quens. Ne. yet fully defeated at the National

confidence in their power TO carry tie Sonth
along with them, they urge, With greater zeal,
their favorite notion Of Southern nationality.

the work Of advocating and extending their

other lights OF less magnitude, or a. least, less
Familiarity known.
We speak adyisedly when We say that this
visionary and sedItious party - . dangerous
| one. Il becomes more apparent every day,
that they have . settled purpose OF doing their
utmost, by noisy camors. sectional inciiemtnts,
appeals to local passions IN. prejudices, and BY
oil the arts Of radical 6enag -nes, to break up
our Government For seais past, their iabors
have been less open, less clearly understood,
than At present. They had succeeded in carry.

Perhaps they were even surprised at 20 ready
compliance with extrayagant demands. that
may have been intended for no other purpose
than to hasten separation desired by them
from the first. Every compliance with their

perious claims. They have succeeded in chsng-
ing the original policy Of the Government Of
suppressing slavery in the Territories. They
next demanded the abrogation OF "A restriction
OF this sort OH a vast Territory, which, South
ern measure Of compromise, was an express
condition. legal "considcra! ion," in effect
for the admission Of Missouri. They have OBJ.
tanned, from at least two departments Of the
Government, q recognition OF their claim TO
take slaves into any Territory u the Union and
hold them. Now under the Lecompton scheme,
they 20 step farther, and expressly demand
of the government to intervene for the purpose
of forcino slavery into a new State whose peo-
pie have legally declared, by large majority, I
that they will not have this among their local
institutions.
Here il progress, in very ew years, with
decided emphasis. To this radical clique, rest
less, interchangeable, grasping. aad insolent. te- |
longs the credit They conscious OF the
power they have thus welded through mere
impuden. self assertion. They have infected a |
large number of the Southern States with their |
perncious doctrines. They have gained great |
power for mischief. As they will not surrender |
this advantage without desperate struggle, |
and as the time has evidently come when hey
will be compelled TO submit, or 70 into open re-
volt, we NAV count upon the latter alternative
as the more probable, and prepare ourselves 10
meet their reasonable efforts. They ayow this |
as their determination. 1t is high time that /
to this clamorous cl:lue should end.
The South itself, we doubt not, has sufficient
strength to put down the rebellion, and suifi-
cient conservatism and good sense to make
the issue, before the danger becomes greater.
The plans of these Southern Radicals are |
thoroughly revolutionary, "a well a. visionary |
in their character. They contt nplate nothing |
less-and~e believe their efforts are now direct |
ed almost exclusively to this branch OF their |
scheme--than a separations OF the southern |
States from the coniederacy; the acquisition OF
all the Territory bordering Oh tie cut; aud the |
establishment of a sldreholdtty monarchy |
Those who have not noticed The kind Q: talk /
with which the Radical organs above named |
are 6lledAmay start back mere Ia. ou>Iy from this
statement. But TO this end, the articles in these |
organs, the of the fire CARERS III Congress,
the deliberations OF the Southern Conventions,
and the various movements OF the hlhusters
and propagandists, are now more or less openly
directed. An express or a tacit understanding |
OF this sort exists among all the principals, II
not accessories also, On this stdtion. The plot |
will be fully developed at no distant da.
De Bows Review now declares that 'khe ma |
tnre of our government is such as TO render IL |
short-liped" That is to say, this leading and |
most dignihed organ of the Southern Radicals, |
if its language has any meaning, has 10 faith |
in the stability Of our republican system. 1t |
gives at one reason, that 'our form OF govern |
ment invests indipidudi or line with perHia- |
nent responsibility" We have, in short, no |
kng-hence our government cannot endure
Lest we should mistake this oracle, however,
this opinion il put in these clearer terms I'VE |
hare no hereditary monarchy, in which the fidel-
ity OF the ruler is guaran,eed-by his regard for
has chiidrens throne" To keep up slight dis |
guise for his imme date object Of preparing the
way for Southern Monarchy las the Review
circnlates almost exclusively in the South, and
this talk can have other purpose,) the writer
introduces the following ianctui illustration:
'The better portion OF the citiztn OF New
York city would gladly exchange their present
corrupt and debased city government for
aciseiy adjusted Constitutional mondrchy.
Extracts OF this fort might be multiplied, but
these will do for once. The purpose We have
stated can be satisfactorily established, from
the utterances Of the various fre-eatng oracles.
Their seditous schemes not only exist, Beyond
all doubt, but we believe they have sufficient
strength of partisan support TO make them for
midablc, when the time comes 10 put them into
execution. Dangerous aud desperate as this
faction-is, strangely enough it aspres to rule the
party calling itself Democratic, and has very
eiiectually uled it to further these unLoly ends.
