Union State Coniention,
A State Convention will be hold in

day the seventh (lay of March, A. D.
1866, at
. 12 o'clock, M., for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Gover
nor, to be supported by the friends of
the Union.
The ordeal of war has tried the
strength of our Govertiment. Its fire
has purified. the nation. The defence
of the nation's life has demonstrated
who were its friends. The principles
vindicated in the field must be preser
ved in the councils of the nation. The
arch enemy of freedom must bo struck
once more. All the friends of our
Government, and all who wore loyal
to the cause of the Union, in our late
struggle,- aro earnestly requested -to
unite in sending dblegates to represent
thorn in said Convention, •

Committee.. JOHN CESSNA,

President Johnson.
The recent conversations of Presi
dent Johnson with the several delega
tions that have called upon him are
calling forth numerous notices from
the press of the country. Some of the
journals take strong grounds in favor
of the sentiments so openly expressed
by him, while others are as strongly
opposed. Ito great topic that is pro
ducing the arguments pro and con is
that relating to the negro and his rights.
They, as a body composing formerly
the slave population of the South, have
been released from their condition as
slaves, and now it is strongly urged
by'Some'of the members of Congress
that they aro fully entitled tothe right
of Suffrage : Speeches, lengthy and
wellsworded, have been made by ment
bers,in favor of !granting the colored
mac the right of suffrage, all of which
tend to the immediate introduction of
the universal privilege of that right.
Indeed, the greater part of the procee
dings of. Congress are taken up with
resolutions relating to the negro. The
members holding these views appear
to have understood, by the tenor of
their speeches; that President Johnson
did 'not ceincide with them, and some
even went so far as to reproach hini
for holding'his candid opinions. Butit
was not until the reception of the col
ored delegation that he openly expres
sed his opinions iu regard to the sub
ject. The'views of the President on
that occasion we published, nor has he
detracted one iota since then from the
views ho to them proclaimed. The
colored delegates were not at all sat
isfied with the position tho President
had taken, nor were they backward in
reproaching him, subsequently.
The President entertains decided
grounds against the granting of the
right of suffrage to the colored men,
stating that it is entirely too prema
ture and would•be the means of produ
cing bloodshed and the inevitable ex
termination of one race or the other.
Ho has stated that coming suddenly
from a state of servitude and the igno•
ranee consequent thereto, they arc un
qualified to exercise the right, and has
also intimated that the ,best policy for
them to pursue would be to emigrate
and colonize. These are his- views,
and some have taken to censuring him
for making them public. True, he
holds an exalted
. position, ,and his
,words have a weight of far greater
,importance than those of any other
public man ; but can it be said that he
should hold still and keep his opinions
to himself? -We hold that under this
Government every man, be he in high
or humble station has the right to hold
and openly express his opinions. If it
were otherwise the 'intent of the fra
mers would be annulled, and the opin
ions of the powerful would hold su:
promo Control. Men can differ with
the President as much as they can
with other Men, but it is not just that
he should be censured for publicly ex
pressinr, his views because be holds a
station that carries with it so much
influence. The President took occasion
in . one of his addresses to refer to the
men who 'thus censured him, and he
did right.
As to the views of President John
son on the great topic of the day we
think that the mass of the people coin
cide with hiin. He understands what
he says; and his experience, being a
Southorner;• qualifies him to speak
knowingli, lie desires to leave the
settlement Of the question, however,
with the people, and here is the divi
ding difference between him and the
extremists. While he looks to popu.
jar settlement, 'they wish to force it
upon the people without their eonsent.
We shall await further developments ;
but expect to see renewed denuncia:
.Lions from his opponents.

Dare the. President Enjoy the Common
There is a certain class of men in
this country for whom, in many par
ticulars, we entertain respect and con
fidence, and who have done good ser
vice in the cause of the Government,
but who have schooled themselves in a
faith that their opinions, and their's
only, are entitled to the adoption of
the nation. In all this arrogation of
superior khowledge on public affairs,
thereis exhibited a presumption and
an intolerance unbecoming the station
already, occupied by those to whom
we allude, and which must prove fatal
to the• aspirations cf the same states-
men for the future. The right of opin
ion, in this country, is the most sacred
privilege of the freeman. Every man
is endowed with this right to its fullest
extent, and he who fails to exercise it,
is unworthy to be called a man ' we
care not whether he occupies the hum
blest situation in life or stands at the
dizzy height of the nation's bead. In•
deed, without this free exercise of the
right of opinion there can be no real
attainment in life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness. In the settlement
of our present national difficulties,why
should not the opinions of the Presi
dent of the United States be accepted
as being equally good as those of any
individual member or any considerable
number of members of Congress?—
, Andrew Johnson has seen as much of
public life as any man to day in Con
gross. Ho has as much experience in
public station as any man now living
in the United' States; in fact has sory•
ed. the people in more capacities than
• any of our public men; and in all of
which he has proven himself faithful;
patriotic and capable: Why, then, we
ask, should not the .opinions of the
President be respected 1 Ho has done
his duty in the past—he has made ma
ny noble sacrifices for his country- 7
and yet it seems to us that every as
piring man in the nation now occupy
ing legislative position is of the faith
that his own individual opinion is of
more consequence than that of the
President of the United. States, backed
as we aro bound to believe that opin
ion is by his constitutional advisers.—
It has long since seemed to us that
there is not Sufficient deference paid
to the opinions of the President in
quarters where there is deemed to ex:
ist the highest devotion to the Gov
ernment; and that a• portion at-least
of the reproaches which wore heaped
on the enemies of Mr. Lincoln's ad
ministration, when he was engaged in
shaping its policy, could now with
'great justice be hurled against some of
those who occupy high places in the
gift of the Republican party.
Complaint has been - made that the
punishment decreed by the law for
treason has not been visited as impar
tially and sternly on traitors as the fu
ture safety of the country demands.—
It has been asserted'that the delays in
the prompt trial of prominent traitors
indicate a purpose eventually to sanc
tion their escape from justice. We
are satisfied that the penalties of tree..
son have not been inflicted with alac
rity; but the blame is not with the
President. Instead of supporting the
Chief Magistrate in a purpose to chas
tise the guilty rebels, ho has been ac
tually harassed with issues so momen
tous,and so foreign to the first objects
of the war, that in his embarrassment
on those points, many of the guilty
have been allowed to escape, who, if
public opinion had been sternly direc
ted against them, would have been
long since properly punished. Our
first object should have been to mark
and punish the guilty. This we can•
didly believe was the purpose of the
President; but he has been frustrated
in this by a too hasty desire to distrib
ute:and equalize political privileges. In
order to attain success on this point,
bold agitators have made dangerous
issues with the President. And in or
der to meet and ward off the fallacies
thus originated, the attention of the
President has been engrossed to the
neglect•of work in which the real ele
ments of national reorganization were
more largely involved.'
Chairman
--We believe it is the desire as it is
the duty of the mass of the people to
support the President. We believe in
the statesmanship of the President
His opinions, both from his experience
in public life, and his intimate acquain
tance with 'Southern social organize.
tion, are as likely to be correct as those
of any other statesmen deliberating on
the same issue. His knowledge of the
domestic servitude of the South--out
of the fragmentary elements of which
it is claimed .the highest attributes of
freemen can be framed—and his thor—
ough acquaintance with the principles
and stake involved in the re-organiza.
tion of the lately revolted-States, qual
ify the President most fully for the
work confided to his hands. The
mass of the people unquestionable coin
cide with the President. Thdy have
confidence in his opinions—and the
danger is, while those who seek to
make issues with the Chief Magistrate
at all times and in all places, not that
the policy of the President will be a
failure, but that the embarrassment to
which it is subjected will delay its suc
cess and thus subject the nation of un,
necessary suffering. This can only be
averted by the people—and we believe
this the people will settle at the bal
lot box.—Harrisburg Telegraph

BLOODY DEEDS IN MISSISSIPPI-T WO DES
PERADOES Sllol`
A gentleman from Covington county
informs us that a party of deserters,
headed by James Broom, John Ray
burn and Felix Rayburn, went to the
residence of Alexander Magrew on the
7th instant, and concealed themselves
in his crib, awaiting his return from
church, with the intention of waylay
ing and killing him. Mr. Magrew did
not return as they expected, and they
then set fire to his house and left.
Magrew returned home-next rifoning,
collected a few friends, and started in
pursuit. Ile overtook them in the
evening, and in attempting to arrest
them, killed Felix Rayburn and cap
tured John Rayburn. The others made
their escape. A few days afterward,
having learned that James Broom was
one of the incendiaries, Magrew and
his friends proceeded to his residence
to arrest him. As soon as Broom saw
his house was surrounded, ho got his
gun and shot at the crowd, killing
George Watt. Magrew's party fired
and killed Broom.
A TERRIBLE 'TRAGEDY
The YazOo (Miss.) Banner, of the
10th, has the following ,
Last Tuesday a party of thieves,
three in number, stole thirteen mules
from the plantation of Judge Dubuis
son, five miles below Yazoo City. The
mules were the property of Capt. John
Ray, who, with Mr. Charles Dubuis
son, came up to Yazoo City Wednes
day morning, and being joined by
Jatneig B. Hoskins, A. C. Coffee, and
James 11. Copeland, sot out in pursuit
of the thieves, who had gone towards
Benton. Capt. Ray and his.partly
followed them overtaking them at the
house of Mrs. Logan, where, having
just concealed the mules, they had
stopped. Captain Ray and his party
went 'up to the house, and most of
them dismounted. Ray walked up to
the house and told one of the thieves,
who was standing at the door, with a
gun in his hand, that he wanted his
mules. The follow told him ho could
not_ get them.- Whereupon 'Ray set
his own g un down, advanced upon the
porch where he stood, seized his gun
and attempted to wrench it from him.
While he had hold of the gun another
one of the thieves shot him With a pis
tol. Then the villains in' the house
opened a brisk fire on the party with
out, three of whom were on the perch.
Hoskins and Coffee were shot, and
walked off the porch and fell dead in
the yard, though not before they had
exchanged shots with the thieves.
They fired several shots at Copeland
and Dubuisson, after the death of their
three companions, ono shot passing
through Copeland's coat. It is sup—
posed that one of the villains was killed.

The President's Politioal Position.
WAsaiNcrroN, Vet), 9,1860
The following is the substance of a
conversation which took place yester
day morning" between the President
and a distlrignislod Representative,
concerning the 1 3 4esident's speech of
Wednesday to the:negro. delegation
which called oni him
The Representative said some per
sons felt, and others would, probably,
for personal or factious ends, endeavor
to show that the President was taking
sides . against the colored people, or was
at least less favorably disposed to
wards them than he had been.
'Die President responded that no
one could fairly and truthfully do
that. He was now what he had always
been, the friend of the poor and the
lowly. He had never broken faith
with anybody, and if his past course
and his former language were not a suf
ficient guarantee that he meant well to.
ward the colored people and would
endeavor to secure to them a fair
chance, nothing he could Say or do
now would give any such guarantee..
He thought, however, that it was best
to speak plainly, and he did not be
lieve that the effort now making by
some who call themselves the negroes'
special friend to force universal suf
frage upon theBtates, was wise or ju•
dicious. He thought it tended to em
bitter feelings, while our effort should
be to cultivate calmness and cor.fi-•
donee: - He believed it would result in
great injury to the prospects of the
colored people. He did not know
whether Mr. Douglass and his friends
expected bird to talk to them ; but he
• thought it best to take the opportuni
ty to state his views. He would re
peat that ho was, if holnew his own
heart, the colored man's friend. He
had great faith in the people, and
would endeavor to carry out their
will.
The Representative then said that
some persons might take or profess to
take the President's speech as an indi
cation that ho was at variance with
his party friends, and that some oth
ers might endeavor to found upon it
the charge thdt ho was preparing to
go over.
- The President smiled, and answered
that if the party which opposed his
election indulged ,in any great expec
tations on that score they Were likely
'to be disappointed. He might differ
with individuals of what was called
the Union party as to the moans to bo
used, but ho considered himself in gen
eral accord with that party,ns a whole,
in the ends to be reached. He was
- not a party man, and he meant to sink
the partisan in the patriot. But so far
as ho understood the sentiments of-the
Union party, ho was in general accord
with it.
The Representative finally, afte . r
further conversation, said something
about the distribution of offices; about
Executive patronage.
The President remarked that ho was
the servant of the whole people, but
he could not entirely forget by what
party he had been placed in his present
position, and supported in the admin•
istration of the duties entrusted to
him. He proposed to fight his battles
within the lines 'Of the party which
elected him to office. He might differ'
with some of his friends, and ho should
feel wholly at liberty, to so differ, and
to state the ground of his contrary be.
half or opinion; but ho considered
himself indentified with the great
Union party, and had no desire or in
tention of being found outside. He
intended to exercise his own judgment,
Out was ready to yield it
.when he
found it was not sustained by the judg.
ment Of the people. He bad no sym•
pathy with those who opposed the war
for the Union; and while he hoped
the whole country would approve the
endeavor to restore the Union, ho
could not forget that some men fryer
ed and some opposed the cause of the
Union when it IvitS in peril.

A&" John Bright, in a recent epee*
speaking of the multitude of the poor
in England, and their hopeless condi
tion, uses the following language:
"There are amongst them one mil
lion—considerably more than a million,
I believe, in the United Kingdom—of
those who are classed, in the unfortu
nate list of paupers. There are at least
a million who are just above the,pau.
hers—always in peril lest they them
selves shbuld become paupers. Their
condition and their prospects' are no
more favorable than that. Then look
at the ignorance of the lower strata of
this portion of the nation ; look at their
poverty, their sufferings, their utter
hopelessness of good. Why, in the
Armirican Southern States, during the
reign of Slavery, every negro had an
idea that there was a day of jubilee
for him. "Verily," they used to say,
"the Lord will come and deliver us."
But in this class, th a. lowest strata of
the population of your country, I ven

thing better for them, nor scarcely is
there any aspiration after it."
