Who Arc the lievolutlonlsta f from the Tribune. If the pui tlHBOB of tbp President had under taken po more thnn to prove that the martyred Convention at New Orleans was simply illegal, they might have escaped the reproach which the outrnged conscience of the land, reiwjnintr from the manifest rieht of every citizcu to be loyal and free-spoken above all things, casts upon every ader and abettor, by word or deed, of the atrocious slaughter in that city, lint the chosen organs of the (ioverumont hare thought it wlao to npptove and defend by Implication the murder of nearly forty men of undoubted loyalty, and the wounding of more than a hun dred others as good, In aoue-sided butchery, the iioiccst of any known in a Southern city. How hard it Is to prove that the police of New Orleans, led ou by notorious Kebels, under command of the vindictive traitor Monroe, were only so many lunibs outride in the street, using their revolvers Hgainst so many wolves penned in the Convention room, may be imagined; but even tlitr. bus been attempted. Wliut a terrible rolling of argument up hi'l to show that nil the murdeieil and nmrtyred men, kuiled, clubbed, and shot lying out in the CoroiiLrV rooms, with, no Itebel dead toolset them were lcvolutionists aLU couspirntors ! What should be the inference? Simply this: that Rebels and desperadoes, whose numes were bywoids in NewOrleuns; sworu champiou j of din lwjitltv, whose ucqniesceiice In a forced situation 1h 'hardly a year old; rulers of New Orleans wliea it was the "most proiliuate. violent, and re!ruc tory city iu the world; men of the class whcue counsels have encouraged the outrage and kill inn ol while and black Unionist sin every county of Louisiana; that these men au'l their confede rates in authority were the rishteous upholders of the law, aud the preservers of the peauo ! Who is tool enough to believe it? If the autno ritie.s ol a great city buve one responsibility more than another, it is to save lile. The butchers of Ni-w oilcans slew nearly two score of men with out mercy. The sorihcrn encraiesol freedom at the South hnve not cea-ed to pour out scorn and abuse ol the men who lost iheir lives lor ihe same cause in New Orle ans, as that lor which men uo more noble lain dovn theirs on buttlc-tields a htMe inore tluinayear iijm. We are told that the men of the Convention bciran the rioting. We know the assertion to be uhiolutU.v tulse. It is i-aid thiit, at the meeting lield belorc the Con vention, every i-peaki r liiduk'ed in incon hary language; but, ou lelernng to the reports, we lounil (hut the most suspicious terms employed were but a reply to dad.y threat", and sucii an appeal to the tlolenp of civil lights as has been oiten beam with no bud results. We re told tniu tue I'niouisrs ijosup, iienuerson, una me. Rev. Mr. Ilorion were either lunatics or m n of uo standing, r.ibcit, they died tinn in their iaith ol Ireedrin to (he last . l)0's the lunacy of the victim iustitj murder? Or are lovul lunatics any worse than convict Rebels? Would these panic crazy men, or any body of rttd'culs and fanatics in tho land, bitter as the provocarioa might be, have allowed a Rebel Convention, to assemble in a pu'Jlie hall in order to kill it oue 'by one? Whut journal iu the North', friend or 1oe, would not have declared its horror aiid dis gust? Ilawiau's butcheries, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the Memphis riots, and the massacre at New Orleans, are things which do not admit ot apology. It was to be expected, of course, that the organs of the Government would be ready to incriminate Congress for the alul and bloody blunder ot the Presidential instructions ro the rioting power at New Orleans. Congress and the slaughtered Unionists were, a ter all, the conspirators, and the Rebels nud ncgro-hufers were lor once loalists. What is loyalty? should we admit that General Slier dan was correct in anvinir that the leaders ot the Conven tion were pol.rical acitators and revolutionary men, and ought to have been arrested, we have ptill bis own word for it that their cruel butchery was without excuse, and that the prime-mover of all the horrible work was "a bad man." Nothing more is wanted to sei at ret all judg ment as to the nature ot the riot itself; but (lie Jjjnes ol this city and the Intelligencer of Wash ington botn intimately related to the Govern ment continue the absurd and infamous work ot slandering the dead. General SUindan to the contrary not with ptaLdmg, the legality of the New Orleans Con vention was ar d is a moo'cd question among the people and their authorities oue to bs de termined by the Courts or Cnncress of the United States, and not by the Rebel Mayor of .'jNew Orleans. General Ranks, who ordered the election and original assembling of (he Conven tion under military order, declares that it was legal; and, morally, no higoer authority has BpMkcu. The State Government ot Virginia was erected by the same military authority, and the Convention ot Alexandria met and reihet m 1SU3 and 1HG4, and tiuully amended and remodeled the Constitution which now governs the whole State, but whatever be the truth as to the question ol legality (and the Convention seeuis to have a burden of olllcial proof ou its side in the testiD'ony ol General Ranks and of.Governor WcIls).VtC hold that the President might as con sistently reopen Rebel insurrection through the Bouth, as have promoted the undoing ot his o vu work by means ot the subversive telegrams ad dressed to the organizers of the riot iu New Orleans. lie will find that, from Virginia to Txas, Southern ludges are ready todispu'.e the legality of such enforced Conventions and Leuislatures as have amended thoir State Constitutions by direction ol the President himself. Ho may find that his own power iu the premises to convene and legitimatize the late insurgent States, with out the concurrence ot Congress, was more than a. mooted ouestiou. We hope ho will yet understand that his blunder tumbling down a Htaus of his own recoanition. along with the iovernr elected bv its DeoDle. was. alter all. the worst offense which he co aid commit against his own theoiy of government. He, indeed, the I'resident of thn Un fed Sia'es, was the only overt revolutionist, and that. too. Dv his own eelf conviction, in the events of the dreadful day in New Orleans. He it was who deposed a Governor, and directly and rudely Interfered lu the affairs of what ho is pleased to term "a sovereign State." The loyalists, with the supreme power ot the State on their side, accomplished so overthrow, but were, tniinks to tne 1'resi dant. bloodily overthrown. The Rebelsol New Orleans have not concealed their opluh.n that the very government under which Maor Ir'onroa acted out the not was itsell illegal. If we believed the press of New Orleans. (Jovernor Wells, ndmluisteriuir a Con stitution written down at the bavonet-noiut, has no more right to public recoemtion than (ho Louisiana Convention. According to Chi Justice Ruflin, ot Noitn Carolina, the Conven tion and the new Constitution of that 8tate are alike Illegitimate; rresiuoni Johuson was a despot, and Governor Ilolden his usurping agent. Take tue teoei voice lor it, and Gov ernor Pierpoint, of Virginia, Governor Holdon, of North Carolina, ana uovernor wen, of Lout si an a. had no more right to ruie turn the Con ventious of those States had to make laws. But Rebels or ex Rebels are willing to take the President's word for their law, and so "accent the situation." in (he cheeiful belict that the Government Is doing all tor them that It can. They have ceased to inquire whut is legiti mate, except when loyal men demand eipaal rights, at least, with the recreants and mis creants of the land; and they have uo scruple, according to their own showimr, to use illegal -weapons in the tnterebt ot disloyalty to extermi nate an illegal convention in the interests of freedom. Well, we have yet to be informed that lionet and loyal men have lea riirht to meet &ud declare their views thai perjured and unrepentant Robols have to voto. Is loyalty to be rewarded only by the bullet, while trea son is honored by (he ballot f Herein is the epitome of the President's own plan of recon struction; and history will hold him to it, that he actually undid his own work, trampled on his own theory, and confessedly went out of his own way to put his foot, as it hnpnt-ned, ou fhe dead bodies of the men whose worst crlm.3 In the eyes of their enemies was a loyally and devotion to the flag contemporary with h's own. It he had anaht to nullity the Government of Louisiana, and make its worst Keonl the ar biter ot its most important crisis, he has also a right to overturn every Constitution Irotn Vir ginia to Texas, notwithstanding his own thousand-times asseverated conviction that States are sacred. He has shown his rnistriiBt alike of the law of Ihe laud, of IU law-making power, and ol the doctrine which beset up for himself, lie Interfered to makos ire of thn late of the New Orleans Convention, long bctoro any Court ol hieh authority, or the legislative and judicial branches of the Government were appealed to for decision. It is not time for the President and his orcans to accuse Confrrcs", after he has condemned himself. He cannot escape the odium and the consequences of his bad act. Let ua take hope at la-t from Dostle's grave, Monroe's crime, and the President's blunder. The Philadelphia Convention. From the 1 imes. The Philadelphia Convention is now only a week ofT. Would it not be possible and desira ble for some of our Union friends to suspend their vehement and vituperative denunciations of those who favor it, for that short space of time? They have seemed thus far to think that unless they could discredit and destroy it in advance, it would certainly do them incalcula ble damage. They have assumed, therefore, not only without reason, but in the face of the plainest facts, that its object Is to break up the Union party; that it is to be in ihe hands of Ret. els and Copperheads; that it will aim to put the Government into the bands of those who have been trying to overthrow it: and that there is very ureal, danger ot its success. Aud the practical luterence which they draw from all this is, that no man who favors or takes part in it in any way can possibly remain a member of the Union parly, or even pretend to support Union principles. These presses may be wise in thus taking time by the lorclock. If they do not thus denounce aiid vilify the i'hila JelpLiti Convention in advance, they may not be able to do it at nil. Its proceedings may utterly belie heir predic tions. It may be .1: the bauds of Uuion men it may not lollow the le i 1 ot Rebels a;vl Cop perheads ils i-pirit may he as thoroughly pud heartily iu l-ivorofthe Union a that of any Convention ever held; and the result of its action may be (o strengthen t lie cause of the Uuion and to make l:ie Government in the bauds ol Union men slrouecr aud safer in every section ot the country than it ever wa be'oiv. Yet if this should be the case we lo not expect to see it enbst ine any more 01 rtdic d luvor and support than it does now. The leading journals aud managers of the radical movement are zeulous in committing themselves and their fol lowers against the Convention, wha ever may be i'b character and whatever it may do. Rut the Albany Eteninn Journal certainly lias nothing to gain, aud n co id danl to lose, by dealing in such acsertioiiS upon tbi." subject a j these: 'It is already settled that treason is to constitute no harrier against Hdui'Rsion ac I'nilailelpuiii. Ttio authors ot secession are chosen qcIoumios Irotn the &tatrn they led info the war. J'ho Vioo-Presnlout ot the Slaveholders' Coutuderacy, jronorals vrtx i fouvlit ill its ui lines, political leaders ot rebellion, with thn st iiniu of iiUDur.lon a crimes upon them, will ac cotiipaiiv the n stileut V a Inudndiams and fondle- tons and Seymours ot the, Noitli, to Uiotato tliet- rms upon which a bnlllud ur.a beaten oli"urc iY will consent to lenew us allesduiioo lo the Goveruinent, which has magnanimously lolu-od to exert its power to crash " It the Journal did not carefully suppress de clarations and proceedings which reach it daily lrom the Southern States its leaders would see that these strong statements are without foun dation. They would see that, iu no single South ern Stale have the " authors of secession" been clioseu deleaates to the Philadelphia Conven tion, and that in repeated cas?s where incii who were dragged into the Rebellion asaiust their convictions have been thus chosen, they have de clined to go lor fear that their presence would not aid the Union cause. Governor Brown, of Georgia, has written a letter precisely to ihat etlect. A. II. Stephens has expressed similar sentiments. None ot the original authors and plotters of secession have becnchoseii delegates, but Btich men as Judge Sharkey and Sena' or Alcorn ot Mississippi, Cuthbert Bullitt of Loui siana, Governor Pursons of Alabama, Govcruor Johnson ol Georgia, Gnvcrnor Orr of Sontu Ca rolina, A. II. 11. Smart ot Virginia, Judge Bryan of Tennessee old-line Whigs and Union men of the Fthool of Henry Clay and General Taylor, have been almo-t uniformly chosen to represent the people ol the Southern Stutes. The Eveniii journal may not nte tnese men. or approve their political action ; but it has no business to belie their position or misrepresent their cha racters. Enuallv fal-e is the statement that the "Val- laudlghums, and Peudletons and .Seymours" are lo dictate terms of restoration through tue Philadelphia Convention. There is nothing whatever to lead the Journal to believe that these men or those they represent are to con trol that conventiou, or exercise any consider able intluenee upon its action. On the contrary, there are very strong indications that the great body ot Ihe Demociuiic party that portion of it which seeks in pood laith the restoration of the Union upon Union principles will discard (hem and all who have held thou: position dining the war, as their representatives at Philadelphia. In Vallandighain's district his seat will be contested by a War Democrat elected by Democratic votes. The ame is true of Voor hees, in Indiana, and of the Woods in this State. And no candid person will for a moment claim, upon a knowledge ol the facts, that the Copper head element is likely to be that by which the Peiriocralic party will e represented. And if the Journal cannot judge fairly aud justly the tacts that are occurring daily belore its eves, it can at least affords to awa't the action of the convention belore pronouncing decisively upon its character. The Philadelphia Convention, as we regard it, has been called to promote the restoration of the Union of the S:ates, upon principles at once hoporable and sate, aud In the spirit of harmony and of peace. It Is hoped and be'ievpd that it will be mude up of men from the North and South who thoroughly and sincerely des'.re this result, who will do all in their power to aid it, uad who have no purposes or principles hostile to the liberties, the peace and prosperity of the nation, or to the constitutional lights of all its people. It has no nominations to make, aud uo new party to orgaul.e; but it will doubtless put before the people a declaration of its principles and its aims, and will take such steps as it deems most likeiy toeive them effort. No man changes hi-, relation to any other party bv simply taking part in its proceedings, n r will as'eut to its principles and its action involve the necessity of any such chanee unles they are at war with thoe of the party with which he may have been conuected. Its influence will probably be rather moral than political, and it is quite as likely to accomplish the pwpo-e it seeks through its elfect upon the action of existing parties as by organizing a new one. London Heform Mctinjrs and the Pros pecta of the Tory Government. From the Herald. Monster reform uieetinus in London seem to be the race of the hour. Atiempts 10 suppress them promise to be as vain a they appear to be unwise. The scene In Hyde Park on the 23d ultimo must have convinced the Government that these meetings cannot be put down without risking a collision with the people, it wU aur prise u if btrong popular feeling has not by this time proved too much for the will of the Home Becietary, and if Sir Richard Mayne has not Deeu inauoea quietij to rcuro i.vui mo utm Such gatherings are doubtless contagions, and we shall enpect to hear that they have been followed by similar demonstrations in all the larecr towns of the United Kingdom. It would seem as it the English people were determined at last toarouselihomgolvos from their lothargy, and to show that no they are really in earnest about the question of rcto'rm. Indiilercnce on tbeir part has led to the failure of every attempt which has bcn made in that direction since 1832. It was this confessedly the want of interest taken in (lie question out of doors which led Karl Russell to abandon his proposed reform bill of lfl.r4. The reproach Is to rest upon the people no longer. It will be well tor themselves, 'new that they have taken a stand, if thev be not too easily dilven from their purpose. They have put their hand to the plough they may not safely look back. It Is evident thai the Ministry are gravely cmbar rssKed, and not a little disposed to yield to the popular sentiment so forcibly exprcsed, if we can iudge irom the mild and conciliatory speeches of Derby and Disraeli in particular. These demonstrations, it they become at all general, cannot tail to have an' important bear ing on the fate ol the present Government, There are few, we believe, on either side of the Atlantic, but wish them a latr chance of success. The circumstances, however, under which they assumed the reins of power were not peculiarly favorable, and they can scarcely count on popular support. In a lew more days the sit tings of both Houses will be discontinued, and Ministers will be sale until the next session of Parliament. Reformers, however, are not likely to be inactive during the interval, and If ihe scenes of London are repeated In the various centie- ol population throughout the country, we may expect to find, ou th" reassembling of the llot.scs, that the cry lor reform has become louiier and more imperious than it has been since the days of the first Riorm bill. The resignation oil the late Ministry virtually put this relorm question in the hands o' the people. It practically said. We have done what we could; we have n deemed our pledge, but have been inisiicccssiul; it rests with you whether Voi i will have this question settled at once or iudi finitely jiostponed. llestilts.'we have little doubt will show that the trust hns l.ot been misplaced, and that the people aie alive at once to their rights and to their duty. In such circumstances what will Ministers do? They have but two courses open to them. They must either introduce a Relorm bill of their own or give place to those on whom the task would heein more naturally to devolve. DiHiieli, who is the niaste. -sp rit of the new Cabinet, promised the people that it any bill was introduced it would bean "English Relorm bill.'' There may be more chance ot relorm being obtained minor the Tory Government than under thiit ol Lord Russell, with all its profes sions ol liberalism. The force oi circumstances may compil the present administration to abandon their rigid conservatism iu favor of popular rights. 'iherc is nothing iu the antecedents of the pi' sent Government which loibids t.n in to in troduce a measure ol id, mi.

There is nothing inconsistent in Mr. D.srneli iiuikiua a iteih attempt tosupplvthe delects oi bi- "fancy franchise." Disraeli has the most comprehensive ifid enlightened mind in the Government. The same instincts nnd class of tnought which places the Hebrew race loremost among the tii.ancieis aud statesmen ot the world, directs the course of Disraeli aud lilts bini far above his uiistocratic colleagues. Hebrew intellect has developed itselt tor' cen times paid in Europe, it has given it a Fould aud a Rothschild. Spam ur.d Portugal have received their best finance ministers from tne Hebrew race, and now, in the English Chancellor of the Ex chequer, wo see the guiding talent of that, people prominently displayed. Lord Stanley is notori ously a liberal at heart, and he is retained iu hir, preseur political connection only by the strength ot family ties. But will the reactionary party, with w hoih they are compelled to act, permit the more liberal-minded oi the present Government to move in the direction of reform ? Not, we (ear, willingly. Even if such a step were inkcuujul a Tory Re oriu bill introduced, what chance- nre there that the uiea-urc wo.ild pass or that the country would accept it at their nanus? SMI, the Derby Government may be loiced to try the experiment. The Client Powers. From the World. All speculations as to the future balance of power and iullueuce iu Kurope must necessarily be unsafe aud euperfluous, until we learn In a plain and positive way upon what terms peace has actually been made in Germany. Mean while, however, it may be worlh while to cor rect the loose fashion iu which the Ku;lish press and a portion of our own have beguu to talk about the reduction of Austria to a second rate aud even to a third-rate position in Kurope. Such laiiffuape is quite unjustified by any ofthe propositions lor peace which have yet been puo lisbed to the wotld. Neither by her with drawal from the Oeruianie C'outederatton, which is but tilty years olo, nor by her surrender of Venetia, which she never possessed at all until the end ol the last ceuturv, which site lost alter Waprain in 1809 and which was lecoutirmed to her in 1815, would Austria's rank as a great European power be loft. To see this plainly, let us glance lor a moment at what constitutes a "great oower." On ihe 18th of June, IhGO, there existed in Europe five States recognized as benn' of the first rank, und stvled in diplomatic parlance, "great powers." These were: France, Eng land, Russia, Austria, ami Prussia. Numerical population, ot course, was one element in decidiug the pre-eminence of these States over tbe rost ot the Ruropean political family; but it was not the onlv element by any means. The population of Turkey, for example, was mote than twice as great as thnt ol Prussia; but Turkey was not regarded a a power ol the first rank. The population of Italy was larger by three millions than that of Prussia; but the claims of Italy to a seat bv the side ot the five great powers on equal terms, thout'h pres-ed siuce 1859, hs not jet been acknowledged. Considerations of geographical situation, of political organization, ol general civilization, of commercial energy, all enter into the determi nation of vhi9 hierarchy of nations. All these considerations being taken into the account, there can be no doubt that, at the conclusion ot such a peace as is now expected to be made at Prague, Italy will take her place at once as a sixth great power In Kun pe; and lust as little doubt that, Austrifc, while she must aae preshqe, relatively to Prussia, wVl s ill retain her abso lute rank a one ot the most formidable States ot the Ola Wcrld. ltclutive density of populution is one of the most important elements of that sort of avail able strength w hich is the basis of calcula tion In deciding upon the rank ot States, and since the estahlirhment ot the railway system the relative extension of that system which supplement density of population by mobility ot population must also oe considered. Hence it Is that the United StatC3, with a population numerically equal to only about one-half the population of ltusla in Europe, and with a relative density of population Inferior even to that of Russia, must yet. by reason of our vastly more perfect system of mobilization, be regarded as a more powertul empire than that ol the Czar. The weakness entailed upon Hnssia by her eparseness of population and her wretched internal communication, turew ncr, with her sixty millions, at tbe mercy of her enemies in the Crimean war and in any European conflict beyond her own borders would put her on a looting of no more than eoualitv with such a well-orpan'wed power as Prussian Germany or Austria. The predomi nant Dosition ot trance, on tue other hand. rests ma'nly upon fhe extraordinary degree iu which the French empire combines all the ele- nient of available strength. Itussia has a larger population; Turkey a population at least as large; ungiaau nas a more nuauieiy com plcle sys'em of internal communications, and a more widely extended commerce; Prussian Ger many has at least as thorough a military organi ?ation; and Austria has a territory at once more easily defensible and more abounding in natural wealth. But what each of these States possess In a measure larger than France, Franoa possesses in a measure nearly as large; while of all the European States, France ts the only one which stands in the front rank in regard to each and all of these national advantages. If we confine ourselves, however, for the present, merely to absolute population and to density of population, we shall find Europe represented, nccording to the programme now proposed at Prague, alter Austria shall have given up Venetia, and Prussia torme.f herGerman realm, by these six great powers following; I'ojiulati'm.
