Tcry eubrtautial blessing Of the Administration,
aa3 the i'G;p q the jacoblns Of Missouri, the rad
opcnly, ae they have long been intriguing sscrstly
1Gr the mastery OF the S;cte.
And like the "Jacobins of Missouri"
they will "obtain the mastery Of the
State" The radicals are bound to carry
ill the slave stGtes-inclu kentucky.
The sensible policy for The Journal 10 pur-
Sue, is to submit to tate with the best grace
possible. The radicals began their opera
tions in Western Virginia, and it did not
1akc them long to make State and obtain
TIC mastery Of it. 1t is true they
enjoyed the very Substantial blessing Of
the Administration" wLile engaged at it,
but TINT was right.
Next, the radicals laid siege to Mary
land, and in the frnt campaign they oyer
tllrew class number two-tle sccessionists.
In the last campaign they routed horse,
loot nnd dragoons, the combined forces Of
the q Kentucky platform" men and the Sc
ces6onists, and now have quiet and com
Portable possession Of tlat State The
next attack Was made on Delaware, but
the resistance there was short and feeble.
Admonished By the fate Of the Copper
heads Of Maryland, the Kentucky platform
nlm came down and surrendered, like
Capt scott's coon, without being fired at.
The fourth slave Stale to which the rad
icals laid siege, was Missouri Here the
battle IVES long and desperate The "sab-
stantia1 blessings Of the Administration"
most unfortunately, were given to the con-
sc1yatiVcs, who double-teamed with the
copperheads, and under the leadership Of
The blairs, Bates, schofield and Gamble,
they withstood tha attack Of the radicals
for some time. However, like the rebels
at VicksIurg, they were obliged ut Last to
capitulatc, Their warrior Chief 6cho-
field, has been deposed. A radical
is assigned to his place, and the Ct Jacobinsn
viii hnye full possession Of the State
which they SO gallantly won, and hereafter
will enjoy the q very substantial blessings
Of the Administration" To the victors
belong the spoils The next State for the
radicalsto conquer, in due course, would
be Old Kaintuck; but We think they will
probably first subdue Tennesse. Kentucky
