The Convention or state GovernOrs-The
Roundhesd Conspiracy.
The reasonable Developments at the Con-
vention of State Governors, held on Wednes-
day at Altoona, in Pennsylvania, fully confirm
tie opinion we have long since expressed that
plot had been set on foot by the radicals at
the North to abolish the Union. the. constitu-
ton and negro slavery together, without regard
TO the legal, moral or social obstacles IN the
way. or any disastrous consequences that might
ersue from the execution of their desperate
programme. Even the President himself, If he
should continue to stand in their path, must be
swept away. and with him all the guarantees
of law and public order.
That revolutionary conspiracy has been or
gaaized for some time at the North, under the
designation OF the Rouniheads, or the Puritans,
is now placed beyond doubt. The originators
are the lineal descendants of the rebel Round
heads in England, who kept that country for
forty years in hot water and civil war. This
reasonable conspiracy began in New England.
but il has its ramications in New York and
various other Northern States, and some Of its
ruling spirits are to be always found at the na-
tienal capital.
The first intimaton we had Of the existence
of this secret organization was the disloyal
response of Governor Andrew, of Massachu
sets to the call of Secretary Stanton for troops,
in May last, when he refused to send the
desired regiments, intimating that the call
was not . "real," but a sham one, but
that If the President was in earnest, and
would proclaim negro fraternity and equality.
and let the blacks fight side by side with white
men, then 'tlle roads would swarm with the
multitudes that New England would pour out
to obey the call" of the Secretary of War. In
other words, Governor Andrew would delibe-
rately let the government bs overthrown by
the rebels of the South unless II consented to
submit to the dictation of the Roundheads
and agreed to o fanatical policy which.
IL successful, would make the South another st.
Domingo, and infct blow upon the whole
country, from which II could not recover in half
century.
The next evidence we have Of the exist
once and objects of the Society of Roundheads
is the meeting at Providence of the New
England Governors with the New York Jscobin
Club which goes by the misnomer OF :" The
National War Committee" Then aud there 1t
was proposed, in view Of the refusal of the
government to permit them TO organize re-
volutionary army of fifty thousand men, to be
placed under the command Of General Fremont
that the Governors Of the Northern States
should be applied to for that number Of men
and arms, as nucleus around which the eie-
mcnts OF Northern fanaticism and revolution
might gather for the destruction Of the govern
ment unless II fell in with Their designs TO abolish
the constitution OF the United States by force
and arms The recent Withholding Of troops
from the general government in the hour Of
need aud the developments of the radical Co
vernors at Altoona, complete chain Of evil
dencs as TO the existence Of a most dangerous
conspiracy. Their object appears to be to
prolong the war, in order to make fortunes for
themselves or their friends by contracts and
at the same time to insure the final dismember-
ment Of the United States, in order to the per-
manent control Of the Northern section by q
fanatical faction which would compel all men
to adopt their standard Of morality and
religion, like the tyrant Procrustes, who, If
HE victims were too long, cut of their legs
in order to reduce them to the dimensions Of the
bed on which he tortured them, or, II they were
too short stretched them to the requisite length.
Upon one frivolous pretencs or another the
troops raised In several Of the Northern Ststes
have not been sent forward by these Governors
to Washington. In . single Stats Ven thousand
are said to be retained The fact Of the troops
having been held back at this particular crisis,
when their presence In the feld might have
rendered the great battle in Maryland imms-
diately decisive by preventing the escape Of the
rebel army into Virginia, IL very significant,
when coupled with another fact developed at
Altoona. that the radicals proposed TO call upon
the President 70 remove General Mcclellan
jus. after he had won The most brilliant victory
Of the war, and were only defeated In their 1t

Governor Tod, Of Ohio, that the people would
