us with many words Of warming as to
the designs of the radicals end their
future policy. Their assaults on the
President, and their bitter denuncia-
tion of him as TRAITOR 'tyrant,
&c, is accounted for by the New York
World rs intended to fire the popu-
lar heart and prepare the way for
forcible election of the President
from his Office IF this detestable'
faction carry the elections this fall,
On impeachment will follow a.; soon
as they can settle among themselves
the grounds of proceedings. \ New
York delegate to the Philadelphia
Mongrel Convention, who shares. the
feelings but not the cunning OF his
party, offered tho following rcsolu-
tion:
''Resolce1, That in view of the
probable impeachment of high
officer of the United States Govern
mena, it would be exceedingly i'm
proper, unconstitutional and danger
Gus. to have twenty members of the
Senate designated, in effect, by the
President of the United States
The World says that this resolution
was not passed, only because the
leaders of the party are too crafty to
alarm the country by so formal an
avowal of their intentions. But all
their diatribes, and the whole spirit
they manifest, show that they are
preparing and expecting another civil
war.
The Republicans of tho State of
New York held q convention at Syra-
cuse, last week. At this convention,
Mr.. Tremainc, its presiding officer,
made speech, in which he used the
following language:
From the Presidents haste to de-
nounce the Louisiana Convention as
an Illegal assembly, although it was
not held Ill violation of any law,
cannot doubt that he will prevent
any election or meeting of the Presi-
DENTAL electors which Shall be prohi
bited by Act of Congress. II. con
trary to my assumption, President
johnson shall refuse to perform this
plain duty, l assume, further, that
other constitutional means will be
employed to execute the laws. Again,
1 assume that any attempt by the
South to tramplc such law undo,
foot would unite the North, and that
the South, standing alone, would MOI
obtain that majority which would bt
wanted as Il prctcXt for taking pos
session of the Government, and il
either of these cases the scheme
would fail; and as to a second rebel
hon, why, if these gentlemen are no
satisfied with their experience in til,
first, let them try the second. Yes
let them try it. At the first tap o
tho drum, an army, composed O.
veteran troops capable of overcoming
all opposition, would come to the
rescue, and, adopting the President.
opinion that traitors must be punish
cd, soldiers would proceed to punisl
them. And, l assume further, tha
this time it would be effectnally don,
done without the intervention O
President or Congress, court, Jury o.
military commission. We tende
these people the olive branch, but i
they will not have it SO, they cal
have the sword"
This is pretty plain language, ant
intimates, beyond a doubt, that i
successful, the radicals will oust tn,
President, ahould he refuse to com,
into their policy, by recognizing til,
electoral votes Of the South, and thu.
give them title to admission to Con
gress.
And again: Senator Yates, of Hi
nois, in speech at Philadelphia, i:
reported as follows:
Governor Yates commenced by
declaring his amazement that the ac
cidcntal successor of the great ant
good Lincoln should have turned
traitor to the high principles OF
which he had been elected, and be
trayed the loyal millions WHO ha6
conft rred upon him such q high anG
distinguished honor. He would ap
ply to President johnson tho Ian
guage of an amiable illinois Judge te
q man who had been convicted before
him of murder. MIR Smith, it is
