The attack on the Union Convention was not a mere riot—it was a preconcerted plan, and | has since heen faithfully followed up. —_— We have a dispatch from New-Orleans which silences the slanders of the United States colored troops in that city. It has been the policy of the rioters to represent the freedmen as the malignant cause of all trouble, and to this effect the most shame- ful falsehoods have circulated. All have bech equally unfounded. We call attention to the Union ticket in the 1Xth Assembly District, which every good Unionist in the Ninth and Sixteenth Wards should support at the clec- tion this cvening. There will be an attempt made to get the party management of the districtinto the control of men who call themselves Republicans, yet do the work of Copperheads. The election of the regular Union ticket, headed by Dr. 8. R. Kirhy, must defeat this scheme. No Union man shonld neglect to vote, The facility with which The Times abandons its opiuions is, if. possible, surpassed. by the audacity with which it attributes to its opponents those same opinions, when they have proved untenable, Of its generosity in bestowing on others the offspring it cowardly disavows, the following is a tolerable specimen: | to-day only because Four Millions of hearty Unionists | Rebels. The sole, sufficient security agaiust future that first presented to the coun rival Houses of Congress, and intimated, with an appearance of authority, which of those Houses the President would be likely to recognize?

Who was it that charged Tie TRIgUNE with levity, when we characterized theze memorable warnings as they deserved’ Is it possible that the sensational letter of Mr. Raymond is so soon forgotten? and does he mow resign bis clams as a good Copperhead prophet? OVERNED. THE CO. NT OF THE G The Evening Post says: ** Buppose, ote_sbould now be taken fn Virginia, or rth Caroling, and a majority o ession. THE TRIBUNE would let one State But the people of the United States ao ch nonaense, They say, when the Union is destroyed, be by the action of the whole people—of tue nation, iy State, or faction, or part.” —We know it is no use to refuto The Post's mis- statements; but the above is not true. We do not hold, and never did, that one State bas a nght to break up the Union, ndr that she should be allowed to doso. We hold the precise doctrine of our Revo- lutionary fathers—neither less nor more. Time after time, we have remarked that a State has no right to break up the Union any more than a County bas to break up the State. If the people of Staten Island (for example) should fancy that they could all get rich by breaking off from the State and Union, im- porting goods free of duty, and smuggling them into the adjacent districts, we do not believe that they would bave either a moral or legal right to do so; and we hold that they might properly be compelled to remain in the State and Union. And if Massachu- setts alone had undertaken in 1775 to dissolve her connection with Great Britain (as South Carolina in 1360 undertook to dissolve the Union) we hold that she would not have been justified. We mean to stand on precisely the same ground with Franklin, Adams and Jefferson—neither less nor more. We think that is not The Post's ground. That journal says: ! Tho people of the United States do ot believe in any such nonscnse. They say, when the Union is desiroged, it must be by the action of the whole people—of the Nation, mot of any State, or faction, or part.” —Was the Declaration of American™ Independence the act of **the whole people—of the [ British ] Nation 1 Cleariy not. A large majority ** of the whole people —of the Nation"—were doubtless opposed to it. And yot, our fathers believed they had a right to independ- ence, and we believe it. Sappose that Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, formad to-day oue nation, as they did under the Ciesars, and again under Charlemagne—anation far smaller in area than the United States of to-day—and | that, after a century's experience, Spain and Portugal should unanimously concluda that they could do better under a distinet, independent rule, would they have a natural, moral right to a government ot their own?’ Our fathers, in the Declaration of Independence, afirmed such right, or we do not understand them: What says The Post? Must they await the consent of a majority of the people of the whole empire? Wesley, incommending lively, spirited church music, | insisted that it was neither wise nor right to **Jet the devil have all the best tunes.” We cherish a similar conviction with regard to the right of a people to self- | government, tersely expressed by our fathers in the sentence *‘governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.”” We bold that the Jate Rebels have no right to take shelter under this | doctrine, and that we cannot afford to let them. They rebelled, not in obedience to but in defiance of this axiom—not in behalf of but in conspiracy againgt the inalienable Rights of Man. If any fact can be estab- | lished by circumstantial evidenc n it is o fact that a majority of the People of the South did not de- sire nor design to break up the Union—that Secession trinmphed at the South only through conspiracy, terror- ism and violence overawing and overboaring the pop- wlar will. Aud the spirit of Rebellion is rampant there should declare for bagak wp the Unio _not believe in an lie gagged and bound at the feet of the trinmphant secessions and rebellions is to be found, not in any array of bayonets, but in the arming of r\'Pr_\'é loyal man with the Ballot. —_— “ DISUNION™ Gen. Wager Swayne, who runs the Freedman's Bureau in Alabama, lately saw fit to report that “The attention of parties has been drawn 1o the systematic Qissemiuation of items at the North, apparentiy by one person, detailing oll sorts of sensational occurrenoes to persous of both Taces. The scone is gonerally laid i Mobile, and the story is uniformly without foundation." —This strikes usas an exceedingly loose, vague, untrustworthy accusation. Why should not Gen. Swayne have instanced at least one of these ** items,” and exposed its untruth ! We cannot recollect one recent * sensational occurrence " whereof the scene was *“ laid in Mobile,” except the unanimous choice of the deserter from our Navy and Rebel corsair Raphael Semmes—the wauton destroyer of ever so many mil- lions' worth of harmless American merchant ships and cargoes—to a very important and desirable civil position in Mobile. Very * sensational” this “‘item” surely was, and caleulated to affect Northern loyal sentiment most adversely to the assurances given by Southernersin the Philadelphia arm-in-arm Convention; but was it not true? Was the published order of President John- son, forbidding Semmes’s induction into this office, a forgery 1 If s0, why has it been allowed to circulate for months as authentic? Why has it been printed as genuine in the Washington and other Johnson organs? Will Gen. Swayne elucidate? —The N. Y. Times quotes his assertion above given, and says: « Now that is a statement surely of & very grave mature. e knovw here that it is in no manner czaggerated ; We know that the most horrifying reports from Alabama and Mississippi are published every day in extreme papers here, and that they are published as proper campaign documents, with the view of ex asperating the public mind, and supplying capital for disunion agents.’ Indeed ! ‘We believe that no ** campaign document” has yet appeared treating of **sensational occurrences" in the Gulf States but that issued from this office, which treats of ** The New-Orleaus Riots,” so called, of July 30th, and purport to present their true bistory, made up in good part of the official dispatches, orders, &c., of President Johnson, Gen. Grant, Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Baird, Gov. Wells, Judge Howell (Pres- ident of the Convention), Atty.-Gen. Heron, Yudge Abel, Mayor Monroe, &c., &c. We have surely tried to make it full, fair, impartial present- ment of the material facts in the case, not based on official documents, but made up in good part of the documents given eerbatim. Very *‘eensational” they certainly #eem to be; but are they mot authentic? Will The Times scrutinize this ** campaign document” and point out its defects, if defects there be? If it is not fair and just, we will endeavor to make it so. We do not think it ex- posed to the reproach of “*supplying capital for disunion agents;” and yet, if nothing shall be prompt- ly done to bring Monroe and his Thugs to justice, it seems to us very likely to aid in “‘exasperating the public mind” of the loyal States, Will The Times, therefore,be good enough to point out its inaccuracies, if such there be, and say whether its sweeping charge applies to this or any other “‘campaign document” is- | sued from this office 7 Though Tre TRIBUNE is by no CALUMNIES. ! i G means an ‘‘extreme paper,” there are some readers of The Times who so regard it, and will understand The Times's charge as referring to us. Please specify, and gpeak out! “1f the Radical nals insist u) country with #lm’:l:.-flc.rdvn‘v.:u':w coutivj v them manly and honest really lea." LA — Now, we bog leave to refreshthe memory of The Times by o question or two. Who was it that first raised the alarm of another civil war? Who was it The World engages itself by turmns in ghouling the murdered Unionists of New-Orleans and in defamiog Gov. Fenton for the sake of praising Mr. “Hoffman. But it will strive in vain to blot out the publio record that the vrincioal mon of its party in the City whereof is Mayor—among them William M. Tweed and Elijah F. Purdy—did * sincerely congratu- late " the State on having so ** vigilant and fearless™ an executive as Gov. Fenton. THE SOUTH FOR THE AMENDMENT. - The Monigomery Daily Mail makes two good points in an otherwise rather doleful article. It says tbat “ the Constitutional Amendment proposes to prevent those gentleman from bolding office who, after taking the oath to support the constitution of the United States, took the oath to support the Confederate States.” This is one of the mildest modes of express- ing the intention of the constitutional loyalists to dis- franchise those perjured men that we bave ever met; but we will suffer the gentle cuphemism to pass un- questioned, in order to quote the judicious comment of The Mail thereupon: ** This point,” it says, s not a vital one with the South, Many true Southerners might be found qualified for office who, before the war, had o occasion to take the oath to support the United Btates Constitution This declaration has been made again and sgain in behalf of Four Millions of Southern loyalists who are ready to yield to the will of the majority. Now that an ex-Rebel sanctions it, why need Nortbern men offer further opposition to this proviso of the Constitutional Amendment ? The Mail is equally sonsible in its comment on the article which bases Congressional representation on the actual number of voters in a State. * But, says, as if to silence all querulous critics by o singlo Dreath, ‘ at present, the South has no represontation atall.” Then why not a}lnpt at once the Constitu- tional Amendment? Thé South bas her fate in her own hands. _ THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana and lowa hold their State elections October 9. Pennsylvania will choose a Governor besile 24 Congressmen, & U. 8. Senator in place of Edgar Cowan, part of her Senate and an Assembly. Obio bas to elect 19 Congressmen Indi- ana 11, with Legislators and a U, 8. Senator in place of Henry 8. Lane,who declines a second term. Iow will choose six Members of Congress, with a Legisla ture and certain State officers. At ber last year's election, Pennaylvania chose a State Auditor; Gen. Hartranft, the Union candidate, received 238,400 votes, and Col. W. H. Davis, Demo- crat, 215,740, making 450,140 votes in all, and a Union wajority of 22,660. The whole vote waslight, compared with the last election for Governor in 1363, Curtin then receiving 269,496 votes to Woodward's 254,171, a Union majority of 15,325 in a total vote of 523,667. In 1864, the vote for President stood—Lin- coln, 206,330; McClellan, 276,308, or a total of 572,647, th & majority for Lincoln of 20,031, Thus in three years and three election, the Union® mwajority in Pennsylvania has never fallen short of 15,000 votes. We trust it will be greator this year. We print below a complete list of the nominations for Cengress in the State,side by side with the vote of each district at the election of 1364, The names of the present Representatives renomi- nated are italicized. s Vote. 1804 974 Demacratic 4 Randali ). b N.

As Ohio renominates all its present del cept four, their reélection will be a most significant indorsement of Congres In two Districts the Democrats have considerable majorities, namely: the Vith (Mungen's), 2,091, and the XIIth (Van Tramp's), 1,616. In but two Republican Districts do the majorities appear weak, namely: the XIIIth, repre- sented by Columbus Delano, and the Xth, by Jas. M. Ashley, against whom the President's favorite, Gen. Steedman, has been a persistent worker. But, since the President’s trip West, there is added reason for beliey- ing that the Union men will fully hold their own. Tn | 1864, the whole vote of Ohio was 470,722, President Lincoln receiving a total majority on Home and Soldiers’ vote of 59,5%. The total vote last year for Governor was 417,720, with a majority of 20,936 for Gen, Cox. INDIANA voted in 1864 for Governor and President. Out of & total vote of 3,2%5, Gov. Morton had 20,53 majority over McDonald, Lincolu's majority was 20,180 out of the entire vote of 250,665, At the latest election—that for County officers, held in the Fall of last year—there were Union gains in all but two counties, the most remarkable occurring in Allen County, which, in 1561, gave 2,359 majority for the Democratic ticket, and in 1565 about 400 for the Union. As & Senator must be elected to succeed the Hon. Henry 8. Lane, it is well to bear in mind that the Legislatare of 1265 had a Union majority of 10 on | joint ballot.

Why utter falsehoods which every one who reads or re- flects must know to be such? _— THE UNION CANVASS IN NORTH CARO- LINA. Mr. Holden's Address to the people of North Caro- lina carefully avoids making any direct issue with the President, and indeed assumes that the Constitutional Amendment carries out his principles. It quotes from Liis speeches of & year ago to show that he not only favors the plan of the amendment, but is in favor of impartial suffrage. This reference is not very com- plimentary to Mr. Johnson's consistency, and nothing could be more severe than the coolness with which is ignored the change in the President's polities. Goy. Holden argues with great earnestness the value of the Congressional plan, aud says very truly: “There is not a principle in any section of the pro- posed amendment which bas not received, in some form or other, the approval of the President. If, therefore, our people agree with the President, and if they are disposed to carry out in good faith what they bave already conceded (to say nothing of the respect which they owe to the law-making department of the Government), I can see no good reason why they should not settle this business finally and forever by placing these guarantees in the national fundamental law. There was no time within sixty days after the surrender of Lee's forces when they would not bave accepted such terms gladly.” Of the condition of the State the address speaks plainly. Before the Rebellion the estimated value of | the property of North Carolina was four hundred mil- lions in specie; now it would not reach one hundred millions, Thedebt is eighteen millious, and there are no means to pay it. He points out that, by the re- Jection of the new §tate Coustitution submitted at'th late election, the ordinauces repudiating secession aud the Rebel debt, acknowledging the abolition of Slavery, and allowing colored persons to testify in the courts, have but temporary value. They may be abrogated by any fature Convention—a fact which shows how important it is that the Union should have full security from the Rebel States. Business and | politics are thus alike unsettled, and every day adds to the poverty and embarrass- ment of the State. Gov. Holden de- clares that *‘there is no hope but in the prompt res- toration of the Union; and this can be effected in no other way in my judgment, than by accepting the proposed Constitutional Amendment. We are admon- ished by the recent elections that the North will be satisfied with nothing less, It may require more, and I have no doubt it will, if we reject this amendment.” With this warning be gives the people equally well- founded encouragement: **The great body of the people of the North are our friends. They wish us well. They do not desire to humble or degrade us. They do not want our lands or our houses, They are not seeking our blood. They are tived of war. They rd his younger brother who has been worely chastised for his first of- fense, T desire our prosperity, because it is in- separably connected with their own. They do not want to hold us as snhjvrt}vmrinou. but they wish to live with us as equals du’the Unfon. That Union stretehes out its mighty arms to embrace ns. Forone, I am anxious to return to it.” This address should have a decided effect upon the Union men of North Carclina, and even the discon- tented Rebels must be influenced by its argnment. The Union candidate for Governor, Alfred Dockery, will go before the people as the champion of the Con- stitutional Amendment, and whether he is defeated or | elected, the'canvass, if energetically conducted, can- | not fuil to have a good effect in all the Southern | States. The Congressional plan is now fairly before the people in an open canvass, and North Carolina, | one of the Jast States to follow South Carolina in leav- | | ing the Union, may be the first to follow Tennessee in returning. | I COLORADO.

C. W. Ferris was U Provost-Marshal at Warsaw, , during the War, and, while acting in that | ity, was instrumental in procuring the execu- { two Rebel guerrillas, under the order of Gen. Burnside. For this, he bas been indicted by the Grand Jury of that (Carroll) County, and was there- | upon, on Friday last, taken off the mail steamboat Gen. Buell, as she touched at Warsaw, and put in prison to be tried for murder. How many Federal oficers are to be subjected to like treatment in pro-Rebel districts of the South, we cannot say; but we insist that the small-fry should be taken last. If the pro-Rebel Democracy, now ascendant and jubilant in Kentucky, are going into this line of business, they should indict and try Gen. Burnside, not his instroments Burnside never even attempted to please their zort of people in his prosecu- tion of the War.

Ristori's second performanés of Modea was greally superior to her first, “and the audience, which was by uo means so large as it should have heen, showed in overy possidle way its appreciation of her noble, passionate and natural acti She was called beforo the curtain at the close of the first and second acts, and, at the end of the third and last, the whole Louse rose in a furore of enthusi- asm which needed only such an audience as would have heen assembled in the Academy to spread into a genuine triumph. But it is in vaiu to look for any such result in a mere band-box of a house like the French Theater. To feel the mugnetism of a nature like Ristori’s needs & large and crowded house, and it is o serious wisfortu that we bave not such a one to offer her. Even when the French Theater is full, the audience looks slender, and the stage is so small that all the action of the play is hindered, and seenic effect is rendered impossible. This is painfully illustrated when Medea makes her first appearauce, de- scending the hill with her children in her arms. What with the heap of rocks at the side and at the back of the stage, and the statue of Diana at the left, there remaing so little room that it seems as if the actors must be under & continual restraint lest they should kuock their elbows against the multitudizous projections. Of course Medoa's eutrance is deprived of all dignity of effect. At finst, - nothing is secn of her but her head and shoulders, and sho remains a long time standing on the rocks which provents her figure from making its majestic impression at onee. What wBT1d be the effeet if Modea should enter at the back of the stage and advance to the footlights, instead of making this apparently unnecessary descent from the hill, was shown by the ‘burst of applause that followed when, releasing the children from her arms, she led them one in oach hand mpidly down the bill, with Ler large and stateyl gait, and gave the audience its first fair glimpse of her from head to foot. Once fairly seen, we wonder that & comparison should ever have been suggested between Ristori and Rachel. Theré is 1o likeness between them. Ristori is a Roman, Rachel was a pure Greek, Riston is « Niobe," **Clytie,” ‘“the Ariadne,” Rachel wasa virgin of the Panathenaic Frieze, Ristori is a grand, large hearted, passionate, beautiful being. Rachel was intellectual and cold, with passions slowly roused but creeping with intense earnestness to their aim. The pnre still beauty of the Jewess, Ler lithe grace, her uneconscious attitudes that filled the mewmory with statues, her voice that rang all the changes of passion, hatred, seorn, fury, contempt, despair, but 20 seldom trembled to the breath of love; Ler eye that froze or fuscinated or made the heart grow smail with fear, that could burn like a burning coal with bate, but never melted to a tender ray; ber frame, so frail so shadow- like, that would have moved our pity if the soul that lived and burned in every fiber of it had not seemed so mighty to hold its throne; what had this woman in common with Ristori? and yet Ristori’s greatness is no way touched by the unlikeness. There 15 one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon, aund we are glad that thess two women of genius are so different that while we are in the presence of the one we are not forced to contrast nor to compare her with the other. And if originality be & proof of genins, then it is vot possible to deny that Ris- tori has genins. She recalls no artist that living eyes bave bebeld, Least of all is she to be compared with Rachel, 20 long misnamed her rival. She ean do much that Rachey never did, much that Raehel never would have attempted; and, for our own part, we frankly confess that when tho tumult of emotion in which we left the theater had, in a measure, passed away, there had passed with it a mist of prejudices and misconceptions that had vailed this woman from our fair judgment; but, thanks to her genius, it passed, and henecforth her mujestic figure stands iu the memory a separate splendor, an individual glory. The play, *Medea,” is one we should judge peeuliarly suited to the power of Ristori. The story can hardly he | true that Rachel rejected it on account of the horrible nature of the plot, for she was never greater than in Phédra, the story of which is indeed horrible—alwost as | horrible as that of Shelly's Cenci,” which the manager of the theater refused even to offer to Miss O'Neill. The truth is that Rachel never conld have done justice to the part of Medea, abd she had, no doubt, penetration enowgh to perceive it. A devouring passion consumes the whole being of this barbarian enchantress, it has made her wade deep in crime; it has made her desert Ler coun- try, her parents, her home; it has made her the wurderer of her brother who stood between her and her desire, and now it leads her'over seas and deserts, through wastes and wildernesses, braving hunger and eold, fatigue and pain, that she may leap to her revenge. If this were all. Rachel mwight have added this new leaf to the lanrel crown that overtopped her brows. But the play is so mueh more thap this, that through all her crimes, her fierceness, her implacable thirst forrevenge, we hearthe loud beatings of her mighty heart which goes erying through the world forlove, for the love of husband, and children, and bome. With what inefluble tenderness she sobs, and sighs, and trembles to Creusa the story of her flight from home. Whoever heard such tears in Rachel's voice ! But Ristori's magnificent | organ, now flnte, now barp, row clanging trempet, can melt to the lowest sob, or rouse the tiger in the blood. In this specels her voice sinks lower and lower, grows ten. derer and tenderer, 1t dies, and swells, aud shatters in a mist of tears, until our eyes are wet and our hearts flow out to her with Creusa’s. Once Rachel came near this in the last act of “Adrienne Lecouvrer;” but even there stwas more our hearts than hers thatThiled. . Ristori is not to be jndged by ler photographs, exeel- lent likenesses s they are, no doubt, of her face in its ordinary moods. She has a noble figure, east in a large, Romaxn mold, her full fuce fiver than her profile, more grand and statue-li Her walk is free and swinging; aud ber arms which are lage and stiongly modeled are flung about with a passionate play that is strikingly un- conventional. There is much in her acting that resembles Chaddotte Cushman whose gestures were often dis- tinguished by 8 noble freedom from the couventionso the stage. But Ristori has & nvative eleganee in Ler grandenr to which Cushman never attained. The pure nmaturalness of her gestures often | cvrries our assent captive when their strangeness has at tigst blush made us doubt, When she is pleading with son for ber children is trying to win them to her side, she half knueels, stretches ber body imploringly, toward them, and with a plaintive, cooing, ten- der note them to come. Creusa holds them and they do not move; then-Medea speaks more strongly, and, stretching out her large white arms at full length, she drops the hands downward, loose from the wrist, and as " strikes them strongly Vit she enes * Come! come! come toward ber. Very beautiful, and full of materual love is her act- ing with the childn Clildren on the stage are usually dull, inanimate dolls, were bits of machinery; but the children hege add greatly to the intercst of the scene. Lit- tle N. W., pameless bambino that he is, can only run or nestle at bis motlier's knees, and look at us with | bis Italian eyes; but the small Lycaon speaks bis brave or plaintive specches like a stout Cclchian of seven years or thereabouts. and helps the piay o8 much as bis elders. He grasps Meden's knees and clings to Ler neck and bosom as it she were really his mother, and the mother's heart in her goes freely out to the Jittle manikins as if they were ber own. We Liave spoken of Ristori’s persenal appearance, Her dress, designed, we bave heard, by Ary Scheffer, is of & dark but gl wing erimson wool, with a black border of primitive Greek design, and sprinkled over with small black spots in o pattern. In the fisst act she wears with this a.wmantle of light blue, and ber heaped-up ebony hair, arranged i great masses of short eurls ou either side her bead and face, is bound about with & erimson fillet that, passing under these curls, is fastened with long ends at the back of the bead. The dress is ot meant to be in the pure Greek taste for Medes is a barbarian from far-away Colehis, and the dress is native to ber ryde coun- try. But we doubt if Ristori could wear the Greek dress as Rachel wore it, she would slwars seem wore like a sumptuous Roman, or splendid Barbarian, and sho eould hardly tutor lersclf to move with the slow pace that be- longed to the younger tragic muse. Her grace, her beauty, her air, ure her own. Proudly she wears her own imperial crown. Long may its shining leof. its ruddy berry adorn her liviug brows. - Welcome, welcome, great Ttalian® ‘Welcome, Ristori The Soldiers’ and Sailors' Convention at Pittsburgh will be unusually large.
