re- The radical leaders at Wasl,ino-

GE The radical leaders at Washing
ton, evidently alarmed at the disclosure of
their revolutionary schemes, have modi-
fed their call for convention of the op-
ponents of President johnson, on the first
OF December, in Washington. They now
say that the menacing language in which
the previous call was couched did not mean
any thing The convention is only inten-
ded to welcome the radical Congress to the
capital, and not to intimidate the Presi-
dent So far as the people of the South
are concerned, it matters not what are the
designs of the malignant leaders in this
movement; they have the power to carry
out their destructive policy, without the
aid of brute force, and the sooner we have
full Development of their purposes con-
corning us the better Our backs are
broad enough to bear any accumulation of
wrongs which the malice and fanaticism
of the radicals can devise. More: they
have the power to impeach the President
and suspend him from the exercise of the
functions of his Office, whether be be guilty
or not of the crimes alleged against him.
We say they have the poper to do all this,
right or wrong, and they need not the in
tervention of a mob, or convention, to aid
them. If the laws of the land and the
constitution are in their way, they will
have no difficulty in disposing of them
it is enough to know that they have the
lpo~er; they will not stop to consider the
question of right. If it will subserve the
purposes or interests Of the radical party
in Congress to pass laws declaring the So
calle3 rebels out-lawed, and shall confis-
cate or destroy their property, they have
the power, and there can be no barrier
in their way. If giving the negroes the
right to vote will secure their ascendency
in the South, they have only to pass d law
and the thing is done. The radical ma
Jority has the poseer to pass any act that
may be deemed necessary either to perpet-
uate their owl power or degrade and OPP
press us What do they want with mob
to aid them Nonsense! There is no.
body to oppose them at the north, and the
southern people are too busily engaged in
attending to their own domestic matters
to offer any resistance.

Nebraska and Congress.

The territory Of Nebraska is, perhaps, as
sterile and desolate region as the desert
Of Sahara. It has some spots Of fertile
lands, but beyond the reach of improve
ment This territory, large enough in
extent for an Empire, must forever remain
for perhaps two-thirds Of its extent dis
NAL waste. Its population is sparse and of
the toughest type. But the dominant party
has resolved that this territory, vet in an
mediate and elementary condition, shall
be prematurely erected into State, in or
der to augment Radical power in Congress,
without passing through its proper terrific
rial pupilage. Before the next session Of
Congress shall come to an end, we may,
therefore. expect to see the grizzly bears
and Indians Of this territory represented
in the Senate and House of Representa-
tiyes-for lack Of a sufficient human pop
uIation. Meanwhile some of the oldest Of
the Satisfactorily half of the old thirteen,
are kept out OF the Union and threatened
with reduction to territorial condition
