RadicaIism n Failure.

The New York Hcrald very scnsibly
says: For eight years the Republican
party has been in power, and the final re-
suits, as seen by the people, are the de-
rangcment of all the machinery of Gov
ernment, an almost incredible corruption
in office, and weight in taxes that bears
commerce and labor to the earth. Will
the people longer have patience with a
party that has such history?
And again this practical question is put
to the people;
Can any other party infict upon us
evils worse than these VIC now suffer as the
consequence of Radical misrulc? Re
construction by a system oflegislation that
deliberately forgcs calamity for whole
people, and prepares the social ruin of ten
States, to secure power to coterie of pol
iticians-this is the political crime that
stamps the Radical faction as utterly dam
nablo before the people. Men inquire
what the faction would stop at that would
purchase such an end by such means, and
they know that it will not stop at anything
sacred in the law, and will respect the
rights of the people in the North as little
as it has done in the South. Does the
name of Grant furnish any guarantee fol
the future of the Radicals
What, indeed, can Grant do for the
country? In the hands of the Wash
burnes, Wilson's, and the like, he will bc
as clay in the hands of the potter. Will
no genius for government, no experience
in government, no knowledge or love fol

can such man do to secure peace anc
prosperity to the people ?-Eu Erpress.

MAINE ELECTION The election in this
State takes place on Monday next. The
Baltimore Gazette makes the following
sensible remarks in reference to the result.
Many persons are, we think, attaching
undue importance to the election to be
held in Maine on Tuesday. They have
made up their minds that it will foreshad-
ow with certainty the result of the Presi-
dental election. This is only partially
true. Should the Democratic party gain
heavily i'll that State, the fact would be in-
dicative of Democratic victory in Novem-
Der, for 1t would be impossible that great
reaction against Radicalism should be con-
fined to Maine alone. If then such reac-
tion should show itself there, we NAV safe
ly assume that it will manifest itself in a
still greater degree all over the country.
But we confess we have never looked
with any confidence, have never indeed
cherished much hope of seeing large defec-
tions from the Radical ranks in the New
England States A large proportion of the
people of those States are Radicals by ma
ture, and hostility to the South is more fixed
and intense there than anywhere else Be-
sides this, New Englanders have always
been especially tenacious of their political
tenets, and party changes occur very slow
ly. The popular vote in Maine is some
what over one hundred and ten thousand.
The Radical majority has averaged for
some years past about twenty thousand.
Perhaps larger vote will be pollcd this
year than ever before, and if the Radical
party should hold its own, there will be no
occasion for surprise or Encouragement.
That changes have been taking place in all
other sections of the country. every one
knows, and if we find that the rcactionary
tide has failed to reach Maine as it has
failed to reach Vermont, we shall not lose
our confidence in States in which Radical
maioritics have been for many months so
swiftly and so very surely diminishing.
The late elections in Pennsylvania and
New York, in Ohio and other Western
States, afford the positive assurance that q
tremendous reaction has set in throughout
the greater part of the country, and VIC
will not believe it has ceased merely be-
cause we find no evidence of it in Maine.
We should greatly rejoice to see great
Democratic gains in that State, but we
shall not be much disappointed if we can
not get them, and we arc confident that
the Democratic candidates can be elected
without them.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST VA,

August 26th, 1868. I
GENERAL:-I have had the honor to receive
your letter of this date, and in accordance with
your suggestion, | have consulted with num-
ber of gentlemen from the South, in whose judg-
mcnt have contided, and who are well actluaint-
ed with the public sentiments of their respective
States. They have kindly consented to unite
with Inc in replying to your communication, and
their names will be found with my own appended
to this answer. With this explanation. we pro-
ceed to give you a candid statement of what we
believe to be the sentiment Of the Southern peo-
pie in regard to the subject to which you refer
Whatever opinion may have prevailed in the
past in regard to African slavery, or the right of
IL State to secede from the Union, we believe we
express the almost unanimous Judgment of the
Southern people when we declare that they con-
slider that these questions were decided by the
war, and that it is their intention in good faith
to abide by that decision. AT the close of the
war they laid down their arms and sought to re-
sumo their former relations with the United States
Government
Through their State conventions they abolished
slavery and annulled their ordinances of seces-
sion, and they returned to their peaceful pur-
suits with sincere purpose to fulfil their duties
to the Constitution of the United States which
they had sworn TO support. If their action in
these particulars had been met in II spirit of
franllncss and cordiality we believe that this
old irritations would have passed away, and the
wounds inflicted by the war would in Il great
measure have been healed. AS far as we are ad-
ysed the people of the South entertain no un-
friendly feeling toward the Government of the
United States, but they conf lain that their rights
under the Constitution withheld from them
in the administration thereof.
The idea that the Southern people are hostile TO
the negroes, and would Cypress them if it We're
in their power 10 do so, is entirely unIouuded.
They have grown up in our midst, and we have
been accustomed from our childhood to look
upon them with kindness, The change in the
relations Of Che two races has wrought no change

STAY LAw.-The Sussex Journal urges
a ctay law as follows The continuous
failure of crops in the county has impove-
rished the people and demands some relief
for the depressed condition of the farmers.
Hundreds of honest hard working men have
labored for two years and have not made
enough to feed their families many have
been compelled to borrow money to pros
ccutc their work, and this year the pros
poets are very little better. A stay of
one Or two years would instil new life and
energy into the people and give many
worthy men an opportunity to save their
real cstate-while if pressed at this time
they will be sold out and their property
sacrificed. We commend this matter to
the people and believe that the Legislature
at its next session can and will give such
rolief as will benefit the debtor and do no
injury to the creditor.
