Ls this jpolitld I The above extract we' lip from the Pairf6t. Unfortunpti,ly, tho: Pablr'.t, like every other paperitlat ha. conie to os advocating otir represmtation in tho Convention, advances its idea of the nature of the a II 'for the Convention, based upou its, ifingiiatiqu,,autj .then' goes into 0 hom ily upon that idea The Ptriot jmtyiu see a ."duty" and an "interest" ill our )Ieceoptilg the in vitation tb Ao to Philadelphia,'bt for the of lifu us we iannot. And as for "re fusing every overture for hiA (our) welfaro, we assure the Parit'ot that we demur to Ao brond an applieati(-n of its ideaof the iin itt iou to atten)d1 that Convention. As to "some" of that freedom and liberty of Which the P(tri" speaks, we assil re our contem liorary that we desire all of it we can fget. We will Submit to the candid con sideration of the / utrt our reasons for opposing, not the Colivelition, bit our sndin,g any elegates there, an we ask that paper to give those rea I.)s4 Calmi eonideration before charg. ing us with "rejecting every over ture" 1. The first fact is that a Convcn tionl has1 beenl Calld to mleet inl Phila delphia on the 14th of .\uguit 2. The second is tha i, liae hold prollillgated to us4, ot S o1-th 0,1inii , four official paiers bi refencive tW. Said Convent ioq). (1.) T1h Oli-eii "Oal' (2.) The Address of the Deiojcratio t1ongressmnen . (3.) 'The latf'ormi ot the Nat ionial I nioni Club. (4.) The Adudress ofi Vice-Pl.resident ( )nn to the People of South Carolina. After the aunuvnueemnent of thoee facts, the first thing' to nlotice is, who are invit,ed ? We confess when we be gen to read the Oflii Call, and had finiished the sceonii paragraph, we did feel rojoiced..thaut steps weFe Ganot to be taken to unite the inases~ of th'e North and Routh in sober delibera thon. Heord l the secondl paragraph. of that Cali: "Such delegwatch wIll 1 e chos'en hy' "the electors of the severaml tates wo "su.ais the M4minisitratioin llmain "tauining unbroken tile Union of' thie "States uinider the (hmstituntion wrhieb.h "our' fathers estabisahedl."

'fBut' no delegate will,take. a e-i "such 'Unvention, who (does not loyanl* "ly pmceopt the nutcleial sIttantion~ and~ "eofdui%ly enude r,e the princ?iles ibot a' "se't forth,.anld who isnrot attached iti "1tion, the Ulionl11 and t GoverNmnent "'uf the United Stat.

And are attached in true alle gincec to the Constlti i In tho Union d'4t?ie-T hhjndit of tle United States. It by "nationa.,situation" is meant thaout of .th; war,-i. c..thc aboli tion of slavery and the supromaey of tht Veddritl Govet-nment, wC' conld ac i(-t e the invitation on that score. We readily accede to the third restric ti*u, because we have all taken the oath of allegianloo to that effect. tt it is in the second restriction that wfAind'c'vcry reason to object to the Cull and no 0,0 who sces the matter in the light wo do can heartily sanction the moVe to elect delegates to the Conven tioti. VC Ilay Inliscilstrit the * 0hole nliatter but our view is the result of honest conviction, and we hope the /'udriot will at least give us credit for that; much. Aiid our view of the ina t1i'd of that Convention and of the object it has In the futuire is dra1-wii from.n tl duIents issuved by its ud vOc.Ites and priao movors, It will be locosary first however to define th tht-ce leading political (ho trines' now ext'iit throughot the United %States. Th .first.is-that of tho.uncondition al Union men, suh as ex-Governor iHOL)EX of North Carolinn. All the 11adical.4 entforso this. The second is that of the Test Oath Conistit ut io'al Union Inmen, Suolh as WILTAAhl 11. SEWAIn. Nearly eVley Democratic member . of Congris en-. dorses liis doctrine. The third is that of the anti-Test Oath Constit ut ionll.1 Uniion inen, snch as ex-Governor P:nny. Evary Irouk nent man in jXonth Carolina endorses this doctrilne. Now under which (if these three doctrines is the Call for a National union Convention issued ? If wo can an.iwer thik, wY can thlu tdll p1r6isely who are expmeted to go to Philadl. phia, and who aro not. expected to go there.
