The preent tatut at the country, both North Mil South, call for the efforts of tli wisest nd most virtuous statesmen of the land, to protect noil preserve our re publican institution from utter overthrow. Kepabli-an institutions are unsafe iu the baud of the hitherto controlling leaders of lieiisiila' 'JteprtrflrM or Radical partjr. Like the coutrolling leaders of progressive Democracy, they arc potent to tcr down, hut impotent to build up Indeed, we honestly believe that Kepubli can institutions are uusale in the bauda ut any party, inflated with success, puffed up, proud and vaunting, with ideas of mere partizan greatness, which ignore the true safety aurl true gloiy of the He public. Hence our opposition to South' eni pcbple connecting themseVcs with auy ol the paitiee in existence. The country needs the fostering hand of a new party, not infatuated l.y new ideas, new principles, Ulitiied and dubious the eina nation of an unaouud phihiMiphy or a phrenzia4 fanaticism but a party basing iu foundation upon the tried and well tested principle of old Knglii.li and American liberty, adapted, it you please, to aound ideas of real development and pmgfrrtt, strained, like pure honey, of all and corruption It needs a genuine Republican party, hound with cords of sled to a Constitutional Union, a true, unselfish friend ol lilicrly and progress, sud ahicb will not compromise its patri oiic devotion to the interests of the whole country and the whole people t.,r the lower and baser purposes of party ism The extracts from the New York Am,, which we give lo-day, exhil.il the wclcomi truth, that some Northern Republicans an In-ginning to wake to the real character "I the situatiou. However honest and patri itic those Republicans may have been, who lavnr the lolicy ol Congress, it is palpable they never counted the cost or fully c.tima teil the impending dangers to the peace and prosperity of the country, ami to the cxis tence of sound republican institutions, on sequent upon the -iiccc-is of the Ita.liuul policy.

The white race Ins been fully alive " this defective uniuhootl in the whites. Hence, Uittil the growth of a jiuigut and puerile statesmanship, under the manipulations of partisan trickery, abolished the conservative and necessary distinctions as to suffrage, n.-ceaeary to the protection ol republican institutions, evcu all white men were not admitted to that franchise. , in preset ving (hat highest privilege of Mnjna Charta, held by every Englishinau and by every American citizen, as iheNcap-stnne t.i liberty iuelf, the right of every man to trial by a jury of. hit peers has Uen so awfully gtiar ded, that it has never Wn In Id that every white man Was'ehtifled to sit In a jury bo Let ua take care, lest, in bolthiug all dis tinctiims arising from irtjuJife as to color, WH abolish also those evident distinctions set up srtlong und betweeu men by God himaell, and those high moral did. reuci-s v between merit ami demerit, virtue aud Vice, truth and a lie, that American liberty was built upon, sud thus sap the vvjv foundation! of the entire fabric of repubb ut government, till Die Republic totters to it fall, never to rise again. ... sMAUUUt.tu legiater, where r.-gn try is possible, is a rivet in the bauds which Radicalism is endeavoring to pi-'' '!'"u, the liberties ol the South.

We have repeatedly asked the RaiHeal Press to tell us what are the principle! of their party, what they hold Ui be good, sound political doctrine. Our appeals have been un-answeretl. As it is important, in view of approaching events, tliat the prin ciples of the Radical party should be ii, plicitly defined, we group them as follows, as they present themselves to our mind, and in the abseuoe of any authoritative exposi tion ou the part of thu oracles of the party To make the South subject to African rule. To perpetuate the Republican party. To subordinate all branches of govern ment to the Legislative. To destroy the Supreme ( ouit. To remove the President lor ol mg the Constitution. To establish the right of I 'ongress to create or destiny Slates at pleasuie. To make civil subordinate to militaiv g o Vellllllellt To exclude all opponents from seals in Congress And so on to the end of an interminable chapter, which, if continued, would recite confiscation, pioscription, Jtc, Jtc.
