The CampalEn Opened.


The following from the N. Y. Sun,
a Republican journal, indicates who
are hurt:
THE REPCBLICANS FEEL THE BLOW.
The recent elections would seem to
indicate turn in the drift of the po-
Iitical tide. The defeat of SO worthy
and personally acceptable candidate
as Gov. Jewell in Connecticut, last
April, was doubtless due to the un-
popularity of Gen. Grants Admins
tration, and especially to its anti
American, cowardly and shameful at
titude on the Cuban question. The
overwhelming Democratic majority
In this State at the judicial election
was caused in great measure by the
disarrangement and demonstration
diffused through the ranks of the Re-
publican party by the absence of any
inspiring idea in the conduct of our
affairs and by the unwise Federal ap-
pointments made from this State and
city. The loss of Oregon is also a Sc
we're blow to the Administration
The seat of Mr.. Williams, the present
Republican Senator, and one of the
foremost men of the Pacific slope,
was at stake, his term of Office expir-
ing in March next. Great exertions
were therefore put forth by the Ad-
pinistration to carry the Legislature :
but the Democrats having secured
both branches q member of that party
will succeed Mr.. Williams.
The most signal and significant of
these defeats is the election of Emo
ry as Mayor of Washington, by more
than three thousand majority over
Bowen, the regular Republican candi-
date, and the confidential friend of
the President. Now that this catas-
trophe has happened to the admins
tration, of course its champions de-
clare that Gen. Grant took no interest
in the matter, and that the failure to
achieve the triumph of his favorite is
not striking proof of his weakness
at the Federal Capital. The people do
not believe this and, at all event, ev-
cry shrewed politician will assert that
if the President did not use every eff
fort in his power to elect Bowen, he
ought to have done so, and that his
delinquency only affords another
proof of his incspacity to lead great
party in trying crisis.
| In any view of the result, the stun.
ming overthrow of Bowen, under the
very eye of the White House, in the
! presence Of Republican Congress
and in q city sWarming with the bene.
ficiaries of the President, must be &C.
/ cepted as an indication that either hi.
days or those of his party are draw
ing to close. 9l3 iuio3 . 1ygHf

The Truth from a Radical.

The following paragraphs are cop.
led from q isttep written by Govern
or Palmer, of Illinois, in favor Of the
adoption of the new Constitution Of
that State. The Governor is o Re-
publican, but IN this extract he utters
some wholesome truths which the
people should read and heed. It is
passing strange that one recognizing
the tendency of Radical RULE towards
ind the overthrow of the
Government establish by the Consti-
tuition Of the, Fathers of the Republic,
should still continue to support the
destruetionists. He says: s9ial- zs
lLG"'The tendency of our Government,
State and National, Is to the idestruc.
ton of individual rights of liberty
and property. To prove This, and for
no other purpose, I cite the revenue
laws Of the United States,i under
which arrests are made and property
seized in a mannerst that would. at one
time have provoked resistance in any
State of the Union; while, according
to the modes practiced in modern
times, property is taken and taxes
levied under State authority for pur.
poses that until very lately, were
thought to be more private and per.
sonal and under modern interpreta.
'tions of the Constitution the people
are taxed to build railroads, sink coal.
shafts, erect bridges, canals, dams, and
embankments, and for many other
purposes for the mere private bene,
fit of corporations and individuals
and every county, city, township and
town is threatened with ruin. a7a Z
I 1t isfAot possible to maintain liberty
for a tax -bnrdenbd people, The
tramp of the ax-gatherer is fatal t.
liberty, disguise the matter as well
and the people of the State may, BY
the adoption of the Constitution, pu
some limit upon the necessary, though
dangerous power" ,"a24 92ft'rrG n
