Secession and Radicalism.
A Striking Parallel by the Hon. Ben. Hill,
OF Georgia.


From the Vicksburg Herald
The Hon. Ben. Hill, in our judg-
ment, the ablest living man in the
South today, made a speech at
Atlanta recently, in the course OF
which he drew a brilliant and'|
striking parallel between Seces-
sion and Radicalism. His ar
raignment of the latter is equal to-
and will remind the reader of Ed
mund Burke's celebrated arraign-
ment Of Warren Hastings. 1t is
brief, but will richly repay peru
sal:
Secession was a mistake-a ter
rible mistake; but secession
was no crime. It violated no
oaths; it trampled upon no indi-
vidual right it dispersed no Leg.
islatures; it throtled no State; it
sought to shed no blood; it burned
no cities; it invaded no homes
Radicalism is no mistake. 1t is
deliberate, intentional, wicked,
ever-increasing crime [applause;]
it has trampled upon ten thousand
oaths to support the constitution.
It. efed the Union as a fact that
it might destroy the Union as q
principle; under the pretense Of
reconstructing the States it has
destroyed the States. It hat
sworn to support the constitution

chained liberty to the car Of ty

sovereignty of the States; it is
