Politic «!_•*«*«» «»»?-&> <ti*M«l Iatt> two
classes, one consisting of measure* Involving
principles, unJ the other questions ol expedi
ency- Measures Involving principles may tie
again subdivided into those which have passed
away with the occasion—ceased to have any
further operation, and those which are still a
■past of the existing law—oo the statute book, or
incorporated into the tundamental law. Now,
as to measures ot mere expediency, mistakes or
errors in legislation are not of such great Im
portance—not so dangerous to life and liberty as
measure* which are wrong in principle—which
not only violate right and Justice, hot strike at
the root ol social order and good government.
The turner are, oftentimes, the result ol hasty
legislation, or brought about by causes fleeting
in their character and easily removed. But
when the InuJaoxental principles ol a govern
ment are violated; when it is sought to revolu
tionize the existing order ol things, and erect a
new order ot things; when it is attempted to
break down all the barriers which a writ
ten constitution interposes to prevent the
exercise ol arbitrary and unlimited power;
when it is attempted to establish a central dca-
potfaa on-thermasoi a Constitutional Republic
ot Sovereign States, an entirely diflerent case is
presented, a great political crime is attempted ;
issues are made which most be met with the
mind and spirit ot iretmen. The Radical party
has done, is doing, these things. It has
trampled upon the Constitution, and is seeking
to maintain its power by changing the gov
ernment into a central despotism. This is the
..mighty issue they have torced upon the coon-
try, beginning wita the reconstruction acta and
ending with the entoreemeat acta, to be
crowned, perhaps, by the infamous measure
lately inaugurated 10 Congress, which proposes
to make President Grant virtually the dictator
of tins great country. Tnis issue has not been
made op by one measure, nor by two, but by o
•tries ol acts of kgislatioo which conslitut
the record ot Radicalism. Some ot them have
become delunct—worked out the moostroas
wrong intended, bat they should not, on that
account, he hid away, covered up, sot to bo
again spoken of. On the contrary, they shoal t
never be forgotten—they should be engraven
upon the minds sad hearts of the people as
damning press's ol the guilt ol a party which
wocki destroy tree government in order to per
petuate its- tyrannical rule. They are tbs
recorded acts of men which prove their char&c-
Ur, which show that they are unfit to be trusted
with power. They are links in the chain ot
testimony which make out against them the
deles a -ie crime ol attempting u> murder public
liberty. Few of the Southern peop.e are, iu
any degree, responsible lor the measures to
which we now refer. They were ooercivj
measures, !creed upon them by the bayoue .
There were patriotic men at the Sooth who
advised acquiescence in them, because, in their
opinion, they could do no better than to adopt
a passive policy. They te!t the outrage, bet
t-i-ey could see no good to come ot oppo
sition to it. But that condition of things
has now passed away; the hand ol military
power hss let lure*.- its grip, and then.-
who yielded invreun ary obedience to what
they could • not help, are free to speak
their sentiments, and choose their part in the
contest belore them. Some ot those who hi
oat with ihese views, and with honest intention
drifted into the eddy o! Radicalism. Bat it the /
have not eot oat ol its mo ldy waten, it U tint;
they had done so. They should prove the.r
patriotism hr alundooieg a party which it now
mak-cg a death struggle lor power, to be main
tained only at the sacrifice ot the liberties ol ti e
people.
Bat besides this class ol defunct measures
there are other usurpations which hate gone
into the text ol the Constitution, and are no w
ol force as '.awi One ol them, known a* the
fifteen 1 h amendment, is the plague spit on the
lace ot the great charter of American treedom.
This is the fraitfo; source cl our greatest woe,
the authority claimed tor that inUmous brood
ol laws wb'ch are intend*! to enslave the peo
ple by destroying the treedom ol the ballot, an i
placing the country under martial law at the
wi.l ot the President. Tt-is wemg, this usurpa
tion, ran nevtr be sanctioned by one who stands
open the principles oi the Democratic party
The wound it ius infl cted upon constitutions 1
liberty m-y not tie cured lor years to come, but
it, and the legislation based upon it, cannot co
exist with the Government which our anceato s
establti-.bed, and witiioa: which we woald have
no guaranty l--r the right* ot the Stales, or the
liberty ot the citizens. It it cannot be stricktn
from the Constitution, let it be condemned as
the • fl-prieg • I-usurped power, and the Govern
ment p seed in the hands ol men who wi.l
pluck out its poisonous s ing by repealing the
legislation widen is c.aimed to be authorized by
it,and necta-ary to enforce it, but which really
has another ot ject in view, the ctnlra izstion ol
all the power- ot the system in the general gov
ernment, as a mesne ot perpetuating the ruling
dynasty.

suspect, la the invention of some person who Is
fond of a practical loke. The Constitutionalist,

When night closed upon the grand seen-,

The carnage ot the day w is reported to have

petitioners; made the State responsible for

have not .done: They have not reduced tbe

What a TvpooRArutCAL Blundbr did puh
Mra StursvN —The'New York correspondent
ot the Cinduualtl Times, writes:
A tew evenings since a reception was given
at Hie house ol a well-known merchant in Lex
ington Avenue, and as a natural result one of
tbe so-called society weeklies undertook to
chronicle, in tho milimi-ry and manlua-maktr
style, the “distinguished” persous who were
present. Among others was Mra. Wm. Simp
son, wbo was described as unusually charming
with orange-blwAoms in her hair, decollete
dress and long trail.
When the account appeared it read in this
wise: “Mr. Wm. btmpiun appeared unusually
charming with an orange-box on his head, a
discolored eye, and in bis shirt-tail.”
Now, there is something about such a cos
tume that does not savor ol good society ; an i
it was difficult to make anyaody believe that
whatever Mr. Simpson’s vagaries, be would
have seen tit to attend an eveuiug party with
an orange-box on his head and nothing but a
shirt on his back.
As may be supposed Simpson was angry and
hostile, and called at the office of the paper to
know what such a shamclui discretion meaul.
The editor explained that it w as a typographi
cal error, wliereupou Simpson suggested the
propriety of bunging the printer who made it
in Iron! of tbe office as a warning to all care
less compositors.
Tbe printer was discharged, of course, but
with the love ot humor characteristic ol tee
emit, I am sure hewuuld not have foregone the
pleasure ot perpetrating such a good joke lor a
dozen situations.
