mediums are forbidden to practice, be-
cause they call in the aid of spirits. Op-
ticians are watched, because it is said
people get ettheir glases there. The Lon

sauce off their bills of fare. All book
stores selling histories containing an

be buried on a bier! Vessels are not
allowed to come into the harbor, be-
cause they have to pass bar in doing
so; and sea captains are not allowed to

"sEEDs OF DISSOLUTION"

There can be no doubt as to the rapid
decay of the Radical party. The very
fact that its leaders rely wholly and
solely upon the Negro vote to keep
them in power, shows that they believe
their hold upon the people to be loos-
ening. Senator Wilson and Judge
Kelley would not perambulate the
South, appealing to the blacks for as
sistance, did they not see the hand
writing on the wall. Wendell Phillips
thus acknowledges his conviction that
the party is doomed to disruption:
"The seeds of dissolution have been
sown in the Republican party. Per-
haps l should say that the party always
contained the elements of its own de-
struction, and that it only required the
prOvocatiOn of circumstances tOdevelOp
them. At any rate, the development
is visible to the common eye, as it has
long been seen by those whose habits
of close observation have given to their
mental vision a clear sight"
The New York Spirit Of the Times,
always intensely Radical, edited by
George Wilkes, an acute and thorough
bred politician, adds its testimony on
this subject:
''The Republican majority in Con-
gress, needless of the lessons of history,
and needless of the memorable laws OF
revolution has taken its course and
must abide the inevitable penalties OF
error. Those erratic philosophers with
in its ranks who are al. eady signing
that its majority is too large, need
sigh no more. The President will be
speedily reinforced, not only by the re.
constructed South, but by sufficient
defections from the Republican party
to put an end to the two-thirds votes
which have heretofore embarrassed
him."
These out-givings of leading Radi'
Gals are as encouraging to Democrats a.
they are disheartening to the enemy
When party feels itself defeated be-
fore it enters the contest, it will not
make very stubborn stand on the day
of battle. Nevertheless, let us not be
over-confident, but work just as hard
for Democracy as if the enemy dared
us to the conflict, with all his coIors

Underwood, the would-be Jeffreys of
Virginia, has permitted writ of hab-
cas- corpus to issue for the production
of Jefferson Davis in his court at Rich
mond. Mr.. Davis, it is said, will be
released from military custody, and re-
arrested under civil process on an in
dictment for Treason. He was, at last
accounts, lodged at the Spottswood
Hotel. Horace Greely and Augustus
ScheIl, of New York, and Gen. jack
man, of Philadelphia, are at Rich
mond, to offer themselves as bail for
Davis, should Underwood be prevailed
upon to release him. 1t is sail that
Underwood insists upon refusing bail,
and that he has determined to confne
the prisoner in Libby, as he thinks by
so doing to raise a sensation, and at the
same time pander to the resentment of
the Northern people. There seems to be
no present prospect of Mr.. Davis trial.
P.S. Since the above was putt type,
we have learned that Mr.. Davis has
been released on bail, the amount be-
ing 100000, Horace Greedy, Augustus
Schell, General Jackman and A. Welch
becoming his securities. 1t is said that
Underwood was finally induced to take
bail by the importunings of Mr.. Greedy
and Mr.. Evarts, one of the council for
the Government.

KENTUCK N!

The Democrats of old Kentucky
have covered themselves with glory
Every Congressional district in the
State elects the regular Democratic
nominee, thus securing nine Democrat
ic members, instead of five as at the
last election. The Democratic majority
on the popular vote in the State, is up
wards of 81, 900! So much for the mil
itary despotism to force Negro Suffrage
upon the South, erected by the late
Radical Congress. Connecticut, Della
ware, Maryland and Kentucky have
already repudiated it. Pennsylvania
will do the same in October next.

/ Six wears cf DisuniOn! 1t seems but
yesterday that every State was repre-
sented in Congress and every star was
in its place upon the flag. Yetsix years
have passed away since fifty seats were
made vacant in the National House of
Representatives, and ten stars were
torn from our flag by the rude hand of
war. Those seats remain vacant, those
stars have not been restored to the con-
stallation upon our banner. Beaten in
war, their once fair country ruined and
desOIate, and now reduced to the eX-
tremity of want, the Southern people
errnestly desire to redeem the past by
adhering in good faith to the Constitu-
ton and the Union. Two years ago
they threw down their arms and aban-
doned their cause forever. Two years
ago they sued for pardon and re-admit-
tance to fellowship in the Republic.
During these two years great struggle
has been in progress, not between the
people of the South and the Federal
Government, but between those who
favor Restoration and those who op-
pose it, between the friends Of the I'm
ion and those who strive to prOlOng
DisuniOn. Thus far small majority
of the Northern people have succeeded
in controlling Congress in the interests
of prolonged Disunion. The Radical
majority in that body have succeeded
in keeping Udcdnt the fifty seats upon the
floor Uhich they occupy. They hare
kept the Union disSolUed during the past
tlco gears, and it is their purpose, of
course, to prevent its restoration as long
as possible. The rehabilitation of the
Southern States in their rights under
the Constitution, means death to the
Radical organization, and well do those
who control it, know it. Thaddeus
Stevens says, in recent public letter,
that organization under the Military
Reconstruction Act, will not entitle the
Southern people to representation in
Congress. He says confiscation must
be added to the provisions of this bill.
But the people are beginning to revolt
at the inhumanity and treachery Of the
Radical leaders. Every election held
since the passage of the Reconstruction
Act, bears testimony to the truth of
this statement. The masses want Res
toratiOn and will not brook continued
DisuniOn. Verify, the end draweth
nigh, when Radicalism, the fend that
soweth destruction throughout the
land, shall be buried beyond the reach
of resurrection. Let us work patient
ly, but earnestly, to bring about this
result, and the God of Justice and of
Peace will bless our efforts.

VII SONS TOUR.-SenatOr Wilson's
Southern tour seems to be a case of great
cry and little wool. The flock sur
rounds him but there is little shearing
done, and he is likely to come back
empty-handed. The blacks listen to
him, but wonder what all the bother
is abOut.-The whites let him alone,
and have not paid him the compliment
of getting angry at anything he has
said. He has rated them to his hearts
content, and they hear him with civili-
ty, if not with respect, and then Mr..
Wilson packs up his stock fplatitudes
and diatribes and takes himself of
unnoticed to the next town. 1t seems
rather dull sort of work. 1t is not, we
may be sure, exactly what the Senator
bargained for. If there had been dis
turbance anywhere what a theme it
would have supplied him with-what
a martyr he would have returned! AS
it is. he comes back in the position of
one who thought to move the universe,
and finds that he has Otmade SO much
stir as CAD fly in summer. The South
ern people soon found out that it was
not an earthquake OR a Whirlwind
which had come among them, but only
a reed shaken by the wind. And we
say that this is very discOuraging for
poor Mr.. Wilson, and we hope he will
bear up bravely under his adversities.-

THE RADICAL AGITATION.

The agitators of the Radical faction
belonging to Congress, are employing
the greatest energy in preaching sedi-
ton and hate among the negroes of the
South during the vacation. Day after
day, the announcement is made that
some member of the deliriOus faction
has started South to spread the new
evangelism of the party. Wilson, Kel-
ly, Nye, and many more are aAreddy
there, and before week, q SeditiOuS dg-
aatOr aCW be distributed IN ereTy district
aCbere the military are employed to Orer-
are the people, or t. organize meetings
ofnegroes. These champions consti-
tute new order of knighthOod, not
like the paladins and chevaliers of old
who piled up and down the world for
gallant adventure, but one that seeks to
minister to the base passions of the ig-
norant
No danger besets these heroes such
as those that were encountered Ey an
cient knights errant; they march to
the Southern fields after the war has
ended not a man of them was ever in
the front; they smelt the battle afar
off. They safely make their harangues
now beneath the shadow of Federal
bayonets. They are not even in danger
of reproof or reply, for whoever should
attempt one is denounced as an enemy
! to the Government, and an unappeasa-
bic rebel, or is marched off by file of
Federal gems d' Gn1es. No matter how
vaunting and arrogant the speech, how
selitiOus the appeal, or how unnanly
the insult to fallen enemy, these
itinerant demagogues are safe. Before
starting on their gallant enterprise
! against oOCACly anu OIuCI III lle COuID,
they took care to gag by military law
every man who might presume to op-
pose them; so they can rant and brava-
do, babble to the negro in both ears, cut
the capers of the knightly Falstaff- no
danger of opposition threatens them,
for they have made opposition dumb
| by gag law. All that one of these
| delirious ranters has to fear is that some
other champion, following in his wake,
may surpass him in braggadocio or
rage, or may cast him in the shade by
brighter promises to his negro auditors.
This, then, is the great millennium of
Radicalism-political demonstrations,
and debates without opponents
preaching anarchy and sedition to the
ignorant, surrounded by bayonets hired
by the Republic to enslave the people.

BLACK RIOT.

Senator Wilson, Judge Kelly and
other Radical spouters, are travelling
in the South, making infiammatory
speeches to the lazy and thriftless ne
groes congregated in the large cities.
The first fruits of their labOrs are al
ready visible in the lawless demonstra-
tiOns of their black disciples. Several
negro riots have recently occurred in
Richmond and Charleston, and others
were prevented only by the timely in
reference of the authorities. One of
the Radical stump-orators Hayward,
of Boston, was arrested in Richmond,
the other day, for using language cal
culated to stir up Negro mobs. Such
is the work of Radicalism.
