Generous Radicals.

&ACAA~A @t<f1 N-N-N~sN~N~-'-
The radicals claim to be very generous,
quite magnanimous. TO US rebels. Every
speech or address that emanntes from that
ulcerous body, is spattered over with as
sertions Of their lenient policy towards US,
and our continued acts Of disloyalty 10
them, for they constitute themselves the
Union, the Government, the great :" am
Of the United States, etc. etc.
They have, indeed, been very generous,
magnanimous in their rat
ment Of ditarmed !" rebes." Then lerient
policy towards our beloved counlrymau,
Jefferson Davis, is fair picture of what
they consider justice. Not content with
numbering Mrs. .Sarratt, and others, they,
as has been proven to the world, added an
other to their long catalogue Of crimes, by
purchasing number Of poor, degraded,
ignorant wretches, who, although stepped
in vice, were honorable, when compared !
with the off-scou,ings Of hell they were
bought to serve, to perjure.themselyes, by
stating, under oath, that Jefferson Davis |
was privy 10 he deplorable circumstances
which resulted so sastiiously to the late
lamentrd President of portion of the
United States. If was anything lacking
to give them Il free passport to hell, this
one damnable plot was more than suffi-
cient. Such conspiracy, concocted by
men protesting TO be Christians and lovers
Of justice, is nearly beyond human con-
ceptions, and damning nature has, until
now, made us doubt its existence; but
doubt no longer shadows our mind. The
full evidence of the blacklist conspiracy
that ever disgraced nation has been bla-
zonod to the world, causing the most aban-
doned wretches, guilty of every crime, to
shudder as they contemplate the murder
Gus designs of those most accomplished Of
hell's foulest imps Ii many more damna-
BILE facts are brought to light, we viii be
inclined to think they, themselves, are the
mu!derers Of Mr.. Lincoln, Wretehes
who could arrange evidence TO convict an
innocent man of foul crime by legal
tribunal, are capable of becoming even
more than matlicides. What magnani-
NOUS and generous record for men occupy
ing places Of honor in the Councils of one
Of the greatest nations Of the world.
| In Gods name, what benefit would the
sacrifice of Mr.. Davis be TO those blood
thirsty wretches. The greatest of his sane
enemies scott at the idea Of his being con-
nectcd with the sad event which deprived
the Radicals of their leader, an occurrence
they pretend so much to abhor. If they
are such friends Of justice and haters Of
crime, why have they disgraced the hon
orable body with whom they are assoeiat.
ed, by attempting a crime at which tbs
devil shudders and turns away abashed.--
What delightful time his satanic majesty
will have when they are ordered TO his do
minioos. They will, certainly, set up a
he'll for themselves, with John Brown for
their king Stevens, Sumner, Phillips &
4 Co., high priests; Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, and have for their book Of holy
holy writ her Uncle Toms Cabin" from
which they win read scripture, and delight
their followers with deleclable anecdotes
of slave life in Dixie.
Hon. Jefferson Davis is as much entitled
to his freedom as any of US connected with
the " so-caled" rebellion. He was no
usurper, he arrogated no power to himself;
on the contrary, he remained in the coun-
ellis of the nation, urging and pleading for
peace and justice, for some time after his
4 State seeded and called on her sons to
take up arms. And when he returned
home, declined, for time, the leadership
Of the Coniederacy, and did not accept the
honorable position, until it was literally
forced upon him by the uaanime us voice
Of the people.
The gross outrages heaped upon thi;
illustrious gentleman are apparent even tc
his biuerest enemies; but it is their policy
to keep him crushed out from the pale Of
freedom. They fear him. lie stands be-

may chain his body, but never his princi

nights Of captivity may waste his frame
but never will he bow bis head TO iyranI,
at the sacrifice Of one iota of his cherished
tenets of freedom.
Oae consolation lie has in his dreary
