The Latest Moves of the Radicals.

Inc LATEST moves OF the tSaolCa!s'
The movement of Mr.. THAD. STEVENS
on the subject Of Mexico, and the rcsolu-
lions relative to the Fcnians, which were
duly referred by the House of Representa-
tivcs 10 their committee, show how i'm.
portsnt il has become to the Radicals to
recruit their strength in order TO extend
the duration of their wretchedly abused
power. Both movements have the object
Of prcducing sensation and influencing
number of votes. 1t may be doubted
whether, with reference TO Mexico, any

Mexico in turmoil and anarchy-is enter.

millions of dollars to them, with which
they are to be left to work ont their own

RIGA, il has some claims 10 dignity and
respect compared with the contemplate
coquctting with the fenian>. The Rad
Gals understand the warm-heartcd and i'm
pulsive Irish. They know how they were
used in the late war, being inreiglcd into
the army by promises that after the south
was conquered England would be hum
blcd, and ireland liberated Ivy the Federal
Power. Yet calculating upon the con
nding disposition of the Irish, they deem
them easily to be humbuggcd second
time by the same people, especially when
they can take advantage Of their 'indigna.

comply with the treaty obligations of the
country. They see that il is easy to still

where they have stood for years, and mus.

Really these Radicals can do nothing to
help the Irish unless they do that which
will bring about war with England, which
we have no idea they dream of.

which are in themselves most serious
and which, if pushed TO any length
must bring troubles of magnitude upon
the nation, merely TO influence the cleo.
tions in this country. And in this the.
are but pursuing the policy and motives
which have influenced all their acts and
declarations during the present Congress.
They have subordinated everything to THEN
greed for office and Government plumber
They have been ready TO sacrifice the inte-
rest, the peace, and happiness Of their
country for the promotion Of their selfish
ends, and they are equally ready to tritc
with our foreign relations with the same
purpose at heart. There certainly should
be intelligence and sagacity enough in the
majority. of northern people to see through
the transparent veil which is thrown around
the motives of this reckless and malignant
party; and such party cannot long per-
vert the proper destiny of this nation.
