CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
AND DEMOCRACY.

The Houston A0e had an article in late
issue Of that paper in relation to Constr
tsitional CoROntiOa, and rather deuuncia-
tory Of a prominent gentleman because
it was supposed that he had caused an
article to be written favoring one. This,
as well as we can remember, was the
substance Of the article, which did not
sound exactly right, as we supposed that
the Age was and had been In favor Of q
convention. (We only write from memory
wish the paper was before us We
did not for q moment suppose that we
were doing any injustice to the Ags and
had no desire to doso. The question was
as to the propriety Of calling conven-
ton. We therefore, in good faith, asked
that paper to point out any prominent
Dsno~utie papers which opposed one, and II
the Ags did not favor til IN reply. that
paper appears to take our article in high
dudgeon, and manifests a tenderness on the
subject which We cannot understand. We

curiosity Of a few fanatical persons have
conjured up the very worst intentions from
the secresy Of a few societies. Although
they are not able to point out any acts Of
such bodies which could befairly construed
as injurious to society, still, guided by an
indefnaDle fear which is ever characteristic
Of weak minds, they anticipate evil where
only good can be found, and are ready to
condemn before they have any evidence to
act upon.
The superior morality which they assume,
as well as the adoption of the name Of the
Creator into their Constitution, are enough
to brand the party as body Of hypocrites
who desire and intend to deceive the people
and build up prOscriptive power for the
purpose of establishing some religious dog
ma and political advantage. Whenever a
political party attempts to define moral and
religious duties, the conclusion Is legitimate
that it is born Of prejudice and intolerance,
and will not hesitate for one moment to de-
stroy the rights and liberties of the people,
SO soon as the power is placed under their
control.
But they win meet with failure, shame
and condemnation. The miserable crea-
lures viii soon deny that they belonged to
such party.

sins for US to forget so soon, and ever at
tempt to prepare the minds Of thepeople OF
the South to support him. Louisiana and
South Carolina are still PROSTATE AT the feet
Of negrodom, hoisted into power and sus-
tained by the bsyonets which Grant fur
nished. We also remember the men who
were prosecuted as Ku Klux in Alabama,
South and North Carolina, many Of whom
we're convicted by perjured witnesses and
cent to Northern prisons, where, separated
by hundreds Of miles from their families, they
had toendure the biting cold Of a climate
70 which they were not accustomed. We
also remember how various districts or
counties IN the poor State Of South Caro-
Lima were almost depopulated by the at
tempt to arrest good citizens charged with
being Ku Kux, who had to flee their homes
to avoid loathsome prisons.
No; if the Neps desires to nominate
Grant for third term, let that paper do Sc; /;
but for us, we only ask that enough of our
articles, if quoted at all, may be published
50 that we may not be placed IN false
position.

most elegantly tasteful and artisticly
beautiful attraction, in the supper
which they gave at Odd Fellows hall
last evening. The intensest epicure
could have required nothing beyond

was a feast from the veriest substantial
to the most elegant bonnie bouchc. A
large number of the visiting med
ical fraternity were present. Colonel
George Noble, that princely gentleman
and able head, in this state, of the Texas
Pacific road, accompanied with his ele-

At the conclusion of the Cosmopolite
