MORE CIVIL WAR WANTED.

geston Of the New York "World, V tho leading
Democratic journal of the country, that the
present National Legislature should be put
down by force, ms "Rump Congress, y entitled
to no respect or tolerance. The same purpose
is moro boldly expressed by writer in the
constitutional Uniuu," the ADLER OF the two
Democratic journals now published in Wash
ington, who thus states his propositions
81 again repeat that Il counsel no violence
nor do wish to see the second advent of Crom-
we'll of England, or Napoleon of France, prac-
tised upon the radical destructionists in this
Congress; but 'rhai has been may be, and 'oiH
be again if President johnson is thwarted in
his good intentions. The President must be
sustained"
This proposal is cordially welcomed and re.
echoed by the Macon Telegraph, one OF the
principal journals Of Georgia.
The rebels of that region are evidently ready
for renewal of the war in which they have
just had such bad luck, provided they can now
be certain of that aid from the Coppcrhcads of
the North, which was promised them in 1860
6l, but not given when most wanted. Their
spirit may be understood from the following
extract from the Telegraph:
"The ballot.box is too slow process rs
remedy for existing grievances. Let the Presi.
dent pm dopn the rebellion in Congress, and
appeal TO The Jaliot.Jor TO sustain that. Ho is
rs much in duty bound to do it there as any.
whero else, aud unless the Northern people are
greatly msrepresented, he will bO triumphant
ly sustained by his countrymen OF both Sec
tions. As was stated some days ago in the
House, tho course of the Radicals is purely u
party trick to keep themselves in power, and
they should not be allowed to dissolve the I'm
ion for any such wicked purpose. The South
had far better pretext when 1t resolved on
separation. We prefer peaceabc means; but
these failing, the President should issue his
proclamation declaring the Union fully restored,
and inviting the Southern members OF Congress
to enter the Capitol and take their seats. II
refused admittancc, a regiment Of United STATES
troops should be sent TO put the Southern mem
Jcrs in their places"
The same idea animatcs tho souls of those
Virginia rebels who follow tho lead of the prin
ciple Democratic organ of Richmond. We
quote from the Examiner Of Thursday last:
"The Satanic puddlcr of the national foun.
dry grins as he sees tho sparks fly of from the
mass of metal that he is manipulating with
dcvilish glcc in his fiery furnace. lIc knows
that they will fall cold and lfclcss, mere fakes
Of inert iron. But, Mr.. Stevens, God helping
us, we do not intend to pass through your roll.

These rebels and projectors Of civil war,
whether in Now York, Washington, Virginia,
or Georgia. had better remember that the pco
pie of the United States arc in serious earnest,
and that the schemes they propose will find de-
termined resistance on tho part of a power
which they have lately had occasion to ac-
knowledge. They ought also to understand by
this time that President johnson is not trail
tor, and cannot be made the tool of traitors.
Those who hope to see him attacking Congress
aud overthrowing the Constitution, cherish cx-
pcctarions as unjust and insulting toward him
as they arc groundlcss and futile.-Chica2o Re
