Sixuilcpnt Admission Of n Radical
Lender.

The Hon. Henry B. Stanton, of New
York, husband of Mrs. Z. Cady Stanton,
and radical of the first water, made a
speech at the meeting of extreme radi-
Gals in National Hall, Philadelphia,
the other night, from which we take
the following extract:
The recent elections show that in the
free States the Republicans were back
ed by population of about eleven mil
lions. while the Democrats We're sus-
tanned by population of about
nine millions. This gave the Re
publicans majority of two mil
lions of the people i'll the free States.
In the slave States, excluding the
negroes, and Judging by their latest
elections, the Democrats represent a
population of about six and half mil
lions, while the Republicans are sustain
ed Ivy only million and half. This
gave the Democracy q majority OF five
millions of people i'll the slave States.
Thus, North and South, the Democrats
represented fifteen and a half millions
of the population, and the Republicans
twelve and half millions, giving the
former a majority of three millions.
The Republican voters in the free
States amount to about two millions,
while the Democratic voters number
one million, six hundred thousand, thus
giving a Republican majority of four
hundred thousand. In the slave States
the Democratic vote is about eleven
hundred thousand. Thus North and
South, the Democrats had two million
seven hundred thousand voters, and the
Republicans two million two hundred
thousand, giving the former majority
of half million. According to these
figures it appears that the Democracy
had Gncluding southern negroes) a
majority over the Republicans i'll the
whole nation of three millions OF peo-
pie, and five hundred thousand voters;
and that nearly all the available poht-
ical strength of tie Republicans was i'll
the North, while that of the Democrats
was diffused in about equal proportions
over both North and South. Now, lie
affirmed, that no such sectional party
could long maintain itself against such an

waiter named Pike at Thompson's
coffee house in Shoe lane. Pike came
to the editor of the Advertiser and said
that while standing in the middle of the
street, between Shoe lane and Salisbury
court, with no one near him, and gazing
upward, he became aware of burning
sensation in the neck, upon which he
tore at his neckcloth, and the next mo-
ment the burning substance passed
down the left breast, scorching the shirt
in its course, and inficting three small
but severe burns on the flesh, with one

and matter-of-fact turn, we suggested n

be found in the young mans clothing.

The New Era.

Our neighbor of the Inte!ligencer joins
with the radicals in Congress in sneer-
in. at the constitution of the United
States and and treating with disrespcct
the teachings of WASHINGTON, JEFFER-
son, JACKSON, and other sages whose
wisdom gave TO our country all the
glory it ever attained. He thinks that
the constitution has nothing to do with
the settlement of the political questions
now agitating the people, and that
there never was sage equal to THAD.
STEVENS in wisdom, or to the defeated
asprant for Senatorial hOnors in this
State and District for patriotism and
comprehensive craftsmanship. Alas,
poor country, when sEch men are chosen
as guides of public sentiment and mold
rrs of the dcstinics of the nation.

The stitution

The way to the solution of all the
difficulties that beset the domestic
affairs of our nation is plain and simple :
let all the Departments of the Govern
mcnt obey the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. Obedience to the require
mcnts of the written Constitution will
heal all the diseases of the body polite
and plant health and strength where
now there is infirmity and weakness.
Let but the Constitution be obeycd; let
the solemn compact he fulfilled; let the
people only stand by their plighted
faith: and our difficulties will vanish,
nhe nation will enter upon a new career
,f prosperity and peace.
In addition TO the advantages this
course would afford; in addition
To the acknowledged truth that
Honesty is the best policy"
viewing the question merely in self
ish light; the people of the United
States are bound by solemn Oaths to
obey the constitution. They are not
left TO their own option, whether they
will obey it or not. In addition to the
promptings of interest, they are CON-
pe'ied hy sense of duty to revere the
teachings of the organic law ofthe na,
ton, and if they would violate it they
cannot do so without being guilty Of
crime. To the advantages accruins
from the observance of the principles
enunciated by the founders of our gov
ernment is added the imperative and
deliberately assumed obligation Of every
officer of the government.
In addition to both these reasons why
the constitution should be obeyed, we
have the advice and counsel of the
wlsest men and purest statesmen who
have ever lived in the United States,
all exhorting and beseeching the people
TO guard and maintain the principles Of
government established by that instru.

IVES. yiryinin's Future.


During the progress of the recent po-
ltical campaign, we endeavoredto to show
that the programme of the Radical
party would involve, when carried out,
the destruction of the State of West
Virginia. Their theory of St?tN suicide,
we sought to show, would impair the
validity of the proceedings by which
West Virginia became State, because if
that theory were correct, Virginia could
not have given n legal consent to her own
division. The developments of Radical
policy, now being made at Washington,
show clearly that we were correct in de-
clariug that the idea of State sui
eide was favoritc one with Radi-
cal leaders. Accounts from the
capital agree in saying that those
leaders are disposed To proceed upon
Mr.. STEVENS idea that the Southern
States were reduced by their rebellion
To- a territorial condition, and should be
Governed now by Congressional author
itv If this idea DO incorporated into
our national legislation, what becomes
Of this Young State of ours, which all
uarties are so anxious to prescrve'
If rs is claimed, Virginia forfeited
her STATE i.~".' hv her rebellion, she has
since that time been Incapable of any
sovereign act, such as giving consent to
her own disintegration. If, since her
secession. Virginia has ceased to be Il
State. the Government under which
West Virginia was formed was
no State Government. The act
of division was the act of 4 de-
pendent territory. and lacks legality
because the creating power did not pos
sc>S the requisite sovereignty. In short,
ifthe STEVENS idea be true, and Nlr-
ginia no State, then West Virginia, re-
lying for existence upon the continued
sovereignty of the mother State, ceases
to hc a State, because Virginia was not,
at the time of consent, i'll n condition to
a"rcc to her own division. If this view
be incorrect, if the proposed Radical pro-
rranme does not asSail the continued
existence of West Virginia, VIC
should like to he apprizcd of our error.
According to our understanding of the
case, not only are the integrity and
pcrpctuity Of West Virginia seriously
threatened, hut the danger comes from
the very quarter whence have always
cu,aaatcd the warmcst assurances OF ii
deity to her interests. The Radical
party whose leaders here have proclaim
ed themselves the special champions OF
the new State, appears to be the source
from which deadly assault upon the
life OF West Virginia is abont to come.
