WHEN we obscr ve the readiness Of
the people of the North to seize upon
and cxaggeratc acts of violence done
la the South and when we mark
tiicNcst with which the leaders dwell
upon those incidents, whether real or
imaginary, whether ofrebcl or Radi-
cal origin, the question: arises, are
they willing. to owcrthrowtiie gov
eminent and substitute ~ military
lcspotism over themselves for the
paltry qualification of furnishing n
conquered people. Whether they so
intend, or not, the fact is that they
cannot continue to pour out their
venom upon the South, except
through the medium of Radical rule,
and that such rule can not be pro
longed without sacrificing the gov
eminent and with it, the liberties of
botMscctions of the country.
There are fools who entertain, and
llnaves who inculcate, the idea that
the Constitution can safely be vio-
lated so fur as the South Is concerned,
and yet be maintained, with its safe
guards, for the exclusive benefit of
the North. Relying, confidently,
upon this assumption, the course of
the conspirators is clear, that is, to
intensity the hatred of the North
against tlla. South. by fabricating
inschoods and esaggerating the most
trliling occurrences into fragrant hos
tility 10 tho government and unmis-
takcblc evidences of n speedy renewal
of the war. Not only the crcdulity,
but the fears of the masses are inSc-
tiously worked upon, and those who
do not believe the lies manufactured
to, ccthr, are frightened out of then
wits, hy' the solemn announcement
that Forrest, with 10000 men, Is
about to make n raid upon the Capt.
toI, if not upon Boston, itself. That
thousands "tremblc in their boots
on hearing this startling rdrort,. is
obvious from the hourly repotitiono
II and the agonized cry of distre-.
coming up, from the press, the pulpit
frv4sti
who is devil Of II fellow, when his
"back is up" they ought, through
policy aud self-rcspcct, to restrain
their frantic manifestations of alarm
and assume an air of bravery and
heroic indit!ercne'caleulated to avert
the anticipated catastrophe. Such I
dlgnificd department d, cs not
however, meet the Virws of thOs,
who too vel knew that wher
ina lightly, credulity, cowardice anC
avaricc are brought into aetiv,
play, the victims of these hast
passions become the rcady-made tool
of the artful conspirators, and thu
Radicalism maintains its hold upoi
those who are committing politica
suicide, under the impression tina
they are only cutting the Threats q
the rebels. Forrest Is the trump care
in the Radical game of revolution
and il is Il little.humiliating that tn
man of the Commercial who is play
ing him, is not convicted felon, onl,
because he is fugitive from justice
1t may he we'll, then, If tho city q

grcssmen, with instructions "a a.sso'

event, to march his army beyond In
