As to coalcscing with the negroes, the
inccptors of the wished for movement must
indeed be blind. Such coalition would

This is less II Question of party than one of

That there are good men in the Radical
ranks no one can doubt; neither can. We
doubt their cagerness to leave their asso-

bad company; nor that there ore sensiblc

such policy. If we ere strong enough we
shall win without it, and the victory will
complete. If we are not strong efough, let
us stand together, retreat in good crderi
