OF the radicals with the war, both as to its le-
climate objects. the generals in the field and
the recruiting of the army, has now become
fully developed, and the nation is compelled to
eat Of the bitter fruits. BY their own confession
they have done their utmost to prevent enlist
ments. We have already convicted Wilson out
OF his own mouth. But he is not alone. His
fellow conspirators of the Jacobin Club played
their part to some purpose Chandler, Sumner,
Wade, Trumbull, Fsssenden and the rest. For
example, Fessenden, on the 2sth of March, made
the following observations in which the radi-
calls to man aoquissced:-

As our readers are aware. the veracious Will
son. at meeting in Newton, Mass, recently,
disclaimed having made any such speech as
this. He said:-'I have always maintained
that the government wanted more men.
There is not shadow of truth on which to lay
the foundation of the assertion The man who
could make this speech is equally capable of
denying it. He has stabbed his country to the
heart and now he tries to exculpate himself
from the murder. By the extract from the re-
port of the proceedings of the Senate, which we
copy above from the Washington Globe, the Of
fetal organ of Congress- it will be seen that not
only did Wilson 60 to the War Department lover
and over again to urge upon it ito stop re-
cruiting in every part Of the country but, &C
cording to Fessenden, Wilson, the Senator from
were eminently successful. Quoth FessendeB:-
II offered proposition the other day to stop
all eulistments. / understand that
the department has absolutely stopped enlist
,nents'
1t thus appears that the consprators. through
the weakness of the War Department, carried
their point, and left the Army Of the Potomac
to be slaughtered and driven back for want of
achievements. By their intrigues and false
hoods last winter and spring they kept the
troops in the field at SO low figure that to-day
the enemy in Virginia more than doubles the
Union army in numbers. The consequences
are already bad enough; but, unless extraordi-
nary exertions are made, the worst isyst 10
come. By their rascality in causing the
division of m army already too weak,
and by preventing any unity of design or prac-
teal cooperation, our forces have been beaten
in detail by the concentration Of the enemy in
superior numbers at the point of attack. FIRE.
mont was whipped 80 badly by Jackson that
he was afraid to follow him up and hang on
his rear. The consequence was that 'sStone-
wall" appeared in the scene of 1.-THE seven
days" before Richmond, while the Pathfinder
had lost his way among the mountains, and
Mcdowell remained in the vicinity of Frede-
ricksburg, doing nothing-neither coming to the
aid of Mcclellan, overwhelmed by numbers,
nor preventing Jackson from effeoting juno
ton with Lee By the Same Encouragement
unprecedented in the history Of war, Beaure-
gard was allowed to escape from Corinth and
a considerable portion of bis army turned up
at Richmond.
by the plots Of the radicals, not only has the
grand Army Of the Potomac been rspulsed
but by changing and preventing the Legitimate
objects of the war, by means of unconstitu-
tional bills in Congress and absurd proclama-
tons OF generals, and the rampant, fanatical
tone Of q satanic press, wet blanket has been
thrown on the enthusiasm of the North, and
the seeds Of fatal division among us sown
while the rebel army has been trebled;
and now, In their frantic desperation, the
cowardly, base Jacobins are calling for
handful of negroes to rescue white popula-
ton more than double that Of the enemy. The
last card in their Hand is to induce the Presi.
dent to proclaim the emancipation of the ne
groes, and to arm them against the white popu-
lation Of the South, to massacre its unarmed cid
men, helpless women and children, which is
about all that the few blacks that might be in
duced to enlist under the abolition banner
could accomplish. and which would be sure
to result in the destruction of the negro race.
Thus, like swine swimming down the stream,
at every stroke the radicals have been cutting
their own throats, till now, at last, they are
doomed to sink, overwhelmed in the waves Of
popular indignation. They have fearful ac-
count To render for the blood Of the people shed
