Radical Tactics.

From the Charleston g. o. Mercury.
An experience OF over three years has made
us tolerably familiar with the practices of radi-
cal journalists, especially as regards the
chronicling OF events in the South that have,
or may be- supposed to have, political bear
ing; aud unfortunately almost everything
that happens here is made to subserve some
political purpose II IL is a riet, il is forth
with pronounced "Rebel outrage" without
the slightest reference to the facts or ciroum-
stances Of the case. II negro is shot while
in the very act Of house-breaking or corn
stealing, it is at once heralded as another
fendish atrooity by the X. X. X. But If q
deemed worth recording. II Southern
Democrat makes speech, his utterances are
at once stamped as "rebellious" and "trea-
sonable," his language is reproduced in
garbled form, and not unfrequently words
and phrases are attributed to him which he
never uttered This has been 30 frequently
exposed, that we need adduce no proof to sub
stantiate our assertion. .r
The most recent instance we have met OF the
ready method of the radicals with unpalatable
Southern facts is the cold shoulder they have
given to recent despatch from New Orleans,
announcing that "the Senate installed another
negro, not elected as Senator, in place of
Reuben White (white) elected, but declared
Ineligible" etc. We published the despatch
on the 18th inst. The Philadelphia Inquirer
(radicaD prints the following heading to the
despatch: ga Seymour and Blair despatch for
effect" Now the Inquirer of course can know
nothing of the truth or falsity of the despatch;
and certainly there is nothing in the word
ing of it that to an unbiased mind could cast
a doubt upon either its genuineness or authen-
ticity; and yet simply because it announces an
event disagreeable to radical ears, it must at
once be branded as a Democratic fabrica-
ti0n. What can we expect from q people in
structed by such teachers1
1t would be interesting to know whether the
Inquirer headed the news from Atlanta, some
weeks ago, about the expulsion OF the
negroes from the Legislature, on account Of
inelgibility, with the words, ga Grant -Coltax
despatch-negroes ineligible to Office under the
Constitution of Georgia." On no, that was a
"terIible Rebel outrage" Such is radical fair
ness and consistency.

Return to Power.

Petersburg Va.) Inder.
What the ghost of Duncan was to the guilty
and conscience tortured Macbeth, the ghost of
the Rebellion is to the radicals sit will not
down."
There is nothing, according to them, which
they 80 much dread as the return of the
Rebels to power. If by Rebels they mean
Democrats, there is nothing more sure than
that the apprehension will be verified. Sooner
or later the Democrats must get control of the
Government, and should it be tempted to
abuse its powers, the radicals will find that in
the despotio features which they have en-
grated on it, they will have bequeathed to
the Democracy weapon of fearful power to
turn against the inventors. But it proposes
to do no such thing. Instead of following the
example OF the radical party in exhausting
all Of its force, in the perpetuation
of past feuds and revenge for bygone animosi-
ties, it will effect an Immediate disarmament
OF all the powers and the passions hostile to
the universal peace, harmony, and prosperity
of the country. 1t will disband the Freed
mems Bureau, and thus save an immense
amount of money to the nation, which is now
not only uselessly but pernioiously spent. 1t
will disband the whole army OF officials who
now form an unholy alliance and league to-
gether to rob the treasury and electioneer for
Grant. 1t will nullify the fatal power of the
| bendholders, which starves the poor man aud
Midas-like turns the bread, which should feed
his little ones and the garments which should
clothe them into gold, to satisfy their insatia-
able and greedy and undjust demands.
1t will close the chasm of sectional hate
which yawns between the States--a chasm
which Radicalism is ever widening and deep
ening.
1t will apply the sntiseptic of public eco
nomy to the body polite, now bleeding at every
pore to glut the lseches who fatten on its
! life blood. DOB b. -'.. ~
1t will sweep from Office all the base
wretches who owe their place to perjury.
1t will clear the temple of justice of those
degraded beings who oficiate at its altars,
and conceal beneath the ermine and sacred
insignia of their power and their priestly
office the incarnation Of ignorance, vilainy,
and hes '.f.f., 'I-
1t will do all this and more, not by vio
lencs or for revenge, but by the exercise o.
its just constitutional powers and for the
restoration Of peace and goodwill among the
people and honesty and competency among
its servants.

house. The ladies heard, the next day, that on

that there he'd been a good deal Of wlue drank.

And this miserable lie of the virago Of the
rostrum, echoed by the World, and reduced
to an engraving by the Democrat, has only
this lame leg to stand upon and move withal.'
The World tries to cast the blame as we
have said, on its associate slanderers. II
refers to the Independent, of January 81,
1865, to the Tribune, of April s, and to Wen
dell Phillips, May 20, as the utterers of the
slsnder. Now mark how plain tale shall
put him down. On the 17th of January, two
weeks before the Independent spoke, double
loaded despatch from Washington in the
World contained these words:-
Further concealment of or Charts BILE dalll-
ance with the reputation of this latter officer
(Grant) would now be absurd. II anything is
certain which, though 1t may not be publicly
admitted from bis own lips, is yet distinctly
stated here at the capital by his most intimate
friends, and even boasted of by radical Congress-
men, IL is certain that UlyssesS. Grant, General,
Is ehorn of his hitherto mysterious PRESTIGE
and bound not to kick against the traces to
which he is harnessed at last. while the bab-
bling tongues that are never motionless in
Washington ascribe to q convivial propensity,
for which great commanders men toned in his
tory were remarkable, the neglect of General
Grant to meet his engagement on Monday with
President Johnson"
Three days later the charge was repeated
under the mild eupbuism, "Grant was too much
confused to remember much" A few weeks
later, the World was referring to these charges
as having originated elsewhere, and actually
denied its own statements. Now it calls Phil
lips and the rest vile slanderers, and assumes
virtue to which it has no claim. Who can
place any confidence hereafter, il any one has
possessed it heretofore, in those who will
malign public or private character thus shame

Will not some able Republican, before the
present canvass is over, make just one strong,
effective speech In behalf of his party, its
policy and its future. Can nothing be said
by any OF them worth the attention of think
ing, reasoning meni 1t would be a satisfac-
tion to the World and other Democratic jour
nails to print such speech. Our columns are
open. What we cannot meet fairly and
squarely shall go to our readers, and have its
full weight with them. But we are tired Of
replying to arguments which are but the pre-
tense OF argument. They give us no sense of
opposition. Fighting ghosts is tedious bust
ness; and, besides, the ghosts of war and re-
volution which the radicals have tried to con-
lure up, were so thin and impalpable even to
the obliquest vision that they have vanished
already in general derision.
The hurting of ordure, too, as we must
think the epithets of 'traitor," ''rebel, etc.,
to be, is really not the sort Of thing which
persuade rejecting men to condde the Govern
ment again to men who have only themselves
to blame II they have not punished traitors
for their treason and Rebels for Rebellion.

A Contemplate Campaign.
From TIE N. y. World.

from the NJ y. World.
The Republican campaign thus far has been
discreditable to the intelligence and to the
earnestness of great political party. 1t has
been.a defensive campaign, of course, but it
has not for moment reached the vigor of the
nso-defensive. The issues in debate concern
the government of the country for the next four
years. The Republicans discuss with great en-
phasis those which were timely before the last
four years. Having all but accomplished revo-
luton in the structure of the Government; hav-
ing made it cease to be as a government of the
people, through great part of its jurisdiction,
they have the effrontery to debate our restora-
tion to ancient laws and liberties as if that
we're question of revolution The pretense
is ridiculous, but it has served well to bring
out and define the intensity of the hatred and
disgust of liberty-loving and law-abiding men
for the despotic and destructive Reconstruction
legislation with which their rulers have been
defacing and deforming the structure of our
free Government.
TheYe has been no statesmanlike policy
threading the warp and woof of the last four
years. legislation. No statesmanlike defense
of that policy therefore is possible now when
it is before the people for the first time to
receive Judgment of life or death. The policy
which has guided and determined the re-
construction legislation has been a partisan
policy, policy to perpetuate the party power
Of Republicans at whatever expense to the
prosperity of the people, at whatever damage
to the organic structure of the Government
This explains the feebleness and the intellec-
tual inferiority of the Republican campaign.

Patriotism Stronger than Partisanship.
From the ~ T. Times. .. f .-r ...

-
From the ~. Y. Times. r v.T ...
The imposing demonstration of which
Philadelphia has been the scene, is one of the
many indications of the moral force which is
at work in behalf of the Republican party.
That is not an ordinary political movement
which brings together vast masses of men
who have proved their patriotism on the bat
tle-feld, and who come from several States to
testify to the peril which threatens the cause
they served. Partisan management may do
much. 1t may collect crowd at any given
point, may organize professions and pass re-.
solutions. But something else is needed to
develop the display OF which we recently
heard from Indianapolis, and which has now
been repeated in Philadelphia. But for the
prevalence of strong convictions, and an un-
alterable purpose as their result, such gather
ings would be impossible. ..Ji
The feeling at work is akin to that which
the first cannon shot in Charleston harbor
awakened in 1861. Its source is deeper than
partisanship ever goes 1t has nothing to do
with selfish considerations-with c0nsidera-
tions of convenience or cost, or personal or
political advantage. 1t is an instructive sense
of national danger, and an instructive resolve
to avert the danger and destroy its cause, at
whatever cost. The feeling which organized
armies and conquered the Rebellion is pre-
cisely the same feeling which now animates
the organized Boys in Blue throughout the
country. They are not willing to see their
work undone. They recognize the old Rebel
enemy under the Democratic flag, and they are
resolved that he shall not carry of the trophies
of victory. ..r. ..
The character of the canvass everywhere in
the North and West proves that the election OF
Grant will be the product of great patriotic
uprising, which mere partisans can neither
create nor resist. The question to be decided
has reached the popular heart in shape that
admits not of parley. Shall the battle for the
Union, waged on basis of loyalty, be con-
summated or reversed Shall those who
saved the nation, or those who assailed its life,
dictate the terms Of peace The arts of the
Democratic party have failed to conceal the
real issue to be determined. The people, true
to their instincts and the Union, discerned in
the New York Convention proof of conspi-
racy in the interest of Rebellion, and they in.
tend, by the election of Grant, to crush il
efectually. I'D. ... I'd. ..t.
