People who witness the antics of the Rad
icals. and who are not particularly inter-
ested, may well exclaim, with cutting
irony: "How they love one another!'' The
bottom having wholly fallen out Of their
old platform, they are no longer attached
by a common bond of sympathy; but the
malignant spirit of vituperation remains,
and they are, as likely to fix their fangs
upon friends as foes. Here is the evidence:
WENDELL PHILLIPS, in one of his recent
addresses, denounced General BANKS as +
..vagrant mountebank," and then, turning
upon the President of the United States,
charged that the Chief Magistrate of the
Republic was proper subject for i'm
peachment, as follows:
"Now my charge against the President
is, that he has debauched the moral sense
of the loyal States on this question. My
charge against the President of the United
States is, that hc has silenced the Republic
can party on this question, and If 1t wert
possible, consistently with the nature OF our
government, now is the time contemplated
by the fathers when such a magistrate
should be impeached by the House of Rep
resentatives."
:, Nor dId the pastor Of Plymouth Church
escape these venomous shafts. Mr.. PHIL
LIPS said: .',.'
'sThe slave power, like the serpent in the
old legend of LAGOON, has encircled and
crushed the life out of the Republican par
ty, and out of Plymouth Church pulpit
= Laughter and applause. Yes, respeci
the impulses of that gallant apostle of lib
n.t., Ianry War1 Raoohar Rut that
=. speech of his Is one of the most dismal signs
OF the times" ---,'..,..-
The Independent newspaper, in like man
fner, turns upon its old associate editor
thus: '-...'.
- "Mr. Beecher's language now sounds
more like the Democratic resolutions of
New Jersey than the good old ring Of Ply
mouth Church bell" ..,....br..f's
=, In happy accord is the New York Anti-
sSlavery Standard of Oct. %, which says:
Z, ave regard his sermon last Sunday as
one of the most effective blows ever dealt
ut the anti-slavery cause"
VI The negro lecturer, FREDERICK DOUGLASS,
thinks President JOHNSON is worse than
BOOTH or JEFFERSON DAVIS. He said, in a
lecture delivered few days ago, in Boston:
. sWe abhor very properly Jefferson Da-
/, Wis and Booth, but deeper and more dread
full execration will settle upon that mans
s name If he shall sacrifice us as his policy
now evidently aims to do. Why, II we're
white man, after this war, should blush
n to my bones to look a black man In the face
and deny him the right of suffrage" s
Among the Radical editors whole columns
are wasted in mutual crimination. For in
stance THURLow WEED, who controls the
columns Of the Ne,o York Times, refers to
his contemporary as follows: DIS .lt2
..The mistake of Kohnstamm (who is now
at Sing Sing) was In not connecting with
the Eoening Post before commencing his
depredations upon the, Government"
And the Post editor has no better opinion
Of "T. W." All this is disgracsfdl; and
were there not more stability in our Dem
ocratic form Of government than it has ever
had credit for these fellows would drive
the country into anarchy before another
Presidential election. ~.
