Sinceethe passage or the Civil Rights
Bill by Congress, in opposition 10 The will
Of the President, considerable cousterna-
ion has ariser in the circles of what has
recently been called Conservative Republi.
cans, and This consternation Becoming pub
lie has revealed somewhat more definitely
the chief object OF these self styled con-
servsiives. From the NeU York Times, we
gel direct information that the dongs of
the radicals are "fana'ical, Iyranpical, irai-
iorops," and that they would. ifcsrried into
effect, "eniail disgrace, disaster, desiruc-
lion npon the Union party"
These assertions of fanalicism, tyranny
and treason in the principles and acts of
the Republican party, or hypocriGca'ty. the
Union parry, in the words of The Times, are
but 1he echos of The irnlhiuI sayingE, BY
Democrats. oil the administration Of the
Republicans for the FIVE years last past,
and though few inierposa Is have been
made By President Johnson recently, in The
performances OF some honorable acts maia
tanning the Constitution and laws OF The
land, yet Ibe same spirit of fanaIicism,
tyranny and treason, is The only impulse
which gives motive 10 Ihe Republican par
ly. The New York Times has, however,
taken stand with the President and ap
parenIIy in direct opposition to The raGi-
Gals; 5utupon minute search of the rea-
sons for this course, we 6od the only rea-
son 10 be, that because OF The wrongful con-
duct OF the great mass OF Republicans, il
learns The truth OF The declaration OF SEN
ator Lane, of Kansas, thai "lhe Republican
parry is crum bling TO pieces" And while
we find the Times thus casting stones at
the radicals, we notice in The same columns
expressions of great qualification, when the
true and reliable supporters OF the Presl-
dents constitutional measures are defeated
in elections, and the Radicals succeed in
placing as chief executive OF the State OF
Connecticut, an acknowledged and defiant
opposer OF the policy of President johnson.
One who has been publicly proc as
being as fully aud faithfully welded 10 rad
icai<m as Charles Sumner, himself, aud
one from whom we may expect earnest
lator to continue the rnle of admiuisuaion
in the hands OF the men now acting as this
same Tunes says, in manner ''tanalcal,
tyrannical, ,Iraltorous."
There is no other conclusion for us then,
that these men, called eonssrvatire Re pubi-
caus, are the 5ases OF the base Repubh
cans, aud, instead of earnestly supporIng
President Johnaon's constitutional acts in
honesty aud rnih, are The mere tools of
policy, playing second iidle," with the
Radicals while the harmony of the Con-
sii,nuou may be destroyed, aud aiding,
by their votes FOR The most prominent fahat-
les TO prepare safe Track upon which the
demon Of tyranny may ride safely upon

Constitution, the Republican party may not

There may, however, be vi hin The cir
cles OF these conservative Republicans
honest and noble men, desiring The su-
premacy OF law, and the removal OF OPP
preston. Ihere no doutl many but the
course Of the Tines, Mr.. Raymond's-NRe-
publican representative from New York

and most craven cowardice.
We demand these coaserUltiDcs TO 90 for
or against the President, at all times. for
candidates in popular elections who favor
the Presidents policy, as well as give a
meagre support, and still more measre in
fueuce, in Represe ntalive Halls.
We ask them: Where are you? Are
you with the Uoion party, which, according g
to the Presidents declaration must be in
favor of his policy or can be no Union
party, o: are you against the Union
