A review of Northern assertions and Southern facts. By Dr. D. N. TREZUNANT." It is an interesting pamphlet of 32 pages, and stamps SIIERMAN as the great incendiary of Coluinbia. Price 25 cents. Stay LOws, We direct especial attention to ihe article under the ablove caption plb lished to-day and takzen frot the Co lumbia Phwnir of Fridy. Brief as it is it is a most hticid, compact and cogent exposition of tle <piestion and a forcible statement of* bitlh tho ille gality and inlexpediency of Legislative intrusionl in tie ca.e. Iefo:e this su' ject becomes a practical issue jtist such views as those contained' in this extract, deserve ti be- carefully pon dered over by every man in the Dis trict. The great VeNt has iapenied. Whether it will brinlulforth tihe fruIits expect( y. its advocates, a few 111011ths tVill decide. WeV opposed it in its ircipiielncy al in its prognssivke formatioh. We bhjlicved it tiwise aRd impolitic for the Soutli to coin mit herself. Th\e Rubicon is now passed, however, and while Nve are still doubtful of the issue it may spring upon us, we will 'tid as far as our hiuible inilleee goes any whole some tendencies that may result froi: the Philadelphia Convention. We :uare not disappointed that the Conven tion incorporated soic of the very objectionable featmies to whichI we so often directed attention, and which formed a pdrt of that very National Union Club upon which we announced the call was made. There are numbers of its who will a111V,lys congratulate ourselves that no vote of ours helped to form that Con velt ion, but we did not expect to finid sueh friends of tle measure as tlie Colui.-i ia Plnix raising serious oh joetimiq to th- litol", epi., e of!C ('1 h Carln11- anl" f:fhset oilv i% "o the wigwam in fonld 0em1race.

But not even for this wl n1 w ithi hold our sanction froni er'rything that may grow out of the Convention. We disclaim any part or lot however in that act. Wec hope the v'ery huighes.t expecta tions of the miiost sirngine fricids of it may be realired. None will e gratified more thani we, at such a re suit. If its ma in object, thle defeait of the Radicals, lie effected, wihile we shl ever repudiate the priinciples de gradintg to us, upon which the C~onvenc tion was called, we mays~ not regret that it met, McC.

The New York llorldstates that a combinition of capitalists in New York have bought $6,000,000 in gold, and intend to buy more, in order to run up the price when there is a favor able opportunity.

Belgiani towns of Charlemiont, A,adenburg und ciiitmay." The territory clained by Napolon is priticipally PrusKian, aid is in itself too insignificait to eibar rass thome who are soon to meet for the purpose of carving and dismembe, ing kingd-ms as if they were turkeys or jiiensants. It is twribly significalt, iowever, as the protest of the French Emperor against the design of Prus sia, after ejecting Austria from the Germain Coifederation to- moke her stlf imistrecs of the whole of Geirmian1iiv. It is a mortal blow aimed at Couit Bismark, at thei moinent when ie saw no obstacle in the way following up the giat Pruvsialn victory at Sadowa with the tnost glorious results for his country. Napoleon holds, we suspect, a very strong haid. .I is demand for this part of Germian territory, which Napoleon I. added to France, is simply a polite form of fitimation to Prussia that lie does not iintend that the plains of Count Bismarek shall be ci rried out. W I ol lie destroys the proosed unity of all Gerimianly with Pruii%zSia uis the ruling power, lie snatih-es 'ron the Pru:,siams the iost tempting and valuable fruit of their late victories.
