means and process 10y which this

The virtual abolition of tho 81.
prcmc Court of tho Unitcd States,
by stripping the judiciary Of the
power to pass upon the constitu.
tionality of any act Of Congress re.

business Of the government.
The extension of the term Of Of
fico of the President, Grant, the
Vice President, Wade, and the pres
cnt United States Senate to ten years
from the 1st of March, 1869, on the
plea that constant recurring
change in the government is harm
full in the existing condition Of the
country and WAS one of the main
causes of the late war Of the rebel
lion.
Tho unlimited imitation of the
currency, through the instrumcn.
tality of the national banks, so as
to throw upon the Try an cnor
nous amount Of paper money, by
means of which the people arc to
be kept in state Of excitement and
good humor, and to be amused and
made satisfied with an apparent
prosperity.
This is the end and aim of the
Radical conspiracy, to which i'm
only one of the pre-
liminary steps. The dictatorship Of
Grant will be nominal only, and the
real power will be in the Senate,
with Ben Wade at its head. The
made by him during
his brief term of power will be
carefully selected from the tools of
he conspirators, and tho patronage
md influence of the office elders
will stand at the back of the revo-
utionary commune. Grant will
lot have the power, if he had the
disposition, to change single fca-
,ure in the programmc--a single
,reature in the action of the drama
for the Senate will hold him in a
ice stronger than that they have
prepared 4, for Andrew Johnson.
