A short time since, Mr.. Dechert the large
genial Editor of the Hagerstown MaI, paid
visit to this place. He seems to have been
pleased, as will be seen by the following ex-
tract from an editorial letter dated, Staunton,
August the 18th:
''Since our arrival in this place, we have
spent jovial good time. We have had those
attentions paid us which make life sweet, and
to enjoy. is source Of much happiness We

dividual happiness, and that his paper will be

The New PARTY.

The Richmond Ecamiaer appreciates the
fact that the organization of new political
party has been rendered necessary by the results
of the war, and the unwarrantable position
assumed by the Radicals. 1t says:
"A necessity has arisen for new party.
Neither Of the old parties can command the
support now necessary to be combined for the
salvation of the Con titution and the Union =
Democrats cannot expect Wings to join their
party for work incumbent alike on Wings and
Democrats Wings cannot expect Democrats
to unite with them in reSuscitating the old
constitutional PARTY of Clay, Webster and Cal
houn. Yet, it is necessary forthe Conservative
men Of both parties to unite, in order to save
the constitutional principles which both parties
held equally dear.
The Union and the Constitution must be saved
by a combination of the best elements of the
old parties. 1t can, therefore, only be saved by
combination Of thee clements in new party.
Heretofore, in the history of the country, new
paite9 have failed but they failed because
they Were unnece> sary. Now, new party is
ab oIuJey essential aud now it will succeed.
The foundations Of this party were laid on The
10th instant at Philadelphia Its ilattrom is
crude and hastily framed and viii require
revision. But the party is formed, and it will
succeed.

Conservative citizens in Missouri now in
Washington city say that General Hancock will
undertake to protect them in their rights of
franchise at the polls. But riots and bloodshed
are frequently provoked in the canvass by the
Radicals. All the lives that may be lost in that
State in the canvass now begun, will, they say,
be Justly chargeable to Chief Justice Chase and
his Radical associates Of the United States Su-
preme Court. which court, at the last term, had
decided, in the Govesake case, that the Missouri
test oath was unconstitutional, but deferred the
announcement of the decision till the next
term-till after the fall elections.
We have the best assurance that the men,
bers of the Thinker Church cannot be enticed
into the Radical trap. They are the friends of
the Union as it existed before the war, and not
of such Union as Thad. Stevens and his
wicked followers would have and consequently
are In favor of President johnson policy, and
will cooperate with the conservative party or
ganized at Philadelphia on the 10th day of
August They are Union men in the true and

will receive no aid and comfort from Gen.
Grant in their more Man suspected designs to
break up the Government if the elections go
against them this autumn.

Hamilton, Of Texas, SO much lauded by the
Radicals, is scarcely exceeded in moral infamy
by his brother celebrity, Can't, of Arkansas. =
The Houston Telegraph says he has been
scamp from his boyhood. In 1853 he ran for
the legislature ana was beaten on the open al
legation that he was in the habit Of whipping
his wife, He'was violent secessionist as early
as 1858, and was for separate action on the part
Of Texas. He was for re-opening the African
slave-trade. When the late war broke out, he
tried to borrow money to raise company for
the Conf.derat service
This is the man whom the Northern Radicals
are taking to their bosoms and whose vote for
the Vice Presidency at the next election he is
seeking to obtain BY denouncing and >landering
and cursing the people of his own State.

The Washington National hateui-
gence'' states that statistics at the
Treasury Department show that the
commonly received opinion that there
IS balance of exports over imports
IN our foreign trade, is without found
alton. The official values of the ex-
ports are currency values; the values
OF imports are gold values; and, con-
sequently, for the purpose of compa-
rison, it becomes necessary to equal
ize them: For the three years, 1868,
"a, and IS, the imports amount to
1915, OO0,o 900 in gold, while the ex-
ports, valued officially in currency at
1912, 100000, when reduced to a.
gold standard, are 1862, 900, 900, leav-
ing, instead of an overplus in our
favor of $156,O00,OOO, a deficit of
Sl54, 100000 This is the true condi-
tion of our foreign trade, and proba-
bly, explains the great flow of our
Government securities to Europe.

HE COMING PRoCLAMATIoN.-I is
stated that the President has pre-
pared a proclamation declaratory of
the restoration of peace, and of the
right of the Southern States and
people to representation in the Ma
tional Legislature. Mr.. johnson
could not select :. better time than
the present to issue such proclama-
tion. The people expect it, demand
it; it will be hailed with acclamations
by the masses everywhere, except in
those New England districts where
the popular mind has been complete
ly perverted by the teachings of IA
naticism. The radicals are losing
heart. They would not rail so vio
lently against the President if thew
did not feel his power and fear it.
They are conscious that the verdict
OF the people is against them, and
that the supremacy that they gained
from the opportunities offered by
civil strife is vanishing from their
grasp. The fever is over, the pas
sions engendered by war are subsid-
ing, the multitudes are yielding to
the influence of reason, and appre-
ciate the policy that is due to the
emergencies of the hour. The in
cendiary appeals of demagogues fall.
If not unheeded, at least impatiently,
on the public ear. All men who re-
fleet calmly upon the situation ac-
knowledge the wisdom and states
manship of the Executive action,
and the country is ready to support
It's Chief Magistrate in the consum-
nation of his plan of reconstruction.
Such being the popular sentiment,
let Mr.. johnson take advantage of it
to push the political war with vigor.
The bluster of the radicals betrays
their weakness. They require the
stimulants of noisy wrath to sustain
them from dropping at the very crisis
of the conflict. They exhibit all the
symptoms of desperation, and, after
the first ebullition of their 'renzy,
will come their exhaust. :, their
hopelessness and complete .fcvmft-
ure. The President can moth
ing, may lose much, by te ,orising.
His enemies do not spar. him; let
him not spare them. He has to deal
with fanatics who will use every wea-
pom within their reach to annoy, to
weaken and to crush him. But, sup
ported by the popular will, he Yields
an influence that can put down all
opposition. He has taken ND the
gauntlet; now let him call to his aid
all the decision and energy of his
character and push the battle to an
end.-Neac York Neecs.
