A LITr1k RAD1cAn GAxE-The
boston radicals have addressed An
elaborate communication 10 the Presi-
dent on the question Of reconstruo-
tlon. The document Is signed by .
large number Of the leading men of
Boston, among whom is Theophilus
Parsons, its probable writer. The
object OF this movement is, :ostensibly.
to induce the President 20 put the re-
Claimed States upon . heightened
probation before admitting them into
Fellowship in the Union. The policy
OF this course is ably argued, and its
necessity, in view Of the intractable
spirit shown by the late rebels, is set
forth IN atrong terms. But the real
object OF the radicals is very easily
dlscerned through this nicely-worded
letter to the President. Their object
II to argue this qnestio0 before the
people, with q view of gaining
strength enough in the next Congress
to prevent ex-rebel. State members
from taking their seats, and by this
means compel the said States to adopt
the negro-sufrase doctrine in order TO
obtain representation in Congress.
This is the great end that the radicals
are now: figuzingn for, and they will
leave no means untried that promises
to facilitate its accampishment. As
the matter now stands, it is quito
doubtful whether they can muster
votes enough to reject the new mem
bers. upon the negro suffrage issue
alone, and hence their desperate at
tempta to make proselytes. 1t re-
mains to be seen what effect this last
dodge viii have toward the desired
end.-Nep York Sun, August %.
