CONFISCATION.

The confscation speech Of Mr. THAD.
STEvNEs, delivered vicarously in the House
on Monday, will hardly bring the reponse he
would like. His project meets with very
little favor even among radicals. The Chicago
Tribune, one of the radcalest of radical jour.
mails, has taken grounds against it, declaring
that it is entitled to no encouragement, and
that the Western people do not desire and
will not tolerate it. The same tone pervades
the comments Of nearly the entire Republi
