was left In charge Of Grant aud the War
Department, little else for the Radical
Committee TO do. These gentlemen could
not, with any hope Of conviction or dis.
play of consistency, point 10 the acts Of
the Radical Congress. They dared not
come before the people with q record Of
the past, and, shameless as they are,
scarcely dared to make any more promis-

only the occupation OF Congress In legis-

Of Congress in providing any for
the thorough restoration of the South as
an integral important portion of the
Union the refusal Of Congress TO respond
TO the demands Of the people for relief
from oppressive taxation the %unconceal
ed effort of Congress TO dragoon the Su-
preme Court, and the vacillating policy of
an incompetent Administration. For the
future, they had nothing to promise that
they had not promised and left unfultilled

they request to be furnished with the ad-

The duty of Democrats in the coming
elections is more imperative than it ha:
been for years, while the prospect fol
