poIrrI1 tc,A,I 1.-THE inconsistency Of Black Re
publican becomes more apparent as the days 90
on I'VE say Inconsistency by way of politeness,
for the true term, mean political principles.
We know an old Radical who was born and
reared in a Northern State, but who has found
the South far preferable as place of residence
for the last forty years, who was highly indig-
narlt because of the intolerance Of Southern
men some Eve years. ago. He then thought
this "a free country, and every man had an IN
alienable right to independent thought and ac
tom but who since Gen. Lee surrendered,
wishes to dictate to all who oppose Bethel
Fisher Butler e. Co., even in their choice OF
reading. He grows sick at the sight OF con;
seryative paper, and wond fam force upon all
the world and the res. of mankind, the post

himself" and SO he has; for the leaders OF the
Radical party are hung up between heaven and
earth, as kissing and scorn to the whole clv1-
lzed world. Clothed with little brlcl au-
| thority, they are playing such fantastic tricks
before high heaven, as make the angels weep. :.

Amendment to rob half the people of their
rights, and then hand over the censure to the
Democrats, who were too greatly in the minor

government in every Southern State. They
don't like the Constitution simply because it
gives too much power to the President and not
enough to themselves, and they want to patch
the old Conservative garment, to advance their
interest and perpetuate their power, until it is
all covered over with Radical rags. They re-
cognize the Southern States as States by offer
ing them amendments to ratity. The Consti-
tuition expressl ydeclares: "New States may be
admitted by the Congress into this Union,

propose to ';impesch'' him for not violating

the radical matter to a focus. The President:
