NATION.

NATION.
We have been reliably informed that .
truce between the ~contending elements
Of Rsdicalism, called a few days since,
has ressited 10 a proposition by W. J.
SMITH, State Senator and candidate for
Congress, to sell out his supporters to
NUM-, present Representative from this
District and regular nominee for r~e-elec-
ton on the Bulletin, or ToMENY-BEAU-
MONT Radical ticket.
This bargain and sale" has pre-
crossed 80 far that we feel authorized in
stating that a union Of all the elements
OF Memphis Radicallsm may shortly be
looked for, to be followed by the Post
swallowing the Bulletin or vice versa.
ToMENY and BEAUMONT alone, the dad
dies too, of the NUM- crowd, to be pun
ished By q careful exclusion from Office,
and II possible, ~ being kicked
cut Of the party they have tried to make
respectable.
In consideration Of the full and COM
pIeteI adhesion Of the Smithites to the
cause Of DAVE MUM, the latter promi-
ses that In the event Of the
election Of Gen. GRANT, ian i'm
portant provision) SMITH shall
have exclusive control Of the Federal pa
tronage in the Eighth Congressional
District and enjoy the profits and emolu-
ments Of the collectorship Of internal
! revenue which have had SO bilious an
| effect upon our true and tried Demo-
cratic friend RoLFE SAUNDERS. PAT
TERsoN, whose name was lately men
toned for the United States Msrshslship,
Il to be Assessor Of Internal Revenue in
place Of THATCHER. HoUGH think Of
the treachery Of the thing Is to be Post
master in place Of GIsT; and oh erown-
ing disgrace Of all, Judge CONNoLLEY f.
TRIGG lie to be impesched and removed to
give place to Mr.. BARBOUR LEwIs-Mr.
LEWIS, whose highest aim is to bring
about q collision Of races in order that
the party he eo-operstes with North,
may have an addition to their very small

button of the patronage Of the Chief
Commissioner of Police is to be made
between the white and black supporters
of this dirty movement Of q dirty crowd,
BEAUMONT, whom BAEBOR LEWIS, on
Tuesday night dsnominsted the
enemy Of the blacks, because he
allowed his police to arrest,
search and take their pistols and
other arms from them as they returned
home from their meetings-BEAUMONT
is to be kicked out, and ToMENY is to be
consigned to an oblivion in private life it
were better for himself he had never
emerged from. He that plays with pitch
must expect TO have his hands soiled.
This arrangement, which we suppose
is by this time a signed, sealed and deliv-
cred fact, was entered into with the IN
derstsnding thst, as they did, the two
factions were to troop their respective
commands In order that the leaders might
be satisfied Of the strength or weakness
Of their opponents. II SMITH had
more niggers than NUM- the lat
ter was to give in and the proper
documents to change hands. Hence
the leaders Of the Smith gang employed
and paid all the Conservative negroes
they could find to join their procession
in order that NUNS might be dwarfed
into insignifcsnce, 81 was the case.
Hence, too, the demon yelis and fetch
gsmbols of the dusky crowd, VINO, mar
shslled by the redoubtRble BARBOUR
LEWIS, made bold display Of the result
OF his teachings, In pistols, guns and
swords. SMITH succeeded In the pre-
llminaries. OF course the rest has fol-
lowed.
Enough We can add nothing to
this by way Of comment that win more
excite the disgust of our readers than the
simple details given. What other sur
prise Of Radical baseness awaits us, time
will develop, but nothing worse than
this.
