The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-03-24

The New Hampshire election has
thrown the whole editorial corps Of the
Philadelphia Press into Mysteries The
culprits feel that the hour of their doom
is approaching and they tremble as 9th
er criminals do at the certain approach
of Justice. Listen to the wailing Wo
extract from the Peess of the 10th:
Brave New Hampshire calls upon our public
servants at Washington to halt In their mad ca
reer. Her voice, like great bell sounding from
some high tower on wintry night, shouts forth
the way to safety, and in so many words tells
these gentlemen that that way is not theirs.
We had hoped they would overlook
the personal errors of Admi nistration. We
were mistaken There must
be a more magnanlmous spirit in our public
councils Abandon the whole
san Domingo scheme. There is no public opin-
ion TO support II. 1t is clouded with doubts. 1t
has been followed by evil omens from the first.
The temper OF Congress N such rs TO insure Its
deieat. To persevere In 1t In
the face of all these warnings is to persevere in
ruin. 1t would be most gracious act to with
draw the project, and 1t would be crowned with
the favor of the whole people.
We plead in the interest of our great cause.
Pennsylvania has no grlefs She never com
planned when her best and truest men-chief
among the architects of the great victory of 1858
were set aside for confessed incapables. She
has asked nothing of the President but fair ad-
ministration. But IL would be folly to deny that
the cause that wrought the mischief in New
Hampshire are at work in her bosom, and VIII
be succeeded by like result unless they are
| remedied. ,-..
We plead therefore in no mans interest, in 40
spirit of retaliation for great State ignored and
neglected when we ask General Grant to send
the message OF "Peace" to the great party that
elected him. He has the power TO do 1t. He de-
clared in his inaugural that he would have no
policy versus the popular will.
10 We plend in the interests OF our great
party and its army of gallant advocates. Is 1t
right that our young and deserving Republicans
should be made victims on the altar of popular
distrust The candidates who were defeated In
New Hampshire fell, not because they had sup
ported the San Domingo policy and prescription
but because the people feared their success
would be so construed. Shall we add to these
sacrifl ces In other States by perseverance in
this il-starred policy? We pray that President
Grant will reconsider the question In season. 1t
is never too late to retreat from mistake. 1t is
never too late to do good.
But it is too late for Radical repent.

New Hampshire Election.

The unexpected result of the New
Hampshire election and the overwhelm.
ing Democratic victory there, has fright
ened the Radicals terribly and they
seem to see in it the hand writing upon
the wall. SUMNER and his friends have
the impudence to attempt to break the
force Of the victory by declaring that
his disgrace by the Senate was the cause
of it! Preposterous impudence, truly !!
Why such effect? The New Hamp-
shire Senators both sustained SUMNER
and both opposed San Domingo-both
We're on the stump and using all their
influence. Would it sustain SUMNER
to defeat them, his friends? Would
any man vote to defeat SUMNER candi.
dates in order to prove friendship for
him? If SO, it would be on the princi-
pie of interpreting Irish dreams, by
contraries.
But why set up this absurd theory
when the Radical party has been on the
decline for years? They succeeded at
the last Presidential election only by
the great military popularity and sup
posed non-partisan character of Gen.
GRANT, and by the gross blundering of
the Democratic National Convention.
Ever since that time their downward
course has been more rapid than ever.
Every step they have taken since to re-
cover strength has disgusted people
more. Their tyranny, their oppres-
sion, their corruption, their extrava-
gance, their incompetency, their debase

The King and his Ministers.

Just now there is a terrible uproar
over the circumstance of the "Govern-
ment" having dismissed one of its Min
listers, in the person of Charley Sumner.
We don't see any reason, or necessity,
for all this. Sumner without doubt, is
grieved by the slight put upon him ,and
his friends in aspirit revenge are how
ling at the King with might and main.
Neither Charley nor his partisans have
any cause for complaint. Did not the
senate and House, the Departments,
and the whole Radical party, invest old
Abe with virtual kingly powers, and
did they not contend against the whole
Democratic party that he was the "Gov-
ernment?" To be sure they did. 1t is
true however that when Andrew John
son succeeded his majesty the "Govern-
ment," that they attempted change
of base, and did in a measure succeed.
But when his day was past, and the
illustrious tanner of hides elected, did
not the "Governmen" take up its resi-
dence in the new incumbent? Most
certainly it did and its movements and
views are by no means matter for com
mon criticism-that is if Radical logic
be correct. No man was stronger in the
support of Lincoln than Charley Sum-
ner, and no man of the whole infamous
herd went further to destroy personal
liberty, and to impose upon the people
an autocracy then he. And now that
Charley has taken issue with "the Gov
ernment," and opposes his illustrious
sovereign in his schemes for the aggran-
dizement of himself and family, the
Government" is certainly right-upon
Radical grounds, in dismissing him.
Nay, we think that Charley should be
grateful that he is not arrested and sent
Off to one of those comfortable bastiles,

Some of the Radical newspapers, such
as the Press, the Inquirer, and the
Erening Bulletin, in very bad taste in
deed, openly attack the Government"
and hint at a disruption of the Radical
party! But they don't mean it; they
know that the party will hold together
whilst there is shred of flesh left upon
the carcass of the Government" of
which they may expect share. Break
up the party indeed! Pretty talk for
loyal men whose duty, by their show
ing, is to support the government-no
matter what it may be, or do, or suffer.

The Platform of Radical Imperialism.

The legislation of the party in power
during the last five years, afford a fair
index to the views and purposes of the
men who mould its policy and control
its organization. The acts of the ma
tional Congress and the manner in
which those acts have been enforced by
the executive, furnish forth the plat
form on which the mis.called "Repub-
lican" party must stand in the coming
Presidential campaign of 1872. The
varnsh to be laid upon this platform
by artfully drawn resolutions of NOM
mating conventions cannot gloss it over
so as to conceal the rotten planks of
which it is constructed. 1t is built
from the decayed timbers of the Euro.
pean system, and its foundation is a
mosaic of the deceit of Napoleon, the
greed of Bismarck and the absolutism
| of Alexander II.
/. The party in power has given the
central government unlimited control
of the financial affairs of the country.
The Secretary of the Treasury possesses
an electric battery which at single
touch of his hand may shock the whole
country into financial panic. His de-
partment has been made the centre of
the monetary system shroughout the
length and breadth Of the lanl.
2. That party has wrested from the
States and the people the power to
| t1nf IN nl ~ n nr nI
| it upon the central or federal authority.
8. 1t has subjected States and districts
to military rule in times of profound
peace.
4. 1t has established a large standin 6
army, which is now used mainly by the
federal administration in the suppress
ion of free elections.
5. 1t has fastened upon the people a
system of internal taxation which au-
thorizes the federal administration to
pry into the private business of every
citizen through the agency of hordes OF
useless officials paid out of the national
treasury.
6. 1t has brought the federal govern.
ment into conflict with the States, in
granting charters to corporations, and
has rendered so powerful the corpora.
tions which it has thus created, by sub.
sides in lands and moneys, as to enable
them to override and trample out those
created by the States.
7. 1t has established tariff which
enables the federal power to subsidizt
local and special interests at the eX
pense of large majority of the peo
pie.
s. 1t has attempted to place the con
troll of the railroads and the telegraphi
Of the country in the hands of the fed
eral government.
0. 1t has proposed to rob the State
and the people of the power to regulate
their schools, and to vest it in the fed
eral authority.
Such are some of the materials o
which the platform of the imperialist
is composed. 1t is thoroughly un

of the day. Clayton, of Arkansas, has

Nebraska, has been impeached for
bribery and general corrupt practices,

Terrible Ku.kluX Outrage in Mnssachu
of

SettS.
Oar telegraphic dispatches this morn
ing contain an account of a most hor-
rible outrage perpetrated almost in the
very heart of Puritan civilization-the
home of BEN. BUTLER. That such
events should happen any,chere is
enough to cast stigma ofdisgrace upon
mankind; but that in Massachusetts,
in LoaceN, the Representative from
which district is now busy in preparing
to suppress violations of law and order
in the South by the strength Of military
law, outrages so inhuman should find a
resting place, is the certain evidence of
humanity's dissolution. Would it not
be well for General BUTLER and his
party associates to turn their attention
to the repression of actual crime in
New England, before proceeding fur
ther in the preparation of bill to sup
press m erely alleged outrages in the
South. - Washington Patriot.
