His sufferings after the drop fell may have been unusually brief, but who can measure the sufferings of the wrotch in hiscell.

It was too much to expect (hat the intelligent body of the sincere fricnds of Ireland would refrain from condemning a national policy which ignored them as coolly as it did the loyal men in the South, or hesitate to muke common cause with the friends of impartial freedom everywhere. Irish- meu from this day forth promise to show an inde- pendence in politics which wo heartily approve aud welcome. The leadership of the race in this country must be given to the men of foremost ideas and honests, without whom their cause cannot speak unashamed to tho sympathy of the world. Be it said to the honor of the Feuians their recent open stand for impartial freedom is their own voluntary doing. Gov. Fonton bas apoken for the whole Union party in requesting Sonators Morgan and Harris to nd the Couvention of Southern Unionists in Philadelphia pext month. Not enly New-York, but the entire North, desires to sustain this Convention, It will represout the men of the South who can be trusted. To them Mr. Lincoln desi to intrust the work of reconstruction, and Mr. Johnson, with equal empha- | sis, afterward declared that the four or five thousand Union men of a Rebel State bad the sole right to gov- | ern it, while all others should be excluded. Those who do not attach any value to the jons of the | dead President may pouder the words of the | living; they cloarly show how these Bouthern Union- ists were regarded during the war. Then all recog- nized the fidelity to the Government which survived confiscation of property, exile, aud persecutions in- numerable. When Mr. Stephens of Georgia, and Mr. Orr of South Carolina, and the crowd of Southerners who rushed to the Randall Convention, were doing their best to destroy the Union, such men as Mamil- ton aud Underwood were true. The Union party does not forget their fidelity, and the September Con- vention will be looked upon as the first thorough effort on the part of the South to fairly meet the just demands of Congress. we ean imagine the answer of the Pennsylvania ator. But Swmer, Trumbull, Wade, Brown, | Fessenden, Wilson, and other Senators who bave deserted their constituents, will do well to unite with Messrs. Morgan and Harris. A welcowe should be given to the Southern Unionists, which would show that it is not the South to which the loyal North is opposed, but solely to the Southern leaders who would dictate the terms of amnesty and readmission, —_— THEIR PLIGHTED FAITH? This question is distinetly presented by the* procee ings and results of the late Philadelphia Convention, t can no longer be evaded nor ignored. Gen. Dix, Senators Doolittle and Cowan, Mr. Henry J. Ray- mond—every one of the oracles and mouth-pieces of the Convention—in their studiously prepared utter- ances, coldly turn over the loyal Blacks of the South to the tender mercies of their late Rebel masters. There is not one word, one hint, in all the manifes- toes of this Convention which recognizes or implies that the Republic owes either gratitude or protection to the Blacks who aided to save it, or gives them any hope of preservation or deliverance from any fate to which the defeated Rebels may see fit to consign them. Not even their fellow-soldier, Gen. Dix—who might be supposed to feel some twinge of the sensi- bilities of Military Honor—gives them one word of recoguition or of hope. Mr. Raymond, in his Address, is emphatic in his assertions of the rights of the Union, of the States, of the ex-Rebels; but he recognizes no obligations what- ever as due from the rescued and vindicated Union to its Black eoldiers. Nay: he coolly repudiates even the obligation solemnly assumed by the Republie, with the explicit if not hearty sssent of the States lately in rebellion. He says: * Neither the war, nor the victory by which it was closed, changed in auy way the Constitution of the United States. ‘The war was carried on by virtue of ite provisions, and under the limitations which they prescribe, and the t of the war did not either enlarge, abridge, nor in any way change or affoct the powers it confers upon the Federal Government, or release that Goverament from the restrictions which it has mposed. . ' The Conatitation of the United States is to-duy precisuly 65 it was before the war,” &e. These assertions are directly in the teeth of the Constitutional Amendment which President Johnson insisted that every Rebel State should ratify, and which Becretary Seward has certified and proclaimed a valid, integfal part of the Federal Constitution. It is in these words: _““8rcTioN 1. Nejther Slavery nor involuntary ser- vitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their Jurisdiction, ¢ **SEC, 2, CONGRESS SHALL WAVE POWER TO EN- FORCE THIS ARTICLE BY APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.” Before this Amendment was adopted, the States were, with certain non-essential reservations, omnip- otent in their dealings with their own inhabitants SHALL THE LOYAL MILLIONS BREAK | dead is wasted, as there is no hope that tears will ef- | fect a resurrection, but as what he says mauy people W-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, 8 New-York, through Gov.

RSB ER W R ERA sousyen a te has any longer a right (as o cither formally or virtually, its own people; and Congress is clothed with the power, and charged with the duty of protecting all our people from State oppression, This duty, the present Congress bas endeavored faithfully to dis- charge, through the maintenance of the Freedmen's Iburean, the passage of the Rights act, and tho newly proposed Amendment whereby a State which distranchises any portion of its people, except for crime, is precluded from counting that portion as a basis of representation in Congress. These, with every attempt of Congress to protect the Southern Blacks from Rebel persecution and oppregsion, bave been met with the deadliest, most envenomed hostility, by the entire Johnson party ond every division of it—Rebel, Copper- head, and apostate Republican alike. And every utterance of the Philadelphia Convention implies & determination that this vital part of the Federal Constitution shall henceforth be nullified. * There is o desire or purpose to reéstablish Slavery,” says Cowan’s platform. Yes, Sir! but suppose such desiro and purpose should hereafter bo formed by any State, what is our security against the gratification of thal desire, the fulfillment of that purpose? Notoriously, vassalgo could be restored by legislative devioes and legal constructions which would defy successful re- sistance ifit were not for the power confided to Con- gress to “ enforce” the above article by ** appropriate ogislation.” And that power exists in the teeth of the Philadelphia Convention, with all its works and ways. I3t not plain that a Congress choson under the auspices of that Convention will utterly refuso to enforce the Constitutional guarsntee? What do we daity hear from the entire Johnson party with regard to the late New-Orleans massacre ? Mr. Raymond’s address, while in terms ignoring the Coustitutional Amendment, in effect denies its validity. He says: It is the unquostionable right of the of (he United States to make such changes in_the Constitution as they, u‘ol due deliboration, may desm e: iont. But wo insist that thoy shall bs made in the mode which the Constitation Itaell points out—in conformity with the letter and the apirit of that y portion of instrument, aud with the principies of self government and of equal rights which lio at the buais of our blioan institu- tions. Wa dony the right of Congress to make those changes in the fandamantal law without the concurrenca of three- fourths of all the States, including_especially those to be most oted by thom; of Lo imposs them upon States or coaditions of represeatation. or of admission to any ta, dutios or obligations which belong under the Conatitation to all the States alike.” —Now it is notorious a3 the sun in beaven that the Convention of every Rebel State has adopted the Constitutional Amendment under duress—adopted it Deeanse made to understand that thoy must. South Carolina and Mississippi would have spurned it as Delaware and Kentucky did; only they wero out and wanted to get in; while Delaware and Kentucky wero in and entitled to stay in. If the fundamentel doctrines of the Philadelphia Convention are sound, then Slavery rightfully exists at the South to-day, and must continue to exist until ‘* the States most serfously to bo affected " by its abolition shall freely and voluntarily do what they have hitherto done only under Exceutive or Military compulsion. Bat lot us look more directly at the case of our Black Union soldiers: Usnquestionably, thero was a timo when we might have received the revolted States back to loyalty and left the Blacks where the Rebellion found thom. Up to January 1, 1963, wo wero at perfect liberty and were generally willing to do so. Even after that, Lad we been constrained to make terms with the Re- Lellion, we held that our obligation extended only to those Blacks who had rendered service to the Union But the Robellion was persisted in until utterly erushed out by force of arms—crushed out in part by the valor of Blacks, whom stern neoessity had forced us to annand call into tho field. of thess, the number actually in service when the Re- bellion collapsed was certainly over Ono Hundred Thousand, and probably equal to all the Rebel soldiers left in the army on the day of Lee's aurrender. Now, we hold that the faithful service of these loyal Biacks, with the completencss of our trinmph, {nvolves the Nation in duties which it can- not repudiste without perfily and burving shame. To allow these disbauded Union soldiers to bo stripped of their hard-carned arms by Rebels, as they have been in several of the “restored” States—to be taxed at will by embittered Rebels for the education of those Rebels' children, while their own are allowed instruction whatever—to have their testi- mony r every way under the feet of those they helped us to vanquish—this is dishonor, it is treachery, it is blast- ing crime. Yet this is what wo are required to do by the Blairs and Raymonds recently assemblod in the Philadelphia Convention. THE GOOD OLD TIMES, 1u the peroration of Gen. Dix's speech before the Randall Convention he uttered, with the most melan- choly effect, that moan over the glories of the past which oetogenarian stage-drivers unbosom when they see a steam engine. There are many descendants of Mrs. Lot who, like Gen, Dix, look back in sorrowful regret and forward with fear and trembling. To such .people, who are the salt of the earth in a very unfor- tunate sense, Gen. Dix's admiration of the old Re- public will be more acceptable than the faith of better reformers in the future Union. His sorrow for the are weak enough to accept without examining, we have a desire to sco what reason exists for this longing for *‘the good old times.” He called upon the delegates * to bring back the Re- public, purified and strengthened by the fiery ordeal through which it has passed, to its ancient prosperity and power; to present to the world an example worthy of imitation—no Utopian vision of good gov- ernment, but the grand old reality of the better times, bringing up the memory of our fathers and the recollections of the past, with the past and the future inseparably entwined—one couutry, one flag, one Union of equal States.” Which we call very good indeed. 1t is the privilege of men who, like Gen. Dix, have outlived their political usefulness, to babble of the beanties of the past and to expatiates patheti- cally upon the virtues of the forefathers, God forbid that we should detract one jot or tittle from the historical glory of our coun- try. Bat Gen. Dix knows as well as we do that, from the very commence. . of our national exist- ence, there was anything vut accord on the question of Slavery, and that subsequently it was constantly interfering with the peace and prosperity of the land. The trouble was as rife in the Convention of 1737, of which Gen. Dix speaks so tenderly, as at any subse- quent period. The battle has been waged ever since, sometimes more and sometimes less fiercely, some- times almost subsiding into a peace, and then raging with renewod fisrconess, but never, in spite of com- promises, of truces and of subterfuges, has the contest Dbeen concluded. Gen. Dix knows this, for he has some- times been in the thickest of the fray. Toignore the fact that Slavery made trouble between the States in 1776, again in 1787, again when Missouri was admitted, constantly whenever a revenue policy was to be ad- Justed or new territory received, is to close our eyes to nine-tenths of the history of the country, and to disregard its most necessary and important lessons, Gen. Dix almost swoons with rapture in contemplat- ing “the grand old reality of better timos," but all well-informed porsons kuow that all through the golden era of the General's imagination there ‘wore dissensions and jealousios, and vital disagreements, which findlly culminated in the Great Rebellion. The simple truth is, that the nation is better off than mfipol.‘li"l].

There is very little analogy between the stances of the country just after the Revolution a."d our condition at the present time. But suppose, for the sake of illustration, that Connecticut or Massa- chusetts had remained loyal to George the Third, and immediately after the recognition of our inde- peudence had sent delegates to assist in framing & Constitution. We fancy that they might bave knocked some time before gaining admission; and our fathers, sages and philosophers as they were, would hardly have kept their tempers if theso same delegates had assumod to dictate the terms upon which they were to be accorded entrance. Tt would have been found, we suspect, that the dictation, if any, was to come froth the other side. If men or States put themselves into a dubious politieal posi- tion, they must submit to be distrusted until they havo given plenary evidence of repentance, and suffi- cient surety of good conduct for the future. If the late Rebel States persist in keeping all political power in the hands of those who are notoriously hostile to the Constitution and the Union, they are no more en- titled to representation now than they were when their swords wero drawn, their Confederato banners flaunting, and their Rebel ranks in battle array. Admissions of the illegality and wickedness of the Robellion on the part of the Rebels are not 8o numer- ous as to be tiresome by any manner of means. To sneak into Congress with patriot blood still dripping from thoir skirts, with the old slaveholding oligarchy still rotaining its pristine power,and still disfranchising nine-tenths of the population, with the leaders of tho Rebellion still eligible to offices of authority and trust —this seems to be the chief ambition of traitors re- tired from active business—theso are tho immunitics which they do not so much ask for as demand, with Gen. Dix for backer! And should they carry their point, become once more & power in the Genersl Government, dominate onco more in the Benate and the House, and make Congress tho supple instrument of a scheming and unstable President, then, we suppose, Gen. Dix will elovato his voice, and proclaim to all the four points of the compass that the Ropublic is * purified and strengthened "—that “the grand old reality of better times™ is restored—that we have at last “one country, ono flag, one Union of Equal States " . A country just escaped from mortal peril, and still with much bard, practical work before it, if it would live aud prospor, will not suffer itself to bo misled by the most charming exertions of rhetoricians. The peo- ple understand these matters as well now s they did during the last Presidential clection, and the issues aro much the same. The President wants a House of Representatives to do kis work; the people want one to do their work, and for the present, at least, it will bo as the peoplo will. e FENIANISTT AND THE BRITISH GOV- ERNMENT. There has boen a lengthy debate in the British Par- liament on the state of Ireland in connection with the Fenian movement and the Govornment proposal to continuo the suspension of the tiabeas Corpus in that country. Parliamentary reform, it has been said, is the rock upon which every English Miuistry, no matter what the complexion of its polities, is sure to split. 8o Ireland is the great difficulty of every Administration. It is, in fact, a heritage of trouble, regularly banded over to every Government with the seals of office. The transference has just been made to the Tories, at whose hands the burden of Irish grievances is not by any means likely to be lessened. Whatever the term of office of the Derby administra- tion, their successors are certain to receive, along with other responsibilitios, this ** white elephant.” In the dchate in question it was admitted by those who spoke for the Government that lreland ig at present remarkably tranquil. But it was asked, never- theless, that the suspension of the habeas corpus should be continued, on the ground that elements of danger were still lurking in the body politic, in the shape of latent Fenianism, Here we have a palpable contradic- tion, Sedition, wo are assured, has been crushed, and British statesmen felicitate themselves on the achievoment; yet the Government asks for a continu- ance of those extraordinary powers with which the suspension of the habeas corpus clothes the authori- ties. The truth is, that the men who speak of tran- quility do not really believe in its existence in Ire- land. They know, on the contrary, that disaffection to British rule is & deep-seated and wide-spread feeling in that unhappy country; and their conseiences must tell them that there is good cause for the fecling. The neeessity for the frequent suspension of the | Habeas Corpus in Ireland is a scandal to England. No fewer than nine times has this extrome measure been resorted to since the . Union; but the troubles of Ire- land are as far from & settlement to-day as they were sixty years ago. The mischiof is, that the rulers of that ill-fated country concern themselves more about the means of compelling a false peace by stringent measures than of insuring a real and permanent tran- quillity by meeting the just demands of the Irish peo- ple. The land questionis o permanent source of cruel sufferings to the Irish; yet no attempt is made to apply a remedy, The Irish Church Establishment is amonstrous grievance to the Catbolics of Ireland; yet English legislation systematically and persistently ignores the complaints of the aggrieved. That legis- lation has never, gone further in the way of re- dressing the crying wrongs of Ireland than to offer petty measures of relief. It has all along lacked bold- ness and comprehensiveness; and it has been want- ing in these, simply because it has been oblivious of the claims of justice in the case of the Irish. As long as this state of things lasts, so long must Ireland con- tinue to give trouble to England. Feniavism is but an accidental development of the feeling to which we have alluded, and which has now become chronic, That feeling springs from a sense of injustice; and not till the Irish people obtain their rights can it be expected to pass away. It is vain for English states- men to imagine that Femanism will die out, from the discouragements which it has to meet with, But even shonld the present organization, known by that name, collapse, something else of the same character will be certain to rise in its place. The remedy for Ireland’s ills— the short, sure way of giving her lasting peace and prosperity—is for England to do justice to her chil- dren. The hope, however, that this effectual method of conciliation will be adopted scems, at present, to be rather distant. And why should the British Gov- ernment trouble itself with the task of reconstructing Ireland, when so potent a means of silencing the voice of an outraged people protesting against the wrongs heaped upon them, is available, as the suspen- sion of the Habeas Corpus? ‘hing, and chaoum- Thanks to an unserupulous aud semi-savage policy in mismanaging the Indians, the old troubles in the far West have again become chrouic, The few troops of the United States have been again worsted, and military trains and livo stock uncounted run off into the mountains, The Indian trouble can be cured, like the Southarn one; but auything short of justice and the entire reform of the old barbarian régime in Wo had | bettor ecivibiza some of our agents beforo attempt- ing to cheat tho savage into any false state of amica- bility Tho regular session of the Cauadiaun Parliament We bave rid our- | tulations to the Legislative Chambers on the amoun( ——ep e = .

The Presiden* and the Secretary of State propose ta visit Chicago ere long for the purpose of doing houos to the memory of Séephen A. Douglas. Mr. Jobnson, when the late Mr. Douglas was his cotemporary, Dbelieved in the Breckinridge doctrine, and Mr. Soward, at the same time, was a radical opponent of popular or squatter sovereignty. Now, it is coming to pass that both these gentleman are going to lay a very variegated tribute-wreath on the tomb of their old enemy. Mr. Johnson will throw down bis Breckin- ridge theories a3 modified by his war record during the Rebellion, and as subsequently resurrected and reconstructed into **State Rights.” Mr. Sewasrd, baving turned his radicalism inside out, will tumble it ground-and-lofiily on the base of the Douglas monument. There are intimato friends of ‘“the Little Gisut” to whom such o performance will be anything but pleasant— Gen. Jno. A. Logan, for instance, who wishes it un- derstood that he considers the President no better than a political Judas, *“betraying the eountry im the arms of treason.” Logan celobrates his hero by indorsing the Congressional ultimatum and the Con- stitutional Amendment, and will, therefore, be mo partakor in the Tylerizing festival over the grave of his friend. The President and the Secretary will make a long tour, and stop frequently on the way to make speeches. If the President’s programme is faithfully oarried out, we shall hear a great deal about Jolmson,’ and very little about Douglas. But the more the Prosident speaks the better for his opponents, the worse for himself, Everybody knows that his specok does not drop pearls, and when he opens his mouthy his advisers must have a care'where he puts the Exee- utive foot. From the unfortunate display on the day of the Inauguration to his 22d of February speech,’ andtho unmannerly bullying of Queen Emma, the Prosident has won no reputation for wisdom at home or abroad. Let him speak. “ Here is a Convention which has neither dinner nor 1 A Convention filled with gifted orators, and not @ singlo speech ¢ A Convention with more brains than Congress.. effort at buncomve!

" [ The Times, from which we quote, exults over thig gagging of the Covention, but nothing can be plainee than that all debate upon the great questions submit- ted to it was suppressed in the dread of a triangulaz row. For this reason Fernando Wood and Vallane digham and Henry Clay Dean withdrew. It is a faol that the Randall Convention was not allowed to de liberate. Its adjournment was hurried in the feat that somebody might break the silence. The resolus tions and address were prepared by a few men in @ committee room, and were scarcely submitted to the delegates.. Thus six hundred or seven hundred men, gathered from all parts of the country merely to get their instractions and, without' being allowed to utter a word, were sent home again. We really do not see why the Convention met. Itd business might as easily have been transacted through the Post-Office. Messrs. Randall, Cowan, Blair, Doolittle, ete., could bave written a few letters and the President could have franked them. A Conven« tion that dares not deliberate is not worth the trouble of convening, and 80 its members appear to have thought, for they no sooner met than they adjourned.!
