The appointment of negro cadets to the West Point military academy is the next move of the Radicals. Our nation is making sapid progress, The Radicals met with a terrible defeat in Mississippi, and, it is said, through ttie vote of the colored men. This, if true, is the "un kindest cut of all." A Radical paper announces that the cam paign under Grant will be "offensive." That it will —offensive to the great mass of the white people of the country. If the people honor General Grant with the Presidency, what vast honor the Confed erates should bestow on the memory of Gen. p.ipe, who, with a greatly inferior force, whipped Grant at Befcnont within an inch ol his military lit. The Baltimore American says that the election ot Giant and Colfax is the "will ot God." We are not authorized inteprcters of the will of God ; but we think that we shall be able to show in November what is the will of man. Gov.

Chief Justice Chase,in conversation recent ly, expteased himself anxious for the with drawal of troops from the Southern States btfore the election, in order that the country may see how the people will vote when un awed by bayonets. Grant stock is not advancing. On the contrary, there is a marked depression. They don't like to invest in a candidate who is "unaccustomed to public speaking,' and who has "no policy" ofhis own. The battle of Bunker llill was fought ninety-three years ago, on June 15th. Santa Anna, who possessed so roach wealth in his day' is now a beggar and dying. Ilis life is an eventful one. Grant and Colfax consider their chances to slim, for election, to warrant their resignation and they have concluded to hold on to what they have.

The Executive Committee Appointed by the Sol diet*' aDd Sailors Conventi n. held at Cleveland in 18G6, have called a national Convention of the Con servative Soldiers and Sailors of the Unite i States, to meet at the city of New York, the 4;h ot July next, to take action on the nomination of Conserva ive candidates for President and Vice-President. As it is desirable that Pennsylvania should be fully represented in sai.i Convention, we request our late comrades in arms to take the necessary action to have delegates elected or appointed from erery Congressional district in the State. As the time is rapidly approaching when the Convention will meet, there should be no delay in the matter. EDWARD I, DANA, Brigadier General WELLINGTON H ENT, Brevet Major General. JACOB SWEITZER.

Organize 1 Organize I Democrats in every town should forth with organize for the campaign. We arc confident that the convention now assem bling at New York will give us a tried and worthy leadar. Let us prepare, im mediately to follow our standard bearer into the hottest ot the fight. Let us make one more vigorous and determined effort to save our country and its cherished in stitutions from the ruin and anarchy into which the rcd-niouthed radicals are drag ging them. Organize, and take your place in the ranks. Now is the time to commence the work, by disseminating correct principles—by circulating sound Democratic papers and documents among the people. A day spent in this work now, is worth a week of mass meetings, just before election. Again we say: or ganize! Form one or more Democratic clubs in every township. Set the fires a burning ! Gird on your armors ! Let the word "Onward! right onward !" be shout ed along the line—and the victory is ours —as sure as there is a God that controls the destinies of Nations. No paper will be issued from this office next week—for various reasons, among which are the following: Our whole type-setting force are "chock" full of patriotism and wish to celebrate. Our devil is loading up, from the crown of his hat, to the heels of his boots, with fire crackers, and if obliged to stay in the of fice—somebody would get Llowcd up. It is a custom now almost universal, among publishers, to loosen up the strings of the bow on the week of the 4th—to which custom we defer. For some years past we have found it worked well, to issue just fifty papers each year. But the prin cipal reason why no paper will be issued from this office next week, is that none will be printed and published; besides we intend to go to New York on the 4th to take a sly peep at the next President. A Gumbo Government Wanted.) RICHMOND, June 25. —The following letter has been written by Senator Sum ner to a citizen of Norfolk : SENATE CHAMBER, June 22, 19g8. DEAR SIR :—I have your letter of the 18th in ref erence to the eligibility of a colored man to COD gress. 1 know of no ground on which he could be excluded from his seat if duly elected, and I should welcome the election of u competent representative of the colored race to either House of Congress, as the final triumph of the cause of equal rights. Till this step is taken our success is incomplete. Yours, truly, CHARLES SI MXER. This black republican millennium is fast approaching. Under the tvranous rule of Grant and his satraps one half of this once fair country is already turned over to the control of ignorant negroes. The halls of Congress where a Jefferson, a Madison, a "Clay and a Webster, once made laws for the government of a noble race of white meo, and almost before the echoes of their eloquent warrings Lave died away—are soon to be desecrated by the gibberings of a brainless and brutal race of negroes. — Then indeed will the black republican tri umph be complete. Then, indeed, will the efforts of the Jacobins, to destroy the gov ernment of the Fathers be a "success-" Then will pandemonium resound with the glad voices of old Thad, and his fellow devils saying : u lt u finished !" The "Johnny Smoker" Presiden tial candidate of the rads is going out west, ostensibly to look after Indian affairs. It is pretty well understood that his bottle holders want to confine him to the weak corn whiskey of that region. From all accounts "Old Rye" is too strong a bever age for bis weak running gears. A general proclamation of amnes ty it is said will be issued by the Presi dent on the 4th inst. Why? What makes all the necessaries of life so expensive ? What makes rents so high ? What makes taxes so onerous? Why is everything the poor man eats, drinks and wears, taxed and tariffed and stamped all over at every stage of its production and transit until it—taxes, tariffs, stamps and all—lands upon the overburdened back of the poor consumer? W by; with all these burthens resting upon the people, is the national debt increasing by millions every month? Simply by reason of the the ruinous policy of the Radical paity. The Southern States, instead of being a huge incubus upon the labor of the North, might help to pay the national debt and help bear the burdens of taxation, In steaJ of producing, the South is consum ing at least one hundred and thirty million dollars yearly, wrung from the hard earn ings of the North. She does not ask for a standing army ; she does not require a F eedman's Bureau ; these are quartered upon her against the solemn protest of her people. Both are useless, cumbersome, expensive and full of corruption. Re move them and the South would again blossom like the rose. Keeping the Rad ical party in power is keeping a huge standing army, and a corrupt, enervating, useless Frcedmen's Bureau, at a cost of one hundred and thirty million dollars everv year. So long as the reins of government are in the hands of the extremities, just so long will the necessaries of life continue high, rents dear, and taxes continue to wear out anil exhaust the energies of the people. •*•- Radicals who Support General Grant.

His first piece appeared in that paper a few weeks ago. It was about his son, Ulysses, or Hiram, or whatever his real name may be—now Gen. Grant. The doting father says of his proraissng son: "Once, when he was a boy, a show came along, in which there was a mischievous pony trained to go round the ring like light ning, and he expected to throw any boy who attempted to ride the pony, "Will any boy come forward and ride this pony ?" shouted the ring-master. I lyases stepped forward and mounted the pony. The per formance began Round and round the ring went the pony, faster and faster, making the grea e-t effort to dismount the rider. But Ulysses sat as steady as if he had grown to the pony's back Presently otit'came a large monkey and sprang up behind Ulysses. The people set up a great shout of laughter, and on the pony ran, but ail produced no effect on the rider. Then the ring-master made the monkey jump on Ulysses' shoulders, standing with his feet on his shoulders, and with his hands hold ing on to his hair. At this there was an other and still louder shout, but not mus cle in Ulysses' face moved. There was not a tremor in his nerve. A few more rouuds, and the ring master gave it up-he had come across a boy that the pony and the monkey both could not dismount." All of which is very interesting, and demonstrates, beyound controversy, Gen. Grant's peculiar qualifications and fitness for Presidency. But what has become of the monkey ? Accoiding to this history, the monkey rode better than I lysses, who only rode the pony, while the monkey rode both Ulysses and the pony. It the mon key is still alive, let the Radicals nominate him. for President and Ulysses for \ ice President. £5TThe Cincinnati Times, June 26, gives utterance to the following: The wisdom of admitting the only relia bly loyal people of the South to the fran chise will be seen some day not distant, when their votes will be needed to promote the subdivision of the immense plantations of the South, which is a necessary prequi site to the resuscitation of the prosperity of that region. Then it is really iutended to distribute the lands of the owners among the negroes, who are understood to be "the only reliable loil people of the South and these ne groes were enfranchaised so that their votes could be used in this distribution ? General Grant says that this story is a false hood told to the negroes bv the Buieau agents, and that it had been exceedingly baleful in its effects upon the blacks. Whom shall we believe, the 2imes or H, U. Grant ? World. Protest of Democratic Members of Con gress Against the Admission of the Carpet-baggers. The following is the protest, in full, of the Democratic members of Congress against the admission of the "carpet-bag" members from Arkansas: The recognized presence of three persons on the floor of this House from the State of Arkansas, sent here by military force acting under a Brigadier-General of the aimy, but nevertheless claiming to be mem bers of this Congress, and lo share with us. the representatives from free States, in the imposition of taxes, and customs and other laws upon our people, makes it our imper ative duty in this, the first case, to remon strate most solemnly, and to protest as, sol emnly against this perilous and destructive innovation of our hitherto constitutional self-government. The so called reeonstuc tion acts, which created the military gov ernment in Arkansas and like governments in other Sonthcrn States, to share with us the legislative power of the Northern and Western free people, we have reason to believe, have been held to be unconstitu tional by tne Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, the public declaration of which fact was avoided only by the extraordinary and strange device of this Congress in snatching jurisdiction from the court m the McArdlc case, when such a public decision was about to be ma Ic of the three great branches of the government. And it seems then, that aftei the Executive ve toed these acts as unconstitutional, the Ju diciary adjudicated them to be so, whib Congress, the creation of but twenty-seven of the thirty seven States of the Union' overii le these equal and co ordinate bran ches of that government, first by voting down the vetoes, noxt Jby nullifying the judgment of the Constitution in an era of profound peace, when not an armad man rose against the government from the Po tomac to the Rio Grande. In ten St.ites our American historical way of creating the organized law has been utterly subverted by the Suayonet, Even until the Declaration of Independence, with scarcely an exception, and even amidst the revolution, conventions have been con voked through, and constitutions created h\ electors of the States, the only authorize I depositors of the sovereign power of every State, without exterior dictation, as under the existing Federal Cons'.iution. The hardest and harshest test oath required fiom 17TG to the peace of 17So was an ab juration oath of allegiance to George the Ihird, while some of the new so-called bayonet-made constitutions for the South propose absurd and cruel tests, absurd as iu Arkansas, where is interwoven in the oiganic law a mere party test, between the Radical reconstructionists and the Demo cratic Conservatives, such as would ex clude from voting, if living th ro, the thousand and tens of thousands and hun dreds of thousands of Democrats in the free States (article 8 section 4, ) or cruel as in Alabama, where no white man can vote who will uot forever fore swear his own race and color and perjure himself by swearing in defiance of law and of God that the negro is his equal and forever to he his equal at the bal!dt-box, in the jury box, with the cartoueh-box, in the school, in the college, in house aud home, and by the fireside ; in short in every way and ev erywhere (art 7, sec 4.) Now in these and other Southern Slates in the midst of the war, I'reidsnt Lincoln in his proclamation of December, 1863, offered amnesty and pardon to rebels then in arms, if they would lay down their arms and take the oath of fidelity, while now no Union man in Arkansas or Alabama can vote, unless in the first place he swears allegiance to the magesly of this Congress, and in the next swears off his Americanism and Afri canizes himself. Hitherto constitutions with us have been the outgrowth of popu lar will, springing from the exuberance of our enterprise and energy in the settle ment of the forests or prairies of our coun try ; hut here, before us now, arc nine con stitutions, with one, if not three more yet to come from Texas' which have all been imposed upon the people by lhe military satrap or pentarch, in a manner never be fore known under otir laws, but borrowed at best from imperial Roman colonization, or from the worse precedents of the Fiench Revolution. France is then recorded to have had live constitutions in three years; so frequently made and so frequently chan ged tiiat they were ironically classed by the French people with the periodical lit erature of the dav. Louisiana, a colony of that France, has had four constitutions in four years, and a constitution there has now become peri odical literature ir, France. In the ago nies and throes of the great revolution, laws were statute laws, and which can nev er be created by constitutions, are appen ded more or less to the constitutions, and these bayonets created one of the government which no Executive, no Sen ate, no House of Representatives, no Judi ciary, have ordained irrepealable aitd irre versible laws in the very organism of that, such as cannot thus he created by the Ex ecutive, the Senate, and the House of Rep resentatives of legitimate governments, when acting in unison and all combined ; all this has been done without regard to preceding constitutions, to pieccdents, or the common law of the States or laws of nations. The military power, which un der legitimate institutions can only be used O i In times of peace to conserve and preserve the State, has here been used to destroy States. The General of the Army, who represents the sword and the only sword of the Republic, has been exalted by acts of Congress above the constitutional Com mander-in Chief of the Army and Navy, in order to execute these military decrees, and as the surer way to root out every vestige of constitutional law or liberty, the same General of the Army, in order to perpetuate bis military domination with the North and West as well as the South, has been selecied.in a party Convention at Chicago, to head the electoral vote for the the Presidency. In ten of our States which are as much under his feet as Turkey is under the Sul tan, or Poland under the Czar of Russia ; but as finally to add insult to the injury to this military outrage upon the popular government. In these ten States, either by act of Congress, or these soldier-made constitutions, at least two hundred and fifty thousand whites have been disfran chised, while seven hundred and fifty ' thousand negroes, inexperienced in all law making, and more ignorant than our chil dren, have been enfranchised in their stead, and have been created absolute mas ters to govern over the whole white population of the South. J3ccaii.se of all thisyand in opposition to all this, we, the I representatives of ihe people from the free States in behalf of our constituents and of i thousands and tens of thousands of others j who would be represented if the popular ! power without could now control and act i here within, earnestly and solemnly pro test against this violence upon our Con stitution and upon our people, and db here by counsel and advise all friends of popu lar government to submit to this force and fraud only until, at the ballot-box, opi ra- I ting through the elections, this great i wrong can be put right, i There is no law in the land over the I constitutional law ; there is no government ! hut constitutional government, and hence I all bayonet made, all Congress imposed constitutions are of no weight, authority or sanction, saved that enforced by arms, an element of power, unknown to Ameri cans in practice, and never required, but as it acts in and under the suprerau civil ! law, the Constitution, and the statutes en acted in pursuance thereof. We protest, then, in behalf of the free people and the ! West against the right of the military o!i garchy established in Arkansas or else where in the now re-enslaved States of the South, to impose upon us, through Con gress taxes or customs, or other laws to maintain this oligarchy or its Freedmen's Bureau. We protest against going into the now proposed copartnership of inilita- I ry dictators and negroes in the administra tion ol this government. We demand,in the name of the fathers of the Constitu tion, and for the sake of posterity, not its reconstruction, but the restoration of that sacred instrument which has been to us all a pillar of tire from 1787 on to its present overthrow, and in all solemnity be fore God and man, tinder a full sense of the responsibility of all we. utter, we do hereby tix our names to this protest against the admission of these three persons claim ing to be members of Congress from Ar kansas.
