The Iniustfce OF the North.

1t seems exceedingly difficult to induce
Northern editors to believe that the people
of tive South have abandoned finally and
forever, all idea of further resistance to the
constituted authorities of the land. These
editors believe that there is no such thing in
any Southern Slate-exrept in rare ind,d.
ual cases-as sincere and honest loyalty to
the Government of the Union. Though our
people, with almost entire unanimitv, have
sole,nnly subscribed to the oath of amnesty,
and though not man in the Southern coun,
try is now Ia arms against the Government,
and though not one, even in his widest
dreams, thinks of making war upon the
Union again. yet those doubling patriots at
the North, with a view to perpe'uate mill
lary rule at the South and to promote the
radical faction at the North, pretend to stand
in constant dread of the outbreak of another
tremendous rebellion in the Southern States.
The people of the North have no just
ground whats"ever-not even a rational pre-.
text--for disrustng the sincerity and loyal
ty Of the Southern people. The war is over
the contest has been decided against the
South and as honorable men, the people of
the South accept the result AS final, to be
acqni-sred in in the most perfect good faith.
And 'hs is true, not in respect to the people
Of one or two only IF the Southern States,
but Of all, without exception

The BREAKING UP OF THE UNION PARTY.
The editorial correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin, writing from Washington
City, whittier lie went to get posted upon
political movements, says the tendency to-
ward the reconstruction Of parties, and the
complete dsorganization of the Union party
is too plain at the Capital city to escape OBJ
servation. lie says:
"Ihe elements Of party reconstruction are
already rife. They grow out of the discor-
dant views upon the policy of Southern
during the continuance of The war generally
acted together. Their differences of sen,.
ment are radical and rreconcabe as they
certainly are natural. 1t is in regard TO the
question Of negro Suffrage that the contest is
most sharply defined. Mr. johnson has As,
sumed that suffrage is a matter belonging
exclusively to the States themselves; and de-
| cliues therefore to make it a condition pr-ce,
dent to the re.assumpri"n of their functions
and rights within the Union that late rebel
States shall extend suffrage to the negro
|
| Chase, Greeley, Ben. Butler, and Wendell
Phillips school demnr. urging that the black
freedmen are part of the people of the South
and that when the President interposes to
! provide means by which late rebel States
shall formally return to loyalty, it is bis
rlght and his duty TO see TO it that thera
shall he no restriction Of suffrage which shall
exclude any portion of the people, black or
white"
The writer safely concludes that the policy
of the President will be sustained by the peo
pie, and the radicals, Chase, Sumner Il Co.,
be overthrown.
The N. York Commercials special Wash
ington correspondent also SAYS, "leading pol
itcians Of the Republican party have gath
cred in that city, to consider their policy in
the fall elections and the new Congress-
The differences of opinion are wide and ex
cite angry controversy. ThurIow Weed is
playing prominent part. lie has warned
the radicals that they will be displaced from
power if they press their extreme views upon
the people. 1t is doubtful whether the con.
tlictng elements can be harmonized. Sena.
tor Wilson, on behalf of the New England
Republicans, seems to refuse all compromise.
His plan is to induce the party majority in
Congress TO resist the admission of the
Southern States. and virtually appeal to the
people against President Johnson's policy
Leading New York Republicans have had in.
terv'ews with Secretary Seward, with whom
