A~gf5at city Is laid IN ashes, and then
we hear the boast that in few years the
ruin will be uudiscernable; all will be re-
paired and the tide of prosperity will flow
again. When hundreds of thousands are
consumed by war, as iu Europe, and null
titudes by famine, as in Persia. similar
expressions are heard. Aud the practi-
cal result is that there is not wholesome
fear of those Judgments engendered and
exercised by the people. The minds OF
many fall into calculating averages and
cycles. and rspetitious of history, and thus
gradually forget the direct interposition
of God in those calamities.
Our design in these observations is to
caution our readers against any fippancy
of expression, and against any lightness
of thought, respecting the Divine judg-
ments. They are serious things. When
Jesus, as the burden bearer aud vicarious
sufferer for his peoples sin. entered into
the administration of Gods Judgment
upon himself. be exhibited the greatest
depression, agony, and trouble. He had
the courage and strength of the holy ma
ture, yet be Was afraid aud sore amazed.
How much more, then, should sinful
dust aud ashes fear and trrmble before
God. He will be sancti6ed in his crea-
lures. and had in reverence by all that
are round about him.
1t is, therefore, becoming in all his
people to stand in awe of him when his
arm is made bare. 1t is becoming to
deprecate his holy anger, and to feel that
We are entirely unequal to cope with his
chastisement And as fear is naturally
shown oy avoiding exposure to the dan
serous cause of loss aud suffering. SO it
follows that the Christian should avoid
those sins which bring judgments upon
the nation or city. Aud if the nature Of
Divine judgment is so unmistakable. If
the retrloution is so clearly similar to the
offense. blood for blood, burning for burn
lug, famine for luxury. and thrusting
down for presumptuous blasphemy. that
no mistake can be made in our criticism {:
if, moreover, our conscience does not ac-
cuse US of the overt commission OF acts
which have provoked the Divine judg-
ment. We have still to see that we are not
partakers of other mems sins; are not
benefited by them. and thus involved in
the just reward Of their deeds. 1t is bet
ter to err on the side of tenderness. than
TO be too couf lent and to challenge to
ourselves deserved immunity. 1t be-
comes US to stand in awe and to be afraid
of Divine Judgments. learning thereby
the nature Of Gods righteousness. aud
practicing it upon all iniquity. This is
the holy reverence which is needed to
be cultivated no fear that it will appear
in devout expression aud conduct if once
wrought aud maintained in the heart by
the Spirit Of God. Such fear is not iu-
consistent with love, but works thereby.

may refer to the sense in which it is un-
derstood of the carnal nature But il
referring to Jesus, then Flesh" not
possibly 10 his case referring to such a
nature, can only mean the created human
nature in its entireness.
The argument is this. If Jesus ex-
pressed. fear of Divine Judgments, aud
the inspired and regenerated Psalnist ex-
presseo the same feeling, then the Ian
guage is becoming to all the followers OF
Christ and to all who are under the opc-

THE STRUGGLE.

The political current is Enthusiastically in
favor of the Democracy. Shall we of
the South contribute to continue it so, or
shall we by mistaken eXertions change
that current and throw upon the Nations al
Democracy the labor of rowing up stream
for another four years The highest in
ierests of the country, if not the very ex-
istence of a Constitutional Republic, de-
maud of US the most watchful care, the
greatest prudence and unceasiDg labor.
The struggle is of the people against
cliques and unpatriotic combinations. 1t
is intelligence against pretense. 1t is
purity against pollution. 1t is economy
against robbery. It is reduction of OK
penses and taxation against increased
debt and continued taxation. 1. is the
welfare of the country agsiHst specula-
ton, fraud and rascalIty on the part of
these in power. With the advantages
which the Democracy have in such
struggle they must wiz, if they manage
with esrnestness snd industry. TIE peo-
pie of the South are most deeply inter
csted in the result Of this struggle. If
We fail, let not the failure be attributed to
the lack of energy or want of discretion
on the part of the Southern Democracy.

RAuTOAL KU.KLUX.

AWsshington special to the Cincin'
natl Inquirer states that the Republican
organ st Washington is authority for The
statement that the Republicans OF the
Southern States are organizing an sssoci-
alton to be known as the National Guard
The same paper says that the object OF
the association is to punish the Ku-Klux,
and TO take the law into their OWL hands
for that purpose.
The real object of this new move Of
despairing and desperate Radicalism is to
provoke conflicts in the Southern States
SO as to afford pretext for Gen. Grant
to introduce his bsyonets in the South,
and to furnish "Outrages to be used as
political capital in the Northern States.
1t is species of political management
which is ready to jeopardize peace aud
good will to accomplish political success
that further frauds and corruption may
be indElged in under the guise of law.

THE RADICAL PROGRAMME.

The Albany Argus discloses the Radi-
cal programme agreed on by the leaders
of ths: party. 1t was TO be a campaign
of defamation, and it was to commence
forthwith. At the South the Ku Klux
cry was to be raised, and the Democrats
were to be sssailed as traitors to the COlG-
try, enemies to its peace and order, tor
turers of negroes, instigators of mob VIC
lence, leaders OF a rebellion not yet sub
dued. By the means of travelling com
mittees, lying newspaper correspondents
and the banded combination of the
ofiiceholders Of the South to frame
and spread the fabrications, it
was expected that the public mind of the
North W uld be ipfamed and revoltad
with the stories of Uutrages, conspiracy
and treason. At the North, the accusa-
tions we're to be directed against the
Tammaoy leaders, and all that could be
rolled up against them was to be charged
against the Democratic party of the North.
The Democracy of twenty States
measured by the standard of a contested
organization in single city
The object of the outcries was to dis
vert the attention of the people from the
usurpstions at Washington, from the sys-
TEN of plumber, that had given away to
corporations a domain of public lands
equal to the era of the whole original
thirteen States; that hsd erected an agis-
tocrscy of bondholders, exempted from
taxation; and that had created vast sys.
TEN of favoritism and monopoly under
the device of protective tariff.
"Ku- Klux, Ku Klux, KuKlux ~
"Tammsny, Tammauy, Tammany!"
That was to be the cry. Could they keep
it up for sixteen months! They had KEEP
up the bleeding Kansas delusion for a
longer time; ami though they knew the
public were weary Of these outcries, and
had realized their falsehood, they still
hoped to use these two to revive the AMI
mosities of the recent civil war, and
TO carry on another campaign Of hale.
But they are disappointed in this. "Thst
powder has been once shot," and will
not go off again. Mr.. Greeley's tour in
the South, and bis candid statement, plac-
ed the responsibility for disorder where
it belonged, and showed that the remedy
had always been in the hands of the par
ty in power at Wsshington-a general
amnesty. Other testimony confirmed
his, and the impression is gaining ground
through the country that the negroes, IN
the license of their new franchises, are
as often the aggressors IS the victims.
Our contest is higher one than this
Il is constitutional government that is On
trial. Is it to live as il was designed By
the fathers of our political system, a bull
walk of public liberty and personal
rights, or is it 10 sink under military die
