with the affairs of ala individual and
those of a nation. 1t inter, enes in
the case of Turkey aud Crete; medi-
ates in the case of Spain and the
South American republics; remon-
stiates in the case of France and
Mexico; looks after the morals of
the Fecjee Islanders; and make an
unequivocal nuisance Of itself every
where where there is or is not an OPP
portunity.
These operations are the mission
of Radicalism. In the language of
that inspired ism, this mission is
called reconstruction. Brawling
from the stump; canting from tho
pulpit; sniveIing everywhere, the
Puritan goes about the world on his
mission OF reconstruction. He is not
satisfied with reconstructing even the
world. Beecher has reconstructed
hell. He has reduced tho penal SER
vitude in the sulphurous retreat from
all eternity to a limited number of
years. He has annihilated the devil.
Whether this annihilation of Satan
and the reduction Of hell's penalties,
is or may not be founded upon a
reasonable anticipation that it may
prove of benefit to the party Of
which Mr.. Beecher is a member and
an exponent. needs not, in this con.
nection, be topic of discussion.
Nor do the world aud the internal
regions form an area sufficient for
the ambitious desires Of the Puritan
for reconstru ction. Faults have
been found in heaven, and snivel-
ing Puritan, with spectacles and um-
brella, is laboring to reconstruct tho
policy, polity and general arrange
ments Of the celestial regions. Del
ty was once an awful Being, whose
name was only to whispered with
reverence, aud whose courts were
trodden with unsandaled feet. Dol
ty has been reconstructed, He has
been brought down from His high
state. Once God. lie is now only
god. He is invited to meet in
Radical caucusscs. The political sit
uation is freely explained to Him,
and he is informed which way He
must use His influence. He isap~
preached aud figured with, and Ills
influence is besoush or ordered pre-
cisely as if lie we're no more than a
ward politician Of a little more than
ordinary prominence.
One would think that having re-
constructed all over earth, hell and
heaven, Radicalism would lay down
its umbrella and 60 into q vir:uous
retirement, with the omnipotcnt fat.
