The Radical Double-faced Platform.

The Chicago Republican platform, on
the two leading questions of the day-the
money question and the negro suffrage
question-is thing of two faces, yea, we
may say, of four. On the money question
it has face looking East and face look
West and on the negro suffrage question
it has face looking South and a face
looking North. We have shown that on
the national debt this doublc-faccd plat
form may be claimed by Butler as calling
for greenbacks, and by Greeley as demand
ing gold for the five-tweuties. On negro
suffrage thus reads this two-faced platform.
"That the guarantee by Congress of equal
suffrage to all loyal men in the South was
demanded by every consideration of pub
lie safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and
must be maintained while the question OF
suffrage 10 all the loyal States properly be,
longs to the people of those States" This
is shabby backdown from the grand Rad
ical ideas of universal suffrage" impair
tial suffrage" and "equal rights" Con-
gress, having forced universal negro sut-
frAge upon the late Rebel Southern States,
is bound to maintain it over them but
Ohio and New York last fall, and Michi-
gan this spring, having each, by heavy
popular majority repudiated universal ne
gro suffrage, Congress will not touch nor
do anything for their colored populations.
Mr.. Senator Summers bill providing by
act of Congress for universal negro suffrage
over all the States must be held for more
convenient season, and Wendell Phillips
are left to mourn over or revolt against the
treachcry of the Chicago Convention. The
genuine equal rights Radical, North and
South, if no double dealers themselves
with Sambo, will show their scorn by put
ting an independent Preside ntial ticket in
the field without loss of time.-NeW York

CoLFAx KNow-NoTHISG.-Colfax,
the Radical candidate for Vice President
is a politician by trade, and has always
been notorious in Indiana as chronic Of
fee beggar. He was an original Know
Nothing, and as such was elected to Con
gress, being one of the most bitter and
loud-mouthed defamers of our foreign
born fellow citizens. Like others of bis
class he naturally allied himself with the
Republican party, when the fusion be-
tween the Know Nothings and the Abo-
Itionists took place. The resolution in
reference to naturalized citizens adopted
by the Chicago Convention was merely a
tub thrown to the whale and when that is
quoted every naturalizcd citizen will re-
call the antecedents Of the party and the
nominee, Schuyler Colfax, the hnoW-
Nothing.

BEVERLY NASH SxUBBEp By A UNITED

BEVERLY NASH SNUBBED By UNITED
STATES OFFIcER.-A gentleman of high
standing sends us the following facts from
Columbia:
A few days ago Nash had ascertained to
his satisfaction that he was elected to the
Senate, be called upon Major Andrews the
Commandant of the Post, to pay his com
pliments. On entering the room where
the Major was seated, he spoke. giving
him the time of the day, when the Major
reioined; "Who are you, and what do you
want ." He replied !" My name is Nash
sir" "WeII, says the Major, "what OF
that?" "Oh, sir. said he, 1" sm Bev-
erly Nash, Senator elect to the State Leg
i,Iature Of South Carolina, and have call.
ed upon you officially to pay my comPl'
ments as SUCH" "Well, sir, I neither
give nor receiye compliments from niggers.'
But says Nash, 1" am not a Niger, 1 an
colored." The Major brought the whole
matter to speedy and final close by say :
ing You are a niger, sir, and as black
one as Iever san. recognize but three
races, and these are whites, Indians and
niggers." Charleston Mercury,

following


In addition to these it must have "either
Pennsylvania or Ohio, or Indiana With
Nebraska or Nevada, in order to get the
requisite number of ELECTORAL votes to Sc
cure the election.
1t will thus be seen that the newly I" re
constructed States are the ones which
the Jacobins rely upon TO carry the e!ec-
ton, and hence their desperate efforts to
get President johnson out of the way, SO
that Congress and the carpet-baggers may
have full sway in the South. If these
reconstructed States here enumerated
in which every one knows that not one
iL fifty Of the rightful voters will vote the
Jacobin ticket-are allowed to be so man.
ipulated by Congress as to cast deciding
vote in favor of the Jacobins, it will be the
greatest political outrage ever perpetrated
in any country; and if the Conservatives
acquiesce in Jacobin victory obtained by
such transparent fraud and chicanery, they
will be equally responsible with the Jaco-
bins for the final overthrow of Rcpubli-
can institutions in this eountry.-Middle-

Colfax on Free Speech.

In his letter Of acceptance Schuyler Col
fax says:
"If there had been no Republican party, a free
press and free speech would be as unknown from the
Potomac % the Rio Grande as ten years ago"
Perhaps, says the Harrisburg Patriot,
Schuyler has not heard of the doings of
the military Satraps in the South during
the past year. Undoubtedly he is ignorant
that an editor in Tennessee and another 10
South Carolina were lately imprisoned for
structures published upon military govern
ment that several others have been COM
PEELED to relinquish their positions upon
notice from the military authorities
that free speech IS crime that scores Of
newspapers have been warned to cease op-
position to the Reconstruction" acts or be
closed up. He does not know, probably,
that judges have been dragged to prison
for refusing to empanel negro juries that
all public officers have been debarred from
the right to speak in opposition 10 the AT.
ricanization acts of the Rump that thous-
ands of white men have been rejected from
the registry lists for electioneering for a
NultC tud0
have been mobbed, beaten and murdered
by loyal mobs for daring to speak for and
vote the Democratic ticket. OF course he
has forgotten (Radicals have short memo
ries, you know,) the reign of terror which
existed during 1923 4, during which time
more than one hundred Democratic news
paper offices were mobbed and destroyed
and scores of editors thrown into prison
and their papers snppressed,ex excluded from
the mails, &C., because they dared to pub
Iish the truth. He never heard the tinkle
of the little bell, which sent hundreds OF
honest and guiltless men to dungeons for
the "crime" of telling the Radical despots
aud plunderers they were hypocrites and
scoundrels, and that they were dragging
the country down to the ruin and degre-
dation which it is now so rapidly nearing
Certainly Mr.. Colfax never knew or heard
of these circumstances or he would not at
tempt to impose upon the American peo-
pie SO palpable an untruth as the above.

Why Grant Dislikes the Jews.

The question is often asked, " What has
Gen. Grant against the Jews !? 5" or Why
did he issue that notorious proclamation
driving all Jews and other vagabonds cut
side his encampment =" And, not having
seen published any satisfactory answer,
will give you what suppose to be the real
cause of his dislike Of the Jews. During the
winter of 1859 and 1860, while Grant was
living at Galena, he took into his head IL
commence business on his own hook and
thinking there was q speculation In buying
dressed hogs and shipping them to Chicago
he came down to the town of Bellevue, lying
some IL miles southwest on the west bank o
the Mississippi, for the purpose o: buying OF
farmers as they came in town with their
pork, and having it hauled to Gaena, and
there shipped on she railroad to Chicago, OF
in any other way disposed Of so as to make
a profit, which was u very honorable, and il
managed understandingly, could have been
a profitable business. There lived at that
time in Bellevue man by the name of Ro.
senthal, Who was a Jew, and who was in the
pork trade, and, of course, would be glad to
keep The trade in his own hands SO he de-
termined, if possible, not to give Grant much
of chance, and the first two or three loads
of pork, were bid up far beyond its real value
and finally sold to Grant. BY this time
Rosenthal discovered that Grant knew nc
difference between the price Of light and heavy
hogs, when, in reality, there is difference o.
at least one dollar per hundred, ,-heaVy hogs
being worth one dollar the tnost,-the hogs
already purchased being light, and he having
paid The full price for heavy hogs. So Rosen
thai goes TO his warehouse selects out al
his light hogs, enough to load two or three
wagons gets some farmers who had wood
racks on their wagons to load on the hogs
drive out Of town by another street, and come
in on the main road TO the corner where they
were buying Rosen,hal meets them by an
other street, and commenced bidding against
Grant. and, after bidding the pork up to the
full value Of heavy pork, it was sold TO Grant
But The joke, or " sell " being too good &c
keep, it was not half an hour before every
body nearly was splitting with laughter TO
see how the Jew had sold the Galena pork
buyer which so di,gnsted Grant that be
went home that night, and was never seen in
Bellevue after. And that transaction SO EN-
blttered him anst the old tribes OF lsrae
that doubt whether he could now be recon
ciled. And this is undoubtedly the whole
cause of the expulsion Of Jews from his camp

The secretaryship ofthe Senate.

Forney, after inficting n neral odum on
the Senate which any jury would assess al
more than $40 600 damages, has al last been
weedcd out. Various men have aspired 10
his place. Among them Creswell, of Mary
land. He was a secessioniSt in 1861, and
aiterwarG became a torch and lurpentine
tramp. He took advice and withdrew. HIS
record as Senator is Of too recent memory
to make his association iolerabc even TO the
RumP. Fulton, Of the Baltimore american,
loomed up His paper led the applause for
MAJ shall Kane when Federal soldiers were
killed in Baltimore, April 10, 1861, and be
urged making Baltimore a Moscow, before
yielding il to Northern occupation, Oh allow
ing Union soldiers to march through il t.
Washington. He afterwards became 10y
al in a night before coercion, just as Ben
nett did IN The Herald. Since then he has
been the most radical Of Radicals. But
reported to be a strict recuniary proto,
type Of Forney, he was contumaciously re.
jected. Burbridge Of Kentucky wanted the
place. Butler and Bingham laid pipe Cor
him. Probably his hackers defeated him
The memory of the murdered MumfDrd and
the I" blood of an innocent woman" attach
ing to Burbridge's supporters, made the Sen
ale think of the defenccless Confederate sol
diers, twelve in all, whom this man shot in
cold blood one Summer morning near Lex,
ingron. The Senate declined the infomy of
his rccordership'b one vote, not willing, af
ter the experience of FUrney, 10 take Bur
bridge, albeit with 40 scriptura an injunc>
ton as let him that stole steal no more"
These are the defeated candidates. A sorry
list, unless compared with the majority OF
The electors who defeated them, only to elect
one even more in their OVID likeness. This
man is Gurham. He belonged TO California
till that State gave him q fOrclble invitation
to leave last year. Ii may or may not be
remembered that Governor Haight defeated
him at the last election. A packed conven-
ton nominated him. Every decent Repub-
lican paper in the country, including the New
York Post and Times, and several indecent
journals Of the same politics, among them the
TT ibune, denounced his nomination as dis
graceful. California papers sang in the same
key. A third man, and an honest, Mr.. Bid
well, was run against him. Governor Haigh;
had the pleasure Of defeating both by ma
jority of 5000. Repudia'ed by his State
political putrescence buoyed him to Washing
ton. There he has continued the courses Of
lobbyists and what not that made il hea lthy
for him for 10 change his residence. The
man and paper have to be found that have
braved public sentiment by praising him -
He sits where Forney sat, the second officer
of the Senate Of the United States, in the
year of moral ideas, 1868. Should not Mr.
| Cameron's ComUiltee on Deficits in the Sec
retary's Accounts be World.

The Radical Leaders Of 1850 and 1869
Contrasted.

1ne 6aQlcel Leaders OF lSoO anu 1CoS
Contrasted.
A moments glance at the present situa-
tion of the Radical party, will serve to
show its contrast between its condition in
1860 and 1868. Among the conspicuous
members of the Republican Convention
of 1860 were such men as Francis Ill.
Blair, VIM. nj. Evarts, and host of others
embodying the talent and the respectable
ty of the Convention-a majority of whom
are now ranked among the most decided
opponents of the Radicals. In the Chica-
90 Convention Of this year, there were four
prominent candidates for the Presidential
Observation-Disclosures, Seward, Chase and
Bates. The last act of Lincoln's life was
to originate and adopt the policy of John
son. Bates abandoned the present Radi-
ical organization before Lincoln died /;
Seward is an active enemy Of Radicalism,
and if there is one man in the United
States whom the Radicals Of to-day hate
more bitterly than Andrew Johnson that
man is Salmon P. Chase. Then Chase,
and Trumbul, and Fessenden, aud Grimes,
and DooIittle, and Dixon, and Stansbury
and host of other great names were 10
the ranks of the Repu blicans. Now, they
are either acting openly with the Democ-
racy, or are read out of the Radical party
by the hot heads who control it. Nor is
this all that is noticeable. While the
statesmen of the Republican party have
abandoned Radicalism, tle vicious and
treacherous elements of the Democratic
party have entered its fold. The party
which became too corrupt for Chase and
Doolittle, Bates and Evarts, has demon
strated its affinity for Butler and Logan,
Stanton and Dan Sickles. The leaders OF
the Republican party to-day-the men who
have Grant in their keeping-were clam
orous for secession in 1860, and justified
the Southern States in resorting to arms
to repel the exercise of Federal power
Now Butler, Logan, Stanton, and Dan
Sickles are blatant Radical demagogues,
and are accorded the highest positions Of
honor in the party that so recently despis-
ed them. They take the places once Oc-
cupied by Seward, Chase, Trumbull, Stan
berry, ard others like thern.-Albany Ar
gus.
