article affords, that the World is no safe
political guide or teacher at this time.—
If the errors in this article as to our
antecedents were intentional, then the
author of them is unfit to be such a guide
from want of principle and integrity.
If they were not intentional, then they
exhibit such ignorance of public events,
and the actors in them for the last twenty
years, as utterly disqualifies any one who
as he says “build upon them ; and to make
them the foundation of all our future policy”
&c. If that is not Radicalism pray let us
know what Radicalism is ? Does Senator
Morton ask for anything more? TheTTorW
and the Conner-Journal seem to think or
try to make the people believe that we
are playing into Senator Morton’s hand.
But do telfus, gentlemen, what more
than this, has Senator Morton ever asked,
or Greeley or Butler or any Radical, or
what more could they ask for a complete
Radicalization of the country.
In these views of the Courier-Journal so
expressed, we see openly avowed what we
have all along believed to be the pur
pose and intention of the World, and
all the advocates of the “new depar
ture.” The “kernel” of the whole thing
is to commit the entire Democratic party,
horse, foot and dragoon, to the Radical
principles of centralization by which the
present usurpers, who bear sway at
Washington, set out in their bold at
tempt to overthrow the Constitution and
with it the liberties of this country.
The Courier-Journal in this instanoe
has only spoken ont what we understand
to be the unnannounced aims and policy
of the whole clique of * ‘ New Departurists”
in the Democratic party. Some of them
are not quite so out-spoken as yet. They
are a little more cautious. The teachings
of all, however, lead to the same result.
As, for instance, the late long article of the
Montgomery Advertiser, setting forth in
studied words what the “NewDepart
ure” means. Our readers will recollect
how quickly our Radical neighbor of the
New Em jumped at it, and said, in effect,
that that was just what he wanted.
TTT This brings us to another one of
our cotemporaries, embraced in the
squad referred to at the head of this ar
dered against it at the polls in the elec- j
tion of Mr. Jefferson, who held it to be i
“unconstitutional, null and void”—just as
all like usurpations should meet their |
doom and “expire,” in a similar euthana
sia for all time to come.
I expect to send more names soon.
