The need of this hour is for us to atretuh out our hands to Democratic brethren, who, -in ,steadily, increasing numbers,'are fighting tho battles of the' Constitution- im all the States of thia Union.

Nor do we, for a moment, entertain the suggestion that the late Convention was disposed to indicate any specific line of political action to the people of the State. Whatever of political opinion it express? ed was general in its obaraoter. As to the oourse proper to bo pursued in the next political canvass in the State, we agree with the correspondent of the In? telligencer. Briefly stated: "Wo bold it to b?

Suok is.not my understand? ing of Northern opinion. In the early h i a, to ry ?of the Statu doubtless .a number, bf'men. were attracted hither who oould bo.very well spared.at borne, and were not particularly welcome bore or else? where. Soon af ter tho close of the wurcom? plaints wero mado and .believed that the colored pooplo Bonn times suffered from their lato masters' violence, but we have heard nothing of thia'for two or three years. I believe at thia day not BO much viol?nos occurs in Texas as in Now York city; certainly there is.not nearly so much said about it. With about, an equal population in Texas ue ia the city of New York, , there are more desperadoes in tbjat city than io Texas, and it is hard? er work. to manage them. The North doss not think Texas the land of tho Bowie knife aud pistol. . The proof that Texas is in good repute ia shown by the steady increase of popu? lation from other States. . In ? this, per? haps, Texas, is a Bingle exception, with? out il may be Oregon. Texas alone is rapidly gaining ground. Other States may increase, because losses are replaced by larger gains, but Texas does not lose any; one reason for which is that the rNorthem press is just to Texas, and I intend to bo just to ber. All the lotters I aholl write from here, aud all I shall write about here after I leave, will.'show that such will berny representations; for I can testify that .property abd life are safe and protected in Texaa. " While the Southern people complain that the North does not under? stand and misrepresents them, it may also be a?id that they in turn do not un? derstand the Northern people. Thia is all wrong and unfortunate. They should, if possible, be allied, and I hope and be? lieve they wi lb " Here Mr. Greeley dwelt at considera? ble length upon the, war. ^ tho eau des oi thu Wtir and sHvery, and alluded to the assassination of Pr?sidant Lincoln aa follows: When tho pr oolam ation was issued by President. Johnaon oharging Jefferson Davis . and other . Southern leaders with complicity;?also that the Southern people had countenanced the assassination, I rejoice to. know that the call for revenge was overruled by the forbearance of the . North. Any deaths caused by legal procesa for treason after? wards would have oarried groat bitter? ness. I therefore rejoice that I belong to a people wiae enough, to recollect this. It waa widely circulated that I wat condemned by tho Union League fbr be? coming sepunty for Jeff. Davis. Those who condemned me were beater three to one. While those, thousand! donen nee J, tho belber souse of the NortL justified me.. I did this ont Of no pat ti? en Sar regard.for Jefferson Davis; not foi any political friendship, for wo were al? way* opposed to eaob 'other. The aol was aa effort on my part to reach tb? boort of tba Southern people, who fell that their cause was involved with Jeff Davis? Therefore I did that for th? Southern people, not Jeff. Davis, tboogl tbeV were equally gnilty with him. The general sentiment of the pooplc of the North is to let bygones be by gonos. I havo not an idea that proBorip ticm will be maintained, nor would i bave been so far, if it had not been fo; certain vitiating aotious ou the part o Southern people. It will, however, b< very Boon Utterly abolished, sod it is fo; this reason I bave opposed partial am ncsty. A general am noa ty should pas H and then let us all be as we were befon the war.

For instance,'lip wanted a new United S?ites Marshal appointed-one who would see that the laws were obeyed, and who would arrest all offenders. The Governor said bo did uot wish martial law, but hu thought the prenouoo of a few troops might bu weil to aid tue Mar? shal in arresting illicit whiskey mun and other offoudors ugaiust the Federal laws. The Governor told tho -President that everybody in South Carolina laughed at bis proclamation, for tho simple reason that it waa based on a state bf affairs that did not. exist. There wau no insurrec? tion in that State, nor was. there any? thing like an organized movement to create a broach of the peace. Tbe' President listened to nil these things with a look of the most stolid in? difference. Wb?n the Governor had finished speaking be asked him what he wanted him (the President) to do. With a look of aUrpnse, Scott said: "Why, your Excellency! I have just beeu telling you. ' I Waut you to maka a new act of appointments in South Caro? lina. I waut mon who are capable of enforcing tho civil law, nod who havo nerve enough to arrest offenders against tbe same." "Humph!" remarked bis Excellency, "I hardly know what to do. . Have you seen these?*' Aud tho President drew from bis drawer a oopy of resolutions passed by tho Republican Stato Centrul Committco, endorsing President-Grunt's administration, and.declaring in favor of his re-nomination. The President read them over with a slow, drawling acceut, while Scott, who know just what they were and what it all meant, squirmed in his seat like nn im? patient school boy. Whon he bad got through the President said: "Now, what did you say you wauled mo to do?" Utterly disgusted with tho trifliug nature of this question, Scott repeated his views. "Humphl" Baid tho President. "How do your people feel down there in regard to the next Presidency?" I "Well, sir," said Scott, "to tell you tho truth, we haven't thought much about it. We have bad a bard time of it to keep the party from going to pieces. You Bee, tho party in South Carolina is so filled up with thieves that wo have to keep our eyes open, or tho whole State would bo carried off." ' The President smiled nt this und asked if tbe thieves were not ull driven out yet. After some further conversation ' the Governor withdrew. Coming down Pennsylvania avenue, Scott mot a friend who know of tho errand he bad betn ou. Said the latter: "Wall, Governor, how did you make out?" j "Why," answered Scott, "I didn't make out anything. Do you kuow that : I begin to tbiuk that tho reports I have heard about that man's capacity are all j true?, Why, ? talked for au hour trying Ito make him seo a certain point, nod I I'll be hanged if I could beat it into his head to ?ave me. Tho truth is, the poor fool don't think of anything but re j nomination. That's tho burdon of Iiis thoughts by i}ixy and .bis..dreams by night. If th?-realization of his dreams depended upon South Carolina, he would stand about as much chanco of being President again its I do. He read over u? lot of resolutions there, aud evideutly wanted: me ter promise that tbo South Carolina Republicans would pass a similar Bet. They'd seo bim to Topbot first.
