Times Changes.

The double dealings of the radicals is
theme On which much more might be writ
ten and said than we have time and space
for, however We give the following, from
the Madison Union, showing few only of
the many inconsistencies of which the radical
or abolition party is guilty:
THO gears ago, the Republican party of
Wisconsin refused to place negro suffrage
IN the State as plank in their platform,
and voted the proposition down in conven-
ton when formally presented.
Two years ago they imported Judge Doc
little from Washington to Madison, to
make platform excluding negro suffrage.
Two years ago Gov. Fairchild and his
associates refused to publicly avow whether
he was or was not in favor Of negro suff-
rage in Wisconsin.
Two years ago, the Republican party in
Wisconsin voted down negro suffrage by
majority Of 1900 at the polls.
Within three months, they read Judge
Doolittle out of the party for having made
their platform, and standing on it.
Within three months, Gov. Fairchild
and the State officers discovered that they
were for negro suffrage.
Within one gear, every man who voted
against negro suffrage, according to the
platform, was read out Of the party for
so doing.
Nol0, every person opposed to putting
the white men Of the South under the rule
of ignorant and brutaized negroes, not one
IN ten thousand of whom can read or write,
is denounced as traitor
NOU, every man opposed to turning over
ten American States to a few miserable spies
and sncaks among the whites, and to negro
legislators, judges and congressmen-and
to the disfranchisement and enslavng Of
millions of white men, by the exercise Of
military law in time of peace, is denounced
as a traitor.
N0,0, every man that asks that the states
recognized by Abraham Lincoln on his
own plan, formally adopted by the last Ma
ti0nal Union Convention, and in pursuance
OF acts of Congress to that end and that
the rights of men under the Constitution
OF the United States, shall be respected. is
denounced as haitOr.
NOtC, every man who insists that the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, that the Constitution is
rule everywhere binding, both in peace and
war-upon rulers and ruled who insists
that mere fragment Of the population of
rule enormous majorities of white men
and that a government of arms is not
government of laws in time of peace, in
republc-is Kissed at as a traitor.
Noao, every man who holds that the war
was not failure that American States
cannot die-that the suppression Of rebel
lion was not conquest of our own country
but an operation of the supremacy of law,
vlndlcatcd by success-and that the rule
of reason and humanity is the rule of right
is denounced as a tnitor
No,c, it is the custom to applaud the gross
est invasions of the Constitutional hiss at
every man who appeals to the great Char
ter of Human Liberty-to decry all who
are opposed to Africanizing free American
Republics-to denounce all who stand by
the old land marks of freedom-and to
glorify in the highest the great principle"
Of negro equality, negro suffrage, and ne
gro majoritics in ten of the States of the
Republic, while millions of white men are
DISTINGUISHED.
We are curious to see what the next Re
publican Platform will be, and to compare
1t with the las: one. Verify, in the light
Of eighteen months experience, who can
guess what day may bring forth?
