The Apostles of Radicalism.

We cannot conceive of more damning commen-
AIRY upon the character Of the great of the North
ern people than glance at the whom they delight
to honor There is question but that Butler is now
the most influential man in the Governmental man
branded by the universal verdict as thief and poiti
cal scoundrel
Sumner, another shining light and apostle of North
ern sentiment, is pulling politician who affects cas
sizes but is devoid of manliness of character and in
response to kick delivers you an Grafton of well
rounded periods the sense and substance of wbc is
mean and dastardy vndictiveness against the South
whose courage and hlgh-toned chivary eternal
reproach to his ittleness of soul and arrant pol
troonry.
Yates is simply sot, whose brain is always mud
died with the fumes of bad whisky
Grant is little else than horse and dog fancier,
whose ideas of craftsmanship go very little beyond
judicious arrangement of stalls for his horses and
kennels for his dogs Elevated to his present position
by Of those lucky chances that sometimes fall to
undeservng mediocrty, he has, even in the estimation
of bis friends, shown himself utterly devoid of those
qualities that 60 to make up politician statesman,
and stands as example of what foiles people can
commit when their better feelings blunted by pas
sion and their minds warped by prejudice.
Old Greeley is impractcabe visionary, who,
though gifted with large share of brains, has them
so peculiarly arranged in his Uranium that the sections
act and react upon each other and Misunderstanding
In his time, defender of every ism that has had birth
in the diseased minds Of Northern man or woman at
one time breaking out with spasmodic sympathy
with tho OpDnta of tho Snuth ND with tba
urging on the vile pack of hounds that obeys his call
a we'll trained pointer obeys the sportsmans whistle
The Bridgeport (Ct) Farmer says of Wendell Phil
lips He is inordinatey vain, conceited, arrogant,
superclious, bgoted dogmatica dctstoral tratorous
old reprobate but had sufficient courage to stand
forth and expose himself to any of the penalties of
treason by single overt act in exempfcaton Of his
teachings" People who have seen Phillips say this
likeness is a very striking one.
And Brownlow, the precious Brownlow-but We
gods the pencil faers and fails utterly in attempt
deneae the features of this reverend rascal, and
it need only be said that he is fit associate for bis
comrades in the arms Of infamy.
This list could be strung out to ergth indefinite,
but taste orbds and will drop the curtain upon the
hideous spectacle after permitting Burlingame to fret
his brief moment upon the stage This distinguished
gentleman, whose decease recently chroncled with
many tears gained his elevated position in the Radi
cal party by coup with the particulars of which the
Cincinnati Enquirer refreshes our memory. When in
Congress, he delivered vituperative speech of 80
personal a character that be challenged to duel
by Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina There is
where he made a mistake, in supposng that those
Northern Jacobins make personal fight in the
collision which they provoked Their habit is, and
always was to run from them. But in this instance
Burlingame made fent acceptance. He pretendeda
readiness to ght but insisted that it should take place
at the Clifton House, at Niagara Falls on the Canada
side. At that time the hotels were filled with runa-
way negroes from the South, and Mr.. Brooks life
would not have been worth moments purchase if he
had been foolish enough to have gone there for duel
with his antagonist Them again. if it had been fatal
to Burngame, Brooks could have passed through
the North alive 1t obvious that the whole affair
on Burlngames part, mere dsgraceful trick, to
create the impression that he recognized the code of
honor" while, at the time he had no intention of
complying with its requirements. Yet nevertheless,
so cheap and paltry the herosm of the Abolition
agitators that the who escaped duel by naming
impossible terms voted by it hero and received
immense applausel
