The New York Herdld of ?the 10th inst, says: "A mob of radicals attacked the ^National Union Headquarters in Baltimor6yeBter_ day, tore down the United States flag, and tn^fo an assault on the Transcript office, but the police promptly interfered. A fight also took place on Monday night between the rival factione, in whioh one man was shot three times. One man was killed in Cincinnati, on Monday night, in a bar room fight, for shouting for the Republican .candidates. A small fight occurred at one of the polls in Newark, yesterday. Another occurred in Terre Haute, Indiana, in which one man, a Demo? crat, was killed, and several other persons wound? ed, and a terrible riot took place in Richmond, In? diana, the Republican organization called the Grand Army of th3 Republic, driving General MEBEDITH, Colonel BICKBU, and others from a stand at a Democratic meeting."

F. Butler Develops the Radical Flan How the Work is to be ?one--Foicr lo bc Resorted to bygthe Radicals if Mr. John? son Refuses to Obey tho Behests of the Kump Congress. CINCINNATI, October 7.-General BUTLER ad? dressed an immense audience at Xenia, Dayton and Springfield on Friday, and at Hamilton und Cin? cinnati yesterday. General BUTLER advocated the impeachment of the President, because he sought, to bring Congross into public hatred, ridi? cule, and contempt; because ho had corruptly used tho power of removal and appointments; be causo he had neglected to execute those laws of Congress which were passed over his veto and other laws; because ho had defied tho constitu? tional right of the Senate to confirm appoint? ments by placing in power officers whom it bad rejected; becatiso ho had corruptly used tho par? doning power and unlawfully restored property belonging by right of capture to the United ?tates, and because he usurped the power of Congress by terminating the. war by proclamations iustoad I of by treaty by the Advice of the Senate Or a law I of Congress. Each of these offences are high crimes and misdemeanors in the meaning of-tho Constitution. Tho speech concluded'as follows : We have beou asked tho question, How oan the President be impeached? Ho is Commander-in Chief of the army and navy, and tho, Constitution of the United States says nothing, whatover about' who shall hold the office while ho is being im? peached. Therefore, if you begin the impeach? ment he will order the army and navy to?d?sperse Congress, and he will seize the reina of Govern? ment. Where ia the remedy? .Here ?tis: Tho House of Representatives, under the Constitution, is tho grand inquest of the nation-perhaps I might say, for illustration, the Grand Jury of the nation. It prepares the biil of impeachment against the President if it soes cause, and it presents the bill of impeachment to'the Senate of the United States, whioh then becomes a high court of impeachment, ; arid the Chief Justice of tho United States Bits in that court as" its presiding officer. It is thus no longer, for. that purpose, the Senate of .the United States, but io is the court of impeachment of tho United Statos. What, shall they do? When the impeachment is ready the Senate sends out its messenger or ser geant-at-arms to bring iu tho criminal, bo hehigh or lbw. (Applause. ) They set him at the bar and read the bill td him. If ho plead guilty, then they pro'ceefl to.senteuco .him, which .Renteuco is a de- ? position and deprivation "of office. When he is : brought ., before the bar tho.Senate of the United 8tates may order.bim to be imprisoned, or to lind bail, or. any other propel^ order that a court may adopt in a criminal case, and when the Constitu? tion provided this mode of trial, did ' s framers moan that a man who is before the Court of Im? peachment as a criminal shall bo at the sr.me time chief executive ofScet^of the government ? By no means. From that moment hfroerscs io bo ablo to exercise tho duties of tbat,.6??oe.?ic.t?l hc.is ac? quitted. And then. comeB-Uie'caSo r^ thc?^al>ill ty of ibo Tn sidcDfc ortho Ut^'uStaA? to exorcise tho office of Pr?sident, so the Vice-Prosident must take the office, and there being no Vice-President, it must devolve on the Tr esident of the Sen? ate for the time being. ?, (.Applause.) ,H' in any of theBe steps, so' taken, according to the Constitution, tho President does not obey as a good citizen the behests of'the'High Court of Impeachment, then that court, like any other court in tho land, oan call upon tho whole body of the people to aid it: iu enforcing its rightful authority. (Applause; ) And now I serve a notice on Andy Johnson tint when a rightful court of the Senate of the United States'calls for aid in their behalf, and tho people of the United States, "the boys in blue" will answer.- We are told that if Congress shall proceed to exercise their rightful authority,'then thero will lae tried the strength of the government, that the Presi? dent Will call upon the army and navy, and tho arm/and navy will oboy. bim. Let there be-no fear "about that, because1 the army and tho navy of tho United States are not those few men that are in tho regular service. (Applause.) I have no desire to disparage eith?r tho patriotism or the integrity of the army of the United States, but if the army, as euch, or If any portion of it, or of any officer of it, shall" ao far forget the du? ties he owea to his flag and $o bis profession as a soldier as to answer any but the legal call of his oountry, that small body of men shall, bo swept from the face of the earth as a cabinet is swept away before the rising of the morning sun. (Pro? longed cheers.) Northern Political Parties Contrasted, EXTRACT F?OW A DEMOCRATIC SPEECH DV HON. S. 8. COX ON TU E CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. New England dare not base it oa a principle. If she disturbs the principle ot population, by which Bbe loses, let her take that-cf suffrage, by which she loses also. And if sho don't like losing, let her have more peoplo and less arrogance. This amendment, instead of Bottling tbs basia, unset ties it, and, besides that, does it in a way so dis? ingenuous as to provoko inquiry into tho senato? rial sj>tem. She might, by disturbing tho equi? poise of the system founded on population in the lower branch, find ber population, which is about equal to New York, for which she las twelve Sen? ators, reduced to two Senators by tu amendment more in consonance with honest;' and equality. This, then, is tho plan which is urged upon tho South. Would the North approve of it if app'ied to themselvet? If this is to be a condition of re? presentation and restoration, it will never bo adopted. If this is to be one ol tho irreversible guarantees whioh time shall never change, irre? vocably written, like a fiat ol' God, then the party who proposo it will have loBt their radicalism winch proposes to progress and attend and roverse -the South, when they adopt it, will have loBt their honor, and the Uuion upon vhich it is made to depend will never have restontion. Thero is but one basis of Union and peace. It is equality. Equality can only bo found in tl? representative baais of population. Our fatherj exhausted re? search ana discussion on thia theno. The Union has grown groat upon this basis. Let those who would change it receive the anathemas of an hon? est and fair-minded peoplo. EXTRACT FROM A RADICAL LETTER. If General Grant is right,' "traason cannot bo made odious or traitors punished," That portion of our Constitution which: defin?s treason and its punishment cannot bo onforced against armed traitors, but romains a dead letter, while protect? ed treason flaunts its blondy defiance in the face of an outraged country. Generbl Grant means to have it understood that the a rintel rebeln around whom ho threw tho protecting cloak of military parole cannot bo tried by n miitary commission or indicted and tried by a civil Jourt. Thero are some bold poople who think that this chief officer of our army, who, when ho arranged the terms of surrender, went as far as pos?iblo toward com? pounding the highest crime kuawn to tho laws of nivilized nations. I think ho is Mistaken when lie assorts that the "couutry gonenlh" approved bis action. I know of at least one set of men who did not "approve generally," and that was tho offi? cers and soldiers of the volunteer anny. Let us take np Un case of R. E. Lee, who is the representative man ol' the rebellion, the "Chev? alin- Bayard," "first gentlonnu of the South," ami, according to rebel parlance, "the soul of honor" and "the Chiiitiiu gentleman." What claim has thia perjured traitor to these high sounding titles ? Did not lii.s country educate and elevate him to an honorable poiition? And when his services were needed to lieip turn the hand of tho assassin from tho life of that country, did he not forsake and lead the army of assassin? against it? About "tbe Christian gentleman," vim per? haps have heard of Audersonville, Belle Isle', Lib? by 1,'rieon, Camp Lav/ion, Salisbury, and .twenty other lie'ls of horror, where moro (lian thirty-five thousand of our soldiers and sailoi's were cruelly and deliberately murdered by starvation, and this "Christian gentleman," who all thc time was near some of the bcenes of these barbarian horrors, never ut tered, so far as we know, ono Word of pro? test against this wholesale niui'der; and yet who doubts that he might, by. an order br request, have Saved tho lives of thousands of our soldiers ? This is tho "Christiam gentloman" who receives' special consideration at tho hands of our Com? mander-in-Chief. Had these rebels conducted their'rebellion so honorably, so humanely, that they Were entitled to the extraordinary conditions given thom by General Grant? Why should not the surrender have been unconditional? Thou thero would have been no difficulty about trying traitors for treason. I want to see at least one traitor tried, convioted and executed, so that futuro generations may know that there is such a crime known to our laws as treason, and that it can be punished. I would not punish the whole race of rebels ex? cept by keepingHhem out of place and power un? til such time as they shall obey present laws, stop shooting Union people, abd' ratify the Constitu? tional Amendment; and, ,when they conduct them? selves like good law-abiding citizens, then it will be time to let ?hem help make- the laws of the country, but not _before. With General Grant's intentions and motives I have nothing to do; it is with his acts and tho effects of some of those acts that I propoee to deal. I have'never known of any "conspiracy to attack him." I do not know that "General Butler is on the Presidential track," aud I am not "his follower," or the follower of any? body oleo. Thus far'iu lifo I have always taken the unwarrantable liberty of thinking for myself, aud shall probably continue, to do so until the end of my earthly existence. RUSH 0.

OUR VENERABLE CONTEMPORARY, tho Charleston Courier, has a happy way of copying articles from newspapers here and there, ?nd making people behove they are tho result of its own prodigious enterprise. We beg to correct such of the publio as mav have been misled by this aptitude in its last issue. The speech of "Wade Hampton," so called by tho Courier (wo call him General iu Co? lumbia), was originally published in the Keowee Courier-not in Charleston. The article entitled "Gubernatorial Appointments" was first pub? lished in the South Carolinian. The "Removal of the Ursuline Academy from Columbi*," loada the publio to suppoae that our aged friend has obtained "news ahead of the maila." But it ia'nt ao. The Ursuline Academy is not to bo removed, is in a remarkably prosper? ous condition, has nearly if not fully ita comple? ment ol' pupils, and coutributoa only two or three ladies from ita rich store of intellectual occu? pants lo go to Alabnma and there establish a branch institution. When tho Courier picks up a stray item like this and adopts'it as an editorial statement, it ia a sign of decrepitude which wo ru gret to see, We sympathise too warmly wjth the ancient Courier to enjoy thone evidences of its fall into the "sere and yellow leaf" of journalism.
