POLITICAL ON DIT.

As April 14th, the day upon which the extra session is to commence, approaches, the talk about the probable doings of the obstreperous Radicals who are kicking against relinquishing their seats becomes more general. They threaten and howl over their coming downfall, and assert that the military arm of the United States must be brought into play before they give up. The hint that another scene like that which transpired January 4th, when Gen. DaTrobriand unseated five members, will be repeated at the State House, and Pitt will have to play the old part against his old coadjutors. Chickens sometimes come home to roost, and if this should fly back it will be amusing to see how the Radicals stand it.
