At this juncture, Landon G. Haynes APP
peared upon the stand, and addressed the
vast assemblagc. In the course of his re-
marks he said
The Radicals now stand since the war
where the COnfederates stood before and
the Confederates were for a secession and
separation Of the States, and since the war
the Radicals have been for perpetuating
that secession and separation. They only
differ in this regard upon a point Of time.
The Confederate was first and the Radical
last And if it be true that the first shall
be last and last shall be first then the dis
tinctien between the Confederate and the
Radical is a distinction without difference.
