The New Civil War.

The address adopted by the Philadelphia Conven-
ton consists of the bulk of Andrew johnson
speeches, DOOlittles haranguos and Raymond's edi-
torisls during the past six months terminating with
the following threat
The time is close at hand when members of a
new Congress are TO be elected. If that Congress
are to perpetuate this policy, and by excluding low
81 States and peopls from representation in its halls
shall continue the usurpaton by which the legisla-
tive powers OF the Government are now exercised
common prudence compes us TO anticipate
augmented discontentment; a sullen withdrawal
from the duties and obligations of the Federal Gov
ernmenti internal dissension and a general coils
sion Of sentiments and pretensons lchch MAJ res,r
IN still more fearful shape tie cirl lcaT from ,eLcb
ace hare Just emerged
The people of the Northwest are in no mood to
be bulhed by Andrew johnson, or his Copperhead
Convention. They are in less favorable temper
TO be approached with threat of civil war, than
they ever were before. They know the stuff that
the Philadelphia Convention were composed Of
They met one half of it at Gettysburg and the other
half at the Chicago Convention. They whipped
both and they only regret that they die not finish

A Conservative HUmbUg,

The only American who was allowed within the
Austrian lines, and at Gen. Benedeks headquarters,
was the late Copperhead candidate for President,
Young Napoleon" alias the grave digger of the
Chickahominy alias Gen. George B. Mcclellan
The Austrian General appears to have followed
Little Macs" advice and employed against the
Prussans the same system of strategy that McClel-
Ian adopted in his brilliant Peninsular campaign
against Lee to capture Richmond. When we heard
that our "Young Napoleon" had joined Benedek's
headquarters and was in consultation with the Aus
trian commander all doubts in our mind ceased as
to the result of the impending campaign, and we
felt confident that the contest with the Prussians
could terminate only in disaster. Like causes pro.

Ii his speech before the Soldiers Greary Club, at

In his speech before the Soldiers Greary Club, at
Harrisburg, Pa, Gov Hamilton, of Texas, said:
The President promised TO be the Moses Ct the
negro but it seems he did not get so far as his name
sake He did not lead his negro friends quite to the
Land of Canaan. We have the intelligence to-day
that the Union men in New Orleans have been
murdered like dogs in kennel, under the direction
of Mayor who fought in the Rebel army when
Farragut was in New Orleans Bay Oh, that we
had Ben Butler in New Orleans now! Cheers.
There was no law to prevent Resembling of the
Union Convention, and yet they we're indicted by
the Grand Jury for meeting. What harm can
the Convention do? Does it propose to take away
the rights of any man Are they to be allowed I'M
der the dctation of the President TO be murdered in
cold blood
He talks of usurpation. Has he ever thought of
how much Of that is done at the White House He
telegraphs not to the Governor of Louisiana, but
TO an inferior officer. He talks he has talked to
all who have visited him, and none but rebels now
call upon him. He gives an inferior officer the con-
troll of the armies of the United States. His pre-
decessor Lincoln, who was q far better man than
johnson was ever supposed TO be, had recognized
this very Convention. l beg to know how long the
people of Pennsylvania would submit to the action
of the President if he should set aside your Cover
nor and submit the of the State TO an inferior
State officer.
The Union men of the South who have been
crushed TO the earth ever since the war closed by
the operation of President Johnsons policy will yet
hold him to fearful account for his perfdy. There
are plenty of Governor Hamiltons in every South
ern State who will in due time make themselves
known and felt.
