a most extraordinary and astonish-
ing bit of journalistic correspondence
appeared in the New York Tribune of
February 10th, dated the day before
at the city of Washington, wherein the
writer declares that "it will hardly be
good policy, in view of the present at
titudc of the Administration, for any
of the southern States 10 hold Consti-
tutional Conventions O for the pur-
pose Of making changes in their or
ganic laws "Thc Democrats in
Washington now advise tho abandon
ment Of the project in several States,
inasmuch as the President has the
power, and shows the disposition, to
treat the South with great severity
We'll said Has e. indeed, come TO
this, ;hat any State, or States, under
what is called the American Union,
dare not call Constitutional Conven-
tions because the President is disposed
to treat the section wherein those
states lie with great severity Now
We gravely and earnestly ask those
very prudent, cautious patriots % who
advised the southern States not to do
what they had q constitutional right
for thus dong, II they think, by this
miscalled prudence, they are going to
avert any visitation Of Grants despot-

Yer invests the Democrats with, who

ton, he did not at once apply the
shaclSies and go on with his unholy
work Men who concede that their
rights are beng trampled upon-men
VINO realize day by day the monarch
cal spirit OF the despot OF the White
housc-men who openly acknowledge
that the Constitution which was made
sacred by the best blood of our Revo-
lutionary fathers, perhaps by the very
sires Of these very sons, who now fear
fully and timidly concedo thai. they
had better not "irritate the man in the
White House by doing what that
hitherto sacred Magma Chd,td gives
them the political. the legal the moral
right to do" here, now, in time of
peace, these miserable, cringing souls
deserve to have C@sars shaclsles put
upon them at once, though God knows
they do not need them, for in their
cases there is nothing that requires
Stacking they are slaves so abiect
that even thread would not be bro
ken by their struggles for frccdom.-
