called 20 God for vengeanoe, and Cos
sacks, covered with blood, and laden
with the spoils Of costly residences,
were everywhere staggering and sing
ing drunken songs In Icentious orgies.
In all this the Russian held-marshal

This is the same sort of treatment
which the South has received at the
hands of the Radicals since they sur
rendered their arms; and yet they
say to us it is 'kindnessI" The fable
tells of blindness equally as loving
and profitable in the monkey mother
who had one only darllng mOnkey-ling
on which she dotted with more than
bipedal fondness. Her affection for it
was such that she caressed it from
morning till night and from night
till morning. She Rugged it so long
and so hard that she finally squeezed
it to death. II the Radicals consider
their conduct 'kind," we hope they
will try their hand at punishment for
a while, as any change will surely be
for the better. 1t cannot be worse.
liz that modern Sodom, called Con-
gress, there have not for many years
been enough righteOusD Democratic Lots
to preserve the Constitution or to save
the country from impending ruin.
But in the next House of Representa-
tives there will be very great gains
for the Democracy. Several new
members have already been elected
in North Carolina. The Northern
papers and correspondents r show
ing that we will make great gains
in all the Northern States. We be-
lieve that no one claims a majority in
the new Congress, but it is evident
that the Democrats will number more
than one hundred in the next
House, being a gain of at least
eighty members. This result win
strike terror to the Radicals, while it
will encourage the long-oppressed and
disheartened Democracy. 1t will ar
rest further rascality on the part of
the mesgre majority. If the popular
branch of Congress, however, be
Democratic, by whatever large major
ity, it will be utterly powerless to re-
peal those infamous laws and amend
ments enacted by the Radical faction,
or to do any other act being beneficial
to the country, as the Executive and
Senate would interpose." The great
gains which, the Democrats will secure
in Congress, and the universal up
heaval of public sentiment in every
section of the Union, demonstrates
the election of a Democratic Presi-
dent in 1872. The outlook is indeed
encouraging. These great gains will
have been achieved over the opposi-
ton Of a President of popular military
reputation and all the power and
patronage of the Federal State Gov
ernments. A party that gains
strength under such great disadvan-
tages shows that it will, in the end,
achieve its ancient popularity and
invincibility. And these glorious re-
suits, this brilliant future which
awaits the Democracy of the nation,
have been achieved by a
persistent opposition to all and
every one Of the Internal pro-
jects, tricks and cOntrivances of
the Radical faction, beginning at the
beginning, and ending at the ending
of its career Of twelve dismal
years of triumph. 1t is to be
further noted and recorded, that our
bright prOspect-certain success, in
deeds the legitimate fruit of a firm
determination never to lower the Con-
stitutiohal standard a single inch; and
utterly to repudiate all attemps to ig-
more or keep out Of oieD the principles
of the party, which r the same to-
day as they were when the destinies
of the country passed into the hands
Of men who have well-nigh destroyed
its morals and wholly disrupted its
elements Of prosperity-as well as
subjected its people not only to des-
potic rule and private oppression, but
TO the undisguised derision of man
kind. With a President, taking his
seat on the 4th of March, 1873, backed
by a majority in the popular branch
of Congress (then beyond doubt, we
can commence the great task of re-
storing the country to constitutional
government, to be administered upon
the principles of honesty and real
economy. The Senate, as has been
long ago demonstrated, will be power
less to thwart the will of the people.
