to do
ANYTHING that the President would have him.
provided only that he shall have as much of
the Federal patronage as Senator Warner was
used to have. That gentleman, he declares,
had fve-sixths of the patronage in the State ;
and yet, he continues, though | have
but tri1e, my friends support me! His
allusion to his compact with the President,
and his declarations that he has carried out
his part of it, only show how our model Civil
Service is used by the Great Reformer himself,
who is not above making bargains which in
clude services on one side and gifts of office
on the other. Nor is Mr.. Spencer's portrait Of
ex-Gov. Lewis L. Parsons, who was one of
the denomination delegates, a pleasant part
of this chapter of intrigue and low fnesse.
To appreciate the political morality of this
precious lot, it must be recollected that they
all are and were jealous friends Of the Ad-
ministration and corrupt as they represent
each other to be, they are sweating to carry
" Alamabama for Grant.
