"they were utterly contemplate but, ag-
gregately, they were most powerful" The
remark is, to some extent, applicable to
the Radicals. Individually they are, SO far
as the so-called whites are concerned, the
meane6t and most contemplate Of all God S
creatures, and, SO far as the negroes are
concerned, poor, miserable, degraded
classes but having succeeded i'll getting
into power in our MUST, they constitute
al awful element of evil and ruin. To the
observer OF their movements here, at this
present reeking centre of unhallo we'd

palpable. Heaven help poor old North

The object of all these appointments is
perfectly transparent. They originate in

the wards of the States charity and mercy,

With his assumption and presumption, he
has impressed them with the belief that he

cracks the party lash, they crouch like
