Thb address yesterday made by General Jons
A. Dix upon accepting the position of tempo
rary Chairman ot the rhlladelphln Convention,
does not sound like the sentiments of the states
man whose name is famous for his order, that
if any man attempts to tear down the Ameri
can flag, shoot him upon the spot." We have
always considered the General a man of stern
patriotism and of rutrged honesty, and the only
way we can retain that opinion, yet accept his
own words, is by assuming that he did not
mean what he said. We believe that he is a
man of conscientious convictions, and one who
eer acts as his Judgment dictates, but if he
will gravely consider what he maintained,
we are at a loss to see how he can reconcile
it with ieason cr policy. For instance,
let us quote his passage relutive to representa
tion: "Thirty-six States have for months been repre
sented by twenty-live. Eleven States have been
wholly without representatives in ihe legislative
body. That numerical proportion of ttie repre
sented and unrepresented has been changed by
the admission of the delegation Irom Tennessee
a unit taken from the smaller and added tt
the larger number. Ten States are still dented
the representation in Congress to which they
are entitled under the Constitution. It is this
wrone which we have come here now to protest
aRuiust, and, as far as in us lies, to redress.
When the President of the United States de
clared that armed resistance to tn authority of
the Union was over, all the States had a right
to bo represented in the 1-gislative body. They
had the right under the Constitution: they hud
the right under resolutions parsed by binn
Houses of Congress in 18G1; moreover, tiey
were entitled to be so reiresrnt''f1 on otuer
grounds, ou tho?e of fuiin"ss and good laith."'
Ot course, it they were entitled to immediate
representation, it mu'tbe bawd on the law of
apportionment a3 it existed previous to the
effort to dissolve the Union. That law pre
scribed that representation should be appor
tioned according to the tree inhabitants and
three-Ofths of all other persons. The treason of
the South did away with ull the distinction
between free and "other" person?, and made
the old law become obsolete and the basu of
representation be flxtd on the whole number of
free persons. Before the war the three-ht'ths'
clause gave the South nineteen mcinbeis of
Congress, to whom they had no right except
tinder this provision.
Freeing the slaves made three fifths become
five-filths, and increased the number of persons
to be counted from 2,400,000 to4,00i),0i0, making
an additional delegation of twelve members. In
other words, it General Dix means what he says,
he believes in rewarding the South lor its rebel
lion by giving it twelve more votes iu Cougress.
He means to force upon the Iicbels a premium
for their treason, and make the fuithful blacks
who had aided us duriug the war be the
Bteppiug-stone to increase the power of traitors.
Years ago the nepro wa3 made by physical labor
to be a tool to give more wealth to his master;
now his political rh;nts are presented to the
m outers ah a compensation for the loss of ser
vice. Is this Justice? Is it reason? Is it policy?
Again, General Dix is a Northern man. He
is, or pretends to be, the representative of
Northern views. By what law ot equity shall
a Rebel vote nearly cancel the votes of two
honest, hard-working, loyal mechanics of the
North? let such would bo the effect it General
Dix'8 proposition to immediately admit the
Southern delegates should be at once adopted.
Would this be, as he says, only what they are
"entitled to on the grounds ot fairness and good
laith?" By the-by, what "goodfaith" compels
us to admit them at all ? "Good faith" implies
a contract. Was there any made? Did we not
subdue them by force, and was there any effort
made by them to come to terms, so that a capi
tulation should protect them? "Good faith"
or '"bad faith," are mot inapplicable to a con.
queror dealing with the conquered, when sub
mission was absolute. We, therefore, think
that tbe General could hardly have meant to be
so unjust to the Southern blacks and Northern
votes, as the practice he recommends would
impty.
Again, he says:
The President, not in pursuance of any con
stitutional power, had called on the confede
rated States to accept the conditions of their
admission to the exercise ot their l"u ill mate
functions as members ot the Union the ratifi
cation ot the amendment to the Constitution
abolibhing slavery and the repudixtion of the
debt contracted to overthrow the Government
These conditions were met and accepted. TUe
exaction of new conditions is unjust & violation
of the laith of the Government, subversive of
the principles of our political system, and dai
gerous to the public prosperity and peace."
By what constitutional right could the Pres.
dent demand the abolishment of slavery and the
repudiation of the Rebel debt, any more than
he could demand the extension of suffrage?
Is there any power given him in the Constitu
tion to ask one condition and not another? We
think that either be had no right to exact any
preliminaries, or else he had the legal power or
right to demand whatever he thought necessary
for the national safety. The President is one of the
co-ordiuate and equal powers of Government
He did right in requiring the condition he did.
But cannot Congress also demand its condition?
The President refused to recognize, so far as he
-was concerned, any State Government until a
Constitutional amendment was ratified. Cou
gross, by a similar privilege, cast refuse to recog
nize any, so iar as it Is concerned, until another
Constitutional amendment is ratiflod. The same
privilege which is allowed to one of two equals
must also be allowed to the other. And admitting
that the President had as much right as Con
gress (we think few will argue he had moro),
thea still it would be Justified in its course. We
did not Intend to wander into motaphyslci, but
have only done so in attempting to show that
General Dix did not really mean what he said
In hie speech, or eke he is not the same veteran
that fought Rebels in the field, and made his
name Immortal by refusing to temporize with
treason when it came to insult our (lag,
The
Status of tbe late Rebel States
the
Fruit of Tbelr Own Doings.
It is a favorite style ot speech with our conser
vative friends to say that the Republicans have
'expelled" tbe late Rebel States from the Union.
We think it would be better to state the case
lust as it is, that those States voluntarily seceded
from the Union, anl for four years devoted all
their energies to the attempted overthrow of the
Government. Their present position is the fruit
of their own disloyalty. It is one of the results
nf the war. as much so as the overthrow of
slavery. Had the Southern States remained true
to the Union they would have had no difficulty
now. If they have lost their representation In
Congress, it is because they recklessly threw it
away. Their anomalous condition is due to their
own folly. They cannot stand at the bar of
public opinion and plead innocence.
The war they inaugurated has made grea
changes, and if they come out of tbe struggle,
which they themselves Invoked, with less politi
cal power in ihe conntry than they had when
they entered upon it, they must look uuon it as
one of the inevitable consequences ot their own
acts.
In good time they will be restored to repre
sentation In Congress. But they must not be
Impatient, nor, least of all, must they attempt
to force upon the country that most dangerous
and revolutionary doctrine, that a State may
sunder all Its practical relations to the Union
and become a rebellious and warring State,
and then the moment it has been overthrown by
military power, may, at Its pleasure, resume its
political standing and its power as a component
part of the Union. This would be anarchy rj
duccd to a science.
A Fent Without a Precedent.
iiiSTEKDAY atteruoou, about 4$ l al we re
ceived irom the Associated Press a despatch
fiom London and one Irom Paris, containing
the editorial expressions of the Times and
Monitcur of yesterday morning. In fact, iu the
edition which we at once got out was read by
the Philadelphia public tbe name articles as were
given to the British and French public in
the morning. This featis without a precdent
in the history ot the world. The editorials of
European journals to be lurnl-hed to our after
noon papers! Talk about girdling the earth In
forty minutes ! Why, what was n fent of witch
craft is now reduced to u practical lact. Such
an event settles our doubts iu reirurd to the suc
cess of the cable.

perfectly reliable authority that t'ae new Con
stitution of the State ot Morth Carolina, which
was hiibmitted to the people of that State for
adoption or i ejection, was aeieatod by a
larpe majority. Tne Cou. titulion provide lor
the annulline ot the black code and the exten
sion of civil rights to Ireedmcn. This defeat is
significant of the tefliiig in that section, and
has been kept as quiet as possible. Day after
clay new evidences are furnished which show us
the motives which actuate the Southern heart,
and every additional testimony joins in recom
mending their exclusion Irom Congress until a
different lire of action is adopted. We ask the
North Carolina delegates to the Convention for
a distinct answer, whether their State has or has
not detcated the loyal Constitution?
A Royal Slight. Her Royal Highness Queen
Emma, widow of the monarch of au uupro-
nouuceable name, has administered a direct
slight to our city. She has gone through our
land and passed around Philadelphia in her way
to Washington. How keenly we feel this neg
lect none can tell except those who know how
fondly our F. F.'s desir"d to entertain royalty.
