DEFEAT OF THE RADICALS

Notwithstanding all the power of the
Radicals end their utter shamelessness
in the exercise of it, they have been
signally defeated in every effort they
have made to corrupt Southern opinion
In the midst of the greatest calamities
that ever afflicted people struggling
with want, threatened with civil war,
trampled on by the military, they have
yet through all, maintained their jnteg-
rity and their faith. At the close Of
the war they calmly accepted the situa.
ton, showed a sincere desire for restora-
ton to the Union, and cheerfully COOP
Grated with the President in his policy.
They have firmly adhered to it, to thi
hour, as it was the only plan of reunion
consistent with the Constitution and the
rights of the people. There have been
few men among them like Jo. Brown of
Georgia, eager to eat the leek of Radi.
calism. The stupendous folly which led
them to raise the standard of rebellion,
has been atoned Cor, to great degree,
by the constanoy and firmness with
which they have maintained their
ground, unawed by power, and unse9u-
ced by patronage. The Radical princi-
pies and policy have taken no hold on
the minds of the people. The newspa-
pers established by the Radicals in the
South are sustained solely by Congress
sional patronage and exactions from the
negroes, who cannot read them, as soon
as the patronage of the Government
shall be Withdrawn, under Democratic
administration, and the army and Bu-
reau removed, Radical organs will die
away at once.
The irmness aud determination, and at
the same time, the moderation with
which the people of the South have re-
sisted every threat of Radicalism, in
the midst of the miseries which beset
them, would have taught any other par.
ty on earth but the Radicals, the wis.
dom of practising policy of magnanim>
ity and justice, instead of coercion and
revenge. They have met the desire of
the Southern people for peace and har-
mony with insolspce /; they have at
tackled their frmness with cbicano, fraud
and violence. 1t is no marvel at all,
that the work of reconstruction has ob-
tained no solid foundation among the
people. The structure is as fraii as tho
card house of Children The negroes are
incapable of giving it an intelligent sup>
port, if they were willing. 1t has no
props out the Bureau and the bayonet,
When this scafolding shall be removed
down goes the whole fabric OF fraud, re.
venge and violence, and the world will
marvel at the blindness and infatustion
OF party which could waste is ener.
gies, and wreck its existence, in the at.
tempt to fasten on the great majority Of
the people, Constitutions and laws, ut.
terly repugnan. to their ideas of repub.
lican government, aud in defiance of
their will. History furnishes us no ex.
ample of the success of policy like
that adopted oy the Radicals. Institu-
tious are growth, and are never begot.
ten of the sword of the conqueror.-
When this reconstruction rubbish shall
be swept away by an indignant people in
the triumphant election of Seymour and
Blair, the South will resume the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution, but SO
long denied by the Radicals.

THE CIVIL WAR IN HAYTr-The
war still goes on in Hayi. A battle
took place on the oath Of July between
the revolutionists aud the troops Of
Salnavo, which resulted in a defeat of
Salnaye. The revolutionists have con
centrated force in front of Port au
Prince, and are pressing the siege with
vigor. General Lynch, one OF the rev.
olutionists, has issued manifesto
against the session OF any part of Hayti
to the United States. General Boyer
and his son have been murdered, and
depredations, and assassinations are
prevalent throughout the country.
In St. Domingo, the revolutionary
movement against President Bacz is
steadily progressing under the leader
ship of General Duperon. A dccis i've
victory over the forces sent against
Baez, has been gained by Orgando, one
Of of his generals. The speedy fall of
Baex and the expulsion Of his govern.
ment are anticipated.

No gaugers and storekeepers have
yet been appointed under the new rev.
enue law. About l20 commissioners
for the foImer class has been made
out at the internal Revenue Bureau,
but the Secretary of the Treasury
has not yet signed them. The
Radicals have put the appointing power
in the hands of Rollins, his subordinate,
but no officer can act without commits.

The difference between evil men aud
good, lies not in the esteem OF virtue,
but in the practice of it. The noisy
pretender fails to impress the minds of
observing people with belief in his
sincerity; but he who embraces every
opportunity for doing good, quietly and
unobtrusivelv, proves beyond doubt
that his heart is right 1t is the prac>
ticc of virtue that fits the soul to a clos
er relationship wi h God, and secures
His blessing.

the Bump. A mere military man, or q
mere politician is not what we need in
the Presidential chair. General Grant
is not politician, We admit; but if
nothi n g of politician, is he anything
but mere soldier? AS to his soldierly
qualities, will the popular verdict pro-
claim that success covers q multitude of
dead men needlessly slain !?

NEGRO CoNGREssMEN.-Sumuer, in
a late letter urging the election of ne
groes to Congr ess, says it is the only
true completion of the Radical pro-
gramme.
The howl against the negro which is
sometimes heard in the Senate would
cease. A colored Senator would be as
good as constitutional amendment,
making all backward steps impossible.
1t would be :he shortest cut to negro
rule over us all. Fill Congress with
negroes from the South, and they will
pass laws for US all. Let us defeat this
scheme at the polls next October.
