One ofthe Leaders.

The radical party boasts itself the party
OF great moral ideas, and seems to have q
peculiar claim to this title. Take case
In 1884, negro named Aaron A. Bradley,
was convicted of seducing and running, un-
der promise of marriage, yellow eirl, in
Kings county, New York. He was sent to
Sing Sing state prison for ten years. He
served out his time, and without being res.
tored to citizenship, went to Boston and set
up as lawyer. Immediately after Mr.. Chase
became Chief Justice, in 1864, Mr.. Sumner
had this same Aaron A. Bradley admitted
to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Bradley went back to Boston where he kept
up kind ofprecarious existence until 1867,
when he was employed by the Radical Ma
tional Committee to go South and organize
Loyal Leagues and new constitutions for the
southern people. He is now q member of
the Constitutional Convention of Georgia.

INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON.

A priyate letter from q friend IN Washing
ton to the editor Of this paper dated the
25th, says:
aThe plot thickens. You will recollect
NV nropnostications few weeks since
which vou called "alarm in Washington
We are in the midst of revolution, bloodless
as vet. The radical programme is to push
impeachment through with lightning speed
thus bridging over the interval of trial.
Thev dare not suspend him during trial,
but instead, will push the trial, which they
claim will not exceed ten day. "Nous GER
rons." =
No doubt is entertained here of the SEN
ates action. They will carry out the radical
programme. / am satisfied OF the truth OF
these propositions, viz:
lst The President will be impeached and
deposed.
End. Johnson will not be the democratic
candidate.
Sd. The democratic party will elect the
next President.
Morrissey made the following bets at
"Willard's' last night, $1,000 each:
LIST. Grant will not be nominated at the
republican convention.
End. Chief Justice Chase will.
3D. Chase will not be elected.
Enclosed please find what Harding said
about his constituents on the impeachment
question:
Mr.. JUDD, of Illinois, did not propose to
make a speech upon this subject, but he would
have read q telegram from Chicago, showing tna'
| he was indorsed by his constituency in the vote
he should give for the impeachment of the Pres
| ident.
Mr.. HARDING, of Illinois, said he too had
the perfect approval Of his constituents fer th'
impeachment of the greatest criminal of the age
Mr. PIKE, of Maine, contended that the res
olution was justihable in every particular, ant
| said the peace of the country demanded its pas
sage, and by large and unanimous vote
Pendleton is undoubtedly the choice o
the democracy of the entire country, but the
east is against him, and with that section
| opposed to any man, will defeat him.
| it is vitality important that the democratic
| party be united and harmonious in national
state and even municipal operations. 1t i
| not only important to the interest and sue
cess of the party, but it is doubly neeessar,
| and important to the perpetuity and welfar
of our federal and republican institutions
The tendency of the hour is to centraliza
| ton, the destruction of state rights and tn
unwarranted elevation of the military an
| congressional branches of the government
The republican party, under pressure of th
radical element therein, is surely undermi
ming the foundation of our form OF govern
ment. They are changing its fundaments
features, and unless checked and overthrow
will end republican institutions in disaste
and disgrace. 1t is the mission of the dem
ocratic party to bring the government bae
to the era of the fathers--to check the viii
carnival of demagogical license and one
more unroll the constitution as the char
and guide of future legislation.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.
REPUBLICAN ExTRAVAGANCE,
Voters, Read and Compare!


The Rock Island & Moline Union, in ut
ter despair at not being able to find any
fault with the careful and economical man
ner in which the democrats have managed
our city affairs, has, as last resort fallen
back on Buzzard Barnes's old base-siana-
ering the city printer. Its finding iaa'' "'.n N
the very small bills of its fellow-crattsmen is
80 very pureile and mean that 1T has caused
only contempt for its course. Good citizens
have advised us to take no notice Of the
Unions silly ravings-but we prefer differ
ent course. We prefer to make it the occa-
sion OF a comparison between democratic
economy and radical extravaganza and to
show that while our bills have been very
small, the prices have also been much less
than charged in other places.
In order to do this we, yesterday, sent our
assistant to John Lillis, Esq, the city clerk
of Davenport, for information as to the am
cunt paid for advertising and printing in
that city, and he has kindly furnished us
with such facts as were necessary.
Under republican administration, in
Davenport, from Oct. 3, 1866, to Feb'y %,
1867, period of only .fre months, the
printers bills allowed and paid were
pgS2.1sz SO.
During the same period, democratic city
printer, in Rock Island, was allowed and
paid only 1865 25.

From the Galesburg Liberal.
Advocates of Prohibition.

Some time since we referred to statements
made by the Portland correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, in regard to the personal
habits Of the temperance advocates of the
two New England states. The same re-
marks would undoubtedly apply to persons
nearer home. The writer says:
ga gentleman well known in the political af
fairs of the state, asserted in my presence that
he was personally acquainted with sixty nine
members Of the legislature. OF these he knew
sixty One kept spirituous drinks IN their rooms
dnring the session, and most of them favored
prohibition"
Such state of things needs no comment.
A man who favors prohibitory liquor laws
has, morally, no right to use intoxicating
beverages, or offer them to his friends.
We no not quarrel with the right of any
citizen to inveigle the ''damnable traffic" in
his cellar, or to take that for his stomach's
sake which may steal away his brains. But
we have right to ask that every citizen
shall be a man or mouse. If you have q
right to your stimulant, be as charitable to
your neighbor. If you are able to use 1t
mildly, pity the poor, weak brother, whose
appetite leads him to the dogs. While your
principles secure TO you liberty, for the
use or abuse of which you are alone respon-
sible, pray favor no law that would take that
liberty from your neighbor. Be a man or a
mouse; and acknowledge before the world
that you have the courage and the manliness
to practice what you preach.
Remember, that some yield to excess be-
cause they are poor; some because they are
idle; some because they are disappointed;
some from an unhappy nervous system.
Some are drunk on politics, on religion, 9TH
ers in constant contemplation of vast mer,
cantilo transactions. Reflect, that there are
indirect, as well as direct, efforts to oppose
this evil, and sometimes the indirect efforts
are the most effectual. Remember that in
temperance is seldom an isolated vice, il
grows up in wide combinations, and no man
is ever fitted to engage in the work of re-
forming it, until he has sounded the depths
from which it springs.
Be man or mouse. What a man is
really worth, he is; and gets full credit for
finally. Take your regular drinks at home
if you will; but do not come upon the street
with the fumes fresh upon your breath, tc
denounce liberalism, and yelp for strin
gent law. Hypocricy is the only name fol
it; and hypocrite is, in Gods sight, the
worst sinner of them all
