THE NEW RADICAL PROGRAMME.

i Gals at Washington to subrert the iaWiui fo'ase
:. governments in the South, and to have these
Southern States represented in Congress by repre-
sentatiyes Illegally chosen, and exponents OF 9
marty 10 which nine tenths of the Southern people
are in opposition That this was not merely SEN
sat;on-that it was something of present and pTac
/; tical importance events of the last few days
have abundantly shown. The bogus representa-
tive Of the territory of Louisiana, who has beer
dancing attendance at the doors of Congress sinct
the opening of the session, has suddenly returned
to this city has made his speech has had his reso
buttons passed, and has set in motion the mach
merry by which the territory of Louisiana is tt
be attached to the radical car, and made to follow
lobsequiously in the train Of Massachusetts, ant
Maine. There is to be an g election held her,
soon, in which the voters will be principally ne
groes, convention Of delegates will be chosel
representing negro constituencies, there will be al
attempted revolution Of political authority, Q pre-
tended Governor in the interest Of radcalism, and
bogus representatives. to the Congress of the
United States, who will assume to represent Louis
lana there and who, if not admitted to seats, VIII
i gain perhaps what they are really after-the mile
age and per diem of regular member. TINS
is what is seriously proposed by the few Jacoola
Headers in Louisiana, and they evidently trying
to convince themselves that there is nothing re-
bellious and revolutionary in their purposes.
1t is, however, q question for the real people Oh
| Louisiana to decide whether they Will treat TINS
thing seriously or as q farce. It would undoubt-
eddy suit the purposes of the revolutionary leaders
If we would raise it to the dignity Of serious COM
plication, and treat it accordingly If there were
any probability that it would be- anything else than
one Of those harmless exhibitions by which great
pretences of doing nothing are sometimes made, it
would be as well, perhaps, to interrupt these
enterprising gentlemen who are going to usurp
legal authority in Louisiana, put stop at to
their amusement, and inform them that it may do
to joke about some things, but about laws and
Constitutions there is certain sancity which it
Is dangerous to profane. But there seems to be
popular idea thatit promises to be one Of those
eccentric movements which are sometimes allowed
in American politics, which afford so much more
amusement than anxiety that they are accepted,
after the serious business of government in the ma
ture of absurd extravaganza at the theater when
the curtain has ring down upon a legitimate play.
In the proposed election, the PROBABILITIES are
that the votes Of coored men will bear the proper
ton to those of white men, of about fifty to one.
The white voters being men who believe in the
equality of the races, and in distinctions Of any
