WASHINGTON, May !


The most absolute uncertainty exists regarding

counsel. Judcious people applaud the Senators
for their conduct in this respect.

The Radical party has not only in
jured the country by the measures it
has adopted, but also disgraced it by
the men it has putin official positions.
The State Guard, one of the Radical
organs at Harrisburg, advises its
friends to select representatives of a
better charater than those heretofore
selected, and makes the following
disclosure
"All last winter, while the Legisla-
ture was in session, the committee
rooms Of both the House and Senate
flowed with liquor, and Senators and
Representatives staggered from such
rooms ia beastly INVESTIGATION to in
suit those who occupied places in the
gallery to hear digniiied proceedings
Of the Legislature. These are facts
which cannot successfully be denied,
and we thus lift the veil which has

lainy and the degradation OF politics

Or WirH THEIR HEADs.-If Presi-
dent johnson does his duty the entire
batch of Radical gentlemen who hold
clerical positions in the various depart
ments at Washington will be sum
marily discharged During the i'm
parchment trial, when it was deemed
morally certain that the President
would be convicted, these pensioners
upon the administration indulged in
the foulest abuse of the President and
Of his friends, hoping thereby 10 win
favor in the eyes of Mr.. Wade's new
administration. 1t is stated that Of
the three thousand clerks in the Treas
ury Department not more than five
hundred are conservative men. The
remaining twenty-five hundred are
red moulhed Radicals, who should be
made TO "wallS the plank and air
their politics in a more fitting and
congenial atmosphere. The President
ought by this time TO have learned
that every one Of these defenders Of
Impeachment is a spy in the service
of the managers, and that they have
left nothing undone, and will scrnple
at nothing that will aid his enemies

NEW SERIES--V0L. 5, NO. 10


There Is an effort being re-made Ia
impose upon the public mind, the i'm.
preston, that the Democracy is re-
pudlating party,--and the effort comes
from those who repudiated all private
contracts, in enacling paper to be
gold, by forcing the holders of gold
contracts to take their pay in legal
tender paper when at one time, il
took $50 cents of this paper to buy
100 cents in gold. And the effort
comes too, from those, who have re-
padiated the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States in their arbitrary arrests,
incarcerations without trial or law,
or Military bills subverting the right
of trial by jury, and everything else
of civil rights. sacred among men.
The Democratic party OF this coun-
try is on record, over and over again,
as the most faithful of all parties to
Debts and Obligations. Even in the
darkest paper money times, in this
State, and elsewhere, they have insis-
ted upon paying in gold, when every
booy else was paying in paper. The
party is too old, and the men in it are
too upright to change their principles
or their creed-and there is no doubt,
that when in power, they will be
faithful TO all obligations in the future,
as they have been in the past.
The question in the West, and in
the East, and Centre too-whether
National Banks should issue paper
for currency, instead of the Federal
Government, is not a question of re-
pudiation--nor the question, whether
the principal of the 5.20's should be
paid in paper or gold ?-(no one ques-
tons the gold interest.) There are
two sides to both of these questions
fair sides, and when an issue
is made, it will be found not to be
question Of repudiation, only ques-
tian OF currency, and question as to
the proper construction Of Congress
lonal Act.

Political judges are about us safe

General Grant, in his speech of ac-
ceptance, said You have truly said
that ! shall have no policy of my own
TO interfere against the will of the poo
Pile" Such language may suit the
tastes of some, but from the lips of a
candidate for the Presidency Of the
United States theycome with exceed
ing bad grace. Suppose he had made
a declaration of this kind when he
took command Of the army; who,
among the officers or privatcs would
have defended him Yet, now, his
friends wish to palm him off on the
people, not knowing whether he favors
a military despotism, or n democratic
form of government. That President
Is not. worth a penny who has not a
line OF pOllcy VI uis o'.... --~sl<ed out,
and who, in times such as those
through which we are passing, has
not the courage to declare what that
policy should be. The fact that Gen
eral Grant qualities his announcement
by saying that he has nopolicy of bis
own TO Interfere against the lcW Of the
people, does not relieve him from the
charge Of unmanly weakness. The
President of great people, it he be
at all qualified for the position, can
not possibly escape the necessity of
clearly defining his position in rela-
tion to such national issues as may
from time totime present themselves.
When, therefore, General Grant de-
clares that he ''shall have no policy
of his OWL" he simply announces that
being unfit for the position, he has re.
solved to surrender himself into the
keeping Of his Radical supporters TO
be used by them for such purposes as
they may deem proper. This early
announcement OF his intentions to be
a mere plant tool in the hands of the
revolutionists who have assumed
charge and control Of aim, will more
than convince the people that a man

Full returns from Oregon show how
thorough and complete has been the
Democrat: triumph in that State
Twenty-three counties constitute the
Commonwealth. OF these, thirteen
returned Radical members to the Leg
islature in 1866, and ten cast their
votes for the nominees of the Demo
cratic party. At the recent election
twenty counties chose Democratic
members OF the Legislature, and
three Radicals This is n change that
foreshadows the total disruption of
the Radical party in that locality.
The people are tired Of taxes and un-
wise legislation disturbing the repose
of the country and injuring business,
trade and commerce, They see in
the nomination of General Grant an
effort on the part Of band Of design
ing men TO perpetuato their power in
the nation, and continue tie present
state of affairs, and hence the wonder
full difference between the result in
Oregon in 1866 and 1868. Business
men have become fully aroused and
their votes are telling upon the result
in all directions. Impeachment, the
nomination Of General Grant, and
the action of Butler and his "smelling
committee" have contributed their
share to that stream of public disfa-
vor which is overwhelming the Radi-
cal party from Maine to Oregon. The
