The principle argument used IN the
mast hy the abolitionists againt slave
~. was. that IL Is "barbarous insti-
tuition" which debases and dogrados
all subjected TO its yoke, even TO the
assimilaiing them, mentally, with the
brute creation Sinco slavery has
been abolished, however, we hear no
more of this argument; 1t seems TO
bo ignored altogether. In opposition
TO Ills, we find Ly the action OF the
Radicals, that they consider the negro
inst manumitted from bondage, their
peer and equal, and as fully capable
as themselves to exercise and enjoy
the elective franchise; his debased
condition and ignorance working moth
ing to his disadvantage. The old fash.
ioned notion, so long inculcatod and
taught tho whito race, that this Is a
government founded on the virtue aud
intelligence Of the masses, is treated
with contempt, and scounted as the
offspring of n diseased fancy emana'
ting from Democratic old Fogics. All
that Radicalism requires now TO make
full hcdged American citizen, is, &c
have an individual to serve as a slave
from infancy, then knock off his fet
ters, aud however degraded and ig
norant he may be, be is considered
disciplined sufficiently, by that party
not alone to wicld the ballot, but alsC
20 be elected to the highest Offices il
the nation and to live under. Verify
The Radical party is progressivej !

This excessively loyal and godly
Commonwealth, is always catering to
royalty and robbing her neigbors-
In what we here say, We do not
mean to disparage the merits Of her
real soldiers, for Butler was by no
means fair specimen Of them but,
with view to future enconomy in war,
the country ought 10 know the ex-
travagant price at which Massachu-
setts patriotism was compensated
during the late contest. General Geo
W. Morgan, in a recent speech in the
House published in the Globe Of March
9th, exhibits by statistics and tab
ular statement, that, "while Massa-
chusetts furnished 1917 regiments less
than New York, on the plea of war
expenditures she has drawn from the
Treasury sl,1s7,671 more than New
York. While Massachusetts, furnish
