the radicals In their proper place. With dis
tinctness, . force and felicity Of statement
that viii make this point clear to every faculty,
it holds the radicals up to public reprobation,
as the allies In evil Of the men who strove to do
stroy the country, snd more particularly as tho
friends and helpers Of that rump Of the rebel

Element Of the country in order to secure "ulti-
mate political triumph" Is merely to "insH-
tute new civil war" And how Is recon-
struction hindereds-how is this new civil war
forced upon the countryi "You are your
selves" says Mr.. Seward, "aware Of the answer,
when you fasten upon any violent, factious or
seditious exhibition Of passion or discomfort In
any of the lately rebellious States, and argue
from it the failure of the plan. Every turbu-
lent and faotious person in the lately insurrec-
tionary States is resisting, hindering and delay
ing the work of restoration to the extent Of his
ability" He is keeping up the spirit that
ferment Of discomfort, and rendering impossi-

intercourse that are absolutely necessary for
the real settlement of the country.
That Is the result Of agitation at the South,
where the agitators are despised by the mass
Of the people and sneered at as the men who
staid at home throughout the war. But agita-
tors on our side do even greater evil, because
they have greater power. "The case"
says Mr.. Seward, "is precisely the Same
with ourselves. Manifestations Of doubt
distrust, elimination, contempt or defiance
In the loyal States are equally injurious,
and equally tend to delay the; work Of
reconciliation" This Is distinct, account q
the labor Of Stevens, Summer, Philips, Tiltoa
and Company. They are Che assistants and
colaborers Of what is Left ofthe rebellion. They
also, like the present dissatisfied men In the
South, were stay-at-home heroes, who fnlmi-
mated dreadful wrath at the peaceful distance
Of . thousand miles. They, like these Southern
disturbers, are disposed and eager TO keep up
the war forever. because they never felt Il, and

how the best men In the country regard IL
