The PresIdentIal CampaIgn.

From the New York Herald.
Two points in the canvass are more i'm
portant than all others the history of the
Radical party and the niger vote. For
eight years the Republican party has been
in power, and the final results, as seen by
the people, are the arrangement of all
machinery Of Government, an almost in
credible corruption in Office, and weight
in taxes that bears commerce and labor to
the earth. viii the people longer have pa
tience with party that has such history ?
This is the question of the hour Is there
any fear in our future that should move
thepeople to trust this party again, even
despite the fearful chance that it may con-
tinue the same destructive career that has
already been so disastrous to the national
prosperity2 Can any other party inhict
upon US evils worse than those we now suf-
fer as the consequence of Radical misrule
Reconstruction by o system of legislation
that deliberately forges calamity for whole
people, and prepares the social ruin Of ten
States to secure power 10 O coterie of poll
ticians-this is the political crime that
stamps the radical faction as utterly dam
nable before the people, Men inquire what
the faction would stop at that would pur-
chase such an end by such means and they
know that it will not stop at anything
sacred in the law, and will respect the
rights of the people in the North as little as
1t has done in the South. Does the name
Of Grant furnish any guaranty for the future
of the RadicalsP The people are not ready
to believe it. Grant is politically, only
promise and possibility. Respectable
men are not willing to doubt his honesty or
his upright purpose; but these do not
always qualify for success in such strife as
he must control to save the people from
his party. He may prove capable; he may
not; and it is time when the people can
not trust their future to such chance
Therefore, the doom of Radicalism seems
to be burned into the popular brain and on
such reasoning as we have limited the peo-
pie appear to drift toward what they regard
as the least of two evils, without faith in
the Republicans, and little hope in the
Democrats. Men on either side count for
little; it is the history of the Radical party
that condemns it. Democracy has bad
history, too, but its sins are trivial by com
parison. If this faction ever desired to
so reconstruct society, it was in the interest
of the white man. The word taxation
hardly occurs in its history, and it never
aimed blow at the Supreme Court. or
sought to cripple the Government in the
person Of the executive. It sympathized
