course you have, as you could not afford
to lose SO rich treat. It's perusal af-
fords amusement to the Democrats, sor-
row to the Radicals and disgust and con-
tempt to all A better electioneering
document for Democrats could not be
put in circulation, as it shows of what
material the Radical party must be com
posed, to be compelled to send such a
thing to Congress. But Congress is not
what it ence was, a body Of enlightened
patriotic statesmen; now it is mob of
vile demagogues, prodigatc politicians
and ignorant scallawags.


Yes, the ex-clerk in the Confederate
Conscript office has enlightened the world
by "trooly loil' speech, delivered in
that Pandemonia of wickedness, imbecili-
ity, venality, crime and treason, the Con-
gress Of the dis United States The pet
Pig Of Arkansas Radicalism, the Ape Of
Northern Fanaticism, the Slanderer Of
Southern people, has for several years
been drinking at the Radical swill tub
and now that he has grown up to be a full
sized hog, he hopes to meet his masters
continued favor and show himself a
worthy Radical, by abusing the people
whom he m,srepresents and traduces
He certainly should be a favsrite of the
Radical party, as he possesses elasticity
of conscience, obliviousness of memory,
imbecility of mind and mendacity of ma
ture, Joined to the most vindictive NAL
ice, all essential to Southern Radical
In reading the harangue, for it cannot be
called a speech, one hardly knows whether
to feel pity, contempt or anger at the
puppet author.


We can laugh at the mschievous tricks
of a trained ape, as he acts under his mas
ters orders, but when he goes beyond his
training and exercises his innate wicked
ness and does mischief, we feel disposed
to box his ears.


1t is evident that Boles is a mere tool
in the hands of Radicals of more sense,
and we forgive him for obeying his mas
ters and doing what he says he knows is
wrong, but when he INDUCES in low vul
car abuse and malicious SANDERS against
those whom he should represent and de
fend, can feel nothing but loathing and
contempt for creature sunk so low in
the depths Of moral degradation.


Why did not his friends, if he has any,
prevent him from publishing himself to
the world as vindictive, malicious idiot,
as he has in his speech. All who knew
him as a Judge, knew he was an ignorant
creature, and they looked upon him as a
harmless imbccile, whose only aim was TO
get office and whose greatest crime was
in aspiring to positions which he was men,
tally incompetent to fill, But now he
adds the character of q malicious defamer.


The Hon. tom A tries to show many
defects, and no good parts, in the Virgin
ia Bill, but says he will vote for it, be-
cause the Republicans have agreed 10 do
so Now if he had spark Of manly feel
ing, or any sense of honesty, he would
not vote against his sense Of duty and
right He certainly is an unfortunate
man in being forced. He was forced to be
a Confederate sub. enrolling officer; he
was forced to take an oath to support
the Confederate Constitution; he was
forced to violate that oath, desert the
cause he had sworn to support and join a
company oflawless marauders now he is
forced to vote against his convictions of
right; again, he is forced, by the lash of
his masters, to indulge in low vulgar a.
buse against his constituents, that would
disgrace the lowest brawler of London
ish.market But this was necessary to
prove his loyalty. Had he shown high
sense Of right and a manly dignity, he
would have been kicked ont of the Radi.
cal party as unworthy of membership.
AS is usual with his tribe, his whole
speech was a tissue Of falschood and SLAM
der against men whose greatest disgrace
is being the constituents of such an un-
scrupulous and ignorant dcmagogue


He says there is not loyal man in the
South, who would not vote the Republi
can ticket if he knew which it was. If,
bv LOYAL men, he means Radicals, he un-
Willingly told the truth and should have
credit for it, as it is about the only one
that he did tell But the trouble is the
majority of his party are so ignorant>oi
all things pertaining to government, that
they can only tell the Radical party by
la.lg composed, principally OF negroes
and mean white men, and as they try to
go with that company they are sure to go
the Radical ticket,


He threatens to vote to put Virginia
under military rule, if she does not sup
port Radicalism or behave herselfa as Rad
icals think she ought. Have his masters
not told him, that they have AS much
right to put New York under military
rule as to put Virginia there2 Have
