LONDON, MOAD.II, OCT. 15, 18G6.

Mr. SumNEF. has, it seems, taken npon himself
the office of spokesman for the Radicals. He has
been delivering an address at Boston on " The One

Man in Power versus Congress," so that there should
b e no possible mistake about his subject or about

the manner in which he meant to handle it.

may easily guess the tone and temper of the
harangue, the denunciations about the abuse of
Presidential power, the fervent appeals on behalf of

the negro, are none of them difficult to imagine.
Mr. SUMNER animadverted at some length upon Mr.
JOHNSON'S conduct of the Government, and accused
him of having assumed the legislative functions.
The PRESIDENT might with some justice retort upon
his adversaries that they wish or intend to usurp the
whole administration of the State. Representing
as they do only a portion of the country, they are
ambitious not only of legislating for the whole popu-

lation, but of dictating to the Executive both with
regard to domestic and foreign policy, and of re-

constructing the famous constitution which hitherto
all parties have agreed to reverence. Mr. SUMNER
has found out a new. grievance. The present State
Governments of the South are not in accordance
with Republican form. He does not exactly tell
us what is the particular form of administration
which be considers more orthodox, but tells us that
all negyoes who hold to their allegiance are entitled
to citizenship, and he insists upon the adoption of
the Constitutional amendment. It is the fashion
now during the recess for the Radical orators and
writers throughout the country to imply that the
admission of the Southern States to Congress only
depends upon their acceptance of this much-talked-
of amendment. Those who take the trouble to
look back over the debates of Congress and the
manifestoes of the Radical party will find, however,
that no such intimation is given. It is very con-
venient to try to win the suffrages of the Moderate
party, and to throw the onus of the exclusion of
Southern
representatives upon the States them-
selves ; but there is no reason whatever to suppose
or believe that the Radical party would tolerate the
admission of the
presence of Southern members.
The Radicals would naturally object to the diminu-
tion of their political Power consequent upon the
admission of an opposing
force. They are shrewed
enough to provide themselves with a remedy should
public opinion prove too strong for them. By in-
sisting upon negro suffrage they will contrive that
the representatives of the Southern States shall be
in reality members of their own party. Should
they be unable to carry this by getting the repre-
sentation based upon population, or, iu other words,
• the blacks in calculating the re_

itself, and therefore more likely to be carried—they

In no case could the Southern members effect any.
'adlls have to
thing by themselves; what the L,
fear is their junction with the Northernic Democrats
or PRESIDENT'S party. The extreme virulence of
the ultra-Radicals cannot, of course, commend
itself to men of intelligence and reflection.
One of the great drawbacks to the American
Constitution is now making itself felt in the agita-
tion respecting the nest Presidential election, There
