There, you can the Northern States. *1 hey despair ol look and behold the reasons, for your controlling any longer the white vote o f «elves. The Radical Congress lias the country- They s^ck no longer to k lied the life, the hope and the p«»r- govern this great Republic by the white e r ty o fth e moat fruitful portion o fth e m in's ii.fi'ience. They yield all that to the Demcratic party, and deimunc» Republic. Once it poured into the lap o f a fos a wbi e man’s party as ail iii'olerabh B ill with seve ty neg'o elec t*ring and pr -tecting government a offense. -tieam of treasure as deep and stioug total Votes, and to them added the votes •s the current o f its own Mia issippi.— o f Tennessee aud Missouri, bastard off Now it hangs like a para I ¡zed limb. » spring- o f flic biyonet, they are prepar. helpless in uniberjiice, a po -r pe nsion ing to rob the people o f their most sa er and burden upon the patience and cred r'glits. and openly defy the legal bounty o f the rest of the body It's ly expressed public w ii1. The act ot fields are smitten with an unnatural reconstruction i s , unconstitutional, it sterility. Every production has wither there is a Constitution in the bin 1 ; it is ed an 1 died, as if some Upa-» tree had a fraud o.n the purposes and objects of ca-t it's shadow over all. A fatal an > the war. i f that word has not lost all desolating blight is “ upon the land, its meaning; it is upheld by perjury upon the mountains, and upon the and juress. if there be such a crim e; corn, and upon the new wine, and upon and yet we are expected to quietly the oil, and upon that which the ground yield to its claim, th it the negro shall bringeth forth, and upon men, and make the next President* upon cattle, and upon the labor o f the hands.” In her ancient glory and strength she could meet one half the taxation which darkens the face o f the land — She could take from y.u r shoulders one half the load which now bends you to the ground. The South, in a ruitnr al condition o f prosperity— the child o f protection in place o f oppression—»an object o f love, and not o f hate, spolia tion and vengeance on the part of tne government, cou'd pay two hundred and fifty millions a year,-as her »hare o f the public revenue. Under the present murderous policy, however, toward her, it costs two hun dred and fifty millions a year to govern, crush, and destroy her— making a difference o f five hundred millions, an amount utmost equal to the entire ex pense o fth e Government The rad ical policy has not only set fire and con sumed one half o f the granaries, the stacks and harvest fields of the Unite«) States, but it likewise taxes what is left to keep a standing army over the ghastly and smouldering ruins it has made. But 1 may be told that the destruct ion of slavery is the cause o f the de struction or so much wealth ; that the figures which l have produced from the oensus o f 1860 were based upon slave labor. A t that time the South contained u white population o f 4,604,- 000. There that population, trained to labor, 'remain« to day. T h e ravages o f war and the results o f eiaaneipution have hue* made up, or nearly so, by T kn D ays t .» N ew Y ork E xcuse . — Since the God and the moralityiles accuse Dem ocru's o f doing the whi-key drinking, the only fe .sible excuse they cun offer f. r nominating a beastly druukard Presidency would bo that with a view k e s u l t o f for the they did it to cutchihg Democratic votes. The Oregonian says that the Dem o crats bought up on election day. at a cost ol many thousand dollars, all the ruff- scuff aud bummers o f Portland to vo:c the Democatic ticket. It follows then that all the “ harduns ” o f Portland are R e publicans, else there had been no use IM P E A C H M E N T , The verdict o f the Senate on the only article o f impeachment that has >et hem pronounce'! upon, has taken the Radicals completely aback. Iu spite o fth e scandalous intimidation practiced by the foes of* the President outside the Senate chamber, in spite, too. o f Ben. Wade’s judicial and self electing vote a number o f Republicans, sufficient to prevent conviction, have had the hon esty aud courage to voto according to dictates o f their consciences. In xheir dire dismay at so unlooked for a result, the majority ot the court did not venture to let a verdict bo given on the remain- ing charges, but adjourned in hot haste until arter the Chicago Convention, apparently to try what influence that may have in convincing the minority o fth e President's guilt. T h e Radical S«Miators cannot forget their party tricks, even when they have to ttssume tbe role o f judges. Congress has ah ready shown its disregard for the sanc tity o f a court o f justice by the infa mous attempts o f some ot its ni'-utbers to bully Seators info a conviction, and now tbe Senate itself all but fonoallv recognizes party influence qwtlie guide of its judgement. The judges now poa sess all t ly information necessary for forming a correct judgment— the ca>e has been already ooueluJed, and there is no rcasou why the verdict should he postponed, except to bring outside pressure to bear upon the Seuators who have dared to vote according to their convictions. Such a gross prostitution o f justice to party must meet the hearty condemnation o f honest men o f every shade o f politics, and effictu d ly stops the Radical boasting impartiality o f the Senate. Still we do not believe that all the intrigues and rascality o f the President's foes can prevent his tri utnphaut accquittal. The Radicals made a terrible blunder in commencing impeachment at. all, but they are mak- ing matters a hundred times worse for themselves by th »ir present conduct. W h ile the best aud most hqjugsL mem bets of their party have hern ostracised by their more violent or less scrupulous co'leagues. the partp thus divided has now to commence the Presidential campaign with the stigma o f an unsuc cessful attempt to trample upon the laws o f the country and the principles <»f justice, and with nil the discourage- un*nt o f a defeat. Not all tbe negro votes o fth e newly admitted States can prolong the Radical regime in the* face <*f the reaction which the conduct o f its representatives must excite through, out the nation. Even Grant, their • hosen candidate, is said to have hesi tated to accept the Presidential eoniina tion at their hands, and nothing but the grossest blundering on the part o f the Democrats can prevent them from -weeping th-* country next fall. The moderate Republicans can scarcely continue to act with a party w hich has m t É M A Trie Preset. 1JÎ On a cerili© occasion Daniel Web ster, the great apostle of the Cooatita- tio© and the Union, speaking of the Abolition party, said ; “ H T T H E IN F E R N A L JTASIAT ICS AND .ABO LITIO N ISTS EVER GET POW ER IN T H E IR IJA&>8, TH E Y W IL L O VERRID E T H E C O N STITU TIO N SET T H E SU PREME COURT A T DEFIANCE, CHANGE AND M A K E LA W S Ï4 ) SU IT THEMSELVES, L A Y V IO LE N T HANDS ON THOSE W HO DIFFER W IT H T H E M H N T H E fR O PINIO NS O R D ARK QUESTION T H E IR IN F A L L IB IL IT Y , AND F I N A L L Y B A N K R U P T THE COUNTRY A N D DELUGE I T W ITH BLOOD."
