Congress.

We learn that j. ". johnson, the radical
candidate made flaming speech in Fort
smth, not long since, in which he rebuked
the President in terribly scathing terms. Hi'
eloquence was truly Ciceronian. The pathet-
ic manner in which he alluded to the danger
with which the country is now threatened
was truly melting. Such sublimity is said
never to have been surpassed. Poor Green
wood and Bennet, you are are pitted against
giant. We pity you and from feelings OF
sympathy We will have to support you or one
Of you; and we fear SO many will feellike us
that the eloquent Colonel may be defeated
and then, alas! +! my country, what will become
of il?
But, seriously, 1t is an outrageous insult to
the people of this District for man to pre-
sent himself before them and solicit their
votes on the negro suffrage platform. Here is
u man raised among us who is fully aware OF
the prejudces of the people-who knows how
much they have suffered and lost, and by his
assistance, and yet he comes forward and asks
to be rewarded for contributing to bring these
disasters upon them.
His party, while called abQlitionien have
ssi:,.-d for forty odd years, to rob the South
and now, having succeeded, he comes among
the crushed and ruined people and openly asks
them to support him in order to continue the
system of plunder and robbery. by MEANS OF
protective tariffs, revenue taxation, and all
the long array of denominations and iniquties
advocated by his party. The people of this
District, we can confidently predict will in
dignantly spurn his pretensions. and bid him
retire to his original obscurity. from which he
was raised by the answering rule of civil
WARTIME good sink. the unworthy rose to the
surface. Judge Greenwood, a man who has
served the District faithfully. in Congress be-
fore the war, and whose influence at Wash
ington was great, is the man to whom the peO-
pie of this District will undoubtedly entrust
their interests.

What the Northern Radicals think of
the "poor whites" of the South.

Ing poor WHITES OF the South.
TO show our radical white friends of this
county the estimate placed upon "poor whites
OF the South in comparison with the negro, by
the rae icals of the north. We copy the fol-
lowing extract from an address made by a cler-
gyman in Chicago, recently, before the North
Western Freedmen's Aid Commission rs fol-
lows:
"These negroes of the South, If their edu-
cation be now neglected may yet prove as
dangerous to the Republic as the poor rhttes
of the South nor are, and may, in time, Hkt
them, be cursed acith an absolutely fossil stupid
ity, almost beyond the reach Of education. Eve
ry consideration of Christianity and OF per.
sonal interest impels us to devote ourselves
heartily to this duty. When this work wa.
commenced the nation had II President, ant
the negro had a Moses; but to-day the nation
has an, accidental incumbent and the negr,
has n Haman. But there Is still light betor,
us--God has given us In the Senate, a livin!
Mordecai who has already hung lIaman ii
defeat and disgrace"
Is there white man In the South who, aiteI
reading this extract will give his influence t,
a party that places him below the negro? Il
there white man in Crawford County tha
will give his vote for any man in the Interest
ofsuch party at the coming election? White
man, "poor white men" of Crawford show t.
these radical agitators ut this election tha
negro equality " has no dwelling place il
this county. 0od

A COOP REToRT-The New York
'Fribune-'alone in its glory
IN the coarsest and most ungentlemanly
personal abuse of President johnson.
Enraged at the noble and patriotic utter
ances of his eloquent and able speech to
the citizens of Washington, it basely in
sinuates that he was inebriated. The
Journal of Commerceis reminded by this
of little story which the Tribune, or
some other paper gifts stamp, related of
the late President year or two ago.
1t was stated that Radical Congress
sional committee or delegation waited on
Mr.. Lincoln, and urged the removal of
Gen. Grant from the Command in Chief,
assigning as areason that he was in the
habit of drinking whiskey.
"Ah = said Mr.. Lincoln, land do you
know where he gets his whiskey, gentle
men 2"
No, we do not"
I'm sorry for that" was the Presi-
dents reply, for if you could tell me [
would send barrel of the same whiskey
to every general in the army"
