On We CO-Tbe Dictator Conn
Ing.

The Radical press still teens with
evidences Of the intention o that party,
so oon as it has the power, to choose a
Dictator.
We copy tho following from the
New York Times of the 18th:
1.-THE purpose Of Congress WRdenia6iy
wds to render the district commander
practically supreme in his sphere. Only
the provision Of the Constitution respect.
ing the President as Commander. in.
Chief prevented the passage Of the lar
in n shape that would have spesiical-
~ deprived him as well Of the power
Of appointing as of the power OF con-
trolling the Generals in command.
The editor oftle Times is n Radical
leader. The Constitution only proven
ted the Inauguration of this grand
scheme fully, by the last Congress.
We again sound the alarm and call tlA,
people to the rescue. The Radicals
are pushing their scheme with q zeal
worthy Of better cause. The Exec.
utive interpt sition Of constitutional
impediments Is all that is between US
and SUPREME military rule, and if tho
people do not fly TO the rescue this will
disappear like a single man from no
fore an assaulting host.-StdteSmdn

tFr IN the Baltimore SUM-
A CongressIonaI session.

In a letter to the Washington Chron-
icle, Mr.. Thaddcus Stevens recon-
mends the holding of July session of
Congress. He says that "the opinions
of the Attorney General seems to
require somc explanatory or supple
mental acts" This refers TO the first
opinion given by Mr.. Stanbery upon
registration. He charges the Attor-
ney General, with usurpation in acting
at all in the question, and says he had
no more right to interfere than the
President to reconstruct. His opinion
il as good as that Of any other lawyer;
il is the attempt to treat IL as official
that Mr.. Stevens objects TO. The
Washington Chronicle of the 14th also
makes the same opinion the ground
work for an appeal TO Congress to
meet in July, and charges the Presi-
dent with m~editating a practical multi
f~cation of the military reconstruction
laws.
The country will regret to see this
unnecessary renewal Of political agita-
tion. A general calm had succeeded
the last session Of Congress, and tho
South has been quietly adapting itself
to the situation. Even the Radical
leaders who have visited the South
speak favorably OF the temper Of tho
people. The South has done nothing
to impede the operation of the recon
struction law but on the contrary, has
shown a general disposition to conform
to ITS requirements. Just as things
have begun to o smoothly, and an
era Of rcpose and good feeling seemed
at hand, 1T was proposed that the 10th
Congress shall reassemble and set the
caIdron of strife boiling again. Whilst
tho hearts Of the people are beginning
TO rejoice in the prospects Of bountItul
crops, and the creative energies oil
nature arc put forth TO efface the
traces of war and contribute to the
happiness and prosperity ofthe nation
the destructive passions of party arc
invoked to mar this cheering prospect
and impose new burthcns and cxactior
upon a country which is just recuper-
atIng from civil strife and %exhaustinl
taxation. The immense expenditure
IN the five military districts of the
South. the heavy cost Of tho Freed.
mems Bureau. the prospective expcndi
ture Of the Indian wars, will make ,
sufficient drain upon the resources o
the people. A more economical ad
minIstration Of public AFFAIRS Is needed
The national debt ought to be dimin
ished instead of increased. II Congress
will permit political questions to b,
settled, the promising harvest ofbread
stuffs, and the cotton Of 1867, expected
by good judges 10 be three millions o
bales, will do for reconstruction and
return of old business and social rela
tons what a July session cannot effect

resting upon the whole people, wo are
aware of the danger that lies in the
combined power of such an enormous
capital. There Is no doubt that tho
founder of the national banks, Chief
Justice Chase, rightly understood
the influence ofthe system, and ex-
pected to be carried by it to the
Presidency. Indeed, such a power
could in ordinary times make oil un-
make n President. We had some cx-
p~erience of u vast and dangerous
moneyed power in the old United
States Bank; but that was insignificant
compared to the power Of tho national
banks. In every point of view, there.
fore. commercially, financially and
politically, to ave the country from
bankruptcy, tho government from
embarrassment, the people from OPP
preston by u gigantic monopoly, and
our institutions from danger, Congress
should, without delay, repeal the Ma.
tional Bank act.

Another Threat.

Greeley in the Tribune Of the 18th
ult., IL speaking Of President Johnson
compelling tho military commanders
to keep within their legal pow rs, uses
the following language:
ave believe he means if ha dares to
strike q blow at the Reconstruction
policy Of Congress, and bring up fl ON
the pit Of sin and iniquity the shame.
less policy by which he sought to
deprive n race OF lta dearly earned
rights. We must show him that
he dare not.
This is another threat directed at
the President. Let the President do
his duty and the people in defense Of
their rights and liberties will Show
him he dare. Freeman are not to bo
bullied and Radicals will learn this to
their sorrow should they ever violent
ly assaIl the executive or those acting
under him.-Sfdtesmdn.

nSy- Don Piatt. Of the Mack. "a. Cheek

Bar Don Piatt, of tho Mack-a-Cheek
Press, one ofthe most bitter Of the
Radical party, came out recently in an
article showing up the thievings Ct
that party since they have had control
of the Government. Don Pratt fore
sees q most disastrous defeat and n
general disruption of the party which
he loves 80 we'll, if measures are not at
once instituted winch will expose and
bring to morite6 punishment these
swinddlcrs and robbers Of people who
have held and been placed in position
by the Radicals during the last SIX or
seven years. His desire for the perpct
uation Of Radi calism forced him to
an acknowledgement and exposition OF
the official frauds which has helped to
hemp up and make more burdensome
tho taxation o fthe country. He de.
clares that aver since tho inauguration
of President Lincoln call the thieves
have been in Office He says if Rad.
icalism does not purge itself of the
dishonest knaves whom it upholds
that the swift and certain revolution
in the public mind, caused by the ex-
position that must come, will sweep
every vestage of the party from the
land. The Radical editors-that por-
ton whom Greeley says God for some
inscrutablo purpose allows to edit q
majority Of tho Republican papOrs"-
denounce DON Pratt for his exposure.

tenn.

The Cincinnati Commercial thus tore
IDLY sets forth the bottom. of the doc
trines oftho tarifites:
"The protectionists arc gotting
things n good deal mixed. Ifit were
fairly admitted that tho protection
given by a tariff in American industry,
is simply the taxation ofthe consumers
OF manufactured arti lie for the benefit
Of the manufacturers, there would be
nothing to do but to make such an
arrangement satisfactory to the con-
sumers, But tho pretectiorists pre-
tend that they are going to benefit all
classes. and every body, therefore,
wants alittle protection, while IL to be

protection, and were succeeded by the
fwooi-growers; and now they are doub-
led and twisted and tied in II knot
The manufactures of wooden goods,
demanding that the people shall pay
him twice the value Of the goods In
order to protect him, desires of course
to get his raw material cheap, but ID
met by the wool-growers demand for
protection Of wool. And the manu-
facturers generally want cheap labor
and at the same time be protected
from competition with the pauper labor
of Europe. This is being answered by
the working men, who wantprotectioT
against the importation OF foreign
labor-that is emigration. Some o
the Pennsylvania tarifites who how

Cheering ProspecTs.

A letter from Guernsey county, un-
der date of Thursday, says:
"You may expect good result in
eastern Ohio. Our end of the State
will give an excellent account against
the Negro Suffrage party in Ohio.
The good work goes bravely on"
The same cheering prospects are to
be found in all parts of Chic. The

TIE BONDS.

The financial condition oftho. count.
ry, compared with the burdensome
system of our class taxation, has been
engaging the attention of the leading
press Of the country. The issuing of
bonds, on which a large interest is
paid and which bear none Of the bur-
dens OF Government taxation, by the
Federal Government, instead Of n con-
~tnuance of the legal tender issues
has become to be generally understood
IN its unjust and pernlcious effects
That the bonds create an aristocracy
which will be as ~exacting and arrogant
as any ~aristocracy Of the European
Governments is admitted by all That
the laboring classes-which have al
ways been held to be the "bone and
sinew" ofthe country--wi!l be oppress-
ed and held in servility by them-the
Bond-holders--is undoubted That
the cont ract Of the United States to let
these bonds run their appointed time
is not binding, is demo nstrated by the
decisions Of the United States Courts
upon the Legal tender act" which
annuls the contract to pay in gold a
debt between private individuals. For
a poor manor any nan who holds nc
bonds-to support a party which is in
the hands Of the bond holders and il
their tool and instrument, is to US the
most uncomfortable OF proposltio"s? The
nan who does so votes to enslave
himself. For a lover of the boasted
freedom Of America--no matter if he
hold bonds Ito support a party that
upholds class taxation is to US absurd
in the extremel Those who desire to
perpotuate freedom in America,to have
the taxes fall alike upon individuals
those who desire 10 rank themselves
with freeman, Will desert the sinking
ship OF fanatical, arIstocratic, and
plundSring Radicalism.

rS- On the frstpago Of this papc

Ha- On the frstpage Of this paper
we publish an article, coming from an
Ex-Fodcral officer, which shows up
the character Of Gen. Sheridan as an
Executive officer. The imposition on
tho Southern people Of Military men
as rulers is shown by this article to be
one of the most despotic which the
imagination Of such fanatics as old
Thad. Stevens could conceive of.
While Sheridan has gained honor,
fame, and the reverence OF the people
as n military officer in the field, his ca
reer in his military district darkens all
the brightness which his valIent re-
cord during the war reAoots.
