WEDNESDAY. JULY Is, 1866.
The Republican Caucus.

We appropriate much Of our space this
morning to the remarkable sayings and
doings Of the Radical Caucus last week in
Washington city. A more violent and revo-
lutionary party than the Radicals arc shown
to be, never disturbed the peace nor i'm
paired the welfare of nation. Passionate
and reckless as these men were known TO
be, the developments Of this caucus VIII
DC read with amazcmcnt.
This caucus is, for its rancor ana Vitu-
pcration Of the Chief Magistrate oil the
nation, without parallel in the history OF inc
United States. How is it possible that inc
Union can have peace under the rule OF
>uch mens If they triumph, the South
will be returned TO the condition OF con-
oucred people, with no rights, and bearing
,he bur,hcus of q government in which
thew will have no participation. Indeed,
there can be no union while they hold
sway. The loyal people who desire to
save the country must stand by the Presi-
dent, who is our friend because he is the
friend Of the Constitution and the equality
of the States in the Government. All
loval and conservative men should support
him in this day and hour Of danger.

The Convention Of Southern Radicals.

The Convention of Southern Radicals.
The Alexandria Journal Of Saturday
says:
1--WE are authorized to announce that
the Union State Committee Of Virginia
has taken the necessary official action for
sending delegates TO the Convention Of
Southern Loyalists, to meet in Philadelphia
on the first Monday of September next.
"The committee is now engaged making
up the list, which We hope to have the
pleasure of announcing to the public early
next week. The gentlemen named as dele
gates will each receive special notice OF
appointment by mail"
BY all means let the Alexandria Terrific
rializcrs fix up a list of delegates. They
are the men for such dirty work. Well
knowing that the people of this State
despisc them as contemplate factionists,
they have no reason to fear that they can
sink to lower depth Of infamy. We are
glad to see that Governor PElRpoINr did
not sign the call for this Convention, and
We would fain hope that he does not APP
prove of it. With many personal qualities
that sit badly upon man plotting against
the best interests of his own people, the
Governor still allows himself to be classcd
among the Radicals. Let him consult his
heart, and not his prejudiceS, and he will
cut loose from Radicalism.

Mr.. Baldwin and MIR. Bolts.

The following letter from Mr.. BALDWIN
will, We suppose, be the last in regard to
the matters in dispute between these two
gentlemen. We have already expressed
the opinion that it is simply matter OIL
necessity that Mr.. BALDwIS's statement
should be credited by tho public, for II
would have been impossible for man cir
cumstanced as he was at the time to have
kent TO himself such a fact as that Mr..
LINCOLN had offered to surrender Fort
Sumter. If Mr.. BALDWIN had been en-
powered to make such an offer to the Viz
giuia Convention, he could have prevented
the war, established his own party upon an
imprcgnable foundation, destroyed the Sc
cession Democracy, made himself the fore
most man in Virginia, if not in the Union,
and acquired an enduring fame. And he,
one of the eblest and most sagacious OF
men, certainly had sense enough to know it.
We were ourselves guilty of an act of
Injustice to Mr.. BALDWIN in not stating,
when We published Mr.. BoTrs's letter, that
Mr.. BALDWIN had nothing TO do with the
account which We gave last winter Of his
evidence before the Reconstruction Com
mittee. We avail ourselves Of the present
occasion to repair the wrong:
LETTER FROM HON. JOHN b. BALw1N.
To The Editors Of The Richmond Dispatch:
The absurd importance which Mr.. John
VI. Bolts pretends to attribute to the ill.,
teryiew between Mr.. Lincoln and myself
on the ith OF April, 1851, does not, in my
opinion, justify me in worrying the public
with newspaper controversy i'll relation
TO matter which possesses no real public
interest, and which, have no doubt, has
been agitatcd for the mere qualification OF
personal malignity.
Nv testimony before the Reconstruction
Committee, and my statement since pub
lishcd, contain all know, and all desire
10 say in relation To the interview with Mr..
Lincoln, and the visit TO the house Of Mr..
Bolts in company with Mr.. John +. Lewis.
The pamphlet published by me for cir
culaton among my friends contains, i'll adj
dtion, all the evidence deem necessary
IN support of what have stated.
Whatever OF characterI have established
among my fellow-mcn is fully pledged for
the truth and fairness of the account ]
have given of what occurred on each of
the occasions referred to, and which, in
view Of all that has since been published,
see no occasion to modify in any respect
whatever. JOHN b. BALDWIN.
