by his own party precedents, from arg

that score. The organization which as

hurting this boomerangof Presidential su'

the cratic weapon speeds back to It's

MIR. s. remarks: =" Being myself earnest
" and decidedly in favor Of the Amend
ment by the States, I cannot 60 into al
organization that would either'openly
oppose that measure or that would
smother it by avoiding its discussion"
So far as West Virginia is concerned,
the friends of JOHNSON, who will be
represented in that body, will be unit
in denouncing the curse-laden iniquity.
The only avoiding of discussion in this
State is and will be upon the other side.
The Attorney General certainly did mot
compare notes with his coadjutators here
or he never would have opened on them so
severely by denouncing an organization
which would not place the Amendment
"fairly and squarely before the people. "
Upon thislvery point he and some of our
Radicals take issue. That they, like
himself, favor it, no one doubts, but that
they, unlike him, fear to declare them
selves, every one familiar with the facts
is well assured The only salvation of
Radical place-holders here, if not of the
party itself, depends upon the very reti-
cence he censures. The first discussion
in which they engage may cost an off
cial head, and when decapitation COM
mences, down goes the party whose sus-
tenance is plumber and whose life execu.

Speed, the Parting Guess.

~ That "illustrious defunct," the late
Attorney General, took occasion, just be-
fore his political demise, to unburden
his griefs and air his rhetoric in a
turgid epistle to Senator DooLITTLE, rela-
tive to the Convention at Philadelphia.
After stating that while approving
many of the principles set forth in the
call, he does not approve the call itself,"
Mr.. SPEED pronounces a swelling
eulogy upon the devotion, " sacri'
fees" "pnseltish patriotism, " faith.
doctrines and exertions' OF what la
styles the National Union Party"
Any one who has listened to Radical

WE clip the following article from the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle. RAYMoND's letter,
to which il refers is too lengthy for
publication to-day. 1t will be seen, how
ever, that the revolutionary spirit which
marks the party here is but a reflex of
the seditious proclivities of Radicalism
in high places.
RADICAL REVOLUTIONARY iPLoT-MR.
RAYMOND TURNS STATES EVIDENCE.
Mr.. Raymond, Editor of the New York
Times and Member of Congress, whose
position in his party is still sufficiently
good to secure him admission into the
secret conclaves OF the Radicals, occupies
the editorial columns of his paper this
morning with letter from Washington,
in which he untolds the schemes of the
Radicals TO precipitate the country into
another civil war, while at the same
time making the extraordinary dis
closure that the Radicals are already
providing arms for the conflict they are
laboring to bring about. We quote:
You may have noticed the passage in
the House, few days since, of a resolu-
ton offered by Gen. Paine. of Wiscon-
sin. calling on the States to organize, dis

TRENTON. n. j., April 3.-Tbls morning
the resolution TO go into joint meeting with
the house of assembly, to elect an United
States senator again came up in the senate.
Senator Scoville addressed the senate at
length. declaring that he could not surrender
his position without dishonor and that he
would adhere to it to the end.
A vote to 60 into joint meetings was then
taken and lost BY vote of ten to nine. Two
senators were absent who would have voted
against the resolution. When the vote was
announced there were Misses in the lobby and
the greatest excitement prevailed.
Senator Scoville. in his speech, was partic.
ularly severe upon Mr. Cattell and Mr.. Rob

fourished and grown rich upon the suffrage
of the people in the recent civil war. He Of
fered to vote for any man who entertained
