The radical Position.


Tho New York Euening Post Is the organ Of
tbs Radical factionists. II sets forth their views
fullv from day to day. These may be summed
nm Ia the words of the Garrisonian Apohnop
mo,,c-"No Union with Shareholders" FOR
,he sake Of destroying slavery, they are Wagins
. Gar for the destruction Of the Constitution
and the Union.
This is the true position Of your thorough
going Abolisionist or Emancipationist-h ma'-
ters not by what name he is called lie is ~
heart. and to every intent and purpose, an anti
Copstitutionalst and Disunionst. Ii nesays
be ia for the Constitution aud tho Uniou' IL 10
for the sake Of Disgusting his interior and SET
tied opposition TO both. He pretends TO DC o
Union man and assumes that name that he anu
his co.couspirators may strike more deadly
blovs at the Union, than they could II 'hey
we're TO come out, as they really are, its open
enemiea.
That ve do not misstate the position OIL the
Radical Aboltionists or Emancipationis's, tue
editorial columns of the EueRiNs Post, which
every man will admit TO be good authority
have almost daily for weeks past anorueo
abundant and satisfactory proof. lthas iaeored
earnestly n column after column to prove ina,
while the present difference of social o'Sania''
,iou exists, North and South, there can never
be a peaceable and enduring union Of the two
seotions under one Federal Constitution and
Government, and sets its face In determined
and stern opposition to any attempts to bring
abou. or psrpetuste such union.
In The Post Of the 9Th instant, is sn editorial
srtiole headed "The Illusions Of Hope
What. patriotic reader, who are yourself, per-
happ, in the army, or whose father, son, brother
or other near relative, has gone into it. and per-
haps fallen 10 battling for che supremacy Of
the Constitution and the preservation OF the
Union-what do you imagine 1t Ia that this
leading Republican paper calls the "lllusiors
Of Hope7"
Hear Ii:
Pat slavery out of the way, or in process Of
extinetiop. and there will be no more occasion
for either Abolitionism or secessionism; but
until that il accomplished the feud must con.
tinue-the South will wFsngle, intrigue and
secede. and the North will debate, and argue
and fpht, Il is idle to imagine that systems
OF society so fundamentally adverse as those OF
the slave and tree States can long be kept to-
gather by mere political bonds, without the re-
n,oyal of their discrepancies. We have tried
n for filty years and more; We have lived, con-
seouently, In perpetual hot water; and the fnal
result has been the stupendcus war In which we
are now engaged.
Here then is the plain radical, Abolition pro-
Rramme. The war must be carried on for the
sole purpose of putting "slavery out of the way,
or In process OF extinction" The argumehtis,
that slavery Is the cause OF the rebellion, and
must be exiinguished to put down the present
one and prevent rebellion in future. There
fore. the war must be an anti slavery or an
Abolition war. This is what the Post aud the
radicals mean when they talk about the impos- |
,IbilIty of the North and South living together
under the same Constitution and In The same
UoIon, unless Southern society Ia remodeled
and reconstructed upon new anti slavery
basis
