Logic of Radioalism-w whittier Drifting.


Logic of Radicalism-W Drifting.
James Hughes, of Indiana, says the
! Cincinnati Enquirer, is one of the ablest
and most prominent of the Radical lead
ers in that State. He is bold and pos
tive man, of very decided views upon
public questions. He is the Intimate
friend of Morton aud of other Republican
leaders, and is thoroughly acquainted
with their secret views and with the
objects at which they ultimately aim. As
member Of the Indiana Legislature
from Monroe county he lately gave an
account of his stewardship, at Blooming
ton. The Indianapolis Herald had a
special reporter there, who thus reports
the leading portion of his speech:
l am opposed to negro suffrage, not
because they are negroes, or are black,
for those are matters of taste and preju-
dice, but because the right of suffrage
has already been too much extended and
cheapened in this country. While | am
opposed to extending the right of suffrage
to the negroes, am in favor of disfran-
chisiug one half of the white people in
this country. Our fathers committed a
great and fatal mistake in extending as
they did the right of suffrage. All his
tory proves that there is but one interest
that is conservative, and that can be
safely intrusted with the governing
power, and that is the property interest.
When man is possessed of property he
has stake in the country and desires a
strong and stable government, and will
not endanger his property by unwise
legislation or by involving the country in
a war. The great defect in our form of
government has been the want ofstrength
and power in the Federal Government.
1t will be impossible 10 govern this vast
and rapidly increasing country under
| the operation of universal suffrage.
Our system Of government has been
materially and radically changed dur
ing the war, and it can never be
restored TO what it was prior to
the war. The Constitution is not worth
the paper upon which it is written. The
first effect Of universal suffrage will be
TO make the Government more nearly
approach a pure democracy, but this can
not last long We will follow the ex-
ample Of other governments. The strife
Of factions will 70 on until, ultimately,
either the Senate or the President will
assume the control, when We will have a
strong and stable government The
British Government is the best gov
ernment that has ever existed on Gods
earth, and the sooner ours assimilates
itself 20 that Of the British Government,
the bstlor It viii be for the county. i
DO not hesitate 10 declare, no matter how
unpopular Il may be, that II the negro
race, and one-hslf Of the white race, had
good masters and mistresses, they would
be much better OF ans the Government
would be safer aud stronger"
For the truth OF this report the Herald
refers 70 the leading Radicals Of Bloom
ington, and adds that when he concluded
his speech. il vas received with rounds
! or applause. There is little doubt that
