seg~The London Economist, the
leading financial Journal of Great
Britain, commenting on General
Blair's letter says:
Nothing so decidedly secessionst
in tendency as this has been put forth
by nominal Unionists since the be-
ginning of the war. Indeed, if COL
onel BIair's programme meant more
than buster, it would mean another
war. We do not suppose that this is
in the least what the Democratic par.
ty seriously wish for. War cannot
be the object of a party which insists
on retrenchment and reduction of
taxation. But the danger of this
sort of boast, if the party which in
dulges it were to succeed in gaining
power, is, that it not unfrequentiy
precipitates those who indulge in it
into a violence much beyond their
wish and intention. When once
they have given their party hope of
policy stronger than that for which
the leaders are in their hearts
prepared, they are not unfrequentIy
held to it, against their own better
judgement, by the supporters whom
they have.

our expectations realized? Who
nominated the ticket the democratic
party are pledged to support ? Who
drew up their declaration of princi
pies The leading spirit of the
New York Convention was Clement
i Vallandigham, the man who voted
the war failure the man who for
his reasonable utterances during tina
war was not equalled by the foremost
traitor in the South the man who
ever opposed the efforts of the loyal
people to conquer rebellion and who
threw the entire weight of his infiu-
ence into the scale of disunion the
man whose name is Synonym OF all
that is cowardiy in treason, and base
IN disloyalty, who strenuously oppos.
ed the raising of q single dollar to de-
fray the cost OF the war, but who
now demands that the shareholders
OF the South be reimbursed for The
loss OF their slaves from the public
treasury. This is the man whose
speech secured the nomination of
Horatio Seymour. Prominent among
those who drafted the democratic
platform was Wade Hampton of Vir>
ginia, the most brilliant of rebel gem
erals, the true exponent of Southern
Chivalry, who gave his immense for
tune to the rebel cause, who defend
cd that cause with his sword, and who
was the first to take up arms against
the Union and the last to lay them
down. This platform made by the
man, and others of kindred spirit,
receives the sanction of the party !;
and with an impudonoe that surpass
es itself. they call upon the loyal men
of the country to abandon the great
principles for which they have SO
long and successfully struggled, to
declare the war a failure, to violate
the pledge of the nations honor, and
in the face of liberty, progress and
humanity to come over to the cause
of disunion, riot and reputation, and
under the standard which crafty
treason has raised, 10 march in the
line of dead men and dead issues to
sure and lasting defeat.
Surely. the democratic party true
to its instincts, its ignorance and it's
prejudice is consistent to the last.

OLD AGE WITHOUT RELIGION
Alas, for him who grows old without
growing wise, and to whom the fu-
ture world does not set open her
gates when he is excluded by the
present. The Lord deals so gra
ciously with us in the decline of life,
that it is a shame to turn a deaf ear
to the lessons he gives. The eye be-
comes dim, the tongue falters, the
feet totter, all the senses refuse to do
their Office, and from every side res
ounds the call, "Set thy house in or,
der, for the time of thy pilgrimage is
at hand" The playmates of youth,
the fellow laborers of manhood die
away and take the road before us.
Old age is like some quiet chamber,
in which, disconnected from the Wis.,
ibIe world, we can prepare in silence
for the world that is unseen.

RadicaIism is it?

A radical man is man ofprogress.
independence of thought and action
constitutes the ruling passion Of his
soul. This is emphatically the the
Dry OF developement and improve
ment. Leaving the errors of the past
and tollies Of the present to the fos'
tering care Of conservatism, he bold
ly strikes out in advance sucking a
purer atmosphere, brighter sunshine,
and a lighter destiny for the race OF
which he forms lart. Ia literature
he leads the van, in science he pre-
pares the way, in art he leaves his
footprints where none ever trod be-
fore
Radicalism has ever been the har,
binger of greatness in each succeed
ing stage Of human development,
while conservatism has never failed
to clog the wheels Of progress, utter
ing for its rallying cry Not so fast
not so far" "You go too fast and
too far for me-" Yet in taking a re
Prospect Of the past half century, we
find that long and rapid strides have
been taken along the road Of pro-
gress and advancement.
Mark the difference between the
conservative and the radical farmer.
Observe the contrast in appearance,
wealth, and implements of husban>
dry, and then determine which is
the most successful tilier Of the soil.
in the public school, academy, or
college, it is the radical scholar that
wins the highest honors, that makes
the deepest thinker, clearest reason
err, the strongest, finest master mind.
In religion, it is not the milk and
water christian that moves the moia al
world it is not the manfearing Minis
lister counting popularity that makes
the church OF Christ power in the
land for good, but it is the radical
tone and spirit of Christianity. A
church composed of ministers and
leymen who dare to speak the words
of truth and soberness in spite ofmen,
and divil too.
In politics as well, the radical man
is the man for the hour. When a
man is right he cannot be too radical,
when wrong he cannot be too conser-
sentative.
"Wait until you know you are
right and then 90 ahead" is an old
maxim but very good one. If
treason and rebellion are right, il
traitors and rebels should, as a re-
ward for their unglorious conduct, be
placed in offices of emolument and
public trust, if it is right to contract
debt and then refuse TO pay the
same, then should men Of such con-
victions publicly maintain them
Brick Pomeroy, blackguard though
he is, is entitled to some respect for
his oulspoken sentiments, the lurking
spirit Of Democracy.
On the other hand, those who are
opposed to rebels holding Office under
the government that they sought to
destroy, should not permit Them
selves to be beguiled by false preten-
tons of loyalty. Can tbs Ethiopian
change his skin or the leopard his
spots r. Let radical minds firmly
hold the vantage ground already
gained, and never quit the field until
the Union shall be oiice more estab-
lished on frmer, stronger basis, q
basis Of eternal liberty and equal
rights to all. Q. u.

AMMAN as Chief Executive, the Dayton

His administration was marked at
every step by a complication of err
rors. Demonstrating with logical eX-
actitude the unconstitutionality of
coercion, he yet denied the right Of
secession, and ignoring the fact Of
secession, did nothing but lying
upon the waters of revolution, huge
but powerless hulk, be drifted with

could have done, it is now mere

THE MARYLAND CONSERVATIVES

THE MARYLAND CONSERVATIVES
The Democracy in Baltimore are just
now much troubled about the with
drawal of the conservative Union
men in that city. There are fully
5000 who swear they will no longer
be tools Of the Democratic rebel par,
ty. Governor Bradfard, at their
head, is welding powerful influence
in favor Of Grant and Colfax. The
soldiers and sailors are also moving
actively, and il is now hoped that
Mary land may be brought into line
for the Union ticket for the Novem-
Der election. The action of the Dem,
ocratic meeting at Baltimore on
Friday night in ignoring the conser-
vatives causes great excitement in
yolitleal circle-, and has embittered
ali Union men. They say the cloven
foot is shown at last.
