Recon nstr,,cticn, Negro Suffrage and tho
.Incobfas.
The radical schemers have been for some
time past maturing their plans of oppostion to
the reconstruction policy of the President.
They have, however, met with serious draw
back in their programme in finding an audi
enco to endorse their extreme ideas. The
Chase men called meeting at The Cooper In
ssitute, in this city, with the sole view Of Sc
curing such an expression Of approval Of their
views that il would force President johnson
to adopt them. But in this they signs.Iy failed.
The people unceremoniously repudiated item
rnd their theories. They were, therefore, forced
to depend upon the threats OF some radical
journal, or uttersnce Of Jacobin orator, de-
livered in some obscure place, or else, Ike
Justice Chase, select for their bearers the ne
groes among the canebrakes Of the South.
They were finally unable to hold in any longer,
blow ont they must have, and Boston was
selected as the place. The result shows that
Boston is the only place where they can obtain
an audience that will endorse their revolu-
tionary programme; and yet we have nothing
in the published proceedings TO show whether
that gathering was large, or composed Of
mere handful Of stroag-ninded women and
crazy fanatics, which are always 10 be found
there.
It will be seen by the extracts from the pro-
ceedings Of the Republican State Convention,
held al Columbus, Ohio, few days ago, which
we publish elsewhere, that member of this
convention endeavored to secure the adoption
Of the negro suffrage and the radical pro-
gramme by that body, but could net even get
his resolutions in edgewise. The Convention
would not listen TO hin, but shut him of. by
the previous question, and then endorsed Presi-
dent Johnson and his policy, and glorlied those
public men who approve the Presidents course,
never SO much as aliuding TO Mr.. Chase.
This is rather rough treatment for Mr.. Chase
in his own State, and shows conclusively that
unless his friends organize the party which
he requested them TO do, he has no party
to support him in his own State and will
have to emigratc to Boston. But il ap-
pears that the would-be modern Athens is
| the paradise of the JacobDs. There they
can rant and scold, make faces, utter threats
| and denunciatious, incite insurrection, inaugu-
rate revolution, stir up mutiny against our mill
tary authorities, lay the foundation for war
Of races, and find congregation that will ap-
| plaud, II matters not how reasonable may be
the utterances Of tho speakers This Faneuil
Hall gathering was something more than a
more political assemblage; 1t was q revolu-
tionary and insurrectionary meeting, as much
ns was the secession meeting in Charleston
before the war, or the copperhoad convocation
in this city soon after the war commenced.
Like these, It's objects were the defeat of tao
administration and the overthrow of its policy,
us they term il, while we arc in state Of war.
That 1t was reasonable in its character the
language of the speakers fully attes.s. One Of
tho orators, after arguing in favor Of universal
negro suffrage, declared, off we do not secure
tihat now. IL can never bo exoept BY new
