viotcd because ho is guilty, for every man,
woman and child who knows anything at all,
knows that he is entirely innocent Of either
high crimes Or nisdemeanors. It will be
done simply because the revolutionary plan
Of the Radical leaders makes it necessary
that he be thrust aside and MI. Wade put
in his place. To fail in doing this would be
taptamount to an entire failure in their plans,
and want Of success At this stage Of the
business would be death to them and their
party. We believe thre is moral certainty
that Ben Wade will be the occupant Of the
White House inside Of sixty days. .'.''l =
It is pertinent to inquire what then p:
What will come after Wade? We will tell
our readers what will come, to pass then.
When Wade becomes the President, BY the
overthrow Of the Constitutional Executive,
he means to enjoy all the privileges Of Pres;
ident., He will BE- commando er-ih-chief Of
the army and navy-he will nuke appoint
mcnts to, and removals from Office, and will
discharge all, and singular the rights and
duties that the Constitution devolves upon
the President. All acts Of Congress that
obstruct or hinder his full enjoyment
Of the Executive prerogatives will be wiped
from the statute books instanter. In the
first place the acts which makes It necessary
for all orders Of the President, to The army,
to pass through General Grant, viii be re-
pealed, for the Radicals have no confidence
in Grant, aud with tho law out Of the way
the army can be manipulated at pleasure -
Next, the Tenure-of. Office law will be re.
pealed, and there will be general turning
out of Office of all men who are not in favor
Of the Revolutionary platform. This will
giAe wade the benefit Of all she official inau-
ence in the country to carry out tho edicts
Of Congress. Then they will complete
their reconstruction Of the Supreme Court,
so as to reduce it to condition "of harmo-
ny" with Congress and the Executive. =
The number Of Judges will be 50 increased
as to make it largely Radical, or else its
powers will be 30 emasculoted aud crippled
that it will not be able to render decision
adverse to the wish Of the Radical majority
With the Supreme Court fixed up, all the
departments Of tho government will be a
much under their CONTROL as though they
had natural right to them. They will NOT
hesitate to use all their power to perpetuate
their dynasty. ar .t.s! ..di 40 o., .-qg
We have often remarked in, our columns,
that the Radicals have struck for Empire
in this country, and We arc still Of this
opinion. To attain it, they will use al the
means that unblushing impudence and
love Of tyranical power may suggest. Their
object is to elect the next President at al
hazards, and they will not scruple at the
means. They do not intend the people
shall have fair ballot if they can prevent
it, and they viii take the proper means tc
prevent it. They know that they stand in
danger of loosing the vote Of the majority
| Of the Northern States unless the ballot i.
given to the negroes. The measure is nov
before Congress, and we expect to sec il
pass before the adjournment. This bill en-
franchises the negroes in all the States where
they do not already vote, and they hopt
| thereby to secure New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio, and other States. Reforc the pres
ent session Of Congress adjourns, test oatl
bill will be passed, in some shape or other
which will exclude from voting enough
Democrats to give the Radicals o majorit.
in all the close districts. This will enable
them to carry every State and gain two
thirds majorityin Congress. :. Our friend
must not argue that the Radicals will no
dare to do such outrageous things, they vii
be afraid and aN that. They dare do any
thing that becomes necessary to secure then
in power, and which is proved by the his
tory of tho past fsix years. None Of tn
acts 1 have specified as likely to DO done b
them in the future arc more nlonstrous thai
what they have already done. What s.
outrageous, and in such clear violation o
the Constitution as the establishment Q
military despotism in ten States 2 Il will b
no greater stretch Of power to disfranchis
a few hundred thousand Democrats in th'
North, than to do the same thing in tn
South and enfranchisc nearly million Q

Some one may ask whether the pcopl
will stand all this? Stand it? Yes, and NOR
too. They have stood worse things an
why not this The Radicals will obtain pei
maneut power by it, and We cannot expec
them to offer any resistance, while bth
