The above article reminds me of a questionwhich I heard asked in a con gregational meeting- not long since, viz: "Are .they members of the the church?"

SKETCHES OF RADICALISM , Salisbury Examiner. ; s ;ki The people of North Carolina need but robe Informed of the character and pur poses of Radicalism, of its atrocious deeds of violence and bloodshed, of its cruel tyr anny and wanton usurpations of power, of its base duplicity and shameless rogue ry, to cause them to spew it ont of their mouths as an unclean thing. The fact is, thej hare not been kept informed as to the doings aud nature of this pestlvemus faction. Democratic speakers and Dem ocratic newspapers have been too timid. They have coudoued rather than exposed tle wrongs under which the people are groaning. The great masses of tire peo ple have been so hard pressed to make provision for their families and keep away- poverty from the door, as to become in different in a measure to what has been trapnsiring around them. Radical lead ers have taken advantage of these circum stances and pressed their suit with all the ingenuity, chicanery and persistency of men reduced to the alternative of life or death. The result is the people have been deceived and have grown indifferent; and many calling themselves good Dem ocrats even fawn upon and rejoice over the triumphs of some of the dirtiest of thesei most unscrupulous Radicals iu achieving place and power. They seem not to be couscionsof what they do. They seem tohave forgotten, if they ever knew, that the Radical party and those who support it, are responsible for all the woes, tears, and blood with which the country haB been ahiicted for the last twenty years, They seem not to know that the Radical party and its leaders have stripped our free Democratic government of law and order, of nearly every attribute of liberty, and are still encroaching upon the lights of the people and centralizing all the func tion sof authority as if preparing the way for a despot to rule over us. But the jKMtple should and must be in formed; andsofarnsthe Examiner is con cerned, it shall be the object of these sketches to revive the memory of those who may have forgotten the past history and bloody deeds of infamous Radicalism. To a proper understanding of its black record of crimes, it is necessary to go back to the establishment of our govern ment. Yea, we can trace the cloven foot of tho party which has ruled since sixty one and well-nigh ruined the country, from the landing of the Mayflower on a cold bleak December day ataplac which they afterwards named Plymouth. To tho landing of this vessel on our coast, in sight of Cape Cod,, freighted, as it was with a band of Puritan whiners, canters, reformers and seditious disorganizes, may be traced all our woes, religious and po litical, past, present and futnre. They first rled from England for their own good and for England's good, pithched their tents for a lew years in Holland ; but as the Hollanders were not any more friendly to' their unsocial and seditious ways than the good people of England had before lcen, they embarked and sailed for wil derness America. Here they planted tlie poisonns vine of Puritanism which is sy nonimous with all that is base and repul sive in politics, morals, or religion. Puritanism aud hatred are convertablo terms, says the Old Guard. Hate some thing, it continues, the Puritan must; and this hatred is always directed against some endowment or attainment denied or unattainable by itself. Xo sooner had the Puritans seenred a footing on the bleak and rocky coast of Massachusetts, than they fulminated the most foolscap ed icts against Roman Catholicsthough there were none of that creed within hundreds of miles of them. Holidays and Saint's days were prohibited, as well as the great festival of the true Christians Christ inasday ; but the wiser ones, knowing the yearnings "of the heart for set days of re creation and enjoyment, conceived the plan of consecrating an illegitimate shad ow of Christmas; and hence was ordained an annual carnival for gluttons, naming it thanksgiving day, sacred to sectarians, who, fur that one day gormamUwd on fat turkeys and plump pullets, sweetci- der and pumpkiu pics. Church edifices were to be no more for- evert but nuetUtn hoiims, shaped not 1111- Steam Heatixo ix New York. The New Yorlt board of aldermen have passed, over the mavor's veto, a bill granting per mission to tlie United States Heating and Power Company to lay mains in the streets of that eitv. The company is empowered to lay pipes and mains through the streets nnd avenues at a charge of three cents per foot of pipe and two per cent, of the net profits when these exceed ten percent: This will not interfere with the Spinola Company, which has already, commenced work, and will prosecute it with vigor as soon, as the weather will permit, so tjiat if there is vir tue in steam heating, New York will per haps realize it at an early day.

Church organs were forbidden, and the bass viol and vi olin were anathematized; while nasal twanged psalmody was the only music, sacred or secular, tolerated by the sancti fied saints of the Puritanic Utopia. It being as natural for Puritans to hate as it is for curs to snarl, and having no enemies at hand they turned, like a cer tain class of loathsome reptiles, and bit themselves. -. lho liapnsis, one 01. me most respectable of all the dissenting sects, but not quite so pure in bigotry as the Simon-Pures of Mayflower blood, were driven into the wilderness, and com- H elled to trust in Providence, agaiust tlte wilesof tho heretofore inoffensive -Indians, rlntY1 merciless bv the inhuman treat- tho Puritan invader. Quakers, the most nniet: industrious and unobtru- siyf of all the wets-uncinreu wiiu run tanism, were declared to be witches, and were hauged outngnr. eucu episcopali ans as had found their way into the C 1 ony were, fined, whipped, imprisoned and banished, for no otheTreason tham ; that they loved to read the Prayer-book f and worship God according to the rights' ' of their fathers. t ; 1 : Never j , never, -tjnV the history of ihT j world, did. bigotry, intolerance and re-M secation reign so supreme as in Massa-;- T ehusetts. The modern literateurs and scribblers of that State ashamed of the barbarities and lunacies of their ancestors attempted, by iteration and reiteration, !' to make their readers -believe that tlieir-1 fathers fled to that land of bigots to e-- cape persecution at home. That is not; true, only in a very limited sense. Many of the first settlers of Massachusetts fled thither to escape the vegeance "of those?''' they had persecuted, whenby a fortnit-' ous concatenation of cirenrastances, theyi ; had succeeded in overturning thVgovern ? L ment of England. . True, some 'of the em ? -f f .grants from their old homes ,roay ; not ' V j have been the same who had persecuted' '1 the gentlemen of England ; and, therefore, 80 fiir as they were concerned, their expa H ti iation may have looked like persecution; ' j But as to the ism itself, the exilement of ! the Puritans was but an act of retributive : justice. -- - - : Meanwhile, con-Puritanic colonists and" adventurers from various places had set- tied on the blessed soiJ-stolen nnd robbed"7 by piractical pilgrims from the simple In diaus and, by the force of example, had i! ! somewhatUamed down the savage feroci " ty of the bigoted majority The Middle ' and Southern colonies were settled by' far different and much lietter classes of' colonists than those who first landed at ' Plymouth. - Wheu the revolution broke ont, the se ditious colony of Massachusiitts was far 1 " more obnoxious to the rule or ruin party of tho mother country than were the ' Southern colonies.- Nevertheless the gen erous hearted Southrons gallautlstep-i ped to aid their not over loved cousins of.' Psalm-sing and Quaker-burning proclivi- - ' ties. Southern blood and mind shine conspicuous ou every page of the history -of that unequal struggle. But for them, Massachusetts would have been a depen- -deucy of England,-to thisday. Iti ira- i standiug boast of the partisans of Massa- chusetts, that that colony furnishetl more . soldiers for Washington's armies than did any other colony. This is not true, as t men for the war, though it iA true that ; there were more enlistments from that : -colony than from any : other. . Three months enlistments prevailed iu that col- v ony during the stages of tho war; and Washington, in his public letters,' corn-' plained bitterly of their uselessness.- IBy ; those letters it appears that recruits were r sent to camp for instruction; and by the ' time they were assigned to regiments, their term of service expired, and away r they weut. Met half way home by high bonuties, they re-enlisted, and before they " were fit to take the field, were again dis- -charged; so that the same tneu mid boys t enlisted over, and over, again, thus add- ; iug to the roll without increasing the army. The men who enlisted for during i. the war were principally. from New Jer- A sey, Pennsylvania, Deleware, Maryland aud Virginia. The regiments of the line, from those colonies were relied upon by, Washington in mQst.,othc.battlcs and skirmishes of the revolution. The, ine ; of those colonies achieved our iudepen- deuce, aided, as they were, by. many from all the other colonies. .. . , , When a more perfect union was formed, Massachusetts lost some ofJicr liirlueoco -for evil ; but after the death of Washing ton, when two great parties sprang, up. One favoring a strong government with , despotic teudencies, the other in favor of J the largest liberty to the people, and the sovereignty of the States. Massachusetts, j Puritans sided with the Federalist,, the strong government men. JJut Democracy f and the people triumphed, and for sixty ; years, ith but a brief interruption or two, under the guidance of that party's great men the ship of state anchored in j. ptttK'iity aud peace.fDuring the can Vain of Jefferson for President when hydra- j headed Federalism was dethroned, the malignant spirit of Puritanism flamed ' out a new, and Mr. Jefferson wns the most thoroughly cursed individual . of .;. his .. times. " The purchase of Ijonsiana, by Jefferson ' aroused the bitierness of Puritanism i agaiu, because thit aihlition to our terri. tory lesened the chance of future Puritan sway. - - . , : England claimed the riglit to over hnnl our mere hau t men on the-high seas and search them for sucir seamaii as were iritish-b rn subjects, notwl hstanding thej- had renounced tlteir allegiance nnd become American citizens. - Mr. ssachnsetts clamored lustily for redress."' Thepeoplo of the middle aud southern .States again came gallantly to her aid. !, But no soon, er did she see they were in- earnest than - she changed her tunc and .whined most piteously for the tlesiugs anu gains 01 - peace, and at once leu to announcing as. -- Madibou and an tue leauing werauiraw.

She would not let her ma- : litia march out of the State, and order ed such regiments as wereiu the field, not to obey orders from the General Govern- . ment. Nevertheless, she drew on tho ' government for pay for soldiers whom sht-, . denied the right of tlio Government to control. But it was twenty-five years be fore she got her pay, and she aught neve ' to have had it.- r It was during that war that the secret Hartford Convention was held by repre sentatives from the New .England States, for tho purpose of . seceding . from ' thu Union, but the cowardly, radical Puritan io doz did not have the courage to secede.
