Consistency is a great treasure; when
il can be found, it should be preserved
with far moro care than we usually
give to tho preservation OF precious
metals. There probably was a day in
the History Of our Republic wnon the
leading politicians of the ruling politi-
cal party Of the country could have
their anteoedents bear the scrutiny Of
their opponents without fear Of an ex-
position Of great incongruities. But
those are days Of the past, and tho
great. treasure of consistency Is known
NO more TO our ofice-holdcrs. The
man who can ride INTO Office on some
now hobby, which has had It's origin
IN the brain OF some In natical bigot.
who thinks Massachusetts the universe
and Boston tho hub of the Wheel, no
matter how contradictory it is of his
ehunicIated tenets, is the successful pol
.tician ofthe present day. Tho prin-
cipIes Of civil and religious liberty are
esehewcd, the study and regard for our
Constitutional form Of Government
has been abandoned. All that the
man who desires an office pays the
least attention to is the hobby by which
the people a be deluded. They
swear to day by this or that belief, and
tomorrow they ask the votes of the
people on an entirely new and contra
dictory platform. Elk Colonel F. B,
Pond, the Radical Candidate for the
Office of Representive for this County.
is no novice in this political chancery.
He has studied well the means by
which u offices are filed, and, accor-
dinghy, his politiesl bearing has been
that of a man who cares for naught
but official position and enOluments,
Our citizens need but compare tho pc.
sition the Colonel took In the late war
with tho position he now assumes to
be convinced Of the truth of the above
Semarks. As our citizens wslk well
remember, no was a strong advocate
Of the war and appealed to the passions
Of the people by reiteratng the prin-
eiples whSSb his action now shows to
hAvo bsen thu h6bbioS of those days

FerOCity in Congress.

The New York Tines, a Republican
journal, reads it party n lesson for
regarding ferocity in Congress MS an
element Of progress. It alludes 10 the
favor with which the resolution of
Shanbs, Of Indiana, was received in
the House approving Of the murder of
Maximillian IN Mexico, and to the
speech of Mr.. Upton, Of Nebraska, in
the Senate, favOring u premium upon
Indian scalps. 1t then says:
Eighteen centuries and n half oil
rule upon Christian principles have
brought us To this that the newest
Government Of the world, avowedly
based on the most exalted sentiments
and in the face Of II people who are
destined to exercise q greater influence
upon the course Of hcman affairs than
any other people that ever existed
men are to urge the rcadoption OF the
barbar0us codes which were becoming
obsolete before the time OF Christ
Such is the progress ofwhich we hear
so much"
1t says there is a feeling becoming
prevalent IN its party that would con.
duct the Government in precisely tho
same manner as the King Of Dahomey
the bloody and despotic of all th,
African negro tyrants.

On the cry OF "treason" and of"Union"
he raised a company Of volunteers, and
was afterward made Colonel Of a Reg
iment. When told by Democrats that
the war he was supporting by his
spread-eagle speeches was a war car"
RED on for the purpose of bringing
about the desires of the obolitiohists,
who had sworn IN eternal enmity
against the Constitution of the United
States, he denied it and said he was
in favor Of the Constitution and the
laws as they were. How now with
the Colonel2 Ho stands now at the
head Of that party, in Morgan Coun-
ty, which excludes ten States from
representation in Congress; which has
forced and still keeps upon those ten
States a military dcspotism; which
gives no heed to that Constitution
which the Colonel so little time age
wasa supporte which advocates negro
equality and amalgamation. And the
l Colonel does not remain n silent Can
didate for Office upon such a platform
by any means. He talks as c%loquently
of tho beauties off Military Desp0tisn
as he did so recently Of the beauties o
a free government under our old Con-
stitution. His sprcad-eagle speeches
TEEN with an admiration greater fol

did a few years ago for q qualified doc.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET,
Black Mail-The way the Radi-
cnl Party IN Sustained.

Considerable has been said OF late
regarding the item cent system
Of the Democracy for raising funds
necessary to carry Oh the coming pc.
litical campaign. 1t has excited the
ridicule of most o! the Radical press,
and has been the subject of many q
would be sarcastic editorial. But. on
tho other hand, we ask il it has ever
occurred to the people that the RAD
calls have q system Of raising campaign
funds, which is peculiarly their own
ana, further, We ask is it known what
that system is. To those who are not
initiated we think We can give a little
information, 1t consists in q regular
Systsu of Black MoRiaq. Every officer
in the Radical ranks, from Governor
down to the most meagerly paid Post
master and most Inconsiderable CouE.
" officer has a tax levied upon aim by
the powers that DO; and, in accordance
with tho corrupt customs of the party,
he is either forced to pay tue tax, OF
lotk-to be an oGloe-holder no longer
than tho term of service for which he
enlisted. Tho of~ace-holder has nc
voice in the matter, and, it he is n true
disciple ofthis corrupt party he hands
ovor the tax without word. THIS 10

TIE military Mayor of Mobile, Ala.

The military Mayor of Mobile, Ala.
has removed eighteen white laborcrs
employed by the city, and appointed
"culled persons" IN their places. Tho
whites removed are all Irish, with but
n exception. This shows the animus
Of the party in power. What was
done IN Alabama will he done in the
North as soon as the Radicals deem it
discreet to show their hands. The
white laborer everywhere is to be
crowded out by the negro ircleriHc
