all whom they are pleased to term ieao'''s
rs,c,s =, and punish by imprisonment or
can;,ally a large number of the best men
:, this section. This programme Is still
or;5cn,lv the favorite one with the mass OF
the Radical party. The department q the
southern delegates in the August CoIi<en-
ton. the national spirit manifested by all
the members, and the fraterual feeling
which pcrvaded the deliberations Of that
body, were felt by the Radicals to be
strong blow aimed at their asccndancy in
the northern States. In order to break
the force of this blow, they called con-
vention of southern loyalists, as they are
termed, to meet in the same city, and coun-
teract, by fair means or foul, the effects Of
the Conservative Convention. This latter
Convention has been a decided success.
We grievc TO know that such is the fact :;
bu. there is no doubt of il. The demon
STATIONS in Philadelphia prove that the
people Of that city have been reused TO 4

orators sent thither from the South and the
North. They cry for southern blood.
They threaten us with determination.
They sing in full chorus, Orally round the
flag, boys" and are persuaded by Bolts
and BUTLER that no one is true to the flag
who is not Radical. If this feeling
should extend its influence throughout
the northern States, the fall elections will
result diSastrously to the Presidents
policy, and show no better fruits than
those Just held in Vermont. 1t is well 10
look trouble full in the face. And to let
our readers know the purposes Of the
Radicals, as we'll as the diaholical spirit
which animates them, we give below some
extracts from FoRxEY's Philadelphia Press,
written while his blood was still warm with
the enthusiasm kindlcd by the speeches
of BUTLER, BoTTS, HARLAN, and others.
The Press says:
TIE LESSON LAST NI.HT.-There is some
thins terrible in the indigna ton of 4 great
people. And nowhere on earth is the sight so
sublime as in the United States, where iutelli-

they intend a thorough finishing of that work.

1t is very evident that FoRNEY would
like to see the northern people again ar
rayed against the southern on the battle
field. He writes as if he were fcnd who
delighted in carnage and human gore.
But he makes the mistake of suppOSing
that the Radicals can induce our people
again 10 take up arms. They have none
to take up: and no idea of resorting to
force again. If the President cannot pro-
tcct them, they, all impoverished and I'M
protected as they are, will no doubt have
10 submit to such laws as the Radicals
sLall make for their government or leave
the country. But the North cannot eS-
cape these troubles second time. There
are friends Of free government there who
will surely not allow the great fabric OF
liberty erected by the revolutionary fathers
10 be replaced by a despotism without
making some effort TO save it. The New
York Herald speaks for these men in the
following paragraph in reference to the
Radicals:
"Woe be- 10 the South and the whole
country II these men are permitted 10 rule.
We should have a reign of terror, civil war
and universal ruin. The only hope we
have is that the people of the North, and par
ficularly OF the great central States, will have
common sense aud patriotism enough 10 pre-
vent such a catastrophe by elecling to Con
gress 4 different class of men at the coming
elections
That, we firmly believe, is the last hope
of the people. The success of the Radi-
Gals hereafter would be the death-blow to
the Union as it was established by our
fathers. They would doubtless impeach
the President as the quickest mode of
putting him out of the way. The HroH
says:
1--WE may take il rs a settled purpose of the
Radicals, IN the event of their success in these
fall elections, 10 impeach President Johnson
first electing some such reliable fanatic AS
Sumner or Wade President of the Senate TO
become President for the time being with the
removal Of johnson. What then: Then we
may look out for such a reign OF madness, IA
natcism, terror, and confusion as will hurry
us headlong 10 the gulf of bankruptcy and
ruin, financial and political Union and States,
now threatens Us.
If, however, even the State of New York
shall rally to the support of the President,
and elect conservative State officers and
representatives in Congress, the danger
will be over. Even the foolhardy Radi-
Gals would not attempt TO perpetuate their
mower in an unlawful mannar with tho
