Hppnr<a^? our view* of the fuv
' tore of the Radical party.
JU| oar judgment, that future will be
^Hpe. In our two previous editorial*
v^rehave endeavored to show the pre
! carious condition of the people of the
North, with respect to the finances ; and
" their real poverty, from the losses of the
war. If our views are correct, time be
fore long must develop their truth. The
furor of the war must subside. The
laws of commerce, although hampered
or pushed aside by artificial contrivances,
must prevail. The drain of four

annually by tho taxation of the Qovern*
ment of the United States alone,
must soon tell upon the resources
of the country. The Government
ean give really no relief to any
distressed inteicst, but by taking
from acme to give to others. It makes
no capital, and it has none of itsolf ?
-What it has, it gets by taxation ; and
is, therefore, simply an exhauster?an
exhauster when it expends the taxes
itself?and an exhauster when, by prohibitory
taxes, it enables capitalists to
take money from the peoplo fur their
enrichment. By either expedient, the
people?the country?is made the pooror,
and no real relief is afforded for its
* recuperation. 8uch is the financial
condition of the United States. If we
? turn to its political condition, appearances
are equally threatening. The
Radicals had it in their power to have
perpetuated their rule by the mighty
and divine wisdom of charity. To allay
the passions of war?to bring forth
the amenities of pence?to gather together
and bring into activity, the wasted
and shattered resources of the country?to
inspire confidence?confidence

.. n.vii iuo^ iiinugMTHifn una cameo on
the war?would have saved the fitian
ce??saved the Constitution and the
Union?and made their ascendency indisputable,
But the demon of hate
ruled their policy. They openly proclaim,
that the war is not ended ;?and
that it is only changed from the sword
to the statute book ; and to carry on this
war successfully against the South, they
turn it against the Constitution, and all
the other departments of the Government.
Not only the existence of the
Southern States?but tho exigence of
the Executive and the Judiciary of the
United States, is to be overthrown.?
The Southern States are to perish beneath
tho ruins of liberty on ibis continent.
Suppose the Radicals prevail in their
flagitious policy ? Does any man believe
that it can he permanent ? Will
thirty millions of people acquie-ce, w ithout
a struggle, in a despotism, more
terrible and remorseless than that of tire
Caesars over Rome! Tho fate of the
Terrorists in France, and of the Puri*
tans in England, show their inevitable
doom. It may bo laid down as certain,
thnt despotism will concentrate
into one band, and one bead. The
Crcsars were the natural fruit of despotism
in Rome; Cromwell of the Puritan
despotism of Parliament in England ;
flrwl N Jtrtnlonn r\f rloe rmlienv ll?A
French Convention. The idea of a porpotual
despotism in a representative
body like the Congress of the United
States, is an absurdity which all history
rebukes. Congress will have a nias
ter?a Marat, a Dnnton or a Robespierre,
or finally, a Napoleon. Defeat
and ruin, therefore, is certain to tho
Radicals in the-path they arc treading.
They may do immense mischief; they
may convulse the country in blood, and
spread ruin over the land, but their fate
it certain. Unless human nature is
changed, and all history is false, they
must bo overthrown.

Chancellor Johnson holds affirmatively.
There are other points of interest in the
enfife. An appeal h?s l--en token, and the
result may be looked for probably in May

Another case heard and decided is likewise
full of interest. The surety on a sealed

excel in lecturing.
The musical treat was very delightful,
nod it would occupy a column to do half
justice to the perfoimers. Greenville
abounds in musical talent And skill.
The Phaf lasmagorical views were exceeding
entertaining, in fact, everything
went o(T finely, and much to the sntisfnc

of a few unmannerly hoys, whose parents
ought to find them out nnd give them a
good switching. The disturbance was j
started by one or two, but before the

her w ore engaged in creating a disturbance,
on tho principle, we suppose, that one fool
inaxes many.
It there were any of them of age, or sense
enough to reflect, they ought to be told
that there has never been known any man
of high and pure character, who, as a boy,
exhibited the pitiful foolery of insulting
ladies nnd gentlemen by persistent buffooney

had the power to do so in a crowd, without

Peac* hath h?r victories no loss than war,
is an admired expression, and a hoi/ inspiring
one; and private life has its triumphs
as well as publio life, and it has often
happened that those who least sought
for honor and extended reputation, have
beoome exalted from their very humility
and true merit. It Is refreshing to meet
with just and lively pictures of the lovely
flowers of characters, which have blushed
unseen, as themselves supposed, and have
lived unconscious of the charm they were
exerting upon follow'morUls, end the swoet
end holy iufluence of the good name they
were to leave behind tbem when transplanted
in the land of the blessed. If virtue
is its own reward, much move Is true religion,aud
it needs not the breath of praise or
present, or the hope of posthumous renown,
to stimulate ils efforts in doing good. The
truly pious and conscientious wilt follow in
the path of duty, whether it leads through
happy fields, gay with flowers, en-iched
with fruits, and snlivened by gladsome
song*, or whethor it lead througlf lonely
and dismal barren landa Through good
report and ovil report, the real lovers of
truth, aDd Ood's truth, will press on ; yet
such is the goodness of the Most Uigh, that
He has associated with mortal goodness
the promises of the life that now is, and the
life that is to come. And generations may
rise up and call it blessed, though often despised
for a time.
Most persons who may read Iho notice of
Mrs. Roasters, will remember f R. F.* as

Aid for the Fire Comptny
The undersigned have been appointed a

with commendable care for the public good?
and safety of property, purchased, at con.
siderable expense, n superior fire engin i
and apparatus, and.placed the same in the
hands of a Company organized for that pur.
pose. It is desired, hy tlnise engaged in
it. to make the Company not only efficient
and useful, hut creditable in appearance;
and, ns a first step thereto, it has been decidod
to have a uniform, not (or mere show,
hut that the members may be known and
designated on occasions of fire and parade.
Tho uniform?a red flannel shirt, a fire cap
and dark pantaioons--issimpreand economi
cal, yet there are some who are unable to
pay the sum required to get it. Every
member who can. is expected to provide
himself with a uniform; but apprentices,;
and others without an income, and seme
married men who have families to support
on oina'i wages, are the oii?j it is proposed
to assist.
Citizens,'not. members of the Company
consider that the tircinen lose time, (which
is money; in attending meetings, parades,
Ac., and io doing iatigue fdnty with the
engine, not for their benefit alone, but
yours also. Then come forward and encourage
them by aiding those who are
worthy, but neody.
Subscription lists may be found at the

each mouther of the Committee, who will

they have little or no corn, no money, can't

Impartial Suffrage.
If Boston should demand of Ti<ur?
ell, or New York of Albany, or Charles
ton of Columbia, tbo right' to decide
who should exercise the elective franchise
within the limits of their respec*
tive corporations, it would be no more
than Congress now demands on the
part of the United States'of every
State in tbo Union. As there are lo*
cal interests in Lowell, in Albany and
in Columbia, of which the other cities
can have no knowledge, and for which
feel no concern, it is certain that if
votes were cast in one- city to decide <
tbe internal policy of another, all proprietary
rights would soon come to be
regarded as uncertain as tbe tenure
to real estate to which no title could
be given. ?
But Congress, wo ere told, claims
the right to legislate upon generat suffrage
because all the Slates are under
the stme Constitution. So are New
York and Albany. But is that a reason
why New York should have a
voice in the internal policy of Albany}
Neither has Massachusetts a
right to vote upon the internal policy
of South Carolina. The Constitution
is perfectly plain upon many of tha i
features of State policy which are absolutely
under the control of the StateNot
one of these is more clearly set
forth than the control of tbe elective
franchise. It will he a terrible prece*
dent to aatfthlmh. th*l nf r\na St.i? .1 -
ciding through ihe General Government
who shall vote in another Slate
upon every matter of exclusively State .
policy. Such a precedent may some
day re-act with swift destruction upon
those very Stales which uow clamor '
Tor such rights. .
It is a mistaken notion, that because
the right to secede has been
abandoned forever, therefore all linee
of demarkalion between State and Fed*
eial policy under the Constitution, are
also forever obliterated. This cannot
be done without another revolution,
not one inaugurated by the South, but
by the Democrats of the North who
have not lost all respect for a Republican
Government bounded by constitutional
restrictions.
