w&
ration policy of our excellent President
Andrew johnson, may be stated very s
briefly. It demands: e
1st. The abandonment of the secession, !
State-rights theory of government.
I'd. The abrogation of Slavery from
the Constitutions of the States recently
in rebellion.
3D.. The establishment of the freed
men on such terms of equality under
the law, as will secure to him a right to
sue and be sued, and to give testimony in
the courts, as also to insure him from be-
ing placed again in bondage or under any
regulation incompatible with perfect
freedom.
On these three distinct and fundamen-
tai requirements, is the Administered alton
plan of rehabilitation based. None OF
them can stand alone, but there must be
perfect acquiescence in each and all.
That party which adheres to them as q
whole, which supports them most vigo-
rously, earnestly and honestly, is the
party on which Mr.. johnson must de-
pend. And whatsoever political organ
ization merely pretends adherence to
these, while It's words and sympathy are
in opposition to it's an opposition Inc
will and must be so regarded in Wash
ington.

Union cause, your innocence IS a pardon

n SIR: During a recent visit to the stock
ade at Florence, in this State; foundt the
grave of a female from your city. Upon
inquiry I learned she was brought there

" sex was net discovered until shortly before
b her death. She stated her nam to be
o Florina Budworth, and that she had resi-
ded in Philadelphia. I could not learr
to what regiment she had belonged. She
