A RADICAL THREAT.

One of the ablest of the writer's for the
Northern press, is George Wilkes, and
his access to the interior circles of the
extremists, affords him the opportunity
of knowing their temper and purposes.
In the number of Spirit Of the Times
of w ednesday of last week, after enume-
rating the several acts of the President
10 opposition to the dominant party, and
charging him with having deserted his
colors. he adds
" Mr.. johnson having thus politically
changed front, it must not be supposed
be will remain idle at the head Of his
new army On the contrary, it must be
expected that he will advance in his cam
paign, at the irst favorable opportunity /;
and we suppose that opportunity will
come when Congress shall have adjourn
ed, and when Texas shall have elected
Representatives under her new constitu-
ton.
"It is supposed that the President
will avail himself Of the latter event to
officially proclaim that peace is restored
throughout the land and that following
it up, he will then formally summon the
Representatives and Senators of all the
States. to meet at Washington, in extra
session. The present majority Of the
two houses, which will then be in q
minority, will of course dispute the right
of the Representatives and Senators o.
the eleven unadmitted States to meet
with them in council; whereupop. 1t Is
expected, that the President will reeog-
nize the new majority as the true Con
gress Of the United States. and assign 70
them the official cham ers of the Capitol
:. The, then minority. deprived OF a
President, deprived too of their statutory
forums and even of Presidential recog-
milton, will perfOrce be driven to con-
yene apart in some unofficial place.
Assuming, nevertheless, still to be the
true and only Congress, and as such to
have majority enough, within itself to be
independent Of the Presidential veto OF

Tail Foremost---A Fable.

Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, has
been in public life for moro than genera
ton. With his unsparing sternness, his
unparalleled self-con6dence, bis uncon-
scionable persistency, and his uncqualled
tact, he was yet, throughout that long
and restless period, unable to ge. the
lead of anything general or national.
Mr.. Clay could not recommend him, and
his bosom is known to have ranked for
twenty years for the slight. He belonged
to class never content where they can
be useful, yet incompetent for every
station to which they aspire. AS chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee,
he bad opportunity to employ his Pc
cuIiar talents in forcing upon tractable
but intelligent Legislature a measure 50
ridiculous as law to prevent men betting
on the news---a law repealed, however
by one of the first acts Of Congress OF i's
next meeting. We refer, of course, 70
the famous statute against gold specuia-
ton, as it was called.
Fables seldom apply acearately, pc
cause circumstances rarely0Ier occasions
sufficiently extraordinery. But the cir
cumstances of our Arnes seemed during
the war to reveres the normal course of
everything what should lead, followed,
and yice re,sa. The leadership Of Thad
deus Sterens was eminently characteristic
of Tins in which the national course of
everything was reversed. Since bis ac-
csssion to the distinction Of a leader, the
disastrous consequences are well ilinstrat-
ed by Plutarch's celebrated fable:
"The tail one day quarrelled with the head,
complaining because it was always behind
and instead of being forced to follow always,
it insisted on taking the lead in its turn. Ac-
cordingly, the tail undertook the charge !;
and as il moves forward at all adventure,
deaf and blind, through thorps, brambles and
briers, it tore and lacerated itself in terrible
and shocking manner. The head and the
other members which were thus obliged, con-
trary 10 nature, TO follow a guide that could
neither see nor hear, had likewise TO suffer a
share of its misfortunes."
1t will be observed that the sequel Is
not given. Probably Plutarch thought

SPRING.

The maiden Spring is coming,
With her gifts of power and beam,
And the earth, tho locked in slumber,
Stirreth family in her dream.
But the birds have heard her footsteps
See the robin wooes his bride,
And she listens, slyly glancing,
With her dainty head aside.
The waters CLINT and sparkle,
And with mirth are dimpled DER,
As they mock, with tinkling laughter,
AT the icy chains they wore.
Reaching up to clasp the sunlight,
Tender spires of green and gold.
With their tiny taper fingers
Put aside the garden mould.
All the lilac boughs are beaded
With their golden budded gems,
And the willows, with shy leaflets,
Curling close above their stems.
Rosy Tipped the budding peaches,
From their russell hoods look out,
Pouting saucily for kisses
From each breeze that roves about.
While the nun-like valley lily,
Seems to shrink from all the world,
Folding her pale hands together
Round her rosary of pearl.
In the wood the moss is greener,
There is balm upon the air,
Softer falls the sun and shadow,
There is promise everywhere.
Nature seems to start and listen.
And TO wait, with lifted eyes,
For the coming steps that bring her
Brighter robes and bluer skies.

approval, it will go on with its legisla-
ton, and endeavor to establish its au-
thority under the auspices Of the Supreme
Court. Here will be two separate,
distinct, and rival governmental in opera
ton; not divided between the sections,
as was projected by the overthrown re-
bellion, but angrily confronting one
another, within the narrow circle Of the
Capitol.
That such a state Of things must
necessarily result in war, no reasonable
man can doubt and that such a war
would discharge its fury solely within
the North, is obvious, from the materials
of which the opposing sides would be
composed. The South would be unit
for "a Northern march. to sustain the
programme which promises to resign the
country to his hands, while the North,
casting off all business and personal con-
Germs would address itself, en- mdssc, to
arms. X X X a. X
We have no hesitation in saying
that we believe the President apart from
his design to promote his own reelection
is actuated by sincere and patriotic
motives 10 the course which he has taken;
but we do not think that, in his present
temper, he has reflected fully on the
dreadful consequences which . headiong
pursuit of his present contest against
Congress may precipitate.
" Life itself, and all the great events
of life, are but series of compromises T;
and no President will be justified by
posterity, for promoting bloody conflict
among the people. because unwilling to
concede any part of his opinions to a
large majority of their lawfulrepresenta-
tives-certainly not by the posterity Of
this country. where the principle of the
majority has a universal sanction.
I'VE hope, therefore, that President
johnson may find some way to reason
ably assimilate his policy with that of
the present majority of Congress, some
way, by which the rights of the South
may be amply guaranteed and the wishes
of the moderate North conceded to. And
we hope thatthis adjustment may be early.
" BUTT no adjustment shall be made,
and the President, ignoring Congress,
shall press on the issue which zee hare
foreshadomed. zee give him acarniag that
the mushets which no,o hang in honored
ease in every household north Of The
Potomac, may soon be lurricdly unslung,
and a murn.,tr PAST throughout The land
,ehich may break into The roar ofbdttte
before this gear has closed"
We beg our readers to understand
that these are not the rawlings of crazy
fanatic, but the deliberate utterances of
representative man. 1t only shows
that the Radicals arc ready to resort to
any means, to war aud revolution if
necessary, to maintain their political
power, and that not even the verdict of
the people against them will induce them
to forego their clutch upon Office. We
look upon the country as being in greater
peril than ever, and the source from
which we have to arprehcnd danger is
from Northern rebellion, more formi-
dable than that which for four years con-
vulsed the nation. Bull Transcript,

B AMALGAMATfoN AS SEEN IN THB DANCE,
HALLS or BosToN.-The local Of tho
Boston Post, in describing the dance
halls Of that city, paints vivid pictures
Of vice. Here is his account Of one no
entered. There were many others like
It. but we select this as specimen -
!" Passing into the dance hall, we found
quite COMPANY present tripping the
light fantastic toe to she music Of a
piano-forte with violin accompaniment.
This hall is about sixty feet deep, and ID.
fitted up with considerable taste. Tho
walls are hung with pictures, real and
fancy, and to give patriotic case to
the whole, the names Of all tho FRESH
dents and the names of the Hincipal
battles in which Observation-Disclosures
regiments have served, are printed in
gold, and relieve the samenes of tho
dingy walls. But tho scene ltre pre-
sented by those participating in tho
" social dance" is not only nqel, but
disgusting. Young. good looking white
girls and negroes, black IS lamp black,
mingle and commingle 10 the dance,
and embrace each other with seenfng
tenderness of spirit. TIL, tall, athletic
specimen of the genuine African, with
great gusto and enthusiasm, whirls tho
young white woman in tie may dance.
and at the signal to promenade for
drinks, escorts her TO ths bar and treats
her to lumber of spruse beer and some
peanuts. This scene is revolving IN the
extreme TO one accustomed TO respectable
society, but it is practiaed here, in the
mixed eompany, neasle eyery ni9ht IN
