STRONGLY. when sails are set in this
41ashion to icatoh it's breezes. Is the
rcyoioe' of the country making itself
haard at last? Radioalism, which, for
':the most part, has run in one great
dicty oha7nel. is now about to divide
1tseff into two streams, of which one
xromises to- be much cleaner and
>.slearer. than the other. There are per-
SONS in the Republican party who
have the discernment to perceive the
':ouin which its excesses have brought
'-apoa hhe country and particularly
upon the South, aud they are not
>szaniin8 in the courage which demands
that that perseouted section shall have

i;An~nntiang Speech recently delivered
by Mr.. Eaton, the newly elected Sena-

That it is not sufficient answer to his

Eaton for calling attention to the siitua-

t1.o he heard, and that the cause he
pleads shall be judged upon its merits.
The article is altogethep 30 remarkable
