" What Will toe tike Result,
* T^^SfeV Y?tk fcer?ld', m speaking
of the position of the radicals in
Congress, says : .....
The Republicans, therefore, stand
now precisely where the Jacobins in
the National Assembly " of France
stood at the early stages of the reign
of terror. Lake canses produce like
results, and, if they adhere to the
same extrem?- policy,-this Congress,
instead of re-adjusting the country
and securing the long,-looked for peace
and prosperity, will plunge us into
anarchy, political and financial ruin,
bringing with it the terrible, bloody
scenes enacted in the French repub?
lic. This is the feast that Stevens
and Sumner are trying to lay before
us. This is the cause in which Ray?
mond has now enlisted and has be?
come a champion. To this revolu?
tionary creed we find such men as
Blaine, of Maine, Deming, of Con?
necticut, and Banks, of Massachu?
setts, who claimed to bc conserva?
tives, now prominent converts. We
trust that there will be back-bone
enough in the Senate to arrest this
evil before it is too late. Unless that
is done, all the labors of President
Johnson in restoring the Union will
have been in vain. The work accom?
plished by him in building up will be
destroyed, and wreck and ruin will
take its place. The people of this
country furnished the Government
the means, the material and men ne?
cessary to prosecute the war. They
stood this drain and met all the de?
mands made upon them for four long
years, to an extent never before known
in the history of the world. All this
was done to preserve the Union-to
prevent evil-disposed and rebellious
combinations from taking even a
State out of the Union. They have
seen their cause victorious, and have
rejoiced over the defeat and over?
throw of those who would destroy
the nation. After submitting to all
these sacrifices to prevent the seces?
sion of a State, a faction springs up,
headed by Stevens, Wade and Sum?
ner, who, in effect, are endeavoring
to show that, instead of preventing
secession by the war, the success of
our armies has actually driven the
Southern States out of the Union ;
that the sacrifice of hfe and treasure
for four years was not for the purpose
of preserving the Union, but to de?
stroy it. This is the theory which
Stevens is trying to commit Congress
and the Republican party tor This,
and no other, woidd be the effect of
treating the Southern States as con?
quered Terri tories. It was to secure
the endorsement of this programme
that he presented his resolution in
caucus. He has received the uuani
mous endorsement of the Republi?
cans in the House of Representatives ;
but we trust that the Senators will
hesitate a long time before they com?
mit themselves to a policy which will
lead ti> the endorsement of the idea
that our gallant soldiers gave their
lives to destroy the Union. Where
the practical application of this pro?
gramme of Stevens will carry us is
too painful to contemplate. All who
wish to see a picture of the future, if
Congress persists in following the
lead of Stevens and Sumner, can find
it in the Moody records of the Jaco?
bin rule in France.
FORNEY ON THE MESSAGE. -The President
himself, in full riew of his accountability
to the people, declares that thc work o?
restoration is coniydete, so far as bc could
control it, and that thc people of the Knuth
are ready to obey the obligations and
penalties they have incurred, and are pre?
pared to show their sincerity hy their
works. Tin: testimony of Licutcnant
Gonoral (?rant in support of this impor?
tant declaration is characteristically frank,
explicit and truthful. We certainly ask no
better witnesMCs. They are not alone
competent to speak, but abundantly worthy
of belief. And this is impressively true in
view of the fact that nothing, either in thc
message or the accompanying rep .
looks to a surrender of principle us under?
stood by thc friends of the Government
and laid down in the platform of the Na?
tional Union party, or attempts to post
none or to evade thc great duty of defend?
ing, protecting and befriending thc freed?
men of the South. The whole exhibit is
manly, straightforward, and full. That it
has been criticised is tn bc expected in
these days of novel complications and
novel remedies; but that any statesman
should believe that it docs not come up to
thc full measure of patriotic expectation,
ia almost incomprehensible. We hail it as
the monument from which to date thc
restoration of the conquered States to a
vindicated Union, and the true historical
beginning of a Republic without a slave.

Mr. Forney, like Mr. Greeley, tries to re?
concile the message and th" Uepublioan
platform. The very earnestness with
which they try to prove that tho President
has done nothing to displease the Republi?
cans is sufficient evidence that, Cuffeo
being in the case, ho has literally rpadc
" thu wool fly." _
