In rejecting upon the proposed meas
urcs OF the radical portion Of Congress,
and its sticking for success in cause
narrow and full Of b,gotry, it is impossi.
BILE to shut our eyes to the melancholy
fact that greatness has departed from
our borders. That. greatness, l mean
which give solid, sterling ,and forcible
character to nation. It's Just as Ger.
tain.as truth itscE, that posterity will
look back with painful emotion upon the
history we now are making. The posi-.
ton nov occupied by those radicals is
just as n man. having saved his house,
partially burnt, from the dewuring
flame, should devote all his time and
energies to raking up the ashes for ma
terial with whchto repair his injured
dwelling. He would foolishly be
spending his labor for that which salts.
feth not.
Just SO with the Stevens clique. Ig
noring the experience and the lessons Of
the past, and shutting their eyes to the
demands of he'present, and altogether
dead to The claims ofthe future, they
spend the day i'll foolish quibolps and de.
grade the prestige of our country.
Great and noble vIeus Of a country's
glory they do hot possess. Presumiue
to interpret every thought and purpose
OF the authors of our independence, they
have shown the most dogmatic feature
Of Puritan bigotry: We look in vain
for glcam Of light to pierce the thick
cloud Of their prejudice. Never, until
the American people bestir themselves,
and dash off this incubus of low trickery.
will our country rise 10 noble greatness.
