VERY MUCH DIsPLEAsED.

The brindle-haired local of the
Oregonian does not like our closing
remarks on old Thad. Stevens. He
attempts to be very severe on us-al-
lodging that we are ''human buz-
zard,n aud that what we said is eds
graceful alike to the writer and the
human species" But he takes very
good care not to question any of the
facts on which we based our opinion
of the old sinner. We stated that
Stevens was an infidel; that he re-
peatedly uttered blasphemous senti-
ments; and that he lived, some years
before his death, with negro wench,
in open and shameless adultery; aud
as he never expressed any sorrow on
account of those acts we felt perfect
ly justified in concluding that he was
malicious, turbulent old sinner
tyrant of the first water--a blasphe-
mer and contemner of everything
good-a violator of all law, human
and divine-a lccherous lump of phys
ical deformity. We take no stock in
any such man. But it is perfectly
natural that one who, like the local
editor aforesaid, has rccklcssly used
soft soap at spiritual seances-greascd
his gullet with his neighbours hog,
and received heavy bribe to vote
for K. ID. Baker for the L. States SEN
ate, should defend and swear by old
Thad. and take stock in him to an un-
limited degree. They are congenial
spirits, and both serve the same mas
ter-the devil.

words with the BARK On.

II the President elected by the Democracy on
forces or permits others to enforce these Recon
struction Acts, the Radicals, by the accession of
twenty spurious Senator'S and fifty Representa-
tives, viii control both branches of Congress- and
his administration will be powerless tho
present one of Mr.. Johnson's.
There is but one way to restore the Government
and the Constitution, and that is for the President
elect to declare these acts null and void, compel
the aRmy to undo its usurpations at the South,
disperse tho carpet-bag State Governments and
elect Senators and Representatives. The House
of Representatives will contain the majority of
Democrats from the North, and they will admit
the Representatives elected by the white people of
the South, and with the cooperation of the Pres
ident it will not be difficult to compel the Senate
to submit once more to the obligations of the
Constitution. 1t will not be able to withstand the
public Judgment, if distinctly invoked and clearly
expressed this fundamental issue, and it is the
sure way to avoid all future strife to put the issue
plainly to the county FraRk p. Blair.

RADICAL SINCERITY.

Search the records of history from
its earliest period down to the present
time, in christian and heather lands,
and you cannot find an example OF
such perfdious and loathsome insin-
cerity as marks the course of the Rad
ical party. Processing to be the fast
friends of the Union, they have actu-
ally rent it asunder by an act of Con
gress which, as if in derision, they
call measure of reconstruction. Pro
Tossing to be in favor of free speech,
and free press, they have muzzled the
press of ten States, and strangled the
free utterance of seven millions OF
people. Processing to be the peculiar
champions of liberty, they have made
the liberties of the white race of the
South, the object of their especial
pursuit and destruction. Processing
to be advocates of equal rights to all
men, they have stricken down one
third of the States from their equality
in the federal family.
