impeachment fizzle the Radicals have a
high time charging each other with all
manner of corruptions. The Senate has an
investigation committee and the House has
one, each smelling for bribery, etc. 1t is
notable fact that the integrity of no Demo-
crat is assailed by implication or other
wise. Is it not astonishing that amid the
Juror of charges every Democrat in the
Senate and House stands above suspicion,
while hardly dozen of the opposition do
so? This is a terrible commentary on the
prevalent corruption of the ruling party,
and one which will not fail to attract the
attention of the tax-paying slaves of the
country. No wonder the people will not
ratity the action of the Chicago Convention
in public demonstrations. No wonder the
prudent and knowing men of the party
confess that nothing will save them from
defeat but foolish and suicidal action on the
part of the Democracy Wayne Countg
Democrat.
TIE twelfth plank in the Chicago plat
form, we suppose, was added by way of a
joke. For proof of which look at the Top
pressed people" of the South. The Chicago
platform processes sympathy for all ''op-
pressed people" yet the white people of
the Southern States are compelled, by the
very party that gave uttersnce to this pro-
fession of sympathy, to kneel and bow
down to military power that is far more
which caused their Revolutionary sires to
strike for freedom. The condition of the
South under Radicalism, is fair example of
the condition of the whole world were it
under Radical management. Sympathize
with your own countrymen gentlemen (;
relieve them from their depressed and op-
pressed condition, as it is i'll your power TO
do so, before asking the people to swallow
the dose prepared for them at Chicago.
Remove those bayonets that glitter over
the Southerner's head. Remove the iron
heel of military despots from the throat of
that people. Remove your alienizing, dis
franchising laws-from the white man, the
dust of whose patriotic sires reposes in the
land laid waste by your hands. Do all this
before asking the people to believe that
your sympathy is with all the oppressed
people, which are struggling for their
rights" Be consistent. Hypocrisy don't
suit the people. Your bottom plank is an
insult to common sense, to say tue least

RoGUEs FALLING OUT T!-From one end of
the country to the other, the Republican
press is now engaged in denouncing the
"treachery," s:perjury," corruption" and
general moral and political rottenness of
such leaders of their o,on party as Chase,
Fessenden, Trumbull, Ross and others. A
poetic effusion from Whittier is published
approvingly in the Ne,o York Tribune, ap-
Chief Justice Chase! If onehalf of what
is charged against these Republican leaders
be true, and it undoubtedly is, it is about
time the country had a change of rulers in
high places.-Ohio Eagle.
HEALTHY SIGN.-On last Monday evening
at the jubilation meeting at Troy, the first
gun was fired by our old friend Louis Hay
ner. Mr.. Hayner has heretofore been one OF
the most intelligent. active and influential
Republicans in Miami county. There were
many others of the same sort participating
in the meeting. Why not? Chief Justice
Chase says that all patriots should combine
to overthrow this Radical party under such
leadership as at present cOntrolled.-PiquC
Democrat.
WE CAN Do IT.-When our neighbol
can find ONE Republican who ever fired
on his country's flag, then he may charge
the calamities of the past eight years upon
the Republican party, but until then let
him hold his peace.-Signat.
Wendell Phillips, ONE Republican, boast
ed publicly that he had labored nineteen
years to destroy the Union.
Nathaniel Banks, ONE Republican, in the
halls of Congress, said "the Union might
slide."
Senator Chandler, ONE Republican, said
the "Union was not worth rush light"
Horace Greely, ONE Republican, prayed
that the "wayward sisters might be per
mitted to depart in peace"
John Brown, ONE Republican, fired OF
the flag of the United States at Harper
Ferry, destroyed the property of the Gov.
ernment and committed murder. He ha
been canonized and made a saint In tht
church of Black Republicanism.
@Edwin M. Stanton, ONE Republican
patted jeff. Davis on the back and told hin
to go on-that secession was right and h,
(Stanton) would assist in bringing it about
He did assist in the murder of thousands
of Union soldiers by refusing to exchange
"healthy rebels for id Skeletons"
John A. Logan, ONE Republican, recruit.
ed for the rebel army. and was bought by
Lincoln after he had been refused com
mission by Davis.
Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, oNI
Republican, boasted in the Chicago Con.
vention that he had fought against the
flag" four years, but was a good Radical
now. And he was loudly applauded by
the loyal" Convention to which the editor
of the Signal was a delegate.
We might continue the list and fill oul
paper with the evidence of Republican
treason and crime. We do "charge th,
calamities of the past eight years upon the
Republican party" and the record will
sustain the charge. We further charge
that party with seeking the destruction o
the Government and the establishment o
a military despotisn, with Grant at the
head. Therefore, tfe Signal will please ex
cuse US if we positively decline to holC
our peace.-Wee Weekty N orthaoest.
