The leading apostles of the radical dis
union agitating factions of the North have
lust had a pow-wow in Faneuil Hall, Bos-
ton, and have appointed committee to in-
augurate another revolution. This gath
ering marks another step in the scheme set
in motion by Chief Justice Chase just be-
fore his departure to the rice fields Of the
South. 1t develops more fully their plan of
action, and enables us to see more clearly
the intent and purpose OF these Northern
traitors. Long before President johnson
had announced his policy of reconstruc-
ton, the radicals, under the lead of Chase
and Sumner, commenced crusadein favor
OF universal negro suffrage, and endeavor-
ed to stir up a spirit OF characterization
among the emancipated slaves of the South.
AS hepYactical and Constitutional plans
of the President tor the reorganization of
the Southern States were developed step by
step, these Northern disuhionists grew
boldep and bOlder.l0T The fanatival clergy
men began their agitation from the pulpit.
Wendell Phillips, thehigh priest of the late
Abolitionists, threatened Reputation; and
The Tribune followed with the declaration
that the negroes would be disloyal if they
were not allowed to vote. Thus the scheme
progressed until, finally, Governor Andrew,
failing to secure position in Mr.. JOhnson's
Cabinet out of spite, united with the radi-
cal conspirators in opposition to the Pres-
dent, and called a meeting in Faneuil Hall
to perfect the revolutionary, programme
and take the initiatory steps for a social
war. ., ,..;...
This gathering assembled In Boston on
| Wednesday, and was addressed by such
agitators as Theophlus Parsons, Henry
Ward Beecher, X. Ii. Dana and Senator
Pomeroy. If there was any doubt as to the
disorganizing and revolutionary intention
of Chief Justice Chases letter to his West
elm friends, or in his speech to the. freed
men of Charleston-any uncertainties as to
the meaning of Senator Summers advice to
the North Carolina negroes, in the threats
of reputation by Wendell Phillips, or dis
loyalty by The 1'ribune-thOse doubts and
uncertainties are removed by the temper of
the meeting and character Of the utterances
in Faneuil Hall. This makes the chain of
evidence complete, and fastens upon the
radicals of the North a disupipn programme
as dangerous to the country as the late
Southern rebellion. 1t conVicts the radical
leaders Of an attempt to inaugurate war
between races upon the heels of our late
ciVH WdI' ~ ConciusNeiy PioNoo q uoCcl-
mination to incite social or negro war,
and thus distract and disorganize the coun-
try, as well as materially delay its recovery
from the effects Of the monster Southern
rebellion. The public are, however, thank
full that the radical disorganizers have thus
early announced their programme. To be
forewarned is to be forearmed. The Ad-
ministration now understands their pur-
poses, and can proceed accordingly. Nor
Is it probable that the people will sit idly
by and permit the same class of Puritanical
agitators who inaugurated the crusade
against the institution of slavery, and thus
forced the South intoIebellion, ending in q
long and bloody war, to incite another insur-;
rection. They will not be inclined to see
these men, Pharise5 like, glory in their
self-righteousness, and ineite social war,
after the enormous sacrifice of 'lifeiand ex-
penditure of treasure in the, suppressionof
the rebellion which had its first inception
in the anti-slavery agitation Of this same
set of men. Nor need they for a moment
imagine that the country will stand anoth-
er war brought on by the same set of men
who stirred up an melted the other. 1t will
be we'll for them to bear this in mind at the
outset. ".' 'nail W irN'
But 1t appears that these Jacobins grew
eloquent In behalf of negro voting. One
gentleman declared that the Government
should hold the Southern States in military
possession and give the negro the right to
vote, thus overriding both law and Consti-
tuition. Another argued that the "war is
not over yet, and that the whole country
to-day is in the attitude and state of war.'
Grant that such is the case. Let us con-
cede that the country is in a state of war,
and that we are subject to military rule, as
these Jacobins claim. What, then, Is the
position in which they have placed them
selves before the country? If We are In a
state of war SO much the more necessity of
the Presidents marking out line of
policy on which to conduct the nation
to an early peace. tIf the, country is, in
an attitude of war the President Is the
COMMUNICATIVE Chief, and those who op-
pose his announced policy and attempt
to defeat or Illustrate 1t and give aid and
comfort to the enemy, are as much traitors
as those who take UP arms against the Gov
ernment. These sJaoebins sare, therefore,
convicted out OF their own, mouths, and are
as fully amenable, according to their own
reasoning, as were the Northern secession
lists, who, In every way in their power, aid
ed and abetted the rebels in arms. This be-
ing the case, the duty Of President johnson
is plain. He has no other ultimatum but to
arrest the whole party. engaged in uttering
disloyal sentiments in the Faneuil Hall
meeting for Stirring up and melting insur-
rection. They were, by,their own showing,
melting mutiny among the emapcipated
slaves, and trying to secure the united hos
tility of the colored race to our military
authorities. They are thus attempting to
bring another element fn,yto prolong the
contest and addto its present complications
a war of races It. is. clearly the duty of
the President to arrest these disunionists
and incarcerate them In Fortress Monroe
in cells alongside of JEFF: Davis The peo-
ple demand this much of Mr.. johnson be-
fore their Instruction programme assumes
more forrnidable' proportions Y. Her
