The Radical Slogan for the Com
ing Presidential Canvass.

the rallying cry of the Radical leaders i
the coming Presidential canvass
The outcry about coming war and
new rebellion is repeated, and in thi
connection list is given of the measure
which it is charged the incoming Demo
cratic congress will prepare the way for
| These are recited as follows:
First. Pensions for their confederate
| soldier constituents.
/ Second Payments of debts of the late
Southern confederate government owned
and held by their constituents.
Third Payment for slaves set free by
the proclamation of President Lincoln,
claimed by their constituents.
Fourth. Payment for seizures and de-
struction of property by the United
States troops in suppressing the rebel
lion.
Fifth. Reputation of the national
debt, in which their constituents have
and can have no possible pride or interest.
Sixth. Reorganization of all the South
ern States on such constitutional basis as
consists of legal Acknowledgement, now
by force, of the blacks.
These are questions which the Radical
managers will pretend are involved in
the Presidential election, and the charges
are to be rung loud and long upon them
% produce political reaction in the
Northern States. The St. Louis Repub-
lean states correctly that they embrace
POINTS upon which the public sentiment of
he North is most tender, and which may
therefore,, be most confidently trusted to
ouse the old feelings of sectional ami
loslty. Once convince the Northern
eople that any one of the counts in this
allotment is likely to be verified in case
lie Democratic party is Entrusted with
Re relns OF government, and oar Demo-
attic friends mag bid long and last fare
ell to their hopes of political success. But t
e Northern people are not fools, and L
amount of mere organ music can befoe n

Forewarned, forearmed. There is not h
syllable of truth in the charges. With tt
people Of the South, the questions of tt
war are dead. 1t is their interest IL
owe all others, that they should re- So
IN so. This feeling they should mani to
IN every way possible-through the pr
