Thad. stevens Recommends Per-
jury.

In Congress few days since while the
impeachers were bowling over their de-
feat and charging all manner Of fraud and
corruption upon the seven Republican
Senators who voted "not guilty. the fol-
lowing transpired between Mr.. Ross, DEM
ocrat, and Mr.. Thad. Stevens, Radical:
Mr.. Ross-I ask the gentleman from
Pennsylvania whether, in his opinion,
Senators would be justified in perjuring
themselves fer the purpose Of procuring
a conviction of the President,
Mr.. Steyens-Well, sir, ] do not think
it would hurt them.
For the benefit Of the Radical party
Senators are informed by Stevens, the
leader Of the party, that it would net
hurt them to perjure themselves for the
purpose of procuring the conviction Of
the Presidentl Let every conscientious
Republican read the above and then ask
himself the question:. whether he can
longer support party whose leader ad-
yises perjury for party purposes.

The New York Times. Q Radical paper,
in noticing the promises Of the Chicago
Convention as to the reduction Of taxa

May 22:

oaght to haue been able to present something
more effective than promises. The party
has been in power long enough to have
gathered q rich store of performance
1t should have been able to 60 before the
country with record Of services render
ed in regard beth to retrenehment and
taxation. The public purse has been for
years altogether In its hands. 1t has had
exclusive management Of the appropria-
tions and exclusive power over the forms
and amount Of taxation. How happens
it, then, that in a platform intended to
set forth its claims to continued conf
dence, it has nothing better to offer than
resolves in favor Of reforms which it has
obstinately, and pablyneglected? Why
is it that no serious attempt has been
made to enforce even moderate economy,
and that, in consequence, the abolition Of
taxes must be followed by their reimpo-
sition or by large addition to the debt?
These are weak spots in the party's re-
cord. They are condemnation of its
recent Congressional career, and a sorry
exemplifcation Of its fidelity and capac.
iiy in fiscal and financial affairs" :s.rss

ten letter to the Cincinnati Commercial,
or rather an obituary of the Radical par.
ty. OF the thieying rascality of the
whole brood Of Jacobins, he says:
aThrough the unsettled condition Of 4
country suffering from civil wars, we have
developed more rascality than any organ
ization ever called into existence. We
have filed the Offices with thieves and
their pockets with stealings. We have
organized rings that in turn create Office
holders and control the Government -
Men go in poor and come out millionaires.
For one dollar paid to the Government
from hard earned taxes, hundreds stick
to the dirty fingers Of official scoundrels,
We have whisky rings, Indian Bureau
rings, manufacturers rings, National
Bank rings, railroad rings, land -jobbing
rings, and internal improvement rings -
From the lowest officials, up to Senators
and Cabinet officers, the taint Of corrup.
ton runs, until the people dased and con.
fused confound the right and listen with
Indifference to the threats Of exposure. =
