A New Radical Organ.

leading men Of this party, of whom it may be
said, as it was of the farmers horse, that they
are ''rum ones TO look at but rare ones to CO."
have for some time past been very restive
under the dull conservative weg ght im posed
upon them by the moral cowardioe and ego
tistical carnal- mindedness of the Tribune.
They feel that the imminent defeat and dissO-
luton of the old Republican party must be
largely attributed to the haltng and uucsrtain
leadership of that journal. One after another
II. G. has denied all the vital aud exacting
articles of the radical faith. He has openly
abandoned the saving grace OF Free love,
either under the Influence of some mysterious
siren whose name occasionally appears in
the personal column of the Herdid, or
out of low and wretched subservi-
ency to the prejudices of the fashionable
circles into which the Tribune has been en-
deavoring to make its way since the Union
League got into Madison avenue, aud the
"blOckbeads" once more receive the ''scare-
crow" into their favor. II. Il. is supposed to
have become possessed of few Unt-d
States bonds and il is to this circum stance
that the real radicals impute his recent and
ostentatious reputation, also of another
sacred principle OF their creed, the "c)mmu-
nifty of goods" of which for years he had been
the trusted and trucueut advocate. Free
quently, too, of late, the Tribune has bsen
observed to use profaue language of a sort

is willing to wink at the narrow and soul de-
grading dogma OF the existence of Supreme
Being.
Facts like these have naturally excited
profound disgust in every we'll regulated radi-
cal mind, and those who still hope to achieve
the final and complete annihilaton of the
moral slavery involved in the ideas OF a mono
gamic union between the sexes, and of a con-
stitutiOnal union between States, have for
some time been looking abroad over the coun-
try for a more trustworthy opponent of the
spirit of progress and of the genuine radical
temper. ''Attractions," said Fourier, under

That well-known and truly representative
radical, the Hon. SmellfuDguS PUldoode, who
five years ago was type-setter in the Office of
the skOwhegan CatumouHt but who is now
the prosperous proprietor of the most widely
| circulated political weekly in the world the
| CTosstOwn Radical, published at Crosstown,
| in Florida, has made up his mind to establish
| in New York, real, ringing, snortipg, slash
| ing, shifting, cursing, swearing, stamping,
| frst-cass daily radical newspaper. No mush-
and milk eating, sentimentalizing, turnip-
| planting, prize straw berry toutng sardnes
| will be employed in the compilation, compost
ton and distribution of the New York EUen-
ing Radical. The Honorable Theophilus Cal
| licott, pardOned out for the purpose by
| Governor Fen!on, will take charge of its
| financial column, and the Honorable Aaron
| Alpeoria Bradley, Of Georgia, Sing Sing, and
| Boston, will be associated with the incisive and
| irresistible Smellfuugus in the political drec-
| ton of the Journal. All that the Tribune
md lp1r tba Pal Il
will boldly and eloquently advocate. 1t will
| give voice to the deep and hitherto unuttered
| aspirations which tyrannical society has thus
| far repressed in The bosOms of the thousands OF
! tue and practical radicals upon whom the gas
lan.ra of Maro.n atra4t ana tho buIi,a ayo of .Lu

| throw their false and sickly glare. These
! profoundly misunderstood victims of the faith
| that is in them, these to whom Free Love
| is a reality, and the community of goods q
creed to live by, have never yet enjoyed
their just share in the counsels, though they
have greatly contributed to the success, of the
radical party. They held up the right arm of
Stanton during the darkest hours of the great
rebellion, and history alone will Que day do
! justice to their services in the detection of
"dislOyalty" and the suppression of that
lcentious freedom of individual opinion which
was the life of COpperheadism. The Tribune
has been willing to profit by their sacrifices,

organized influence in the party. All this the
! Honorable Smellfungus Poldoodle will see put
to rights.
Those whose bold and lusty souls, chafug
under the inSolence of the churches, the
brutality of bankers, and the contumely of
the policeman's club, the Tribune has had no
power to comfort with its wishy- -washy drib-
bliDgs from the pap-bOats, and the panada-pots
OF the Union League Club, will now be made
glad by the glowing utterances of Podoodie.
POldOOdle means to force the fighting. Pol
doodle will speak up for universal miscegena-
tiOn at the South, and for the abolition OF
matrimony at the North; for cOnfscating the
estates OF Rebels, and for carving up the
blOated Opulence ofthe few into the jOVial COM
petence OF the many. PoldoOdle will demand
the suppression of the pulpit, and the simulta-
neous erection of the guillotue for the venders
| OF lager beer, for Democratic editors, and for
all who wear clean shirts. For our own parts
we need not say that We look forward with
much compla ency to this coming event in
New York journalism. If there is one thing
we like rather than another, it is a straight
forward and bold antagonist. To us Smell
fungus political principles are detestable, but
we honor his pluck and his enterprise anna
zingly. POldOodle as a radical will be the right
man in the right place Behind him will rally
all the real constituents of the radical force,
all who hate their fellow-creatures and de-
spise them; all who rejoice in profanity and
in violence, the lawless aud the ignorant, the
scGmps who make the popularity of such as
Butler and the noodles who make the repu
tatiOn of such as Sumner. Welcome, then, tC
Poldoodle, aud let the Tribune make way fol
