Radicals. The Radical ticket has been over

ton. Caayassers for both parties were al
the voting place, and tickets were freely dis
tributed. The Democrats have not been al
lowed to do this for the past FIVE years; and
during that period they have been driven
from the polls. The vote cast was about six
thousand five hundred. At the October
election in 1864, the Republican majority
was over seven thousand. At the closing

PARsoN BRowNLow said, in his last speech,
that if Clay, or Webster, or Adams had ap-
preached him on the subject of Southern
Confederacy, he would probably have en-
braced the proposition because they were
Wings, but that he would not start on a
journey to heaven with Democrats. The
want Of principle displayed in this confession
precludes the probability of his starting on
such journey, alone, or in company with
anybody.

WE copy few extracts from the debate
on the Civil Rights Bill, as premouitary
symptoms Of approaching trouble. Mr..
Doolittle said:
He denounced the measure as unconsti.
tutional, and said its passage would be the
beginning Of revolution. He affected to
deplore war, but said it must come. There
was no judge in his State, who would at
tempt to execute the provisions of the bill,
and the people of Delaware would see their
land drenched in blood before they would
permit 1t. He had opposed the war of the
last four years, and was now more than ever
glad that he had done 60, for he knew It pre-
luded disunion. For his part he could see
nothing in the future but blood"
Mr.. Davis, of Kentucky, said:
Pass your Freedmen's Bureau Bill and
Civil Rights Bill, and henceforth I am the
enemy ofy your Government and will spend
the feeble remnant OF my life in efforts to
overthrow ftp
Mr.. McDougal also denounced the bill, and
predicted that its passage would inaugurate a
revolution.
Whether, Or not, these Senators speak ad-
visedly, II is not for US to decide. The con-
test and the result is with the people of the
North. They can see from radical treatment
OF the South what will be the treatment of the
North should the destructives succeed in
overriding the President and the Constitu-
ton. Let the people of the North take
warningere it be too late, and let them keep
It in mind that despotic rule over the South
will lead to despotism over the whole
country. The question is now up for popu-
lar adjudication, and upon its decision hangs
the destiny Of the whole country.

1twoald seem, from the tone Of the Radi-
cal press, rs well As from the acts of the
Radical Congress, that an impeachment Of
the President is seriously contemplated. The
grounds for such an attempt can as easily be
found as for the expulsion of Senator Stock
ton, and several members of the lower House.
The wicked can always find a pretext for
their iniquities. The success Of such mea-
sure must depend, in great degree, upon
the course which tho President may sdopt
towards the disorganizers who are making
war upon him, the Constitution and the en-.
tire country. He Is the obstacle in the way
Of their nefarious designs, and their pcrsis-
tence in evil doing leaves no grounds for
hope that any means will be overlooked by
which he may be removed. Asa coordinate
Department he has at least equal power
with themselves, and there can BE- no doubt
that his power should be exeYted in his own
defense, as well as for the maintenance of
the Constitution, and the liberties guaran-
teed by 1t.
Not only is the policy Of the Radicals
revolutionary in the extreme, but the Con-
gresa as now constituted, is an unlawful
ossemhlage, provided the Southern States are
really part of the Union. There is nothing
upon which an impeachment can be right
fully based, and the iniquity of such pro-
ceeding would be greatly aggravated by the
fact that the body contemplating it, is not
a Congress of the United States. OF course
the President understands all this far better
than we do, and our remarks are merely
the speculations o. a DISTINGUISHED locker on.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Once, during the summers solstice,
when everybody that was anybody lex
cept myself had gone out of town. was
lost to my own devices during the day
and Ben's society in the evening for what
amusement could find in hot pavements,
shaded houses and hbations of ics-water,
for the space of two never-to- -be-forgotten
weeks.
l had inundated myself on the shrine
Of sisterIy affection, for Ben's downtown
affairs could not possibly be wound up
before the specified two weeks had expired,
and n most comfortable feeling of self
Righteousness accompanied the sacrifice.
70 be sure, trip to Lake George was
promised me as the reward of merit and
with thi. in prospect, my captivity became
quite endurable.
All the neighbors had deserted us and
l had watched trunk after trunk, carriage
after carriage, starting for various desti-
nations. The newspapers afforded me,
in the letters from watering places, the
delectable information that ''Miss b
was charming in dress of blue Grape
and pink trimmings :" "Mrs. G.,
handsome and distaague, in crimson MORE
antique !" Mrs. L like sunset cloud
in violet silk" and so on through the al
phabet generally. As 1 knew some of
these people very well, wondered if a
transformation had taken place from
change Of residence; and hoped that,
whatever it was, might not fail to catch

like the Arabs, and glide in the darkness
away.

when did go but think there is some
thing like this in one of Longfellow's
poems.

The Dying Year.
BY s. 3. MCCORMICK.

What solemn thoughts now cluster round
the soul. .....
As we behold the checkered landscape
fading,
And Winters King assuming that control
That Summers Queen once swayed with
smiles pervadihg;
The living mourn while mingling with the
dying,
And for the dead the Autumn winds are
sigbing.
Like the unburied on some battle field,
The withered flowers lie leafess. pale and
bleaching,
Their fragrance wasted, which warm suns
die yield. ...-..
To gentle zephyrs and to dews beseeching
On earth's cold bier lies natures beauty
sleeping,
And o'er each faded form cold rains are
weeping.
Wild night-winds round the cheerless, ice
clad caves,
And through leafess forest branches
waving,
Sing funeral dirges, which the rustling leaves
Re-echo to the eddying storm assailing,
And from o'erspreading clouds, broad snow
flakes flying,
IN sad procession, follow up the dying.
The orchard, where but one brief month ago,
ha ;ta l.
shining,
Stands leafess, trembling in the rain and
snow,
Robbed Of its treasures, and in want re-
pining;
And frightened birds, on weary pinfons
leaving,
.-s Fit through the grim, denuding branches
grieving.
From murmuring streams there comes the
mufied sound
Of waves complaining to the CLASSY edges,
And icicles, that dangle all around,
Chant winter-dirges as they cling to hedges.
And sombre clouds to chilling winds Iepin-
ing.
Collect in groups to keep the stars from
shining.
Where'er the eyes in weary glances turn.
Around, above, beneath. in field or mes
dow,
The dreary scenes but cause the heart to
yearn,
And spread a gloom, as twilight spreads
shadow,
And shade and gloom upon the heart en-
crosching,
Are but the symbols of death approach

Ills pity for him that he isn't insane, for
it would be the only excuse, utter mental
lmbecility excepted, for the disgrace he is
lnhlcting upon the State in which he dwells.
he calls himself man Of God. He profes
ses to be a messenger Of "peace and good
will to men," He holds himself up, or out,
as saint ordained and anointed to establish
the spirit of Christianity among mankind
But be has ever promoted strifes, and fights
and bIoodshed in ghborhoods."
"lbere has never been anv more religion
or decency in bis sermons, or bis prayers, or

than in the yelling of hyenas, the cursing Of
pirates or the ohjurgations of barlots He
has desecrated the house Of God as much by
bis blasphemies as if be had stolen the sac

What an infinitely miserable old man this

the qualification Of his malice. He has ever
been seeking to steal upon his unsuspectiug
neighbors like hungry cat upon bird.
Every man has deadly antipathy to
him. They say there are people who have
such an antipathy to black cats that they
nstinctively know if one is within hundred
yards Of them in the darkest night, and we
are sure that decent people would recognize
his proximity at that distance. He can

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE CHoLEKA.-Those
Of our readers, says the Flag, who allowed
themselves to become nervous at the mere
thought Of the possible visit Of the cholera
to this country, are directed to perusaI of
the following, which we clip from an eastern
exchange:
A cotemporary, speaking Of the great pre-
parations for the cholera, prints from the
census returns, statistics showing that from
the LIST of June, l849, to the lst Of June
1850 there died of cholera in the United
Stated 81 ,306 persons, and of consumption
during the same time 33,5l6. AS the
cholera visits US only once in seventeen years,
it is seen that almost twenty Of our people
are carried off by consumption to one by
cholera. And yet cholera spreads great ter
ror, while consumption creates little fear.
