Glowly but surely has President johnson
ppursued his policy for the restoration Of
the Union, nor, whether attempted to be ca
joled by sickly adulation, or dragooned by
menaces, does he deviate from the path
marked out. He is to-day fighting the bat
tie Of Republic of United and Co-equal
States against consolidated despotism.
Guided by the light of the Constitution, he
is pursuing the only course which will restore
permanent Union. His conservatism sur
ptises, as well as delights the people Of the
Southern States, who had been led to ex-
pect stern and bitter fate, and will make
them the firm friends Of permanent Union,
while his conciliatory measures must and will
rebound to the everlasting praise of Republi-
can Governments. Not only does his con-
servatism and Cancellation meet with the COR
dial appreciation Of the people of the South,
but the Democracy of the North have COM
mended and endorsed his policy and the con-
sentative Republicans Of the States of New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, recognizing
the fact that, the question of slavery being
removed from the political arena, there only
remains wise, conservative and conciliatory
policy to be pursued to reunite the old Re-
public on firm and lasting basis, have also
endorsed his policy of restoration.
While the President is receiving the assis-
lance Of the conservatives of tn" North, the
South must add her voice in sustaining him,
by sending, as her representatives., men who
have not been leaders in the Secession move
ment, or in any way identified with its ex-
trcme measures. By such course, the
Northern radicals, whose ranks are daily
dwindling away, will find but meagre NOR
sci, in the newly elected representatives of
the South, upon which to feed their fanati
cal followers. In fact we believe they will,
as a matter Of self preservation, 60 over
"horse, foot and dragons to the conscrva-
t.ves.
The people Of the South must look well to
their interests in the selection of their repre-
sentatives, and if they be but true to them
selves, their section and the whole country,
in the coming elections, far brighter day
Will dawn upon ,is
