The Radical Programme.


For the information, says the New York
World, of those who look upon the radical
party as a religious concern, few facts may
be stated In reference to-the programme Of
that party in the South. Soon after the ad-
journment of Congress, there was gather
ingin Washington. of a few of the leading
spirits Of the radical party, who, upon con
sultation, agreed that nothing short of a few
Southern horrors would enable them TO sue
coed. Two or three " carpet baggers were
sent for and consulted as to the best course
TO get up these horrors 1t was decided that
measures should betaken- to goad the S)uth-
.ern people to an extent that would compel
them to retaliate upon the negroes. If nee
essary, the negroes should be induced to
commit the first outrage in. manner that
would Eor-e an attack back. This, they be
lisved, could be managed so as to throw the
blame upon the white citizens. So com
pletely has this programme been inaugurated
in the South, and arranged in all its details,
that if a negro or a carpet bagger applies
the torch to the house of white citizen,
and the latter lays his hand on the negro, it
is paraded all over the North, in the radical
prints, as rebel outrage, and evidence of
the existence Of rebellious spirit Facts
have been recorded which show that tie re
cent affair in Georgia was pre-arranged by
the radicals The time was selected so as
to have it operate upon Congress when it
assembled on the 2Ist. Those who planned
it believed that through it Congress could be
induced to remain in session. This, how
ever, is only the. commencement of their
schemes to get up harm. 1t is through
scenes of blood that they expect to win, and
care nothing about killing a few negroes or
white citizens, If through it political success
is obtained We remember well the fact
that during border-rufian excitement in
Kansas, a prominent Republican, who is
now shining light in the radical party il
Pennsylvania, stated, when the news came
Of two or three persons being killed; " that
it was the best news he.had heard since the
commencement Of the campaign, He hoped
two or three hundred people would be killed,
fer it would make the success Of Fremont
certain He then added, '' Twill give 3, 600
towards a fund TO hire few roughs to 90 to
Kansas, play the border ruffian, aud kill a
couple of hundred Of the residents Of that
territory This was the spirit of Rerubli-
canism during the first year of the formation
of that party us useless for the radicals
to claim that this man did not represent their
party. For, at this day. the person who made
that uttgance is paraded in the radical press
as one of their purest men. If he IS the
pures5 what must be the others ii this
vas the spirit Of the leaders of that party
then, what may not the public expec: now
that they have been fattening on the national
treasury. The public may therefore look
out for the heralding of all manner of out
RACES IN the radical pressss a prominent
radical remarked a few evenings since, at
the Fifth Avenue hotel " Ne have prepared
a rebel outrage once a week from now until
I election day, il itiafound neces ssary.
