The Extremists and the Chicago Convsn-
tiOu.

From the New York Times Rep.). May l2.l
Mr.. Forney communicates to the Phil
adelphia Press, as an understood thing,
"that no Republican who opposes the
conviction of Andrew johnson will be
allowed seat in the Republican Con-
vention at Chicago" In other words,
the Republican who doubts the expedi-
ency of impeachment, or denies the suf-
ficiency of the testimony adduced as the
groundwork of Mr.. Johnson's removal,
is to be read out of the party.
We have had signs on this subject be-
fore. The unblushing avowal that con-
viction is party necessity, whether war.
ranted by law and evidence or not, and
the persistent endeavor to bully Senators
into conviction by holding up "infamy
as the penalty of acquittal, have clearly
revealed the recklessness and tyranny
which aspire to the control ofthe Republi-
can party. The disposition has been grow
ing some time. Formerly it was enough
that men subscribed to the declared policy
of the party and worked according to
the best of their judgment for the at
tainment of its end. More recently,
other tests of fealty have been invented.
Adhesion to regularly organized plat
forms has been declared insufficient, and
a mans republicsnism has been sus-
pected and denied unless, he hurrahed
for every member which Radical mem
bers of the party introduced into Con-
gress. 1t has become necessary to swear
by Stevens and pin ones faith to the
sleeve of Boutwell, or Butler to escape
accommodation as hereto and trai'
tor.
In pursuance of the same intolerant
plan. it is intended, Mr. Forney declares,
to exalt impeachment into the party test
of orthodoxy Before obtaining ad-
mission to the Chicago Convention, dele
gates must hold up their right hands and
VOW that they favored Johnson's decapi-
tation, with evidence or without it, in
conformity with law or in spite of it. We
are not prepared to believe that so impu-
dent a pretension will be tolerated for an
instant. But the fact that it is talked of
in certain circles in Washington, indi-
Gates the readiness of extremists to en-
ploy extraordinary means to obtain con-
troll of the Convention.
They are not alone in the work. Wen
dell Phillips has given notice that the
convention will berequired to engraft ne
gro suffrage upon the platform of the
party; and the German Radicals make no
secret of their purpose to press their views
upon the convention. Both the Phillips
faction and the Missouri Germans pro-
claim an intention not to accept the nom
ination of Grant apart from thoroughly
Radical platform; and both will go to
Chicago prepared to coalesce with other
extremists for the promotion of the COM
mon object. The aim in all the cases is
to reconstruct the Republican party after
the Radical model, and to the tactics Of
the campaign with a view to Radical
supremacy. The work will not be easy;
it is more likely to fail than to succeed;
but it should not therefore be despised.

Dragooning the Senate.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Journal indicates possibility
that the dragooning policy adopted by so
many of the extreme Radical journals
may affect injuriously the prospects OF
Impeachment He says:
while Mr. Wade has done all in his
power to secure harmonious action, some
Of his self-constituted friends have done
him and the impeachment much harm.
They have cracked their whips in news
papers; they have endeavored to dragoon
veteran statesmen; they have insinuated,
and slandered, aud lied until they have
engendered ill-feeling-if they have not
provoked hostility. Other causes, to
which | may allude hereafter, have con-
tributed to sour and disgust several of
the Republican Senators; but, taking
everything into consideration, l am yet
of the opinion that the President will be
found guilty and deposed.
1t would be strange indeed if the bull
lying policy which has been so freely re-
sorted to, did not have the effect feared
from it. Men who have spent the best
part OF their lives in the public service,
and who have won universal respect by
the uprightuess Of their conduct and the
patriotism OF their labors, can scarcely
feel hatsered By such Wholesale asper-
sions as have Been lavishly heaped upon
them-and BY such menaces as have
been addressed to them = during
the impeachment trial. The tone of
the Tribune, the. Washington Chron-
iele, and kindred journals, toward
them, has been that Of masters toward
slaves. Every indication on their part
Of a purpose to act upon their own judg-
meuis, even in tie smallest incidents Of
the trial, has been treated as deliberste
treachery; and Senators who have been
