President Johnson ana the Rad
iCals.


President Johnson and the Rad
iCais.
The radicals are becoming sick. They
are constantly more and more out of sorts
and in trouble, for President JOHNSON /
does not rest easy on theirpolitical stomachs. |
We are free to admit that we are agreeably
disappointed in the man. We feared he
would prove worse for the country than Mr..
LINCOLN, but already we can recognize q
national blessing in the elevation of Mr..
JOHNSON to the Presidency. In two months
the wheels of revolution have been turned
backward and the government is nearly
regulated The rebellion is ended and the
country restored to order. The dark and
damning acts of tyranny, oppression and
usurpation of the past four years arc almost
ended. A man and a statesman at the helm
of State, and with the Constitution for a
guiding star, most nobly does the good old
ship skim the troubled waters, and millions
of Americans, North and South, bid her
GoD SPEED, and point with pride to the
careful nayigator--to the firm and awlov-
ing President JOHNSON.
There is n difference between simply n
good fellow and statesman. There is a
happy difference between man Of nerve
and man of jokes. There is a difference
between the statesman who draws his inspi-
ration from the Constitution, and one who
draws it from the negro.
The blessings of peace, the growing re-
spect for law and order and the many omens
of general prosperity admonish us that the
death of President LINCOLN has proved a
blessing for the country.
The grand display made over Mr.. LIN
COLIN $ death by the radicals was not half 50
much in mourning for the dead as to pile
up abolition sentiment before the new Pres
idcnt. The grand funeral pageant was more
to manufacture opinion than to honor the
dead. The idea was to lead the now prcsi-
dent to think the land had gone wild with
grief, and had become abo,itionzed But
the scheme was too grand. 1t was patent
on the face.
The new President has closed his ear tt
abolitionists. lie has raised his eyes to thu
Constitution. lie has sworn to do his duty
and the oath is being respected. The radi
Gals are shorn of their influence. Where i
BANKS? Where is GREELEY? Where i
PHILIIps? Where is BEN. WADE? Whcr
is CHASE? Where is Beast BUTLER?
Where is Negro? Where is the army q
Constitution hating sycophants who CON
manded LINCOLN and tattened at his hands
Gone-all gone
Marvellous changes have been wrought
We hear fewer stories than we did. Ther
are not so many delegations Of New Eng
land ministers, puritans and other nogroe
filing into the white house as there were
There is not so much creaking of priso
hinges as there was. Men, innocent mer
do not lay in prisons, forts, bastilos an
dungeons as they once did without trial. -
The country is not covered with militar
courts as il once was. Men are not mohbeC
Kidnapped and murdered of late weeks a

Offices are more secure than before the deaf

We have news of civil courts, speedy trial
and respect to law at headquarters.
Men work with better heart than the
did President JOHNSON says our taxC
must be paid that there shall be rctrencl
ment and reform that the laws must
respected and enforced that stealing mu
be stopped and thieves punished. For I
of which VIC have great reason to be than
ful, and to praise President JOHNSON
No wonder abolitionists declare they wis
LINCOLN had lived and JOHNSON had de'
No wonder they denounce him as Soutl
ern sympathizer, endcavoring to defeat Il
darling objects for which they urged on Il
war.
The new President acts much like IL Den
