In spite of the ohjootinn of the Now York
World, the dctnnora. by their members of
Conjrrcsa. have- acwptcil nnd adopted tlio na
tional Union convention at l'liilad.-lphia in An
gus!. This (fives its constituency at onoo,
and to n great extent determines it, cliaractor,
and that of the party organiiatinn to ho tlien
and there estalilitlied. As a convention of
those who, heretofore acting with the repub
lican pnrty, have now determined to leave it,
and ret np a new standard, it" promised, even
will) the prestige and power of the administra
tion. to be bnt an insignificant and unimportant
gathering. But as the coming tngetjior of all
tlie elements of tho beaten nnd defunct ileum
emtio party, North and South, and such of the
ropnlilicnna, as, through sympathy or selllsh
noas, follow tho lead of tho president, and their
united organization of anew pnrty. based np
on the immediate admission of the southern
states to Congress, and the acceptance of tlie
work of reconstruction as nlrendy done buck
ed by rll the moral influence and material
nntrnliago of the administration. nnl joined in
hy nil the defeated political and personal, sec
tional and social elements in ths late national
struggle, it assumes a movement of tho first
political and party impnrlnnoe. r i
In tho first place, it will command the tup
port ot all the state lately in rebellion. Its
platform must iieceFMirily lie in advance of the
present Union sriiiiment. of f heir defeated
polilicans ; bnt as surely it will be more gene
rous to them than that nf the republicans ; it
will furnish them their best and only opportu
nity fur re establishment in position and pow
er; ami they will greedily accept, it. Then,
looking "at the iiresidertnl vote of 18fi4. we
shall see that a change of 2500 votes from 44.
501) in Connecticut, 4000 from 38.400 in New
Hampshire, 7000 from 368,700 in New York,
21.000 from 2!)U,4IK) in Pennsylvania. 00.000
rnini 205.800 in Ohio. 7500 from 40.100 in
MarVlnnd, 20,500 Irom . 10.500 in Indiana, nnd
31.000 from 18!,5O0 in Illinois, would reduce
the republican parly to a minority iu nil these
ftates, nnd give the snpremniy tn tlie recoil.
sU'ueled democracy and their nlltes.
Surely, with Iho war ended and slavery
abolished, and a common desire for reconcilia
tion the Union over; with republican senator
and oabiuel ollicers, certainly prominent re
publican citizens, in all these stales, lending
in tho new movement, and wielding the patron
age of (he mil tonal government tlirnueh nil
their precincts, it is not nnrensomib'e for the
friends nf the Philadelphia convention, in its
new aspeols, to hope, or for il wife opponents'.
lo fear, that it will inaugurate an orgntiirnliiin
mm can stoutly dispute possession nl the next
Congress, and lay strong claim to the succeed
ing administration It is idle, indeed, to deny
this portent and promise of tlie sittintinii.
Tho country never would have given hack the
control of its politics to tlio old democratic par
ty, nnd its false and traitorous leadirst lint
thus re organized and led hy men. who were
conspicuous in iha Union ranks, in field nnd
lorni, nil during Iho war. they will prove on
despicable foe to the republicans.
The final determination of Mr. Johnson nnd
his supporters to lend off iu this direction, and
seek tliis cnmhitinlinii, we think wits recent and
sudden. It was signalled by Iih unexpected
and uncalled-for pronuiuiianietilo nguiunt the
congressional constitutional amendment; which
was speedily billowed by the i-videiitlr hastily
written nnd ortnle nnd uninspiring cull for the
convention nt Philadelphia. binh which fell
upou an unprepared-and unsyiiipnthizing pub
lic., and only nssiimed Ibeir real import nnd
importance, when the democratic lenders nt
Washington interpreted the one. and embraced
iho other. For up tn the iiiciiictit nf this veto
message ngninst notion null which the execu
tive hue no ollicnil pari. I lie enursii ol things
in Congress seenicd to be aeci'tited bv -lii
friends as lending lo and promising reconcilia
tion. The a ndinent, as Kniillr perfected.

same touulniu; but now die totinlry sees the
method iu (lie presidential madness and llie
reconstructed and reinforced deituwracy. to be
formed aud fashioned ut Philadelphia' iu Au
gust, is the explanation. ,
As (lie elements, South nnd North, that will
be gathered into this new and hopeful organiz

main lunly of the republican party, m making
isrue willi this formidable opponent, find it in
onmbeiit upon them to deal more broadly nnd
gfiicrou-ly uud even more courageously with
llie pructioul question, now In uispule in our
politics. Upon the pending conslitulionnl
amendment, and its confirmation before nuv
southern slate can be admitted lo congress, they
are more likely In be beaten Ibantnain. Its
issues aro not hroad and practical eiiongli lo
stunil against the weight of itilluetice nnd feel

II not both of two thing the republican in

ing spirit tn loyal representatives and ennstitu
eucies in the South, and thus brink at the
start the strung issue of the Jidinroiiian dciiio

It lend and allies for themselves in the sou 111-

uf in partial snlfiage for the whole nation that
is, suiirage alike lor ine negro snd whiles. J
If they mil not do the first, lliey the more Cer
tuinly should do the lust, for if they w i;l njt-ct
llie voice of prudence and taut they should ac
cept that uf principle aud justice. II they art;
going forth to deleat, tiny should look to a
resurrection. Negro suffrage will be put upon
I lie in by their opponents in its most olfeioire
shape, and he ufadc a potent rallying cry
against their candidates everywhere. They
had best founder w hetber it be out w iso Iu
make, llie issue for themselves, and in such
lurm a will stand discussion and time, and
eventually lead to victory.
At any rate let not the republicans In Con
gress or out, who propose, tu stnud by tho old
banner. Slid nut give up the u dde organization
that ha led the Nation out of Slavery, through

quently denied, that the Radical leaders whom
Congress has folloiVed during much of the
present session, were plotting deliberately lo

and Government, whereby slavery was abol

isliing shivery, and also the amendment pro- i'
posed by the Thirty ninth Cungresa, and baa ,

"Keiohed by Ihu Senate ami linnet, of Hop. ""r

hereby restnred lo her former polltionl relattoaa .i
to the Union, and Is again entitled to ho rep. , -resented
by Senators and llcprusetitatives la "
Congress."' - ;
The preamble consists merely of statement, 1
snnieof which aro nuiucd, while the rosnlo- ' I
lion is merely u declaration of opinion. It '
comprises no legislaiion. nor dues it confer any
power which is hiiidmg upon the rospcotive I '.
nouses, the Executive or IIm States. It doe ,i-;
not admit tn llieir seats in Congress iho Sena ,
tors and liepreseiiliitives from tho State of i
Tcnnissee, for t'otnithslandiiig tlie passage of
llu resolution, each house, iu tho exoroise of .to ;
llie colislillillonal right lo Judge lor itself of .
Ihe eleoliun rtlurus ami qualiliuiilions of It
inember. may nt its discretion admit them or ,
continue lo exclude thi iu. If a joint resohl-
lion of Ibis character were necessary and binds' i
ing ns a condition precedent to tho ml mission '
of members of Congress, it would happen in .m r
the event of a veto by the Executive that Sen- i
mors and licprescntatives ouiild only be admit . '
led tn the halls of Congress by a Iwu lhirds -
vote of eoch uf Iho two houses.
Among other reasons recited in the pream
hie for Ihe declaration! contained in theresolu-
lion, is the ratification hy Ihe State Govern "
. ment nf Trnncsseo of the aincndrnent to Iho
Constitution of tho Uuited States abolishing
slavery, and sUo tho amendment pre posed by . .
Iho Thirty-iiinlli Congress. If. as it is al- j -so
declared in the preamble, the raid 8tata - '
(joveriiinetit can only he restnred to its former
political reliilions iu ih Union by the eooient :
nf Ihe law-ntnking power of Ihe United State, - l
it would really seem to follow that the joint -resolution
which nt Ibis latu day baa reooived
Ihu sanction of Congress, should have been -it
liaised, approved aud placed in Ihe statola .-'
hook before any amendment lo the Constitu-
lion was submilied lo Iho Legislature of Tea ,'
ueisee lor ratification. Otherwise, the infer
etico is plainly rfeducible thai, while in tho
opinion ol Congress tho people of a State may
bu too strongly disloyal tu be entitled to rep.
resciitnliiin, lliey. iiiy. nevertheless, during the -
suspension of their former practical reunion ,
lo (he Union, have an equally potent voir .
with other and loyal States in propositions to
amend Ihe Constilutinn npon which so essen ; -limly
depend tho stability, prosperity and
very exislenco of the nation. .
A biu'f r.'lercnc.e .to uiy annaal message of
tho 4th of December last will rlmw the step ,
taken by Ihe Executive for the restoration lo .
their constitutional relations of the Slates that "
hnd been iifTcc'cd by the rebellion. Upon the ,
joessiiliou of active hoslililie. Pruvislonal Gov
ernor wjre appointed, Courentinus called, "
Governors elected by tlie people. Legislature
assembled, nnd Senators and Itcprescntnlivea '
chosen lo the l,'ol gre.s of Ihe 1'oiled Slale. '
At Iho same tinio the Coutl of tho Uuited
Stalls weru opened, the hbakado removed.
Iho Custom-houses re established and postal
nperiilioiis resumed. The amendment to Ibe
Constitution abolishing slavery forever within '
tho limits of Ihv country was also submitted to
Iho Sinless, and they Here thus invited lo and
did participato iu a tatifieal ion, thus exercising .
llie highest functisns peiumii g to a Siato.
In addition, nearly nil of these States,
through ter Conventions and Legislature bad
adopted uud ratili-d their Constitutions and '
form of government whereby slavery wns abol
ished, and all ordiunnuesaud laws of secession,
and debt contracted under the same, were de- '
dared null an I Void. So far Iho practical ef
istcnue of llie St it.-e and their relations to tho '
Federal Government had been filly and com
