"CoPPERHEADIsM," according to defni-
ton of Mr.. Farnsworth, of Illinois, Radical
means "a preference for "a government: of
''civil law over a military despotism." We
accept the definition, and so will the coun.
try. RadicaIism means "a preference for a
military despotism over government of
civil ''law." This is shown by their acts,
both committed and contemplated.

We End it impossible to understand
how auy enc can one day bear testimony
to the worth and honesty Of another,
and the next accuse him broadly OF pur-
poses that are ~tre6cherous and dishonor-
able.
On Thursdsy, the Avalanche spoke Of

attached +" and on Saturday 1t declares
that it Ia willing to adjourn the discus

The editor Of the avalanche well knows
that the editor Of the APPEAL is1ncspa-
bic Of t~reachery, and can afford to smile
a. an iraputaticn of dishonor. He knows
that We have aIa0oyS been infiexibly OPP
posed 20 negro suffrage.
He well knows that, in this matter, We
are wholly influenced and governed by
principle ard conviction. He knows
that there is no human power that can
compel US to deny our faith or profess
that which we do not believe. Our c.
reer as journalist closes this morning;
and we are glad to be able to say that we
hove sought no quarrel with any one;
that We have g spoken, until now,
of the editor Of a journal as an individual;
and that we have e~ndesvored to be Just
aud courteous and fair to all.
We are free now and, IS an indl-
viduAl, shall speak what We think, with
out fear, favor or affection. We shall
never speak unless we are asked to do

but when we do speak, no man or num-
Der Of men shslI dictate what we shall
say. We shall not speak upon q stand

suce, expecting his speech to be reported

ator superior to many Of another color.
When a negro speaker IS sandwIched be-
tween two white ones, 10 teach white

Il will not be the entertainment 10 which
we have been invited.
We do not imagine that the Editor OF
the Avalanche saw, before 1t was pub.
lished, the siDgularly offensive paragraph
published on yesterday. We prefer to
believe that he is innocent Of it, and to
part from him In friendship. Our devo-

Burch vas unable TO leave home, snd
therefore delegated his powers to Col.

night they had, by appointment, q con.
ference Of two hours, during which time
matters were fully discussrd, The
President referred the delegation to re-
cent orders IS the limit of the executing
power in the matter, but assured
them that the means authorized by the
Constitution and laws would be used to
procure the freedom of the ballot box
in Tennessee and other Southern States
without interference by Federal or State
troops. The President took the ground
that the Constitution forbids q of the
States from maintsining a standing army
OF paid soldiers that militia duly Is in
eumbent upon every ~citiseD, VINO can
only be exempted from 1t by payment of
fine or providing q substitute that the
militia Is an emergency force subject to
be called from the piox or thu ieoIa at any
moment, SnG from which NJ eitizen can
escape; but that a standing army of paid
troops, in any State, is repugnant to the
Constitution and to the spirit of our In

of the Executive will be used to prevent
