The war between France and
Prussia, or rather between Napoleon
and William, for the people of the
:tFaterland and La Belle France are
but the tools and victims of the insa-
table ambition oftwo despots, claims
the great share of public attention,
and political news is very scarce.
Our armies, our political armies, are
making great preparations for the
coming conflict between the party OF
tyranny, fraud and usurpation, and
the party Of the constitution, justice
and right. The Radicals now that
they are entirely deprived of their
great rallying cry of the past few
years-the negro, and the ku-klux
failing any longer to do duty effect
lively as of yore, they have fallen
back on their .unblushing cheek and
are going to fight the campaign on
the reduction of the National debt
cabling the Germans by the cry OF
sympathy for Prussia and by steal
ing the Democratic thunder of Gland
grabbing which we have been hurl-
ing at the Radicals with SO much
success as to make the people pause
in angry establishment at their grand
land grabbing rings and swindles
which had the countenance and COM
MERGE of Radical Congress. Now
with an assurance unparalleled in the
annals of brazenness, the Radicals OF
the West, after having granted dur
ing the last session of Congress the
small amount of 79,996,9 5 0
of acres to railroads and previously
having granted enough to make in
round numbers 200,O00,000 Of acres,
also to Railroads, turn around with
i, GOODNESS, only to be acquired in the
mire of Radicalism, and protest that
they are opposed to granting public
8 lands to railroads or other corpora
: lions. After the appeals made to the
: Senate by Judge Thurman, in hi'
i forcible and convincing manner, ask
t ing them to pause ere they had Civ
d en- away to s'rings" the whole patri
mony of the people and thus built NJ
