Democratic POLITICIANS and editors seem
to take aagreat pleasure in lalluding in a
sneering way to the Republican party, and
to individual Republ leans as I" Radicals"
They seem to think this a very opprobri-
Gus epithet, which they are at liberty to
bestow, upon their political opponents.
We aohiot eeniplailts ct This, but are will
ing to be called anything except modern
Democrat. If we wished to retort by call
ing NAMES In return, we could talk about
the Rebel Democracy,n which. is. GER

think of thestwo we prefer the latter. But
cal4ipg nanles is A Inastime engaged i'm
onty ~ ehiidreAA! and, having passed bei
yond that time Of life, we prefer to meet
and refute the positions taken by our OPP
penents by argument rather than by the
application of epithets. II Democrats
prefer, to call US By name Of their own
making rather than by one we have as
sumed ,earselxssga and to which we believe
we have afiglits let them do tive have
no objection. we cannot express our abb
horrence for the principles and practices of
the modern Democratic party, the chief
element of which sympathized with the
late attempt to overthrow the government,
by applying to them any name, however
appropuous. They can assume for Them
selves any name they nchoose-naines do
not hide corruption. III they can find no
harder term to apply to us than "RadicaI.p
just let them call us by that name.

The Wheat Crops.

From our East Tennessee exchanges, we
take tAe following extracts IN relation g
the growing wheat crops {. 81
The RogersviIIe Jonr7,<E Of May I'm,
says: sAceounfs from very feliae1e sour
ces estimate that in Claiborne and Camp
bell counties the wheat crop is likely TO be
almost an entire failure.T some little COM
plant is heard from some localities in
Hawkins, but we think the crops here,
from what we can ascertain, Will be a fair
average, if no mishap oyertakes it between
this and harvest.
The Athens Post fof sAIay, 18th, says
All our information from McNfinn, Mon
roeSs Roane, Rhea, Meigs, Hamilton, Brad :
ley and Polk counties much
of the best and heaviest grain-growing re-
gion of East Tennessee, indicates aafaiiure
of the wheat crop. The adticess ffohf tile
Sequatchee country are also discouraging.
While we have hopethat the damage Is
not as general as apprehe nded and that
the present favorable weather VIII i'm
prove the prospect, we THINKS it safe To say
that, averaging the country named, net
more than a half crop, if SO much, will be
realized. = = .s.rIa'z d1Ul
From the Cleveland Banner of May 1Stll,
we take the following A gentleman fro n
North Georgia nforms rs that the wheat
crow Of, that section will almost he COM
plete failure. The crop in this section
promises but apoor return, and the heavy
rains of Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, of last week, viii, of course, be detri-
mental to its growth. Afhe farmers inform
us that the clover crop will also be a, fail
ure this season.. We are forced to admit
that the crop prospect looks very gloomy.
