The "Outrage" Business
Radical newspapeii hhvo made a
deal of fuss over what they call the
outrages committed by the Southern
people upon the persons of the innocent
and lamb like carpet baggers. Among
other States in which these carryings
on are said to be particularly rampant,
is the State of Alabama, where all
sorts of terrible things are said to be
committed weekly and even daily.
Well, Congress, at its last sitting, ap
pointed whet it termed a "Southern
Outrage Committee," iv 110.0 bIISInCBB it
was to investigate these sFcalled out.
rages and make as much capital out of
them for the Radical party as it could.
On the 23.1 instant, this committee had
brnbre •it Hon. Itteusan Busmin,
United States District Judge of Alaba
ma, Who was appointed to his present
position by President I,lwcm.m. Judge
licsmin is a New York Radical and
has all along been a very strong party
man. Out of him the committee got
the following testimony :

of the people toward the general government

obnoxious they were, although there was a
deep seated rorucletion that they were not
equal and impartial.
There wee other testimony allowing that
the people of Alai/11111a render full obedience to
the law, and that there Is In that State ample

he lumber states that since 1865, when
he first assumed the duties of his

stance of where his administration of
his office or the laws of the country
was obstructed, and that was in the
case of the Republigin Auditor of iAe
State who disobeyed the injunction of
the court, (or which he was fined and
imprisoned.' Thee does not look as if
the people of Alabama are opposing
the laws or inciting insurrection and
strife against the government, or the
people going to live among them from
the north.
But we have still further evidence of
the peaceable disposition of the people
of Alabama in the following extract
from thr [Mil!" Stale Journal, the or•

two men.
Cameron for Vice President
It seems to be generally conceded
that (In %.NT is to be reumninited for
President in 1872 by the llmhcale. In
fact, they do not mention airy other
man. ULYSSES appears to have a
clear track, and we havn't the leant
doubt but that he will be entered for
the race by the Radical managers.
Really, the Vice Presidency seems
to be creating more interest among our
Radical friends than the Presidency.
Having made up their minds that
GRAIT is to be their candidate for the
latter office, they have dropped that
matter, and-are now looking anxiously
about them for a Vice-Presidential
candidate. This they are likely soon
to discover in the person of Stmox CAN•
raoN, who is thrusting himself for
ward with the intention of getting put
on for the second office in the Union.
It is rather a bold move on Siktrg's
part, too, for never before tas he yen
tured to place himself where he would
stand the chance of a rejection by the
people. All Csecaox's points have
been made through the State Legis
lature, when his gold opened to him
the gates of preferment and placed him
higher up on the list of than better men,
who, for the lack of his means, were
forced to be content with humbler po
sitions. CANCRON, all through his pn
litical life, seems to have had a con
ciousness that he could not succeed
before the people; hence he has never
dared to present his name for any pop
ular office. That he does it now, is
remarkable, and shows that his vault
ing ambition has never yet been satis
fied.
We are of the opinion that CAMERON
will be GRANT ' S right bower in the
coming Presidential campaign. Cca
TIN and Or. %RV may both work as much
RA they please to prevent this, but we
do not think their efforts will accom•
plish anything. We guess it is a

!waded into believing that it is neces.
nary to have CAIIIIROV ON the ticket
in order to carry Pemollvania for the
Radicals. We might tell him, paren

don't matter to us. If the Radical

Have They Nothing New?
The old stuff over again
AB the fellow said who had lived on
liver for three hundred and forty days
out of the three hundred and sixty
five, 'it's rather good for an occasional
ineal,but develish hard liven' when you
take it the year round!' So it is with
Radical newspaper arguments. The
first time we heard them in the cam
paign of 1861, they did, for want of
something better. When that politi
cal fight closed we expected something
new would be originated by the next
fall, but it came, and with it the regu
lar campaign,and with the regular cam
paign, the same old bash-dish that had
been served up weekly the year before.
And since that we have had the same
stuff, week after week, through every
campaign, just as regular as radical
papers were issued, and now at the be
ginning of another one, we see nothing
offered but the musty old slops that
have bee led up weekly since '6l
—"rebel," "cop head," "sympathi•
zer," "treason,"--an 6on through the
entire catalogue of names and epithets,
that have been the only stock in trade
of men who have no reasons to give,
why their party should be retained in
place and power, and have no hope of
success, only through the hates and
prejudices of others just as senseless as
themselves.
In the name of all that is decent,have
radical papers and speakers nothing
else to offer to the people I
Should a man vote for StANTON and

What other reason has any radical
paper given why they should be sup

The simple fact that the entire stock
in trade of radical politicians, for the
past ten years, has been a clirpnic dia
rhea of epithets and natnes,s proof
positive that they can give no reason,
produce no argument, why any one
should support the nominations of their
party.

them into our social and political fam
