serious, terrible farce. But it is not q

happens to be in the majority, is launch.

path Of revolution and destruction, over

States have travelled to everlasting ruin.

party is making, or ,athcr its leaders. il
to look at this impeachment business az
aimed only at Mr. johnson. Mr. John.
son personally, is less than straw in this
great matter. The blow is aimed at the
Constitution of the United States-is
aimed, indeed, at American liberty. In
our system, each OF the coordinate
branches Of tho government is designed
as check upon the extrayagance and q
bar to the usurpations Of the rest. The
absorption Of the executive powers BY
the legislative branch, is deadly thrust
at the vitals of the whole system, which.
if permitted, is the first step towards
Matchmaking the United States. This

THE CAMPAIGN.-From reliable eour-
ces we learn that our gallant standard
bearer, Hon. j. S. Smith, is sustaining
himself nobly. Everywhere he goes he
is listened to with marked attention. He
is literally faying Radicalism. Mr.. Lo-
gan's sophistries are exposed in MASTER
ly manner, and his appeals to the passions
and prejudices of the people cngendered
during the war are met with calmness,
and people urged to view the dilemma IN
to which the Radicals have plunged the
country, and the necessity of immediate
extrication. The attorney for the Radical
party is over matched Mr.. Smith is Q
man of large experience, extensive read
ing, a fluent speaker, close reasoner, and
of logical turn of mind, and, take him
all in all, be is man that few can suc.
cessfully meet in any discussion. He ia
the man for the times and the people.
Everywhere he is received with enfhusi-
asm, and everywhere he fully answers the
of his friends. From the
reports that reach US from all quarters As
the canvass progresses we are satisfied that
grand results may be expected on the
first Monday in june. Mr. Smith viii ba
elected by handsome majority, Radical
ism will be rebuked in our State, and

WHAT IS A RADICAL "A little boy
asked his father the question, what is a
radical, tho "old man" undertook to ex.
plain the conundrun as follows -
"a radical is rapacious animal of the
genus homo native of the New Eng.
land States; but occasionally found in
The middle and western States q satantic
spawn of puritan parentage conceived
in sin; born in iniquity nursed at the
breast of jealousy and self-esteem; rocked
in the cradle of prejudice and intolerance
educated in the school of low cunning
and foul play, and lives by public and
private plumber"
"Now, my son, since I have defined
radical, let me hear you parse it."
Answer. Radical is compound un,
constitutional noun, black in person, do.
clining in number, African gender and
desperate case; governed by the niggel
accordingto to Puritan--one ignoramus gov,

BUTLER.-Gcn. Spoons has sued the
editor of a Baltimore paper for libel. We
had no idea that anybody could libel that
infamous old caricature of humanity. If
truth is defense to the action there is
not much chance for the blear-eyed mon
strosity Of the Boston police dock. Call
him coward, and prove it by Big Beth
el, Fort Fisher, New Orleans, and the
testimony of Ulysses the moukey-rider
aud whisky-destroyer. Call him a thief,
and prove it by the plunder of private
citizens at New Orleans, the robbery of
the bank of Smith Brothers, (whose gold
coin the wretch was subsequently COM
PEELED to disgorge,) and innumerable pet
ty thefts-such as pianos, watches, plate,
jewelry, etc. Call him beast, and prove
it by his brutal instincts and inhuman
treatment of innocent women and chill
drcn. Call him an ABORTION mon-
strosity, caricature on humanity-and
make his face a witness to establish the
fact. How it is possible to libel this vile
creature is beyond our comprehension.
Doubtless the suit is simply an attempt
TO levy black mail, which it will be re.
