MEETING OF THE GovERNORs-Is
THERE NOT REVOLUTION HEADs

THERE NOA AhAsh JILL AAON AHEAD.
From the New York Herald.l
The secret conclave of the Radical Gov
errors Of the Northern States in Philadel
phia, after the adjournment Of the COnven- I
ton on Tuesday last, is one Of the most
significant and alarming signs Of the times.
A portion Of the proceedings leaked out, and
the correspondent Of the Herald gave the
public the benefit Of that on Wednesday last.
But we have the strongest reasons for saying
that the question then ventilated about
lodging negro suffrage was not the only or
most important one discussed by this con-
clave. 1t is understood that revolutionary
programme was entertained looking to flu
ture political contingencies-tha is, to pre-
pare arms and sufficient armed State organ
iZations for a conflict with Conservatives,
and possibly with the President, in the event
of the Radicals being in danger of losing
their power through the result Of the fall
elections.
1t is evident that these really dangerous
leaders of dangerous party are determined
to hold on to their power at all hazards;
for, as Gov. CoNY, of Maine, said, if they
lose it now, then all is lost" They are
doubtless prepared to impeach and remove
the President, and to place BEN. WADE, or
some other violent Jacobin, in his place,
and would resist the legitimate power Of the
Executive 10 the extent of calling out the
militia of the States. The secret and threat
ening attitude of these Governments is the
counterpart of the meeting of the Governors
of the rebel States when they seeded and
made war on the Union. In order that the
people may know who these conspirators
against the Union are, we give their names.
They are as follows:
Governor CURTIN, of Pennsylvania.
Ex-Governor BUCKINGHAM, of Conneeti-
cut.
Governor CoNY, of Maine.
Governor YATES, of Illinois.
Governor MORTON, of Indiana.
Governor MARSHALL, of Minnesota.
Governor HAwLEY, Of Connecticut.
Governor SMYTH, Of New Hampshire.
Lieutenant-G Governor BRoss, Of Illinois.
Governor FAIRCHLD, of Wisconsin.
Ex-Governor OLDEN, of New Jersey.
Ex-Governor DUTToN, of Connecticut
Ex-Governor NEWELL, of New Jersey.
Governor CRAPo, of Michigan.
Governor GARDINER, of Vermont.
| Ex-Governor ANDREW, of Massachusetts
Ex-Governor CLAFLIN, of Massachusetts.
Ex-Lieutenant-Governor, AvERILL, Of
! Connecticut.
Governor BURNSIDE, of Rhode Island.
Ex-Governor DOUGLASS of Connecticut.
Eleven Governors of States, besides ex-
Governors and Lieutenant-Govern COM
posed this new secret Jacobin club. The
violent declarations of the miserable fire.
! brands male and female, black and white
in the Convention, and at public meetings in
| Philadelphia, might not be regarded as very
serious; but it is far different with the secret
meeting of body of men who have the ex-
ecutive power of eleven Northern States in
their hands.
There is danger ahead, and it behooves
the conservative masses of the North to
look to it. AS to the South, there is no
danger there The people of that section
! have experienced the horrors of civil war
to such degree, and are SO thoroughly
subdued, that they will not try rebellion
again. The danger is at home. We may
have, before we are aware Of it, bloody
civil war in every State, county and city Of
the North Incredulous and easy-going
people may poOh-pooh such an idea, but it
is nevertheless so. Did not the rebellion Of
the South commence in Just such war? Do
not all rebellions, instructions and revolu-
| tions begin in the same manner? Never
was more violent language used than that
now used by the Radicals; never were there
greater efforts made to bring the Executive
of the republic into contempt; and never
was there a more dangerous and widespread
revolutionary feeling worked up than at
the present time A flame like this once
lighted spreads with increasing fury, and
it is very difficult TO arrest its progress. In
all seriousness, therefore, we warn the people
to watch these threatening events. We call
upon them TO arouse themselves before it be
too late to avert the dangers that surround
us. The power of the Radicals must be
utterly destroyed, or we shall be plunged
into revolution and anarchy.
