Radical Estimate Of the Radical

The careful readers of the Tribune, if
they have good memories, cannot fail to
remember the following sentiments and
language expressed by it within year iu
regard to Gen. Grant:
"Gen. Grant we esteem by no means a
great man, nor even very great general
We want statesman; we want Mr.. Chief
Justice Chase. The republican party con-
tains nc purer, no worthier no more gifted
man. In what respect does Gen. Grant
surpass Mr.. Chase ? is he a better Re-
publican 2 We ask Gen. Grant. No re-
ply. If we want, then, to talk about
horses and tobacco, we may find him the
most valuable of men. NOT ONE
WORD UPON THE QUESTION
THAT RACKS THE HEART OF
THE COUNTRY Take me, if you
will, as Ulysses S. Grant, anl when 1 am
president will do as l please Perhaps
We must take him, but we do not feel like
cheering over it; certainly not so long as
great statesmen remain in ou ranks.
Give us Grant because we can elect him.
Again that cowardly argument. Is there

battle for unknown principles %
These are no democratic utteranees.
Are .he democracy censurable if they do
not "feel like cheering" over a candidate
who refuses to be tried by any decla ration
of his own policy, and yet permits his
name to be used for the advantage o.
those whose practices develop the worst
polices and principles. @ i

LET Us HAVE PEACE.

The southern winds that gently blow
Are laden with a cry of woe,
They watt ten millions freemen's sighs;
While loud mocking spirit cries.
Let us have peace!
Pale liberty has yelled her face,
To hide from sight the foul disgrace;
And trembles as the unshcathed swords
Ring plaudits to those mocking words:
Let us have peace!
Afrighted Justice nerveless stands,
Her balance grasped with trembling hands
While bayonets guard her sacred hall,
Where drums roll out the mocking call:
Letus have peace!
Lost Union walks with mournful tread
Among the graves where lie the dead,
And chants a hopeless requiem there;
While mOcking spirits shout in air:
Let us have peace!
Reunion with the cypress weaves
Her budded, but now faded leaves;
Her blighted blossoms W ide are cast,
Before that chilling, mocking blast:
Let us have peace.
hc HsttiOE SinhS DCucdtu the WclSut
Of endless debt and ruined state;
Taxation makes its fierce demand,
While armies shout throughout the land:
Let us have peace!
"Peace rcigns in Warsaw"-o'cr the dead
'The empires peace"-with freedom fled
So stalks the conQuerer through the land
And shouts with flaming sword in hand:
Let us have peace.

A DEPLoRABLE PICTURE OF THE
SoUTH-A gentlemen travelling in the
South writes in the following strain to a
friend of his here North: / arrived safely
yesterday at twelve o'clock, after pleas
ant passage. The contrast between the
scene presented here and in New York is
enough to shock the feelings Of any well
wisher Of the south. All seems to be lead
here in the way of commercial activity
wharves empty of shipping and the streets
as quiet as a burial place. | am told that
Charleston has been for some time very
active in its military preparations, al
though dead, apparently, to every other
sign of life The negroes are all armed
and every night are being drilled in the
tactics ready for the grand event which
they are doing all they can to bring about
under the instigatiOn of white men-a
collision between the races. The citizens
of Charleston are now perfectly satisfied
that the result of radical teachings to the
negroes of this place will be to bring about
negro insurrection with the view of ex-
terminating the whites and influencing the
country against the democratic cause.
The Indications of a settled design to ex-
terminate the white race upon the first oc-
casion is so apparent that the most respec-
table white citizens, among whom are Mr..
Daniel Ravenel and Mr. Huger, have met
together In consultation and have sent
Senator Campbell to Washington TO lay the
whole matter before the president, asking
not for assistance but for advice, how to
act when the necessity is upon them, TO
defend their lives and property. The
radical programme to be carried cut by the
negroes and their control is to make a
clean sweep of the rebels by the men with
arms in their hands, and they to be fol-
lowed up by the women with tcrches, so
that there will be none left to tell the tale.
These are facts not to be disputed. L
wish the democratic party of the North
could realize these things before it is too
late. counsel al who value life and
property to keep out of this country until
We pass the coming ordeal. Those who
survive will Breathe freely again, but
there is much trouble before us still.

armiug the ignorant blacks against the
whites in order that radical supremacy
might be maintained in the ten southern
states. 1t was to prepare the negro for
the work of death if the whites of the
south refused to be ruled by them. 1t
was by this means radicalism designed to
control tho elections, and when asked by
the conservative element Of congress to
desist, they turn upon them and ask what
they are going to do about it.
Another attempt to defraud the whites
Of the south of their political privileges,
was that of depriving them Of a vote upon
the choice ola president by giving the
right into the hands of carpet-bag, seal
awags, and negro Legislators Of casting the
electoral votes of the states, when it is
well known fact that that the members of
these legislatures were not elected with
reference to the presidential question
This is an outrage upon the political rights
of the people, but in cntire. excepting with
the radical policy.
The speaker then contrasted the candi-
dates before the people. The democrats
present the name Of Horatio Seymour, the
pure statesman, patriot, and citizen, one
in whose hands the people can safely trust
their interests, with full belief that the
government will be administered in the
interest of the masses of the people, On
the other hand the Radical party have
given US the name of Gen. Grant, a man
wanting in all the qualifications of states
man, one who has agreed in advance to
submit himself to the control of party
leaders; one who is without experience,
and who will not be able to free himself
from the trammels of such men as Sum-
ner, and the other leaders Of the extrem.
lists in Congress, and one who. in all pro
liability, will not only bring disgrace upon
himself, but upon the country. The
whole theory of our government would be
changed under his administration of its
affairs, and congress itself would become
the government, as they now attempt to
make it.
The speaker closed HE remarks with
several good humored hits at the leaders
of the radical party, and an earnest appeal
to his democratic friends to labor for the
success of their ticket. believing, as he
said, that all our hopes for the future, and
of free government depended upon the
election of the Democratic nominees.
This Is but very imperfect outline oi
the eloquent an convincing speech or Mr.
Packard, and does not do the effort that
justice that it demands. lie was listened
to attcntively, and the frequent outbursts
of applause indicated that the people ap.
preciated the effort. The speech cannot
fail of good results, as it will attract che
attention of the people to the enormites Of
radicalism as being carried out under con-
gressiona! domination. At the close oil
MIR. Packard's speech, Hon. NJ C. Kerr
was called out, but owing to the lateness
of the hour excused himself to the audi
ence, when the meeting adjourned.

the Ieople OF the State, who, while they would
scorn personally to commit any of these violent
acts il they do not actually sympsthizs with their
peipetrstors, at least refrain studiousy from any
Efforts t. restrain or bring Them to justice, and are
therefore justly liable TO the Indictment OF the
peace-loviDg portion of the community for the Of
tense Of permitting such miscreants to roam at

"Much of the lawlessness is also due to the
neglect If the officers of the law.
" Your committee would, therefore, in con-
sderaton of these facts, recommend the immediate
passage Of such laws as, in the wisdom OF the
General Assembly, can be framed the most
effectively and speedily to suppress the lawless

course whereby peace among ourselves, the con-
fdence of others, and the general prosperity OF
the State can be restored"
