We know that 4 isthe policy cf tn
administration to make light Of thi.
liberal movement; but after while
when these same friends who now cluster
around the feet Of their master, see the
"sccpter departing from Judah and
witness the might and majesty Of u,
pcop,e; they will fall into line and take
up the battle-cry Of ''libernlsm' as lust
ily as the most enthusiastic friend Of tho
movement"
We know furthermore, that il Is
charged upon the Liberals that they arc
all (at least the leaders, disaffected and
disappointed politicians who have not
received the patronage and pay-the
offices Of "honor, trust, and profit.
from the appointing power. II is said
by thenf that "schurz, Clay, Brown,
Trumbull, etc, etc, would have been
fast friends of Gen. Grant, had he seen
proper to give them FIT positions in for
eign lands" The charge is false.
These men ri,e above such miscr-
able partisanism and price and those
who road their speeches, made in eSposi-
ton Of the corrup,ions Of Grant and his
administration, will see that no such sor-
lid aad sclfi.h motives could ever inha-
ence such men as these. True, they are
among the gallant leaders Of the Liberal
Republicans; but SO is Charles Francis
Adams, a man above reproach, and who

his ancestry.
An pastios, whether new or old, must
have leaders; and this ''new party we
are sure, win never have just cause to be
ashamed Of her leaders, knowing, as all

feayfuf ruin of fhe late civil war, at a
time when strong men feared to express
an honest sentiment; Charles Francis
Adams, the "worthy son Of noble sire
visited the oppressed and down-trodden
people Of the South, at their own special
request, and at Charleston, South Caro-
lima, gave them, in public address,
words of comfort and of hope, in which
he assured them that the day was not far
of, when this liberal movement" would
boz made, and in which their countrymen
in the North and West would unite their
efforts. with the people Of the South, to
restore our country to its past glory and
renown! - sr 900 g. 81. .sl. J
That day has come. The words of
Mr.. Adams sound like prophecy The
ranks of Radicalism are being greatly
thinned, by accessions, every day, to the
Liberal" party. r..
The people Of our country everywhere,
are tired of this oppression. They have
fully determined to throw off the incubus
which keeps us in the downward path of
progress.
We do not now undertake to say or
even indicate the policy which the Dem
ocraey should pursue; but We do now
venture to assert that our glorious old
