put Wade in bis place, the country will
have had three Presidents within foul
years. Had Lincoln lived he would have
been regarded as worse "cOpperhead'
than Johnson, for he instituted the very
policy toward the South for which the
Radicals are prosecuting johnson, and
for which Wade and Sumner denounced
l. lincoln in his lifetime.
The New York Tribune is an organ o

State Convention decided for the pay

Thousands are now winking at the
greenback dodge, who would not like
TO be caught with stolen sheep on ltheil
backs. They think they mean to be
honest after fashion, but they knew
it is a sorrow fashion"
The Republicans in their State plat

in favor of negro suffrage in Ohio, and

their intention to fight for negro suf-

PENrrENTARy BIRDs."-Ben. Wade,
who is recommended by the Radicals OF
Ohio for Vice President on the Grant
ticket, is one of the bitterest enemies OF
equal taxation in the land. He is the
most unscrupulous advocate ofthe bond
holding interest in Ohio, and i'll all
his speeches last fall he asserted that
the men who advocated the payment OF
bonds in greenbacks, OF their taxation,
were "thieves, aud worse than penitcn-
tiary birds" We hope that he may be
nominated on the ticket with Grant, SO
that the people can have again all OPP
portunity of laying him out,

President, Foruey says that "Andrew
johnson was made President by the as
sassin." At the fine Of the occurrence
the Radical preachers said that God re-
moved Lincoln because he was too kind,
hearted for the nations emergency, and
put in his place man of sterner stuff
They lied then, OF, Forney lies now.
Johnson being made President accord
ing to oxe "by the assassin" and, ac.
cording to the other, t'hy the, hand OF

well; and We protest against the Radi-
calls now going back on Divine Provi-
denee as an excuse for o contemplate
party piece of business.
There is a surprising coincidence in
the dragooning system OF tactics re-
sorted to by the white and black Rad
ical leaders. The New York Times no.
tees it in the following spirited para.
graph:
"Stevens and Butler (white mem and
Joe Cox, of Richmond, (black man, y
three we'll known Radical leaders-are
singularly uniform in their views OF
what party discipline requires. Ste-
vens, shaking his Anger above his head
says, in Congress: h'Let sne sec the re-
creant who dares vote on the other
side" Butler says he "would like to
see anybody in the House, or in the
country, who was on their side, vote that
Andrew Johnson was a fit man to be
President of the United States" And
Joe Cox, of Richmond, declared: "TO
all the white Radicals in this House he
would say: IF you are not here when
the vote is taken on this suffrage ques'
tion, and do not,yote for it, or in any
way dodge your duty to US, zoe be unto
yoa.'" If with this worthy trio, Joe
Cox, Butler and Stevens, to drive, the
"white Radicals do not make progress,
or if they try to kick over the traces, II
will not be the fault of the worthy gen
tlelneH. who sit on the box, and handle
the reins and the LASH"

Juror on the trial OF, Johnson, and
it must be yeoDeeded that any par
ticipation in the trial will furnish
ground for objection. There could bt
no special objection to his being sworr

constitutional provision substituting
the Chief Justice for the Vice President
to preside over the Court, on the ground
that the. Vice President was an inter
ested party, could not have. meant that
tho Senator acting as the Vice
President might take lis seat as o ju'
ror in the case. When the time comes
for Mr.. johnson to- appear before the
Court, we are confident that Mr.. Wade
will manifest o, proper appreciation OF
his position by declining to sit in the
Court. Whatever the verdict may be
such course win be better for him, fol
the party to which he belongs, aud fol
the cause of justice, which shonld re-
