Radicalisnl.


tion furnishes such ample explana
lion of Democratic hostility 60 Radi.
salism, aud its preference for the an.
tipodsl article, conservatism, that we
became willing converts to the quaint
creed Of josh Billings, that "when a
man is right he can't be 10 radical,
and when he is wrong no can't be
too conservative"
One would think 10 hear the pop
ular Democratic denuneiation frsd
icalism with which the press aud
stump spec hes OF that d,lectablo
party are so elabora,ely ornameuted
that radicals were a species of crini
nails of deeply dyed iufamy. whose
designs were subversivs Of law aud |
order political aud social, aud whose
success would be "chaOs come again"
The term radical Is considered the |
choice anaihema of their prolific W
of epl,hets. aud comprOmis
os in is awlul comproncnsivonoss of
denunciation ali other terms Of abuse
aud contumely.
In this connection We wish to call
the attention of that modicum of the
Democratic party that can read, to
some facts ia connection with this
horrid chimera kuowu to them as
radioalism.
In the 6rst place, and because it is
an argument that commends itself a,
once to the Democratic mind, be il
known, that radiealism is 50 lar from
being odiOus. that it is really the
passport to power. Look at the men
most bitterly denounced for il, and
it will be seen that they arc the men
who are certain to be returned to
Congress b; heavy aud steadily in.
creasing majorities. while on tue 9th.
or hand the weak .kuecd. invertebrate
member goes back with the most pit
iful majority, or is quietly permitted
TO contemplate his peculiar 2oologi
cal condition in private life. Illus
trations Of this fact are too numerous
to ,neution here
1t is urged that the representative
of radical district eau afford to be
radical because he has a constituency
that will sustlin him, yet it must be
considered that the radicalism Of the
