because there is. no break among

wards they will sec changes going on
very rapidly, which doubtless will be
hastcned and augmented by putting
out of Office every "disunionist.
President Johnson. thus far, has
forborne to use his patronage to sup
port his policy. He has still in his
corps of constitutional advisers three
men, at least, who are opposed to his
measures: but we are of opinion that
the fierce war waged against him by
the radicals will constrain him 10 re-
movo them. All the signs of the
times indicate the disintegration of
the present dominant party, and
these signs are more noticeable in the
great Northwestern States. The To-
cal elections in Indiana aud Illinois
show unprecedented gains forthe con-
servative party, and, indeed, from all
quarters comes q ground swell which
precedes the earthquake that will as
s'redly engulph The radical faction.
We have very little doubt but that
the conservative or Democratic party
will sweep the country in the fall
elections, and overwhelmingly elect
the next President So mote it be.
From present indications, the radi-
cal engineers are about to be hoisted
by their own petard." If there were
no negroes in the "loyal" States, the
attempted elevation of Cuffee to a 20
sition of social and civil equality with
the white inhabitants of the South
would be submitted to by our ssNorth-
ern brethren with extraordinary
equanlmity and sublime fortitude.
But there are i'll the Northern States
hundreds Of thousands Of negroes
who are very black, bumptious,
odorlferous, conceited and insolent.
They have lost no time, it seems. in
exercising all the rights, social and
political, which the radicals declare
are secured to them in the bill which
was made law despite the veto of
the President.
AS the prejutlices of color and race
are really much more violent at the
North than even at the South. the
energy with which the Northern ne
groes are just now asserting their
rights is greatly disgusting the whites.
Already has Cuffee claimed the right
TO SIT where he pleases in the concert
rooms, theatres, restaurants, omni-
busses, railroad cars, steamboats, and
churches OF tho North Inspired by
the civil rights bill, he is demonstrat-
ing, with unpleasant pertinacity, that
he IS "some pumpkins
The "black draught," it is very
evident, is working beautifully. and
the intense disgust and Indignation
with which the Northern papers al
lude to the practical operations of
the civil rights bill is very divertins
These complaints are unreasonable
aid lninaiiy, however: for if Cufhffcc
cannot take liberties with his friends,
what IS he to do? We fear the inter
est felt by the negrophilist in the po-
htlcal and social Advancement of the
negro is very like that which Artcmus
Ward took In the late war, when he
declared he would ''chcerfnlly sacri-
nee his own cousins and all Of his
wife e'srelatives to preserve the Union ;"
They are perfectly willing to see the
Southern negro elevated, but their
own black neighbors must be pun
lshed, If they give themselves airs.
