RADICAL PROGRAMME,

Wendell Phillips, Of Bostopy is the rea
leader Of tue Radical movement, by virtue
OF his having moro brains and more coNr-
ago than any OF, the rest Of the party. HI
does its thinking, and directs its policy and
action. In this view. the following pro-
Eramne which he has just dictated, is I'M,
portant---it Indicates 10 what issue and
complexion, the Radicals will come At last
in tho fight against the Constitution OF tho
: ,couplry, which is defended by the Presi-
dent and his friends: -
s@"Our truo policy is this: Ect Congress
plainly announce lis. belief tnat no State
:Ialely in rebellion is to be readm,tel'to
Congress. Let it lay down tho principle
that 40 one shaN crcr BE- u,l@';ittd s.rctpf Il
establishes u',i,rrSai. or at kaSt impartial
suffrage, and Men let Congress adjourn.
+, cry day ii continues in session, jeopurds
this srcuL cause. IT may be JvuvAt, but
lied er.,ieccicei. All tends that way while
Il is in session, exposed to Administrative
anilncncc. Oncc adjourned, let tho lines
be distinctly drawn, and go TO work to meet
1865 in earnest; tho interval h,tween now
AMI the next elections, Stale, National and
Tresidcutial, is meme too long for tho wo,k.
The treason Of President Johnson, and the
Impossibility Of impeaching him, leaves no
hope Of any earlier settlement. 1t is Just
as well, and much safer, to acknowledge
this. To adjourn and SO 10 the people on
this issuesis saving time. In This way,
spite Of the Pre- i1ent, tho whole fruit Of
the war may yet DO saved. With the
Iiues distinctly drawn, the fsh, above
board and Observation-Disclosures issue fairly
presented, nnd every Congressman stump
ing his own State, the nation may yet he
founded and built up on impartial and
absolute justice. Oar New England air
will save some OF our Senators ut least from
the compromise malaria Of Pennsylvania
Avenue.
"Any other course-drifiing about in
storm of constitutional amendments, pilct
blinded or drugged, aud rudder unshipped
allows timid and needless Senators to
put lis, bound hand and foot, into the
hands of tho eaemy5 under pretence Of be.
ing practical statesmen. Any other course
runs the risk of giving us another ten years
of just dislocated, discordant and perilous
national life as We have passed through
since 1866. Adj djourn Congress, then.-
Let every member turn Himself into wit.
ness, teacher and drill-master; and let our
bugle.call be, No State admitted at pres
ent, and none crer admitted aohich has the
aoord 'tchite,' or The recognition Of race, in
ats statute books. y
