All the talk about new departures, &c,
&c., is entirely unnecessary What the OPP
ponents of Radical measures desire, is the nomi-
nation of candidate for President. who is
honest, capable: and opposed to the political
plans and designs of the present leaders Of the
Radical party, and who will be in favor Of the
administration of the government upon constitu-
tional principles They want to see introduced,
again, economy, retrenchment, and reform in
many particulars, and q recognition the Just
rights Of the States. And, such 4 nomination
we hope to haye-upon which can rally Con-
servativcs, Democrats, and the iudiclous re
aecting and moderate men of all parties. It's
time that ultraism should be checked. The
South, in truth, wants peace. not in word,
but in tact This, we think, can only be brought
about, cfectually, by the success of men oppos-
ed to Radicalism. as il has existed for the last

Davis, or however impolitic it may be thought

Truth from Wendell Phillips.

Grant has made up his mind to stretch
the long arm OfhiS power into the centre
of the rebel States and strnngi" this re-
hclliOn of hsSnSsinS hp crts,f-HiU.tiH, he
will never haVca II Republican successor,
and, when ] say that, am only re-
pcatinG the exact words of the senate
ria! counsellor who stands nearest 10 the
right hand oi the President. am only
repeating what the man whose opror-
tuniticS are the largest to investigate
and whose political insight is the Keen
est to discover, and whose cioScnc~s to
the President renders him the very best
OF authority, confessed to mo, with his
own lips, supported as it was by the
concurrent testimony of half q dozen of
his assistants. If the Congress had adj
jOurncu without giving Grant even that
measure of power which he has to-day.
and left Us t" meet the fourth day of
December as we stood on the first day
of March, there never would have been
Republican successor to General Grant
in the White House"
SO says Mr.. Wendell !'h.l:;;; in his
last speech, and Phillips for the past ten
years has known more about the real
purposes of the Rat!;s.,l party, and fur1,-
iShrd more brains to il than any other
ten men. Not Il single step which that
party has taken, from the Issuance of
the emancipation proclamation to the
passage of the ku-kluN bill, that was
not marked out in advance by this red
Republican of massachusetts. Whcn-
ever the leaders of the ssarmy of prog

mains that he tl:rcs to say what they
