last wc.k We noticed the boiling of the New York
Herald frdn tie prlsidcnt's ranks and this week
have to notice hc !cscrtion Of political wealth

stand tbasnc hisiacces,Cu to the presidents policy
lie has lost over aif Of his subscribers hence his de-
sertion to the enemy. We could mention many
lesser lights going 10 prove the extreme radicalsm of
great raajor.ty e the northern people Admitting
that our silrai3es Gre true, what will be the ultimate
result? That sterling paper the National Intaigencer

If we may form: an opinion Of the course Of the
present radical ma. Gritty III congress- upon their meet
ing here In December, from public manifestations, like
tie rcccn. auGacions one Of senator Wade and Civ
inCs out in Erlvatci then attempt at impeachment
Of the president, Il the rump congress is forcgone
conclusion.
deferred rom pursuing their purposes by any regard
to the conse=uelEcs, we would be increduouS to
this outrage b*ing attempted. But all history shows
that a party Ind4r the influence Of funaticism once
embarked on thc IoyaSe OF revolution, never pauses
of its owa n9tioH
The Erglts revolution in which Charles / lost his
head and ir sbicg the entire frame Of the govern
! Inent was ovCrturied nsructs to what may be
expected Of aradira party in possession Of power
So party e5 under tie influence of religious terror,
but even more hutnanitaran by the horrors it com
miled il the Tench revolution, admonishes Of the
vast per:Is which lie under captivating sentiments.
Liberty, cGnalitys aud fraternity the sublime
t words under ;jhic, France grew drunk with crime.
In England: Cromwell, Of the most remarkable
men in history rescued his country from the madness
Of anati@sn: IL France, it required the great genius
of Napoleon restore society to its natural condition
In the Unised States party dangerous, if not
truly brave Jas the Roundhcads il England and the
Jacobins in Fsancb, is midway its triumphal
u career.
What is to: be @he finale of this party? If they re
ceive tic impress Of the public sanction, and left
to their owl: philosophy, can they stop short OF the
0 most fatal re:ultsI
We see nc: difference between that party and those
parties which, in ihe name Of liberty, brought Great
Britain and Eranqc near to the brink Of ruin.
Such is tho fora of government aud such is its
spirit more potrut than its form, that there is no
Z place for th3 ore man power. A heroic executive
NAV as president, Johnson is now doing throw him
self into the breach and temporarily arrest the pro
gress of the 5eyo4uon but this delay is only tenn
porarv The question goes to the people for their de-
cson. IF tEey decide against the executive, under
such circumstances, the revolution resumes its march
with increased power aid velocity. Foreign will
at once sprG4 into existence and to home affairs
we have a fearful foreshadowng in late speech Of
the newspaper representative Of the reroiutionists
We quote frjrn speech Of John W Forney, at Lack
. awanna, Pennsylvania, Saturday:
If the southern people do not raffy this negro
euualisation Amendment or if they defeat it, wha
b then? tbik see by the glitter Of Your eyes, and
