The radicals have already begun thelr
war upon the President because he does
not favor the violation of his oath in Or

ple of the Southern States, WENDELL
PHILIaPsis dissatisfied, He thinks itffe
blacks mist be allowed tovote now, i'm
mediately. lie is impatient he thinks
it will take twenty years Of agitation TO
induce the people to extend the right OF
.urrage to the negroes, and he is not dis
posed to wait. He wants Mr. JOHNSON
to say it shall be so, at once, n threat
ems all manner of terrible things if the
President refuses to follow his advice
He made a speech in Boston a few days
ago, which is reported thus:
wendell Phillips, as Chairman ofthe
Rnsiness Committee, reported a resOlu-
tion to the effect that it is the settled
onin;on of the Convention that the re-
s,~.onstrnction of the rebel States without
NEGRO suffrage is a practical surrender to
h C~onfederacy, and will make the ants
slavery proclamation, OF, the, late PresiT
dent. and even the expected amendments
cfthc Constitution utterly inefficient for
the freedom and protection of the Negro
race. Mr.. Phillips supported the resolu-
ton in a vigorous speech. Hecontended
that slavery was abollshed, ana tna! the
reconstruction policy Of the @dministra-
tion, as set forth in the proclamation for
the reconstruction of North Carolina,
was an absolute surrender OF the helm OF
The Union into the hands OF Alexander
II. stephens and his co.wOrkers. Recon-
struction on hat basis wasa practical
fraud upon the North. Erery life and
,re,y collar then had spent had been stolen
FAM them. There was. but n way in
Which the people could Still hold the
lelm of affairs and that was q declare

Senator SUMNER ia also o the war
path" He says that without negro Snf
trage, " there is nothing but insecurity
for the colored people, instability for The
FOCAL governments, and weakness for the
luion, involving, of course the national
credit" We published, a few days ago,
his plain directions" to the negroes OF
North Carolina, telling them that they
were entitled to all the rights and I'M
munities of white citizens, and bidding
them to regard him as "a nsurper and al
imposter" who would deny them thr ez-
srcise of those rights
The probabilities are that those who
have heretofore contended that ornosi
1ion TO the President is disloyalty 10 the
Government, will soon be loud in their

and bitter in their opposition TO his pol
