This Radical organ knows how the
Badical party had its origin in avowed
dissatisfaction to the laws and to the
old Constitution of the country. It
knows that there is not an infidel
preacher in the North who is not a

proper respect either for religion or

anxious to launch the nation upon the
raging tide of revolution into an un

Radical organ knows well that the path
of Radicalism has been marked by

oppression from the beginning, and
