EXPENSIVE LUxUR1Es.- -Radicalism and
taxation, cause and effect. says the Mountain
Democrat, are expensive luxuries. They 60
hand in hand; they are inseparable; they are
eating out the substance Of the people aud
making slaves Of the laboring classes. The
taxes n every State are from three to six
times as large under Radical rule as they
formerly were under Democratic rule. Un-
der Democratic rule all were taxed in pro-
portion to their wealth; under Radical rule
the wealth of the rich bond.bolder is exempt
from taxation, and the lsboring classes are
taxed to pay the taxes Of the wealthy! Is
not Radcaism an expensive luxurya

The Great Expounder.

"Ths Constitution was made by the States,
and not by The people united. It should
therefore read, We, the people Of The States
united" 1t was voted for by States convsp.
ton, submitted to the people Of each State
ssvsrally, and became tho Constitution Of
the States adopting it. 1t is Federal Con.
stitutiou, and not National Governmsnt."-
Daniel Webster.
We merely quote the above 10 SLOW what
. consummate fool the Great Expouudsr Of
the law was-from Radical standpoint. II
Webster still lived, be would not only have
to deny bis declaration, but he would be re-
quired to believe aud teach that only twen-
ty.6ve States out of thirty six are necessary
10 vote upon part or the whole OF Fsdsr-
al Constitution, and If nineteen of The TWEEN.
ty'6ve should ratify it, the eleven which are
excluded from a voice in the matter must be
held bound TO ito provisions just the same ~
though they had ratified it.
In addition TO this, be would be required
to teach that amendments to the Federal
Constitution, proposed and passed by frag
ment Of Congress, in the enforced absence
cf the representatives of eleven States aud
compulsoriIy ratified BY those States under
threats Of that frsgmentary body Of being re-
duced to territorial condition and placed
under the domination Of negro voters, are
valid as though ratified voluntarily-notwith-
standing that such amendments would dis
franchise and outlaw ninetentbs Of the peo-
pie Of the States so compelled 10 'ratify.'
Would Daniel Webster believe in or teach
such heresies, such diabolical and tyraunical
tricks Of political scoundrelsl BY no meaus.
Webster was a statesman, not de magogue,
not a tyrant, not a villain. Living now, he
are--on the side Of the Constitution-on on the
side Of the people, and against every form Of
tyranny over the minds Of men. Hence, be
would not be a Radical, but the bitter enemy
Of those dominating at Washington a. .
Congress-
That this would be Webster's position now,
10 evidence by bis famous prophecy, a. fol.
lows:
"If these Internal fanatics and Abolition.
lists ever get the power in their hands, they
will override the Constitutions; set the Su-
prems Court at defiance; change and make
laws to suit themselves; lay violent hands on
those who differ with them in opinion and
dare question their infalibility; and finally
bankrupt the country and deIuge il in
| blood"
That the Radical fanatics have already
fulfilled The 6rst predictions is undeniable;
and that they are fast rushing the country to
bankruptcy and civil war can scarcely be
questioned by those who are watching their
movements Will the people not take heed
to the warning Of this great statesman Of the
Wing partyl-Harrisburg Patriot and
Union.

BEEcHER DENoUNcEs HIS PAR1lsAxs.-
So enormous and outrageous is the corruption
OF radical officials that even Beecber and
Greeley are under the necessity of denoun-
cling il. They assume large amount Of
virtuous indignation, but neglected 10 state
that this great Generalization is the result
Of the perncious teachings ofradca "highsr
lawism." Recently, in sermon, Bsecher
Illuminated the following denunciation Of the
corruption in the National and State Legis-
latures: 1.-THE men Of Washington and AL
bauy sold their country; they sold their hu.
maoity and their honor, and the trusts that
we're put upon them by their constituents.
They were dsbauchers Of tho young; they
were the traitors; they that lifted the sword
were not half so much traitors; they that des-
poiled the old banner and trod it under foot;
they that fred upon the Government Of the
United States were not half 80 much traitors

or. They are 10 favor Of restoration Of the
Union and opposed to negro suffrage, and
are now convinced that The Radicals don't
want the Union restored, and are resolved to

tho people agree to it or not. They thought
The Radicals we're Union men, but their ao-
tion in Congress has dispelIed tho illusion.
They were opposed to secession; Congress,
in declaring the Southern States out Of the
Union, has established the doctrine Of seces.

CHARACTER OF THE NEGRO By AN AFRICAN
ExpLoRER.-M du CbailIu, in bis recent
published work, journey to Asbango Land
and Further Penetration into Equatorial
Africa" makes the following observations
respecting the character of the negro:
'As to bis future capabilities ! think ext
treme views have prevailed among us.
Some hold the opinion that the negro will
never rise higher than he is; others think
that he is capable Of reaching the highest
state of civilization. For my own part, l do
not agree with either Of these opinions. l
believe that the negro may become q more
useful member Of mankind than be is at
present; that be may be raised to higher
standard; but that if left to himself be will
soon fall back into barbarsm, for We have
no example to the contrary. In bis own
country The efforts of the missionaries for
hundreds Of years have had no effect; the
missionary goes away, and the people re.
lapse Into barbarism. Though people
may be taught the arts and sciences known
by more gifted nations, unless they have
the power Of progression in themselves,
they must inevitably relapse in the course
of time into their former state. Of all the
upcivilizsd races Of men, the negro has
been found to be the most tractabs and the
most docile, and be possesses excellent quail
ties that compensate in a great measure for
his bad ones. We ought therefore to bs
kind to him and try to elevate him. That
he will disappear in time from bis land, l
have very little doubt; aud that be will fol-
low 10 the course Of time the inferior races
which have preceded him. So let us write
bis history.

A NATIVE PATRIARCH NEAR THE END OF

is and Clark arrived in these mountains, iu
the second year of Jeffsrson's Presidential
life, Mo-ese was old enough to run buffalo.
Prior to that time, be says, the reports the
Backfeet had heard concerning the pale

perstilious; but, as the "big canoe captain"
camped with them many days, treating them
kindly and giving them many presents, a f.
miliarity sprang up which dispeIIed these vag-

Radical Bauditti and the Old Line Repub
licanS.

The old line Republicans do not appear to
fancy the idea Of having their party ruled
exclusively by the corrupt politicians, who
left the Democratic party when It 'ost con
troll Of The loaves and fishes, for tue loving
embrace and fall breast of Repub''can'sm;:
This corrupt element never rests conteo'eo
in auy party it cannot control. Inc snort
ha;r. ara The shrewdest kind Of dark lantern
worker, aud wire .pnllers. They are strang-
or, 10 conscientious scruplss, and permit no
sense of Justice or decency to lie between
them and the accomplishment of their pur'
poses. They are ever active and v'gl'ant'
and. while the honest and unsuspecting are
sleeping in faucied security, they are skulk
ing about arranging their torpedoes to blow
their opponents sky.high, when the moment
for action arrives. They we're the curse ana
scourgs Of the Democratic party, and now
they are the bauditti Of Radicalism, overflow
ing with savage fsrocit,, and determined to
rule ,hs party or destroy it. Without pr'n-
ciple, honor or shame, this class OF politicians
generally succeed in getting control of the
political parties 10 which they are allied. and
never fail by their corruption to ruin them.
We rejoice at their apostacy from the Dem
ocratc party, and trust they will never re-
turn, though it is absolutely certain that
they will as soon as it is established in pow
sr again. Against the people who we're
honestly mistaken, and who left the party
from pure motives, we have no such feeling
We are pleased to know that many Of them
are returning to their first love- To such We
would extend cordial welcome; but de|iv'
or Us from the wretches who sacrifice honor,
principle, everything for Office, and who
would sell their souls for q mess of Govern
ment potsge.
As We remarked at the ont'set the old line
Republicans are growing very much dissat'
isied under the short hair Lash, and are be.
Rinipg TO kick out Of the traces. 10 this
city they have called up the ghost of the
Peoples party 10 save them from short hair
corrup.ions at the primary elections, and in
Sacramento, they repudiated the short bail
primaries entirely, and called one of their
own. The same bitterness Of feeling exists
oil over the State, and, no doubt, from many
connties, there will be two sets of delegates
at their State Convention. A row and Z
