Bat party demanded the sac rifice of right and justice, and they were sacrificed. . But the-case cf Senator Stocktor: was still more gross and scandalous.

Arc they in Earnest ? Since' the passage of the Civit. Rights Bill by Congress, in opposition to the will of the President, consMerab!e consterna tion ha? a riser; in the circles of what has recently been called Comervative Republi cans, and this consternation becoming pub lic has revealed somewhat more definitely the chief object of the-e self-styled con servatives. From the New York Times, we gel 'direct information that the doing of vhe radicals are 'fana'ical, tyrannical, trai" torous," and that they would, if carried into effect, "entail disgrace, disaster, destruc tion upon the Union party." - These assertions of fanaticism, tyranny and treason in the principles and acts of the Republican party, or hypocritically, the Union party, in the words of the Times, are but 4he echos of ihe truthful faying; by Democrats, of the administration of the Republicans for the five years last past, and though a few interposals hare been made by President Johnson recently, in the performance of some honorable acts main taining the Constitution and laws of the land, yet Ihe same spirit of fanaticism, tyranny and treason, is the only impulse which gives motive to the Republican par ty. The New York Times has, however taken a stand with the President and ap parently in direct opposition to the radi cals ; iiiX.upon a minute search of the rea- 80ns for ihi course, wa find the only rca gon a te, that because of the wrongful con- j d Uct ol the great mas of Pepublicans, it r Jearns the truth of the declaration ol Sen- J atfr Lane1 of ' Kansas, lhai "the Republican party is crumbling to pieces." And while wa find the Times thus casting stones at lne radicals, we notice in the same columns. expressions of great gratification, when the There is no other conclusion for ns then. thaw these men, called contervative Republi- cans, are the basest ot the ba?-e Reputdi cans, and, instead of earnestly supporting President Johnaon's constitutional acts in honesty and Iratb, are the mere tools of policy, "playing second fiddle," with the Radicals, while the harmot y of the Con stitution mar be destroyed, and aiding, by their votes for the most promiMercl fauat- ica l0 prepare a safe track np-an which the tjernon cf tyranny may ride safeiy upon :he pe?p'e, and crushing the vitality of ihe Constitution, ths Republican pirty'may not crarab:e !0 pieces but remain to administer, ,bey WAy thc call piiolccei allowed ,0 citIZ3ns.t rjot'iighu tecuied b) fixed and . iVfS There may, however, le ui hin the cir cles of .these conservative Republicans, honest and noble men, desiring the su premacy ol law. and ihe removal of op pression, there no doubt are many ; but Ihe course of the Times, Air.

We demand these coiservi lives to go for or against the President, at all times, for candidates in popular elections who favor the Presidents policy, as well as give a meagre support, and still more raea:tr) in fluence, in Representative Hall. We ak them : Where are you ? Are yon with the Union party, which, accord. n? lo the President's declaration, must be in favor of his policy or can bo no Union party, or are yon against the Union ?
