lean Convention in Pennsylvania was Mr. Cam
erOns convention, and also that Mr. Cameron was
angry with the President on account OF some recent

Ewing walls because good crops and foreign buy-
ers have made resumption secure, and thus spoiled

coming elections. The ablcst Democratic news
paper in Louisiana, The Nelc- Orleans Times, says

interference, is at the bottom OF the movement, and
declares that if the planters will give the negro sat
