A Change.
The Clinton (Mo.) Independent, hitherto a Radical journal, can stand it no longer. It says:
Nearly all the decent men who ever belonged to the Republican or Radical party have left, and many more will leave it as soon as they learn the truth. Chief Justice Chase, Senators Trumbull, Grimes, Ross, Fessenden, Cowan, Doolittle, Dixon, and even the President of the United States have left the party since it fell into the hands of such dirty thieves as Beast Butler, Dirty Work Logan, and original favorites and abolitionists like Stevens and Sumner.
