Coa's Offlee.12 June, 1866, The Philaaelphia wonventiOn. The Philadelphia Age says: We are inclined to regard the project of a National Convention.. i. August with more favor than seems to be extended, to it by some of our-party friends; and it is due to candor and fair dealing tbat we should say wby. No one will for a moment imagine that we have the faintest wish or hope for the disorganization' or modification of the great :party-to which we. belong, either, locally, where it is complete, or. nationally, where it soon will be. But with this unwavering fidelity is entirely consistent a desire: to see agencies outside the Democratic party, which indirectly may promote the maintenance and reassertions of the principles, which if even the epublic rights, must be reasserted. A National Convention of any kind likely to assemble, must be important and an imposing body-as, being the first body in which for five, or indeed six years, the Southern States have been. represented. Their presence here, after all this- frightful war and bloodshed, after this rupture of all ties, social, ecclesiastical, political, will be pictnresque. It is worse than idle to underrate the importance of such a council or such an event. Our opponents feel this, and hence their studious efforts to dis parage it. This, too, seems to be the idea of some of our New York friends. For ourselves, seeing no harm and much probable good in it, we do not hesitate to say, that the consummation in this initiatory plan of restoration, -or reconstruction, or reassociatyon, will be matter to us, as Democrats, of sincere rejoicing, and the Radicals may think and say exactly what they please about this clear and frank expression of our views. The heathens will rage anyhow. We favor this Convention. rhere Is nothing or little in what we may describe as its preliminary platform that repels us. The Convention implies no derangement of the political organization to which we belong, and are proud to belong. Inf deed, it strengthens it. Let it meet. Let every Congressional district of the North be represent ed, and then let it, as it certainly will, give a grand example to Congress, in session or out of session, of admitting representatives from all the Southern States, and deliberating with them, their ateient friends, their brethren yet. Let them admit them with generous confidence and without the wretched consciencE-traps of oaths of abjuration and supremacy. Thus 'deliberting, we doubt not of the result in theory and practice. The sight of the Southern men in council with the North as equals will invigorate the truly na tional spirit everywhere. Philadelphia in 186 will be as Philadelpia in 1787. Christ Church bells will ring as they used long ago to do, not for bloody victories in a civil war, but for the new creation of a nation and the resurrection of a Federal Union. Practically, a Convention thus animated and thus deliberating, will, for the ma chinery by which its patriotic designs are to be carried into effect, rely mainly, though not of ne cessity exclusively, on the great and compact or ganization of the State Right Democracy, now as ever the true supporters of the Union. - Hence we wish the Convention sucess. MINCE MEAT.-A man was found dead on the levee at Louisville on the 23d, with one hundred and ten stabs in his body. His ears were cut off, both eyes were torn out and the body .was other wise frightfully mutilated. The case is involved in much mystery. The body is not yet identified. Governor Patton, in his late letter to Congress, makes the startling announcement that there are fully twenty thousand widows and sixty thousand orphans (whites) in Alabama, and three-fourths of them are destitute. Prentice says that the Southern States are better represented in Congress now than some of the Northern States, for the reason that non-represen tation is better than misrepresentation. Tis is literally and rigidly true. GEORGMTOWNI RAILOD.--The citizens of Georgetown have determined to subscribe $100. 000 to the Georgetown Railroad. Well done 3
