EikellittanughOntttc THURSDAY. MAY 9. Ise7 CONSERVATItIiIf The Conservatives of Tennessee re - .jcently assembled in State Convention at :Nashville. Naturally enough, a major ity of the delegates were rebels, whose disloyalty was so conspicuous as to dis franchise them under the laws. Of course, they were stoutly opposed. to all vigOrous or*violent measures on the part of the notional government and its sup porters. If they had only been allowed, as they desired, a monopoly of harsh proceedings ; if they had been permit ! toil to make war on the public autherl ' tics, without having war made on them; ,if they hid 'been sufferedzo spurn and repudiate the Constitution, instead of being constrained to submit to its revi _Stun and enforcement; If they had been tolerated in-the wildest views and the most lawless codduct, to the extent of • setting up a hopeless and perpetual des potion over millions of the native in ' habitants of the country ; their Ideas of conseivalism would have been fulfilled. For, the fact stands out in the history of this eemstry, as of all other's, that a Con servative is necessarily a Fanatic, not of the present, nor of the [attire, but of the pasta go back -through the ages, and cierywhefis youfuid him at the conge nial employment of building hostiles, working thumb screws, hot pinchers and acks, , and lighting the fires of auto. dafees. At frequent Intervals, he plies the trade of framing penal statutes de,- aligned to tarnish him with victims; to albp thti-developtherit of new ideas in acience,morols and religion ; and to pre vent darkness from being intruded upon by light: = P.SwW-before he was inocu lated with the "pestilent heresy," was one, o such ,; su ; but he was quite another Masi titter he._became a radical. Then 'he wits vitalized with human sympathies, • and gave the world an impulse forward which it feels and responds to even now. • Mr. Et.i,r,dx Wstinu, of Harding county, .was made President of this State Convention. He was vouched for by the gentleman who nominated hint as "loyal" till through the great strug gle. But his account of himself did not sustain this enceinium. lie made, it a matter of congratulation that he lied never before taken any part in political affairs. He was in Tennessee during all the agitations that preceded and atten ded the rebellion. He witnessed the at •tempt to take that State out of the • Union; but tali patriotism was of so plac id-a kind as not to be excited to resist - ance. Ho, new deadly blows aimed at lhevitals of the governMent, and made no efforts to Ward them off. He saw treason rearing heads on every side and hissing its hate et the Union, and con spiring its overthrow; but he was too eminently conservative to meddle with politics. Ile stood by,-at best an uneon cerned spectator, while great mimes against law and order were perpetuated; and was too , dignified or too consenting to interpose to prevent the continuance of the wrong. Only when the, govern- Iment gets the upper-hands of the erimi, nala,andiproposezr to subject some of them to moderate and compassionate discipline, does he get excited, and al low his feelings to betray which side he - 'was on all the while. He was not afraid Maws, Liz 'and J 011159015 would do violence to the national: constitution or Its defenders, but his fears are wonder . but that the republican'majonty in Con , - _grcsa will touch. that great instrument ir reverently, with at least the tips of their fingers. • This is genuine conservatism; tattly . of a:tulltt type.: Mr. Ur. Drucker B. Tnosses, of Maury county, was n more advanced specimen. Be did not conceal that he was a rebel; 1 , and maintained that people who believed In secessicia had a right to reverie. He forgot that by parity of reasoning they who believe in coercion have a right to favor it, especially when the Constitu tion and laws are clearly on their side; and that having effectually coerced the rebels they have acquired all the rights of conquerors In addition to what they had before. When men of sense appeal to the sword, invoking the Clod of Bat tles to decide, they comprehend they have taken their case out of the Judicial Department, and that if they fail it 61 unmanly to whine and seek to avoid the consequences, of the arbitrament they challenged.' Following the latest Conservative fash ion this Convention was supplied with a negro orator. Ile was fitly chosen in point of intellectual qualifications, for le Is represented as both illiterate and stupid: On the patriotic side an outfit for the servieo demanded of him was equally appropriate; for he had deserted from the Union army in the face of the enemy and had received the most degra sling punishment: It. is farther known that ho had served three years In one o f the Pennsylvaninpadtentiaries. Wheth er hit obtained that eiperience in conse queno of conservative Indulgence, or an unaccountable perversion of radical ism, no data is furnished for determining. 'hie whole drift of the speeches was in'denunciation of the government, first tor having resisted the rebels, and af terwards, for not taking them to its arms as entitled to the highest confidence and promotion.. • I Row, it mtistle admitted the Conser 'actives are in an onpleasant situation. They indulged high eipectations of Immense, and' substantial achievements, In founding a government of their. own, 7.lutt should not simply subordinate nd= radicalism, but exclude It. Under this goverivinent there was to be no now and aliatirsblag ideas no discuyion and revision of old 'habits ; no reaching for ward to a better condition of society.

Tire Post informs the public that- the GAZETTE charged for . : advertising the Southern Belief Movement in this city. In reply we Lyn to state that the ter _lisements in question were sent to this office from the Pail, with instnictithis to charge that establishment. ' If the Rat had evinced half the zeal to put down the rebellion it has display ed toyelieve Southern destitution, there .would be less suffering , in that section demanding aid. Its present zeal leads to the inference that it seeks rather to sub serve some butler-as or political end of its warn than , to give vent to its supera bounding benevolence. SCEI33S pFanguo that Judge SHAHS VoOD: oil'hiladelpht a, will be the Dem Caulk: candidate for Bupreme Judge, HEPILIBIACAN PARTY AT THE Fount It will be remembered that soon afier Mr. IL G. Revuoterf, Chairman of the National Republican Committee, joined President:roil - sox in his scheme to break up that organization, the Repub lican members of Congress deslgnated,a new National Committee. This latter body has entered in earnest upon the work•of organizing the Republican par ty throughout the Southern States. llt does not confine its efforts to correspon dence with here and there an individual, and the circulation of documents among such is are Eupposed to be favorable to the enterprise, but is giving much t- tention to organizing numerous subordi nate agencies, to , providing for public meetings and to sending represents 'ye northern men to address the people. Mr. IL W. Wnsos went South some days ago, under the anspices of this Committee, and was foltowed by Mr. Wm. D. KELLEY and Mr} .1. W. NYE, While neither of these gentlemen pos sess talents of the highest order, they are justly entitled to rank among I d i truly representative men of the republl can persuasion, for they have not only been in the advanced rank, but have maintained a rare steadiness and consis tency. Wz_tson and KELLEY are wide ly reputed throughout the South. NYE, though less known, is decidedly superi or to either of them, in tact, versality and brilliance, as a rostrum speaker. So far, we do not think Mr. WILSON'S 'Southern speeches have been successful. Whether he was piqued by the absten tion of the leading whites from meet ings he Was announced to. attend, or unconsciously allowed somewhat of the bitterness of old controversies to reap. pear, it is not safe to amide ; but an under-tone of superiority was allowed to run through hisdiscourses which good taste should have led him to suppress. Be represents the victorious party in the great controversy, which has signalized its magnanimity beyond all parallel in history, whatever its opponenti may say to the contrary. That party has im posed conditions, lenient in their nature, but which necessarily gall those who are required to comply therewith, when they had hoped, through bad ad vice and deceitful promises, to have no exactions laid on them. As that party has been magnanimous, and means so to be to the end, it would be well to have it so reported by the manners and bearing of its agents. Parties must and will be formed anew at the South. Organize ; dens cannot long survive the issues upon which they are founded. At tke South the past has been literally swept out. In individual ,minds many of the former states of feeling remain, and will be more qr less controlling for Short periods. But the new facts will assert their claims and speedily range men into parties in accordance there with. Because a man was a Democrat under the pro-slavery regime, it does not follow he will remain one now that slavery has dissolved, and universal free dom been established. ARdr ti . ; little, when thi Southern States shall h!ave re sumed thi . ir places in the Union, Snd the advantages of the new status till ala• pear, great, mutations will arise i South ern political circles. What we ibsist is that Repub icons sent ,on popular em bassies into t section'should so carry themselves to quicken those muta tions. NIGHT WO 4 g is reputed to to prejudi cial to health. The N. Y. Tribune, 'in announcing th retirement of Mr. D. P. RHOADES fr.. that concern, soya : "Ills contiev lon with Tns TIIIIITISS, dates from the first number of the paper, April 10, 16-11 1 and since that time he has been in c arge of the distribution of its editions, attending to the demands of agents and ci 'criers, and sending the Ex press bundle —a difficult and important duty, which required him to be in the publication-office at 9p. m., and to re main until the entire edition of , the pi:per_hatt been delivered in the morn. ing. With the exception of two years employed in the composing-room, Mr. Rhoades has been absent from his post but six nights in 26 years, and not on c frpm sichness." ' ;This goes to show that regularity of hiibits is of more importance than that rest should be taken during the darknesl or night.

The following article, translated from the Cologne Goreue probably gives as intelh gent and tllaris4siouate as account of the territory as oaq now be presented, If the cession of the whole of Russian America ,to the United States la ratified, it will bo a very important event: not because the acensltion of itterers tract of laud by the United States premises an incrense of pow er; for territorial extension isnot desirable, and Busman America is no paradise; yet It may prove an eldorado In fn., and Its situ. uLion on the Northwest coast of the Conti. neut will be of great. significance.
