Ths Coming Political Change. ?
Every intelligent, candid obsezver of pass
ing events must be impressed with the con-
viction that great political changes are soon
to transpire in the country. The overthrow
OF Radiealism in the South and in California
n is too significant to be overlooked by shrewd
observers, and u vast deal of political engi-
neering win be developed during the next ses-
sion Of Congress, IN efforts to conform 10 this
evident change in public sentiment. The stu
pendous efforts to extend the Radical party
into the South has proven failure, and il
must be apparent that all similar efforts in the
same direction will prove equally futile. The
coming elections in Mississippi and Texas
will demonstrate this as clearly Us did those
of Virginia and Tennessee. West Virginia
and Missouri will soon wheel into line too, in
opposition to governing the country by a mi
nority Of the people, through the instrument
tally Of odious test oaths and DISTINGUISHING
constitutional provisions!
Already many of the leading conservative
Radicals in those States are moving TO place
themselves in harmony with the rising t!de Of
popular opinion, as developed in their recent
elections, and openly avow themselves i'll fa-
vor of removing the odious test oaths and OPP
pressive laws by which vast majority of the
citizens of their States have been compelled
to submit to the arbitrary rule of Il minority
The removal OF those disabilities will at once
make West Virginia and Missouri as thor
oughly Democratic States as Tennessee is
now to-day. With the South "a unit against
Radicalism, the Middle States and the Pacific
coast States in harmony with them it cannot
be long before New England fanaticisn will
cease to dominate in the country.
The signs Of the times clearly indicate that
Pennsylvania is to be revoutionized OH the
18th INST, and RadicaEsm driven ont of that
grand old Commonwealth; and, even in Ohio,
on the same day, there is u fair prospect OF
similar results The disintepration of the
Radical party is surely progressing rapidly,
and we expect TO see its ruinous and infamous
career brought to IA close with the termination
Of the present Administration. ..-....
1t cannot be expected that Radicalism will
be defeated in New England until its grasp
upon national power has been broken. Its
devotees are reaping too rich harvest from
the plumber its power affords to permit its
overthrow while tI,e:: opportunity for ma
tional plumber continues. So long as New
England capitalists, monopolists and politi-
clans are permitted by the rest of the country
to enrich themselves by means of protective
tariffs and other laws discriminating in favor
of capital and against labor, they will be very
certain to maintain Radical supremacy at
home; but let their power in the National
Government once be broken and this suprem-
acy everywhere will soon come to an end
Deliyerance from Radical tyranny in New
England must first come through conservative
triumphs i'll other parts of the country; and
those triumphs are already taking place, and
are to continue until everything is made right
and the country rescued from the thralldom
Of misrule and usurpation Of political power
