Es~THc Radicals are terribly worked
up because representative men from all
parts of the Union set side by side, for
three days celebrating upon questions
designed to bring about a complete res.o-
ration of the |. Union under one flag, one
Constitution and one Federal head. All
their ridcule, and base Misrepresentation,
however will not permit the ultimate tri-
umph of the great doctrines eMunciatel
in the declaration Of principles.
Eg"The New York Tribune of "a recent
date, asks the following question: 'If
Negro Suffrage is not the question now be
fore the people, We would like to know
what is" Yes what is? VIII some of

Radical sheets shat the people Of the South

ES The soldier got 800 Bounty for
three years service, but the Radical Con-
gressmen could not afford to be loyal
for that money. They have told us what
loyalty" is. 1t is $4,000 extra for their
term of service. Old Frank took it and
