contamination ofradical treason. The great
oath Of the President, to protect and defend
the constitution, viii not be forgotten; and
the people who sustain him, with their 500,-
600 majority of the voting population, north
and south will not forget him.
The radicals have already brought the
government to the very verge of another rev
olution. II the radical majority in congress
pursues It's reasonable course much longer
| the government, In order to sustain itself
will have to arm its supporters. At the call
of the President, all of his friends, north and
south, and the army and navy, will respond.
In such contest the issue cannot be doubt
ful. Congressmen may be valiant fighters
on the floor of congress, but when they
come to lead their cohorts into the field it
will be another thing. The real armies and
great soldiers OF the republic will be found
lighting under the flag. We advise the OPP

that Andrew Johson viii serve out bis con
stitutional term of office.
