o.ofsou Ahead,
The secret ooncleve Of the radical Governors
of the Northern States in Philadelphia, after tho
adjournment Of the Convention on Tuesday
last. is one Of the most significant and alarming
signs Of the times. A portion OF the proceed
inus leaked out, and the correspondent Of the
HHRALD gave the public the benefit Of that on
Wednesday last But we have the strongest
reasons for saying that the question then vent-
lated about dodging negro suffrage was not
the only or most important one discussed by
| this conclave. II is understood that revOlu-
tionary programme was entertained looking to
future political contingencies is, to pre-
mare arms and efficient armed State organixa-
t;ons for q conflict with the conservatives, and
roasibly with the President, in the event Of
The rsdcals being in danger of losing their
gower through the result Of the fall elections.
Ss IS evident that these really dangerous leaders
Of dangerous party are determined to hold
On 20 their power at all hazards; for as Cover
aor 0ony, Of Maine, said If they lose it now
shc1 q! il loat." Tbey are doubtless prepared
10 impeacb and remove The President AID 10
IN his place, and woald resist the Legitimate
powct Of the Executive ID tn extent of calling
out The militia Of Tho States. The secret aud
threatening attitude OF these Governors i3 the
counterpart Of the meeting of the Governors Of
che cebel States when hey seeded and made
war on tho Union. Ga order shat t1e people

Eleven Governors OF States, besides pS-

vention and at public meetings in Phi!adel.
pbia, might not be regarded as very serious;
but ii is far different with the secret meeting
OF body of men who have the executive
power of eleven Northern States in their hands
Tnore is danger ahead. and il betooves the
conservative masses of the North to look to it.
AS to the South, there is no danger there. The
people OF that section have experienced the
horrors OF civil war to such degree and are
80 thoroughly eubdued that they will, not try
rebellion again. The danger is at home. We
may have. before we are aware OF 1t, a bloody
civil war in every State, county aud city of tho
North. Incrcduious and cosy-going people
may pooh-pooh such an idea, but it il never
thcIcss 50. Did not tho rebellion Of the South
commence in just such way? DO not all re-
bellions, Instructions aud revolutions begin
in the same manner? Never was more violent
language used than that now used by the rad;-
Gals; never wero thcre greater efforts made TO
bring the Executive Of the republic into con-
tempt; and never was there more dangerous
aud widespread revolutionary feeling worked
up than at the present time. A flame like this !
once lighted spreads with increasing fury, and |
II is very difficult 10 arrest its progress. In |
oil seriousness, therefore. we warn the people |
to watch these threatening events. We call |
upon them to arouse themselves before 1t be |
too late TO avert the dangers that surround u.
The power Of the radicals must be uttsrly |
or we shall be plunged into revolu-
ton and anarchy.
