The silence which has come over radicalism is
occasionally broken by an outburst of the old
spirit of evil. The Cincinnati Union, a German
Abolition sheet, says:


"From reliable source we receive the news that GER
tain high and influential German officers of the Army of
assist with their troopSin an ant-slayery coup dea;
indeed, Of them has declared that Union and Liberty
can be preserved only by such det, and by the
temporary Dictatorship of radical anti slavery man."


The tone OF this suggestion is more important
than the statement given, on which we place no
reliance. 1t is the same tone in which the New
York Times proposed to suDersede Mr.. Lincoln
awhile ago. and in which it now from day to day
publishes silly articles demanding vengeance on
political opponents. and recommending all sorts
of violent proceedings. IL is the same tone
which other papers of this class assume, encour-
aging the spirit Of radicalism, melting mobs by
their violent abuse of lOyal men, invenfing
phrases of Obloquy, exhausting the resources of
bad minds for expressions to suit the tone of
their excited feelings The Liberator leads the
brotherhood. and the New Y ork radical sheets
follow humbly and admiringly in the track.


This is one of the most dangerous symptoms
of the day IL requires the exertion of every
conservative man to preserve the public peace
and quiet the passions which these foolish and
reckless politicians endtavoring TO excite.
The disloyaty which from time to time exhibits



indicates the rrepressible nature of the bad radi-
csd spirit It is not the country they desire to
save, but it is vengeance against political oppo-
nents that they seek, and TO accomplish this they
are not content with the exercise of military or
other arbitrary power, but thes desire TO inaugur
ate a one man power to be controlled by them;
selves and welded for their purposes of violence
and revenge Let all patriots set their faces
sternly against these enemies Of the public peace.

PARsoN BR0WNLOw AT TIE ACADEMY.
The Academy OF Music was crowded
last evening as il never was before, TO
listen to Parson Brownlow. There was
not a spare inch Of room left for sitting
or standing space in any part of the
building, the stage included, which could
not have been less than two hundred
persons packed on H. Since its founda-
tion, the Academy Of Music has had no
such audience in point Of numbers.


Parson Brownlow is a man of national
reputation, aud with bis style of speak
ing, and manner Of treating subjects, the
public are familiar, II there was any
disappointment on the part of the large
audience with reference 10 him, on this
occasion, we are inclined 10 think il was
an agreeable disappointment While
probably there were some sentiments ex-
pressed more extreme than The whole au-
dience would subscribe 10, aud some ex-
pressions little more vigorous than fas-
tidious ears might have been pleased
with, there was, we apprehend from
what the public nad been led 10 believe
Of the Parson, much less Of both than was
anticipated.


His speech, an hour and half In du-
ration--was vigorous throughout--an i'm
passioned but clear argument against
/ and denunciation Of the rebellion, aud
an equally warm and vigorous sup
port and defence Of the Union and
its cause Apparently no speech or lee
ture Of the course more closely enlisted
the attention Of the audience, or evoked
more frequent applause than this-a fact
10 be ascribed, We presume, 10 the sub
ject as well as 10 the manRer In which Il
was treated. The large audience We
are sure, left the hall with their loyalty
strengthened, their patriotism warmed
and their determination 10 conquer in
ccreased as the effect Of this appeal

The butternut emblem is just as much
treasonable emblem, as is the secession
flag. and all intelligent people so uudsf-
stand it. But there are great many ig-
norant persons who are encouraged by
party leaders to wear it, because they are
falsely told that it is simply democratic
emblem. Ignorant people. who are not
intending thereby to evince disloyalty. do
sometimes wear il. not meaning any harm
by il. In such cases it ought net to be
taken as an insult to the country. and in
such cases the wcarer ought not to be
charged with cisloyalty. In any case. if
a man or a women wants to wear a butter
nut We are quite willing that they shall
show their own dishonor, the world will
know them. and their grand children even
will blush with shame on account of
them. 1t will not be forgotten for hun
dred years. In the war Of 1912 the
British party in this country put on the

that can be uttered against him. In years

it will be dishonor.

But we orbear at present to comment fully upon ths
natural consequences Of such change OF front at this

action of the world at large in respect to our internal
dissensions.


The domestic aspects Of the radical pronunciamento
more Immediately demand our attention. 1t invites US
directly to contemplate for the Union without
the Constitution. This is not the war which the
America people have undertaken. It is not the war
for which they have poured out blood and treasure like
water; it is not the war to which their hearts and
hopes are this day pledged.


The old war had an aim which rose beyond the mere
blind fury of arms and could be fought to the possible
result of settlement in which, rights being respected
law could be restored The new war implies alter,
native result beyond the extermpation OF oAe party

results have been reachd? And is Mr. Stevens pre-
pairing the way in Congress for those propositions of
peace which the Tribune has of late been SO earnestly
agitating in the press
