VOL XXII,
[Prom tho Philadelphia Daily Noire.]
The Philadelphia National Conven-
We publish the following to show our
readers what feeling exists in the
Union party in Philadelphia. The
News is a liepublican paper.
There has been many—alas ! too
many—partyconventions in this coun
try, called together to define and give
success to the political and sectional
views of one party against another.
Of such conventions wo have already
reaped the bitter fruit in the divided
counsels and bitter party and sectional
animosities which, culminating in a
civil war, inflicted upon.the nation the
direct curse to which God in his wrath
can abandon a stiff necked and sinful
generation. We want no more such
conventions, at this time at least. The
nation, bleeding at every porn, and
weighed down with oppressive taxa
tion, may truly sayof them, as Job did
of his self conceited and self-seeking
counselors, miserable comforters are
ye all.
Shall vain- words never have an end,
or no other end than raising ono party
over another? and that at the sacri
fice of our common country, which
each party has been professing to serve,
while, in truth, they have been only
serving themselves through the de
struction of the government. What we
want, then, for the
_restoration of the
country, is not a party but a national
convention—that is, a convention of
citizens from every section of the Re
public, whose drily object shall be, in
the spirit of christian charity, and in
opposition to the spirit of party ani
mosity and sectional jealousy and
strife, to devise such measures of peace,
harmony, and good will, as shall re
unite, in social and commercial inter
course, our great American brother
hood, on thoso broad, comprehensive,
christian and national principles,which
make us one people, doing unto others
as we would be done by, forgetting the
things which aro behind and pressing
forward to those that aro before.
Such we presume to be the patriotic
object of the convention to assemble in
our city on the 14th of August next.
It seems peculiarly fitting and proper
that Philadelphia above all other pla
ces should be honored with this great
national assembly, whose only and all
important object is to perpetuate the
work of our fathers, a work conceived
in good will to every section of our
common country,. and based from its
foundation on the confiding and co
operating sense and sentiment of all
the people, of all the States embraced
in this great American brotherhood.
Ignoring parties - and sections, for
getting past differences and their bloody
isues, content with the triumph of our
arms, and with the maintenance of the
just jurisdiction of our flag over every
foot of our national domain, what
work can uow so commend itself to
the approbation and co operation of
every good man as the great work of
reconciliation, the very mission of our
holy religion of peace and good will ?
To know how to use a victory is a far
greater art, and calls into action far
higher facilities, than the winning it,
inasmuch as he who ruleth his own
spirit is declared by the divine word to
be greater than ho that taketh a city.
To conquer hearts, to conciliate aliena
ted brethren, to restore goodfellowahip
and feeling, is a work which angels
might emulate and devils envy ; and
this is to bo the work of our great Na
tional Union convention. Let us then,
roe the credit of our city and for the
salvation of our common country, do
all in our powOr to countenance and
sustain by our sympathies and co.ope•
ration of our brethren from all sections
of our broad and glorious heritage, in
this great national work and labor of
love, of peace and good will.
Let those who come to this conven
tion drop at the door sill, as they enter
it, their old party habiliments and
phrases. Let them come only as Amer
icans, as levers of the Union, as devo
tees of liberty, and as the pioneer of a
now generation whose• business and .
duty it shall bo to re-establish that
harmony and fraternity that were so
ruthlessly destroyed by the misguided
men who rebelled against the govern
ment and phinged us into war. Mon
should not come to this convention as
Dowerats or Republicans, but as pa
triots, and in accordance with the sen
timent of the following proceedings,
which were had in the National John
son Club, of this city on Friday even
ing last:
Proprietor
Whereas, in suppressing the late re
bellion by force of arms, it was most
apparent that many of the so called
leaders or managers of the Democratic
party were arrayed against the people
in their effort to maintain intact our
theretofore glorious republic.
And whereas, since the crushing of
the said robalion, and the surrender
of the rank, file, and entire rebel army,
as prisoners of war, the loaders of the
so called Union party, in the councils
of the nation, have violated the genius
of our republican form of government,
and are fast driving us to centraliza
tion, setting at nought the landmarks
as established by our patriotic ances
tors; therefore
Resolved, That we,
the members of
tho National Union Johnson Club of
the city of Philadelphia,hereby declare
that we hailed with joy the first call
for a national convention to inaugurate
a new party, based upon the Constitu
tion of 1798. .
tion,
Resolved, That no ono should be ad
mitted to that convention but those
who come ignoring old party lines, and
who are determined to restore every
State to her equal status in our sower
ign confederation.
Resolved, That a copy of the fore
going be forwarded to the National
Johnson Club at Washington, duly at
tested.

-PERSEVERE.--
Studied Injustice,
The Harrisburg Telegraph is the cen s
tral Union organ of the State. It is so
accepted and is without a rival in its
sphere. The Union party bas,therefore
a right to expect of it at least fairness
to a State administration-whose achieve
ments are the pride of the people who
have so nobly created and sustained it.
They might oven expect that it should
bo generous in its dealing with 4 an Er
ecutive whose name is a house hold
word with the Union people of the
State ; but it has latterly seemed to
cherish no higher ambition than to at
tack covertly, and defame by inuondo
and suppression of the truth, the Uni
on State administration. What in
fatuation or factious passion has seiz
ed it, we do not pretend to explain,
but it shudders at the devotion of a
loyal people toa faithful Governor,and
seeks in vain to create alienation and
distrust. •
A few weeks ago, when it was an-
nouncod that the Executives of the
other leading States had refused to co ,
operate with Gov. Curtin in calling
extra sessions to ratify the constitu
tional a rne ndme n ts,the Telegraph trea
ted the question as settled. It made
no demand for an extra session in Penn
sylvania, because it could give no rea
son therefor. Subsequently, when it
was definitely ascertained that an ex
tra session in this State would be a
fruitless expense, and a palpable con
fession of our distrust of the people in
the coming election, because the action
of Pennsylvania would not hasten the
success of the• amendments, Gov. Cur
tin answered a notee - from Col. Jordan
in which he stated the facts fully, and
defended hig own position in clear and
patriotic terms. That letter we learn,
was furnished to the Telegraph for pub
lication on the 10th inst., in advance
of its publication elsewhere; but it has
until now been suppressed. And not
content with concealing from its read
ers the letter of Gov. Curtin on a ques.:
tion so important, not only to the ad
ministration but to the party, it pubs
fished an article several, days after: the
Governor's letter was in its possession
denouncing him for not acting in the
matter, and grossly misrepresenting
the material facts connected with the
determination of the question.
The assertion of the Telegraph that
a majority of the Union members had
requested him to call an extra session,
has no foundation in fact. On the 4th
of July a number of Union members,
certainly not exceeding twenty five,
met in Philadelphia and consulted on
the question. A majority seemed to
prefer an extra session, but they were
not united in favor of it. The writer
hereof was in the city at the time and
consulted with a: number of the mem
bers on the subject. We speak advis—
edly therefore when wo say that the
majority of the
,Union members did
not ask an extra session, nor did they
propose to meet without compensation.
Individual members were doubtless
willing to do so, but no one pretended
to speak for the legislature.
The course Gov. Curtin pursued as
to an extra session was adopted after
full consultation with leading Union
mon throughout the State, and it was
earnestly desired by Col. Jordan,Chair
man of the Union State Committee,
who doubtless judged the question in
a great degree by probable political re
sults. In addition, the entire Union
press of the State—the Telegraph only
excepted—either advised such a course
or cordially acquiesced in it after the
publication of Gov. Curtin's unanswer
able lett( lie defined the position of
affairs so clearly, both as regards po
litical policy and practical results, that
no Union journal has attempted to
question its wisdom but the Telegraph
and it is careful to suppress the Gov
ernor's reasons for his action.
If the Telegraph is aiming to forfeit
the confideneo of the Union party, and
the respect of all lovers of truth and
fairness, it promises to achieve a bril
iant success ; hut if it moans to claim
to be a Union organ, it cannot too soon
learn it owes to the representatives
men of that party at least a decent
respect for voracity. It has an un
doubted right to choose which ever
path i 1 prefers. We take it for gran
ted that it has counted the cost and is
prepat;ed for the logical results of its
policy.— Chambersburg Repository.

From the New York Tribune
The Game of Ball.
The physique of Americans has long
been a vulnerable point for the attacks
of foreigners on the weaknesses of our
countrymen, and hitherto we have too
well deserved these palpable hits from
our healthy out-door-sport-loving cous
ins of England. Of late years, howev
er, an improvement has been manifes
ted in this country in this respect, and
a reformation hail been introduced
which bids, fair to bo of great benefit
in permanently removing this just
oauso of censure, and in bringing us up
to the physical standard of, our fora
fathers, whose well-exercised muscles
enabled them to lay the forests of the
wilderness low,and whose powers of en
durance led them to withstand so man
fully thefatigues 'of the great seven
years struggle for independence.
Among the most influential causes
of this desirable reformation has been
the establishment of a national out
door sport, something we wore not
possessed of even so !ate as ton years
ago. Of course our sports must neces
sarily be of foreign origin, as are the
sports of England of Norman and Bo
man descent, but we can as fairly
claim for our national game 'of 'Base
Ball—as played in, accordance with
the rules of the "National Association
of Base Ball Players"—an originality
as an American institution as the Eng
lish can for their peculiarly national
sport of horse racing. Without fur
ther discussion on this point, however,
lot it suffice that the game of Base ball
as perfected of late years, is an Amer
ican game, and one we can honorably
claim as our national out-door sport.
As Cricket is to the Englishman, so
has Base Ball become to the Ameri
can. In England, Cricket has more
devoted °admirers, and more ardent
followers, than any pastime known to
the English people. On the Cricket
field, and there only, the peer and the
peasant meet on equal terms; the pos
session of courage and nerve, judgment
and skill, endurance and activity,
alone giving the palm of superiority.
In fact, a more democratic institution
does not exist in Europe than this self
same Cricket; and as regards its great
popularity, the records of the thous
ands of games played each year, which
include the names of lords as well as
commoners, divines as well as lawyers,
legislators as well as artisans, and lit
erateurs as well as mechanics and pea
saute, shows how-greatly it has taken
hold of that people. If this is the
characteristic of Cricket in aristocratic
England, how much more will it mark
Base Ball in Democratic A.merica ?
Unreflecting and prejudiced individ
uals, who never look below the surface
of things, may regard both Cricket
and Base Ball as "very good things
for boys, perhaps," or "to pass away
an idle hour or two on a holiday;" but
those who intelligently investigate
subjects in regard to cause and effect,
see in both these games, but especially
in Base Ball, the . means to 'an end
which..has been sought for in vain for
years past on this side Of the Atlantic.
As a means of physical cultivation,
Base Ball is one of the most commend
able in vogue. Asa remedy, also, for
many of the evils accruing, from, the
immoral associations the youths of our
cities and towns aro liable to, this
game merits the indorsement of the
best classes of the community. The
Rev. C. - }l. Everst, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
in a sermon on Physidal Education,
which be lately delivered, made .a spe
cial allusion to -Base Ball as a game
"whose regulations aro calculated to
prevent the ill feelings engendered by
other games, and ono, moreover, which
serves to attract our young men from
places of bad repute, and to supply the
right kind of exercise and amusement"
This opinion has been practically en
dorsed by several clergymen of Phila
delphia, who last year formed them
selves into a Base Ball Club for pur
poses of healthful and moral recreation
in imitation of the hundreds of English
parsons who take such delight in play
ing Cricket on the commons of their
villages.
But one of the strongest inducements
to tho popularity of our American
game of ball is, that it is an out-door
sport, and almost the only ono which
ladies can countenance and witness.—
American ladies have hitherto been
shut out from all the pleasures inci
dent to such games as Base Ball and
Cricket, such as tho gratification of
Witnessing manly contests for superi
ority in courage, activity, good tem
per and judgment,-by the low char
acter of the surrounding and ass°•
ciations of most of the sports men
indulge in. In Base Ball, however,
we have an exception in their favor
which they have not been slow to take
advantage of as the patronage of the
hundreds of the fair sex who have for

Ball matches wi / th_their welcome pres 2
ence can testify. If our national past
time had no other,recornmendatiod
than this, this fact would suffice Ito
give it a popularity no other recreated
could compete with in the estimation
of Americaue.
Base. Ball, as now played by, tfar
clubs of the National Association, is a ,
New York institution, and it differs
materially from the' game in.vegue' inr
New England, the' latter of which
within the past five 'years has almost
become obsolete. During thd late war
the soldiers of both , the contesting,aiN
mies made the game a means of recre
ation in their camps and prisorr
grounds, and by this means has it been
introduced into the South. This yeas
the organization of a Base Ball club.
at the University of Virginia will give
the game an impetus in lhe &nth
which will lead to its being one of the
most 'vular, recreations in which the
leisure classes of the "land of chivalry"'
are prone to indulge, especially mak
is a sport, which the Southern belles
can patronize as do their compeers of
the. English nobility; the Cricket match
es of the Collegians of Oxford` and
Cambridge. In fact, whether. _Base
Ball be regarded as a desirable means
of physical exercise, an exciting game
for the masses, or &recreation which is
devoid of every reasonable objection
that the most fastidious moralist could
interpose, it is equally to be commend
ed to the patronage of every American,
