MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1867, Tho Coming Political Revolution—Ite Cause and Its Obiect. The people are just beginning to understand the true character of the radical republican plan of reconstruction. Up to this time they have been deceived as to the real intentions of the revolutionary majority in Congress, and have supposed them to be actuated by an honest desire to re-establish the Union upon the broad basis of universal suffrage and the guar- antee of civil rights to all citizens, independent ofcolor. The elections of 1865 and 1866 were carried by the republicans upon this distinct platform. On no other issue could they have so completely ewept all the loyal States and secured their present overpowering majority in the House of Representatives at Washington. The truth of this is established by the resolu- tions adopted by the republican nominating conventions and National Committee pending the popular elections of the past two years. In 1865 the democrats attempted to create a re- action in their favor by endorsing tbe recon- struction policy of President Johnson, and en- deavoring to convict the republicans, upon the evidence of the speeches of some of the violent radical politicians of their party, of unfriendli- ness towards the administration. Tho republi- cans denied the justice of this imputation, and in their platforms took especial pains to show that it was unwarranted. Their principal ap- peal to the people for support was based upon the argument that, as the political associates of the President, they could be more safely relied upon as his friends than could the members of an organization that had been accustom ‘d to oppose and denounce his acts. The Republi- can Convention in this State, held in Syracuse on September 20, 1865, resolved, among other things, “that we approve, as eminently wise and just, the sentiments of kindness an] confi- dence which President Johnson has evincod towards those of the communities and individ- uals lately in rebellion who accept the perpetu- ation of the Union and the perpetual prohibi- tion of slavery as the legitimate and irrever- sible results of the war; that we approve the initial steps he has taken towards relaxing the bonds of the military author:ty in the Southern States, and in restoring to their people ful: and complete control over their local affairs just so soon as may be found compatible with the pre- servation of order, &., * * * and that in all the measures he may adopt tending to the attaininment of thos. just and beneficent ends we pledge bim our cordial and hearty sup- port.” The party platforms in the other States were not less emphatic than that of the New York republicans in their endorsement of President Johason’s endeavors to remove mili- tary rule as speedily as possible from the South and restore the States to the rights of civil government, Before the fall elections of 1866 came round there had been an open rupture between Congress aud the President. Violent speeches were made upon the floor of the Senate and the Hous», some looking to confiscation as a punishment for ihe rebels, and others to impeachm:nt as a revenge against the President’ The pradent men on tbe republican side, understanding upon what issue they had carried their S ates in the preceding year, rebuked and checked the ultraism of tueir reckless associates, The South was still out of the Union, and no steps had been taken toward practical reconstruc- tion. Conservative Congressmen saw that to go betore the country only upon the issue of a heated quarrel with the Executive, without putting Congress in the right by offering on its part a practical method of reconsiruction to the country, would be to rush on political destruction. They, therefore, carried torough both honses the constitutional amendment, the gist and substance of which was, that “when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and jadicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereot, is de- nied to any of the male inhabitants of such State” on account of color, then “the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in pro- por.ion” to the number of male citizens thus disfranchised. The National Union Commit- tee, in an address issued to the American peo- ple, warmly endorsed this princ ple of recon- siruc.ion, explamiog its intent and meaning in these “words:—“*A State which chooses to hold part of its population ia ignorance and vassalage—powerless, uneducated, unfran- chised—shall not count that portion to bal- ance the educated, intelligent, enfranchised ci.izens of other States.” The republicans of New York, in convention at Syracuse on the 5:h of September, resolved “that the pending amendment to the constitution proposed by Congress, which defines citizenship in the United Siates and the civil rights of citizens, and which equalizes national representation among the several States, &c., * * * commends itself by its justice, humanity and moderation to every patriotic heart; and that whenever any of the late insurgent States shall adopt such amendment, such State should at once, by its loyal representatives, be permitted to resume its place in Congress.” These were the issues upon which the re- publican party carried the elections all over the North in 1865 and 1866 ; first, as the advocates of a speedy removal of military rule from the South and the restoration of the Southern States to their civil rights ; and next, on a pro- posed plan of reconstruction admitting the Southern States as soon as they adopted a cons itutional amendment which left to them the right enjoyed by every other State to make their own laws regarding suffrage, but pro- viding that wherever the colored population should be disfranchised they should not be enu- merated as a basis of representation. If the republicans had declared in either of those years that they were in favor of placing a per- manent military government over the South, and of preventiog the readmission of any un- reconstructed Siate to its position in the Union unless it should return with a registered ma- jority of negro voters, the popular verdict would have been as emphatic aga.nst them as it was in their favor, Subsequent events have proved that in both these elections the people were defrauded out of their votes under false pretences. The revo- lutionary Congress has paid no heed to the constitutional amendmeat, so universally en- dorsed by the people of the North; but, on the plea of confining the right of euffrage to the “Joyal men” of the South, have put that section of the country under the rule of five military kings, ignored the executive branch of the government, and laid the foundation for negro supremacy in al! the uoreconstructed States. Atthe same time itis well known that the blacks of the South were just as much rebels asthe whites. The whites fought for four years, but they could not have done so without the aid and assistance of the three or four million Regroes who took care of their families, worked in the fields and raised provisions during their absence at the war, or followed the army, dig- ging trenches, building earthworks, acting as scouts and spies, and doing a great share of the hardest work of active service. As the war progressed and drew near its ter- mination the whites got tired of fight- ing, and, according to Jeff Davis, two- thirds of them deserted and returned to their homes. The blacks remained true when the whites thus fell from their allegiance, and were, therefore, the worst rebels of the confederacy; yet, by a miserable and contemptible trick, the revolutionists of Congress seck to eniranchise all the black rebels of the South and to dis- franchise only the white rebels, in order that they may secure a negro voting majority in the Southern States. As we have said, the people are just begin- ning to understand the real objects of the 1epublican leaders and are preparing to sweep them from power. The overthrow in Calitor- nia, and the result, nearly as disastrous, in Maine, are only the foreshadowings of what will follow in New York, Pennsylvania and other States. It is folly to talk of these popu- lar revulsions as demo.ratic victorics, Jeff Davis’ exploded confederacy might just as well claim them as triumphs of the principle of secession. The old democracy and the old confederacy were twin bro'!he s, and both were bu ied by the surrender of Lee’s army beyond the hope of resurrect.on, These uprisings of the people are independent of all parties, and they are designed to rebuke a svt of revolu tionary leaders who have deceived the conn- try; to denounce the distinction that has been made between black rebels and white rebels, and to defeat the conspiracy which secks to rule the nat’on by the corrupt aid of the national banks and the united votes of Puri- tans and n-groes, A Copperhead Organ on National Finance. The World devot:s nearly two columns of ed torial to General Butier’s views on our national finances It makes a labored but weak def nee of the finincial policy of Mr. Chase and bis partisans, of McCulloch, Jay Cooke, the nation 1 bankers, he bondholders, and all who propose to perpetuate the debt, to force specie yaymea's, to increase th» burdens of the people and to elevate Mr. Chase to the Presidency. It would seem a sivarge postion for this copperhead organ to take, it we did not know the flexibility of its priaciples and had not the best reasons to believe it yields to mor substan ial argum -nis than words furnisb,. The Courier and Enquirer ot this city turned over in one day,in the war between the old United States Bank and General Jackson, from the Presijent to the bank, under the pressur: o! Nick Biddle’s check for fi.ty-iwo thousand dol- lars. That was the poweriul argument that changed its course within a few hours. Tue World not long ago saw things ia a different light to what it does now. How much was the amou.t of the argument use! by Chase and his friends, or by the bondholders and the national banks, to cause this summersault? Fifty thou- sand do!lara appears to bs aneatround sum for such feats of the press. It was about that in the case of the Courier and Enquirer referred to ; half that amount, in gold, was used by the rebels during the war upon another copperhvad jour nal of this city. Was that the argument in this case, or wis it more or less? Let us have light upon the question. The democratic party, of which the paper mentioned assumes to be an organ, has been through all its bistory opposed to a moneyed o.igarchy, monopolies affil the perpetuation of a natonal debt. The views General Butler ex- presse, in opposition to the policy of the re- publicans represen ed by Mr. Chase, and of the old whig and federalis: policy, which are iden- tical, he learned as a dsmocrat. Tuough radi cal enough in other (hings, he has not for zotten the financial lessons of the party to which he formerly belonged. He says he differs with the views expressed by tlie great leader of the Western democrats, Mr. Pendleton, ot Ohio; but there is really little differeace between thom Tuis he srid, doubtless, to save himse‘f wih the radical parly, knowing all the while that the difference was about a8 much as botween tweedledum and tweedled+e. However, we w.ll not dispute with General Butler on this point, as he has been bold and sensible eaoush to assail the infamous national bank monopoly and the moneyed oligarchy, which woald per- petuate our burdens and force repudiation upon the country. But why did not the cop- perhead organ attack Mr. Pen ileton, who went as far or farther than Gen>ral Butler in oppo- sition to the Chase financiers and in favor of paying the national debt as soon as possible with the same money in which it was con- tracted? Does it expect to ride two horses at the same time—to be the organ of Chase and his radical monopolists and the organ of the democratic party at the same time? There is no disposition in any party or among the mass of the people to repudiate the na- tional debt, and all the balderdash uttered about repudiation is for the purpose of cheat- ing the public into measures favoring the bond- holding and national bank monopolis's. Repu- diation can come only in one way, and that is by increasing the burdens of the people throngh forcing specie payments, perpetuating the debt, and legislating in favor of capital and the bondholders at the cost of the industrious classes. The way to avoid repudiation has been pointed out by General Butler, Mr, Pen- dieton and others—the way that we have pointed out all along—and that is, to pay off the debt with an abundant currency, While the people have the means of paying—before a contracted currency reduces their means; to tax the wealth of the bondholders as other property is taxed; to issue legal tenders in the place of the national bank currency, and there- by cancel three or four hundred millions of the interest bearing debt and save twenty-five to thirty millions a year, and to reduce the ex- penditures of the government as much aa pos- sible. But in order to accomplish this we must have McCulloch and all the other Chase finan- ciers and politicians removed from the Trea- sury Department and a statesman for Secretary ofthe Treasury. That is the way to avoid re- pudiation. It is absurd to talk about the faith of the government being violated by paying the debt in currency, except where it is ex- ressly stipulated that it shall be paid in ‘ dpecie. Could not Mr. MeQulloch turn bis han- dred millions of gold in the Treasury into currency, and with that buy up five-twenties at the current market price, which is about » hun- dred and fourteen? Are we bound to make these five-twenties par value in gold before buying them up? Why should the people pay a hun- dred in gold for every fifty or sixty dollars loaned in paper? There is neither law nor equity in such @ proposition, The masses of the people, whether democrats or republicans, and least of all the democrats, will never con- sent to the ruinous policy of Chase, McCul- loch, Jay Cooke and their partisans Popular sentiment everywhere is grow- ing mightily against this combination of politicians, national banks, bondholders, mono- polists, a moneyed oligarchy and a corrupt press, We may learn from the utterances of leading public men of all parties and sec- tions—of such men as Butler, Pendleton, Thad -Stevens and others—which way the tide ia turning. We are on the eve, evidently, of a -thorough reform in our financial policy—a reform that will bury the bullionists of the old school and the moneyed oligarchy, and will be based upon the interests of the industrious and productive classes, f the Poli- Ignorance and Miscalculat ticlans. The radicals and their opponents are making sad m stakes in their political management. For the iormer there is now but one hope, and they cling to this with desperate energy. This hope is Mr. Johnson. In his political existence they find radical salvation, and hold firmly to bim to-day as the focus of their orbit. Without him the great revolutionary party which now rules would split in fragments ; for there exist now such elemcnis of dissension in their ranks that even with Andrew Johnson aga centre they find it hard to hold toge'her. When Con- gress mevts the Hous» of Representatives will undoubtedly Impeach him; but the Senate bas no such idea, and is too much impressed with +tie value of the Execu- tivs in his present position to wreck i's political fortune upon the impeachment rock. Congress, however, will fail in pre- serving its power, even in this way; for it forgets that behind the President, belind the lozislitive power, behind the constitution, stan ls the great fundamental principle of our gov ‘roment—the people. Mr. Johasoa, in his policy, commits a no less grievous error than the Congre:s which he now battles, an! with which he refnses to harmon’z2. Both he and Congress, contestants for ‘he absorption of power in a single branch of ‘he governm:n', will not listen to the voice of reason and unite in a policy which will quict turmoil and give the country rest. Thus far Congress haz beat the Presilent in revolu- tioniry plotings. It has aimed bolder biows than he at tho constitution, and one of i's principal le.d ra has even told us that it in'ented its com 1:te overthrow. But Con- ges3 and the Presi {ent both marc’: to pol'tic:1 ce traction, both tail throngs tho sam: mis- crculation of the poli ical equation; both wil } come to grief when they are weighed in the republican seis by th» power that st Il con- trols the conntry--the people. Mr. Johnson long since shouid have invoked ths great heart of the country agaiast the mii revolutionists wo, forget ing all but personul ambition, would pluage us inio anarc.y. Tue time is rapidly approachiny when it will be too late. He who holds tie helm wavers, and unless he more fi mly guides us ina cr-at popular reaction he will go down with Consress. The force of the great election whch will soon take plaice ‘broughout the nation both Congress and the President fail to comprehend. They do not appear to unders and that the people rale, and give ideas to their rulers througa the press of the coun'ry. They have in tugir revolutionary desires forgot en this fact, and fancy, on tue con- trary, that the rulers are made to give ideas to the people. They are looking for precedsnts to the Old Worll. They look to Rome under the re ublic, and think that the same fortune awaits the revolationis's here as there. Not oaly in Rome, butin all the governments of Europe—repubiicin or monare vical—thought snd its proluct, governm:nt, have proceeded from the rulers Tuey do not work with our mich nery, and the foundation of power rests ‘n ambitious and diring brains, not in the peopl: whom they sway. Here the picture is reversed, anl th» combined and compared thoughts of the people through the press are the g-eat controlling power and’ the one to which -every successful politician must bend. We plics a representative in his chair to represent th» people, and not himself. He is simply a machine and the exponent of the thoughts of the people. The more intelligent he may be the better can be grasp the wishes of the people and do their bidding. If he dare opposs tueir will he is lost ; for revolutions s are not yet wanted. Let both the Pres defit and Congress appre- ciate these simple facts. Let them, through the press, study the desire of the common sense of the country. Let them understand that there is but one great element of revolutionary power in the United States, and that a,peaceful elec- tion. Let them, basing their action on all this, cease their revolutionary plottings and try and represent the country. If they do not they will raise a revolution in the nex election that will topple over Congress, the President, the mili- tary dictators and the negro. The War in South America, We published yesterday a batch of interest- ing news from Brazil and Buenos Ayres relative to the war going on between Brazil, with her allies, and Paraguay. The dates are up to Angust 8. The old story is told of Brazilian reverses, and there is no doubt that Paraguay continues successful in her heroic resistance to the empira and its republican allies. After untold expense and the loss of sixty thousand men buried, Brazil is apparently as far from conquering Lopez as ever. It is not only the brave old Dictator of Paraguay and his brave troops—very much fewer in number than their enemy—that defeat the Brazilians, but the country, the soil, the climate, the rivers and swamps fight against them. These latest ac- counts from the seat of war represent the Brazilians as having suffered terribly in con- flict both with tho troops of Lopez and the difficulties of the country. Brazil had better give up this unwise war, for every step she takes she gets into greater difficulty. On her part it is simply war of ambition, and she deserves the reverses sho meets with. It is « uscless and cruel effusion of blood for an unworthy object, and with no prospect of success. ‘Wendell Phillips in a New Ra’ Wendell Phillips has suddenly and 0."° Pectedly come out in a new réle, Herotofor.? his mind ran upon nothing but the negro. Cuffee was great and Wendell was his Prophet. He has had, however, a new dispen- sation, in which he expresses himself more rationally and soundly than when discussing the inevitable negro. The finances of the country are beginning to claim his attention, and his first utterances in this, to him, new réle, show that he is not in all things the extreme radical he has been heretofore repre- sented. He will have nothing to do with the underworkings of the Jay Cooke clique, or moneyed wing of the republican party, who would take up Sultan Chase as our next Preai- dent, He is opposed to the succession to the White House of the great Sardanapalus of the Treasury, with bis extensive harem, at the capital. He would not subject the country to the rule of Jay Cooke and the tribe of financial Kings that Warwick Chase has created. Like Ben Butler, Wendell Phillips is only radical in some things, His radicalism gonsists in his advocacy of negro supremacy and his opposi- tion to President Johngon. On other subjects he has his lucid moments and can discuss them temperately and sensibly. He now comes out and insists that the financial obliga- tions of the government, be they what they may, must be kept, and declares that that party must go to the bottom that will under- take to skulk from the fulfilment of those obli- gations under any pretence whatever. We hail this appearance of Mr. Phillips with Ben Butler in a new réle as a healthful sign of the times. THE PARAGUAYAN WAR. BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
