Yet the Radicals still put their trust in these
dead issues. Long after their falSity has been
proven before the civilized world, they still de
clare that the southern people are only re-

arm of military power, and that the return of
the negroes to slavery is an event which only
depends upon the power of the people when
relieved from Federal restraint.
The more manifestly false these libeiouS
