| From the Baltimore Gazette,
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
| purposes Of the Radicals in prOlOng-
] ing the present session OF Congress
are being developed, as long since lore
] shadOWed. Indeed, il now requires
/ very little political acumen, and no
/ specific Information at all to predict
! exactly what the rotten dominating
! organization will do in any given set
| of circumstance. The eXigencies Of
/ the party are extreme. The leaders
| lCdHt money, and their dUpes must be
/ tickled with a straw. Plunder and
! persecution are, therefore, alone in
VOked in these times. To cover up
| the former, it is quite sufficient TO re-
vamp stale, refuted and absurd stO-
ries OF "Outrages" at the South upon
the "lOyal" scallaWags, thieves and
vagabOnd5 who have been sOrely pes
tering and robbiug that people the
| best part Of a decade. The wis
est thing to be done, it is
thought here, as an antidOte
to the barefaced lies embodied
in the report Of Scott already
published, and those other reports he
may hereafter make, is Tor the Demo

with silent contempt, at least with
only broad and naked denuuciatiOn.
Ii will be quite useless to expose, in
detail, the glaring falsehOOds upon
which they are or shall be founded. I
l. il not enough that Holden, his son,
and his hired perjurers are the sole
authors and inventors Of all the facts |
upon which are prediCated the i8dict-
ment against North CarOlina2 Is it
even necessary for the two Demo
cratic members Of the committee to
continue meeting the packed con
clave appointed for the express puT
pose of maliguing the Southern peO-
ple2 Would it not be wiser, even in |
a party sense (seeing the utter futility
Of any attempt at fairness of inveSti- !
gatiOn), TO throw up all further i'm
piled agency in this nefariOus busi-
ness, at the same time dsuOuucing
the whole movement a. a snare and /
a cheat from beginning to end? What |
say you, Messrs. B8yard and Blair, 20 /
thus strengthening the hands of your
friends in the House?
Ii would seem that while the Presi-
dent has effectually driven a majority
of the Senate into a cOnnivance at his /
annexation schemes-such as the San |
Domingo jOb-he has not been un-
mindful OF those "Httle games" that |
fall within his uncontrolled province,
and which may therefore be regarded
as personal perquisitie5. Welt patient
ly, therefore, ye aspirauts for the hon
Ors Of our territorial House Of Peers, /
and walk up without blushing) 10 l
the captains office and gettle. The
bell has been ruug. Some greenhOrus |
have wondered at the delay. No
wonder. Ii had been announced that |
their lOrdships would be appointed as /
soon as the districts were designated |
by his EXCellenCy Governor Cooke, |
and his Honor Judge Cartier. ''S0me |
days have elapsed, and no decision /
yet made.' Say they
Cousin, you we're not wont to be 50 duh. /
A notable precedent is not wanted /
Though not exactly in point, it makes
no difference with the Radical factiOn) /
to show that people must expect to
pay for such high hOnOrs. James the
First of England, at the instance, it is /
said, Of Lord Bacon (''the Wise5t,
greatest, naeane5t Of maukindo), ere
ated, In 1910, number OF barOnets,
and, to replenish his treasury, boldly
sold the distinction to the highest
bidders. These barOnets differed from |
our prospective "HOuse Of Lords - /
only in this, that the former had no
political authority at all-the title be-
ing merely honorary; yet the lowest
price, we are told, that such high |
honor was knocked down at was EI.
100, equal TO, at least, the value Of
SO, 900 in our currency at this epoch.
Here is a sum in the rule Of three: /
calculate away!
Certain prophets were enabled 10
designate our Governor - etc, afOre-
hand, with an accuracy of figures truly
astounding. 1 have seen q slate Of
the House Of Peers, +" predicated upon
the immutable principles Of algebTafc
demonstration. 1t is strange what

From the preamble of the original

For why could il not be pleaded that

WAsHINGTON, March I6.-The pro
ceedings Of the House Of Representa-
lives Of yesterday afternoon created |
the widest excitement in Radical cir
cles last night. Ben Butler ran about
ike q mad dog, with the foam fairly
)ozing from his mouth. He at last
.Ound vent for his wrath in a long
TRADE, in which be snaps and bites at
every other dog. he took It to the

night, in which it saw the light this

.icatiOn is the most extraordinary Of
any ever issued by a public man. Il
