To that eud, 1 will thank you to acquaint me with tue source of the information upon which was bassd your article in your issue of the otb imitant, iu which you speak of the .. Temple of Mourning'1 uui of the "Confed erate flax5 being placed therein," 1 um, Sir, very respectfully. Your obedient servant, B, F. FOUST, T.ivvet Col. and Asst. lus. General. .The above, cOTHn?oication cama to band last week, iu the absence of the editor from thu city, nadas it refers toa public matter, we use our columns to give, publicity to the comments it naturally calls fortb. Answering thc Colonel sent herc from Head quarters at Charleston, to investigate the grave offence, we would state that " the information upon which oas based the article in our issue of the ? th instant, in which we speak of th* Temple of Mourning, and of Cou federate CUgs being placed therein," wa3 our own p?rnonal eye sight. And that there may be no raisunder.starding. as to the lan guago uttered on the occasion, wo reproduce the objectionable p.u-agraphs. Referring to the Temple of ?loora?ogi we said : '.' Twined around its pillars, hanging from il% arche*, and intenvoven in every beautiful slr.pe were fha wreaths, crches and festoons already described, while dotting tie .whole struct ure were cards bearing the ?ames of vhe dead, peeping oat among the leakes. Mottoes. Fmall Confrlerate flags draped in black, crape twistfed tr-und swords, which rcv ailed iii* memory of DeSaossure, Glad iis~). Johnson, Gr gp and J jnkins, and-a hundred other details cf beauty, were there to remind enc not. more of the gallantry of the dead than the affection of the living." And r.gaitt, referring to the silent encamp ment of the dead, wc observed : ." As if by ma-ic the enclosure was filled with ladies and children, and one hundred and fifty uiounds of earth bloomed in flowers and wreaths of green. Numerous little Con federate flags, too, peeped out of the new covering to tell that if in lifo the soldiers were remembered, in death their cause was not forgotten." To these simple exhibitions of woman's Jove-these little tributes offered by children jo the memory uf the dead, General Sickle* l*idft so much importance as to send to Co lamb?a a Brevet Colonel' of the United States to investigate the cireurr^'iEces, and learn whether " treason" be reu?y agaio rampant in oar midst. We trti3t that officer has been Mati??iad. Ile need have gone no further litan the courteous officer, commanding this post, or his subordinates, to have learned that ?here is no locality in the South where better order, better obedience to law, and better inanit?-rations of loyalty to the General Gov ernment, are observable than in this city of < Vilnmbia. On the other hand, he need only io ii:\?p. accosted the first woman or child h* m<n on our atr-oet* to bc informed that if ir is n c rime to wear ia memory of our dead, a (Confederate fia? orrr their hearts, then is every drop of blood that courses through j hem dyed with the so-called iniquity. The occasion wai to cill forth the saddest reminiscences, ?nd as crape was used as aQ emblem of sorrow for departed friends, so diminutive Con.'ed erste Hags were employed ts tipiiy sorrow for alost c*u<e. Much as some Federal officers may desire to discover evidences of disloyalty in the ?South that sbuii k*r:?p up siauding armies and continue liberal salares, we tiiiuk that in the present instance Gen. Sickes has shot far be low his mark in tabing the impulses of women :iud children as a uxt for bis report to Sec retary Stanton on the unreconstructed condi tion of South Carolina. From a Beast But ler we might have anticipated it-from a man of the world, like Daniel E. Sickles who knows something of life and it3 sympathies, ?od who expects, young asan as be is, one day to dofl" his uuifonn and hold high civil offices, we had no thought that so pinall a matter would command his attention or ex cite his fears. With such acute eye3 upou UF, one scarcely knows where disloyalty end3 and patriotism begius. We may be indicted for not celebra ting tbe 4th of July; or called upon to an swer for the colors of our wife's ribbons ; or held to account for a dissipation that leaves too much red at the tip of one's nose. The day of small things appears to have come* We eau only say id conclusion, that if the commander of the department will leave ?be care of Columbia to Col. Green, his officers aud regulars, now stationed at this post, than whom we have not had more quiet or courte ous soldier* since the close of the war, he wiil he promptly admonished of any distur bance of the public peace 'sufficient to pro voke the sending of a paragraph to Wash ington', and we shall be r.parcd tho trouble of writing editorials to explain why the ladies and children of Columbia, on a mourning oc casion, indulge in the innocent display of. chat which will he remembered and respected for generations to come.

[Fron>4he-Londo??imefi, July 5.J The great d?cisive blow has been strnc and tho fortune of war has once mpre r claret) in favor or Prussia. Th'e bold cn ception and consummate execution of thi iar-Mghted plan of campaign, and. theresu of a long series of bloody^ encounters brid, the ci?se of last wiuek, enabled- the Prussi "pe?er?is to masa their forces on the plains Bohemia, and to press cloae npon their encrr who,; after disputing thftground inch.byinf alqnp every .avenue of that mountain g langdon:, hadfarlen backf foiled at all poili panuni and bleeding, yet turning to bay his last vantage ground on the Elbe, bet we bis two strongholds of Josephstadt and Koni ?ratz. A pause of tbrce days seems to ha been allowed, tu the combatants un both sid Finally, on Tuesday, the First Prussian ? my, under Prince Frederick Charles, adva cing from Gitscbin, on tho road that by Chit and Horzita leads to Sadowa, and the Seco Anny, Uuder the Crown Priucc, crossing t Elhe to meet them, drew up all' their co bined forces, under the immediate comma of their K'Pg-au array, it is said; of no li than eight army corps-on some point bc Kouiggratz, between the right bank of t Eibe aud the left of ^be Bistriiz, a minor if uta'ry stream which runs parallel to the ms river from Horzitz toits confluence witb Marshal Benedeie, aovare that the decisi moment bad armed, issued forth from Kc ui?gruiz, apparently with ouly five ari dorps, but choosing, as was natural witL mau who stood ou his own ground, u mc advantageous positiou. The battle field di scribed as being ucar Horzitz, near Sadovi near K?niggratz; the lighting raged, prob biy, fruin one cud to the other ut al) this v; 'nict ol country. The battle lasted for twel .hour*. For six bours"the Austrians defend a strong positiou tbey bad chosen bebiud t li stritz, but it was taken by storm towards o'clock, and'by 7 in the evening the defeat the Austrians was complete. .The earlie Prussian bulletins of the same evening, at and 11 o'clock, already claimed a victor aud spoke of their army "as clo-e iu purst of their routed enemies. By later accounts, dated yesterday, we a told that three flags" aud thirty-four gu were takon by three of the victorious re? mente, add no less than 10,000 Austrian pris sers had rdready been brought iu. The tr paies by which other corps signalized thc victory,-und tho total number ol their pris net's, had not yet been ascertained ; but tl twelfth Prussian Hassan are said to ha' broken two Austrian Squares. By their ov admission the Prussians purcbasjd their ti umphat a very dear price; all their corps we: brought into action, and a'l suffered severcl Nothing, however, pan exceed the extent the Austrian disaster. As telegram aft telegram comes in, every fresh detail conflrti us in our conviction that the imperial arm already exhausted by a series of defeats, which no less than 20,000 prisoners had fall? into the enemy's hands, dispirited by tl consciousness ol the fearful odds again which it had to contend^ owjng tp that fat. needle-gun, which experience had pro vet! I be almost irresistible, went into the fie! bent on a supreme effort, not sb much in di fence of the monarchy as in support of i ancient military renown, and fought not ; much to conquer as to sell the victory at tl highest possible rate.

Ccui Thun and Colonel Binder, both high ia con mund, are among the former ; among ti latter, three archdukes andGene-al Feste?C Prince Jyicbtanstein and PrinceWindischgral were taken prisoners. Where th?3 great debacle is to termin?t! wbat^oints Marshal Rencdek may still cor sider defensible, where he can hope to fin breathii.g room for tho reorganization of bi scattered and dispirited forces, we bardi venture to ii quire. Tbe suddenness and th magnitude of the sad Austrian calamity ar too overpowering for any man to speculate o its possible consequences on the destinies c the empire. Witu the exception of a fe\ fortresses, of no more avail in modern war fare lo slay Ia? triumphant progress of i victorious army than Joscpkstadt and Koni?; gratz have proved to be, Benedek has nothinj in.his r;;ar ?ut an open country, nothing bc tween him and thc capital hut a vast smootl battle field, where the cannon, the cavalry ?ud the dread need!e-gua of the Prussian will have free play.

THE KttCKCil TAKE POSSESSION AS OF FB3NCI1 TERRITORY, [from La Pre?.-e (semi-official) of July ".] The Italian Government has been advisee that it will-have to cease immediately ever) ict of hostility against Venetia, itbeing Frencb Territory. ' A French Commissioner \s gojug at once tc Venice'to assume its Government ia tbeuame of the Emperor. Orders nave been issued to the French squadron in the Mediterranean Immediately to repair to Venice, and to hoist the French flag instead of the Austrian upou all fortified posts on the Venetian coast. Thc cession of Venetia to France is com plete and definite, apd without any other con dition on the part of Austria except to with draw the guns, arms and all munitions of war found in fortified places. Within forty-eight hours the whole of Venetia will be French Teiritory, and it wjll depend upon the good will ol France tither to keep or to part with it. . ' ' BJIEST, July 7, ISCG. The French iron-clad fleet was to have sail ed from Toulon for the Adriatic this morning in order to take possession of Venice. The general opinion is that Franco will receive Sardinia iu exebauge for Venetia, and will either give that island to the Pope or keep it herself. -Public sentiment approves of the transaction. Although Italy has refused the armistice she has appointed the Marquis de Pepoli Commissioner of the Government, to transact the negotiations relative to the annexation of Venetia to the Kingdom of Victor Emanuel. The disappointment caused at Berlin by tho unexpected cession of Vepelia is intense. In Viesa, especially, great sadness has prevailed, and has demanded that Benedek should bc arraigned. This Geuernl asks for reinforce ments. It is asserted that he is to be super seded by the Arkduke Albert. AUSTRIA DESPERATE. It is the intention of Austria to coniirme ihe war against Prussia, il she perseveres in her pretensions as asserted in her project of Federal Reform communicated to the govern ments of Northern Germany.

He was for a few years' a citizen of Millcdgeville, Ga, but the greater portion of bia life has been spent in this city.

Mr. Dortic has renred a largo family, tho malo members < f tvhich took part iu the. late struggle for Southern inde pendence. A .son and a son-in-law were among the sacrifices helaid on his adopted country's altar.

And on the 29th, Bohemia, the Prussians aro reported to have st fercd a disastrous,defeat. But io. the midst of all this remarkable aclu ty, the tide of luck has turned.

The oad of all this will be, wo are much it clinod to think, the degradation and spoliation i Austria. The fact i.?-as shown from tho begit ning of the existing controversy, commencin with tho Schleswig-Holstein embroglio-and enc ing with Louis Napoleon's proposal for a conf( renee-that Austria has been constantly tho vic lim of tho political machinations of tho ambition diplomats of Europe, and the pivot upon wbic has turned the political wheel of fortune.

Letter from Galveston, Texas. GALVESTON, July ?Ub, 1SGG MR. EDITOR: Thinking perhaps you would Ii to hear a.few items from the Lone Star Stn (which, if. you see proper, you can place in ye paper,) I do mysolf tho honor to write you a sh letter. We are having at present extrcrrely wa weather, but still I do not think we suffer mc from beat here than wo did in Carolina, as have a stiff breeze nearly all the time, especia! at night, which renders our slumbers very plei ant. Oar little City still keeps up a btjsinoss n pearance, considering tho dull summer monti Drays and hacks aro continually rattling by, a men are ever hurrying along the street as if some important errand. With all, Galveston U business place. I baye never been further into tho State th: this City; but I seo merchants and farmers fro tho interior nearly evory day, and of course I e j quire after the crops, as it is essential to every b sine?? for the farmer to be successful. The pe sons from the interior, of whom I havo mai mention, speak oncourag^rigly of the crops. The idea is, that there will be a half crop of Cottc made, if not destroyed by the worms; although great deal has been thrown out on account of tl Boavy and excessive ralr.s and thc non-lribo?ru freedmen. Texas, in my opinion, is a good com try in which to moko money,-provided a perse coming hither bas capital to start upon. If 1 is minus that great essential, I would advise hi to (tay where be is. But perhaps I am a litt .too fast It is possible that it doe} not requiro i much to live on ?a the Ulterior as it does in tb ! City. A person horo can make money at mo I imythiug bu bas n mlo<] to utriko at, if he bu ! as I have said above, capital to start upon. Bi it roquires a good round sum to live on in tb: beautiful and pleasant City. Necessarily E< from the enormous rents which tenant.; are cou pellod to pay. It is this item which causes uiau's pocket to wilt, and not the living alone. We have an excellent marUet.-r-tVh,. beef, ven , mutton, pori;, ail ranging from 10 to 20 cents pe j pound; fish, according to size, frcm 50 cents t $1,50 each ; vegetables in abundance ; and I hav never soon in all my life such quantities of choic melons. But enough of this. I am not ouch of a poli tician, and caro very Unie (ur voting, but I nolie fro?, tho papers that Throckuvjrton is elected Gov I ernor of Texas, on the conscr-alive ticket, for th next term. I suppose ere this roches you, you will havi ; scon later cooounts from Mexico than I can givi ! you. Tho Liborals aro now in possassion of Mat amoras. I have seen lately refugees from Mata amoru?, aud au officer from thc Imperial army I say let.'cm fight. I hope ?ur mail r?.ute will be somewhat shor tsnod by tho re-opening of the Berwick's Boj road which wili sb. :tcn the lime to New Orleam by 24 hours. This, I understand, will go inti effect next week. Your paper will always react us then .iust 2i hours sooner. Thc Adretiisei meets with warm reception from Carolinians herc, every ono of us is cager to get hold of it first, ai if ready to devour paper and print. We all re joice ever to hear from old Edgefield. By thc way, this reminds me of tho sad fate my old ! birth-piace hns met with. It makes mo feel sad i indeed to know how poor Newberry has suffered. Nowa little of ourselves, our whereabouts, con dition, health, ?c. Our friends Dr. J. and Col, ' G. aro very much elated at their fine prospects fora.cotton crop. Their corn crops are splendid, and the grain already nearly hard enough tu make meal. Col. G. says ho has only thirty i 'rcs of corn planted, and he will make more on that than he did on his whole plantation in Edgo ficld'last year. He paid us a visit Inst week, und seemed to bc in fine spirits : his fsciiiyas well as himself wero all well. Mr. M. and Lieut. Jeff N,,-who have been farming on the Trinity this year,-have purchased a place on this .Island, about six miles from the City, where sickness was never known, and where a mosquito cannot get a chance to put his legs down, on account of the incessant breeze which is strong enough to blow a person's feet from under him. Citpt I. A. R., who lat?i'y paid a visit to Edgefield, and who had previous to that time .persuaded one).of ridge field's fairest daughters.to,emigrate to this beau tiful Seaport, continues with J. R. Jaynes A Co. They are very energetic and enterprising gentle men, and are doing a flourishing business.. W. D. J. ft Cn. are still ia existence, and looking hopefully forward to thc fall trndo. Dr. J. nnd family ere all well. And indoed the Carolinians generally are in "good health, and have the ap pearance of being in fine spirits. I-should not forget to mention tho Fourth rn* July in Galveston. The Freedmen made a great display with bannors, sashes, sword?, drums and fife. Oh, parasols, white dresses, frocV coal?, and big dinners, and black nigg'ors and white Yanks ! Yours, truly, J. H.

In t?io present anomalous condition'" of tho | country, caution is necessary that injustice be not done, and prudenco used, so that " whatever plan; of relief bc adopted, thc grcattst,gpod may reach tho greatest number of the people. To nccom plishthis desirable end,, let charity be.' used ; let neighbors wait oh neighbor a reasonable time; and if,. aft?r duo consultation, it ts found that compromisosfuils[oiila specie valuation -qf^the ?r dele lold'ij?a? eua;".y?u must, fue with th?rdistinct und'c'rita?ding, that so-long as the Interest Ls an nually paid" the Principal'caunot fee collected un der ton years time;' in equal installments. Let all debts, both fur reaLaha personal estate, and every other debt put in suit, date from September, 18C5,-tho time our late Convention met. Let all debts come under this rule, for 'twill not do to discriminate, ns wo are equally responsible, hav ing with imparalleled unanimity engaged in the ; late boniest. Now that we have'-suffered defeat, j let us at least he just -lo each other,-and with j tho samo unanimity share the conaequenocs.

Let "ns now demand relief, which can be had by giv ing time, a breathing spell is what wc want, and it is what we must havo. Some may think the time indicated is too long. Not so,-'twill tnke all of that time to (in some measure) bring thc country back to its former prosperity. Daring tho last five years, little, or no cotton was made, and now that we have a new and not very profita ble kind of labor to manage, money cannot be rando with the same-facility as formerly,-conse quently debt? cannot bo pnid ns easily.

For the Advertiser. Mass Meeting nt Woodville Academy. According to previous notice, on Saturday, the 14th inst., a large number of the citizens of Abbe ville and Edgefield held a meeting at Woodville Academy. Mr. JOHNSON SALE, an old and prominent citi zen, was called to the chair, and Mr. J. P. TAL DE HT requested to act as Socretary. The Chairman, in a few brief and appropriate remarks, stated the object of the meeting to b* the consideration of the present embarrassed con dition of the country in consequence of its in debtedness. Os motion, the following Committee of Twen ty-two was appointed) consisting of prominent citizens of both Edge?<l3 and Abbeville, to draft '.Resolutions for the occasion, and withdrew tu i deliberate,.viz : Maj. Leland, Irwin Hutchinson, H. W. Stallworth, Capt. James Dorn, Kev. J. P. Dodie, J. S. Chiploy, Thomas Chatham, N. Hen derson, J. H. Wideman, S. P. Boozer, L. H. Ry kard, G. W. Tolbert, Capt, J. W. Perrin, Charles May, Dr. John Maxwell, Maj. Lagrone, M. Jor dan, Col. Wm. Quattlebaum, F. W. Andrews, Dr. Thomas Lake, Maj. P. McKcllar, M. W. Coleman, Maj. ABNEY, of Edgefield, being called on, ad dressed the meeting upon the business before it. By a happy exordium, he enlisted the undivided attention of the meeting, and retained it with in creased intensity through his entire speech, which was replete with sound views, sound argument, and genuine eloquence. Dr. LANIHULI, of Edgefield, (immediate repre sentative,) being introduced, spoke in a calm, cleat cogent and conclusive manner, fellowed by Rev. J. P. BOOIE, of E "gefield, who admonished the peo ple to he vigilant of their true interests, and ex horted to mutual forbearance and to a liberal spirit of compromise in adjusting the balance be tween the debtor and creditor. Gen. GILLAM, of Abbeville, made some well-tim ed remarks upon the condition of the country, and the numerous suggestions and remedies that had bcon proposed to the meeting, but confessed . his utter inability to solve so complicated a mat. ter ; urged upon the people the imperative neces sity of casting about them for a suitable nominee to represent them in the great National harmon izing Convention soon to assemble in Philadel phia. After the Committee had conclnded its consul tations, tho following preamble and resolutions, being lead and submitted to the meeting, were unanimously adopted : The Committee of Twenty-two, appointed by tho Chair to prepare aseries of resolutions for the action of this meeting, respectfully report That they appreciate tho grave responsibility of advising any action in the present distressed and distracted condition of our country, and Lave given the subject submitted to them as careful consideration as the limited time would admit. They find our people in an anomalous condition -probably unprecedented in the history of civil I izid paiionsi While *he " Stay Law" was in forci? i our moons nero being constantly drained by ap peals to our patriotism, and by our own military laws. This was on tho part of our own State. On the cessation of httftilitios, by an amendment to the Constitution of tho Urdtod States, incorpora ted into our own Constitution, wo wore suddenly ! doprived of three-fourths of our property without : compensation. Not many months after this tho "Stay Law," on tho proteciion of which wo bad been relying for tho p:ist four yoars, was ns suddenly repealed by tho decision of the Court of tho highest ap pellate jurisdiction in this State. As law-abiding citizens, wo ncquies<j in this decision without the ; slightest murmur against the wisdom or integrity of that high tribunal. Still, for no individual ac tion, either of carelessness, extravagance or fraud, wo find ourselves w bolly unable to meet our pe cuniary obligations, intered into when circu?a- j stances were vastly diC.-rent from the present Thorefore, as we have beer reduced to our present condition of helplessness by obeying the calla and laws of our beloved State, we confidently look to our Legislature for such measures of relief a's their wisdom can devise, aad also to a spirit of mutual forboaranco and compromise cn the part of fellow-citizens now struggling in the samo com mon wreck. Therefore, Resolved, That the Governor be requested to convono the Legislature iu extra session nt as early a date as practicable, to consider some mea sure or measures of relief for both . creditor and j debtor. Resolved, That until tho Legislature can act in the promises, wo earnestly recommend to our fel low-citizens a spirit of mutual forbearance and constant efforts os far a* practicable to adjust their mutual claims in a spirit of liberal compromise. Rcsolced, That a copy of this report and reso lutions bo sont to the Governor of the State, and that they ho published in the Edgefield nnd Ab beville papers. . - ?- ? ?

DEATH AT THE COMMUNION TABLE;-The | Syracuse, N. Y., Journal relates the particu lars of the death of an aged lady which oc curred in that city a few Sabbaths ago. Mrs. Sarah Higgins,-aged seventy-eight years; went to the -Park Presbyterian Church, -attended by her daughter. She took her seat,. and while the pastor was reading the opening byran, " Rock of Ages," Mrs. H. fell from her spat, without a moment'? warning that the messenger, was near. -? _*> -_ #&* A furoign correspondent says : It is ru mored that General Beauregard has been offered a very high position in the Italian army. A gen tleman of position, to whom this was mentioned tho other day, exclaimed j " If1 so? there would be some hope for Italy 1" Evidently, the name of Beauregard inspired more confidence than Hut of j GarifaUiJ To the'-Citiz?ns of thp/FoarthXoiigres sional District. ' Tho "Executive Committee ut tb? National \ > . Union'Club" have issued their proclamation fora National Union Convention to be held in Phila delphia, on the Nth of August next. Under in structions from Head Quarters, thc political satraps throughout tie South have called upon their fel low-citizens to respond. We simply,'desire to call attention to the two ; oiots-.involVed in this matter which, in pur?r days,-'and when the times were less disjointed, were regarded as intimately connected : The 1st is principle; the 2d is policy. A few quotations from the manifesto of the " Executive Committee;" and from the "Platform," with a running commentary thereon, will suffice. "The Union ef thVStates is, m every catf, in dissoluble, and is perpetual.'' Aiterm.ak.ing one of the most gigantic struggles the world haa ever witnessed, to withdraw ourselves from thc Union, might there not exist tome dauLtjn the minds of tho er?AiW??,**a 10 our sincerity in adopting this proposition ? " There is no right, anywhere, to dissolve the Union, orto separate States from the Union.' What is the logical consequence of adopting this proposition, but thai'we have been traitors to the Governmont, and stand condemned through our own confession ? " All such electors, who, in a spiritof patriot ?em and lore for the'Vnion, "aro especially requested to tako part in the 'choice of such delegates." Mark -yon, tho conditions, and oak yourselves when, and from what cause sprung this love for tho Union. Can it be that from repeated chas tisement, we finally have come to love the rod ? " Eat no delegate will take a seat in such Con vention who does not loyally accept the national ' situation, and cordially endorse^ the principles above set forth." If this simply meana that we shall acknowledge that we have been conquered, there is no groat difficulty involved-the only thing is, that the repetition of the confession is becoming uninteresting; but if it is intended that we shall express our admiration of thc manner ki which it waa accomplished, and to say we deserted it, is wo think, ra'hcr unkind-asking rather tco much yet awhile. But bear thc 8th Resolution of the Platform : " Treason is a crime that should bo punished, and '.hat we are opposed to compromising with traitors ny bartering 'universal J?mnesty' for 'universal .uffrago.'" Tobe subdued is bad enough, tobe forced to crypeccavi isjw?r?c; tobe aiked to pass ?entonce of outlawry upon ourselves, smacks of degradation. If there is a man in South Caroli na who can go into the Philadelphia Convention iud subscribe to this Resolution, his. face must te oast in brass. " That the nation owes a lasting debt of gr?ti cudc to the soldiers and' sailors of ibo late war for the suppression of the rebellion." Must we coally be grateful to thea* same soldiers and, Bailors? This looks Ycry much-liko getting up from the dust, palling off your hat, nnd politely t hanking the man who had just given you a good thrashing. But we are- soothingly told by the distinguished Vice-President of the Club for this .State, that South Carolina can-subscribe in honor '?nd ?ins.cr it ?j to all the principles contained in the Address of the Executive Committee. While wo thank you Mr. Vice-Premdont, for your opin ion, we_ must respectfully decline to submit our conscience, to your guidance. We doubt your power of absolution. A word as to policy. Expediency and policy a re the watchwords that have passed current, from tie highest to the pettiest officer in the State, V hile moral courage and true manhood are at a discount." We bavu been advised to submit to our wrongs,' to raise no issues, and to conciliate oar masters ; implored not to express onr approbation ii : the President's veto in too strong and emphatic language, for fear of further enraging the Radicals ?hereby. I/o' not the Radic?la look upon the G ovorno?.ent as peculiarly their own, and hare they nttt made their pr?tentions good thereto ? Will they not regard our entrance into the Con vcat'on, as a piece of presumption, as a political invasion, and enable them to sweep tho country itv. their hue and. cry against us ? -We have re ceived a reprieve only, and not a pardon from the dominant party. Wo still standet the bar, and I xny effort to escape "will increase the severity of mr punishment. If thc doctrine of policy which' ?las been drummed into our ears by State officials .?nd leading men bas been correct, why discard it now ? The Conservative, mon at the North surely know that they will get our support without a Convention; it must be equally potent that our demonstrations and sympathy for them, or their measures, ?8 tho only one thing needful to Radi cal success. If the political clouds have begnn to put forth their silver linings to the view of our politicians, let them point the direction, that we rn.iy look and ?>c comforted. X. Y. Z.
