Like Shakespeare's hero, who proposed to bo "'all things to ah men," Radicalism personified, is anything or yerythmg for the occasion. We recollect distinctly that dur ing the administration of President Lincoln, to deny the absolute pow r of the President, or "govern ment," as be was called, was to be guilty of unmitigated high treason-. He had the right to do anything he chose, and Congress had no ether duty to perioral than to meet and ratify his acta. Instead of being a co ordinate branch of the govern ment, the Executive was declared to he the whole government. If there was no warrant lor his assumptions of power it the Constitution, a snb- srvienl Congress was ready to calve over bis stretches of arbitrary power with the necessary legisla tion. s that in fact the President of the United Slates was as absolute an autocrat as the Czar of Bussia. He held alike the reins of civil and' military power, and whom he would be could raise un,' and whom be would be ceuld put down, without being acce-mriable, either to the laws of the people. fii GafeuieV o Ulcere- were merely hfs cferlfa, to whom he would listen if he felt so disposed, and whom he set adrift to suit his OW& whims or convergence. This was the ease from 1861 until 1885. Then came a change. When by the death of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson assumed the Ex ecutive naH5e, tbefe tame a change in the administration of tflo affaree of government, and an "abont-facs'r in Radical principles. The very men who for. four years bad been" inventing argument to show that the President and the Government were synonymous terms, and that it was utterly impossible for the king to dy wrong, were just as positive in their declarations that the Presi dent wns not only not tbe govern ment, but was not even a respecta ble part of it. He was a mere fig tire head, who could do nothing that Congress did not permit him to do. Laws were enacted to pre vent him-from having bis legal ad visers in . a'armoiiy with bis views. Every one of his clearly defined constitutional prerogatives- were ta-i ken awav from bim. Cabinet ofr cets were declared to bo independ ent of and superior to the Preaidon', with the right to continue in office f.s long as tbey chose, and inaugu rate and carry out any line of poli cy thej saw fit iir their respective departments, although it was direct ly opoBed to the kwwn policy of the President: Bven the present incumbent, Ulysses S. (Jraatrlcnt l&melf to . this, and througtf iAit t-aeery ar falsehood surrendered , the War Department which bad beau entrusted io bim upon the elrentb ol his own false represent ations, to an unworthy man, and ido wb flagrantly uourped its lutictions. ' So far did this 6pirit go, that Congress in its usurpations declar ed in the Tenure-of office Bill "that eveiy person holding any civil of fice to which be has been appointed ly and with tho advice and consent of tho Senate,- and every porson who shall hereafter-be appointed to any such cfiice,'- ami ' etiaU become duly qualified to act . therein -and alinll be entitled to - hold snob office until a successor shall have been in-; like manner appointed and duly qualified, except as herein other wise provided : Frorubd That the Secretaries of State, of the Treasu ry, of War, ol the Savy, and'oflhe Interior, the Postmaster General, j aud the Attorney General shall bold tLf'r offices respectively for end durifgfheterm f tKe President by whom they may iave been p pointed and for ono month thereaf ter, subject to removal by and with the advice and codmb ot-U.0 Sen ate."

Now it is clear to every one that tho Radical leaders were acting the part of hypocrites and1 demagozaes in 1863, or they are doing so in J87f Tbey may se lect either born of the dilemma. They eannol escape it, lor the two positions are wholly irrcconcila b!e. THE ROAD TO RUIN. En Route for the Political Bow Wows. From the New York Herald. attention of the leaders and managers of the Republican party, including General Grant, cannot b too closely given to- the following exhibit of the division ot the States between the two parties, as indicat ed in the results of this year's, or the latest, Slate elections : DEMOCRATIC.

It is rap- idly using up its capital of General Grant's popularity, and it is in a fair way to swamp General Grant in-1872. The party is doing noth ing to strengthen the administra tion; but everything to embarrass and cripple it.- General Grant sav ed the party in 1863, and baa saved it io Coitgrt-ss benoofcrward till IS72 ; but at the r.ita of its losses this year it will in lBTlfbe com pletely demolished. The f accesses and prestige and power of Tamma ny Hall, on the other band, have inspired the democracy of the whole country, and they seem to have in New Tork city a base of operations stronger than Washing ton. Uno wonld think that toe lie publican,, having carried through their mission on the slavery ques tion and tho negro questiou to the cap sheaf of negro suffrage, are bea ting aboot hither and tbitberlor for some neur party1. We ktfo that the old Eepufeicaa party, aftfcr Sn ishing its mission, broke up in 1S24 on four Presidential candidates Jackson, Adams, Crawford, and Clay. The present BVpablieaa par-- ty, but Tor General Uranr m ine White House, would surely go the same way in 1872. They say that Fentoc is meditating a bolt any how, a la Van Buren, and that Gea ry, of Pennsylvania, is hot on the trail of the Iabor Reform party as an Independent candidate. At any rate, it these miserable Republican feuds, petty jealousies, smill personal revenges and sense less aqnabble? are not stopped, General Grant himself will soon bo U-ft bfgi mid dry, and tbe Republic can pnrt'will be ewttered and di- vided amorrj;- catt a oozen raous- . l..-, ir.gs, smau poiaio loiiuciaus, u-i ..mfi mU ao1 onal demaffo- .,n. .

CovstRTATiTK In looking over your synoptical report of Wr. Cooper's feceht Thanksgiving Sermon, the a- bove enquiry was strongly impressed upon my mind. And without occupy ing time and space to scrutinize the whole philosophy and influence Of Ho ly Days, and their habits and customs, handed down to us front the Pagan ra ces, and dark (fays ot the world's in tellectual twilight, which, however it may nave been in tue put, ia in our time, undoubtedly, much more an oc caaion of feasting and dissipation thaft thanksgiving and prayer, allow me to hastily glance at dogma prominently put forth bf the speaker on that occa sion, which, however ancient it may bf, certain! should not continue to darken the councils of the Teachers of the afternoon of the Nineteenth Cen tury. The speaker says, "Oxen and horses. unlike men, always recognize in the food and comforts they receive, their master's hand, and evince their grati tude when kindness is meted out to them. They live their thanks to own er sc master ii obedient toil ; and here they teffch us that thanhsVa ing ia much better than thanksgiving. Expres sion of lifs is nothing. Heart tuurt feel and life utter the grsrtefsl sentiment, if Omniscience is to be satisfied," Thus the speaker seems to assert, or at least implies, that there is apertou power, or influence, whictr ailppJies Tictflah; and raiment to man, indepen dent of his own exertions, as man sup plies food and shelter to cattle, and so elearly and demonstrably, that man should perceive aud recognise the fact, aa clearly as aa ox might recognize a fork-full of flay of basket of corn. Vet, any msra Who darti to reason must quickly perceive t3at the doctrine is soperstitioci aftd false in fact, and baneful and degrading ia its influence. And I challenge aUy man to point his finger to a single fact in his own exped ience, though he be as old as the fa bled JfetLuselah. which sustains such doclrineay or justifies suh conclu sion. But does some one say, man ought not to expect his wants to be supplied wiuioui nuiuan exertions, juugmez and skill 1 Then I ask, who, or if bat, ca he rationaSy thank for bis" enjoy, menta, except that same exertion, judg ment and skilr T There has been no new la,-or principle, instituted for bis special benefit, but only a discovery of the old laws, existing from enternitie's morn, and an application, through hu man exertion, of their Omnipotent principles. To illustrate : Forty years ago there were hundreds of acres of land in tfie State of Pedn sylvania which were thrown on to "the commons" and "barren,' w"hica are now fertile fields and blooming- lawns. Dow was this" salu'ary change produced 1 By prayer; by faith, by special providence 7 No, these were never known to succeed on poet stil. But education, enlightenment aii Cheaiical Science had demonstrated; that the elements of vegetable growth might be artificially applied to this barren surface, and hence their own ers shipped OuaBft and Bone-dust from distant isles, discovered and quarried the Limestone rock, mirte-r the Coal, and cat the Wood; and piled them to gether, and decomposed the tne'Jthf tie action of heat, then spread the timfe, (Suano, and Bone-dust in prtpe? proportions, which Science had to de-- termine, upon those sterrile acres, then sowed Clover seed, which f prang up and grew, because Cf the fertilizers which had been applied, and, in it'sj turn, was plowed under while in its largest growth, for several successive years, when wheat is sown, and the husbandman reaps an abundaut har vest to bless his expectant wife and childien with a bountiful supplv of bread? Strang metamorphosis I Wart' derful change !

Tho Era says: A Prohibition ticket was run ior tbe first time at tbe recent election in Michigan. Of course there was lack of tborongh organization, and in many counties, from want of time and the facilities' forgiving information tar tbe peo ple, tickets were not at hand, and some who would have Voted for Probbition, were not able to testily their devotion to tho principle. But, despite all adverse circumstances, w are pleased to learn from the Peninsular Herald, that about three thousand strait votes were cast for tho new party. ' Thcse,'j it snys, "wire given under tbe most rigid 6yetcm of social and political pro scription which we havi ever wit nessed. From tbe begising of tbe canvass to the close, the most bit ter sprrrt of persecution an misre presentation has been manifested by tho tricksters and wire-pullers oi the two old parties." There were quite a number of vo ters who tailed to go to tho polls at all, and tho Republican vote is con siderably lees than it was at tbo Inst election. The Herald refers to tbe election of Congressman in tbe Sixth District, aa follows : "In the Sixth District, which has always been overwhelmingly Re publican, the Democratic Pomineo, Judgo Sutherland, of Saginaw, is oletteJ by a large majority. Tho bolting of the Republican nomina tion of John F.

It .was; this which so pre-eminently fitted them for political leaders in a young, progressive country, WhicS is constantly outgrowing tlio gar ments of childhood.
