' | The Radicals Anxious tor Rcbtliiuu For some days past the redoubtable For ney, who sports Colonel to his name, ac quired at a militia musteror dubbed 44 Aid'' by some one of our Governors with the additional title thrown in, lias been on the 44 war path" and has been threatening terri ble things in case of certain contingencies. The cause of all this rhetorical thunder comes from the action of Governor Swann, of Maryland, who in his official capacity, ha- cited certain Police Commissioners of the city of Baltimore to appear before him. to meet certain charges preferred against them by ten thousand citizens of that com munity, who accuse them of malpractice in office. These petitioners allege that there are thirty-five thousand voters in Balimorc; that the Commissioners ruled that those whose names were on the former registry conld vote at the late municipal election.— Ihe result was,that out of thirty-five thou sand votes a little over seven thou.-and pre sented themselves at the polls. Out of this number the Radicals received fivethou-and or about one seventh of the voting popula tion. As matter of course, they carried cvervthi' g their own way. Now that Governor Swann is ab' iit to cab the Commissioners to account for their deeds, Forney fills the columns ol his two journals, the Washington Chronicle and Philadelphia Press with the most imflara matorv appeals for his party to rcsi.-t the Governor. The following is apart of a letter of Forney's written in BttU'aiore to the Prests i "Thp Mayor will never but fipht it out to tho bitter end All th > Union men in Bait more s wear that they will <Jrench the tre ita in blood but they will protect .heir rights and (he liw The br ive General Deonis.'n vnd the gal lant General VVooley have both offered their ser vices to the Mayor, and the returned veterans of the Union army are ra-ty to fight.

It he mall attempt this, there will be civil war The men I see here mean fisht They do not mean '• submit, an 1 will nit sub ait.

Let Penn s\it.'.nia be ea y " It w ill be S" en that this is nothing less than an invitation to civil war. It is a much so as*w:is the app.-al to the pe.qih of Carolina in 1801. It is just as rib. l.iou and shows thai the country is to have no pence while these R .duals are allowed t<- go unchecked. Like their *-outh Carolina prototypes tbey are fulminating their thousands and drilling their d '.pes with the open and avo%v v -i) purpose of resisting ih laws and precipitaiing revolution and hloodslied throughout llie land. It is but another move in the programme, mapped out hy the Toich-aud-1 urpetitine trumps, Biowmlow, Iliinnicuit, Butler Ai Co. Tney want another war so that they may once more thrive and fatten on their country's miserr. t But it seems there are some of the Rad ical leaders who hesitate to follow the "lying whelp of sin" in his new crusade. Tim Chicago Republican, referring to Foihev and his appeal to resist the consti tuted authorities of an independent State says : "Aton we av. let no Rt-fublYao fire oti th< fi.se;. Let no beret, f.ic Union man she.l ths w ir. lot a F'.leral toMirr Thus tnr the shir's of our j.srlv nre unstained by thi- >;re:it crime.

'I he Republicans don't want t-> ho held responsible for the insane ravings of a be sotted wretch like Forney in his scheme of riot, revolution and bloodshed. That paper knows full well that rebellion once initiated in Baltimore will speed to every eitv, town and village throughout the North. Thev know that however pleas ant it may be to a fanti. al Radical to see a D m"Cratic neighbm's house sacked and burned, there is no guarantee that he, in turn mnv not have to view his own ele gant establishment razed to the ground, and his wifi- and children left to the mercy of an infuriated mob, or exposed to the rude insults of an exeeited soldiery. No wonder thi*n that the Republican •!• noun ces the ravings of Forney as the villainous appeal of a "political mountebank and charlatan." The New York Journal of Commerce rightfully regards the present as a time, of unprecedented importance, and says: It ihe efforts of cnion loving men fail n-.w 10 fjitallih ihe great principles of the Coiistioi asth>- law for Southern as well as the Northern States, then the war will have prov<l a total filure. and lite outlay of moru'V and blood worse than vain.

S.you arc beaten less than three percent, on the whole. A change of one and a half per cent, would have given you the S'ate. Yon have reduced the ma jority of your opponents, and polled nearly twenty thousand more votes than ever be fore. Upon aggregate ofthe Congression al vote, still greater force is shown. In this contest you have proven your de votion to principle, have demonstrated the strength of your organization; and yield to your enemy a dearly bought victory. You are "defeated hut not dismayed.''— Buoyancy and hope everywhere pervade your ranks, whilst chagrin and dismay mark the visages of you opponents. Thov judge you rightly ; for, in the light of this exhibition of vour stern devotion to the doctrines of the Constitution, to the perpetuity of your Union, and to the supre macy of you race, tney read their coining defeat. For the first time since the final dishand ment of our arrfi es, you have met the for ces of the Republican organization. They fought lor the life of their party ; they con centrated against you the influence of al mo.M vvety manufacture r, corporation and hank ; they had at their command a large preponderance of the public press of the State, speakers without number, all the money that dynasty of contractors —to whom the public treasury has been a mine of wealth—culd furnish ; memories of the war s'ill fresh enough to he the means of exciting hatred ; laws enacted with a view to their own political ascendancy ; a well disciplined organization. and all of the advantages that the possession of mu nicipal and State power could bring them; a>d yet, unaided and self impendent, you have rom'-ated this powerful combination, and almost carried the State. All honor and praise to the Democracy of the K vsto e, for this m >st gallant fight. A hand of men, who, ir 1803, can poll for their candidate 254.000 votes ; in 27G,0::0 votes, and in 2860, 235,000 vot.s ; who plant them-elvea upon principle that are eternal ; w." o will not despair of the Republic, and who possesses tin phvsical power and the m>ral courage to mainta n the r opinions and preserve their Ith. rlii s, must eventually he the ruling power in the State. ' Implicit belief ir. the justice and truth of the gr at doctrines that Jio at the bas. of ■ urfoim of government, aver-ion to its' centralization and confidence in the effi ciency of the Constitution for theptoserva tion of your liberties, have of ever distin guished you. These are the magnets around which you have gathered in many a hard fought contest, and to them von will be true as the needle to the pole. Opin ions of individuals may change ; but, in the future as in the past, can* victory or defeat, as a party you will ever be found rallying to these principles as tha leading 1 tenets of your political faith. Hop-, confidence and coui age should be gather. d from the n m-mbranc , that two thirds of the. white freem< n of the Republic i think as y<u do upon these subjects , and that, on ev. ry fiebl on which they are staked,your united aciiuu w ill overcome all i oppesi g forces. We ask yon to persevere in the wo;k so j auspiciously !i> gun. From this hour,let us . determine to gc forward. Let us have done with spasmodic efforts, and move on ward with unflagging energy. The thorough and effectual dissemina tion of truth, is the proper means to yonr ! eventual triumpl ; and organization, d ; s- j cipline,systematic effort ami i*.dividual ex l ertion, are the avenues that lead to victory, i Wdl you pursue them ? United,disciplined and determined, you will be irrisFtibie. By order of the Democratic State Com mittce. WILLIAM A. WALLACE, Chairman. He Scorns the Companion. B v.
