THE RADICALS . IN CONGRESS.
STARTLING DISCLOSURES!
LETTER FROM H. J. RAYMOND.
We publish in full the editorial let
ter of Hon. Henry J. Raymond, editor
of the New York Times, and a member
of Congress from that city. Let those
who hake doubted the charges we have
made against the Radical majority in
Congress read it carefully, and then
reflect as to the correctness of the
course pursued by the Globe :
WASHINGTON, July 16.
Political panics aro quite as mischie
vous in their way as panics in an army.
Parties are demoralized,and.sometimes
routed, by die apprehension of dan
gers that prove to have been wholly
imaginary. .Sometimes, too, these
fears create tbo dangers they dread,
and thus fulfill their own predictions.
The Union party in Congress is just
now experiencing a panic of more than
usual severity, and its action, under
the circumstances, does more credit to
its zeal than to its discretion.
You may have noticed the passage
in the House, a few days Since, of a
resolution offered by General Paine.,
of Wisconsin, calling on the States to
organize, discipline, and equip their
militia, and directing that two-thirds
of the arms, ordnance, and ammuni
tion, now under custody of the general
government, be distributed among the
loyal States—the distribution among
the loyal States to take place immedi
ately, and that among the States late
ly in rebellion to be postponed until
further Orders. The resolution came
up from the Committee on Military af
fairs, and was pushed to a vote with
out debate or delay, under the previous
question. It attracted as little atten
tion in Congress as it has in the coun
try; and the public will doubtless re
ceive with incredulity the assurance
that it was intended, by those who se
cured its passage, as the first step to
wards preparation for another civil
war. Although no debate was, had
upon it, members wore urged to vote
for it by direct conversational appeals
on the floor on the part of the few
who were privy to its introduction.—
Some were told that it was necessary
to enable the southern loyalists to pro
tect themselves; others, • that it was
simply a matter of detail in the War
Department; others, that the arms
must be taken out of the hands of the
President, and others, that it was pro
posed at the instance of the Secretary
of War. An appeal was made by Mr.
KassOn, of lowa, to allow debate upon
it, as it seemed to be a matter of im
portance—but this was refused.
Most of the leading and reflecting
radicals in Congress take this view of
the political future. If the fall elec
tions result in the choice of northern
Democrats enough to constitute, when
added to the members from the sou
thern States, a majority of the House,
they assume that this majority, thus
constituted, will claim to be tho Con
gress, and will act accordingly, and
that they will be recognized by the
President as the body to which he will
send his message, and whose sessions
ho will, if the necessity should arise,
protect by military force. They as
sert, on the other hand, that the Union
members from the loyal States, if they
constitute a majority from those States
will claim to bo the only legal Con
gress, and will, if necessary, invoke an
insurrection of the people to maintain
them in that position. They do not
in the least conceal their purposes, in
the event of such is collision, to appeal
to forcoond to - "drive the rival Con
gress, with the President and his Cab
inet and supporters,into the Potomac,"
to use the language of one of the ablest
and most sincere of their number. If
you will recall the remarks of Mr.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, in last
week's first caucus; you will see this
movement clearly foreshadowed—in
deed avowed. Ho declared his belief
that an issue of force was rapidly ap
proaching, and that wo must be pre
pared to meet it. Ho acts, and all
who co-operate with him in tiese mea
sures profess to act, under the appre
hension that the President intends to
resort to force; that ho means to dis
perse the present Congress on its reas
sembling in December, if it refuses to
admit the southern members, and Mr.
Varnswerth ascribed to Mr. Seward
the declaration that this Congress
should never reassemble unless the
southern members were admitted, in
support of this belief. I need scarcely
say that Mr. Seward never made any
remark of the kied, nor that the pro
ject ascribed to the President is purely
an invention, or at best the crazy
dream of a political nightmare. But
in either case it servos the same per
pose. It covers, and is held - to justify,
the determination to arouse the North,
and for a resort to force upon the as•
sembling of the Fortieth Congress in
extra or regular session ; and this de
terMination is avowed. And the res
olution to which I have referred, for
an organization of the militia and a
distribution of aroma in the northern
States, is the initial step to its execu
tion.

I do not propose to comment upon
the result of such a movement. It is
obvious that if any such contingency
should arise, the war would not be sec
tional, as was the last; it would be a
war of political parties and of neigh
borhoods. Not only have the groat
I3ody of the Union party in Congress
DO sympathy with these views and
purposes, but they arc in the main ig
norant and incredulous of their exist
ence. That the extreme Radicals en
tertain them, however, there is not the
slightest doubt, and wo know, from
the experience of secession in 1861

plungo a great party or a nation into
war.
The Philadelphill Convention iS ano
ther source of panic to the Union par.
ty. By the Radicals of whom Limy()
spoken it is regarded as intended to
pave the way for bringing norOorn
Democrats and southern rebels ' into
close concert of action under the ;pro
tection of the Presidonc, at the opening.
of the next Congress, for tho purpose
referred to above. And by nearly the
whole Union party as represented hero
it is believed that its object is to break
up the Union organization and form a
new party, which shall embrace Nor
! thorn Democrats, Southern rebels, and
such portions of tho Union party as
may ho detached from the old organi•
zation. It seems to be overlooked
that the convention is called simply
for consultation; that it is not proposed
to make nominations for any office, to
organize any new party, or to inter
fore in any way with existing political
parties. Any one or all of these things
may be clone by the convention—but
none of them are embraced or propos
ed in the call for it. Those who may
do them in convention,. or support
them when done, will of course bo re
sponsible for their action. If the con•
volition should take steps hostile to
the Union party, no ono could longer
adhere to both. If it should make
hostile nominations, or adopt a hostilo
platftirm, no ono could support both.
But until something of that sort is ac
tually done, it is not easy to see why
any man of any party may not go in
to consultation with its fellow-citizens,
from every party and every section,
without forfeiting his party relations.
The idea that members of Congress
have any right, in caucus or elsewhere
to issue decrees of expulsion or exclus
sion in such a case, is simply absurd.
AL the same time it is evident that
the Philadelphia convention is regard
ed with great disfavor by all sections
of the Union party. That party is not
disposed to forget that it was the only
political organization upon which the
government relied 'during the war, and
that it saved the integrity of the na
tion against the armed efforts of the
rebels in the South and the political
hostility of Democrats in the North.
It feels, therefore, that it is now enti
tled to control the uovernment as
against both these parties, and it is not
disposed to co-operate with either of
them, or to accept their co-operation
in any political action whatever. They
objected to the first call for the Phila
delphia convention, -- that- it would-ad
mit all southern rebels who would not
accept the Union they had tried to de
stroy, while it excluded many of the
mon who had saved it. They object
to the second call, that while it ex
cludes all Union men who insist on
guarantees and conditions of restora
tion, it expressly hands over ono-half
the convention to those who opposed
the Union party in the election of T 4
--giving them, in fact, tho preponder
ance, inasmuch as in eleven States the
Union party had at that time no exis
tence, and can now, therefore, have
no representation. And they are still
further repelled by the eager alacrity
with which the recent rebels of the
South and the intense copperheads of
the North, like Fernando Wood and
Vallandigbam, accept the invitation,
and prepare to take part in its proceed
ings. The repugnance which they fool
to a political association with men
whose record is so utterly unpatriotic
and so obnoxious to public reprobation,
is , by no means unnatural or unjust,
and contributes largely to prejudice
the public mind against the convention
and all connected with it. •It gives
color to and confirms the charge that
its object is to reinstate in office and
in power men who have been justly
expelled by the people for their crimes
against the country, and to exclude
those to whom the country is indebted
for its salvation.
The Union party must not forgot,
however, that the Philadelphia con•
vention is duo entirely to its own fail
ure to comprehend and moot the ne
cessities of the hour. When the war
was over and the rebellion suppressed,
a powerful public sentiment, pervading
all parties, demanded the prompt res
toration of national action under the
Constitution and in accordance with
the fundamental principles of the goy- I
ernment. If the Union party had re
sponded to that sentiment, which was
very powerful in its own ranks—if it
had co-operated with the President,
.who did comprehend and sympathize
with it—and had made the restoration
(.4 union, peace, and concord the first
object of its. endeavors, it would have I
broadened its own foundations and kfft,
neither motive nor excuse for any such
movement as that which is now on
foot. If Congress had, two months
ago, admitted to their seats loyal inT3-
hers from Southern States, who could
take the oath prescribed by law—in
other words, if they had admitted the
members from Tennessee and Arkan
sas, the only States which have sent
such mon, the Philadelphia convention
would never have been heard of. Un
fortunately the Union party, contrary
to the judgment of very many of its
own members, surrendered itself to the
guidance of men with whom other
things were more important than the
peace and harmeny of the country.
[t followed the lead of men who insis
ted upon "reconstructing" the govern
ment from its foundations instead of
restoring the Union which the rebellion
had for the time destroyed, and re
pairing the breaches which the war
had made. It listened to tales of- the
provinces it had conquered, the new
rights it had acquired, the absolute,
unchecked power it now enjoyed; and
while it was indulging its dreams of
subjugation, of confiscation, of-univer
sal suffrage, and the elevation of the
negro race, the enemy quietly stepped
in and took possession of the strong-
•
7::::”;,, , .
.5 . ... , .
.5.6...t....3.,
hold of the Union and Constitution,
where all its victories had been won,
hut which for the moment it seems to
have deserted.
Those defaults of its own have given
the Philadelphia convention a degree
of strength which it is not wise for the
loaders of the_Union party to ignore
or underrate. By judicious counsels
at the outset they might have preven
ted it. At a later stage they might
have controlled it; it is not yet too
late to save themselves from being
ruined by it. But they will make a
fatal mistake if they content them
selves with ignoring or denouncing it.
If it should happen to be under the
guidance of wise and patriotic counsels
—if the Southern delegates who may
participate in its deliberations should
proffer it their words and their action
unmistakable evidence of the sincerity
with which they accept the ad
verse result of the war they, waged,
and of their readiness to adapt their
laws,, their habits and their whole po
litical action to the necessities which
that result has created—if the north
ern DemoCrats, who share its actitin,
should cut loose from the men and the
measures which made them so justly
ohnoxiouS to public censure during the.
war, 'and should pledge theidsolves to
the honor of the nation and to a liber
al policy worthy alike of its history
and destiny—if the platform of. princi
ples which-the convention may adopt,
and the action it may recommend,
shall prove thus responsive to the
largod and lofty aspirations of the na
tional heart, it may bo found that no
party organization, however compact
it may scorn to be, and however strong.
ly fortified by the memory of past ser
vices, can withstand its influence upon
the sentiments and the action of thil
great body of the American people. It
is a mistake to deem a party organiza
tion solid and unassailable merely be
cause it looks so. A political party,
like the ice of a frozen lake, melts
away from beneath, and while at even
ing its surface may seem.to be perfect
ly solid and untouche,tl by rift or seam,
tho breeze of a single night may per—
fect the work which weeks of silent,
unseen decay have been prepared.
Doubts as to the continued necessity
or usefulness Of a party never begin
with its leaders or active workers, but
always with the silent masses who
merely watch and think, while others
act, and whose action, in a season of
commotion, can never be predicted two
weeks ahead. Nor must:it bo forgot
ten :that the position - of the. Union par
ty to-day is ono which it has never
held before. The issues to which it
will stand committed are new to its or
ganization and to the public mind.
The people have never yet been called
to vote upon them, and while they
may seem to their zealous advocates
and authors to be very strong, others
may prove to be still stonger than they.
The Italian army stinted a sad re
verso the other day, becatise, trusting
in the goodness of its cause,it marched
boldly upon fortresses whose strength
it despised. The Union party will
consult its own safety and, the good of
the country by not throwing itself
against the Philadelphia convention
until it knows a little more of the na
ture and strength of its armament.

Judge Hughes, of Indiana„ address
ed tho following letter to Governor
Morton. It is a sensible and season
able admonition : •
WASILINUTON, July overnor
Morton :.--The proposed Philadelphia
Convention tends to the absorption by
tho Democratic party of the Conserva
tive Union men of the North. I 'am
not at present ready for such a fusion,
if it is to be. Lot the Democratic par
ty first retire its conspicuous anti-war
leaders and let sufficient time elapse
for the grass to grow on the graves
of the heroic dead. For the present I
advise all Union mon to remain stead.
fast in their own organization, hoping
that its dissensions may yet be healed,
and to keep aloof from proceedings
which can only result in the election of
the regular Democratic ticket in Indis
ana. I heartily approve of tho Presi
dents . policy,.and regard him personal
ly with esteem and friendship, and I
would cheerfully participate in any
meeting to express to the appreciation
of his measures; bat lam not ready to
furnish material to the radicals by ro'
turning to power men who incited re•
sistance to laws mado to fill up the
ranks of tho :truly. I speak only for
myself, and rio other is responsible for
this communication.
JAMES HUCIIkS.
The Rebellion tested parties and in
dividual:4. The democratic organizations
proved disloyal,and now stand discred
ited before the world. The Democra
tic masses were loyal, and with praise
worthy devotion raillicd under the
"Stripes and Stars" in defense of the
Government and Union. There were
also, loading Democrats, like General
Dix, General Logan, etc., who took
the field, while in our State, David
Floyd Jones, William C, Murphy, etc.,
etc., in the Senate, were out-spoken
and fearless against rebellion. In Con
gress, too, the late Mr. Odell, Mr.
Kiernan, of Oneida, lir. Union, of Erie,
etc., sustained, while the Woods, from
this city, opposed the Government and
war. There is a broad distinction—a
wide - gulf—between loyal and "Cop
perhead" Democracy. The former uni

the Government. Shall we not as cor
dially unite with them in the &orb to
restore the Union y
We said during the war, what wo
repeat now, that there vas more mer

be loyal in a slavo than in a free State.
We may add that it was mote merit-

orious in a Democrat than in a Repub
lican to join the army. Then reason is
obvious. And shall wo now, when la
boring to restore and consolidate what
oar victorious arms achieved, refuse
the co-operation of all who aided in
puitingdown the Rebellion.
The - Republican party has' been 7 dis
rupted and demoralized by Congress,
whose warfare against the President
and whoso now political dogmas were
designed to "drive him back into
the Democratic party." In this the
radicals failed. Though- a Democrat
until Mr. Buchanan's Democratic ad
ministration gave "aid and comfort" to
rebellion, President JOHNSON united
with Union men in 1360, and remain
ed first among the foremost battling
for the Union until victory rewarded
our efforts. regards the Demo
cracy, as it was organized and control
•led, through the war, as a discredited
party, a party holding the same rela
tion to the Government during the re
cent war that the Federal hold during
the war with England. With these
views, while gratefully accepting the
co-operation of loyal Dernocrats, the
President, standing in and with the
Union party, intends to "fight it out"
with radicalism "upon this lino."
"The Union National Convention call .
is addressed . to the friends of the
Union. It is an "entertainment" to
which "Copperheads" aro not invited.
Northern men who wore, during our
four year's struggle for national exist
ence, more than indifferent to the re
sult; whose sympathies were with se
cessionists, and gave what encourage- -
ment they could to our enemies, are
not embraced in that call, and shoUld
not be received if they Obtrude them—
selves upon the Convention.
The National Convention was a wise
and patriotic conception. It was do
thanded by a great public emergency.
Congress has failed, signally failed, to
garner up and preserve the fruits of
peace. It refuses to restore the Union,
or to cherish and cultivate good-will
between peoples recently enemies.
That sentiment, so popular on Fourth
of July colobrations—"Enemies'in war;
in peace, friends"—bas become obso
lete. Congress is waging war against
the Confederate States as vindictively
as when we were in actual war; and -
against President Johnson with even
more hatred than against Jefferson
Davis.* Indeed, the Tribune (organ of
radicalism), while its atacks upon
President Johnson aro "false and ma
licious," is so enamored with Jefferson
Davis that it offered to "go bail" for
him, and denounces the Government
as "cruel," for holding the Rebel •chief
in Fortress Monroe. For "universal *ne
gro suffrage" the Tribune ostentatious
ly offers "universal amnesty," permit
ting Davis, Benjamin, Wigfall, Slidell,
Mason, etc., to resume their seats in
the U. S. Senate.
Disloyal and discarded politicians
are, endeavorinr , to restore themselves
to favor and place by rushing into the
.Union National Convention. But they
are destined to disappointment. It
is hoped and believed that patriotic
counsels will prevail. It would be im
portine'nt and indecent in such men for
example as Vallandigham, of Ohio,
William B. Reed, ot. Pennsylvania, fyr
Fernando Wood, of this State, to pre
sent themselves as delegates to a Uni
on convention. The men who endea
vored to destroy both the Government
and Union have no right to sit in a
Union Convention, and unless they are
excluded, good, and true men will ex
clude themselves.
In any event, therefore; disloyal
parties will not profit by tho Philadel
phia Convention:. That Convention
was called for patriotic purposes. If,
by possibility, bad men get control of.
it, they will be; loft to do what they so
effectually accomplished in all the con
ventions they controlled during the
war—use their tarty and thomselvos
up.
Letter from Secretary Seward,
Letter from Secretary Seward on the
Philadelphia Convention.
The following important letter has
just been made public:—
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASimiarorr,
July 11—Sir:—Excuse me for express
ing surprise that you ask me whether
I approve of the call of a proposed
Union National Convention at Phila.
delphia. After more than five years
of dislocation by civil why, I regard a
restoration of the unity of the country
its most immediate as well as its most
vital interest. That restoration will
he complete when the loyal mon are
admitted as representatives of the loy
al people of eleven States so long un
represented in Congress. Nothing but
this can complete it. Nothing more
remains co be done, and nothing more
is necessary. Every day's delay is at
tended by multiplying and increasing
inconveniences, embarrassments,. and
dangers, at home and abroad. Gong—
gress possesses the power exclusively.
Congress, after., a session of seven
months, still omits to exercise that
power. What can be done to induce
Congress to act? This is the question
of the day. Whatever is llono must
be done in accordance with the Con
stitution and laws. It is in perfect
accordance with the Constitution and
laws that the people of the United
States shall assemble by delegates in
convention, and that when so assem
bled they shall address Congress by
respectful petition and remonstrance;
and that the people in their several
States, DistrictS, and Territories, shall
approve, sanction, and unite in such
respectful representations to Con
gress.
No ona_party could do this effectu
ally, or even seems willing to do it
alone. .No local or popular organiza
thin could do it effectually. It is the

interest of all parties alike, of all the
States, and of all sections—a national
interest of the Whole people. ' The
Convention, indeed, may not succeed
in inducing Congress to act; but if
they fail, the attempt can make mat
tors no worse. It will be a lawral and`
patriotic attempt made in the right di.,
reetion—an effort to be remembered
with pride and satisfaction whether it
succeed or fail. The original Union of
the States was brought,about by move
ments of the same character-The citi
zens who objects to the Convention is
bound to propose a better plan of .pro
ceedings to effect the desired end. No,
other plan is offered, or Oven thought
of. Those who should oppose it would
seem to me to manifest at best uncon
cern, if not oppositiou, to all recon
struction, reorganization, and motion:-
iation between the alienated masses of
the American people.. To admit that
the convention will fail, woald bo to
admit that the people of the United
States are deficient in either wisdom
or the virtue necessary to continue
the existence of the republic. I be
lieve no such thing. A great political
writer says that government is a secu
lar religion, and that the people of
every country aro divided into two
classes, each maintaining a distinct po
litical faith, the one class always fear
ing the very worst - that 'can possibly
happen, and the other hoping -under
every circumstance, the very best that
can in event happen. Without accep- .
ting this theory as absolutely true. I
think that all men do generally act
froin a motive to guard against public
danger, or else from a positive desire,
to do good. Both classes may, therefore
favor the present attempt to restore
the unity of the nation.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
WM. H. SWARD.
