SEwARD.-Mr. Senator Sumner committed a
great mistake in recently comparing the Presi-
dents special message on the condition 81
the South to the "whitewashing message Of
Franklin Pierce" on tho affairs of Kansas. This,
we think, must now be apparent to the Senator
himself He must be convinced, from the re-
marks drawn from republican and democratic
Senators, by this comparison of johnson to
poor Pierce, that it was unjust. and that dispas
sionate men of all parties have an abiding
faith in the honesty and patriotism of President
johnson. But it is little remarkable, after
the coalition between Messrs. Stevens, Of Penn
sylvania and Raymond, Of New York, in the
building Of the radical reconstruction platform
of this Congress, that the newspaper organs
especially devoted to the interests Of Mr..
Seward should be among che first and the most
jealous to denounce Senator Summer for his
outspoken hostility to the Presidents policy
and opinions.
The organs of Mr.. Seward would have u
believe that they are shocked at the Injustice
Of the Senator's illusions to the Presidents
late special message; but this, we suspect, is 3
mere pretence, and that they have other rea-
sons, lying much DEEPER for the turning OF
their guns against the Senator in question. MIR.
Sumner is chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, in which position
he has doubtless on more than one oc-
casion been brought into collision
with the Secretary Of State touching the
policy to be pursued towards England and
France during the late war. In The Senator'S
elaborate and learned discourse on our foreign
relations, at the Cooper Institute in this CITY, in
the fall of 1868, it will be remembered that he
exposed and denounced in the most effective
and decisive manner the treacherous neutrality
Of England and France, their scandalous pro-
cecdings In support Of our Southern rebellion,
including their "belligerent rights" and the
French usurpation Of Mexico. 1t will be
remembered that this bold and patriotic dis
course Of Mr.. Sumner, as against England and
France, was regarded at the time as fore
shadowing more decided foreign policy at
Washington than had prevailcddp to that date,
and that 1t might possibly involve change in
the State Department from the pressure Of tho
radical anti-Seward influence.
At all events, we conjecture that Senator
Sumner stands in the way of the Seward wire
workers, and that they are seeking not only to
upset him on The issue Of Southern reconstruc.
ton, but to destroy his influence as the Senate's
chairman on Foreign Relations. Upon this point,
however, we dare say that if Mr.. Sumner still
adheres to his foreign policy as laid down By
him in 1863 there is every probability that it
will before long be found to be more in har-
mony with the views Of President johnson than
the soothing system of Mr.. Seward, which has
served q good purpose, but which now may be
wisely cast aside.

THE MAINE DEMOCRACY recently endorsed
President johnson, in the hope thereby of
securing some of the national 'sspoiIs. Fam

President has requited these cheap profers of
good will, by appointing to, one of the most
lucrative Federal Offices in New England the
man who performed unparalleled service in
breaking down their party in the HPine Tree
State" Such rejoinder they could not have
expected. It must force upon them vivid
realization of the minfuential position which
the Opposition" in Maine now occupies. The
leaders of that organization could not be in a
better attitude for exercising the virtues of
patience and perseverance, to say nothing of
the more Christian quality of rejoicing in the
elevation of their enemies. For do they not

opponent has been appointed Collector of Bos-

~ The Louisville Journal--a paper by no
means fanatical or given to radical views OF
political economy, lets the light in, upon the
politics of that State, and particularly upon the
late election. The Journal says that the anti
amendment element in Kentucky is the seces-
sion, rebel element Every rebel in the State
voted and electioneered against the amend
ment. If only loyal citizens had voted it
{ would have been carried, fifteen or twenty
to one, adds the Jesqnal, This opposition 70
the anti-slavery addition to the national con- COZ
stitution was headed by Garret Davis, who
hopes for a reelection to the United states
Senate, by the disloyal members of the Ken e
lucky Legislature, and who, if reelected wan
undoubtedly be on eof the leading Democratic
members of the national Senate 1t is well
not to forget that the opponents to the
Republicans occupy, essentially the same
position in Kentucky, New Jersey, and
throughout the North.
