on the part of the South, especially

We are not only thoroughly anti.
radical and conservative in earnestly
advocating "indepondcnt local State
governmenr as the only safe and
wise method Of ruling country so
vast as the Union, (though We do not
advocate it as Sovereign right, but
as a social privilege, and in this differ
widely from the domoorat~) but we
are equally opposed to the ruling par
ty in insisting upon the perfect equal
lty Of all tho States, principle upon
which the Radicals are worry far from
acting. What we wish in these par
tlcular respects, is exactly what the
democrats wish, but we believe we 20
about obtaining it in far moro prac.
tical way. In other words, Conserva-
tive Republicans can unite with
Democrats upon our platform, but
they will not and caunot place them
selves on the Iudiana platform with
out RAINING against prcjudices and
feelings springing from the war, and
against 'the rcsistle.s logic of cvcLts."
The country needs to get rid of tho
Radicals, for they made the war, and
their ideas are nairow,d by their con.
ncction with the war, and also Of the
Democrats, for their lc.rinc of State

war, and they seem inc pablc Of leav-
