Tho radical element has long been crying
the alarm throughout the country that Mr..
johnson is soon, By coup detat, to overthrow
the governm, mt by armed force and assume
dctatorial sway. There is, however, in tn,
stroke Of political policy than that which can
be carved out by tho sword. Bullet and
bayonet my mike wild work. but tho votes
of the people, urged to action by common
sense, wi l make a more sweeping overthrow
of ra1icalism than all the armies that can be
lying the mud political waves, is the power
that Mr.. Johnson should invoke; here. in the
people, bca's the great heart, tho great founda-
ton Of national saf;,tv. Let Mr.. JON re-
sign and appeal to It 10 reinstae him. TIE
radicals have long enough made him their po-
revolutionary schemes has been The real 70 'ce
which has given them united effort, consistency
of acton and the resultant force. They have
usel the executive power as point at which
all blows must be directed; and in the down.
fall of this the ra lical party must di appear,
eth in military dcspotsm or in fragm,n MS
forced into separate action over war for the
spells.
CONGRESS has completely lost sigh! Of the
object for which 1t was c,llel mo existence
by the people. Its members no longer repre-
sent the great principles which are the only
true basis Of national stability. They have be-
como, as it were, unit in contest for po-
lltical supremacy, and have, in the few short
years of radical rule, reached the same point
that the rebel element had reached in
1860. Their platform now Is what the
rebel platform was then-"rule or ruin |"
"When We cannot rule by the ballot we shall
appeal to the bullet" Trying the issue of the
first, they, through the negro, roll ignorance to
the summit and demand the nation to look on
and worship. TIE wife man must cling to
the bll and look to him for national reg enera-
ton. Our political sun Is growing so rsfalgent
that we must no longer look at it except
trough dark MEDIUM. Black becomes the
national color, and the republic, by the radi-
cal party, is forced into mourning. True to
ths ianaticil spirit VIII ch sways the minds OF
those who cry party first AMI country afler-
wards, the radicals, to m Ike the ballot surer,
to make the national wreck more complete, to
nix AL that nt,lligs nco holds of value in the
once proud United States, fin the procon,ular
system to be neces iy, AMI forthwith, Eve die
tatorships spring into existenc, upon soil
which we haughtly boast Is psrt Of the repub-
| lie. Down with the white up with the bl ,ck
and 10! at the word blsck st,nls where white
stood, and white abjestly takes the place Of
black. Ignorance is at premium and intel
ligence is No longer virtue.
The whole country Is ct length beginning "a
tire of this turmoil. Tho wave forced ON has
reached its food. Now comes reaction
California, the right wing Of the line, is broken
The left wing feels the shock, and in Maine
trcmbles almost to defeat Tho centre, il
Ohio, is so hard pressed that the most revolu

sense Of the people springing to save tn
