States will soon be put to another test that will exercise the full measure of their forbearance. The par ty, of which 'Sumner, Wade, and Wilson, in the Senate, and Boutwell, Ashley, Bingham and Thad. Stevens, in the House, are repre sentative members, are preparing to take one more stride forward in their traitorous efforts to overthrow our Constitutional form of Gov ernment. In defiance of popular opinion, it is the intention of the majority in both houses, who, in the language of Mr. Eliot, of Massachusetts, are responsible for the legis lation by CongreSs -during the last eight years," to put through and clinch all meas ures that may be requisite to a perpetuation of their power,. at whatever risk of public peace, interest and safety. The programme foreshadowed by Wendell Phillips twelve months ago, and reiterated by Ben. Wade last fall, has been agreed upon, and is to be carried out to the letter. Congress, with the united vote of the Radical party in both Houses, will carry out the folloWing ores, to wit : First. To put supreme power over the ex cluded States into the hands of a military dictator, abrogating the State laws and the rights of all white citizens thereof. Second. To subject the 'Executive to the control of the legislative branch of the floc eminent ; in Cid, obliterating the former. Third. To destiny the power of the Fed eral Judiciary, thus removing all - barriers to the Usurpation by Congress of the powers of the Federal Government. Fourth. To summarily remove the Pres ident by law, in case he should offer any ob stacle to the measures they have adopted or maw adopt. The hill for. that purpose pro: vides for the arrest and suspension of Presi dent Johnson as soon as articles of impeach ment shall be adopted by a majority vote of the House. The reason that impeachment heretofore failed was that a law fot the arrest and impeachment and suspension from office of the impeached party had not then been passed. Fifth. To legislate out of office, or destroy by base attacks on his reputation, every offi cer of the arniv or nave who refuses to assist in.fastening these measnres upon the nation. investiture? It 14 a poisoned robe which will cliMi to his festering sides, if he does. He has been silent, and moderate, and prudent, and men have looked to- him with some hope. Will he make himself the point of attack ; the target of-bate ; the central figure in this infamous usurpation ? Will he make his fellow citizens forget his battles for the tnion;in his Victory over the Constitution,his prostration of Civil Liberty. They accredited his victories in the field to the patriotic pur pose of restoring the tnion and re-estab lishing the law. Will he now, in the service of a faction, demand " the unconditional sur render ". of all that is vital in the Constitn tion, of all that makes communities free and honored, and of the attributes of independ ence in the Executive and the Judiciary !: It were better for him that he sheathed his sword in his own body Onot ; that he should wield it in such a cause. It is treason against liberty ; and every true voice should be raised to denounce it and evert• hand to strike it down!

Through the plea of "war necessity" they have disorganized party combinations against their iniquitous schemes; and by steadily, and, through an organized plot, generally de nouncing all Outside of their "ring" lig "'trai tors" and "Copperheads," they have demor alized the public sentiment to such an ex tent that all the injunctions to watchfulness from the early fathers of our Republic, to gether with all the safbgttards of Liberty established by them, are lbrgntten, or stink in the unholy desire fur the success of, a party whose - in:dig:a spirit would drag down the Goddess of Liberty front her temple, de stroy her image which is enshrined in the hearts of the millions who have been blessed by her sweet smiles, and remove did beacon light of hope she has set up Ibr future gener ations.

The means then by which they expect to attain the end proposed is plain. They have- usurped control of ten States and minces maters their party with the South ern negroes for the purpose of controlling the elections in those States, which they have purposely kept from representation for two years, that they might get the entire control. They have tminpleddown the Executive brunch of the Government, arid the COnsti tution under which they attained to power, and over-ridden the Supreme Court. They have re-Instated officers suspended for notorious unfitness—if not notorious criminality—in order to further their designs; and if they cannot by these means carry out ' their_ designs it is evident they intend to con. trol the country through the power of mili tary despotism. Are the people prepared to submit to this result ? We shall see. D. ECIPORTANT BILL ET THE LEGIS- lIMMI The financial 'question gives promise of throwing the negro wholly in the shade henceforth. In all tht: Legislatures now in session, it is the leading topic, and . n .mere digest of the many measures proposed:for the puhlic,iclit-f .would fill mans ( . .olumns. Among the propositions suggested we have seen none that are More likely to command general attention, than the following rusolu lions introdnertd into the State Legislature by Mr. lfeek, the newly elected Democratic Senator from the Lyeoming district, We* understand that promises ot support for them have beengiven, by a number of Radical legislators; and that Senator Lowry will soon make a %pi:eclt favoring the principles of Mr. Beck's re , olotton6, if trial the resolutions thems'elves : &vetted, 1. That it is the judgment of the Representatives of the people of Pennsylva nia, in General Assembly met, that the earliest.possible renirn of the Government of the United State , : to specie payments is es sential to the interests of our people and the prosperity of the nation. 2. That to ensure en early and safe return to specie payments, we believe that the whole business of furnishing, the people with currency should be vested in the General Government alone, on the basis of her bonds ; and that the present national banking sys tent. exacting. as it does, two interests front the people--one in the form of taxes for the payment of the interest on the bonds deposit ed by the banks for thh use of their currency —is oppressive, unjust and ruinous, and, iu our judgment, should be discontinued. 3. - That the .lionds of the Government. furnished an ample and suture' basis for the currency required by the business of the times ; and that their payment in United States legal tender notes,l93l their sale for the same, by the Government, at the option of the holder, will-equalize the value of the several issues of the Government, restore public confidence, by raising both bonds and currency to a gold standard, and in our opin ion, open the way fur a speedy and safe re turn to specie payments. • • 4. That the exemption of any species of property from taxation for the support of' the Government, is unwise, impolitic, and has no authority in law; and that in our opinion, the existing internal revenue laws are grievously oppressive, and should be so changed, or modified, as to relieve the toil. and industry of the country, anti place thp burdens of the Government upon the vices, luxuries and wealth of the land. S. That economy in the expenditure of public money is also essential to the restora tion of public confidence; and that the ne cessity of the times no longer requires the enormous expenditures made necessary by the war; and iti our judgment each branch and department of the Government should be limited to the smallest practicable amount necessary for the efficient discharge of the duties relating thereto ; and that all sources of expenditure not essential to the present anti piospectiic necessities of the Govern ment should be speedily discontinued. fi. That, as well fbr the protection of the .labor and Manufactures of the country as for the purpose t fderiving revenues, a well de fined tariff upon imposts, le?ying thereon heavier duties than now exist, should be speedily enacted and rigidly enforced. —The resolutions came up for considera- I 'ion on the evening of the 21st inst., when I I Mr. Lowry commenced a long and carefully I prepared speech in :faVor of the. principles embodied in Mein. The tenor of his' remarks nettled some of his fellow ItailicaN, end a desperate-attempt was made to "choke him ott" Mr. Ridgway, of Philadelphia, accused Lowry of fiworin g - repudiation."

GRANT THE RADICAL NOMINEE. Radicals of all hues now freely concede that there is but one man in The United HStates - Who. can safely run for President .algninst= the dead Democratic party. General' Grant's nomination is u foregone conclusion. Why do they nominate a man who liarnever ' been identified with their creed ? Why do they stake heir succe , , on mere , military prestige i Why select a candidate who, if he finally turns out to be a Republican will be such only because his - ambition gets the better of his judgment? There was never a more unequivocal confession of conscious weakness than the Republiean party is tow making. A political party never paid a sin cerer tribufeAo the strength s :lml vigdr of its rival than to nominate a man.who has aster publicly proftrssed its principles, whore li-es to let the eountry know where he stands, who never voted a Republican ticket, never made a Republican speech, het, er even attended 'a Republican meeting, anti cares nothing thr the Republican policy, except as a hobby on which he hopes to ride into the, White Howe. If he hud nut shared the de-' lesion, which prevailed ten months ago, that the Democratic party , was dead, he would as wiliingly have remained a democrat as have exchanged sly glances with the Republicans. For a while, the Detnfleilit.l (10111)14 him for precisely the same reasons that the Republi cans court him. now—because they supposed themselves weak. But since the great re action which has taken place in the public mind, the Democratic party feels no need of this crutch, and is quite willing its rival shall use it to support its tottering TIM -Radical pipers Irave published with a great flourish of trumpets, and much ;mus ing chatter.a secret eirctirOst. taunt by Hon.

We have neither time, room; nor disposi tion to prolong the controversy, but; we can not help remarking that according to our cotemporary's idea, the "Jointly!' of the American people is a subject of ir Very tin certain character.

"But the 'Government' everybody i knows is di vided—the President and &prelim Court taking one side; and Congress the other. To which then is 'loyalty', due ?"

If the latter there has be' en a very great fuss over a very small matter TETE shallow jubilation of the Republicans Oyer the--case of Stanton is of no more ac cCiant than the cacklingof geese. Whathave they gained by it ? An odious system is more easily tendered unpopular when administer ed by detested men. It was a mistake to put Me de in the place of POpe, since he has done the same things and gives their the sanction of his more respectable character'. We pre sume the President would not wish to repeat the same blunder in the War Department. The ac don of the Senate in St =tees case so far fi.inn being a party triumph, is a party infa my. When the Tenure-ofollica bill was on its passage, the Senate refuSed to include Cabinet officers, and onlytonsenffiti at last as the result of a Committee of Conference. It was the deliberate judgment ot the Senate that the President ought to have the selec-, tion of his Cabinet_ Its yielding to thelbuse seemed immaterial at the time, as the bill, by making the Senate the judge of the President's reasons, put it in its power to concede to him that control of his Cabinet which it admitted he ought to have. The fact that the Senate has acted against its own public admission of the President's rights, shows what an un scrupulous and inconsistent-junta of partisans it is.• It stands self-convicted of sacrificing its • itnigmentto ffiwty malice. QtrrrE an exciting scene occurred .iu the Rouse on Wednesday afternoon of last week, pending the consideration of the so-called re construction bill. Mr. Fernando Wood,, of New York, proceeded to speak in opposition thereto, and in the course of his remarks he characterized the bill as "a monstrosity—the most infamous act of die many infamous acts of this infamous Congress." lie was loudly , called to order from the Radical side of the Rail, and Mr. Dingham demanded that the words quoted should be taken down by the Clerk, and objected to Mr. Wood continuing his remarks. A vote was ordered on a mo tion to allow Mr. Wood to proceed, and it was lost by-n strict party division—yeas 39 ; nays 108. Mr. Daives, ot Massachusetts, then offered a resolution requiring the Speaker to censure Mr. Wood for the language above re ferred to. A motion to lay this resolntiou on the table likewise failed by a strict party vote —yeas 38, nays 115. The resolution was then adopted—yeas 114, nays 38, and the Speaker proceeded to deliver a brief lecture to Mr. Wood on the alleged impropriety of his con duct. The honorable member did not appear to pay any attention to the proceeding what ever, doubtless thinking, with a great many " others, that, udder the Circumstances, it was a very high compliment to be censured by etch a body. THE Financial Chronicle, in a -late num ber, directs attention to the increase of the public debt in November and Deceinber; the expenses and outlay for army purposes, and the amount - of income necessary- to be col lected in order to keep up the Radical plan of governing the country, and adds, "for the present it appears we must give up thei hope of diminishing, to any great extent, the vast aggregate which represents our national ob ligations, except retrenchment be enthreeti with a much more rigorous and firm hand in the departments at Washington." The diffi culty Is_not in the departments. it lies With Congress. While that body keeps ten States under a military ,despotism, and the army upon a war footing, the expenses tlf the gov ernment will tncrcase year after year. Attntit the States, reduce , the cost of the ‘Var. De partment, and the first steps towards a reform have been taken. But the Radicals will not move in that direction, and hence the people must continue to suffer. As AN illustration of the manner in which military justice is administered in the South,' we give the following incidents of recent rre n ein that section : "Some months ago Captain-Schaaf, of the United States Anny, shot and killed Col. Shepperd, n citizen of Alabama, at Mount Vernon Arsenal, near Mobile. The murder was pronounced to most cowardly affair: He has recently been tried by a court martial and sentenced to pay a tine of #lOO awl be imprisoned at Fort Pu laski for eix months. A few days after that occurrence a negro committed a rape upon the person of a young lady in North Caroli na. Her friends captured and lnmg him. Fire of them were arrested and tried , by a ndlitaty court and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisimment at hard labor. This is Radical . justice.. The life of •a - white - man is worth' thine hundred dollars and a trifling impris onment; that of a. negro. incarceration for fifteen years. , IT Is nOw'statecl that the depression in Nev. England throws out of work at_leastiGo,ooo people----10,000 'in Maine, 20,000 in Newt Hampshire; 30,000 in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and 100,000 in Massachusetts. -The main cause Of-the unsettled financial condi tion and general depression of business and manufacturing interests is due to the Radical party, which, after nearly three years of ex periment, has failed to•restore or even to re construct, but is in •a fair way to starve the South, and to ruin, financially, the North. This destructive, all-depressing party has the supreme impudence to ask the unemployed mechanics and I:diming:men of the North to vote so as to keep this disaster-bringing and breeding concern dominant a few years more," or long entitiqrit to complete the country's ruin. Tnisordei of Gen. Ilancock, issued on the Ist inst., in' regard; to appeals to him to decide litiguted cases, fully sustains the former ac tion of that gallant officer since taking com mand of the district of Louisituia and Texas. These are golden words—" The administra tion of civil justice appc . rtains to the regular courts. The rights of litigants -do not de pend on the view; of the General. They are to be adjudged 41 settled according to the laws. Arbitthry power, such as he has been urged to assume, has no existence here. It is not found in the laws of Louisiana or Texas. It cannot be derived froth any • art of Con. grecs. Ire is restrained by a Constitution, and prohibited from action in many' particu lars." There is the ring of the true metal in these words. THE people of the \Vest, with great una nimity, favor the payment of the tive-twenty bonds in greenbacks.. This k denounced as "repudiation" by the New York Tribune; for partisan ptirposo2. On the back of the green back'issue of February 2.1, 1882, we findlhe fidlowing: "This note is a -legal - tend for all debts, public and private, except du ies on imports and interest on the public debt, and is rectivabtkin payinent of all loans made to the United States." What sense there is in styling the payment of an obligation in strict accordance with its terries "repudiation," • we leave to the decision of those who must pay the bonds. Tnn correspondent of the Tribune, speaking of the .Grant movement, says the Radical party "does not want a sol dier; if it had carried Pennsylvania , it would have done without him. But .1 this iv the. hour of its despair, and only a soi dier can wive it." Yet, after Grant is nom inated, the whole Mulical press will he howl ing (Oxon their love for the soldiers, and point to their tutppoit of Mn as an ilinatration . of it. • Tut highest financial authority in theptg... lish press, the London-Economist, says dike system (!) of taxation for which We have to thank the Radical party; "Every sort of in dustryr-almost every, kind of available and conspicuous net—t. seized upon anti taxed. A ninety-ninth part of this interference in - Englandivonld have caused a rebellion." Tem Grand Array of the Rermiblie, in conk vention at Philadelphia, elected Gea, Logait of Illinois, Collunander4n-Clitef; and Gen, J. Owen, 'of - Philadelphia, for Senior Vice Commander. The Grand Army must be hard up for material, to take two of the most notorious scapegraces in the country for its elder officers. Tug Mobile Tribune quotes the following extractiVont the letterof a 3liviiippi plan ter: "I never dreamed of such hard times and actual distress as lain this State at present; and it is nothing - now to what it will be. This portion of the State is its most favored. Moat of our people have corn enough to last this year; but not one in' twenty-five has meat enough to last three months, and there' is no money to buy it with. No one has made cotton enough to pay. his hands nor to pay for the supplies used during the past year, and according to Ord's order, the latter are to receive attention first, as I think justly. On one or tub places, I hear that the negroes are living on parched corn alone, their em ployers not being able to pay them for last year's work nor to feed them this year." , GRANT'S Radical enemies arc. developing some of his alleged 'short-comings. One of these-Is the restoration to the army of Major Lynde, a relative of his brother-in-law, Gen. Dent. Lynde was cashiered anti • dismissed from the army for surrendering Fort Fillmore to an inferior force of Confederates, in 1801. They also animadvert: on his habits, and de clare that indulging in o;/ate CS has the same effect on him as on Toodles. TUF. World, Commenting on the doings of Congress, forcibly and truly says: "The men of the Rump are traitors—not with arms seeking to secede from one free government in order to establish another like the first— they are traitors to representative,govern ment itself, to the institutions which alone in modern times have enshrined civil liberty: They arc traitors to the freedom of treemen." TILE PERFIDY OF ORILIVP. - He Violates his Word, stud Sell■ out Body and Soul tp the Radteats. [Frorri the New York Tribune, Jan. lab. Possibly Mr. 'Johnson is as much sur prised at some features of the transactions in the Stanton affair as anybody ; for it appears he had an understanding with Gen. Grant some time ago, which was renewed and ifs details recapitulated from time to time,. and finally repeated on Saturday last t •tbat lie (Grunt) would eitherhold on to the office as Secretary of War ad interim until the rights of. Stanton should be adjusted in court, in case the latter should demand possession or the Department, or else he would - give the President' timely notice of his intention to resi,ln as Secretary ad interim, and thus ena ble Mr. Johnson. to appoint some other man to the office, who would relitse to surrender to Stanton until the decision cOnld be had.' As It was evident on Saturday last that the Senate would not sustain the suspension of Stanton, the President and General Grant had another interview on the subject, and a full understanding, substantially as above set forth, was the result. It Was also agreed that Gen. Grant, in company_ with General Sherman, should call on the President on Monday to determine finally whether he would resign as Secretary ad interim, or con tinue in the office and test Stanton's right, as before stated. General Sherman called on the Executive, but Grant did not. Mean time, on Sunday last, a suggestion had been made to the President by certain Senators that should the name of ex-Gov. Cox, of Ohio, be sent to the Senate for Secretary of War, his nomination would probably be con firmed, and thins get rid of the Stanton im broglio at once. Mr. Johnson, however, preferred to have the matter take the course .lie had decided it .should, especially as he bad no doubt of haying the co-operation of Gen. Grant or another Secretary ad interim, in the manner before stated. What caused Gen. Grant to change his mind or to with draw front the arrangements, or why he did not notify the President of his intention to surrender to Stanton,has not transpiredfully. ' The first notice the President had .of such change of purpose was upon the receipt of I the following note from Gen. Grant- to-day I at about 11:30: Tloqits. Alt3tY r. S., Jail. 14. 1868. 7 7iie Kritefinfry .1. .I,7hnson,- Pre*(deht ITiiika Stator. - SIR : I 'have the honor to inclose herewith , , a copy of official notice, received by me last ' evening. of the action of the Senate of the United States in the case of the suspension of the lion. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of f f War. According to the provisions of see-. tion 2 of an net regulating the tenure of civil officers, my functions as Secretary of War ad intert'm ceased front the moment of the receipt of the within notice. I have the hon. or to be, veryrespectfully, your obedient servant, • . ' U. S. Grum'. • (Here follows a copy of the resolution of the Senate.) This letter was handed to the President by one of Gen, Grant's staff lust one hour after Gen. Grant had surrendered to 'lli. Stanton, and of course the latter was in possession of the War Department for that • length of time before 31r. Johnson was advised of what had transpired. " • Gen. Grant was in conultatitin with the President to-night, and we have high official authority (not from Gen.' Grant)' that the General unnualifiedly'expressed the opinion that the Secretary of War should-1,43nd in his resignation. The same authority states-that Gen. Sherman expressed the same opinion yesterday. The President, it appears, is de termined to adhere to the strict letter of the law, so far as Mr. Stanton is concerned, which will compel everything from the War Department to go forth with the words,"By direction of the President." - Prom the same source I have it that Gen. Grant will obey the Presider)! only. The National Intelligencer republishes its article in- regard to the understanding be tween the President and Gen. Grant with the following renewed assertion of its exact truthfulness: ."The above statement of Lets was made by us deliberately; carefully and advisedly. We know it to be true' in all its length. breadth, • and • we • challenge General Grant to deny it in a single particu lar." Special dispatch to the Pittsburgh Pont.) ' Washington, Jan. 16.—There is no doubt that Grant deceived The President in sur rendering the war office.. Johnson pointedly reminded him in the presence of Sherinan of his agreement, and Grant did kot deny it, and said if he' had not allowed Stanton to take possession. he would have umliTtaken to run the war office elsewhere, under the authority of the Senate. The President said - if he, Grant; had kept faith, he would have seen how the Secretary would have seen how the Secretary would have fizzled - in running his out-side machine. Grant and others are at tempting to persuade Stanton to resign,while the Jacobin faction in Congress, entreat him to hold the place. Gen. Grant was again * with him to-night, and unqualifiedly expressed his opinion that Stanton should resign, and Gcn. Sherman yesterday earnestly advised the same course. Meantime, however, Stanton is reduced to the merest clerkship in the War Department. The President win not permit any orders to be sent from that department except in strict pursuance ! of law, which being literally fol lowed will prevent any orders from the Sec retary of war as heretofore, and compel eve rything of that character to tte 'issued by di rection 'of the President. Om Grant will only recognize order , from thy President. .
