The Southern Convention.
from tht Tribune.
The addrewj and resolutions adopted by the
Southern Convention on Thursday, declare taut
Mr. Johnson's policy is responsible for our
present troubles, and testify that the eucourago
meiit piven the Rebels has placed the lives and
fortunes of Southern Union men In the hund'of
men who have fearfully abused their power.
Congress is earnestly sustained, and ak;d to
five further protection to the loyalists In the
.Uebel States. We commend both' the address
and resolutions to the people, tor they deserve
do ordinary attenlion. They do not, however,
iu.ly express the view of the Unionists who
conic from the seaboard States. There was In
the Convention a decided majority ot delegates
from the border btates, and they controlled it.
Thus toe necessity of impartial suffrage Is not
asserted by tne Convention, h tact winch must
be understood to mean that Maryland, West
Virginia, and portions of the Tennesee and
Missouri delegations considered such assertion
impolitic.
The debate was very earnest between Gov
ernor Hamilton and the opponents of a sutfraire
plank. Dut lortunately the matter was Dually
adjusted by the moderation and pood sense of
the Convention. The deiepates from the unre
constructed State then offered anottier
Nddre-s, in which their unalterable conviction
of tlie necessity of impartial umbrage will be
affirmed, and it is understooi that this is to be
acknowledged as the voice of the Union men of
the extreme South Texas, Louisiana, Georgia,
and Alabama. Creat questions were considered
by tho Convention ycsierday, but as we approve
of the wise re'usal of the Northern delegates to
attempt to iufiuenee the Convention, so we con
eider it best to await its adjournment before en
tering Into the debate. Thi9 is a Convention of
Houthern men. They know what we of the
North desire, and hiw deep is our sympathy
-with their hopes and aims. It is but just, tnen,
that the North should, as far as possible, silently
await tut result 01 their deliberations.
Our Finances.
I'rom the Tribune.
The liquidated national debt, less the amount
of cash in the treasury, one year ago, was over
$2,757,000,000; it is now but $2,595,G83,1G8. On
the 1st of January last, it was $2,749,491,743; so
that its reduction during the last eight months
lias considerably exceeded $150,000,000. There
is no parallel to this rapidity of extinction in
the history of any Government. At this rate,
we should pay oil' the last dollar within less
than fifteen years. And, though the present
Congress has made very large reductions in the
rates of internal taxation, it does not appoar
that the accruing revenue has thereby been
sensibly uiminhed.
Such being the case, It is deplorable that be
cause ot our deranged, inflated currency, our
debt should be rapidly going abroad for sale at
an averaee "shave" of ' twenty-five per cent.
While a French or British five per cent, having
pome years to run, would sell to-day for par or
over, our six per cents, principal and interest
payable in gold, are rapidly passing out ot
American into European bauds at an average
price ot about seventy-live cents on the dollar.
It is a bnrningii disgrace as w ell as a national
loss that this should go on. And we, iu a time
of peace und prosperity, are taking our pay
mainly in goods ttiai we consume, and our cnil
tren iuubt Dav lor. This is all very wrong.
We think the Secretary ot the Treasury should
endeavor to arrest it. He has over seventy-six
millions of coin in his vaults, besides 'i'v-six
millions of currency that is. of bis c notes,
lie might certainly spare forty if not fifty mil
lions ot his specie wherewith to buy it up, as
cheaply as Dosible, so muoli of the public debt
as it would pay tor. And this, wt are coudaent,
would to put up the price that no more would
tro nbroitd. or else those foreigners who insisted
on having it would be obliged to give nearly or
ci uite iir tor it.
Cuu it be that Mr. McCulloch is Indifferent to
this stcadv efflux of our National obligations at
a price so scandalously below their tro J value?
AVe trust not. Yet he seems to be doing nothing
to arrest it.
The President's IMIstukc.
i'rom the Timet.
President Johnson, in his speech at Cleveland,
remarked that he "did not care about his di
liity." Iu our judgment this is greatly to be
regretted. The American people care very much
about it. and can never see it forgotten or laid
aside Without profound sorrow and solicitud
Jlr. Johnson is not speaking or travelling a3 a
simple citizen. He is President of the United
States at Cleveland as well as at Washington
while addressing a mas meeting as well as when
presidiug at a Cabiuet council; and whatever he
may do or say at either place carries with it all
tne wcisni ana lnuucuce oi uis nign position
So tar as its effect vpon tne public mind is con
cerued, what he sajs hi aj public speech has
precisely the same import auce as what he says
in a messnee to congress; auu nesoouiu, in
justice to himself, to the people, and to the tran
Bcendent interests cousipued to his care, be jus
as considerate, just as calm, and just as dlspas'
eiouute iu the one as in the other.
The Presidmt at Cleveland, as elsewhere upon
his tour, has met thousands of those who do not
indorse his policy, btmI among them, as a matter
ot course, there have been u good many men ot
rude manners und a very low conception of the
Tironrieties of such oeea-ious: and he has been
subjected at tlieir hands to tuunts and
reproaches, more or less disrespecttul and
inching. He has made a great mistake in
retorting upon theai, or in paying the slightest
attention, to them. The Presldeut ot the United
States cannot enter upon an exchange of
epithets with the brawlers of a mob, without
senoi'Bly compromising his oflicialcharacter.and
liazardiug interests too momentous to be thus
lightly imperilled. He may satcly leave the vin
dication of his official acts, especially against
Burn assault, to his Iricnds; and mere personal
affronts it is utterly beneath his personal or offi
cial character to notice or even to hear.
The President, in excuse for the tenor of his
remarks at Cleveland, said it was his habit when
attacked to defend htmclf. This is his nature,
and it has, indeed, been the habit of his political
lile. His political successes have been won oy
iard blows, and he ha9 been compelled, at every
ptage of bis career, to confront hostilities of the
most reckless and envenomed character. We
can understand how difficult it is lor him to
change in this respect, or to realize at one the
wide difference between the responsibilities of
ins present position and those of a popular can
vass in a Border State during a heated political
contest. Candid men will give all due weight
to the effect of such a training upon a mind
naturally teuacious of its own conviction, and a
character utterly incapable ot weak compliances.
Bui the mass of the people find it more difficult
to make such allowance and thousands and
tens ot thousands, whose judgments assent to the
principles which the President represents, are
startled and bewildered by the manner in which
lie aavocaies tuera. ,
It is a ereat mistake on the part of the Prest
dent to assume or suppose that the great body
of the people in the North who diBsent from his
views are enemies of the Union, or are seeking
,.nn-ioiml v to destrov it. We tielievfi the nolle V
they favor to be fraug'at with inrinite mhtuhief
to the country, ana witu great peril to its peace
nnd Deruetulty. but they seek no such result.
Thev are still under the influence of the passions
aroused by the war passions essential, while
the war continued, to Its vigorous prosecution,
and shared by the President In common with
the groat niacs of the loyal and patriotic people
of the land. The time has come w hen the public
aood demands that thev should be moderated
and allayed. The President, In this great work,
is in advance of the nation. Knowing the
Southern States and people from personal
association with them, beier than no the people
of the ftorth, he ha hud stronger re'lnnce upon
the sincerity and good faith with which they have
accepted the results of the war, and has been
mote ready to trust in their renewed devotion
to the Government and tne flag of onr com
mon country. It is ot tho utmost importance
that he should Impart to tho people of the
North sometclne of this confidence which he
I eels so strouuly himself that he should alluv
their unjust apprehensions, calm their aroused
reentrnents, and moderate the passions which,
as in every ereat community, survive the causes
which gave them birth. This is a service
which lr.s position eminently qualities him to
perform, and It i-iot much more consequence
than the retort ot an insulting r.peecn, or the
rebuke of bad manners in a miscellaneous and
irresponsible crowd.
The NlgRcr AVorhliner' Convention In
I'liiiHiiciiwiin.
From the Herald.
In our graphic report? of the present Phila
delphia Convention, as iu a mirror, radicalism
may see lt own hideous and grotesque image
clearly reflected. The Convention is composed
of the worst fanatics of the North nnd the 8outu,
and tne only contest between them is as to which
Bhall go to the greater extremes. The Northern
radicals are in lavor of cheating the negroes by
postponing all declarations upon the subject of
negro suffrage, for expediency's sake, so as to
delude our voters into retaining them in favor
at the coming elections; but the Southern radi-
als, who have no supporters among the white
men, and whose oulv hone Is iu the blacks.
oppose this policy bitterly, and insist that the
ngnt oi tne negroes to vote shall oe emphati
cally asserted. Reinforced by Mr. Greeley, who
was beaten upon this very question in the Syra
cuse Convention, they may pos6ibly succeed;
but no matter what right is claimed for the
negroes, it is universally conceded by these
radicals, in the language ot senator uuanaier,
that the only rights which the Southern white
people possess are "the constitutional right to
be hanged and the divine right to be damned."
in troth and forv, in violence and vindictive-
ficsB, in rant and rage, this radical cabal ex
ceeds any Jacobin club or any assemblage of
nre-eaters. Tne Uonvention was opened on
Wednesday by a blasphemous tirade trom lae
irreverend Mr. Newman, who prayed God to
"deliver us irocn the rule of bad men. especially
from him who through satanic agency has been
raised to authority over us," and who asked still
more directly for the assassination of the Presi
dent by shouting, "Great God interpose, and, m
maKlng bare Tuino ami lor vengeance, save us
from hl" intainous nnd ruinous policy." Not
many months ago, we remember, ciigymen
were fined and imprisoned, at the solicitation of
these very radicals, tor simply oinittiner the
nameot the President in their pravers. What,
then, shall be said ot those who pray lor tue
President's death or assassination?
Thev must not lorget that their curses mav
vetci.me home to roost, and that the poisoned
chalice they prepare for him mav be com
mended to their own lips. John Minor Botts,
who said that "some one ousltt to be found to
put out Secretary Seward's light:" the Illinois
delegate, who "piomised a good row in Chi
cago;" Mr. Greeley, who wrote that President
Johnson should "hung outside the verge," and
all the other radicals who iudulge iu these
threats are but storing up wrath against the day
of wrath. Should any harm beiall the Presi
dent in consequenceol iheir utterances, nothing
can save them from the indignation of the peo
ple, xney win ate, nuntea ana crippled, like
Wilkes Booth, or maimed and bleeding, like
Kubespierre, and in all our large cities lew lamp-
osts win oe wunout their radical pendant",
'hose who sow the winds will rean the whirl
winds'.
The country is now upon the eve of terrible
dangers. The Northern lebelhon has developed
its purposes, and must be as sternly suppressed
as the Southern rebellion ought to have beeu
at its inception. The radical plots which we
have long since exposed are now openly
avowed. Speaker Treraain, at the Syracuse
Convention, announced that the radical pro
gramme was to exclude the electoral votes of
t lie Southern States from the next Presidential
election; to remove the President if he objected
to this exclusion, and to mnrch a radical army
through the South it any resistance were offered
to this course. The delegates to the Philadel
phia Convention till u,j the outlines of the plan
sketched by Trtmuin, and assert that President
Johnson must be got out of the way, eituer by
impeachment or assassination, and that a
nesro insurrection must be incited to still
lurther cripple and weaken tho South.
All these threats are ominous of trouble.
Should the worst come to the worst, we do not
iear the issue, because we know that the loyal,
patriotic, and conservative ineu of the country
are in so vast a majority that they will be able
to crush the radicals at once. But are we ready
tor another civil war at our own doors? Is the
prospeiity of the country to be again checked,
and the safely ot republican institutions
again imperilled ? Are our streets to run with
blood and our houses to be transformed into
private arsenals? The bitter experiences of the
past four years will bo exceeded if the ra licals
curry out their revolutionary projects. Then
the worst miseries of tho war were reserved tor
the South; but iu the new rebellion thev w'll be
brought to our own firesides. The only way to
avert this catastrophe is for the people to ad
miuister to th2 radicals so overwhelming a
rebuke at the polls this fall that all thought of
insurrection will be abandoned us lutile. The
ballot-box fortunately precedes the bayonet and
ihe bullet. Let the people take care that in
thiB case It shall also supersede these weunons
ol'tictub.
Oiicial Decorum.
From the Xation.
We should much prefer to speak in terms of
entire nispeet of the Present of the United
State.-, end to avoid making any issue personal
to 'him, while opposing the policy which he
advocates. It has not generally been difficult
lor men of fair and canoid minds to do thU.
There was nothing in the demeanor of the
earlier Presidents which afforded any ground
tor personal criticism.' ulthough such attacks
were ireely made upon them by reckless and
overheated men. General Jackson's rough
military manners trenched somewhat upon the
traditional dignity of civic office; but even his
enemies could not fail to respect bis manliness,
however much they might detest his acts.
Presidents Von Buren, Tyler, Polk, Fillmore,
Pierce, and Buchanan were all gentlemanly in
their manners, and the tour first-named digni
fied in their conduct oi auaus.
So indeed, as a rule, were tho two others,
although their tortuous policy compelled them
occasionally to humiliate themselves before the
world, and Mr. Buchanan began the bad prac
tice of stump-speaking. General Taylor was a
man of unaffected simplicity, which gave to
his manners a kindly dignity more attractive
even than the formal polish of cultivated men.
Mr. Lincoln, also, though awkward and un
gainly in appearance, had a genuine manly
natuie, a fdettulneg of self, and a tenderness
of ieeling which the country valued more than
external manners, and which deserved universal
respect.
But Mr. Johnsen, who began no lower in the
scale of life than Mr. Lincoln, and who has had
lar more opportunity for cultivation, seems
unable to rise above his early position. Better
acquainted with the forms of social life than
Mr, Lincoln, General Taylor, and General Jack
son were, he lacks the native dignity which
made them superior to their manners. He has,
indeed, no other dlenlty than such as may be
learned from a dancing-master. He knows bow
to enter a room; and is not so troubled to dis-
Eose of his hands and feet nswai his plmple
enrted predecessor; but where in him shall we
hi.d tho largeness of view, tho patience with
adver-ailes. the temperance ot stv-eeh. the tor
pettulness of sell, that wlf restraint which Is
the brst and greatest quality of a gentlemnn,
which so unilortnly characterized Abraham
Lincoln?
Mr. Johnson Is devoured by an ceotlsm of
which lie is painfully conscious, but wlrch it is
impossible for him lo repress. Accordingly he
compromises the matter by doubling the num
ber of his allusions to bimselt', tirst reminding
bis audience of his own heroism, his sacriiices,
his sufferings, his patriotism, his fidelity to his
friends, his long service, his devotion to the
cause of the masses, and so forth, until, sud
denly checked by a jut suspicion that his audi
tors 'are getting satiated, he seeks to restore
their equanimity, ami to regain their respect,
by lecurring to ln. humble oriuin, his "plebeian
birth," his general un worthiness, and by nssu
ranees that "the humble individual who now ad
di esses vou" is conscious that he is but a servant
of the dear people, a representative of the "toil
ing masses," a mere citizen nothing, in spite
of his iiLparallcled paertflces and service, but a
mun.
"1 am well aware that I am the 'nmblct per
son foine," ssld I'nuti Heep, modestly, "let tho
other be where be tnav. My mother is likewise a
very 'nmble person. We live in an 'umbie abode,
Master Cop.ert1eld, but we have muoa to be thank,
tul lor. Mr lather's tormer calling was 'amble. He
was a sexton."
The frequency of Mr. Johnson's references to
his "'uroble calling"' in ear ly life is too great
for sincerity. Like a boy whistling down ghosts,
the vehemence with which he boasts of his ple
beian origin shows that is a sore spot with him,
and the pains which he takes to remind us Mat
he was a tailor only prove that he is constantly
haunted by that unwelcome lact, and tormented
bv the conviction tLat everybody is thinklnz
about it. His address to tho tailors of Philadel
phia was an almost ludicrous illustration of his
discomfort. Such elaborate assurances that he
lelt their particular visit to be an honor, such
painful efforts to show that he was proud of
associations of w hich every word snowed that
lie was at heart bitterly ashamed, make most
ridiculous and painful passages. Nobody but
Thackeray can do justice to such a magnificent
contribution to his "Book of Snobs."
The delicate touches of the 22d of February
eperch, that "triumphant" effort, as Mr. Seward
termed it (taking Just tnen, we imagine, a pro
digious pinch oi snuff), will not be forgotten.
The satisfied ambition which, having led up
Irotn alderman to President, had no more to
aik; the precedential back and stomach, which,
we were assured, were content wiih being re
spectively veil clothed ana bountifully tilled;
the sufferings of the past, the proffered martyr
dom (alwas witba well-tilled stomach, for is
not the (attest ox best for the slaughter?) for
the tuture; and, tinally, the tears which the
oiRtor piomised to shed "about that place (. e.,
iu that neighborhood) provided the American
people would gather aiounu to see' who is
sufficient for these things 1
The more recent speeches of the President
have beeu maiulv extracts from this great ora
tion, put into langnree bit slightly differing
irom the original, Toeir egotism is something
very interesting. Some one who took the
trouble to count, states that the last speech at
Wushiuetou used the pronoun in the Grst per
son singular one hundred and forty times In
one column, and we have ascertained the num
ber ot allusions to the speaker himself in tho
half-column soeecn at Philadelphia to exceed
lortv. These speeches are also full of the same
boastings over the pasi, and the same hollow
affectation of pride in a low origin, which have
already excited our comment.
This is a painful spectacle for all clear-sighted
and proud-spirited Americans. We were not
ashamed or afraid of Mr. Johnson's humble
position in early life. We voted for him knowing
pcriectly well that he had been a villaue tailor,
wut we all supposed that he had accepted his
lot, both in tne past and In the present, with
quiet dignity. Hdd it been loreseen lor a
moment that he would humiliate himself and
his con6 ituents by thus wriggliug under a
mutfer-ot-course truth, be would never have
been thus honored.
It is possible that in this mortified vanity miy
be lound the key to Mr. Juhusou's extraordi
nary inconsistencies, and especially to his com
plete change of tone towards his So ithern
brethren within the last two years. He has
always writhed under tho sense ot his plebeh.n
isiu, and under the contempt with which he
knew himself to be regarded by the Southern
gentlemen whom he affected to despise, bat
whom he secretly envied. On his accession to
power, his lirst impulse was to avenge himself
upon this diss, and with this idea he excluded
them trom the general amne sty, ami bitterly,
we bud almcst said brutally, 'insulted them
whin, as a class, they sought lo obtain an ex
tension of pardon to themselves.
Bui to a person of this temper it was tlie
sweetest triumph of bis lLfo when these men, as
individuals, gathered around him crushed,
humiliated, abject, waiting eagerly for liis
smile, echoing every sentiment that fell from
his lips, pouring delicious flattery into his cuf,
and imploriii!? from him personal lavors. Tocn,
lor the first lime in his life, Andrew Johcson
felt himself recognized not merely as an equal,
but as a superior, by the men who were his
only ideal of chivalry and aristocracy, and a
ragiut; envy of whom had gnawed his heart for
toity'yeajs. The temptutiou to mould his
policy so as to secure the continuance of this
delightful adulation was irresistible. All obli
gations oi fidelity, consistency, and honor
melted away beiore the sweet vision of becoin
ing a recognized Southern gentleman.
Wo comment on these things with extreme
reluctance. Ot course, nothing can be said
about thpni thnt will not seem intensely per
sonal, and we have, therefoie, rettained, up to
the prevent, from criticizing auvtuiug in jur,
Johnson's career beyond his public act.?. We
condemned in strong terms the eatlicr imputa
tions cast on him personally bv his opponents,
and said what we could to soften the effects even
ot the siit ech of the 22d of February. We have
been sincerely anxious all along, not lor hW
sake, but for the sake of the great country
which he represents, to have whatever ether in
his character or manners seemed to render him
unfit for tho position he tills, passed over either
unnoticed, or with as little notice as possible
He has, however, by the tour which he has
undertaken, and into which he has been led
acrainst the dictates, we believe, of his own
earlier judgment, so completely thrown off offi
cial restraint, auu uispiayeu so much contempt.
not simply lor the peculiar political opinions
of the great mass of the Northern people, but
tor the ordinary decorum of civilized lite, that
it will not do to leave loroign nations or po
tenty in ignorance of what the Christ. un dh'jUc
ot this country and this aec think ami feel
about his snyrnes and ooiugs. Some of his
joke3 and allusions, as well us those of Mr,
Seward, have Deen oi such a nature as to
render it impossible for us any longer to be
silent, and let th world suppose that these
two gentlemen are iair representatives either
of our civilization or ot our religion. We do
trust that such a rebuke will be administered to
them at the coming elections as will secure us
a lone term of official decorum. This r
most painful and nauseous subject, and we wiP.
willingly Uke leave oi it.
