Radicals Threatening the Pres.
Hon. James N. Ashley, Representative
In Congress from the Toledo district in
Ohio, narrates, in speech lately made in
Toledo his recent interview with Mr.. John
son, in which the President stated his Oh
jections to interfering with the question o.
negro suffrage in the South. Mr.. Ashley
says this interview WAS sought BY him will
the purpose Of presenting the views Of Tn,
earnest men, Of the country q. .. RADICAL
no ether men are in earnest in this coun
w to the President. To Mr.. johnson
remarks Mr.. Ashley responded, according
to his own report, a. follows:
II merely said to him that the Anti Slay
cry party had destroyed the old Wing an
Democratic parties that the wrecks Of thes
parties were now scattered and strcwn alon
toe political coast-and that We intended
under God, to crush any party or any ma
who stood mp against the universal cnfran
chisement Of tho country"
This is the way war Is declared, and, a
the Mississippi proclamation shows tina
Andy johnson cannot be bulled, war ma
now be considered in progress between tn
exclusively loyal party ofthe last four year
and tho President Of the United States.

took included the villages Of Rising Sun
Adslphi, and Avon in Polk county, and
Hartford, Palmyra and Carlisle in Warren
