The Ratiieal Lambs.

~ q ~
The. lambs OF Radicalism are enragcd at
the idea Of what they call the Oregon fraud.
Their virtue is SO highly indignant that
stranger would suppose that they were the
unrest people on earth. What hypocrites,
strainne at a gnat and swallowing . whole
carayanserai OF camels. In the case OF Ore
gon, however fraudulent It may be, there
sae the most q reversal Of the popular vote
for one presidential elector, the vote
amounting to d little over one thousand,
while GRANT and, his villains have reversed
the votes OF three whole States, involving
,siaeteeY. presidential electors, and the votes
for electors SO reversed were irom one to
ten thousand each . -.
The lambs--the ,aoatoas enragks-must
be plagued by what little conscientio
that remains In their hearts, and are there
fore endeavoring to gather all possible con.
ISOLATION from the Oregon affair, which by
the light Of the monstrous Radical frauds,
heaped up mountain high, appears abso-
sutely contemplate. The poor Democrats
are like the ass in the fable who was con-
demned by the king Of the forest to be torn
in pieces for nibbling q bit Of grass in an
unenclcsed field belonging to the parsonage.
However, there is another view to be
taken Of this tempest Of Radical wrath, and
that is that Oregon gives them trouble
trouble now and trouble to come--how
much OF it they cannot exactly ioretell.
They would get rid Of this Oregon spectre
by '.cussing". it. Like MACBETH, they
would get rid OF it by ordering it off
ttAvaunt! Quit my sight! Thou
"hast no speculation in those eyes which
"thou dost glare with - But it will not
! quit their sight. They may glare, but it
will glare back! i.
Oregon has come, like BANoUo, to mock
the murderers, and, like BASouo, will shove
them from their stools. She will serve q
good purpose in due time, and SO far from
7 outraging right and custom, she will bring
ttbloody Instructions" to "plague the In.
Tentors." She will more than probably be
the shield to protect the right and the law
from outrageous infringement.
Mr.. O'CoSoR, in his remarkable letter,
said: CT do not consider opinions Of a u'
!. "dicial nature concerning the law or the
tsConstitution OF any consequence" He
spoke in view Of the utter disregard OF boil
aw and Constitution in the conduct and
policy OF the Federal Administration. He
said what he was warranted in saying. II
the bold and intrepid act OF Governor
GROVER may afford some help towards the
effort that the Democratic party IS now
making to reestablish both Constitution and
law it will serve a good turn, and then end
1t is very encouraging feature Of the times
that the Radicals are affectedly indignant al
Governor Growers act. They are in this
way brought to denounce what they regard
violation of law and republican rights,
and thus to cover themselves with their own
denunciations for their enormous outrages.
If they unyeilpoor little Oregon, they with
the same hand tear away the filthy covering
with which they have undertaken to hide
the hideous beasts which they have made in
Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina.
The wolves in sheep-skins are very shall
low counterfeiters. :.:... .
