The Executive Council have given particu-

New YORK, April 2l.-Much argu-

many were the surmises as to whether
the Court would proceed with the Nc

the counsel, with the exception of Mr..

the general opinion was that the case

The Democratic press may, in truth,
allege that the most interesting living
issue of the present day is Radical cor
ruption, which reigns supreme from the
very highest to the very lowest Radical

others pale their ineffeceual fires. Out
of this springs much of the evil which
has spread desolation and misery over
thousands of households all over the

the very lowest dregs detailed to do the

In using this term we are justified, be-
cause the acts of the leaders are those
which become the acts Of the party; at
the same time, we would not be under

DANIEL WEBSTER was something of a
prophet. He had political wisdom if
not inspiration. In speech at Wash

the power in their hands, they will over
ride the Constitution, set the Supreme
Court at defiance, change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay violent
hands on those who differ from them in
their opinions, or dare question their
infallibility, and finally bankrupt the
country, and deluge it with blood. We
