the south, especially from Richmond, where
measures are now in progress similar to thos;
which transpired at New Orleans just before the
recent riots thore. These circumstances are sc
manifest and the obj cots transparent that they
leave no doubt as to the intention of the
orig .nators-that the Northern radicals are
now moving heaven and earth to stir up strife
and cause bloodshed in the South, for the ex.
press purpose of counteraciing the effect OF the
uprising Of the people at the Philadelphia Con.
veniion. This fact the public fully understand
hence the increasing popularity of the Phila-
delphia gathering.
The experience of the past winter, with The
radicals in power in Congress and The insur-
rectionary developments which are now going
forward, traoeabe directly to their hands,
leave the people no other alternative but to
crush out the Northern or Massachusetts, rad-
Gals just as eflectually rs they have those Of
South Carolina. This is the only way that we
can have peace and quiet, q restored Union and
aprosperous country. To this necessity the con-
servatve element of the North is fast awakening.
The popular mass meeting in the Quaker City
ton. II took the people four long years to
put down the Southern radicals by the use OF
the bullet; but they have learned something by
experience, and intend TO commence this war
on the Northern radicals in time to pat them
down at the approaching elections nv the bal
lot This the radicals begin to realize: hence
their bitterness anger and bold defamation OF
the President. We see ii also in the leborcd
efforts Of the Wilson's, Logans, Trumbulls, aud
the other radical orators. who are no longer
able to control their temper but indulge 81
the most outrageous epithets that they can
invent They hope by resorting to extreme
revolutionary and insurrectionary measures
and abusive language TO avert the storm
and postpone the day of their downfall.
In this they only initiate the deeds OF the
Southern radicals. The moment that The latter
saw their chances for success disappearing, and
began TO realize that their defeat was certain.
they led TO all manner of plots and con-
spracies, from raids on defencelcss towns on
the Canadian border to the destruction of
steamers, the burning OF cities and the assassi-
nation Of public officials, in the vain hope of
thus postponing the day OF their doom.
But "a each one Of these steps only made the
conservative portion of our population the
more determined and caused them to renew
and increase their efforts to crush out the South

for their overthrow at the ballot box. Their
course is producing precisely the same effect
upon the popular mind as the desperate mea-
sures Of the South did against them. The
means, therefore, which they are resorting 10
for the purpose of retaining power is the very
thing that will cause their overthrow and repu-
diation by the people. Let them continue their
revolutionary work, and they will soon realize
the fact that the same people who put down
the Southern radicals with the bullet will put
them down with the ballot, and that they will

were in tho former. They can rest assured
that the uprising of the people in 1856 will be
as significant as chat of 1861, and like that will
be participated in by the great mass of our
people without regard to parties or ante
cedents. The Philadelphia Convention is but
the concen tration Of this feeling. in a national
point of view, where men from all sections
forgetting their past associations and their
former political differences, as in 1861, will
rally to put down the enemies Of the country.
Tho Atlantic Cable and the New York Press.
The special dispatches which We published
yesterday from London, Berlin, Florence. Paris
and Madrid are conclusive evidence of the sue
cess Of the Atlantic cable. We're il not for the
fact that the cable across the Gulf OF St. Law

able to lay before our readers every morning

Europe the day previous. But this difficulty
will soon be remedied and the electrical link
between New York and London completed,
when the readers OF the HERALD in this metropo-

their morning meal, all the interesting events

Even this excels nything that has ever before

public the news from Europe, OF daily expense
of from 5000 to $1,000, is certainly icat
