ANOTHER STORY.

"Teil another story, Sir for The roast is
worry email to-day" We all remember the
story Of tho servant of ScARnoN, the celebrated
wit and first husband uf Madame tic MAiNrE-
NON. When his masters hospitality had over
lonpcd his prudence, and il was necessary 10
make his guests forget their desire for food.

food. They have been mnde 10 swallow Sambo
in every shnpc and form, done up in every
style, and cooked in evory way. They first
had him served up ns "the intelligent contra
band just arrived from Richmond" who would
not lie for anything on earth. Next he ap-
pcared dressed up in the Emancipation Pro-
clamation. Then he appeared in blue and
brass, and was decked out rs the loyalist Of
the South, md now he is the sole ingredient in
their dish of liberty and "manhood suffrage"
They feel, however, that tho people arc sick Of
this. They havo been invited to an entertain
mcnl and they cannot eat.
"Ono moro story" whispers the skllful sor-
want, and forthwith the story is manufactured.
Mr.. Senator TuAYER informs the people that
President JOHNSON is about to resist Congress
with arms, and we have no doubt that no will
find persons TO believe his statement That
will not do, Mr. THArER. The Boston Post
went out on your speech making expedition,
that you had expressed your intention of max
ing up revolution for the purpose of carry
ing the elections in the interest OF the party to
which you belong. Great is the Diana Of
tho Ephcsnus, Mr.. TuArER. Great is the

Seriously speaking, we are sick and tired of
hearing constant babblc about manhood suf-
frage." We know that if 1t means any thing at
all, except ruin to and vengeance on the South,
it means conflict sooner or later of races
The Northern people arc beginning 10 sec this,
and the Radical lenders begin 10 feel that
power is stealing from their grasp. One rero-
luton gave them strong foot hold, their waste
full extravaganza which may yet bring day of
vengeance on "shoddy' contractors, coupled
with newspaper gcneralsbip such as that e1hi

war, enabled them to strengthen their posi-

they abused when alive, but cauouised when
dead, gave them the entire control Of tho gov

to the wall. Terms were offered which we
could not accept without forfeiting our own
self-respsct. They were rejected as nil honest
men knew that they would be, and Reconstruc-
tion acts, bayonets and "munhood suffrage"
were substituted in tho place of the Constitu-
tionnl Amendment. At this point they we're met
by the statement, what is ustice 10 the black man
IN the South, is also justice to him in the
North. To have receded from tLeir posi-
ton at the South, would have been political
destruction. Not TO have advanced 10 the
same position at the North, would have been
political qualification aud annihilntion. They
sprung forward-Connecticut did not liko the
thought of mixing white and black blood at
homo, and rejected the party. California saw
the necessary results which would flow from
the triumph Of the theories of Radicalism. and
cast her vote in favor of the Constitution of
the United States. Whether the Radicals are
10 be defeated in. the great States Of Penusyl-
vana, New York and Ohio, cannot be stated
with certainty. The Radicals do not them
selves disguise,thatthey are weaker than they
were. SIMEON CAMERON, one of the shrewdest
of American politicians, declares that Phila-
dclPhia is lost to the party. The New York
Tribune admits that elections may be lost on the
question of negro suffrage.

many leaks to bo stopped The North has
been fooled long enough with sambo. II is
beginning to ask itself if the result Of the war
will not be, under Radical rule, not dissolution
OF the Union, but a total destruction of the
government. It is beginning to inquire if the
blood which has been split on both sides will
not have been shed in favor Of despotism, tn-
