Tho AtrocioUs Plot 10 Hand the Gov.

by southern Editor.
Ffom the Cincinnati COinnerctdE.
John Forsyth, tho editor OF the Mo-
bile Register, and I'm influential South
Crn politician. is passing his timo very
agreenbly in New York City, and wrf
and politics in tho North. A Northern
editor or correspondence in his section is
denounced aS n "spy," and frequently
told that he remains thore at his peril.
Mr.. Forsyth, however, is trented cour-
teouSly, ns we are very glad to learn
from his letters, mud as ho or any other
Southern Oditor or correspondent may
expect to be among people who do not
ask n man to conform his opinions and
conclusions to their own as a condition
of his remaining among and being hos
pitably treated by them.
But Mr.. Forsyth Is not only cour-
teOusly treated, but taken into the
Gratis and Conservatives. Ho is dined
and wined by thom, introduced at
thetr headquarters, consulted by the po-
litiCal leaders, introduced to the candi-
dates, and initiated into tho secrets OF
their campaign and the objects they ex-
he tells the readers of the Register OF
his introduction to, and interview with
Mayor Hoffman, the Democratic nnmi-
nee for Governor OF the State of New
| York. The Mayor tells him that he ex-
poets to leave New York City with a
majority OF 81, 600, and that the solid
men-'the cab load" that went up to
Albany to put him IN nomination
scan easily throw million of dollars
into the treasury OF tho canvass" that
the vote OF the soldiers may go against
him, but It will not equal the aggregate
cast for Lincoln against Mcclellan; and
that the Conservatives expect to gnin
five members of Congress i'll November,
and SO on through u half column of po-
litiCal chit chat. But Mr.. Forsyth re-
voRls much more important matter
In connection with the present Con-
gress, and declares q purpose that, II
carried out, will undoubtedly result in
the gravest national difficulties. Here
is what he says, based, doubtless, on
what has been told him by Hoffman,
Wood e Co.:
"But the final struggle in tho great
national contest will 6c at Washington
in the organization of tho next Con.
greSS. Ifthe Conservatives hold their
own, the South will b0 counted in the
organization, and tho two will conSti-
tute IA quorum. Washington will be
one or not, will depend on the fighting
temper of tho radicals. The true Union
men do not regard the present Rump as
n Congress Of the United States in the
meaning Of the C6MStitUtiOn, and theiy
purpose IS to organize a Congress of me
Constitution. II the struggle resolves
itself into an issue of force, the war oi
revolution started Mt tho center will
widen its circle, and soon sCt the whole
North in blaze"
Comment on this secms superfluous
There is no doubt that cOup'd etat Of
this sort is contemplated Mt Washing.
ton, and the plotters of 1t know as well
as John Forsyth that it will plunge the
country into another disastrous war
The people ofthe loyal States will never
submit to have tho sword, the purse
and tho lAw-mnking power OF the mn
tion put into the hands of parcel o
representatives of the Southern States
not one of whom can take tho oath o
loyalty to the Government, and grea
many of whom are yet unpardonet
traitors. Yet this Is exactly what Il
contemplated in tho scheme (liVulgeC
by Mr.. Forsyth.

this scheme may take warning that they
had better abandon 1t before tho timt
when it will be too late for them to es
cape the responsibilities Of sub can afro
cious attempt TO subyert the Govern
ment.
Meantime, there is an opportunity fo
the people themselves to defeat the plot
ters. Whatever opinions may have
been entertained of tho course of Con
gress, there is but one way to put nr
end to this project of the bnflled traitors
and that is to return to Congress the
Union candidates, giving them such {
prepondering majority that there will
be no pretext for setting up n Congress
compounded of treachery aud treason
nearly half of whose proposed mem
bers are covered with the infany OF re-
belliOn, and whose garments nro stain,

died that the Union might live.
