Another War Threatened.

We make the following extract from the
Baltimore Gazette. The times are sadly
out of joint" We apprehend, unless the
Congress should act promptly and firmly,
our troubles will increase, and we may be
involved in another civi. war. We shall
look closely into public movements, whether
the result of secret conclaves or open meet
ingS, and keep our readers fully posted in
relation to them. We advise our Union
friends to organize themselves in every neigh
borhood as rapidly as possible and to be
prepared for any emergency that may arise.

The Practical Overthrow of the Govern
ment-Progress of Radicalism--A Gem
eral Democratic Convention called for.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-In the course of
these letters have frequently asserted the
inability of Congress, as at present constitu-
ted, to adopt by the required vote those mea
surcs necessary to practical overthrow of
the Government, namely: The displacement
the President, the corruption or abolish
mcnt of the Supreme Court, and the suhmis-
sion of the Southern country to the rule of
the negro population, in conjunction with
the few itinerant political mountebanks,
who infest that unfortunate portion OF the
United States. l have now no doubt of the
entire correctness of these assertions. The diff
ticuty in the accomplishment Of the unholy
entIs of the revolutiOnists has been, and still
is. in the Senate But it need he no longer
disguised that very shortly this impeachment
will have been removed. This, in short, is

to see the intuition OF means tWUy adequate to
c0neunaauate their aefariOus purposes. 1t is as
certain as any future event can be that unless
derisire measures stall be tuken to aTvHse tie
entire country to its imminent danger, the
"Ides of March, will witness the total sub
version of the substance and the very forms
of this Government.
1t is in full view of the transcendent i'm
portance of this great emergency that many
consultations have been recently had in this
CITY by distinguished gentlemen from all
parts of the country, and the universal SEN
timent is entertained that if constitutional
liberty is to he preserved in this land, no
time is to be lost in assembling true repre-
sentatives Of the two millions of voters who
recorded their s,,ffrages on the side of the
Constitution at the late elections. i'll solemn
council there to make known that the inta-
nous purpose to deprive the people of their
liberties will not be Increasingly Submitted
to. 1t is high time, in the opinion of wise
and cautious heads, that the magnitude ofthe
present peril should be markedly set forth, in !
order that the people may fully comprehend |
tile awful precipice to which the Radical lead
ers have been, step by step, conducting them.
l we'll know that the country is in such 4 |
frenzied condition that words of warning like |
these have nearly. if not quite, lost signifi-
canoe, to say nothing of their influence They
are not, however, my words, but those of the
ablest most prudent, and purcst men the na-
