Southern Radicals,

the Southern Radicals, misca!ed Southern
Loyallsss,' who met in Philadelphia on the

pie, imploring them to persecqte aud DESTROY
the people who have permitted these wretches
to live as their neighbors. They issue an ad-
dress giving their united authority to the
grossest taisehoods about the feelings and
purposes of their neighbors. They then dis
perse themselves over the Northern States to
deliver IN person (to such as will condescend
to hear them) those base calunnies. When
we re call the humane and tender forbcarance
with which these degraded men have been
treated by the people against whom they ar
range these Gefariuus plans, we doubt ii the
history of the world can furnish parallel for
this exhibition OF vice. Few, or none Of

in the deadly breach and offered his life for
the Union, these men got behind the door and
whistied. For their lives. during these four
years, they could not tell which was in the
right. Hence they did nothing except to be
hospitabe and polite to either set that was
about them, and to get all the loose money
that either set af1oat. srButras,soon as psr1na-1

than the men whose blood was stirred bythe
armed strife. The neutral loyalist travels
North to STIR the Vengeance of the people, and
to counteract the appeals for peace in which
numerous soldiers of the Federal army have
participated. ~

are traversing the North for the purpose of
exciting the worst passions of It's people

openly urging the impeachment of Andrew
