Radicalism and More Civil War.

The sensation kilograms TO the New York
Hearld, in which Mr.. Seward ID warned OF
another rebellion, is kind of information
that is eagerly seized upon by the abolition
newspaper press. The object of the abolition
n newspapers in thus propheeying war is, or
ought to be, patent to every body. Ii Is done
simply with view of creating sentiment
hostile to the admission of southern represen-
tatives. It is done that the south may be
prevented from voting in the next preslden.
tial election. All of Summers "eioquence,"
of Stevens's epaeches, of New England fan
Atheism in congress, of the delays of congress
sional legislation. have the single object of
eIecting the next president.
Our unusually observing correspondent at
the national capital charges directly upon
w ade and his radical colleagues the project
of organizing and armipg southern negroes
tor the purpose of securing a black lnsurrec-
| ton. What this is being done for is thus
| stated by correspondent
s'The RADICALS are OF opinion that negro revolt
| in the south would do great deal to convince the
people OF the north that present troubles never
be settled, except on the basis OF universal sui
furase and universal equality, and they are willing
to assist in any possible way that does not END
ger their lives In bringing on the Crisis. De-
pend upon it, the people of the north, will sooner
or later have TO make up their minds whether they
/ are prepared to the southern people butchercd
| negroes at the instlgation of the New England
| fanatics, and Tor other purpose than to secure
political power for the radical party. 1t Will come
| to that before long,
1t is well known fact that the predeces
sor of President johnson used the fedora!
armies to secure the presidential election In
1864. All the fighting done prior to Novem
Der of that year was not for the purpose Oh
putting down the rebellion, but to secure a
reelection of the presidential Incumbent
More lives were lost and more money spent,
twenty times over, by the predecessor of Pres
ident johnson to secure his reelection than
were employed in suppessing the entire suth-
ern rebellion.
In view of these facts in view of the pros
titution of power by the radicals, from 1861
till the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln; and in
view of the fact that to-day the same party
is pursuing the Same ruinous course for the
same insignificant purpose. I'VE have no bes-
itation in saving that the fears of the radicals
of another civil contest may not be wholly
without foundation. But such war would
be between the people and the partisan poll
ticians who to-day keep the southern repre-
sentatives from congress, who enact practical
disunion. who prssistently thwart the union
policies of the president, who are organizing
negro insurrection, and are doing q thousand
other equally cruel. uneons ., asional and ru-
inous things. simply that they may secure
the next president.
