not surprising intelligence that many
Of the Radical members of Congress
are going around to the Presidents
view of the Louisiana difficulty and
are proposing to support and recog-
nize the Kellogg Government at all
hazards. This is in accordance with
the nature Of the average Radical
politician. No matter how much his
better genius might at first thought
impel him to shrink from the perpe-
tration of gross outrages for party
advantages, and even i9cite him to
makeia faint and spasmodie display
Of political decency and sincere pat
riotism if only for shame's sake, yet
his habitually blind subseryiency to
the crack of the party lash and the
frown of the party leader, will always
bring him down from the loftiest
plane Of dignity and decency to the
abiect attitude Of a cringing syco-
phant and fawning cur at the feet of
the Presidential master Since this
always has been, and is always to be
the case with the satellites Of that
party, we rather admire that stolid
| indifference to shame and disregard
of patriotic honor which stimulated
the Portland Bulletin to shoulder
Grants Louisiana infamy from the
first and proclaim q full and unre-
served endorsement and support of
that unparalleled iniquity. If CON
sistency be a jewel always, then the
Bulletin is a gem Of the first water
in an iniquitous sort of way.
Yet though q Radical Congress
and custom house organ may shame
lessly support this bold usurpation
and gross outrage upon a sovereign
commonwealth, it is comforting to
know that the great masses Of the
nation are joining in one common
chorus Of dissent and disapproyal.-
The Legislatures of New York, New
Jersey, Deleware, Virginia, Ohio,
Indiana and other States have al
ready passed resolutions Of condem-
nation. Tilden, the popular new
Governor of the Empire State; Hen
bricks, the iron-hearted Executive of
Indiana, and Allen, the veteran Nes-
tor of Buckeye Democracy, have
joined in messages of seyerest CEN
sure; md indignation meetings have
been held in all the great cities Of
the Union, at which eloquent tongues
expressed gravest alarm ut this un-
warranted encroachment upon the
fundamental bulwarks of civil liber-
ty, and denounced the Administration
in blistering adjectives for its coun-
tenance and participancy in the out
rage, aa
This is as it should be. While u
few Of the Radical vampires like
Morton, Chandler, Williams and
Philips, are roveling in their revolt
ing crimes against Republican insti-
tutions, and attempting to force the
country into another scene of blood
shed and carnage, the great voice of
conservative patriotism is heard
above the hideous vampires croak,
and the angel Of peace and reconcil-
iation is settling to permanent rest
upon our national bulwa rks. 1t is q
source of profoundest pleasure to
know that the heart of the people,
both North and South, is so largely
on the side of reconcilement, union
and good government-that the love
Of liberty is not dead in the land,
and that this latest and grossest Of
Radical outrages cannot pass by un-
rebuked. fgnI .uoH
II would seem that tho B,lietia and
its masters would learn some lessons
Of prudence, if not of wisdom, by
these thunders of disapproval which
are reyerberating across tho oonti-
nent from every quarter, Will they
not be warned of tho fate which
must speedily overtake their infa-
nous career and destroy their power
for further eyil2 viii they not be-
ware, reflect and stopH AS sure as
there is justice ON the earth and q
ruling power for good in Heaven, SO
sure must their venomous hatred Of
tho South be crushed and their at
tempt to destroy civil liberty in our
land brought to an early termination,
Tho mass of tho people are neither
wicked at heart or fools by nature.--
They have q clear knowledge Of right
from wrong and by their recent CON
duct at the hallot-box have evincod o
determination to exercise that knowl-
edge for their country's good
We say again to the crushed,
bruised and bleeding people of the
South, keep up brave hearts, Re-
main patient, leol and true to your
selves and your country, "The
morning sun Of roconcilemont is al
ready above the horison--it displayed
| no first heama in Ootohor last. Then
