i IIE FATE OF T1E RESEEADES.
Il has been recorded by the faithful llisto- !
ran ofthc Pickwick Club, that when it au-
tlorized its distinguished founder to travel
on that 1aur ofiuycstigaticA that has inn,o7-
talizcd his name, II aGacd that lie should bc
permitted to ray his own expenses. 1t will
tc iouud, by reference to the returns OF the
late elections, that the reae:adc Republi-
cans who were put in nomination ly the
toppeElsa1 party, wcre permitted TO
NTH the additional privilege of pay
irg the expenses Of their associates.
without the sliglltest chance Of re,nit,,e-a-
tion or horc Of reward. The few successful
candidates ef the party were ont-and-out
"Dsluocra.s," Of the ancient ani hard shell
o7der. OF the twelve Johrsot,i;e Congress
Iasil elected in Penn sylss;iia, Ohio and Indi-
ara, not one WAS known as :: conservative
Republican, or an a1mi-cr OF Andrew John
son previous TO his apostasy to the Union
party. Wherever they had fair chance Of
cltct:ns their nan, the Copperncads put for
ward enc Of their own stripe, and rigor-
ous1y excluded the Republican rene-
cGdes. But in districts where there
WAS not the ghost OF a chance to
elect, tLc Cuppcrhcads displayed their gen
cr"si;y by nominating rcnesades. and asses
slug t!r1n heavily for election expenses.
Take, a. an example, tic Fifth District Of
1nj:ann, represented by Mr. Julian, where
a,ly enc but . radical Republican lad less
ehsnee Of cleesion than Mr.. Greeley has in
the Fourth District Of New Yurk. 1t was
absolutely certain that Julian would have ii
