triot, in whose breast the love Of
country rose superior to mere party
or selfish purposes. But the times
have changed. Old parties pass
new ones arise. New
men spring up, and q new
order Of things ushers into
existence. Turning from the past,
how stand the political parties Of to-
day? With the demise Of the Wing
party, the Democratic party gathered
into its embrace all the finer and purer
materials OF that glorious old organ
izatiOn; so that the Democratic party
of to-day, excepting an occasional
fungus growth, is as pure, unselfsh,
and devoted to principle, as when in
earlier manhood it was confronted at
every point and contested in every
inch by a foeman worthy Of its steel.
But what of its adversary Of tO-day2
In what view of the case can it claim
the respect Of its opponents? Pro-
Tossing a set Of principles false to the
precepts and teachings of the country;
corrupt, debasing and pernicious in
all its instincts, it can never command
the respect OF the people. The Radi-
Gals have driven the white taxpayers
from the polls and enfranchised the
negro. They have put the necks Of
the people under the heel of military
despotism. Theyare labOring to force
social equality between the races.
They regard the Constitution as arope
of sand, and are estabIishin acentral-
lied despotism on the ruins Of a re-
public. They are led by such men as
Brownlow, and Holden, and Butler,
and Bowen. They have stolen the
school fund, hung an innocent woman,
been guilty Of every atrOcity in their
wicked prosecutions and robbery Of
the people; and if the future existence
of the Radical party depends upon
the respect which the Democrats al
ways extended toward the old Wing
party, the Radical organization will
continue to exist, for the Democratic
party, North and South, will ever de-
spise the creatures that have plum
dered and prosecuted them.

TIE United States Supreme Court,
iu the case Of the Merchants Bank Of
Boston VS.. the State National Bank,
has lately rendered a decision iuvoIv.
I'm 5000 O0 on the question whether a
bank is obliged TO make good checks
certified by its cashier. Justice
SwRyne delivered the opinion, Judges
Clifford and Davis dissenting. The
court held that the certifcaton Of a
check by a bank was equivalent to ac-
ceptance, and an undertaking that il
shall remain good. The power con-
serred on the cashier invests him with
the same authority to certify a check
AS be has to receive money Of a de-
position, as a power inherent in his
office. The cashier is the executivs
officer Of the bank, and conducts all
its financial operations, and persons
dealing with the bank have a right to
rely upon the integrity Of its officers
when acting within the apparent
sphere of their duties, and the bank il
bound accordingly"

OF the many obnoxious and uncon-
st~itutional measures which the pres
ent Radical Congress has proposed, it
is difficult to decide which is the most
infamous, but the provisions of a bill
establishing a Bureau Of Education
are absolutely startling. They pro-
pose to interfere in matters which
alone concern q mans own house
hold, and that of the most tender re-
latiOns. The passage Of such a bill is
another step to ~centralism, and the
next will be to legisIate as to
what books school children shall use;
and of course these books will be
filed with hideOus pictures, repre-
senting rebels hanging loyal men Of
the South. Unless a stop be put to
these UsurpatiOns, Congress will ad-
vance step by step until every social
relation shall be regulated by the cen
traI power at Washington. In criti-
cising Mr., Hoar's bill, to establish a
Bureau of Education, the Wash

won a national reputation for states
manship and ability, and his col
league, Hon. Michael c. Kerr, is rap
idly making fame. He is now re-
parded as one Of the most formidable
debaters in the House. Upon all the
great political questions his views are
emphatic and eminently sound. In
discussing the bill proposing TO estab-
.ush The Bureau Of Education, Mr..
Kerr said:

adopted by the Republican party,

Justify interference i'm the marriage
