King George and King Radical.

1t is harily necessary to recall what
has been done in Louisiana BY the
Military Commander placed there,
and approved by the Secretary of
War; under the Military Construction
Bill. The authority for this use and
abuse Of power was granted by Con
gress, and Congress is, of course, re-
sponsble for the conversion of Ten
States into Five Military Dcspotisms,
and for all the evil consequences to
Liberty and Justice TO flow from this
act Such acts, however, impress us
deeply with the order of events in the
early history OF the Republic They
carry us back TO King George and the
Declaration Of American lndepend-
cnce,--a State paper for which Radi-
Gals profess very great reverence, but
to the real terms and meaning OF which
they pay very little respect The
charges made against the British King
were thus, in part, recorded;
lie has refused to pass laws for the secommoda-
ion Of large districts Of people, unless those pco-
pie would rclinquish the right Of representation IN
the Logislaturc--a right inestimable to them, and
formidable to tyfants only.
| lie has made judges dependent on his will also,
for the term Of their Office, and the amount and
payment Of their salaries.
lie has erected multitude OF now Offices, and
sent hithcr swarms Of officers, to harass our pco-
/ pie and eat out our substance.
lie has kept among rs, In time Of peace, stand
ing armies without the consent Of legislatures.
lie has affected 10 render the military indcpend-
ent Of, and superior 20, the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to q
/ jurisdiction foreign TO constitution and unac-
knowedged by our laws, giving his assent to their
pretended acts Of legislation
For quartering large bodies Of armed troops
among us;
For imposing iaxes on us without our consent;
For depriving as, In many cases, of the right Of
/ trial by Jury;
For taking away our charters abolishing our
most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally
the forms Of our governments;
For suspending our ownlegislaturcs, and declar-
ing themselves invested with power to legislate ioT
Us in all cases whatsoever
And it was forcibly added that
"A prince whose character is thus marked BY eve
ry act which may define tyrant, is unfit to be
the ruler Of free people.
Now, every one of these several
Declarations appear as if written for
our own day and time. They are
painfully applicable to the condition
Of the South, 10 the action of Con-
gress, and to the eternal principles Of
truth. The more VIC think of what
Congress has done the more we feel
amazed that so many of our people
silently look on, while the prccepts
and example of our fathers are thus
lrampled in the dust.

Anti Federal, and later, when the
parties were known as Federalisss

SAScTIMoSIous.-Tho negroes in

Jim Brown, his accomplice, for embez-

The Mono ExpERIMENr-The
British Parliament gave qualified nc.
gro suffrage TO the negroes of Jamai-
ca, ms long ago as lS3I,-and then re.
moved the qualification, by decreasing
the tax TO very small amount, SO
that any working negro could vote.
The experiment has worked so bad
ly, as to elicit the following remarks
from the Tribune;
at is somewhat remarkable coincidence that
just at tho time when the right Of suffrage has bocn
conferred upon the freedmen Of the South, the ne.
grocs Of the most important Of the British West
India possessions SHOULD HAVE BEEN suNnARiLi
DEPRIVED OF THAT RIGHT"

been handed over by the British gov

ence, at their late session, adopted a
resolution endorsing the Rump Con-
gress and negro suffrage. If our

they will make the political circle in
about two years more, when Metho-
dist County, State and National Con-
ventions may be expected, and none
but brethren placed on the ticket
We fear the leaders Of this denomina-
tion are placing the food SO high in
the rack that tho lambs Of the flock
cannot reach it, and must therefore
become so spiritually depleted that
they must starvc, or be gobbled up by
the wolves. What short sighted men
the Wesleys, Fletchers, Clarks, and
their conductors must have been. The
improvements made on their religion
within the past five years is wonder
ful. The children scarcely recognize
their mother. The wisdom Of Simp-
son & Co is gigantic, and almost in
comprehensive, so far as true religion
is concerned. For q body of men
styling themselves christians to en-
dorse Il set of men who have made n
harem out of the departments of the
government, is rather strong dose.
More than five hundred concubines
are kept and supported by the Rump
and their adherents, and yet they are
complimented by Conference. The
"whore Of Babylon" is certainly losing
ground.

a Good .FOkC,

Our readers no doubt remember tho
charges made by leading loyalists in
January last, against Simon Cameron,
20 the effect that he had secured his
election TO the U. S. Senate through
bribery and corruption. This is no
doubt true, little as Forney & Co. are
inclined to tell the truth. A Legisla-
tive committee was appointed to hunt
up the bribod and the briber, but none
were found. Strategy being in the
direct line Of the Winnebago Chief, he
80 arranged matters that even no
smell Of bribery existed on Capitol
Hill. Hence the wise and sage con-
clusion Of the committee. The price
for each loyal member was fixed at
from $4,000 for q General Senator
down TO 500 for the lowest, but no
money was to be paid until after the
expected committee should report, or
after the adjournment OF the Lcgisla-
ture, so as to defeat all Investigations.
Those members seeking a reelection
were offered the highest price-a point
well taken-and everything moved as
merry as marriage feast until after
the adjournment, when the buzzards
flocked to the Lochiel for their prey.
Simon having seat securely in the
Senate at Washington, and holding
the negotiable paper too, compelled
the old members TO discount theirs
fifty per cent, (Middletown rates }
and the new ones seventy-fvc, with
tho promise of going fifty better on
their return next winter.
This may beproperly termed 'eheat-
ing all around the board, yet "grand
moral" committee had the impudence
to report that "nothing was going
wrong" and that "nobody was hurt, &"
as the slate lamentcd" said few days
before he doffed scotch cap and a
military cloak. Loyalty to-day, as in
the revolution, feasts on corruption
and robs the people of their treasure
and their liberties.
