HE RUIN OF FOUR YEARS.

Zenghis-Khan, with his Mongol hosts, we
are told by Gibbon, ''ruined the whole tract
from the Caspian to the Indus, adorned with
the habitations and labors of mankind, in such
a way that six centuries have not been suf-
ficient to repair the ravages of four years. :"
The only success which has attended radical
policy, is like the baleful glory which flashed
from the sword of Zenghis-Khan. As with
him and his Mongol hosts, conquest with the
radicals means desolaticn. They are capable
of coneeiving and completing no works but
works of destruction. Their rule in peace is
more disastrous than wars usually are. If
continued four years longer the result could
not be questioned. Even the ruin wrought
in Asia by the sword of the terrible Khan
would be thrown into the shade by the raw
ages of a radical peace. For the country
which they would desolate is a hundredfold
tairer, and has been a hundredfold more richly
adorned with the habitations and labors of
mankind" than the tract which extended
from the Caspian to the Indus. And what of
the future ? We may judge what that would
be by considering why it was that the hand of
time could not repair the ruin which still
marked the path Of the Asiatic Attila six
centuries after he had finished his career.
Not only were governments subverted, but
society was overturned; all the human ele-
ments that went to constitute material pros
perry were tainted or destroyed; and civiliza-
ton received a deadly blight in root and
branch. This is what a continuance of rad
ical policy would threaten to this fair and
daar lo1a5 Of cvlIsrrIUs -rvtlia-Y,~--
drearily, and its monuments of ruin would
remain, defying the remedial touch of time.
The only salvation from such a fate is for the
people to turn in their might, and in their
wrath, and put an end to the work of organ
lied ruin and misery Until the desolator is
desolate the country will be in deadly peril.

The Democratic State Central Committee
deserve the highest praise for the extraordi-
nary skill with which all the innumerable de-
tails of the great meeting and the subsequent
procession were carried into execution. No
doubt they were greatly assisted by the grand
marshal and his deputies, and by the leaders
of the different clubs but, nevertheless, the
Central Committee originated the affair, and
brought it to its triumphant and perfectly
successful conclusion

Grant, jackson and Clay.

IL ID certainly not very respectful to
the memory of Jackson and Clay to as.
sociate their names aud memories with
the name of Grant, but, by way of CON
trast, the apparent disrespect will, no
doubt, be exercised. In his letter ac-
cepting the Radical nomination for
President, Grant says:
~ shall have no policy of my own
to interfere against the people.
"U. s. GRANT"
Now, if you want to see the great diff.
ference between this man and the i'm
mortal Jackson, who was statesman
as we'll as soldier, read:
II say again, fellow citizens, remem-
Der the fate of ancient Rome, and rOtc
for no candidate who wilr not tell you
with the frankness of an Independent
freemen the principles upon which, if
elected, he will administer your gOvers-
ment.
''That man deserves to he slave who
would vote tsr mum candidate when
his liberties are at stake,
"ANDREw JACKSON"
Henry Clay was not, like Jackson, a
warrior, but he was, like jackson, a
great statesman. Doyou suppose Henry
Clay would vote for Grant if lie were
alive to-day! If so, undeceive your.
self by reading the following:
"If my suffrage is asked for the high
est civil office d my country, the can
didate, however illustrious and success
full he may be, must present some other
title than laurels, however glOriously
gathered on the blood stained battlefield.
"HENRY CLAY"
