THE RADICALS. Many of the Copperheads |
in Congress are suffering from beam in their
own eyes while they are attempting to gouge
the mote out of the Radicals eyes. For in
stance, on Friday last, in the Senate, Davis, of
Kentucky, in opposing the Civil Rights bill,
got off the following If the bill now before
the Senate become a law, 1 shall feel compel.
ed to regard myself as an enemy of the gov.
ernment, and to work for its overthrow
Senator Salisbury was scarcely less infiamatory,
declaring that the bill, if converted into law
over the veto, would be sufficient cause for
revolution, and advised the people to set their
houses in order to that end. He further sta
ted that in Delaware "the law will never be
observed by the judiciary" He also declared,
q few evenings since, in Copperhead meeting
In Washington, THAT jefferson Davis, when
he left the Senate, was better Union man
than Abraham Lincoln" Whatever may be
said against the Radicals, they are not near so
radical as these Copperheads; not so intoler-
ant, nor so vehement. They are not so deter
mined to carry their views through, to the dis.
regard of all others, as these simon pure Dem.
ocrats. Not radical Republican in Congress
would dare make such utterances as these, ever
if he thought so. Yet such remarks seem to have
elected but little surprise and no rebuke, coming
from the source they did. These men talk 81
much and SO long in the Senate that they hav,
talked away what little influence they may hav
possessed. In fact, they have become tn
pests of the Senate chamber; their speeche
empty the Hall of its members, and their viru
is treated with silent contempt
Although no regard is paid 20 these me
in Congress, still they represent and give uttel
ance to the sentiments of a large portion of tn
, Democracy. Prominent members of the part
J only suppress semilar views because they hay
more prudence than Davis or Salisbury
We believe that majority of the party wou
. prefer to see bloodshed, war and anarchy upC
t the country than to see the Civil Rights A

strife, but that they desire complete break-l
In the Republican party. The President
4 urged not to execute the bill on its becomil
d a law, with the hope that Congress may il
d peach him, and thus bring about that state
y affairs so devoutly wished for by the Copp,
,e head leaders.
IL To show to what extent this revolutions
T. spirit is carried, writer in the New YC
Nesos suggests that the President might d
ba pose of Congress by arresting the memb
to and hanging them. He is implored to use
he sword. Another writer in the Philadelp
tie Age thinks Mr.. johnson should use the ba
bo net with Congress after the manner of Gre
rs, well. This shows the feelings of the pal

THE PEACH CRop-The heavy frost yester-
day morning has, it is feared, brought addi-
tional injury upon the peach prospect. The
trees, especially of the earlier varieties, are
blooming; hence the fear. II seems to be the
opinion among growers that third of crop
may be grown.

The Grafton Of Senator CreswelI

The Grafton of Senator Creswell in the
House of Representatives, on the 22d ult.,
in commemoration of Hon. Henry Winter
Davis, was one of Mr.. Creswell's greatest
efforts, and fully realized the expectations
of his friends. AS tribute to the lamented
Davis it was eloquent and appreciative as
a literary production, full of bold utterance,
evncing much beauty of diction. Mr.. Cres-
we'll may rest his claims on this great effort
as an orator Of no mean pretensions.
We wish our State was represented by
more men of his bold speech and undaunted
courage to pursue the right, let whatever
difficulties interpose. This is the only safe
road to honor and usefulness by men who
aspire to serve their State. Had Henry
Winter Davis pursued the course of Reverdy
} Johnson, where would now have been his
great fame? He always dared to do right
in the darkest hour, and those who would
emulate his fame must follow his example.
The Grafton rs spoken of by the press in
che highest terms.
