The following extract is from an ed't"'
rial in the Pittsburg Post on the speech
Of Senator Spr'gue:
Aud so to-day . Radical faction install
ed in the Capital is trampliog down the
Constitution, t~yrsniziug over millions in
the South, violating the priceless liberties
of the people at the North, %pronouncing
one thing q tslsebood to-day, and acting
on it as a truth tomorrow, and sacri6c-
ing to its own schemes the prosperity Of
a nation. All these things are being
done under the leadership of men, among
whom Benjamin F Butler is not the
worst. The people Of the South and the
Democrats party of the Forth constitute
a large popular maj 'rity 10 opposition to
the despotic and arbitrary proceedings of
the Radicals. What does this opposition
to ? Practically to just nothing.
The faction which holds power by virtue
of fraud and the bayonet is celebrating
the institutions we one held dear, and the
civil liberties we once protested to prize,
and as it advances with ruthless strides,
a few journalists mildly remind it that
bulk CT the people will question it
through the ballot box some four years
hence. 10 the face of all this, can any
at Senator Sprsgue or his opinions?
