The Radicals Beginning the War upon the
Irn.inPnI.

lfCstueUl'
The Washington correspondent OF the I'm
ritu.ttt Gy-.Hr, who seems to be-, and doubtless
is. IN rhn confidence Of the Radical majority
in Congress gives hint or two in his last let
ter Of III" feelings with which the CONVERSE
lion between the President and Senator DIXON
j. regarded by them, aud intImates pretty
strongly that they intend TO weed their own
row" He says:
Whether this was Il second attempt 10 ralse
the banner OF the new parry, the country VII
judge Senator Olson knew nothing OF the
Publication. or even OF uu intention 10 publIsh
II. The conversation was taken down with
ont his knowledge. and sent TO the press by
the special direction Of I'll" President. inns
alone gives II any significance.
The new party alluded to Is the one
which il j. proposed to form out Of the con
srryatlyr elements Of tn" Republican party
and the great body Of The Democratic party.
This proposition alarm, the Radicals. They
already. in Imagination, see the flesh pots OF
Egypt slipping Grgm their grasp. The Go>,tts'S
correspondent is very sever" upon this new
combination. Hear him
This now party scheme is til" old fight
over again. in nearly all OF its aspects, and
every Northern man who Is lending himself "
IL j. either dupr or a fool. None others would
BIZ" 1T So bare Il hook. To call all men radical
who are but carrying out ana securing the
Iahurs ul the army in the field, ana all national
who are 50 conducting themselves as TO secure
the applause Of al who opposed that army,
North and South, is thought by some 4 clever
way of settling the mighty questions Of the
day
The Democrats, Of course, are all ucw party
men, and that of itself Is enough 10 keep MI
lOy1l men out OF IT, The others are those who
cannot rule in tn" party as u now -, and who
hop" 10 receive III another the reward Of their
>uh>erNIuuuN.'
But II seems that il has leaked out thar Pre-
sidout JoHHsaS takes As "rXtreme ground
as RAYMOND, OF any other man OF the proposed
new party. We quote again
At the time that Mr.. Raymond SPOKE, 1t
vas not known whether til" extreme ground
H.. took In regard 10 the rebel States being III
tho IuIou was an echo Of the Presidents pre-
sent sentiment. But has appeared since that
Mr.. johnson has expressed hlmsclias follows D.:
not only consider The rebel States as in the
Union. but more III the Union than ever before,
hncuus" now their laws are more republican
than they ever were,
OF course the couducto Of the President excites
the ire of tins correspondent. If the Demo
Gratis only were concerned in such n scheme il
would be a matter Of small moment, but then,
II wears another aspect when MIR JOHNSON,
with the whole weight OF executive influence
and patronage, turns Il friendly eye upon the
new party. Listen to the heartfelt denuncia-
lions Of such ngrattudc.
" II would seem rs If the Investigations OF
the war had brought 10 light everything that
could he desired in tho form of plots for the
overthrow OF the Government, but none OF
them have been darker than the attempt 10
create party, which, rs If in mockcry, is
styled national. aud 10 bptray the country into
its power. The men who are moving on the
surface now are the puppets put forward by
the able iutrlgucrs who are the managers OF
the scheme Mr.. Raymond may esteem him
self as pawn advanced one square. Every
day indications are coming to light here which
show that the topperheads and the late rebel
leader, are the movers in the matter, though
with 4 cunning worthy Of their cause they
put their dupcs and willing tools forward to
do their work. There is no atom Of patriotism
in the movement. II is rs hostile 10 the pcrma-
hence or the Government rs the schemes OF
Davis, aud Floyd, and EaEcey, were. 1t looks
to n final and complete regaiHing OF the politi-
cal power Of the South 1t even looks beyond
this, 10 a time when this power Will become SO
great Is 10 admit of taking vengeance upon the
North for the defeat of the war
