Northwest, has been greatly enlarged and

The New York Times referring to the
extremes Of Radicalism, says;
From WENDELL PHILLIPS in the East to
the Chicago Tribune in the West, the tone
Of the more demOnstrative of the malig-
nants is disgraeeful in its recklessness and
almost unparalleled in its ferocity. Not
content with impeaching and hanging the
President in advance, they single out prom
inent supporters of the Union policy as
marks to be kept in view by the avenging
Radicals The whole Union party are
charged with plotting another rebellion, and
falsehoOds are scattered broadcast designed
to fix upon the great majority Of the South
ern people the stigma Of yet being rebels.

breaches the gospel of Plymouth rock in

cred duty of loyal citizens, when he an
nounces that the national life is in peril.
He is the official judge of this, and if we do
not accept his testimony we have nothing to

This same person and all his tribe, now
pronounce it the "most sacred duty Of loyal
citizens" to decry the President, and hound
on a Radical Congress to impeach him.

life is in peril, and calls for support But
the loyal and pious BELLOWS and hisfriends
only answer with threats Of his lie.

This is lower than it has reached in this
locality, with one exception, for several
years past Snow had fallen TO the depth
Of about foot. and in many places drifted
badly, causing almost an entire suspension
Of travel on the railroads for several days.
We received no papers from the west for
several days last week, but have since
learned that the storm was general over
the western States, the thermometer i'll
many places showing the temperature as
low as 80 to 40 degrees below zero. God
pity the poor and destitute in such weather.

they may think they have cause TO become a

RESTORATION OF THE STATES.
The bill under consideration refers to GER
tam Ca the States as though they had not been
fully restored to the United States If they
have not, let us at once act together to secure
that desirable end at the earliest possible
moment. 1t is hardly necessary for me to in
form Congress that, in my own judgment,
most of these States, so far at least rs depends
upon their own action, have already been
fully restored, and are TO be deemed to be en-
titled To enjoy their constitutional rights as
members of the Union. Reasoning from the
Constitution itself, and from the actual silua-
ton of the country, feel not only entitled
but bound, TO assume that. with the federal
courts restored in the full exercise of their
functions, the rights and interests of all class
cs of the people will with the aid of the mill
tary in cases of resistance 10 the law, be essen
tally protected aeains: unconstitutional in
fringement and violation. Should this expcc-

pate, then the Executive is already armed
with the powers conferred by the act of March
