MORE TROUBLE BREWING.

The radical party appears to be flying into
as many pieces as did SUIT Lovegood's yaller
dog, when he was blown up by a torpedo
concealed in q piece Of beef We don't ask
our radical men and brethren to believe our
assertion about this matter, but Just to read
the following, which we clip from the tele-
graph column of the Bangor Whig-
WILMINGTON. n. G., July 10.
The Republican party of this-ounty has divided
into two formidable factions. Each ring has can
dltate i'll the field to fill the vacancy in the Legisa-
ttre occasioned by the resignation of Gen. r. G.
Estes One OF the most prominent leaders of one
the sections, in speech to-day, predicted blood
she'd before the campaign was over.
The Conservatives and Democrats take no part
in the contest and run no candidates.
The most extreme faction, led by Geo. Il. French
and other Northern whites, nominated negro
candidate. and the other faction, composed almost
entirely of negroes. has nominated white candi-
date.
Ii is found necessary TO station Il strong force Of
police 1T AL the me etings held in this city. The
most bitter personalities are INDUCED in by many
OF the speakers. and several slight collisions have
already occurred.
How painful to read Of these things. isn't
it, dear reader! Don't you feel like Niobe
all tears? 70 think that these ebony angels
newly tiedged with the airs of the radical
heaven all about them. should covet such
unclean things as Office. And that they will
disagree about them, and perhaps get excited
and say over ''cuss words. And perhaps
pull wool and painfully kick each others vul-
nerable Sims. l. it possible that Grant sits
in the stable, fondling Marshal Browns pups
and smoking his cigar while this goes on2
And then the impotence of the Conscrva-
tlves and Democrats, who presume to run TO
candidates. Why it is clear that rebellion
is still rearing its head there. Shouldn't
Grant call out the colorcd troops who fought
so nobly, and by force of arms compel at
least one of those contumacious Democrats
to run his can(lidateo
But, after all, the colorcd folks down there
are only following in The common track.
There is Il radical split in Virginia. one in
Tennessee, one in Minnesota, one in Massa-
chllsetts, one in Maine, and one most every
whore. The radical platform is about the
shakest piece Of lumber that has been offer

The radical doctors disagree about the as
pect Of the Virginia election. The kennebec
journal that is generally willing to call any
thing fish that comes toward its net, is hope
full about it, and says
There is no doubt that the election in Virginia
resulted in an endorsement of republican principles
and policy but what shape parties in that State will
assume in future is not clearly seen.
Doubtless in time the Journal will be able
to ''see it, The Prog. Age, having had con-
siderable of the gall Of bitterness infused in
TO it by many disappointments, looks at the
matter with different eyes. and frees its mind
thus
The triumph of this conservative party is but a
restoration of the old disappointed. venomous rebel
leaders to power in the South.
That's considerable latitude for brethren of
the same faith to indulge in. We don't know
how this unhappy difference OF opinion can
be reconciled unless they get Sam. Blake of
Bangor to write resolution on the subject.
The Bangor Wing says Gov. Hancock was sac
rifced' in the Pennsylvania State Convention. 1t
would be curious indeed ifthe Wing should tell the
truth, and say that Gen. Hancock's letter declin-
ing to be candidate was read in the Convention,
