We continue this morning sour extracts from
Northern papers Of the 4th instant
The leading editorial Of the New York Herald.
Of las. Saturday, is one Of such pointed signi6-
canoe that we make room in our columns for
the entire sTt;cle. To fully understand the
scope and significance Of the Heraids words it
must be borne in mind that the revolutionary
radicals" against whose accession to power in
the State the people are so earnestly warned,
are the ultrs-abolitioniots, upon whose platform
Lincoln rode into power, and who BOW consti-
tute the dominant war party Of tie North. The
writer desires 70 convey the belief that with
their defeat in the Empire State, peace viii
come, though he dare not say so much II so
many words. We give the article
The coming State elections, and particularly
the election in the State Of New York, are pTeg-
nant with such tremendous consequences that
if the people could only understand them IN all
their length and breadth there would be such q
revolution at the polls as would go far to arrest
the rapid progress Of the republic 20 dissolution
and anarchy. Upon the State Of New York,
more than any other in the Federal Union, de-
ponds the fate Of the country for Weai or Tor
woe. Yet We fear that, owing 70 the amount OF
money that viii be brought 20 bear, the opera
tons Of the army contractors and other corrupt
Influences, together with the fact that the people
are net yet faIly alive 10 the nature Of the crisis
through which they are passing, the candidate
CT the deslTuetives viii be elected, and the con
sergadves will awaken too late % a sense Of the
real condition Of the country. The success Of
General Wadsworth in this State would be the
success Of the Puritan ROuH3hesds, vino pre-
sumo to dictate morality religion and legisls-
u0B TO the whole continent, and it would be the
p~rolongatiOn of the war till the army and navy
contractors bleed the North TO death and des
troy the South by the ssse process.
II Wads8Orth succeeds let us expect 8 reign
Of terror, such as he ~inaHgurated at Washington,
when he arrested even the OhicerB Of Justice, Ia
violation Of the Constitution and the laws Of the
land, to the disturbances Of the white population
aud confusion Of the poor negroes, who could
not understand what was meant for them By the
military governor Of the District of Columbia.
If Wordsworth succeeds, every nan who differs
with him in politics viii be arrested, and q des-
potism established in this State such as has not
existed in modern times in any patton pretend
ing to free institutions. The truth is that Wads-
worth is an arissocrat Of the frst water. and
claims bis position not from any merit of his
OWE, but from the wealth Of his ancestors,
derived from the oppression Of human beings
far superior to negroes. II WadswCrth IS elected.
let the people Of this State look out t5ra tyranny
such IS has net been experienced in any other
country in modern times. If unfortunately he
should be chosen governor Of this State, he
would have all his political opponents arrested
and consigned to dungeons, aud their property
seized and coDfscsted under the set Of Cen
gTess. The issues made by bis organs is that
every man who votes against his election is q
traitor, and, consequently is liable 10 be stripped
Of all the worldly goods he possesses, together
with his liberty, if not lis life.
eff, therefore, the candidate Of the TeyolQ-
H0nary radicals should be successful. We are
approaching a period ike that Of the Roman
prescriptions, I'D which Marius and Syila, Casar
and POmpey, in turn ostTaeissd the whole people
and c0nshcsted their property. The success Of
the radicals is, therefore, the ruin Of the eJuDTy.
Il is bloOdshed and civil war without end.
"On the other hand, The success Of Of the con
servatives in this State wOuld shorten The WEI.
