The Malan at It Was, "
The Constitution as It Is
RADiCAILISTURVN MAD.
A. few days prior to the assembling of
the Chicago Convention, which nominated
Mr. LuicoLN, there was held, in the same
city, a National gathering of German rad•
icels; the purpose of these was to dictate
the policy of ,the Republican party, and
they succeeded. Encouraged by their
success in 1880, these revolutionary Ger—
mans have already commenced their oper
ation, in view of controlling the nomina
tions and electien next year. They assem
bled in Cleveland last week, their session
lasting several days, and among other res
olutions they passed the following :
5. Treatment of the re-oonan•red reboi States
as Territories for the purpose of re construction.
EI COS ion of the Confiscated lands in the spirtt
of the Homestead Bill, as well as d-nati ct por-
Unto rf land to the deenders of the country, of
whatever color, and to the liberated slaves.
It will be seen from this that the Ger
man Radicals have adopted the extreme
idea of the rabidest Abolitionist. The
, Southern States are to be, when conquer
,
ed, reduced to territorial condition, and
the lands given to such German Radicals
and emancipated slaves as may choose to
settle upon them. This idea is fast gain
ing favor with the leading Abolitionists,
and, now that the German element de
mands its incorporation in their coming
Presidential platform, there is but little
doubt of their demands being agreed to.
The meeting in Cleveland alluded to
was intended to dictate to the Abolition
party, and, at the Same time to kill off
President LINCOLN. Tile St. Louis Radi
Gals who have been quarreling with the
President, controlled its deliberations, so
that we may readily infer that his chances
for renomination are by no means prom_
icing. His recent reply to their insolent
demands, the other day, has caused them
to indulge in language c oneerning him,
which would not be tolerated in Demo
crats, where Provost Marshals abounded.
We find, too, that some of the leading
Northern Abolitionists have esponsA the
cause of the Western Radicals
which makes the re—nomination of
the President very doubtful, indeed. In
New York City, the other day, such lead
ing Abolition spirits as WM. C. BRYANT,
Mayor OEDYEE and DAVID DUDLEY FIELD.
held a meeting al which they adopted the
following :
" WnesEas. The poicy pursued by Przsilunt
LINCOLN in Missouri, by closing his ears to .the
just, loyal and patriotic demands and grievances
of the Radical par'y while he eldorses and sus
tain the disloyal and oppressive course of Gore,
nor Gunibb., tiezeral St-ROFIELD, an 1 thei r adher
ents, is an inccmprehencible policy, since it is in
striking contradict-on to the snii - it of Mr. Lis
comes own proclamatir ns and to di - tinct acts of
Congress concerning the property of rebel ions
alaveholders
•
Resolved, That we HEREBY DENOUNCE AND
CONDENN the coarse pursued by 'Governor GAN
•deneral SCROPERLD, and their political asso
ciates, As A DISLOYAL. LAW-DEFYING
po.icy calculated to defeat the object of the pros
eat war, and enclarger its speedy termination.
• Resolved, Ttat we deeply and earaostly de
plore the ENDOr , SEMENT EY PRESIDENT Lnvect-r
of a entity so utterly °noosed to the sriirit of his
own
_proclamation and of distinc acts of Congress.
and Ms refusal to aNsent to the just demands c.f
the loyal Radical party of Missouri.,"
If, in addition to these proceedings in
Cleveland and in New York, we take the
speech of BENJ. F. Btrrt.ss, lately elected
a delegate to the National Union Lague,
we can form a correct idea of the platform
Of our opponents at the next Presidential
election. It will be all that the Germane
who assembled at Cleveland demands.
The report of BUTLER'S speech says that
he took "ground with these who dei'lare
that the seceded States have annihilated
themselves as States, while the power of
the General Government still remains
intact over their territory. He opposed
the position of a member of the Cabinet,
that the rebel Commonwealths, by throw.
ing down their arms, should be received
into the Uuion with unimpaired rightq,
with their old local institutions."
- - .
It will be seen from this that the first
delegate elected to the National Union
League has corns up squarely to the de
mends of the German Radicals. The
total annihilation of the Southern people,
the emancipation of their slaves, and the
Parceling out of the conquered territories
to those who choose to settle upon them,
will be the programme which every con.
servative citizen will have to encounter
in our next National election.
rioaTn. CAROLINA
A good deal of discontent has been vis
ible for same time in North Carolina with
the rebel Government; one of theirorgans
remarks that, so far as these expressions
of discontent show the gradual recovery
of the Union men of the South from the
epidemic fear which seemed to seize them
all immediately upon the breaking out of
the rebellion, we hail them as good tidings.
But as for any practical value in the
struggle in which we are now engaged,
we are unable to see it. These North
Carolina malcontents boast that they
have furnished more soldiers for the rebel
armies than any of the cotton States, and
there can be no doubt that they tell the
truth. Despite all their talk, they will
continue to send men into the rebel armies
whenever called upon to do so. They
are unwilling to do anything which shall
separate theM from the other rebel States,
and their speeches and writings all de—
mand terms of reunion which are totally
inadmissable. We must learn to recog
nize the trt-th that in this contest we
have got to conquer by the valor of our
soldiers alonG. No halt-way gronnll is to
be allowed Anywhere. If we can crush
out the rebellion, these North Carolina
malcontents will -be well satisfied with
the new state of thfrigs we shall establish,
although at the, present they would
be very far from assuming the responsi
bility of • recognizing it. Such, we have
no donbt, is the real sentiment of a large
number—of-Union men all over the South.

as 35 cents per pound for cattle, when the
government is limited by law to the ply

TETE VOTE IN 01110.
The wrole vote cast at the late election
in Ohio will probably foot up over 470,-
000. Of this vote Vallandigham received
'187,000, a larger number than was ever
before given to a Democratic candidate
far Governor. Allowing one voter to
each six persons, (says the Cleveland
Rain Deder,) and that is a short esti
mate, and the total population of our
State is two million eight hundred thous
and ! That is a half million more people
than we had by the census of 1860. If
that vote is honest, our state has in
creased in population at a rate that is as
tonishing. The increase of vote is the
most remarkable in counties bordering
on other States.
LAMEST NEOS PROH THE SOUTH
We give below s ome further extracts
from the latest Richmond papers :
From Chattanooga.
A letter from a "prominent officer in
Longstreet's corps" states that there will
be no attack on Chattanooga, and adds
that although the Union position is not
impregnable, it is very strongly fortified,
and would cost half of Bragg's army to
storm them."
A Chance Lost to Pepper Jefi.
The Atlanta Appeal, in its report o
Jeff. Davie' late review of Bragg's army
says:
"The President was, during a portion
of the - time. within one thousand yards of
the Federal batteries, and had the enemy
suspected his presence every gun on their
front would have rained shells along our
line. The Federal pickets during the re
view were in plain sight. Subsequently
to the review his Excellency rode up the
Lookout Mountain, and inspected the
Yankee camps. Here, too, he was within
easy range of their guns, and an nnlucky
shot might have terminated his career Eq.
ever. Bat fortune favors the brave."
"The Yankee , . Snalft go to Sehna.''
A corrsapond with Bragg's arm
says :
"A lady here, intent on geeing the Pres
ident, awaited his arrival most anxiously
at the depot, and upon seeing him, rush
ed frantically to where he was, exclaiming
in pathetic accents, 'Oh, Mr. President,
will you let the Yankees come to Selma ?
'I assure you, my dear madam, they 611.3.
not,' replied the dignified Mr. Davis, and
thereupon the clverjoyed fair oue sm;cked
his lips. No dainty 'bus' it was rith, r.
but a regular 'sockdologer,' that sounded
like the report of a small pistol."

iFed by others, we were yet surprised by
he truly iniceent and childish reply which
is considered proper to return to our del
egates. It is well known that the fit
conference of the great delegation with
Mr. Lincoln took place no the 30th of Sep
tember, and on that occasion, after the ad
dress had been read, the President plead•
ed his case for about one hour's duration
in a 'Tell -set speech. But when a detailed
conversation took place after that with the
separate delegates, he reamed to hack out
by step, and gave the especial assur
ance that he considered the radicals as the
friends, and the only friends, of his pal
icy. True, he was smart enough at the
name time in add that ho would give no
de finite decision, hut institute first a
thorough examination. The gentlemen
were rognestod to be patient, and to call
again. New, every one would be inclined
to suppose that the President must have
been sure of one matter, at I, , aat, in that
ronversmion, viz: that the radicals agrozd
with his poiiry—of coarse, only in co far
as he was conscious of his own p - dicy.
But very matter he changes his
opinion itt ti written reply, letting cot
the most absurd phrases iu that ceunec
"The P•e,ide.,t, rates c.,1 th , 2 (lth of
Sep:ernhe,, :1,11, knew the
the radicals o- ly, were the tiro: supprrters
of his fre - do:n policy. and the only men
upon whom he could rely in Missouri; and
on the ."):11 of October he writes : 'The
radicals and the conservatives both agree
with rr.F, in scAr.i; things, and not in others,'
&c. When this sentence was read to
those delega:es, who had been present at
the interview mentioned Above, it produc
ed A perfect storm of indignation ; and a
very cool mum, who had hitherto support
ed Lincoln particularly, remarked : 'Now
I hare dare with him ; he is an artful
trickster.'
Bur the c,,d of the long, or the short
meaning cf the long document is this :
That the Pr( side-nt not only yes hand in
hand with the graduals or conservativ,li.
but that ha does not want to come to a rap
tare even with the more than doubtful pro
slavery men ; for he says shamefully, in so
many words, that he does recognize a
Union sentiment which makes the preser
vation of slavery a condition And more:
He even seems to hint, in tht, phrase, 'even
among those who are for the Union,' dze.,
that there are also anti-slavery men among
the rebels, or perhaps, that the Jacobins
are rebels. So far has he gone down."
The above is takerl from the leading
Abolition German paper of the West.

The Bight of Free Thought and
the Duty of Cantio•-..
An article in a city jott7,,,i, which proi
fesees to be a critici • :an of Mr. Pollard's
recent publiesaejn, -"The Second year of
the War,' t
mace occasion to produce an.
argument so common, and yet so illogi
cal, that we may notice it generally, apart
from ita application to any immediate
object of literary ceiticsm. It is that
censure or derogatory !Juice of the Ad
ministration necessarily implies an attack
upon the whole Confederacy. However ,
this may have been intended by our co
temporary, it is the convenient fallacy of
flatterers. These would have us believe
that whosoeVer makes an uncomplimen•
terry allusion to Mr. Davis and his Cabi
net, attacks the Confederacy and its cause,
disgraces us in the eyes of Europe, and
solicits the ruin of the country.
We cannot share these ideas of the per
sonal importance of Pregident Davis.
They are not the inspirations of an inde
pendent judgment. In the article referred
to, it is declared that Jefferson Davis has
"led and directed the whole mighty move•
ment," so far toward the accomplishment
of our independence. Of course, accord
ing to this standard of judgment, censure
of the President involves the ruin of the
cause, and any detraction from his Mo
saic attributes is impious treason.
The people of this Confederacy have ac
complished much ; have exhibited many
heroic virtues ; and have wrung some
favors of fortune from the most adverse
circumstances. But in all that are sub
jects of congratulation in this war, what
part or lot Gas the "statesmanship" of
Richmond; what has really been contrib
uted by the President and the Cabinet offi•
cers who surround him ? "This is the
wrioris question of history, and is not to
be trifled with in the compliant spirit of
cotempernry times. Let those deny the
justice of that historical judgment which
refuses to attribute to the official authori•
ties of this Government such success as
we have had in this war say that they have
contributed to it. Then the question will
become practical, and the discussion be
stripped of the vague style of general
compliments, and the mere assertions of
flattery.
Where are the great evidences of
"statesmanship" in Richmond; where
those of the foresight and sagacity of our
lenders? Arc they to be found in our
foreign relations, which have been maise
shifts from month to mouth ; in our fican•
cial calculations, which have proved the
most ridiculous failures in history ? Wno
is responsible for the wreck of our finances
—the people or the Government?
It is well that the question should come
up for public discussion, in what real and
sute , .tantial particulars the Airninititin•
tion has contributed to ;his war. We ha o
had enough of mere words about President
Davis being the "central figure' of this
war, and 'the representativ e of tha p• o•
ple (.1 the Routh," and his exaltation
upon "I he buckler" of the peopie, of rr

embarrassment of cur oat o:
nrmlc3 can be traced directly to Washing
!:n c,:y. Every failure .f our armies to
do what the country expects them to
eve ry rice of the many "stale, flat and
unprofitable conclusic o, to which urn
naigns of the bric c htest btomise have
been brought, can he traced to the same
9011 rt e.
in thc season now practically past. the
cou;.try has seen war on a magnificent
,tale and in a series of immense Opera
tions have either ended in a failure to its
ir have been without any good result,
.wing simply to „the interference of t,,,
Washington strategists In the great Mi
oippi campaign we had a glorious sue
CA•94. In the central or Chattanooga cam
paign we had a bitter failure. In the
summer campaign, on the Potomac,
hard earned victory was made barren 6.
Lee's escape, and in the failure of :he Ar
my of the Potomac to give battle to Gin
Lne on his recent advance we have a na
tional disaster.
Throughout the whole land there is
hardly a school-boy who does not know
that for oar success on the Mississippi we
are indebted to General Grant's refusal to
permit the Washington interference with
his plans. No fact of the war is better
known than this ; for the President has
taken particular pains to tell it. And with
this fact in relation to that success, and in
another fact in relation to the three fail
urns that we have associated with it, we
enunciate the vital law of our great strug
gle,t hat we shall always have success where
the Washington authorities cannot inter
fere, and failure where they can. For to
that interference that Gen. Grant would
not submit to, and which has been the
bane of every army but his, we are indebt
ed fur every one of our last three failures.
Lee was not annihilated on the Potomac
because General Meade was ordered not
to give the final blow. Lee escaped, not
because our army was not able at u ready
to destroy his, not because Gener.,' \i,-ade
hesitated to strike, but because !i
dered not to do so. If Geri. - ,de
was fearful upon any one point, .. . . I lest
L-43 should get away. But from o,'ash—
ington, where they never have any doubts,
he received most positive assurance that
Lee could not cross the river, and the fur
ther instruction to wait until every man cf
his reinforcements came up. He waited,
and Lee slipped through his fingers.
General Rosecrans was positively or
dered to make the advance that brought
on the battle of Chickamauga, though the
organs of the War Department attempt
lamely to deny it ; and recently, in Vir ,
g ia, General Meade was ordered not to
;.;bit L , --e on the Rapidaa or the Rappahan
-k, bat to withdraw to Centreville.
And all of these failures the country
may trace to the War Department, and
tore particularly-,to General Halleck.
For it is but jest to give to the radical
character of Mr Secretary Stanton full
credit for its particular virtue in pugnacity
—Mr. Stanton desires that our armies
should fight . Whether the armies are in
the right place .or condition, or whether
they are not, he thinks they ougLt to fight ;
and for the failure to annihilate Lee on
the Potomac, or to fight him on the Rapi•
dan, General Halleck, and not Mr. Stati•
ton, is responsible. Through this Wash
ington strategy six months have been lost,
and we are at the commencement of
another winter. Are all of these failures
honestly the result of military blunders, or
areahey partly military and partly politi
?Is it intended to save the war sa
that it may be very grandly put down next
year, just in time to make excellent capi
tal for the next Presidential election?
Ax exchange comes to us with a notice
that Truth' is crushed oat of this issue.
This is almost as bad as the country editor
who said : 'For the evil effects of intoxi
eating drinks see our inside.'
A c isit to Brigham Young. I
A Salt Lake correspondent of the N. Y. I
Evening Pod writes:
I found President Young an agreeable,
affable gentleman, ariparently not over
forty-five years of age, although he is
really upwards of sixty. He was dispos—
ed to Converse upon'any and all subjects
very freely. The treaty with Japan he re
garded at first as a failure, and the char
acter of the embassy which visited the
United States hag served to confirm that
belief. The war, he thinks, will be con
tinned till a great part of the North and
South are need up,or to speak more plain
ly. till all aro annihilated, when the .
"Saints" will be the people to occupy the
country in peace and quietness. The des
olation caused by war he regards as the
judgment of the Lord For the prosecution
of the Saints. Brigham was disposed to
give any information concerning his thea-
I tre, temple and tabernacle, and about his
other publid buildings. The ventilating
of his private school-room, where his own
children, numbering some sixty, are edu
cated avp eared . to hes favorite subjeet of
conversation. The ceilings of these rooms
are eighteen feet high, ventilated from the
tops of all the windows. His own, resi
dences —there are several buildingeare
large and airy, with double doors, and
ceilings twenty or thirty feet in height. One
building is principally occupied by his
Brigham sleeps alone and eats alone.
Whenever he wants one of his wives he
sends for her. It is not uncommon to
gee three or four of his wives at church
sitting together, and generally dressed
alike. A dozen or fifteen children are
about his premises at play at all times,
apparently happy enough. Brigham
Young jr,, a son about twenty years old-
a pretty fair chip of the old blOck—has
just returned from Europe, whither he
was sent on a ruission. While there he
visited most of the countries and places
of interest, being supplied with as much
money as he wanted to spend. Brigham's
last wife was rather an interesting young
lady, the daughter of Mr. Folsom.
It is asserted by the Mormons that the
roost nerfcct hsrmony and good feeling
prevails among the wives of the ''harem,"
but I have positive information which
shows this to be false.
Brigham is friendly disposed toward the
overland mail companies. People visit
ing Salt bake are watched in their move
ts the 83T11 P as they would be if they
known to be murderers or incendia.
rie4; , trangere never converse, except in
.ow tones, so thatthey cannot be heard off
oee;dewalLs.
The spy system here is equal to that in
Vienna or Paris. Men end women are
frequently found curled up under the fence
inside the yard to listen to people passing
along the streets. Men have been known
co come and listen under the window of
strangers, when lights have been seen at
what they considered unusual boars. To
report aeythiog to Brigham to attract his
attontn.nwould he accounted good work.
