REVOLUTIONARY.

A special despatch from Washington to
the Philadelphia Ledger, announces that the
weak, imbeeile, traitor who now occupies
the Office of Chief Executive of the United
States, has propounded certain interrogatories
to the Attorney General OF the United States,
which, il answered in accordance with the
Presidents wishes will again plunge our
country into civil strife and deluge the ma
ton with blood. The following is the des-
patch referred to-
The President has just sent into the At
torney-General the following questions, and
requested that a response TO them be returned
IN writing:-
First Is the present Congress, composed
OF members from the Northern States alone,
such Congress as the Constitution requires,
or is it an illegal and unconstitutional as
semblagey
Second. Would existing circumstances
justify. the President in sending his next
annual message to an illegal and unconstitu-
tional assemblage, pretending to be the Con-
gress of the United States?
Third. Does that clause in section fifth OF
the first article of the Constitution, which
makes each House the judge of the cleo
tions, returns and qualifications of its own
members, give to the present Congress the
right to exclude the members from ten
States, or TO impose dishonorable and un-
constitutional terms upon their admissionY
Fourth. Does the Presidents s oath of office
require him to enforce those provisions of the
Constitution which give to each State an
equal right Of representation IN C0ngressi
Article 1st, section I'd, section Sd, Article
fifth, last clause.
Fifth. What steps does the Constitution
and his oath of office require the President
to tuke in order to secure the assemblage ol
a Constitutional Congressy
Upon the reply that may be made by the
Attorney General to the above, the Presi
dent there is reason to believe, has deter
mined to take his stand The questions pu
TO the Attorney are all the more important
when taken in connection with the bold ut
terances of the President at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, declaring that the present was only
ian assumed Congress" and mot the Con
gress the Constitution called for, ~ and alsC
in connection with similar declarations
though less pointed, that fell from his lip
prior TO his return TO the Capital.
From these uiterances il is clear the Exc
cutiye had fully made up his oi0H mind tina
the Thirty Congress was not lega
body. He now asks the opinion of thu
Attorney General upon the grave and deeply
momentous subject, and when it is given hi
will govern himself accordingly.
1t is not difficult to foreshadow what III,
response of Mr.. Stanberry will be, and tina
he will chime in fully with the opinions o
the Executive as already expressed, ther
seems TO be no doubt.

ANDREW JOHNSON, not satisfied with the
result of the recent elections-after having
stated his case personally to the people, and
submitted it to the decision OF their ballots
lis now inquiring OF his Attorney General
the best and easiest means of inaugurating a
bloody revolution in the country, during the
progress of which, scenes even more dread
full, wicked, and deadly than those of the
French Revolution may be enacted in every
household and street in the loyal north. Is
it not time that the people-aye the earnest,
loyal, determined people should teach this
drunken debauchee lesson OF duty that he
will not soon forget? Men of Delaware,
what say you, shall Andrew johnson he
Dictator and Tyrant, or shall the voice of the
nation be needed and respected by the man
who now holds the reins of executive power
at Washington?

lT IS SUGGESTED that the Copperhcads get
up a petition to Congress, praying for an
amendment to the Constitution which will
prevent them from intermarrying with
" niggers," under heavy penalty. They
seem terribly afraid that their sisters and
daughters will take "big buck niggcrs' to
their bosoms, hence the necessity of a re-
straining law. The Radical Congress will
no doubt thus protect the social status of the
copperheads, II they desire it.
