RADICAL PARTY vIoEENcE.-At a radical
meeting held on Monday evening. at the corner
Blunt moved the following resolution
Resolved That every vote given for James ). wads
worth for lyaly, and every vote given for Ho
ratio Seymour is a vote or treason.
The resolution was adopted and a dele
gate Immediately after called Mr.. Seymour
'.the traitors candidate" This is a sample Of
the violence with which the canvass is carried
on by the radicals in the contest for Governor
of this State. If there be any truth in these
allegations, the best plan would be to arrest
Seymour before he is elected, and to arrest all
the democratic voters, that they uay not be
able 10 cast their safirages for him. This
would be the simplest and easiest way Of de-
feating -the traitors candidate All the demo
cratic soldiers in the army from this State ought
also to be dNarmed and placed in Fortress
Monroe as prisoners. Nor do we see why the pro-
ceeding should be confined to the troops OF this
State. II ought TO be extended to the troops Of
all the democratic States, and in this way rad
cal victories might be secured everywhere. For
instance, the Tenth Illinois regiment consists
almost n not altogether, Of democrats. That
regiment ought 70 be sent to Alton as traitors,
and prevented from fgbting hereafter for the
Union. And 50 OF many Of the Pennsylvania
regiments. Why are all these traitors permit
ted 30 have the use of arms to fight against the
rebels, while Gree,sy's loyal 100000, who
.never smelled battle, are waiting to be armed
and led against the enemy?
OBJECTIVE GvypoATs-We notice that the
Navy Department is still building wooden gun
Fboats Of the same model as those ordered at
the outbreak OF the rebellion. Now, expe-
rience has proven that such gunboats are de-
| fective for river and coast service. On rivers
| they are unable to FIRE ahead, on account Of a
popularity of their construction, and during a
stern chase, as chase on river must neces-
sarily be, or when advancing bows on upon
the enemy, their broadsides are harmless, and
they are almost useless. On coast service they
are equally defective; for in any sort Of sea
they roll gunwale under. Will the Navy De-
partment overhaul its log, make note Of these
facts, and give US boats Of q better models II
wastes money upon such gunboats o. these.
