Or shall We apprehend that we may after

Caution in political matters is ever com
mehdabl. But President johnson, in BIZ,
frequent and open declarations that tn,
opinions he has 90 long entertained on q
subjects which are noe Of 20 much interes
are still unchanged, has no motive for de
cepuon. lie well knew thst BY these do
clarations he was sure to loose the favor o
controlling number Of those who, to Sc
cure their own ends, had aided in his cleo
ton. They have already withdrawn from
him their confidence. lie can never hops
, to be trusted by them again. His natura
i and only reliable position is With his elt
/ political brethren. Every intelligent mar
i will be true to hrs profession when they are
thus coupled with his interests.
. We do not attempt to dictate the course
which should be pursued; but IN present.
ing our own views We shall 1t least enter
ain the hope that the great conservative
party Of the country will now openly speak
out its sentiments and make known is
wishes on the m0mentuous subject now pre-
scented for consideration; and that every in
dlvdual will endeavor to make his influ
ence telt through new organizations Of
otherwise; that throughout the length and
breadth Of the land Will come up the a.
surance that President johnson, in his Of
forts to restore peace aud fraternity and its
wonted prosperity to country torn by esvi
,iisscnsions, will be sustained by the true
friends Of 4 fraternal Union, both At tn.
North and At the South.

leve, destined to repair and restore those
cherised institutions which have been so
fearfully shattered and seemingly overturn.
ed, and to receive the undying gratitude oi

all future ages. BE it ours to share in the
consciousness Of having contributed to tht
