The day is near at hand when no
white man will dare own in the South
that he ever belonged to the Radical
party. If man would 60 into genteel

Having in our youth taken the Wing side
in politics, friend remarked, he was
glad TO find we had chosen what he "con-
saered the most honest and respectable
side" Whether our friend was right is
now a matter of no consequence. But we,
at least, have the satisfaction Of know
ing that we did take a side, which was
both honest and respectable. But
how is II with men who now go with the
Radical side ? Dare any man call It the

H@-The Cork Examiner, Of July 18th,
says that every indication points to the
certainty Of war between France and
Prussia. A council Of war is, at the
present moment, being held in Russia
between the stats Of the armies of Russia
and Prussia, and under the Presidency
of the Czar. Plans of campaigns sug-
gested by the probable coalition between
France and other States are under con
sideraiion. 1t is further asserted that
Prussia is eager to begin the war imme.
diately, and before France has got into
position. Russia, however, inclines to a
postponement, which though, does not
make the strife less inevitable

f6S~ The Radical Lowell Courier
nnblishes letter from John G. M. Par
ker. of New Orleans, Ito whom the late
letter of Gen. Lopgstreet was addressed,)
in which the following paragraph occurs.
1t nlludes to articles in the Southern
newspapers in which the weakness OF
Gen. L. s views has been shown up
From what know of Gen. Longstree ct
/ feel warranted in saying he looks on
these deluded scribblers with pity, and
will continue to lend them his aid and
pray for their deliverance, and General
Longstreet will have the sympathy OF
every lcyal man, North and South, and
the qualification of knowing that millions
of warm hearts thank him for the Chris
tian course he has taken to restore the
people of the South with whom he
fought against the government OF the
United States) to their former status. l
believe he has acted most wisely, and
know he will continue in the good work,
in spite of all the batteries the mistaken
men at the South can hurl against him.
Thousands Of others will follow before
the election days in Southern States Is
over and the light which Gen. Long.
street has fred will shine brighter and
brighter day by day, till the princip pies
contained in his letter Of the 80 OF June
last, shall have been established through
out the length and breadth of the nation.
We do not believe there is word Of
truth in the above extract, or that the
author is warranted in saying any such
thing. We believe that General Long
street has long since been shamed out OF
his absurd position, and now bitterly re-
grets having taken it as grave blunder
If he docs not, he must be given up as
incorrigibly stupid. His utterance was
that the war settled questions of politics,
State rights, principles when every man
of sense knows that the sword settles
nothing but the question who is the
strongest, that might does not make right,
and that truth is omnipotent even
against the powers Of war. We doubt
not General Longstreet to-day laments
that letter as an unfortunate indiscretion.
We will at least do him the justice to
think so until the contrary appears.

would never have been in such hot haste
to give Gen. L. occasion to exclaim,

reJ~ We are rather disposed to be
lachrymose this morning. Our paper,
everybody knows, is printed at actually
less than cost, for the Insignificant sum
of ten cents per week, Of which the car
riers get six and the publishers four, and,
because the paper is furnished at such a
low price, perhaps, the carriers have
been delivering it, in some instances, to
negroes, here and there throughout the
city-nobody is too poor to pay ten
cents once a week-and we thought we
might brag of having some Conservative
gentlemen of the colored persuasion on
our list. But, alas they have dropped
the paper, and we have lost one mil

we never had-and now we " don't keer

forbids any officer of the United States

matter it is just now, that some of ouI

B6S~ While the mass Of the blacks af-
