Soldiers Convention at Pittsburg. Soon at
ter a Radical call was issued for a Soldiers
Convention at Cleveland, to endorse the pro
ceedings of Congress.
The Radicals appear to lack originality il
the prosecutions of their campaign. and tosde
pend upon the Administration leaders fo
their scGe.
j It is a. season of Conventions. They ar.
the prevailing rage, as the cholera, the Prince
of Wales, the Japanese, and other nusances
had their show days: but these Soldiers
Conventions are an innovation. They are
something new under the sun The s. F
| Flag a Radical organ, thinks they mean
WAR or rather thatthe Convention in the in
terest of the President means WAR. By the
same course Of reasoning we presume the
| aFlag" would be safe in admitting that the
other Soldiers Convention also means ar
on behalf of Congress. The alag says:
The aspect of the times is threatening every
augury foretells the coming onsof storms. From
the reported movements of military men under
the Immediate influence of the Administration, it
| appears but too plainly. that the bold, bad man
who reached his present eminence through the
intervention of Democratic Assassination, is con.
ltempating coup d etGt for absolute dictatorship
| 1t is stated that a number of army officers. who
| favor Johnson's schemes, have called Soldiers
| Convention at Chicago, for the purpose Of en-
endorsing the Philadelphia Convention and
although no military name greater than Steed
mans is mentioned. it is not wise to underestimate
tae forces of Administrative influence. In add
ton, the Presidential charlatan, .irnposter and
traitor, has announced sort of royal procession
throughout the country, for the recovery of his
lost popularity and in order that he may relate in
person and detail the Wilmington Cat-story of
his wonderful progression from Plebeian bovhood
to the exalted condition of the most consurnate
Presidential scoundrel that ever infested the
United States Capitol. Should he find himself
strong enough to control the military forces and
possess the national ornaments, we may expect
to hear of this bawlng demagogne at the door of
the Senate, with one hand steadying his inflamed
anatomy by holding On to the door post. the other
pointing with uncertain aim to rows of horizontal
bayonets and grotesquely stamping on the thresh-
hold, in fancied imitation of Cromwell, when the
Protector dissolved the British Parliament
During the Administration of Lincoln the,
HFlag" held it to be treason to speak disres-
pectfpHy Of, the President. The above spec
linen of yituperation, would indicate that
some one has changed his mind and procured
new dictionary. 49,. -
Whatever may be the hidden meaning of
these calls to the late military power of the
country to strengthen the nerves Of political
parties, it is far from impossible that within
the coming year this difficulty may require
bayOaets and lead. Theright Of representa-
ton in America required these articles once

excursion Of the President through the west

more placable, or less disposed to use every
power within bis legitimate reach to carry

has sworn to protect and defend the Consti- |
