THE RADICALS AND THE PR
DENT.

President Johnson is every day be-
coming the object Of attack from those
presses that but recently were loud IN
their declarations that all opposition to
the Presidents policy was "cpPosing
the government The best energies
Of Mr.. johnson are being put forth to
sie, Site Governments
upon principles that refnte tae looa
that tho so called seeded states were
ever out of the UniJa. The theory Of
the Democratic party 81! through the
war was that while individuals might
forfeit all their civil and political rights
in State or government, that the
State could not commit. suicide. Upon
this principle Mr.. johnson has acted thus
far in his administrator 10 the fullest
extent that the condition Of the southern
states would permit. II tie rldical
theory were correct, a few corrupt inli-
riduals clothed with "a little brief au-
thority" might entirely subvert our
form of government, by carrying their
states into the vortex Of rebellion
against Federal authority. On the
contrary, upon the theory of Mr..
johnson and also of the democratic par
ty, when the relns Of civil authority
are wrested from the hands Of
those placing their several Sta
tes in the attitude Of hostility to
Federal authority, law assumes its
sway; the State as soon as it can be
provided with civil officers to see
the laws executed, if in the conflict
the off ces have become vacant through
death, re N oval from the state, or con-
stitutional disability Of the old officers
to discharge the duties Of their position,
then the state government must 90
on with ali its rights, rs an equal and
sovereign state Of the Union.
Upon the radical theory the destruc-
ton ofou government by consent Of the
governed" becomes an accomplished fact
v hether rebellion succeeds or fails. If
successful thsa the states triunphing
may alter, change, or abolish the form
of government, to suit the successful
revolutioaists. Il unsuccessful then
rLev have. lost their atate governments

der meanY Surely, none deserved censurse
less than Capt. Carter. He was the idol of
strength, bold and fearless in battle, perfect
master of the 'sword" and gloves" kind
and gentle hearted, always found upon the
side OF the weak. He had been frequently
spoken Of by his supe i,rs for his gsllantry.
These thoughts passed through the minds
of some after this order was read, bat none
could give sufficient reason why he should
be thus relieved, for. said they, does not the
order tn,ply disgraceg But these mutter-
ings we're not heard at headquarters, and
we're of no avail. The Captain retired to his
tent, relieved himself of his accouterments,
called his servant Tom, and set tout for head
quarters, with none but his sable compan-
