And old Thaddeus Stevens the clear-sighted and courageous "Old Commoner" followed up Spalding, and struck very close to the root and animus of the Democratic opposition, when he exclaimed: "All this struggle by calm and dignified and moderate 'Patriots; all this clamor against 'Radicals; all this cry of 'the Union as it Was, and the Constitution as it Is; is but a persistent effort to reestablish Slavery, and to rivet anew and forever the chains of Bondage on the limbs of Immortal beings.
