THE RUMP DEFENDERs.
1t was laughabIe about The time Andy
was Auttering in The balance, not knowing
which way fate would throw the beam, to
see the Grand CycIops and bell wetbers Of
this dark lantern order comforting one with
another, and venting their pigmy spleen and
impotent wrath upon the head Of The very
man whom they themselves elevated to the
position he ow occupies. How very unfor
;unsts this Radical party is ! why they can't
trust scarcely one Of their former leaders.

host Of their ablest men have deserted
them, and we should not be much surprised
TO hear Of Theodore TiIton, Mrs. Cady Stan
ton and Fred. Douglas bidding adieu to this
sick and dying old concern which is going
down intes,ale to the tomb, and without
hope Of resurrection. What a commentary
on Radical honesty! Johnson was tried
and bonorabIy acquitted by a law Of their
own making and Congr-ss Impeacbing
itself, and declaring Johnson right 10 kicking
out Of the War Office the bloody handed
and Infamous murderer of unoff.uding cit.

seven honest conscientious Radicals to be
found in this modern camp OF Sodom, whom
threats and brides could not inlimidate or
swerve from duty to their country aod jus
tice to the President Their names should
be gratefully remembered by ali men who
love their country better than the success Of
petty party schemes.
THE CANDIDATES FOR YOUNG AMERICA.
The Sacramento Union under tbe above
heading, Isvishly extols Hiram Ulysses and
Rebecca Co|fax as the ne plus ultra Of
Young Americas idea of Presidential tick
ct, and very pathetically calls upon the
young men Of the La,ion 10 rally to the sup
port Of these dcples Of whiskey and meseg'
enatiou.
Would it not be we'll for the future vel
fare Of the country that the young men Of
the nation would pause and reflect upon this
grave and important matter, aud not allow
themselves to be carried away by enthusiasm
awakened by The personal deeds Of a man
Ii 10 DOT men we vote for-but measures,
and governmental policy which will either
end in veal or woe 10 the nation. 1t
matters not what Grant or Colfax have for
merly done or been. they are now the repre-.
senlatives of the Radical theory Of govern
ment, and the defenders Of all the infamous
dongs Of lh's revolutionary Congress. II
the young men Of California, upon whose
shoulders will surely fall the duties and re.
sponsibilties Of government and society, are
prepared for Negro domination, and the
H.
country south Of Mason and Dixon's line,
to negro rule, we would advise them by all
means 10 vote for Grant and CoIfax.
Look upon the map, and behold ten Of
the most productive States of the Union, in
fact an Empire Astounding 10 all the natural
wealth which makes people prosperous or
nation great, and cand'dly ask yourselves
If il is right, il it ia jns.ice to ourselves or to
those who will come after us, to forever ex
clude the white man and bis progeny from
this glorious and beautiful country, or force
him if he does 60 there to 90 as the equal
or inferior Of the negro, and subject to his
brutal will and besotted guidance. If you
wish 10 consecratej this garden spot Of the
world, with its untold wealth. to the negro.
and forever exclude the white men who have
built up this great nation. and under Demo
cratic guidance made the country a grea,
power, then by all means vote for Hiram,
the Gaena leather dealer.
If you young men wish to CONTINUE the
Freedmau's Bureau. and work hard TO pay
twenty or thirty millions Of dollars into it's
drawers to be drawn out by lazy. idle ne
groes and spent IN educating them to vote
the Radical ticket, and riding about at your
expense, while you are Iaboring hard to sup.
port yourselves and families, why vote for
the Radical tool Hiram Ulysses!
you young men wish to pay these lord.

which they most periodically bought from
the Government at IS cents on the dollar.
and many millions Of which they stole out.
right, Why vote for Grant who is pledged,
besides being personally interested 10 paying
these bonds of at three times more then
