GGyR It were bootlcss now to remon- strate against anything the Radicals may do,. or to enquire by what author ity, law or custom this or that thing is or may be done. In the Radical cata- loguc of prerogativcs, might makes right;" and constitutions and laws are regarded as but tracings upon the sands of the scashore, which every wave may erase. The South has taken her stand. It is one of digniticd and pa tent waiting. Let tho worst come and the sooner the better, if there be any worst vet ill store for Us. With a unanimity as cheering as it is just, the ten Southern States will reject all fur ther amendments of the constitution of our fathers. If we must live in a Un- ion with men to teach no lesson but ha- tred, it shall be under the framework of a government founded by the great and glorious patriots of the past, who left it to LIS and our children as a lcga- cy ofliberty which has won the admi- ration Of the civilized world. If that foundation, or its supcrstructurc be ever again altered, it will not be by the sons of the men who were it's archi- tects and builders, Let that be the work of vandal hands not that of Southern men. These last have always loved and revercd the constitutution O. the United States. When they aspircd to a separate government it was that they might not live with the fanatics who now controlit it. They had no ob- iection to the constitution itself; for they adopted it as their own, almost word for word. They did not think they could much improve the work of Madison and Hamilton. The achieve ment was left for Stevens and Butler. The South will never consent to it ; and with Kentucky, Maryland and Dele ware by her side, she can but feel proud of her position.'-[ Memphis Av- alanche.

At least three thousand Conservatives were deprived of their votes Cheating in one form or another was the order of the, day, and the cheating succeeded. Things cannot always go in this way.
