Our readers know something OF most of
he gentlemen named above, especially, Of
he so-called '.Governor Hamilton Of
Texas. The Houston Telegraph, of the llth
fAugust last, speaking Of this precious
tadical, says that from 1858 to 1858,
was most, violent secessi0nist,
nd an earnest and open advocate of
he reopening of the African slave
rade. After the war commenced, he APP
lied to leading merchant of Galveston
or money to raise a company for the Con-
ederate service. This same Hamilton also
resided at a public meeting held at Aus
In, at which a committee was by him APP
,ointed, as President of the meeting, to pre-
ent cane made of the toughest wood
rown on the soil of Texas, to Preston 8.
Brooks, of South Carolina, for the castiga-
ion he inflicted upon Senator Sumner, of
Massachusetts,.
We append the following notice Of this
anne, Gov. Hamilton, familiarity called
Jack Hamilton" from the Rochester Union
b recent date: "7 ..'
< AT the Philadelphia Radical Convention
i"Governor" Hamilton told his hearers:
a'Prepare your hearts, and your arms, too,
perhaps, for another conflict" [Cries Of
!" We ae ready."l
Again, on being received at Trenton on
Monday, with Parson Brownlow, he said
''Tbe great question upon which be
president Johnson) claims your support
is that he wants to restore the Union. l
cannot respond to the sentiment so often
expressed, The Union as it was and the
Constitution as it is.' / WANT THE
UNION AS 1T WASN'T AND THE
CONSTITUTION AS IT is NOT"
Was not Gov. Hamilton urged by a Texan
friend, when he came to Washington few
months ago and stood upon the fence, to go
back to Texas, to behave himself, and seek
preferment at the hands OF his fellow citi-
zens? And did he not reply that he knew
id well he could get nothing from
them, and that he meant to make all he
could of this Radical tbing?"
Has Gov. Hamilton any other visible
means of support than the stipend allowed
him by the committee having the Radical
corruption fund in charge?
OF the. person styled by the Morning
Journal, the Hon. U. G. Yarmouth, of Lou
'siana, we find the following graphic de-
cription in the Albany Argls of the 18th
lnst.: a-r .-.t. ~.. 1u j.s.,. y.
"A person calling himself "Judge" War
nouth, of Louisiana, is paraded among the
y;outhern "Loyalists." He is passed off as
4 native of the South, and one who has suf
cred for standing out against secession.
low, the facts are, that this Yarmouth

l he war, and for a few weeks held the post
( Provost Judge under military authority.
lie remained in New Orleans after the war,
because he thought he could make more
money tiianby returning to Illinois. This
the 'Judge" Yarmouth. He is Just
lbout as much Of a Loyal Southeruer as
Newman. On Saturday night this ''perselI
chted Judge" spoke in Troy. He said o'i
"We want no lehieney shown to traitors
mo admission to Congress under the test
oath. We take the position, as Southern
loyalists, in common with the great Radi-
cal party, that the rebels and traitors who
endeavored to destroy this Government,
haye no rights-they were all forfeited by
the act Of Secession. We believe that the
loyal North has the right to HANG THEM.
SHOOT THEM, aC0NFISCATE THEIR
PROPERTY, or pardon them, II II so
chooses, through its representatives In
Congress" t-'1't
Ofcourse he wants the Southerners shot
and their property eonfscated. He went
there for plumber, and he now imposes upon
the Northern people this kind Of trash, in
the hope of stirring up another civil war.
Or failing In this, he wants Southern men
kept out OF Congress, SO as to enable him to
go in their place. Modest Yarmouth! ! And
in order to further his plans, goes on to in
struct Northern men in their duty, as fol-
lows: .EH "l s.''r.
ave demand the suffrage equally for all
--tor the negro as well as the so-ealled su-
perior race, No matter what our prejudl-
ces may be, policy should dictate the course.
We are, no doubt, the noblest of the noble
the aristocrats of the human race. The
blood flowing in our veins Is doubtless
purer than that which throbs the pulse OF
any other order Of humanity-our skin the
wbitest and fairest. We are made of the
best possible description of clay-the very
best that was on hand at the time. But let
me whisper ever so softly in your ear that
Necessity makes strange bed fellows"
Necessity-that lever Of all human actions
has made the negro, ifnot our bed-fellow
in a literal sense, at least metaphorically.
He is necessary to our existence. His vote
will secure us loyal representatives in Con-
gress, and loyal judges, lawyers, clergymen,
editors, and citizens in our States, and that
we shall never obtain without negro suf-
frage." '''a5i3 'ai y ON fr'''.
Here we have the gist Of the whole argu-
ment. "Letthe negroes vote, and they win
make United States Congressman, Judges
and Governors" The North Is asked to
keep the Union divided to accommodate q
few adventurers like this "persecuted

Between seven and eight O'Clock last

A. small knot of curiesity-seekers stood
