sensibly wilted, and is trying to stand

THE Mobile Register says: "The

the reported ''acquiescence" of the

ments "binding and obligatory" but
three voted aye; thirty-three voted
adversely. Does that indicate acqui-
escence? The Democratic Congress
sional Committee counsel avoidance
of dead issues, but carefully
abstain from including reconstruction
and the amendments in this category.
Is that a sign of acquiescence? The
Maine Democracy characterizes the
reconstructed governments as usurpa-
tons, and the Georgia Democracy
utter not a word that can bind them
to the support of the new order of
things. Are these facts tokens of ac-
quiescence?" The chagrin of the
Times shows dependency, but it
should not despair of converting
somebody to the true Radical faith,
provided there is money in it. Those
papers and men who have been every
thing that has been going there for
thirty years, will join after a while"

THE French Courier of New York

nOblest powers Of the earth, and at
the same time to displace the political
axis of the world. 1t is useless TO
dissemble. The army which has been

THE Georgia Democrats propose to
come square up and pledge their
honor to support the administration
Of General Grant. But they are
already thrown of with contempt.
Their support is not wanted. II
might interfere with the interests OF
the carpet-bsggers. No selfabase-
meRt will do any good whatever, and
the more they truckle, and maneu-
Yer, and fawn, the more they will be
despised. So Mississippi pretended to
love Dent, and even to swear by the
black platform, and swallow the negro
as a savory morsel, and to prefer black
mems rights to white mems rights.
But all to no purpose. As the coward
spits upon the hound that trembles
before him, so the hero of Long
Branch spits on all who snifie and
blanch in his presence. Political
cOwsrdice is the worst impolicy.
They who yield rights, except as Tell
would yield them to his tyrant Cess
Ter, deserve no liberty, and would of
all others be the least capable of main
tanning, if they possessed it.
