as il were. suspended by single thread 10 be
severed at blow Here is where diplomacy steps :.
IN and saves OF kills thousands and sometimes !,
Wins or loses empires. Diplomacy, the very eli
max of sta,esmanshir, it will bs remembered was
secuted and set at defiance 10y the miserable n
sLams that succeeded MIR Buchanans admins
traton No such bluudcr was committed In {
Europc for a century. These Radicals seemed to
forget that they were put in power to SAFE anu '
not to DESTROY they took the government ana .
it became their charge. They hhughtily assumed
10 control ii and scoied at aud secuted all con-
servalive interference; notw iihsanding the States
and the Republic from the earliest colonial times
were the work 0. conservative hands aud COM
promising principles. The Radicals laid hold OF
1t with an iron hand and determined to lead by
blood letting that was 2lck Chambers ex-
preston, ian expression that should carry his
name to eternal intamy and shame, and will yet
do sol That party rsked the lives and fortunes
OF millions of Americans rather ttan lesort 10
diplomacy with Americans as good as they. but
they knuckled down before the British Lion, the |
very moment ITS gIoWl was heard. Well, they |
succeeded in getting at the work Of blood.iet- |
ling-thcy followed 1t for four years, and then |
tired diplomacy. Nj Government went so far as
10 20 hundred miles from Washington 10 hold |
n lalk not with 'rebela but with the "Secretary
of State OF the Confederate States" and promised
everything if the men at war would submit to
the Government. But then they had grown Tired
Of murder and had expended all the money the
nation could ralse-then they resorted to dplo-
macy-then they were willing to admit that
Amencan lives were as COED as English lives; and
I d.,
But what did tins party then commence to do
Its emissaries and villiaus under tie instruction
OF its leaders commenced to war upon and des-
troy families, rob and beegar widows and or
uhans and 10 destroy states that it had taken
century to build up TO point OF morality and
trugality never in any ether land. And
they have been at this work of destroying States
icr the las. leu years
We have before Us sn Administration paper
from Mississippi, one Of the States that has been
ruined by the Radical party leaders and their ne
gro allies. This paper contains no less than sew
Tn different advertisements proclaiming by Gov
ernor AmeS rewards for the arrest OF thieves,
IebbeIs or murdcrers, and whole columns OF
names of persons whose property is up Tor sale
Tor taxes. In fact about half Of all the adyer-
usements thepaper contains are Of this charac-
ter This paper is printed at Jackson. Mss- for.
lne1ly one of the most nourishing towns, in the
Souih and in one of the richest sections
We also copy from it article referring to the
decision by the Court in which it appears thai
The law establishing fees ard salaries was fraud
So ignorant are tue negro legislators that thel
suffered The law TO he fixed up to suit those VIII
wanted heavy salaries and high fees and the bill
,oV iep he'd nm aft
legislature had adj djourned. This has been one O
the processes 10y which the people have bee
feeced, If the people of Delaware trust th
Radicals with their State Legislature, after a
that they have seen done in the South, who WI
.ay they will not deserve 10 suffer. 1t is useles
20 saw that these acts were the works Of the NJ
groes The negroes were the instruments
white and black Radicals. We wish our peop
could see what has been dole in that once gre
and prosperous countyy that is now going to ru
through the work of Radical Legislators;

Not Law
1t will be observed, upon perusnl of our y
nreme Court Report, in another column, that Il
Supreme Judges have taken the Fee and SaIa
huil boldly by the horns, and Lad a severe stru
Ole with it, in which the legal bovine, whi
las for many months given the State mu

the Fees and Salary bill has been decided ma
bona void, and of effect in law. The charp
made In these columns, that the bill, as sign

Amendments and changes were found IN
