ascendancy a curse more to be
dreaded than the secession which
they resisted to the last. There
is one dominant purpose uni.
ting, animating and directing this
grand and exhilarating uprising. il
is a determination to take the gov
eminent of the nation out of the
hands of a wicked party which has
practically destroyed the Government
our fathers made, by setting aside the
Constitution and establishing their
own party will ss the supreme law Of
the land. They are public enemies
and must be overthrown, aud a party
placed in power which will obey the
| Constitution and limit its action by
the provisions of that organic law.
We never can have peace, safety, con-
tentment, prosperity and an assured
future until the nation RECEIVERS for
itself that Constitution which Radi-
Gals have est eside, and makes ii
once more the standard and protector
of the libeltiS and privileges of every
State. The battle this fall mrst settle
forever that this is not a Republic in
the shape Of a c~entral'zd despotism,
and that the irresponsible and huetu-
ating win of a party majority in Con-
gress shall not be the supreme law
Of the land.
While the Democrats are thus uni
ted and moving forward in solid pha-
lark, the Radicals fare torA esuuder
by int slime feuds. Too much turtle
soup sickens a glutinors Alderman,
the stomach of a voracious dog a be
gorged and disgust i, too much car
rion often nauseatos the yJlture, and
it seems that the digestive organs of
even Horace Greeley revolt at too
much Radical corruption. The New
York Tribune Of the 22i inst. says:
Oar Southern friends should remem-
ptT NudL. Llutu as We al the NOrln desire
the success of Southern Repnblicanism.
we do not seek for it at the cost of sup
porting men like W~hittemore, or legisla-
ton like that which we lately had occa-
sion TO condemn in North carolina, or
Legislatures like that of Louisiana. If
they are unwilling to credit us with any
higher view Of the cfse, we beg them to
comprehend that WI n afford to take
such men or Legislatures or legislation on

We have a word for Governor Holden
and Senator Abbott Just before the
North Carolina election we printed a let
ter from Judge Tourgee concerning the
ku-hlux outrages in that State. Certain
very startling statements were made in it
which, but for the respectable signature,
would have been universally secuted.
Judge Tourgee promptly wrote us, COM
planning that the figures he bad given, in
enumersting cases of outrage. had been
increased tenfOld by the addition Of a
cipher to each, conN erting ten into a hun
dred, etc. Now, we printed the letter
precisely IS Governor Holden in person,
delivered IL to our correspondent, and as
the correspondents understood that Gov
ernOr Holden had received it from Sena-
tor Abbott, to whom il wss addressed,
We submit TO these gentlemen that they
have allowed too long a time to elspse
without explaining to US how the dis
garoling occurred. We should /
expected them TO be Ps indignant as
we were ourselves at the fraud practiced
upon US, and to be prompt in exposing
the fOrgsr who abused our trust (in COPY |
ing the letter. by putting into Judge !
Iourgee's mouth monstrous assertions
which he never dreamed of uttering.
Governor Holden! who garbled the letter |
which you gave our correspondent?
In Arkansas, Louisiana and South
Carolina, the Radical rogues have
fallen out and honest men have some
show Of justice. It is delightful TO
see those vile beasts and birds of prey
tearing, rending, biting, clawing and
scratching each other. The savory
epithets which they shower upon each
are IS refreshing es a spring rain.
We know that all the horrible things |
they say about each other are well !
merited. Wereverenee their truthful
when they denounce each
other as liars, scOundrels, cheats, |
fOrgers, swindlers and ~rsscaJs. We
acquiCsce in the correctness of Gree
conclusions IS to Governorf
Holden and Senator Abbott being
''fOrgers' and guilty of "fraud;" that
Whittemore is a "scoundrel," and
the legislation of North Carolina and
Louisianais infamous" and Yeshall
not question Abbott's and Holden's
and Whittemore's opportunities for
.escertaining that Greeley is a ''liar.n
know full well that when they
have exhausted the vocabulary oil
biDingsgate in bIackening each others
character, they will not have SLAM
iered each other in the slightest de-
gree. Their mutual denunciations
and exposures are additional proof
hat truth is mighty and must pre-
