Thai 4 disruption of the Radical OEZapi-
zation is imminent is as plain as MONDAY
It is acknowledged, in tact, in the follow
ing paragraph by the mouthgiece ofSum-
ners
{" II we find a party SO pledged TO cOry
rect PRINCIPLES as TO be worthy OF our
herence we should give it our, ant
service and faithful support. " hills We
remain members We should support ITS
nominations and accept Its platforms. If
tbese become so bad in our estimation as
to be unWOsthV Of our support, our with
drawal from the party which accepts
them should be prompt ald EXPLICIT, No
party can hope long TO msintaln itself IN
bower, or even in existence, which is not
composed Of members who are steadfast
and unswerying."
This is said in reference to the |Com-
mites on the Judiciary" and their back
ers in the Senate, and is rather in the
persuasive tone. TheE6 is no blarpey in
the annexed extract, which more point
edly eOHfsss6s irrecopcilable differences:
'.'rhe Republican party already gives
evidence that il Is composed OF elements
not calculated 70 give strength TO grest
political organization. Many of its mem
bers take pleasure in showing on every
occasion how non-PartisRn they are.
They delight in displays of 'magnanim-
itg,f which, In such cases, mean little
more than allowing opponents to take an
advantage. If nOnihztiG9 does not suit
them they 'bolt;' that is, desert 70 fhe
enemy. Such adherents add no strength
to PaEtE, but rather increase its weak
ness.'
The hint here about boiling nominA-
tioRs has past, present, and fntuEs sig
uifeaHos, thus: The Senate has already
rejected some sound Radicals-the nomi-
nations Of Bond and others still hang hre,
but the principal complaint arises from
welI-prouudsd fear Of the boiting of
Grsat's nomination" by the Radicals IN
1871 i knew what | was about in
making the revelations in yesterdays let
ter. The extraordinary nervousness con-
temporaneOusly and since displayed by
the Rsdical press more than sustains my
.statsment, which, by the way, needed no
such support, being based upon intoTma-
ton fFoR entirely tTsi.ss sssiorthy sources
altogether outside of Newspaper eossii5As
cal ne situation" of parties IS truly criti-
Is anite evident Of calm thought. 1t
grols begin to vote under the e"ieIihe ne
Amendment, they viii be ''perplexed in
the extreme" TO and o4t which stripe of
the Republican party pas the genuine
tipt! They will find politics, to them, rs
ally the forbidden fruit, the taste of which
has brought, even TO many white lips,
nothing bpt bitterness, To the negro the
exercise OF the right Of suffrage viii be
but the beginning OF bis troubles, and end
ing in his extinction.
There is q proposition befoFe Congress
which in effect, II adopted, would give ths
negroes at the South " forty acres and
mule sare enough. But It comes too
late. Tbs TINE has passed forever for
further Discrimination in favor Of the
nero race. A year age, or perhaps
montf, ago, or a week, such Z project
might have succeeded. The sstims-
tio1 in which it is Rosc held
NAV be inferred, from its reference to the
a. Committee on FFeedmen's Affairs"
body virtually JltHetHs o6icio. In truth.
the negro has got all be viii ever get from
the Radical party. Tbs ipestfmable privi-
tege of voting bis new masters into otlce
is the sum total OF his obligations to
Radicals. +.
