MERCHANTS WHO DESIRE TO REACH FAMILIES WILL FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. Our Political Troubles. The aphorism, “the least said, the soonest mended,” is, ns a general rulei very good aud very true ; and perhaps, therefore, an entire ignoruncc of the Radicals by the conservative press aud people of the whole country might drive them into that oblivion which they so justly deserve. But it is exceedingly difficult to see the head of the Nation) struggling to sustain the Constitution and to restore the Union in its integrity,, yet crushed down by enemies aud de feated in his most earnest efforts, and not raise a protest against the wickedness and folly of such opposition. And yet we are told by a Georgia coteraporary that denunciation of the Radicals only gives them strength—that we should bear uncomplainingly their misrepresen tations and insulks—that “we must be forgetful of injuries inflicted during the dark days of the war ’ —in short, that we must leave the Government in the hands of its enemies, and bear with meekness and patience the galling yoke of tyranny and oppression that is being prepared for us. Verily, this looks like child’s play. We say a naughty word about Congress, and that august body of (sup posed to be) enlightened statesmen and scholars, in order to spite us, deprives us of representation among them, or passes some bill which they know will be distasteful to us. That’s the gist of the argument. A wise state of alfairs truly —when the legislators of a country, forgetful of the dignity and decorum which should mark their public and private actions, stoop to play at spite with a portion of their countrymen. That is too absurd. We do not believe that the most abject submission on our part, the most degrading obeisance, would mollify them in the least, or change them from their settled hostility to the Con stitution and the voice of reason and justice. No! They are fixed in their policy. “Rule or Ruin” is their motto. and nothing but the stern protest of the Nation can turn them from it, or defeat their ignoble ends. Yet our cotempora ry tells us that the South did, at first, strive to “harmonize,” did “show a willingness to yield”—in fine, that “there could not have been a beginning more promising.” Well, whose fault is it if the promise did not hold good ? It cer tainly is the fault of those who meet the advances and concessions of the South with contumely', and scorn, and insult. It is the fault of those who insult the President and defeat all his wise purpos es and good intentions. It is not Andrew Johnson’s fault. It is not ours. But, forsooth ! We must, like Shyloek, exclaim: “And shall I say, ‘Good Sir Antonia, On such a day you called me Jewish dog ; On such a day you spat upon luy Jewish gaberdeea ; And for all these courtesies I'll lend thee So many ducate!’ ” Or thus : “Good sir Hadieals! You call us liars, traitors, murderers; You deprive us of all our Constitutional rights; And for all these courtesies we bless thy names and Offer thee our grateful homage.” Out upon such hypocrisy ! Out upon that “policy” aud “discreet selfishness” which would make us give the lie to every principle of honor and manhood. Thank Heaven 1 these we have not lost yet; and we sincerely trust that we never shall. These require of us submission to the authority which is over ns ; aud this submission we give cheerfully and faithfully, but it does not require us to lick the rod that smites us, or bless the lips that spont never ceasing venom upon us. It docs require us to yield a faithful obedience to the Consti tution and laws of the laud, and to the policy of the head of the Government. With tbis requirement we have faith fully complied ; but it does not require us to acknowledge that we are the black-hearted villains which our ene mies would paint ns. Then what is the course for us to' pursue ? It is, in our humble judgment, a faithful adherence to the oaths which ■we have taken ; a firm support of the Executive of the Nation; a cheerful obedience to the Constitution and laws of the land ; an earnest effort to develop and improve the resources of our sec tion, and particularly of our own State ; a determination to do justice to all classes ot' our citizens; the promotion of the cause of education, and the entire igno ring of the Revolutionary conclave which holds its orgies in the Capitol at Washington. It wo adopt this course we believe the “Sober second thought” of the Northern people will, ere long, cotne to the rescue, defeat the evil ma chiuations of the Nation’s enemies, and render triumphant the policy of the honored statesman who, “at the other end of the avenue,” is laboring to se cure the peace and perpetuity of the Union.
