There was meeting OF the Board OF

The " Grand Army

The Peoria Qll) Democrat thus refers
to an organization of the Radicals under
the name Of the Grand Army ae
At various times we have spoken Of
the organization known as the Grand
Army of the Republic" We have shown,
as we believe, that it is secret political
organization established on military
basis, for the purpose of furthering the
designs of the Radical and revolutionary
disorganizers, who oppose the union OF
the States under the Constitution. We
notice that none but the most trusty Of
the members Of the Radical party are
promoted to stations of importance in
the organization, and we have been in
formed, but this we do not assert to be
true, that none but those who swear
fealty to what is termed in the cant
phrase of the day loyalty, are admitted
at all. II would seem hence, that the de-
sign is to establish in The country an
armed force that can be used in the inte-
rest of political party at any time when
it may become convenient, or desirable
on the part of the leaders of the faction
to do so. Under this aspect of the case,
the matter assumes serious proportions.
1t is presumed that history furnished no
instance where political faction, in the
exciting times of rebellion or revolution,
or even in the turmoil Of political can
yass, has armed itself against its
opponents, and still neglected to use
these arms to promote its own object

THE RADICAL ATTENUATION.

The Radicals attempt an abbreviahon
of their true party name by leaving Oh
the first syllable dis" and for breviiy
call themselves the Union party. Ao-
breviations are, remarks an exchange
sometimes allowable, but never where II
is in opposition to the truth and sense
which should be expressed. Where u

wholly inadmissable. The Radicals
therefore, being under the lead OF the
notorious Northern dishnionists, and

Austria because France was on their
side--the direct influence of the french
Court and French ideas-were all rapid
" undermining Italian independence,
and making it clear that Italy could
never have a nationality or a constitu-
tional government, or free press, or libe-
raj church, till she had established her
nationality by her own right hand, and
had maintained her freedom from the
necessity Of French support. The con-
quest of venetia by the Italians was
almost indispe nsable to the future Of the
nation, to its freedom, its dignity, safety
and the development of its constituhonai
life. To gain Venice through French
generosity, is simply to put imperialism
over the parliamentary system, to en-
throne NAPOLEON over the whole PENN
sula, to submit the press, the people ana
the church to Napoleonic ideas, when
are ideas of absolutism and reaction.

THE PRESIDENT TO BE 1MpEAcHED

There is little room to doubt that 1t
the Radicals carry the fall elections,
their programme is to impeach President
JOHNSON. A leading Radical organ, the
New York Herald informs US, thus fore
shadows the probable bill of indictment
in reference to the late New Orleans
riots: "The more evidence we accumu-
late, the more we are convinced OF the
Justice of the judgment that the Prcsi'
dent must be held directly responsible
for all that he has done in New Orleans;
that she engendered the spirit which
broke forth in riots, murdered loyaiists,
and finally raised the Confederate
flag" that said riots "are the result
of the Presidents policy in Loni'
siaua." and fitting sequel to his
policy in Tennessee, where the military
authorities are prevented from pun
ishing the authors of the massacre at
Memphis; :" that the President began his
late chapter of usurpations at New Or
leans, July 2. "by menacing Governor
WELLS. a Governor of g sovereign State;
that this lawless and despotic work was
continued by depOsing him, and, to make
the work surer, by placing the army at
the disposal of rebel officer. After
some other specifications, the Radical
organ in question asks, DO we not see
this man president Johnson, while
clamoring against usurpation, perform
ing himself the very highest usurpations
when it suits his purpose9
Surely here, the Herald says, are facts
and charges enough, and of sufficient
gravity, for a radical impeachment OF
the party accused. .Preposterous as
these accusations may be, what is the
difference to the party accused if his &C.
cusers are bent upon his removal, and
have the power in Congress to carry out
their designs The Radicals profess to be
very sanguine of carrying the approach
ing Congressional elections, substantially
as they carried the elections of 1854
Ifthey are successful to this extent, or
even in securing majority in the next
House. there will be- reason, we say, to
fear the fullest developments of their
revolutionary schemes with the reassem-
bling of the present Congress in Decem-
Der, beginning with the impeachment OF
President JOHNSON This, therefore, is
now one of the questions to be considered
by the people in view of the fast APP
preaching fall election for the next Con-
rress

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

We have often observed the tenacity
with which military men hold on to mill
tary power They fully equal, in this
respect. the politicians. Keep one OF
the latter gentlemen in fat Office for
number of years, and it is difficult to
convince him that the Office does not be-
long to him in fee simple, in tail, or in
some form, at all events To turn him
out after all the money and I'M
portance he has derived from office,
is an outrage. And so with military
men. The lesson taught during the late
war was, that the civil authority is in
subsection to the military; and it appears
Nficult TO divest officers wearing stars
on their shoulders, that peace terminates
that assumption, and RENTS the regula-
ton Of public affairs to the custody OF
the civilians. II turns out that Gen.
BAIRD. commanding at New Orleans,
was notified Of an impending riot; that
notice came from the Lieut. Governor
# the State But that officer did not in
terfere for the suppression Of disorder,
and no steps we're taken until the affair
had eliminated in blood and slaughter,
and was over. Then the city was placed
under martial law. In confederation OF
