Conversational Policy.

From the n Y. Express, Feb. 20, 1857.
All the movements in the present
Congress are intended to subvert the
Southern States by an utter disre-
, gard Of their constitutional ri ghts,
but the end they seek is no less than
the Acknowledgement of this Union,
now and forever. To accomplish
this these States are to be utterly
disorgsnizcd and kept in state Of
anarchy, without law and civil gov
eminent, until thereby the South
shall be driven into OVER ACTS, or
instructions shall justify the further
subversions Of these States as COM
ponent parts Of this government.
Radicalism has sought to provoke
the South into some indiscreet ac-
ton. to justify to the North the ex-
clusion Of ten States from the feder-
al government for an indefinite per-
iod. Radicalism is preparing the
Northern mind for this fixed project
and exclusion from the next Presi-
Dental election, unless the great
mass of the whites are disfranchised
in these States, and they can organ
ize political victory therein, under
Star chamber proceedings and mill
tary rule. More than one year past
this complete submission of these
States was resolved upon by the
radicals, and they have been since
working through Star chamber pro-
ceedings to find pretexts to justify
their course.
In this view there is no hope that
this country will be restored to peace
and prosperity in years to come. At
least the next two years are una
voidably those of insecurity, and un,
certainty if not Of peril to this gov
crnment. Can it be that the people
of America will rush blindly after
these wild schemerS, the very Ca
sandras Of our governments ? Ger
tain it is we should seriously reflect
upon this Congressional plan to keep
the country utterly disorganized for
the sole end of Radical rule in this
country. Let business comprehend
this movement aud prepare for the
worst. There is no telling when it
will end, except it is clear tina. the
3eth Congress has kept the country
disoreanized, and there is as little
of hope from the 40th Congress,
which 1iIl assemble on the 4th of
March next.
Things cannot thus remain They
will advance. Congress will proceed
to remove the distractions in its
way--tte Executive and the Supreme
Court. That done. they will have
Ben Wade ard his Radical satraps
trampling the life out Of the South
and making the whole land reel IN
d23fi ht4difl tass Fafif ls suspAfd6S,, and
there will be no arbiter but arms. -
Such is the conflict that awaits us.
Conservative men may hesitate,
and doubt, and hope, as they did in
1861, but this conflict is inevitable,
unless we choose to surrender our
birthrights, liberty, and constitu-
tional government for the FUTURE
No Law will control and restore these
men and Conservatives who have
had faith in our Government must
prepare to see it sink down into
worse than Mexican anarchy and
disagreement, unless no make
determined stand in all these North
crn States TO PRESERVE AND DEFEND
the Constitution Of our country.
Nothing less will save US.

The condition Of the Southern
States at the pre- sent time is rather
a hopeless one. Exhausted by a
terrible war in defense of their slave
property, the failure Of which makes
them doubly poor, as they lost not
only the expenses Of carrying on the
war but their slaves also; they have
no means left for recuperation ex-
cept by industrial pursuits carried
on with patient forbearance under
the insolent tauuts of one of
most exultant foes the history of
modern times has furnished US.
No helping hand will be offered by
the victorious North, lest it be the
means Of dislodging the Abolition
party from the lucra i've Offices in
which they have couched themselves,
whilst the great struggle, at their
instigation, has been in progress;
and we may expect the best energies of
that party to be spent in legisla-
ting in such manner as to keep the
south in continual state of discord
and consequent oppression on the
ground that the best interest of the
Republican party or ofthe Aristocrats
who control it, is the best interest
Of the people. The doctrine is al
ready being promulgated by the
radical wing of the party, that it is
unsafe to trust to the masses, and
the only safety to be found is in a
perpetual congress, to keep the peo-
pie in subsection, by keeping them
in turmoil, and under the military
supervision thereby called in requis-
ition.

The Reconstruction BILL says
The Boston Post, is mockery of
liberty and every principle ofrepub-
lican government. It establishes
military despotism more obnoxious
than that Siberia feels. 1t holds
the states Of the south at the arbi-
trary will Of congress to establish or
dcmolish, as the humor of that BODY
may incline, independent of the &C.
ton Of the states. Is this fulfilling
the injunction Of the constitution to
secure each state republican form
of government, an injunction which
has been so hypocritically harped
upon by radicals who murder repub-
licans in it's own temple? Is this
enforcing the civil rights bill. the

tencc of securing equality of the
