Iha Err of Tsst 0aths.

The most detestable of the Radical
articles TO retain in their own hands the
powers and the patronage OF the Govern
ment was the device of the oath-the oath
that was prescribed for all who were
about to assume any position of author
ity or trust amy office with emolument
or official perquisito Of any kind. The
cath devised by them embraced conduct
past and future, and so comprehensive
was it that it almost amounted, even in
the North, to the exclusion of ali persons
from Office who were not Republican or
Radical. In the South its effect was
altogether exclusive, so that the entire
population may be said to be excluded
from office
There could be no provision of law, no
measure of State, more abhorrent and
demoralizing. The oath commonly
called "iron.clad" threw suspicion on
all, and questioned the general fealty Of
the people whose loyalty should be as
sumed as undoubted. The laws should
be based upon the public faith-upon the
public devotion 10 the common welfare;
and that country which rests not the
preservation of order and the proper
administration of the law upon the public
intelligence and the public patriotism is
in a very bad way. Its stability is doubt
ful, and its condition very unhealthy and
unsound.
Il is an outrageous fallacy to say that

arbitrary Arrest Of Major MoCardle.

We have received several rather lengthy

of that province. We have not room to

is the arbitrary arrest of one man, or ten
thousand, or indeed million of men, or

rally subordinate negroes in juxta-
position-the former, without saying any
thing else, have twenty per cent. more
brain, and the human laws, hitherto
adapted to the nature and wants of each,
secured such perfect peace, order and
happiness, that for two hundred years
there was never single soldier needed
or seen in the South. Thirty years ago,
gang of lunatics appeared in our midst
who proposed to abolish the laws that
we're adapted TO the nature and wants of
the negroes, and reversing the order of
nature, and reconstructing the design
of God, to make them equal with the
white people The outraged people
would have murdered these wretches,
but the police protected them, and now,
thirty years after, we fad President of
the United States sending an army of
fifty thousand men into the South to en-
force the idea of these accursed mis-
creants Eight millions of white men
ruled over by military despotism, in or
der to degrade them to level with four
millions of race towhom God has given
twenty per cent less brainl Why, if
Andrew Johnson, and Ord, and Howard,
aud the tout ensemble of the impious and
accursed tools of the Abolition lunatics,
could live million of years, and be
cruci6ed and pass through the pangs
of a violent death every ten minutes Of
that million of years, there would be
some small approach to proper retri-
button for sins against God and crimes
against His creatures so unutterable.

of the order Of nature as we'll as over

generous mind admitted They sss5Hisd,
contrary to the national welfare, that the
South could not be trusted, and contin-
ued their oath.binding and their disabil-
tiles for past conduct-and so they have
for the same reason expanded their sys'
TEN to the extreme of radicalizing the
South by Africanizing it-by putting the
governing power in the hands Of negroes
recently liberated from slavery, who are
utterly incapable of the political respon-
sibilities intrusted TO them.
The base motives which have wrought
this result rather increase than blunt
the force of their disastrous conse-
quences. We all know that il is from no
distrust of their fealty TO the Government
that the Southern people are put under
the government Of negroes, but con-
viction simply that they will not vote to
keep their persecutors--the Republicans
in power. The motive but adds irri-
tation to the outrage, and convicts the
INSCRIPTIONS party who have committed
it of reckless ambition that subordi-
mates the dearest interests of the nation
to those of the Republican party, and
would submit the whole country TO ruin
rather than the authority and offices and
patronage Of the Government should pass
from the hands of Republicans
The negroes have most aptly copied
the tactics of their depraved teachers;
and in the examples VIC have Of their
constitution making we see that the oath
for the voter is one Of their means for
degrading the public mind. The Ala
bama Convention imposes the oath that
the voter is never to favor the disfran-
chisemeRt of negroes That visionary
sheet the New York Tribune is the only
paper we have yet seen that favors the
putting of such an oath in the constitu-
ton of any State; and the fact is sufficient
to damn it as monstrous. 1t is not at all
surprising that the negroes should re-
sort to the oath. White men have
taught them. But white men will learn
that it is not the way to preserve rights
and secure order, and the negroes will
have to profit by the same lesson. If
negroes ought not to vote, the oath can
not save them. Ifthey ought, their right
will be safe without the oath. 1t is part
of the system of humiliation conceived
by a party of unsurpassed malignities,
and can only aid in the continuation Of
the feeling of resentment and sense of
outrage which adjourns the day of peace
and refers its solution to future convul-
sions.
There is no fact clearer to the minds
Of all rejecting persons than that the
persistence in the impractical and ex-
asperating measures and policy of Rad
icalism must subject the country to an
other great convulsion before peace and
harmony can be established Richmond
