WiIIey's Wisdom q.

West Virginia Wiley, back-slldden
Soutbron, recently offered in the Unite d
States Senate, of which he is accidental
" a member, resolution restoring the
Southern States to the Union whenever
and as they adopt Thad. Stevens's con.
stitutional amendment. This renegade,
be it remembered, was member OF the
Convention of Virginia which adopted
the ordinance Of secession. The day that
the ordinance was adopted, Wiley met
the writer heref upon the street, and
said TO him, "Wcil, | am going to my
home now, and shall try to make good
our action of today, but i apprehend
that shall have terrible fight over 1T.
And when I have raised and equipped
nv own company as shall at once do,
and am about H. be overpowered by the
enemy. will you come out and help met"
"Certainly WILL" was the response.
Aud then this thing added: Goodbye,
now go to st,'te, and perhaps death =;
but it shall nevcr be said that l turned
nv back upon AID desertedmy old moth
er in her hour OF distress and suffering.
Such was the ariitude and language of
Waitman T. Wiley, Senator from West
Virginia iu 1861 Norfolk Trginian.
"Iha writer hereof" also saw MI
Wiley few DAYS after the date above
mentioned MI Willey told him that he
was going home tor the purpose OF organ
ling the people of Monongalia into
home guards to protect themselves from
incursiops amt left the distinct impress
sion upou the minds of all who heard
the conyersatidn, that he intended to
sink OF swim th, his State. And the
declaration wa. consistent with his pre-
vious utteranec-; for in the Convention
itself he had u.,de speech III which he
opposed secessi-n, on the ground that II
the ordinance should be adopted he
would be q tral.ur to his State if he did
not attempt to oake it good.--Dispatch

From the New York Times, Rep)J
The Caucus and the Cabinet.

The recent caucus has revealed de-
gree of radical recklessness for which,
we fancy, the country has been unpre
pared. Restrained they are in some
measure by tie better sense of other
members; but Of their readiness to resort
to extreme measures to annoy, and if
possible weaken the President, and TO
carry cut the ends to which they are
pledged. there can no longer he the
slightest doubt Their ends are reyolUl.
tionary, aud they are, as faction, not
unwilling to employ revolutionary
means. The extraordinary resolution
which has been forced through the
House under the pressure the previous
question-as alluded to in these col
umNs yesierday-admits OF no misinter
probation. 1t contemplates as a not inn
probable contingency, armed resistance
To the constitutional authority Of the
Executive; i'm other words, another civil
war to be gotten mp by radicals, to en-
force their doctrine Of Southern snbju

T-;ainp ,yi,h che Judiciary.

The House of Representatives,, tne
other day, gave another evidence Of tne
discrimination of the Radical majority
to rule or ruin. When Mr.. Lincoln was ,
elected President, the Supreme Court, 81 :
the United States consisted OF one cniels
Justice and eight Associate Justices IN
order to get one Of their kidney upon
the bench the. majority in Congress NJ
creased the number of Associate Jns-
tees to nine. Since Mr.. johnson TOOK
the Presidential chair one Of the JpstllesF'
Mr., Catron of Tennessee, died, ana Ino
President in due time nominated as hi'
Successor Judge Stanbery, OF onlo, wy
gentleman now called to succeed AUD
new General Speed. The Senate re1use 81
10 confirm his appointment, ana plii
w. introduced to put the number OF
% Tnst;ces back to eight, solely for tile
Du of preventing the President
from having the appointment Of an in
cumbent to the vacancy. Lately, under
the gag of the previous question, the
House improved upon the bill SO as TO
prevent the President from filing future
vacancies, by passing an act which pro.
vdes chat NO vacancy in the office OF
Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court
shall be filled by appointment until the
number of Associate Justices is reduce d
to six"-it being calculated that not
more than two vacancies will be Hkeiy
to occur during the balance OF President
Johnson's term. Then, il the Radicals
can elect his successor and hold a major
ity in Congress, they can put the mum,
Der back to nine again and give the ne "
Presi lent the appointment of three rat
icals. Such is the trifling of these mis-
cradle partisaus and fanatics with the
Judicial Department of the Govern
ment.
Can it be that the people will approve
such folly and such revolutionary action
when they come to act in the Congress
sional elections? The dominant party
have already secSionalized the Supreme
| Court. Nine of the ten Judges upon the
bench are from the Northern States-bat

The Language OF revolution.
Thstestimony of BaAIR and RAYMoNl

The testimony or BLINK ahu IVA "o4ND'
with regard to theseditious purposes OF
the Radicals, is fully corrOborated by
tbestyle of their language in their pri-
vate, councils. The violent, infammato-
~ speeches delivered at the recent Radl-
cal caucus in Washington are well suited
tothe deliberations of excited consplra-
tors. Referring to the President MI,
.HoroHKIss, of New York, talked ABOUT
"a licensed head butcher" Mr.. Farms
worth, of Illinois, believed that the
President was traitor to the party anu
the country" Mr., GARFIELD "ind0rsea ail
that had been said about the treacherS

Massachusetts, said he believed AN
DREW JOHNSON to be just as much a 'iai

nnuded. Mr.. INGERsoLL, of Illinois, De
nounced President JOHNSON as traitor
in league with rebels and copperheads."
LANE. of indiana, proposed to hold the
next session of Congress at the bayonet's
point and wildly threatened to, over
throw "the tyranny of the President
with a million of soldiers. Such Ian
guage as this betrays the phrsnzy of the
revolutionist too clearly to be- mistaken.
It reminds us very forclbly of the early
days of secession, and suggests the in
temperate utterances which fired the
Southern heart" and "precipitated the
cotton States into revolution" VIM
A. YANcEY never expressed himself Wild
more bitterness when melting his coun-
trymen to revolt against the authority
of the Government. Every Southern
leader, seeking to infame his followers,
smoke of LINCOLN with the same rancor
and the same violence that mark the
Radical utterances relative to JOHNSON
LINCOLN was denounced as q usurper
and a tyrant; JoHNsoN's despotlsm Is
threatened to be met by bayonets and
overcome by an army. LINCOLN, it was
claimed, would transfer the Government
20 the Northern Abohtionists; JOHNSON
it is now asserted. will soon install the
Southern rebels u the Capitol. A teign-
ed alarm for the safety of State rights
was the Justification for the last rebel
lion: to preserve the authority of Con

intemperauce of speech, the same proph
ecies of evil, the same affected fear OF

be added that the Northern faoatics art
pursuing the same course over which
Southern zealots lead their misguided
followers to ruin and disgrace.
