What fs the Real Position of the Country? Before the secessionists of the South raised the standard of revolt against the govern- ment of the United States and forced the Southern people into rebellion, there were two parties in the country, wide apart in princi- ple, but united on the main object sought to be accomplished by cach—namely, the destruc- tion of the constitution and the disruption of the Union. These parties were the radical abolition fanatics of the North and the radical slavery-extension fire-eators of the South. At that time the seeds of rebellion were sown in the free States by Wendell Phillips, who denounced the constitution of the United States as a league with bell and a covenant with the devil, and by the Jacobins of the Tribune school, who wrote poetry inciting people to “tear down the flaunting lie”—meaning the American flag—and prose, vindicating the sacred right of secession. In the slave States the corresponding work was done by the Yaneeys, Lamars and Rhetis and by such papers as the Charleston Mercury and Rich- mond Enquirer. These same two parties exist to-day ; and as before the war they worked for the same end, the destruction of the Union, so now the war is onded they labor for a common object—to obstruct the restoration of the Union. One of these parties. is repre- | sontod at tho North to-des py Baller, Chandler, Stevens and Phillips, with such men. os Hamil- ton and Brownlow as ae Go n the Sonth; and the other, at the South, by Wade Hamp- ton, Humphreys, Monroe and Dawson, with Fernando Wood, Vallandigham, Hoffman, Sey- mour, Clymer, and the copperhead organs generally, as ihelr allies in the North. Both these parties are engaged In making violent appeals to the passions and prejudices of the people of either section of the Union and in preaching up another rebellion. The Northern wing of the Jacobin army is threat- ening the Impeachment of the President, the seizure of the government by Congress and the destruction of General Grant and the regular army. The Southern and copperhead wing is talking about forcing the members from the ex-rebel States into Congress at the point of the bayonet. So far as any real danger is con- cerned these threats and boastings are mere balderdash and amount to nothing. The people have settled that question very decisively in the recent elections, by declaring in favor of the Congressional solution of the problem of restoration, as embodied in the constitutional, amendment, and by con- firming that policy as a fixed fact during the entire balance of President Johnson's administration. For the impoach- ment of the President the Northern Jacobins could not get thirty votes in the House of Rep- resentatives ; while the original secessionists of the South and their copperhead allies of the North would find it difficult to persuade such « canning political fox as President Johngon to put his head into any trap they could bait for bim, ‘There may be some little risk that the Ben Butler Jacobins on one side and the Monroes and Forrests and Dawsons on the other may incite unthinking people here and there to vio- late the law and create riots, as they did at New Orleans and Memphis; but such out- breaks can only end in unnecessary bloodshed and the slaughter of a few infatuated victims, and they are easily subdued. Something of this kind may spring from the advice of the Northern radicals to the Baltimore Police Commissioners to resist a plain law and rebel against the constitutional authority of the Governor of the State of Mary- land. If so, it will be specdily checked and the guilty parties brought to punishment. Bat so far as any serious trouble to the coun- try may appear to be threatened by the vio- lence of the radicals on either side, the public mind may rest at ease and feel satisfied that it is all balderdash and that the nation was never more secure against any rebellion than it is at the present moment. A political revolution must, however, take place shortly that will mark the lines of par- ties for the next quarter of a century in this country. In the Southern States there will spring up two distinct factions, the one oppos- ing the constitutional amendment, and the other favoring that settlement of the question of restoration. The former will embrace all the old fire-eaters and wornout political hacks who are set aside by the constitutional amend- ment and who desire still to figure on the public stage and feed at the public crib. The latter will comprise the new generation—the young men of the South who went into the war through reckless gallantry, and the quiet, respectable citizens who desire to see peace and prosperity restored to their States. These parties will contend for political mastery at the South’ among themselves, and it is easy to predict which side will win. In the Northern States the lines will {be drawn between the radical Jacobins and the republicans. The former, probably at the next session, or cer- tainly in the next Congress, led by Builer, Phillips and Stevens, will proclaim their pro- gramme of abolishing the constitution, placing the executive as well as legislative power in the hands of Congress, and seizing upon the governments of all the Southern States and holding them as subdued provinces. The republicans will draw off in a distinct conser- vative party against the Jacobin radi- cals, and the late democrats, totally demo- lished and wiped out as an organization in the elections of this year, will select their places in one or other of these new divisions. Even- taally the Southern constitutional amendment party will combine with the republican party and form the great national organization that will elect the next President and rule the na- tion for the next quarter of e century. This breaking up and reformation of politi- cal organizations will be more complete and distinct than anything of the kind that has occurred in this country since the formation of the old republican and federal parties. It will be greater and more sweeping than that, as the nation is more powerful and the issues more vital than they were in those early days of the republic. This is the revolution that is in store for us, It will he a peaceful one; but who can estimate the importance of its results? A Remepy ror Mexico.—It is stated in a Boston paper that the government is ready to adopt # plan to put an end to the Mexican muddle, by paying the French debt, allowing Napoleon to withdraw his troops and accept- ing from Mexico certain territorial acquisitions in Lower California, Sonora, Chihuahua and other Mexican States as an equivalent for our interposition and protection. It is snid that these terms have been agreed upon and will soon be announced. It is a very simple and effective method of settling the Mexican question, and it is the one we have repeatedly urged. It will not be ne- cessary for us, of course, to pay all the claims of France arising ont of the war of usurpation. She would not expect that; hut we might stend a respectable sum, say from fifty to a hundred millions, We need not point out the advan- tages which these northern Mexican Territories would be to us, by putting us in possession of the Gulf of California, with a valuable seaport and naval station on that coast, an inland com- munication with our own mineral Territories, which can now be only réached from the Pacific through Mexican territory, and an opportunity to construct railroad from the navigable waters of the Rio Grande to the head of the Gulf of California. This would be the most splondid as well as the shortest and most economical route to the Pacific. By the line now in course of construction vast expense is involved in tunnelling and bnilding through and over continuous ranges of mountains, while on the line which we suggest through the newly acquired Mexican territory a road can be ran at comparatively small cost over the plains which lie at the southern slope of the mountains, through a country of almost equal temperatore in winter and summer, ind entirely free frow the obstractjons, Of snows and stormé. It would also shorten the travel to the Pacifs by i hundred miles. Then by the accession of these northern Mexican States we obtain the most valuable mineral Innds per- haps on the American continent, which only the enterprise of our people can make available. The railroad alone, with its immense advantages to commerce, which would increase beyond calculation throughout that entire rich gold and silver country, would compensate the United States for the obligations it might un- dertake on behalf ot Mexico. We anticipate, therefore, incalculable bene- fits from this mode of solving the Mexican diff- culty. It is the quickest and most permanent way to rescue that unhappy country from the eternal domestic strife and ultimate rain which threaten it. Mepicat, Apvice ror Canapa.—Canada is running rapidly into political cholera. Her statesmen are all shaking for the future of the colony, and her finances are almost touch- ing bankruptcy. We would advise her to pre- pare If for that course marked out in the last session of Congress. This will be the most perfect cure for her disease. She will have no farther trouble when she is annexed tous, We do not care whether she comes into the Union or not; but ‘as we have sympathy for a sick man, and having just got over our own trowblea, we are moved by compassion to give Canada this medical advice without any charge, as we would like to see Canada on its legs ogain, More of the Last Philndolphia Canard. We published yesterday the confession of Mr. Henry M. Flint, the author of the last Philadelphia canard. He frankly acknow- ledges that he wrote out the bogus questions for the Attorney General and then deliberately attributed them to President Johnson. He says that he was induced to do this by reports of White House conversations communicated to him by two gentlemen who “have a re- markable faculty of being able to get at the truth of almost any alleged matter of Washing- ton news.” We should think so from this specimen! But who are these two men? What are their names? Mr. Flint must come out with another confession and conceal nothing. This halfway business is not at all satisfactory. Mr. Flint corroborates our assertion that the bogus news was first sent from Washington to New York. He says that he sent the des- patch, not to the Philadelphia Ledger, but to “a friend”’—that is to say, a Wall street specula- tor, Here is « direct issue between Mr. Flint find the Ledger. That journal has been trying to make the public believe that the despatch came directly from Washington, at which city it was dated; but Mr. Flint deposes that this “is not the fact.” The proprietor of the Ledger is a gentleman whose reputation has always been extremely good and whose honesty, candor and truthfulness we should be the last to question. Mr. Flint is a person whose reputation for accuracy and veracity was rather bad during the war; but he may have turned over a new leaf since. He and the Ledger must settle this difference about New York between them. We presume that after Mr. Flint had manu- factured his canard at Washington he sent it on to this city to be used for gold gambling purposes, like the bogus proclamation of Howard. The gold gamblers then looked about for some paper that would be green enough to print the canard and respectable enough to give it some appearance of authenticity, They knew that they could not get it into any of the New York papers, except the Tribune, and they also knew that it would secure no belief and create no sensation if published in the Tribune, because of the notorious partisanship of that paper. After due reflection they selected the quiet, sober, demure, respectable, conserva- tive, Quakerish Philadelphia Zedger as their victim, and the Ledger eagerly swallowed the bait, hook, line, bob, sinker and ail, An ex- planation ought to be given, however, as to how the Ledger people came to place so much reliance upon a Washington despatch sent from New York. We need light, also, as to the connection of the Associated Press with this matter. Why was the bogus news telegraphed all over the couatry without sending an in- quiry to Washington to learn if it were true? | Why was not the bogus news sent to the Wash- ington papers as well as to those of other cities? Was anybody afraid that the canard might be exposed if it were allowed to reach Washington that night? Mr. Craig, the agent of the Associated Press, is responsible for this part of the affair, either directly or through the subordinate agents whom he has employed. We believe that there was an immense gold gambling scheme and swindle under’ this canard, and we want to get hold of its authors. With this view we Call upon Flint, Craig and the Ledger for additional confessions, explana- tions, statements, facts end apologies. Accipzyts ro Srreer Passenorrs.—The in- crease in the number of accidents resulting from the crowded condition of our thorough- fares is daily forcing itself more painfully on our attention. It was only yesterday that we saw an elderly gentleman knocked down and nearly killed by a horse and wagon in front of our office, To cross the street in Broadway or in any.of the thoroughfares leading to the ferries is about as perilous ani undertaking as any that we know of. Something must he done, and that promptly, to diminish the-risk. It will not do for us to trust any longer to “gen- tlemanly. policemen” and accident insurance companies to guarantee us against it. There is much that the city and police authorities might do in the way of prevention if they would. For instance, they might regulate the speed at which vehicles are driven. It has been decided scores of times hy the courts that foot passengers have the right of way at the street crossings, and drivers of vehicles should be made to acknowledge that right and regu- late the speed of their horses accordingly. In some of the Western cities ordinances are in force which compel the drivers of carts, trucks, stages and other vehicles to keep fifteen feet apart at the street crossings. We do not say that a regulation of this kind would be entirely practicable in New York; but such & modification of it might be adopted as would be suited to our overcrowded condition. The iraffle of our city bas become so enormous that we admit (hat it is difficult to prevent accidents in the central portion of ovr theronglfares; but we cannot see that the same difficulty exists in regard to the sidewalks and crossings, All that is wanted is stringent police regulations, with a sufficient number of mon to enforce them. Why they are not employed is a puzzle to those who have seen how these things are matted elsewhere, Even here we are con. they are not wanted and of their ola bbing inof- fensive people for obstructions of the thoréiigh- faves, when these obstructions amount merely to a temporary loitering on the sidewalks. Cannot the Police Commissioners see in the serfous and freqnently fatal accidents that ocour from fast driving over the crossings and through the streets generally a more legitimate field for the exercise of this severity? By some means or other the evil must be pata stop to, or it will be no longer safe to walk the streets. A Great Dra. or Fuss Apour Nommmo.— The Washington newspaper correspondents are continually circulating rumors about Secretary Stanton going to resign, to be removed, to be minister to Spain, and then again that he is not going to leave the War Department, is not going to Spain, and so forth. This is making a great deal of fuss about nothing. As the war is over the department can get along very well without Mr. Stanton. In peace times it is 9 sort of selfacting machine, and a few clerks can do the business. It is of no consequence, therefore, whether Mr. Stanton goes or stays. Nor do the people care whether he goes to Spain or not: For bis own safety and to save himself from the embarrassment of a bundred prosecutions or law suits which the victims of his despotism are ready to commence, it might be prudent in him to leave the country aad gg charitable on the part of the President to send | Every paper, except the Tribune, publishes the him away.

Wenpstt, Pamuirs anp His Naw Jacosin Scuzmz.—Wendell Phillips, the pioneer of the ultra Jacobin faction, has from Tremont Temple, Boston, just proclaimed his new Jacobin scheine of revolution and reconstruc- tion. Upon the theory that President Johnson has entered into conspiracy with the late rebels of the South, whereby they are to se- cure, through diplomacy, the control of the government which they lost in their appeal to arms, Phillips proposes that Congress shall try the old English experiment of the Long Parliament against the King, and that their “very first act must be to impeach the Presi- dent of the United States.” They must not only do this, “but while the ‘rial is going for- ward they must remove him from his office. Impeachment is worth nothing without the re- moval of the President until his guilt or inno- cence is declared.” In other words, the plan of Phillips is to apply the punishment first and have the trial afterwards. He seems to forget that while a public officer is on trial the duties of his office pro tem. must necessarily be turned over to some other person. But Phillips cares very litile for precedents, usages or common sense in the prosecution of his revolutionary projects. He stikes for the shortest route, He is disgusted that Congress so far has hesi- tated to follow him, and is even more dis- gusted that Genera! Grant has.remaincd in ser- vice under Andrew Jobnson. Grant is dis- graced in the judgment of Phillips, and ow only safety is in the prosecution of the war os between Parliament and King to the removal of the King and till Parliament shall have finished its appointed work of reconstruction according to the radical Jacobin programme. Here begins the new conflict between the conservative republicans adhering to the ulti- matum of the constitutional amendment and the radical Jacobins, a conflict which must re- sult in the complete weeding out of the Jacobins from the republican councils of Con- gress and in the reorganization of the party on a solid conservative platform, with General Grant as the party candidate for the next Presidency. Baron vox Horrman ap THe Rivo.—The rump newspaper organ of the democracy de- clares in not very classical or refined language that itis “a lie” to eay that the Baron von Hoffman belongs to the Corporation “ring,” and that all are “liars” who assert that the Baron von Hoffman is the agent or representa- tive of the Vorporation “ring” and owes bis nomination to the Corporation “ring.” The rump organ had better wash out iis mouth and look at the Baron von Hoffman’s record, and there it will find that the Barpn von Hoffm:n, since he has held the office. of Mayor, has ap- proved aad signed ali the jobs in leases, con- tracis, &c., passod by the Corporation “ring,” and has confined bis vetoes to any undertaking | ‘beother prisoner, who also pleaded that took the character of a public improve- ment. It will be useless for tha.rump organ to get angry and call bad names and yse vulger language, in view of the Baron von Hoffman’s record, and in view, too, of \”» fact that fhe Corporation “ring” secured his nomination and that leading members of the Corporation “ring” travelled through the State befote the democratic State Convention was held, striv- ing to “fix” outside districts for the Baron von Hoffman. tis the first time the people of the State at large bave been called upon to ex- press through the ballot box their opinion of the band of Forty Thieves who have governed the city of New York for the past ten years; and we hope their interference will be so effectual thatit will be the last time as well. Ixpecent Exarerfron at Nrto’'s.—Niblo’s theatre has capped the climax of indecency in the way of public amusement. Nothing in this city nor in any other that we know of has ever approached the nightly exhibition there of women in almost a nude state. The con- cert saloons, which have become so notori- ously immoral that the police are compelled to make a descent on them sometimes, have no such disgraceful scenes, The ballet, as it is called, at Nibto’s is not a bit more decent than the model artisis, and ought to be called an exbiLition of model artists. The city is dis- graced by such’ disgusting scenes, and the authorities are guilty of gross neglect of duty fo permitting them. Mayor Hoffman, who should he the conservator of the public morals of the city ag far as possible, ought to suppress the evil at once. He cannot plead ignorance of its existence, for he was at the performance and was compelled to leave in disgust in the second act. The manager, the women and all connected with the establishment ought to be arrested and punished for their public and gross violation of decency. We call upon the Mayor and the police, in the name of an out- raged community, to do their duty. _ Cuarors Acarxst Tak Fie Commisstoyers.— It is said that Governor Fenton has in his pos- session certain charges of fraud and malfeas- see netfosned eqalaet be repnlicen Board of Fire Commissioners. Some of these charges are very curious, especially those relating to tne 39bs for building the steam fire engines. Why dead hot Governor Fenton make them public? He gave publication and circulation to the charges made against the democratic Street Commissioner. Why does he hold back the charges made against his own Fire Com- missioners? This is not playing fair. Indeed, it is very unfair and partisan conduct and looks like a political trick. We have got the substance of the charges to which we allude, but we want to hold Governor Fenton up to his duty and to make him play fair. He has been in a hurry to publish the charges made against Street Commissioner Cornell, and now we call upon bim to make public those pre- ferred against the Board of Fire Commis- sioners. A Potarican Straw.—Wendell Phillips, who is the thinking man of the radical party, and who always speaks out plainly what be means, follows up the attack upon General Grant com- menced by Ben Butler, Jack Hamilton and smaller lights some weeks since. In his Boston specch he assailed General Grant as being re- sponsible for the riots in New Orleans, and de- clared that the Union commander occupied a “humiliating position.” In the Associated Press report of this passage in the radical leaders speech it Is said (hat hie allusion to ithe General repeived “appinusy and Alera” Forney 1 4 Fury.—Over the reported in- tention of Governor Swann, of Maryland, to remove the radical Police Commissioners of Baltimore, who are charged with the execution of the Registry law, Forney has become per- fectly furious and threatens a civil war in Maryland. He charges that the Governor haa gone over to the rebels, that his purpose is to put in a set of Police Commissioners who will open the polls of Baltimore to the rebels ex- cluded by law and that his purpose is to se- cure two or three rebels to Congress. This radical hue and cry against Governor Swann is, however, very abeurd. He has the power to remove the Baltimore Police Commissioners, and against the exercise of this power a civil war will be only the foolish experiment of Jeff Davis & Company over again on a emall acale, and it will have to be put down in the same way. On the other hand, supposing that Gov- ernor Swann does put in a set of Commission- ers who will open the polls to rebels not au- thorized by law to vote, and suppose that two or three rebels are thus returned to Congress, what then? ‘They will be sent back home again as men illegally chosen and therefore not “duly elected” as members of Congress. In Missouri, where the State laws and authori- ties are all nicely working together for the radicals, they are all right; but in Maryland, where the Governor, it is feared, may turn the law against the radicals, they threaten civil war, This will never do. Forney is in too much of a fluster. He ought to remember that “sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” and that the doctor ought not to object to his own medicine. CANADA. SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.
