Col. Granger, the Radical candidate
for Common Pleas Judge in this Judi

we have come TO the conclusion from
what we have heard about this meet
ing, for VIC were not present, that these
men, seeing the hand writing on the
wall, have become desperate, and
ready ut any time to enter the arena of
revolution, dissolution, and bring upon
the country all the curses of civil com.
motion. They seem to be %pursusing
the same curse that characterized
their conduct previous to the late civil
war. Vindlctiyencss, hatred and all
tie bad passions seem to be the stock
in trade. They seem determined to
bring on a war between the whites and
blacks.

With great deal of drummi NO and

audience. :
Plants being the observed of all OBJ

nbuse against the President. He ar
raigned Andrew Johnson, tried him,
convicted him, and intends al the next
session of Congress to have him i'm,
peached and put out of Office.

grievously in the way of such men as

valiant Plants.

Government in the way he thought most
effectual and certain, and that to with
out the fear of Lincoln's old military
bastiles before his eyes, he went off and
undertook to justify his votes in the
last Congress.
He yoteds he said for negro suffrage

his right to vote. 'ie
In the course of his speech he at
tempted a justification of his conduct in
