believed what Ne said he meant what he
wrote. There are tseo rtictioas IN his State.
There ISM real Web organized political par
y in this State. The radical party {God
save themark D is.already to flinders, The
democratic party (what is it ?Awhat COM
posed Of ? is already dead like the maiden
that died-but unlike the maidcn-with no
one to cry talitha cuini ! and raise ii up
from its dead ashes.
And the result is there is a mixture Of
democratic and . sort of conservative white
washed republican old line wLig element in
battle array fighting against wing Of cor
rupt wretches in power yclept radicals who
have already disjointed and fallen to pieces
from the mate rottenness that too ripe ig
norance and mellow degradation Of gem

In fact there il now no radical party in this
State. Then what is this combined mix
ture making war against We answer, the
wind. Thereis nothing to fight. Like the
bilious spots that feat before sick man .
eyes this radical party is floating about IN
the stink and noisomc nothingness Of space
and the contempt Of time and the loathing
and cursing Of a bound to come eternity.
Its own rottcnncss is its Golgotha.
Now is there any sameness Of name and
community Of principle in the multiform
factions who stand with stopped nostrils
over the decayed chunk Of radicalism ? No.
Some swear they are wings and will never
be democrat some vow they are conser-
yatiyes, neither democrats, wings, nor rad

cans, neither whig, democrat, conservative.
nor radical and others swear and be tee
