mand for rye from Germany is probable.
Late mail advices from Berlin speak OF the sale
there of half a million bushels OF American
rye, to be delivered at Hamburg. Thus an
active and, except in single staple pros
porous trade in grain seems to have com
menced with the Western people.
The New Radical Programme.
From the NJ T. World,
AS the lowest things in nature have their
use, there is a certain propriety in Forney. He
is the chameleon of radicalism, and reflects its
shifting tints. Once this chameleon was of
hel-fre hue, and breathed forth threatenings
and slaughter. This was when the radical
party carried the high hand, and was just
about to hang, impeach, and oonfscate. Now
our chameleon alloys his viperous sheen with
the dove-like tinge of peace. Under date of
the 23d inst he is not, in the style of the
chaste Artemas, as thus as he was. He has
been Captain Macheath heretofore, but now
condescends to a slight infusion of Jeremy
Diddler. In one word, the radical party, as
foreshadowed by Forney, is about to temper
its violence towards the South with a cajoling
rascality equally as base. The late elections
have changed front to rear, and the promise is
now to be put in advance with the threat in
reserve.
Listen to the dulcet Occasional who
falsifes his name by nevere ending quack-
as he sings the syren song of Southern recon-
struction:-
"They," of the South, "should be consoled
for the deserved loss of a large part of the
power which they SO long abused when they
discover that their acquiescence will be gene
rously met by the Republicans in the Congress
will honestly abandon their assaults upon re
construction, they will find their truest friends
among the radicals in Congress. y y A
frank and honest acquiescence, confirmed by
kind treatment of the white and black Union
men of the South, will secure not only the
substantial prosperity of the South, but will
invite the utmost magnanimity towards the
individuals who have proved themselves
worthy of the confidence and forgiveness of
their country" CA famous bid this to weak
ness and faint hearts.)
"Not the most abused of the radicals-not
Charles Sumner nor Thaddeus Stevens, nor
Benjamin +. Wade, would hesitate a moment,
when this example, Chat of some Southern
trimmers) sis universally followed, in leading
in such a legislation as would encourage all
those enterprises so necessary to the develop
ment of the recent insurrectionary States and
so constantly prayed for by all classes of the
Southern people"
"Let them'-the above Charles, Thaddeus,
and Benamin-"be convinced that reconstruc-
tion is to have fair play in the South, and that
no more efforts will be made to persecute her
| loyal millions, and no demand that can be
made for the benefit of the South will be re-
| fused. Their rivers would be made navigable,
| their waste places redeemed, and their furthest
| extremities brought into daily relation with
| the great cities of the North by generous con-
| tributions from the national treasury"
Now, all this may be very cheerful, but it is
not all. Vague promise is not equal to note
| of hand, and SO radicalism, per Forney, essays
| to buy the South into reconstruction by some
| specific concession. In order to do so, it takes
up and adopts the following doctrine, as found
in time-serving Southern sheets
OUR PLATFORM.
"Let our laws and our institutions speak not
of white men, not of red men, not OF black men
| not Of men OF any complexion; but like the
| laws of God-the Ten Commandments aud the
| Horace Mann.
"Three Solid Planks for the Republican Platform
Rebuilding Of the Levees by National Aid.
| abolition of the Cotton Tax
sugar Interests Of the State to be Protected
and Fostered."
1t is difficult to read all this without smile
| If there has been anything upon which radi
calism has principally insisted, it is, first, tina
white men in the South had no rights blacl
men were bound to respect second, that there
was to be no Federal levee aid; and, thirdly
that the cotton tax was most just and neces
saTy imposition, against which none but thu
"disloyal' would complain.
Truly, there is quaking of dry bones in thu
| radical camp. Forney, chameleon FOrney, il
as pleasant to us now as the buds in June. HI
represents the knee-quakings and the sweat
and the tremblings of his party-a party tina
once dared to threaten the masses of the
| North, and is now reduced to an attempted
cajolery of the conquered South.

We fear that the country has not received
with sufficient gravity Mr.. Forney's alarming
news that jeff. Davis, Toombs, Breckenridge
and Thompson are busily engaged in plotting
another Southern rebellion.

ago sounded the alarm in reference to the

militia; and in cooperating with him to en-
