Liberal Democracy AND CoNsER-
vATIvE RErUBLIcANIsM Tho discus.
sion which has grown up between the
journals of the State rs to the ssthird
party" movement seems to involve
rather question of nomenclature
Of party dcsignation--than of princi-
pie or policy. However much we
may deprecate tho results of recon
struction, yet, for the present at least
they arc accomplished faote," and it
would be folly to ignore them. Nc.
gro suffrage we believe to be "the
direful spring of woes" unnumbered
the instrument by which unprinci-
pied men sustain their "rule and ruin
policy;" yet wo must accept the sit
uation, and fight our foes with their
own weapons, and varqlish them, as
we trust VIC will, on fields of their own
choosing.
The question of suraffge we lelicve
to be question belonging wholly to
the States, but our Legislature has
committed us to the fifteenth amend
| nt nd l.
the result. However much, then, we
may endorse the position of the Ohio
Democracy on this question of negro
suffrage, 1t is no longer a practical
issue. Did VIC not stand upon the
same ground, we might fight with the
same weapons; but if we OF the
South are to Conquer radicalism, we
must do it with tho aid of tho negro
himself. Hence, whatever name we
may adopt, whether sliberal Demo.
cracy" or "Conscrvativo Republican.
ISM" we must still stand upon the
Massachusetts platform, accept tho
facts of reconstruction, and ignore all
else but practical issues. To redeem
our State from tho oppression of radi.
cal misrule is our first duty, and
"anti-rndicalism" should be the great
rallying cry In the elections Of 1870.

The TRIBUNE ON TIE OrlNtoN.
The Tribune Of Saturday makes the
following allusion to the opinion of
Mr.. IIoar:
"The decision of the tcst.oath cues.
tion by Attorney General Hoar will we
trust, put an end to Efforts that at one
time threatened to be dangerous. For
the purpose of ratifyiug the fifteenth
amena auolit iio holds that tho oath is
not necessary. The Legislature will
therefore organize-not under such
P'ido's purge as some hot-heads have
been seeking-but as elected. When
the return of Virginia to her position
rs State in the Union becomes com.
plete by the congressional approval of
such ratification, the Legislature
again, without any tcst.oath require
mcnt, can proceed to business. The
! decision is not without sido that
may seem to excuse if not to sane
tion General Canby's course, but it
effectually stops his proposed action"
Tho New Olleans Times says that
the whole North is beginning to
look to an extreme Southwestern
State for its supply of fresh meat, and
adds: eve have long been furnishing
that people with tho chief material
for their clothing, and now the ma
ligned and prosecuted South is expect
cd to supply them with food. Still, we
are reproachcd with Incidence, lack of
enterprise, poverty of resources, and
general thriftlessness, because we do
not, while producing the food and cloth
ing for this people, also build the ships
and railroads to transport, and the
machinery to work up the the raw
products which We send them"
A dashing young widow in Detroit
prepared pleasant surprise for her
suitor few evenings since. Expect.
ing call from him, she hid herself in
a convenient corner, and as be touch

out in tho darkness of the evening
and aearly smothcred him-with kiss,
