Hostility to Rotten Radicalism.

The National Inteiiigcncer, reVlealng the
clements of hostility to Radicalsm which uni-
ted to produce the glorious results in the re-
cent elections, concludes with the following
Suggestions, which are verify Of attentive
consideration:
at is worth while that forms Of issacshould
be Changed from orc simply AID solely against
the common enemy--the wolves that have
been at our door, and ere still howling in full

king? Is there any good conscience or sound
policy in tho idea that now, when the victory
OF this year is, intefftct, ouly q nal winning
of the Presidential contest, that The shades Ct
differance between. the. elements. that have
united to triumph over rotten Radlcaii>m
should be brought into discussion, when such
shades Of difference can have no other refer
encc than to stale ard cF.te points about 'Nen,
an: none to Lying Issues upon principles;
policy or just measures? Saall not the Gle
ments that have been united in hostility to
Radicaiism Since It's inception in its worst
forms, during tie war. continue 10 be unltel
to the common end OF its utter destruction

The Radicals are still in power. They have
usurped the Government. Let them take all
the responsibilities. We arc right, and safe
upon the platform of eternal hostility to every
form Of rotten Radicalisin. Wherever when:
ever, and hpwcTcr it obtrudes itself, train all
guns against it Do this in the rump Con-
sress. Dolhis in the Legislature of the States
Do this in political d scussions at political
meetings. Do this by the press. Do this by
conversations. bT correspondence, and, indeed,
sll Other. proper methods, ways and means

For these let thoughts Of mere men be post
uorcd for six month. Tben let national

Doiptcd time the serried host will move to
Glorious victory. When that day shall arrive,
and not until then, will the responsibilities of
government pass from Radical hands, and be
lodged with the national party, whose states
men will in even that triumphant hour lave
to seek the salvation Of our common country
with fear aud trembling.
