The Radicals have fairly commenced the

sought by oily rhetoric end far fetched IN
ferenccs to beguile the Irish into the belief
that the Radical sympathics we're with them,

hardly consider sch . thing possi

Irish citizens. which has al~ays been in 4
vor Of consarvatism. They have always been
among tn most conservative Il the people,
and regard the general interests Of ttr coun.

TIMES any longer in tho hands Of the blood
thirsty faction, who have been heapine up
taxation and ol,structing The rsatmslion II
peace, and new have tho impudencc to ash
for an extended lease Of power. We ask
the Irish people 10 review The antsceslents
Of al tho leading radicals, and especially
those here at home, and see if they can end
'ny,hing in which TO trust, 70 which they
can pin their faith. What have the lcadisg
radicals of the Price stripe in this county
ever done TO commend themselves to the
confidence cfthc Irish people What are
they doing nov, ,Sympatlaisng with them

Truly the sedieols have : hcrculean task
before them to control the instinct Of the
IRISH heart which has ever becn true 10 the
best interests # the country. They have
stood 10y the country in the past II the bal
y, hpx and N the battle nsld They know.

what their PROMISES arc worth. Mcssrs
Radicals, YOU may now 'alk large, ind bid
lish for The Ilish vote, ut il will I've in vain
They are no; thus to hc dupcd. They know
TO e'jsc: Of this prnfessed sympathy, and
will ok upon Il and act accordingly.
Fcnsans deicst the course Of johnson and
Seward IN reference to their late mo, ement
upon anssii, and IN this the Radicals seek
toiind favor with tlse, Fcniaa, Brothss hsod
lrt opposing the Pre- sidcnt in every other
ac', what did they do in this matterp Whs,
win they do? just wht they aid and are
now dong for the soldiers cf Scott county.
Libe'al With their howcry rhetoric, and ever
ready that they should feast bouniffull,
upon glory, hut, when tho time comes for
all. they seem surprised that
such thing should be asked or even ex-
rec,cd, and coo " tell them to stand aside,
aal thus il will be in this new movem mt,
Should they succc Il in bcfcoing the renian
voters.

Tho New York Times considers TINT the
Radical party has made blunder IL suppo

the men who, year after year, pc,iled their
lives for their country, did so, not from

The mon OF the loyal Statea aprang to arms
with aiac'lty,. and were indignant that any
