HOW THEY HATE THE PRESIDENT

The real feeling of the republican party Is
bitterly hostile to President johnson and
the time Is not far distant when the leaders
will acquire sufficient bodness to express
their hatred, and openly denounce his policy,
The honest sentiment of the party Is tor open
war at once, but the cringing office holders
bag for delay. Some of their organs, how
ever. will not be kept still. The Milwaukee
Sentinel. edited by G. w. Willard, the pres
ept nominal editor of the Montpelier Free
man, referring to the presidents late speech
TO the southerners, published by US last week,
says:
What can the president of the United States
representing the loyal portion OF that peoPle-or
at least elected to represent them-mean when he
SAYS to a body of traltors-no matter whether they
sre neultent rebels not-tnat s'the decision mas
been against US ~ And how long 1t since tr as
on, in President Johnson's mind, has been so!t-
90 INTO an .stssue p, Why need
the chIet magistrate OF the nation mouth hoheyeo
com piiments TO the heartlness, and irankness1 OF
the rebels and speak OF them as 'true to their an
Gent instincts of frankness, and manly honor ~
It may be pleasant for President Johnson To oahoy
rom ailments with these defeated traitors, TO &C
cept from them the assurance OF the personal
regard'' OF the people OF nine southern states 10
praise the entire south-Wertz, DAVIS, NIndeE,
Turner Floyd, Thompson, and the whoIe crown
of traitors who violated every sacred obligation,
as having done their work ''neart-
ily and frankly and as ''true to their national
instincts OF frankness and manly honor" but the
people VINO have Iought, ami suffered, TO save the
country will hardly applaud the speech
We do not care to comment al length upon thls
Unexpected, and extraordinary, Did OF ffesIoeh'
Johnson ior southern popularity
The above is an expression OF the real splr-
it of hatred towards the president that ran
kles in the hearts of the republican leaders.
They utterly condemn him tor the position
he has taken towards the south. They be-
lieve in retaining ''their grip on the south
ern states, through military force, until all
their dem ands are complied with. But they
dare not 90 before the people with that Is
she real issue made By their orators and
through their presses! For some time yet
they will dodge, and sneak, but the flame
cannot always be smothered BY tie ONCE
holding politicians; it will eventually break
out into open warfare with the admlnlstra-
ton Vermont Patriot.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1865-10-05

One of the southern newspapers has been
collecting from all sources the vast mass of
criminal and immoral news regarding New
York. This is probably in retaliation for
publications in the north showing the demon
allied condition of southern society. The
New York Times says of it:
s'It makes, of course, "a frghtful exhibit; and the
southern people who read It, and know nothing
further ofNew York may well come to the conolu-
sion that society here is utterly putrd. There is
no doubt, however that 1t gives accurate idea
OF the condition of things in this city, much of
the southern news printed here gives of the condI-
rion of things in the south.''
1t was by precisely such means that "a
generation was educated to hate the south"
Helpers impending crisis, Endorsed and rec
commended for circulation by majority of
the republican members of congress, and 9TH
or kindred works, were intended to excite
prejudice against the southern people by rep
resenting the general society of the south to
be what the exceptional facts, Joined with the
unblushing falsehoods contained in such phil
anthropic literature, indicated. The confess
sion In the extract should lead northern moral
retermers and philanthropists to inquire if
they had nat better ''clean their own door
steps" before looking after bretheren of any
color or persuasion in the south.

ALL the senators and representatives In
congress from Connecticut are republicans
a large maj ority OF tae people Oh Connectl-
cut have just decided that negroes shall not
vote In that state There are but few there ,
but few as they are, they shall not vote
Will the senators and representatives in con-
gress from Conne5Siods sustain pOiIcy as
20 the southern states winch their own state
has repudiated as 20 itself W III they, afSer
their own people have voted that they will
not have negro suffrage impose It upon other
people? Connecticut would not have telt
negro suffrage one way or the other, and
migh. safely have adopted it as a mere prac-
tical measure Not SO the southern states !;
they have immense negro popuiauons,-in
some of them, and in many of their counties,
the negroes are majority,-and to impose
negro suffrage upon Thorn would be, to say
the very least, to subject them to very haz-
ardous experiment. We repeat, Will Con-
necticut, by her senators and representatives
in congress, force upon the south, under
these circumstances, that which she will not
huve herself?
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1865-10-05

IT is significant that the first battle on the
question of negro suffrage has gone against
the African. The people of Colorado have
knocked the negro suffrage clause out of their
state constitution by vote of about five to
one. Thisis in accordance with the former
teachings of the repu blican leaders, when
they said that the territories must be reserved
for the enterprise OF free white labor. Colo
RADIO has done well, She has refused to de-
grade herself Sac has declared that her
government, at least, shall be white mans
government.
