would suggest the impeachment of the Presi-'
dent if he did not know that the suggestion
was a welcome response to the wishes of the
radical throngs who surround him. Those
who think that q great party is led by menlike
Butler and Brownlow, greatly mistake the
nature of party opinion and the springs Of
party action, The truth is, that the radicals
are determined to preserve their poverty
force if necessary -and are resolved to carry
their doctrines of government to their logical
consequences
i AS long ago as the meeting of the Philadel-
! phia convention this temper exhibited itself,
and it was conspicuously manifested during
the late tour of the President.
i During the session of the Philadelphia con
vention the Press of that city attempted in
the most fragrant manner to excite mob vio-
lence against the members. Its editor, john
4 ", Forney, addressed crowds Of radicals from
his office window, and in the course of one of
his speeches made the following appeal to his
/ parisans;
We have submitted for the last two days to un-
exsmpled outrage aud insult without responding
by the violence which disgraced the pro.slayery
, r1ffians and the johnson murderers at Memphis
/ and New Orleans. (Cheers.) We have seen
Men--bloody y-handed murderers-plotting IN the
city of American independence for the purpose OF
. restoring themselves to more power than they
possessed before they began this heayen-ohending
trebellion, and we have submitted with, and Will
g submit toit
9 If at that time the radicals had been
. brought up, as they now are, to pitch Of un-
y reasoning and relentless fury, q bloody riot
6 would have been the sequence OF this incen-
, diary language. Subsequently, the same
/ orator became even more emphatic in his
y declarations Of a purpose to inaugurate civil
b war; In q speech delivered at Lock Haven,
9 Pa, on the 18th Of September, he said:
Y The army that will 90 to the Southern country
viii 70 there to stay; it will not be army OF in
:, vasiGn, but an army Of migration it WILL net 50
p there to revenge but to extirpate. Brownlow's
. remedy will indeed be tried; there will be three
columns-the one to kill, the second TO burn, the
! third to divide the plantations among the men that
1t 80 down tile second time to avenge the insuited
y nag of our country see this sublime resolve in
the glitter Of your eyes, and feel it in the thrOb-
, bing of my heart-l feel it eyerywhere-t hear il
e in the trumpet voice of destiny. That we shall
4 not prevail against these men is to expect that
= God is dead.
Z But these vindictiYe and sacrilegious words
q were only the expression Of a tendency which
as yet, found no tangible point Of develop
|
rs the passions of the radicals so much infarned
le that the smallest occasion may at any mo
" 1nent provoke an outbreak of the revolution
~ any spirit. The Baltimore controversy seemed
le to furnish tbs needed opportunity. Forne.
70 was. not slow to avail himself of it.
Z In an editorial letter to the Philadelphia
y Press, dated October 18th, he thus incites rio
and bloodshedin Baltimore, and invokes th'
p people Of Pennsylvania to begin at onct
ls another civil war
y, Swami wants to be United States Senator. Bal

81 it out to the bitter end. All the Union men il
ae Baltimore swear that they will drench the streets

v the law. The brave General Dennson and the
AZ gallant General Woolley have both offered then
services to the mayor, and the returned veterans
4e of the Union army are ready to fight. SWanr

= In an editorial article in the Washington
) Chronicle Of the 18th, there appeared, double
leaded the following atrocious declaration O
ii the intention to resort to open riot to main
!. tain the ill-gotten power Of the radica
!. minority in Baltimore. Abiding to the re
i moval of the police commissioners by Gov
h Swami, it says
Il Should he decide upon this outrage, the polio
= commissioners, backed by Mayor Chapman am
~ the radical loyaiists of the State will refuse tt
Il surrender their trusts.
We do not believe that either Swami or John
son will have the hardihood to perfect this crown
ing outrage though the indications that point t
itare numerous. But should this belief be disap
!, pointed by the result, there will be but on
u remedy left and that is for the Maryland patriot
he to appeal to the peopeo of the North to keep ope
no the gateway to the capital of the republic. The
responded to a similar call in 1861 and will no
ne be backward in 1866. The feeling in Baltimor
eW yesterday was intense. Inc TaulchlS We're It'll

of the field, and intend to keep it at all hazards
~ Recent intelligence says that the DANCE

Y. sweryed from his position. He intends
remove the commissioners, and if the radiea!
= Of Baltimore and Pennsylvania attempt I
~ resist his lawful authority, he will call on tn
y President for the assistance in suppressin
q insurrection which the Constitution guaral
d tees. 1t remains to be seen now whether
"a not the radicals will use this means of inal
