Radicalism.—We see that Senator Wilson, in a very sullen and ungracious manner, has withdrawn his resolution proposing the expulsion of Senator Davis. He had better never have drawn it, so far as he and his party are concerned. The Senator from Massachusetts mistook the present temper not merely of the people but of the Senate. He is ahead of his time, though probably not more than a year or two, if his party should continue in power, which God and the people forbid.
On the whole, we are not sorry that this form of radical tyranny has so distinctly cropped out thus early. It serves to forewarn the people of the real character and tendency of the party which is raising heaven and earth and hell to perpetuate its power in the government. Forewarned is forearmed.—(Louisville Journal.
