SEVERAL Radical papers are y

SEVERAL Radical papers are ffe-
quently Eharping upon the idea that
Louis Napoleon stands in great dread
o fwnr with The United States. 1t is
both unwiIs and dangerous to incul-
cate such All idea. The time has never
vet been when this country was iii n
condition to bully France, and it is in
that condition now less than OIL any
previous occasion. @ We have several
times bullied England, and may do it
successfully again; but bullying France
Is n very different matter, and we do
not want to sec it tried. 1t is dan
gerOus.
What, pray, is there in the present
appearance Of this country calculated
to Brighten France, or any other first
class power? Have we a. Union, the
sources Of all our former strength 7
We look in vain for it, because we find
the exclusion of eleven States from all
participation In the Government very
thoroughly disunites North and South.
The Radicals have effected disunion
more completely than secession did.
And yet, with a divided household
with all this trouble at .home-with
wounds which they will not allow to
heal, they think they are soaring not
only France, but all creation besides.
Do they realize that unless the South
is in the Union, the victory of the late
war has brought them weakness in
stead Of strengthy ytil pas
Talk about alarming France, or even
a second rate power, with the dread 81
war! We cannot do so until We have 3
restored Union. And Louis Napo-
leon, who is better posted in the poll
tics, condition and prospects of this
country than the Radicals are, knows
the exact extent of our weakness. He
no doubt laughs heartily at the idea OF
his being frightened, when really there
is nothing to be scared about.
The boot is on the other leg. II
would be we'll for this country to be
alarmed, until its locks have grown
out again-until the Union Of our faith,
ers, in it's justice, strength, and affec'
ton, shall be restored. Then indeed
nations will dread us, but not now

The Power Of Inteinperance.
rom the Nashville Press and Tlmcs.l

From the Nashville Press and Times.l
A sad example ofthc power Of the
appetite for Intoxicating drinks Was
brought to our notice a few days since
in this place, In 1861 q young man no.
Gently married, while in a fit OF mania
apotu killed his father for refusing him
liquor. The murderer was tried and
sentenced to serve Il term Of twenty
Years in the State prison. His Young
wife and mother interceded with the al.
thorities to obtain his pardon, on the
ground that he was insane when he
committed the dreadful crime. The
Judge, the jury which convicted him,
the Attorney General and the Governor
were all by turns entreated by the wife
who rarely forsakes her husband, and
by the mother who never fiorsakes her
son. These two untiring suppliants
were discouraged by no refusal or re-
pulse but persisted for years in their
entyeatics. In the meanwhile the con-
Wet awakening to a sense Of his guilt in
the %seclusion of the Penitentiary to
which he was doomed for the flower Of
his life, showed signs of penitence, and
applied himself so faithfully and indus
triously to his tasks, that he was the
%favorite Of the keeper. Finally the
ease was brought before Governor
Brownlow. Nearly six years had
already been spent in prison by him
whose pardon was asked for by the
wife and mother. After patient ex-
animation the Governor released the
prisoner on condition that he was to
abstain from all Intoxicating drinks,
with the warning, that if he should
break his pledge he should be taken
back to prison. The man kept his
promise, and remained sober for some
weeks, and was then taken up by the
police in a state Of intoxication. The
Governor hearing of his relapse, in
order to prevent the miserable man
from taking the life of another mem
her of his family, Immediately remand
ed him to prison.
What a striking example have we
here ofthe strength of an appetite for
strong drink, which neither the memo
ry of a great crime, nor six years absti-
hence in prison, nor the untiring devo-
ton of a wife and mother, nor kind
ness of the State authorities, nor the
fear of a return to fourteen years adj
ditional Imprisonment in the pcniten-
tiary could destroy! Who, with such
warning before him, would become
the slave of that memorable, relentless
Implying tyraut, the fend of Intem
Derance?

The Radicals have carried their
point. First they turned Stockton out,
and then they overruled the veto. But
for the expulsion of Stockton the veto
would nave been sanctioned. This was
