Must Democrats Teach Radicals
Their Dufv2

Ii u 5gniljcant and gratifying fact that
every one OF our numerous Democratic exchan-
ges wnich we take up Of late has something

other hand, it is equally significant, not TO say
astonishing and Teprchensive, that scarcely one
Of the Republican papers have, lately, had 4
word g say upon the subject, evidently treat
Ing the Presidents whole scheme Of re-organi-
zati0n with salcn silence or roundabout dsap-
proyal. IN leu of the endorsement and en-
couragenent which ought Of rightto be award
ed by them to the President, we find nothing
but incessant appeals for revenge against the
fallen rebels. Such words as tie rope, the
prison, confscatjou. abound on all sides, and,
if vocal instead Of written, they would resound
as The harsh yeils of passion and hate.
As a specimen ofthe encoui cement and sup
port which the President is receiving from
many Of bis own friends in the work before him
ofre-estabiishiag the Government and the laws,
we quote from The Uaircrsqhst, whichsayS; Iii

can plainly be seen that only when Andrew
Johnson shall consent to act on the passionate
Judgment Of the radicals, and become simply an
executioHer under their rule OF hate regardless
Of courts, laws, or decent respect for the sem
timent Of the world, in giving even the guilty
q show of trial, can he hope TO be ''supported''
by their encouraging smiles. The haE2ing Of
a few Thousand rebels would make johnson little
short Of god among the radicals. But, to Sc
cure their respect he must predetarmine to hang
and otherwise punish, as they dictate, and by
no means undertake to await the decent and
essential action Of the courts under the laws of
the land. Support of the Government, we have
been taught by the radicals, means thorough,
undivided endorsement, not haitng or half
way approbation, grudgingly given. Has il
really become necessary for Democrats to call
The attention Of the radicals 10 their own pre-
cepts, and teach them their duty to the Gov
, ecnment? Just now it seems as though their
exists strong necessity to do 50.
AvoID SWEARING. An oath is the wrath OF
perturbed spirit.
It is more. A man of high moral standing
would rather treat another with contempt, than
show his indignation by utterng an oath
1t is vulgar. Altogether too low for decent
man.
1t is cowardly; implying fear either Of not
being believed or obeyed.
It's ungentlemanly. a gentleman according
to Webster, is gentcel man-well-bred and
refined.
1t is indecent, offensive to delcacy, and ex-
tremely unfit for human ears,
It is foolish. Want of decency is want OF
sense.
1t is abusive-to the mind which conceived
the oath, and to the mouth which uttered it,
and to the person at whom it is aimed.
It is yenomous; showing mans heart to be
as nest OF vipers, and every time he swears,
ore Of them starts out from lis head.
Il is eontemptible: foriciting the respect Ct
the wise and good.
1t is wicked violating the Divine law and
provoking the displeasure Of Him who win not
hold him gpIi,tess who taketh His name in vain.
