THE PRESS ON THE SITUATION.

| Very few of the influential journals of the
country have thought proper at present to
take any very decided position calculated to
create division amongst our friends at Wash
ington. The New York Erening Post as
sumes that there is no necessary antagonism
between the position of majority of Con-
gress and that of the President, and condemns
as factious the onslaught of Mr.. STEVENS.
The New York Tribune holds that the
President simply acted within his proper
sphere in making recommendations to Con
gress in pursuance of the provisions of the
Constitution of the United States, and con-
demns Mr.. SUMMERS remarks as unjust as
well as uncalled for The Tribune says:
We find in the text of this Message no ade-
quate reason for Mr.. Summers denunciation
oft. If the President has demanded of Con-
gress that it act on his judgment rather than
Its own. then he would have acted unwarrant-
ably; but, as he has simply given his own
view ofthe existing situation, with his res-
sons for suggesting a particular course. he
deserves neither denunciation Or obloquy.
Two great ends are now in view: /. The
restoration of the States lately in revolt to
tleIr former position in the Cniou; 2. the
protection of their freedmen from future OPP
preston and outrage. We are in favor of
both these. We are opposed to keeping the
Southern States::nde6nitely in the condition
of conquered provinces or territories; we are in
favor of requiring and providing guarantees for
the protection and rights of their freedmen.
There may be those who fancy that they are
favoring the Freedmen by calling for the exc
cution ofthe Rebel chiefs, the confiscation of
Rebel property. and the perpetuation of
Southern pupilage-or rather, ,:vassalage but
we believe there is a kinder and surer way of
reaching the end we aim at. We see not how
we could help the freedmen by making war
either on the President or on the Rebels who
have thrown down their arms. Where we
find either in fault, we do not hesitate to say
So but we judge that the true interest Of the
blacks is TO be subserved by cultivating the
kindliest relations with both.
We trust there will be developed in Con-
gress the suavity and practical sagacity re-
quired to secure at once an early restoration |
Of the Southern States and perfect and per- |
petual guaranty Of the essential rights Of |
Manhood to their Freedmen. And we still |
hope to see Congress and the President CO.
operate in securing these bene6cent and no.
wise inconsistent ends.
