A New Revelation and War Insugurstsd


I'm Boston-The Jaeobins at Work.


The leading apostles of the radical disunion
agitating factions of the North have just had Q
pow-wow in Faneuil Hall, Boston, and have
appointed q committee to insugurate another
revolution. This gathering marks another step
in the scheme set in motion by Chief Justice
Chase just before his departure for the rice fields
of the South. II develops more fully their plan
Of action, and enables US to see more clearly
the intent and purpose Of these Northern
traitors. Long before President Johnson had
announced his policy Of reconstruction, the
radicals, under the lead Of Chase and Sumner,


commenced crusade in favor Of universal
negro suffrage, and endeavored to stir up
spirit Of insubordination among the emanci-
pated slaves Of the South. As the practical
and constitutional plans of the President for
the reorganization of tho Southern States were


developed step by step, these Northern dis


unionists grew bolder and bolder. The fanati-


cal clergymen began their agitation from the


pulpit. Wendell Phillips, the high priest Of the
late abolitionists, threatened repudiation; and


the Tribune followed with the declaration that


the negroes would be disloyal if they were not


allowed to vote. Thus the scheme progressed


until, finally, Governor Andrew, falling to Sc


cure position in Mr.. Johnson's Cabinet, out


Of spite, united with the radical conspirators in


opposition to the President, and called meet
ing in Faneuil Hall to perfect the revolutionary


programme and take the initiatory steps for a
social war.


This gathering assembled in Boston on We'd
nesday, and was addressed by such agitators
as Theophilus Parsons, Henry Ward Beecher,
R. II. Dana and Senator Pomeroy. If there


was any doubt as to the disorganizing and revo-
lutionary intention Of Chief Justice Chase's
letter to his Western friends, or in his speech


to the freedmen of Charleston-any uncertain


ties as to the meaning of Senator Summers


advice to the North Carolina negroes, in the
threats of reputation by Wendell Phillips or
disloyalty by the Ifib,me-those doubts and
uncertainties are removed by the temper Of the
meeting and character Of the utterances in
Faneuil Hall. This makes the chain of evidence


complete, and fastens upon the radicals of the
North disunion programme as dangerous to
the country as the late Southern rebellion. II
convicts the radical leaders of an attempt to
inaugurate war between races upon the heels
of our late civil war. 1t conclusively proves
determination to incite social or negro war,
and thus distract and disorganize the country,
as well as materially delay its recovery from
the effects of the monster Southern rebellion.
The public are, however, thankful that the
radical disorganizers have thus early announced
forearmed. The administration now under
stands their purposes, and can proceed ac-
csrdingly. Nor is it probable that the people
will sit idly by and permit the same class of
Puritauical agitators who inaugurated the cru
sade against the institution of slavery, and thus
long and bloody war, 70 incite another insur-
rection. They will not be inclined to see these
men, Pharisee like, glory in their selfrighteous-
ness, and incite social war, after the enormous
sacrifice Of life and expenditure Of treasure in
the suppression Of the rebellion, which had It's
llrst inception in the anti-slavery agitation Of
this same go. of men. Nor need they for
moment imagine that the country will stand
another war brought on by the same set of
men who stirred up aud melted the other. II
will be well for them to bear this in mind at
the outset.


But 1t appears that these Jacobins grow elo-
quent in behalf Of negro voting. One gentle
man declared that the government should hold
the Southern States in military possession and
give the negro the right TO vote by military au-
thority, thus overriding both law and constitu-
ton. Another argued that the 'war is not over
yet, and that the whole country to-day is in the
attitude and state of war" Grant that such is
the case. Let us concede that the country is
in state ofwar, and that we are subject to mill
tary rule, as these Jacobins claim. What, then,
themselves before the country! If we are in a
state of war so much the more necessity Of the
Presidents marking out line of policy on
which to conduct the nation to an early peace.
If the country is in an attitude Of war the Pre-
sident is the commander-in-chief and those
who oppose his announced policy and attempt
to defeat or Illustrate it give aid and comfort
to the enemy, and are as much traitors as those
who take up arms against the government.
These Jacobins are, therefore, convicted out Of
their own mouths, and are fully as amenable,
TO their own reasoning, as were the
Northern secessionists, who, in every way in
their power, aided and abetted the rebels In
arms. This being the case, the duty Of Presi-
dent Johnson is plain. He has no other ulti-
matum but to arrest the whole party engaged
In uttering disloyal sentiments in the Faneuil
Hall meeting for stirring up and melting in
They were, by their own showing,
melting mutiny among the emancipatcd slaves,
and trying to secure the united hostility of the
colored race to our military authorities. They
are thus attempting to bring another element
