Tha Shadow of a Mighty Name
, What in former year# we proudly call
ji d **lhe great republic of the w. stern
i world" now glands the shaJoic of a mighty '
\ name ; ami whL to intelligent tarn every
where appears most strange is the f*ct
that those part# of the country which have
made the greatest show in educational in- ,
stitntions have shown the must earnest
j determination to crush out every true prin
ciple of republican government. Less j,
than a century ha# elapsed since the peo- i
pic of New England look up arms against
their government rather than pay a tax
upon '"tea and paper and painters' colors;"
and now the people of that part of the
l country patiently submit to the most oner
■ (Mia taxation upon their food, clothing and
comfort#, imposed by a moneyed oligarchy
for the purpose of reducing th*m to the '
1 level of negro slaves.
That men whoso time ia ail employed j
: in unending toil to procure the subsistence j
of their families should quietly submit to
i *uch oppression doe# sot excite surprise ;!
1 but it is a matter of especial wonder that
' those now possess rig wealth, and knowing
how vapidly the wheel of fortune turns
i in our country, should disregard the inter- j
est# of their children, most of whom must
' earn their bread, and aid in establishing j
the meanest form of despotism which has j
ever cursed u country.
Men in u lever do not sue thing* as
those who are co! and clear in their per- .
! ceptions view them ; and it ;* manifest
j that for a number of year# p s,t a mental
lever, caused by the long indulgence of ]
| bitter party and sectional hatred, has HO ,
I far become chronic among the more ;
wealthy portion of the people of all the 1
Northern States of our country, that it
may properly be regarded as political in
sanity, for men in a sound condition of,
mind could not be deluded a.* thane men '
arc.
Suppose they succeeledir. what they
are striving for, and that tbey establish .
| the power of their parly leaders —can any
of them tell what kul of government I
they will live under? Moat probably;
they will cab it a republic , and they may j
have ail the satisfaction which can tc de- I
; rived from living under a nominally "re- ;
j publican form of government; " but there
1 will be nothing republican about it but the
! name
Every impoitant principle of our F'd
j oral s\ stem ho been abandoned by them j
' The reserved rights of the States have |
been ignored ; the right or taxing unrepre
sented communities lias been established ;
the authority of a majority in 'Congress"
to impose penalties upon individuals arid
, communities which have not been con vie- j
led of any crime has been sanctioned ; i s
| authority to compel men to enter its ar
mies, and tc take their property, has been
! enforced ; the authority of that majority to
disfranchise sii who are imt "loyal* to j
their patty ia now exercised. All thedi-j
; visions of powers in the Federal govorn
! ment has been abolished, and an irreapou 1
J sible oligarchy calling itself 'Congress" '
has assumed supreme power.
We should be glad to have some of our ;
i cotemporaiie# undertake to define the j
j kind ot government the Uadical leaders \
! design to establish. We doubt much if
any of theui know. It is certain that its
inevitable tendency is to anarchy, which <s
I the disruption of aii government, and men
jof any intelligence should know when alll
' the conservative influence* in a communi- ;
,ty are destroyed, rieh men l<m gu>te as
much at poor onu. In their overweening
| desire to oppress hated political oppo-
I nents, the wealthy men of the country arc !
inviting that condition of disorder which
must destroy their security, their proper-]
ty, and probably their lives, and surely the
victims of their oppression can lo*e no
more. Sensible men know that the only
safety of a commonity is in a system of just,
laws which will restrain rulers, legislators
and congresses, ss well as individual iuu
Our Constitution was the bast fundamental
law ever established, and, in superseding
■ it, the Jacobin leaders have destroyed the I
v.-ry foundations of national freedom.— :

i. Retrenchment.
As a begming to retrenchment of the
| r-xpenscs of the government, the New
York TOMS urges that President Grant's f
j salary shall be quadrupled. Of course, it
a man who gets #25,000 a year ought to
get four times as much, each subordinate
! Radical will see a still better reason for a
liko increase in his emoluments. This is j
| the reasoning of the Times :
"The sa'ary of the President is $'25,000 '
a year. It wa* fixeJ at this sum in the ,
early davs of the government. At that.
time it represented five times a* much, if j
not ten time# as much, as it represents ]
now. It is altogethei too srnail to support
the President in proper style, and to en- j
1 able him to meet his necessary cxpeudi
i tures as Chief Executive of the nation.— j
It ougat to be, at the very lowest, $lOO,-
• 000. t,\> have no doubt that the next
Congress will take some action in this mat
ter President Grant should not he com- |
pulled to live in the cheap boarding house 1

The Privileges of the Presidency to be
Restored.
A Washington di*palcii states that since
the arrival of Gen. Grant in that city, the
queition of repealing in hi.# favor the liws
of Congress, limiting the authority of the
' President, ha been freely discussed. It
is announced tiiat th.-*e law* were enacted
for a special purpose, m order to restrain
iMr Johnson from interfering with tli Re
construction policy of Congress, and that
; there i no occa*ion for their continuance
under a President who i* in harmony with
i the majority in Congress. A number of
I leading Republicans are opposed to a rep-a!
'of tbee law#, and advocate the assertion
!of a permanent controlling influence by
• Congress over the Executive. As it is
kuown, however, that the Democrats in
tend t introduce u hi 1 for the restoration
of the full privileges of the Presidency to
Gen. Grant, it is thought that he Repub
liean* uiii anticipate them, and that an
act wiii fie passed at the commencement of
: ihc Dfembr session, to take effe< t trora
: th'- -4tli of March next, winch will give the
in-w President the privileges of his office.
The infamous precedent of depriving the
President of his constitutional prerogatives
. may yet return to plague !hs inventors. —

For Nagro Suffrage.
Wo clip the following from the editoiid
colunas of the N Y. Tribune, where it
appears in the full display of double lend
od type :
"One of thu most gratifying incident-,
of the late National triumph is the adop
tion of impartial suffrage in the Statu* of
I lowa and Minnesota by decisive nisjori
' ties 'lbis wa# the third trial in Minneso
ta—the vote for Justice and True Lfenioc
racy increasing it each repitition. Con
necticut, we tr.ist is about to follow.
If their brass were not inch-deep, we
should shame thu slanderers who assert
| that the Republicans are for Negro Sut
-1 Page in the South, but against jr at the
North.'
1 We ansure the Tribune that we arc not
of ihose "who assert that the li> publicans
arc in favor of Negro Suffrage in the South
but against it in the North.V We believe
j the leaders of the party arc in favor of
; complete and perfect Negro Equality
throughout the whole country. We knoa
i that the uin*iei of the party do not like the
;do Ac prepared for them. Their stomach#
very naturally revolt at if, but the leaders
inai*t upon their swallowing it. Th peo
pie of Minnesota rejected it twice and
the people of lowa once before, but they
had to accept it at last. The Tribune
acrvea notice on Connecticut that Le is to
be the next subject. The turn of Pvnn
, *ylvania will come before long, if there is
i not a check to the power of the Radicals
and tbo Conservative It-publicans (so
called,) who sweat they can never go i'.,
will aubmit with subservient hiunilitv.—
They haven'; the backbone to make a
tight ag*inat the Radical laftdcr*.—
