INVADING THE SOUTH.

The organization of republican
clubs throughout the North was a
special feature of the last presidential
campaign. The object was varied
mainly to FIRE the popular heart"
and to give prominence to a few poll
ticians who filled the offices and oc-
cupied the platform. These clubs
have mainly slept since the election,
but a convention is called for them
at Nashville, Tenn, March f. The
n. Y Tribune urges a thoroughly
national convention" suggesting
that these Northern clubs go to Nash
vile in special trains and make a tour
of the South after the convention has
adjourned. Such a convention visit
ed by delegates in such manner
may be of use in acquainting the
South with Northern sentiment and
patriotism, but its value cannot be
estimated very highly. But the dele
gates will have nice junket just the
same.
