COLVELLr., City. DENIAL OE REPREAENTAT hr.'s The Conservatives keep up a prodi clamor about what they arc pleased t i de. nominate the denial to the people of the Southern States of representation iu Congress. In the strong colors of fervid imagination they represent these people as meekly knockinct at the National door, and humbly Imploring the recognition of their just rights. The portraiture is drawn with such pathos as to move the sensibili ties of people who are swayed more by their feelings than their judgments. These people are confessedly on the out side of the dtior, or they would not be plead ing to get inside. How came they outside? This question goes to the very marrow of the case. No man will pretend that they were thrust out. The utmost claimed is that by the exercise of the right of free dis cussion on the part of some of the North ern people their position, inside was ten dered uncomfortable. What business had they to be made uncomfortable by the ex. cruise of an Undoubted and inestimabit privilege by some of their fellow citizens Did they really constitute an aristocratic class before whom other people were bound tb sink their rights, and forego the use of them? Mr. ALEXANDER D. STEMIENS, of Georgia, is one of those who are trying to get in. He made a pilgrim age, recently, all the way to Philadel phia, to see if something could not be done to open the door in a way satisfactory to his pride. J.nst as Mr. Simms:vs was going out, five years ago, he made a speech of great celebrity. In it he declared that neither he nor they who were followinl, him had any proper reason for going; that the whole movement was unprovoked—in violation of law and right. Ile told the simple truth_ The stampede was demo cratic, and was executed with such momen tum that it swept along unwillingly most I of the Southern people who were not dem ocrats. All the willows were certainly bowed. Only the gnarled and giant oaks stood erect, What had the democratic party to complain of? For fifty years it bad dominated in the national councils. At no time, in that long period, had all three of the co-ordinate branches of the government been against it: Seldom had it lost the President or both branches of Congress. The laws, as they stood on the statute books, were written there by demo crats. The policy of the nation, for good or evil, was steadily a democratic policy. Whatever was well done the democrats were mainly entitled to credit for, and w hut ever-was done badly they were mainly cen surable for. The party of the minority bad only exercised a restraining and mod ifying influence, powerful indeed, but not substantive. If the South was wronged through the action of the government, it was wronged by the Democrats. But it was.not wronged. The grievance of the Southern Democrats was that they could not domineer over. the thoughts, and opin ions, and utterances of Northern men. Ito quickening sensitiveness of Northern consciences to the crime and shame of sla very was held to bean abomination. When the Republicans beat the Democrats at a Presidential election, the unpardonable sin was committed. The Democrats had come, in the arrogance of continued success, to feel that the government belonged to them by prescription, and that their opponents, so far as related to political affairs, were only hewers of wood and drawers of wa ter. Hence, they held defeat to be humili alien. The Southern section rushed out of the door, slamming it behind them. The Northern section wanted to go, but as they bad none of the State governments in their power, they failed to find a way out. Nor 'bur long and dreary years the section that was out, battered away at the door, the windows, and the walls, trying to de molish the whole superstructure. The sec tion that was in, hindered the defence in all possible ways- So intense was their rage they wore willing to run the risk of being crushed by falling beams, and roofs, and walls, if they could only bring on a general smash up. Over In the Western Penitentiary are a crowd of men who have so managed as to got outside the pale of political society. They are denied representation in Con gress, and participation, in all other ways, in the affairs of government. They are ready to "accept the situation;" and in as good faith as Mr. EITEVIIE.NS Sad his set. Why do not the Conservatives bewail the harelips to which these culprits are ex posed? Why do they not get ups National Convention, and promulgate a Platform of Political Orthodoxy applicable to their case? It is easy to see that slight modifi cations in expression would adapt the Phil - ndelphia resolutions to this purpose. Why not? • Perhaps sotto conservative will meet us herewith a stern rebuke for comparing the Southern rebels to common criminals. This exception , may bo well taken; but if another question will come up, which Is, to whom shall apology he made thirebels or the convicts? We do not discourse this way for love of badinage.

The demand la reasonable that crimes shall not be condoned except npon satis factory evidence of penitence. We are cou tent that all crimes shall be forgiven on that b: iasis. Once satisfy us that any crimin al in the Penitentiary had heartily repent ed of his faults, not because of the punish meat to which it subjected him, but because it was in itself an - evil and an abominable thing, and we would open hit prison doors and let him go free, if the high prerogative of pardon pertained to us. In like manner would we deal with rebels. Most of the conservatives virtually maintain that trea son is no crime, and, hence, entails no pen alties and works no forfeiture. With such we do not stop to reason. Some of them, however, profess that the rebels have re pented, and so ought to be taken back into fellowship. If they believe the repentance genuine, then they ought to act according ly. But, we do not so believe. The evi deno3 before us does not work any such conviction. Shall we be concluded by those in whose verdict we do not agree? The mass of the men who stood by the Gov ernment in Its greatest peril do not see suf ficient evidence of genuine repentance. Shall they be overborne by rebels and sym pathisers with such? Surely, it remains the rule of justice and safety that the loyal men of the nation shall control its destinies. TUE BLEICTIONEEIUNG TOUR President JOHNSON, accompanied by some members of his Cabinet, together with Gen. GRANT, Admiral FAUUAGUT and others, set out on Tuesday morning, osten sibly to go to Chicago to be present at the laying of the corner stone of the monu mont in honor of the Into Hon. STErGEN A. DOUGLAS. IL was perfectly proper that the President of the United States should have been invited to he present on that occasion, and it was equally proper that he should accept the invitation. So far all is right enough, and It is all right that the chief commanders of the army and the navy should accompany him on such a mission, and unite with him in doing honor to the memory of a departed statesman. But that such a pilgrimage should be unto(' into an electioneering tour; that the . . . .. _ high and distinguished character and de portment which the incumbent of that cx• aped office ought to maintain in the pres ence of his countrymen of all parties and opinions should be laid aside, and those of the partisan and demagogue assumed, is a spectacle calculated to sicken and disgust all right-minded men, be their opinions what they may. His conduct has been such, even on the first evening of his excursion, as to render it impossible for men who have any self-respect to pay those honors to the chief magistrate of the Republic, in his person, which they have ever been at, costumed to pay. Look at the report of his reception in Philadelphia. A crowd gathered in Chestnut street, in t'rout of the Continental,. attracted, doubtless, by vari ons motives and feelings— many really de sirou.s, it may be, of doing honor to their country in the person of him who happen ed, for the time being, to be its chief. It was evident that they did not expect a speech. They did not, so fax as the ac count goes, call for one. Very likely the majority did not want one, or if they did, they felt that it would be grossly indelicate to make him a stump orator on such au oc casion, and on such a mission. But as the telegraph informs us, "the crowd, perceiv ing that the President was about to address them, surged to and fro, a nil moved closer, if possible, to the hotel." He was charg ed with a speech and must let it off. The opportunity was too good to be I4L And such a speech! The President was forgot. ten; STE:MIEN A.. DOUGLAS was forgotten ; all was forgotten but ANDREW JOIUNsoN and "my policy': and my party. It was from first to last simply the outgiving of a partisan and a demagogue—an appeal to the baser passions of his auditors, interlar ded with studied-insults to better men than himself. We have said that ANDREW Jounsoa, by his course, has rendered it impossible for the people to show those honors to their Chief Magistrate. in his person, which they have ever been accustomed to pay, irre spective of party; and hence our City Councils did right iu refusing to pay him ,any civic honors should he see proper to pass this way. They knew the man. They knew that if he came here he would be very likely to insult the majority of our citizens, for he seems to have no idea of the common proprieties and decencies of life, much less of the dignity of the high station which ho unfortunately occupies. One poor comfort may be drawn from all this, and that is, that a man so blatant, so destitute of ordinary discretion, is not Cory dangerous ; and that conduct so out rageous will prevent him from getting a strong hold upon the hearts of any but the coarsest, the vilest, and the most disloyal of the people. —]luny of our readers will remember the great meteoric shower of November, 1833, which was visible through North America. These meteoric showers are t a u id n iyg astronomers s t o o f b a e b o p t r t i h od ir ic y a -t hrreee years. Professor Newton, of Yale Col lege, who has - devoted much time to the investigaticm of tin!, subject, states that a similar phenomenon will probably occur about the 13th or 14th of November next, and so confident are astronomers that it will then appear, that extensive prepara tions are being made by scientific me. in Europe to observe it. But thirteen ap pearances of meteoric showers are recorded since the year 803. —The work of rebuilding the city of Charleston engages the attention of her au• thorities and citizens.
