WASHINGTON, Nov. 81.
The Washington Intelligencer of this morn
ing has second article deSbuncing the speed
ofSchuyler Coliax as antagonistc to the vie WI
of President Johnson, and as indicating de
sire to exclude the Southern members duriu,
the session of Congress.
The Time has come, says the htelligencer
to throw away DISCUSSES. Let gentlemen
range themselves fairly and squarely unde
their banners. The President has policy tina
looks to immediate restoration, recognizing
first that the States are intact second, tina
duly returned members of Congress shall b
returned such by the Clerk of the House
and third, that no test oath shall be suffere,
to debar constitutionally qualified member
from taking their seats in Congress- Tn
administration has policy clearly and sharp
ly defined, and this cannot be supplanted b.
the diplomatic antiquities of politicians.
The above statement may be by authority
but it is known that the national policy, pro
muligated by Mr.. Colfax meets the approva
OF u majority of the members of Congress
and President Johnson has recently express
ed himself as desdedly averse to the iecogni
ton Of Southern congressman, SO long a
they and their constituents fail to submit
promptly and without reservation to the con
ditons which he has imposed. ] do not be
lieve that tkere will be any division between
the Executive and tn loyal Congressmen.
