The debt of this country, and the taxation

engaged In the slave trade, but whose largest
transaction In that line Was the sale of Ireland

benefit of just such policy at the hands of
England as that which Radicalism proposes
to deal out to the Southern States. From the
moment of the sale and subjugatIou, the new

tired, what they cat and when they eat, who
they worshipped and how they worshipped,

Commingling with these, and having just

TO WHAT ARE WE COMING.

The Now York Independent, the leading
Radical organ Of that city, has the audacity
in recent issue to declare that ono man
shall be President of the United States. who
does not ask the negro" Such is the ulti-
mate result of Radicalisns in Virginia, no less
than in New York. From polite reasons,
the true sentiment may be smothcred. but it
Is only for time. Even the Bison Bolts
had the hardihood in the ,niscegenation con-
ventlon of Philadelphia, to declare to the dis
grace of himself and the dishonor of the
State to which he claims to belong. che
thought that sooner or later. in Gods good
time, universal suffrage would come" For
oven tins Postponement proposed by the Bor-
der States, with Gov Foreman ut their head.
until the elections were over,' more honest
representative of the motley conclave pro-
Claimed III the fullncss of his heart sslet MS
make this Gods time" The elections mo,
being over, Bolts, Foreman and their weak
knced and time-scrving cohorts, asked leave
to retire, as they could not face the music
Gov. Foreman declaring that upon the negro
question the people were not quite ready for
the change, and its adhercnts would meet
with ignominious and overwhelming defeat.
Senator Wiley of Hest Virginia, had. no
scrupIes on the subject, he was for the negro
''o'0 and forever and to this condition, our
readers, we must come at last, if Radicalism
IS permitted to reign but short time more.
'Loyalists" of Jefferson, have you no sense
of shame, or are you lost to all the instincts
+. of your carly manhood? If this is not to be
s'white MANS Government, do proclaim It
at thu. ensuing election 10y your Radical vote.
and ietsyour neighbors and the world govern
themselves accordingly.

ToREIMPEAcHEn

The Radicals have made up their mind to
impcach President johnson, and are calling
on Congress to do it, and do it speedily
Wendell Phillips, who has more brains than
all of his party put together, and who preaeh-
cs far moro for the benefit of that party than
he does for the salvation of sinners or the
glory of God, has issued his mandate to Con
gFess in which he directs them to proceed
with the impeachment without delay. He
says that the House of Representatives. i'm
medlately upon its next meeting, should go
at the work of preparing the order and that
as soon as this shall have been done, and
while the trial is being developed, they
should temporarily depose Mr. johnson, and
appoint President al interim, to await the
verdict of the Senate. Where. Mr.. Phillips
derives the power in Congress for this act we
know not, and he cares not. 1t is certainly
not to be found in the Federal Constitution.
If Congress will do it, they need not stop to
enquire whether it has been rightfuIly and
lawfully done; but they must DO it for the
benefit of radicalism, and in defiance of all
known law. Under this arrangement marked
out by the New England pulpit politician,
there will be no need for the Senate to has
ten the trial-indeed, it would suit the pur-
pose in view, for tho Senate to delay trial al
inttmttuns. Mr.. johnson would be out, and
Sumner, or Wade, Wiley, or some other
blood-thirsting Senator would be in; and when
in, could proceed with the work of hanging
and coniiscating rebels and their property,
and putting their nccks, and those of north
ern "copperheads," under the feet of the ne
gro or the yoke of New England puritanism.
And if General Grant, who has lately grown
into much disfavor with this party, should in
terpose his terms of equalization to save Lee
and his brave followers from the fury of these
fiends, he would have his military head cut
off by blow from the same hands that laid
President johnson low. Everything, and
everybody must give way to the success of
radicalism. "To the victors belong the spoils"
is an adage that must have new and forcible
Interpretation given it aud as General Grant
and the other real victors don't want the
spoils in any other way than of restored
Union, they must give way for those who did
not win them save by proxy.

BALL GLuns.-organized parties for the.
purpose of practicing with the ball, has long.
been the most fashionable and approved Of
athletic sports. In the cities and large towns
numerous Clubs exist, but the spirit of the
game has but recently been introduced in our
midst, yet It has already become the excite-
ment Of the hour The "Stonewall,' was first
organized, large in numbers and embracing
many members who promise with little more
practice to become experts atthe game. The
"0ld Dominion" with % members, was or
ganized on Friday last, with Arthur w.
Hawks, as President B. d. Avis, Vice do;
w. w. Rowan. Secretary w. s. Mason,
Treasurer; G. BeH Mason and n. G.. Moore,
list and I'd Captains; Charles. Starry and
George Craighiu, second 1st, and second I'd
There is still another Club being formed,
whose number is indefinite, as its members
are to be composed of the South of the town,
and their name is legion. DR. Simmons, as
the boys inform us, has kindly consented to
act as Umpire, and as to other officers they
consider it immaterial, their motto being that
the race is to the swift aad the battle to- the
strong."
