the party. and all your eidquers, follow
.nit. But the For,y-first Congress Is
chanting the death-song Of the party, of
which. however, / will take n future OPP
por,uni,y to discourse. l am afraid, Mr..
Num- that you, and your political afiilia-
tors are so inten,ly absorbed in patriotic
effort. to grasp the spoils' as to be unable
10 discern the signs of the times. Permit
the to call your attention, therefore, IT not

cupa,ion, toa significant fact or two;
MIR. Geo. II. Weber, Of Springfield,
chairman Of the Radical central commit
tee Of sanramon county Illinois, has
rendered his resignation. lie is satisfied
thai the Radical party has accomplished
i,s mission-fulGllcd Its destiny" He
comes 70 the conclusion that ''when q po-
litical organization has fallen into the
hands Of plunderers and thieves, 1t Is time
for dcccn, men to quit il. Well, Mr.
Mum, I am of the same opinion, precisely
indeed have been under strong convic-
,ions for ycar past. The German. of
Cincinnati, n. Y, St. Louis, and other
cities, who have been Republican adhercnts,
are fast arriving at the same conclusion,
and 1t appears to me that the great mass
ofwhi,c American citizens Of worth and
honesty, are, or shortly will BE- unit In.
this opinion. Radicalism stands. on the
verge of dangerous precipice, and were
it 10 BE- suffered to have free course TO the
summit Of its aspirations, the designing
leaders, allowing to their black allies TO I'll
only minor offices, would rule the dcsti-
mics of tho Caucasian race upon this eonti-
nent.
You, air, have the glamour Of dazzling
prospective, dancing like a jaek-o lantern
h"isre yonr eyes, the deception being en-
HANGED by the color.d mirage through
which you view the entertainments Of ul-
traisn but the American people are
arousing themselves TO disempower this
q. A. R--Grand Army Of Rascality, by
whom they have been so shamcfully i'm
posed upon, and whose foreign policy has
exposed us, as nation, 10 contempt, in

The columns of the BULLETIN will
scarcely afford mo room to-day, to scruti-
nize the machinery of your patriotism
mandatory, or To put you in the witness
boN.
You are becoming sufficiently alive 10 the
fact, that RadicHl.m has effected n change
Of base, and in all it. future struggles
forplaco and power il will have TO depend
mainly upon tho colored vote. He has
lost and e loosing generally, an equivalent
number Of white supporters TO what II has
gained from the newly cnfranchised, for
the reason, that it: ampancy knows no
limits.
You must be also convcrsant with the
fact that secret colored societies have
sprung up all over the onion, one object
Of which Is dominancy. ia case recently

Are You not ashamed, Mr.. Mum, TO be
