If the Democratic party had put
Longstreet, Alderman and Mosoy
into Office, it would have been infa-
nous treason and a sure indication
that it is in favor of recognizing the
Southern Confederacy, re-enslaving
all the colored people and paying the
Southern war debt. But it is hu-
name, just and loyal for the Radicals
TO reward every red-handed and I'M
repentant rebel in the land. That
is the position of these third term
blatherskite editors, that are hired
to throw dirt into the eyes of the
people, to blind them against the
enormous corruptions and scoun-
drelism of the party in power.

Morton, the apostle of hate. has
been made what he thinks a great
speech in the Senate. 1t al be ca
silly described in a few words; the
e%ructaticns of a mind deceased, in a
body diseased, on a subject diseased,
before a people dying of these dis
eases. Mortonism, JEFF Davisism
and Grantism and negroism will
never hide from the people the
frauds, stealings, crimes, abomina-
tons of the Radical party. Blaine
and Morton are trying which can
smother Grant in theexcrement-nf
Grantism. That's the plain Saxon
English of the whole matter. Make
the best of it.

Let us have an income tax gradu-

If Ben HILL and the other exon
federates have not abandoned their
Secession ideas, as well as Mosby
and Longstreet, how. do they occupy
