a New Rebellion.

IN
10 involve the nation in another civil
war are rapidly accommodating Ii Ioiieu
in their scheme of preventing the restor-
alton Of the Union and confscatlng
the property of the people OF the South
ern States, they are determined to take
up arms and rebel against the govern
ment This is their settled purpose, and
they already make open threats to this
effect. They will doubtless carry their
purpose into execution, unless sterniy
and Indignantly rebuked by the voice
Of the people in the fall elections. AS
significant tokens of this design, may be
mentioned the fact that a proposition
was made by a radical members at the
last session of congress, to distribute
arms to the "loyal people OF the north
ern States" What is meant by thu
.'loya people, when sposen OF by rad
ical, is we'll understood. The PROPOSE
ton was not acted upon, but there is
good reason for believing that the rad
ical Governors have already made ar
engagements for supplying their partisans
with implements and materials of war.
A secret caucus of the Governors Of
Northern States was held at Philadelphia
during the session Of the Mulatto Con.
vention at that place, and it Is probable
that some plan of concerted action was
then and there agreed upon for resisting
by force of arms the success of the policy
of President JoHNsoN's administration.
As evidence of this, we have the fact
that Governor BRowNLow, the ribald
blasphemer from Tennessee, In speech
made In New York last Wednesday night
fresh from his conference with the rad
ical Governors (including FOREMAN, of
this State) said: HE had already applied
to a Governor Of a Northern State for ten
thousand arms, and, backed by thirty thou
Sand Boys In Blue he had no fear Of the
result, unless the Federal Government sent
doun its troops led By coppsrhead general
If such could be found" His purpose is to
resist the Federal government in its
efforts to restore peace and tranquility
To the nation. Rather than submit to
the enforcement of the constitution
and the complete restoration Of the
Union, he aud his fellow radicals are
willing to plunge tho country into
an other war, moro bloody and destruc'
tive than that through which we have
just passed. Coming direct from the
secret conclave of northern Governors at
Philadelphia, who can doubt that
BRowSLow's threat was prompted by
the discussions that there tookplace and
the plans there agreed upon!
1t is time that the people at large were
getting their eyes open to the schemes
of these men and preparing to stand by
the President in defense of the consti-
tuition and the Union, with whatever
force may be necessary, The radical
leaders are playing g desperate game
The restoration of the Union will be
death TO their political hopes They
are therefore resolved to oppose that
restoration by all the means III their
power. They will trample upon the con-
stitution aud violate the law to exclude
southern States from representation by
peacsable means as long as they can,
but when these fail, they will resort to
armed rebellion. Such, at least, are the
signs of the times. Prudent men will
not fail to give them proper heed
