Sumner and Stevens, the
Radical Chiefs.

With creditable candor the Tr;--
buno rebukes Mr. Charles Sumner
for the indecent rancour with which
his licentious tongue assailcd the
Presidents Message. This man is
frantic with the rage of sectional
malice; and like crazy Indian, he
runs a-muck against the South and
all who arc not smitten with the
fury Of his fanaticism. If, then,
reason be an attribute of statesman
ship, the Massachusetts Senator is
not entitled to that distinction. He
proposes no rational object-he pur-
sues no consistent conduct. He is
all passion and prejudice, and his
counsels are the incoherent utter
ances of a mailman. Happily, the
force Of his intellect is not proper
toned to his mischcvious DISPOSE
ton; otherwise the country might
suffer serious detrimcnt from his &C.
contricities. People regard him
with pity rather than apprehension;
and when they rccollcct the Incl
dent which SO infames him against
the South, they are disposed to par
don something to the resentment OF
& chastised and Inundated spirit.
His confederate in the House OF
Representatives is equally under
the dominion ofpcrsonal vindictive-
ness. Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens is nat
urally not an ill-natured person; but
the conflagration Of his iron works
by the Confederate soldiery has
kindled flame in his bosom which
the frost of four score years cannot
mitigate much less extinguish.-
THAT way madness lies" and the
poor old man never reverts to the
ruin of his fortune, but his reason

vituperation. 1t is a sorrowful spec.

pie remove him from theatre upon
which he exposes his infrmities to
the pity of friends and derision OF

Radical faction. Here are the men

amounting almost to phrensy by the
preaching Of this earnest, fervid, ol-

society goes to hear him, and listens

While people are discussing his
mornings discourse in the drawing
rooms of the West End, Sturgeon
is down in the city preaching the
gospel Of light to those who dwell
in woYse than heathenish darkness !;
for of all hcathenism that Of a chris
tian land is worst all darkness
that Of this enlightened age is the
darkest. Carrying the word of life
to those perishing thousands, light
ing with the beacon of Gods love
and mercy those regions of outer
darkness, this christian warrior
pursucs his way, needless alike of
polite ridicule or coarse caricature.
Panoplied in gospel armor he goes
forth, like the old crusader, to res
cue from infdel hands that most sa-
cred Of Gods earthly temples, the
soul OF man,

The NEGRO AGATN.-Mr. Wilson

manipulating that poor victim as
vigorously as ever. In a speech in
the Senate he remarked that 1.-THE
condition Of the freedmen of the
South is worse to-day than it was
on the day of Lees surrender. -
Here, Mr.. Wilson spoke with pain
full truth. The negro has gone ON,
in the hands of the Radicals, from
bad to worse, and if they continue
to excite his discomfort and to in
flame his passions by political agit-
alton, he will become hopeless va
gabond on the face of the earth
Repose is what the poor negro now
really requires, if his mind is allow
ed to settle down to the hard reali-
ties of his freedom. Work he can
not, while Mr. Wilson's party find
use for him as political utensil /;
and if he does not work, then, like
all of us white folks, who are per-
haps of less interest to the humani-
tarians, he must starve. In the
name of humanity, Mr.. Wilson,
spare what little is left of hope to
the poor human sufferer You and
your followers have already done
