The Republican party was organized on Sec

tional revolution, was suddenly placed in
possession Of the reins Of power. The eou-
test that brought It into existence has been
concluded. The dangerous aims Of the rebel
lion forced large classc. of conservative men
into the Republican ranks They are now
leaving concern that is corrupt TO the very
heart. The unscrupulous Radical leaders
must now resort to some desperate measure
to sustain themselves. or sink into merited
oblivion. Negio suffrage 10 the dernier re.
