ANOTHER STORY.

ANOTHER STORY.
J; Se Tell smother story, Sir! fqs ths reast is
very smail to-day" We all remember the
story of the servant of ScARRoS, the celebrated
wit and first husband Of Madame de MAINrE-
NON. When his masters hospitality had over
leaped his prudence, and II was necessary to
mstsbis guests forget tsArSdeAifes for food
TIE Radicafparty of Ihs United States have
evidently studied this lesson carefully. 1t
knows that the people are in want of more
food. They have. been made to swallow sambo
in every shape and farm, done up in every
style, and cooked in every way. They first
had him served up as 'sthe intelligent contra
band lust arrived from Richmond" who would
not lie for anything on earth. Next he ap-
peared dressedp in thes Emancipation Pro
clamation. Then hs appeared in blue and
brass, and was decked out as the loyalist Of
the South, and now he is the sole ingredient in
their dish of liberty and manhood suffrage"
They feel, however, that the people are sick OF

Gone more story" whispers the skilful SER
want, and forthwith the story is manufactured.
Mr.. Senator THAYER informs the people that
President JoHNsps is about tosresisb Congress-
with arms, and Ne haze no doubt that he will
find personss@ 'Seiie9s his statement. That
will not do, Mr. TaATER. The Boston Post
indicates, sir, that you declared, before you
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
the Ephesians, Mr.. THAYER. Great is the
Radical party in whose hands are the custom
houses, revenue Offices, post Offices, navy yards,
and even the whiskey. 1t would never do to
give them up You have control to-day, and it
would be hard if you should chance to be left
in the cold tomorrow. We know that you
would be sorry, but do you think that the
Southern people wouldsbea We!think not
Seriously speaking, I'VE are sick and tired of
hearing constant babble about "manhood suf-
frage" We know that if it means anything at
all, except ruin to and vengeance on the South,
it means conflict sooner or later of races
The Northern people are beginning to see this,
and the Radical leaders begin to feel that
power is stealing from their grasp. One revo-
luton gave them strong foot-hold, their waste
full extravaganza which may yet bring day of
vengeance on shoddy" contractors coupled
with newspaper geueralship such as that e1hi-
bitod by the Tribune in 1862, by prolonging the
war, enabled them to strengthen their posi-
ton The assassination of Mr.. LINCOLN whom
they abused when alive, but canonised when
dead, gave them the entire control Of the gov
ernment. They thought their power unlimited,
and with the magnanimity of those who never
have gunpowder except at II Fourth Of July
parade, they determined to push the South
to the wall. Terms were offered which we
could not accept without forfeiting our own
They were rejected as all honest
men knew that they would be, and RecOnstruc-
llOn bClo, UbJOuCto bAu huuhVVu cuhioSO
were substituted in the place of the Constitn-
tional Amendment At this point, they were met
by the statement, what's justice to the black man
in the South, is also Justice to him in the
tion at the South, would have been political
destruction. ; Not to have advanced to the
same position at the North, would have been
political qualification and annihilation. They
sprung forward-Connecticut did not like the
thought of mixing white and black blood at
home 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
to be defeated in the great States of Pennsyl
vania, New York and Ohio, cannot be stated
with certainty. The Radicals do not them
selves disguise that they are weaker than they
were. SIMEON CAMERON, one of the shrewdest
of American politicians, declares that Phila-
delphia is lost to the party. The New York
Tribune admits that elections may be lost on the
question Of negro suffrage.
If the ship is not sinking, there are at least
many leaks to be stopped. The North has
been fooled long enough with Samto. 1t is
to ask itself if the result of the war
will not be, under Radical rule, not dissolution
of the Union, but total destruction Of the
government 1t is beginning to inquire if the
blood which has been split on both sides will |
not have been shed in favor of despotism, un
less the people check Radical progress in the
direction of encroachments on Constitutional
liberty. All political managers in the Radical
party know, that with eyes open thirty-two
millions of white men will not voluntarily
abandon their liberty for the sake of giving
license to four millions of blacks. They know
that unless new exciting causes can be found,
the people will no longer be cheated. A new
sensation must be produced, and the negro |
idea must be carried out by other means than
by exhibiting him always to the public. Trea-
sonablc intentions on the part of the President |
must be found and the statement is boldly |
made that he intends to subvert the govern
ment. We may be mistaken, but we do not |
think that the people will be deceived. They |
know that the real revolutionists are those who |
are using every means to subvert the Constitu-
ton, by making the Legislative branch of the
the only power in the land. They |
know that tyranny is exercised, not by the
President but by Congress. They know
hat they have been deluded long enough.
rhey will refuse to be satisfied by another
sensation story, and they will seek their rights,
md in maintaining them, will preserve Consti-
utional liberty to the American people.
