TWO RRMARKABLE TEXTS FOR A
RADICAL.

From the New \ ork Express.
All history, whether of governments,
people or individuals, strikingly illustrates
the vascillation Of opinions, moral, political
and social but we have rarely met a more
remarkable evidence ofthis revolution than
in the following extracts from the speeches
Of one Of the greatest Radicals in the land
--old Ben Wade, of Ohio now the pre-
siding officer Of the United States Senate.
II would be difficult to find in the records
of Calhoun or Hayne, Lowndees or Cheeves,
or in the school Of more modern tire-eaters,
nullifiers or States-rights men, any one who
preached State supremacy more forcibly
than Senator Wade, who, 1865, said
There are some Senators who profess a
great regard for the rights of the States.
am one Of those who have quite as much
regard for the rights Of the States as some
who make louder professions on the SUBJ
ject than do. / am one of those who not
only, when an election is pending, but at all
times, believe in the wisdom, the constitu-
tionality and propriety of the Virginia
resolutions of l778 and 1899. / ground
myself upon these resolutions, and stand
ing upon them, | denounce this bill
as a violation, not only of the spirit of those
resolutions, but as an attempt to trample
upon the rights Of the States, and to deprive
them Of the power to protect their own
citizens. Who Is TO be the Judge in the
last resort of the violation of the constitu-
ton Of the United States BY the enactment
Of law Whe ia the final arbiter
The general government or the States in
their sovereignty? Verify, sir, to yield
that point is to yield up all the rights of
the States to protect their own citizens, and
TO consolidate the government into mis-
cradle despotism."
At the succeeding session of Congress
the same Senator said in debate:
Southern gentlemen stand here and in
almost all their speeches speak of the dis
solution of the Union. am not of those
who would ask them 10 continue in the
Union. Ii would be doing violence TO the
platform Of the party to which | belong.
We have adopted the old Declaration Of
Independence as the basis of our political
movement, which declares that any people,
when the government ceases to protect their
rights, when il is SO subyerted from the
true purposes Of government as 10 Cypress
them, have a RICH, 10 recur TO fundamental
principles, and if need be, to destroy the
government under which they live, and to
erect on its ruins another more conducive
10 their welfare. hold that they have
this right. | will not blame any people
for exercising it whenever they think the
contingency has come. Iou cannot forci-
bly, hold any men in the Union-for the
attempt 10 do so, it seems TO me, would
subvert the first principles OF the govern
meni under which we live"

THE FREED NEGRO: LABOR IN
ARKANSAS

A Napoleon (Arkans2sl correspondent Of
the New Orleans Crescent writes as follows
in regard to the prospects Of the planters in
that section. He saws;
"The people are not, as 4 general thing,
planting so largely as they did last year,
but, in my opinion, on a much surer basis.
As remarked in my last, after the termina-
ton of the war, the people still desired to
cultivate all their open land, and hence
Since that period have incurred great ex-
pense in procuring labor, farming utensils
and provisions, and which, in most instan-
ces. was never repaid. The labor was pro-
cured here, yonder and everywhere; hence
a great deal of il was worthless, and instead
OF becoming an institution OF profit, it be-
came one OF frightful loss. This circum-
stance. coupled with the stern dictates Of
Necessity and interest, fenced the planters
10 relinquish their deep-grounded preindi-
ces and errOneously-cOnCeiyed pride, and
Weld 10 reason and common sense; and ac-
cordingly they have selected few trusty
and reliable laborers from among the many
worthless, and have given them an interest
in the crop, which will insure success he

stance beyond the control of human
wisdom favor il. My experience
among the freedmen is, that when
YOU hire one and agree to feed and clothe
him, he prefers lying up one half of his
time and especially during the hot summer
DAYS, under pretense of sickness, 10 labor

money Food is the great object in his
existence, and IL he eau in any way get that
without labor. he is generally satiied. This
is not the case with all Of them, but II is
with the majority. In order, therefore, 70
avoid this certain expense and uncertain
labor system, the people have yielded TO
inierest and necessities, and have selected
those they have tried and know will work,
and in order Go double the prospect, have
given them an Interest in the crop. This
will beyond question Of doubt, insure sue

matter, one would readily arrive st the
