ThaGdeus Stevens.

Harper's Weekly. which has hitherto advocated
the peculiar politics of Thaddeus Stevens with much
bitterness. has recently shifted its ground and gives
in late issue the following sketch of the leader of
the radicals:
He Mr.. Stevensl is strictly revolutionary lead
er reckless, unsparing, vehement vindictiye, loud
Tor the rights OF conquerors, intolerant of oppose
tlon and as absolutely incapable of fne discrimina
ton and generous Judgment locomotive Of sing
ing. Of q pleasant humOr and personal kindness
he IS no more fitted for the task of recopstruc ction
which devolves upon Congress than jovial black
smith to repair watch, "a butcher to take up
gion of the heart -
Yet Congress, which is undoubtedly one of the
aolest tnat was ever assembled. has quietly allowed
itself to be almost puppet in the hands of such a
man ma and at such time. The consequence is that
Mr.. stevens crude and rash talk is supposed to be
the voice OF Congress. A legislator who undertakes
70 regulate the price of gold by law is the tacity ac
knoWedged chief of body of practical business men
representative W no sneers at the press is permit
TED leader IN party created and triumphant by free
discussion. :" q 1t is one of the marvels of the
time that no man known a radical has vindicated
inc party and the country against Mr.. Steveas.
Yet nothing is more certain THAI thar the calm good
sense OF the great Union party has strongly con-
demned the views and policy of Mr.. Stevens"
