IHE RADICALS CAvE.-Amone q
few credulous persons, the notion
prevailed, that whatever the vices of
the Republican faction, they were, at
least. possessed of pluck and a reso-
lutte determination to push their prin-
clples into practical effect Hence
on the part of these individuals a
confident expectation of rupture
between the President and the Re-
publican party. In manner not to
be mistaken and not to be endured
by a high-spirited adversary, he hurled
defiance at the leaders of the faction,
and challenged them to mortal COM
bat. Now, mark how meekly they
resent the affront. Even Sumner is
silent; and the pugnacious Stevens
digests the insult with Christian mag
nanimity. Instead of the fierce mea-
sures Of retaliation with which the
President was menaced by the radical
majority in Congress, he is caressed
and caJoled by every affectionate
olandlshment. Even as the surly
bulldog is subdued by a vigorous
employment of the lash, so are the
radical leaders in Congress tanned by
pungent application Of the Presiden-
tlal rod. In the Cabinet, the same
submissive temper is exhibited; and
the designations with a rumor of
which the country was recently ex-
liberated are substituted by Mr.. Ray.

son was called, and, after some e1-
plantations by counsel, was set for
trial on the first Monday of March

election of the new Constitution, last
May, full particulars of the incident

take the oath contained in the third
section of the new Constitution; in
other words, exacting from him u
compliance with the new Constitu-
ton as a requisite for voting upon
the question whether the new Con.
stitution should be adopted, and thus
become the supreme law of the State.
MIR. Glover, counsel for plaintiff,

remarks made on both sides, when
the case came up on Monday, that he
would print his argument, and have
copy of it delivered in advance to
G. ID. Drake, counsel for the defend

A Northern cotelnporary, address

properly remarks that he can be no
true friend and supporter of Andrew
Johnson, North or South, who, in so
moment as this. would
utter one word or do one single act
to spread dissension and ill-feeling
among the two sections Of our COM
mon country.
