Radical Inconsistency aud NV.
pOcrisy.

Three years ago, we had, as tho radi
cal leaders have constantly asserted,
"the best government the sun ever shone
upon" That National Government had
existed for over seventy years. 1t owed
its existence to, and derived its authority
from the National Constitution adopted
by the States and the people. The enor-
nifty Of the rebellion consists, as the
radicals constantly assert, in the attempt
to overthrow the " best govesnment."
But mark the inconsistency Of these
same radical rcvolutionists While in
one breath they extol the excellence and
superiority Of our National Government,
in another they decry it as having tolera-
ted one Of the worst forms of despotism,
and as having nursed an infant demon OF
revolution and anarchy into activity and
gigantic strength. They assert that our
National Constitution was so formed,
and our Government go organized under
it, that minority section Of the Union
handful of aristocrats, as they denomi-
nate Sou bern slave. .holders--had ruled
the country during the seventy years Of
our National existence as with rod of
iron--that during that time, we had, in
consequence, no genuine peace or real
prosperity, and that in fine, our Govern
ment, so far from being the best, was in
truth, the worst "tbe sun ever shone up
on"
The object of the radical Jacobins in
these contradictory statements is trans
| Ill ha hvv
talk about "this internal rebellion against
the best government in the world, "
while they themselves are secretly plot
ting and conspiring for its DISTINCTION
When they want to excite the masses OF
the Northern people to madness, in order
that they may be able to carry out their
plans for the overthrow OF the State gov
ernments and the subjection of the people
to consolidated despotism like that Of
France or Russia, they pirate about the
"best government" and the awful crime
of any opposition to their pet measures
sustaining it.
But in the mean time, as q necessary
instrument to their ultimate success, they
are insidiously sowing the seeds of dislike
and hatred to that old Government Of
seventy years standing, in order to edu-
cate the masses of the people up to the
point that they will not only not desire,
but violently oppose the restoration or the
retaining Of that old best Government.
The Jacobins have already, as they imag
inc, got the mass of the Northern people
committed to the idea that Washington
and the fathers, in establishing our Ma
tional Government, committed one grea
error-a fatal error that has brought up
on us, as these Jacobins allege. this ter
rible civil war with all its awful horror
its slaughter, misery and desolation.-
All these things, they say, are due to tn
original sin of the fathers in setting vi
that old Government upon the basis o
the Constitution.
In order to bamboozle the people into
the support of their leaders and measures
the Jacobin "Unionists" extol the Gov
ernment to the highest pitch in one breath
and in the next degrade it to the loves
depth. Such is the inconsistency anC
madness of the fanaticism and corruption
now running riot in our land. Statesman

No man is gentleman, who, without

humblest of his species. 1t is vulgarity
for which no accomplishments of dress
or address can ever atone. Show me the
man who desires to make every one hap
py around him, and whose greatest solic-
itude is never to give just cause Of ohense
to any one. and l will show you gentle

The Russian Blli--The SUPPER
The Contrast.

The New York Journal Of Commerce,
speaking of the Russian ovation and ball
on Thursday night, says that this is one
of the events that may leave its traces on
centuries to come, it is proper to give,
for the sake of history, an account of
the articles used on that magnificent greet

Twelve thousand oysters-ten thou
sand poulette and two thousand pick

Twelve monster salmon-thirty pounds
each.
Twelve hundred game birds.
Two hundred aud fifty turkeys.
Four hundred chickens.
One Thousand pounds of tenderloin.
One hundred pyramids of pastry.
One thousand large loaves.
Three thousand five hundred bottles o.
wine.
The Evening Post, on the evening al
ter the ball, closed an article as follows

TWILIGHT.

Softly, gently, shadows stray,
And the sunny light OF day
Fades away.
Stars, like jewels pure and bright,
live their own sweet peaceful light
To tho night.
And the moons pale rays are seen,
Shifting o'er tho changeful scene,
Calm and serene.
Silence steals o'er hill andiplain,
Touches lightly gold and gain,
Grief and pain.
Wanders softly o'er the earth,
Glidcs o'er want, and waste, and worth I,
Aud joy and mirth.
Banishes life's noisy din,
Seals up its tumults and its sin,
Without, within.
without, is peace and she is blessed,
But all! within full many breast
Is wild unrest.
Regret, and wcdriness and care
Turn from the peace without, SO fair,
In stern despair.
Ny Goblet every human flower
Feel thy protecting, healing power,
In sorrows hour.
And turn each troubled heart to thco,
For thou through all eternity
Canst make it FREQ.

INDIAN SUMMER.


The morn awakes like brooding dove,
With outstretched wings of gray
Thin featherly clouds close in above,
And build sober day.
No motion in the deeps of air;
No trembling in the leaves;
A still contentment everywhere,
That neither laughs nor grieves.
A shadowy voil of silvery sheen
Bedims the oceans hue;
Save where the boat has torn between
A track of shining blue.
Dream on, dream on, o dreamy day
The very clouds are dreams;
That cloud is dreaming far away,
And is not where it seems.
