NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.
AT THE NURICDS.


President johnson has gone far enough to
get his feet vet in Rubicon which We hope
he will not cross, for II he proceeds It will
prove u Red Sea To him and his small host.
The plain question before him Is whether he
p'in cross over To The rebels, now called
Southern unionists. or keep fifth with the
Union men who elected him. That there
may be no doubt what We mean, we will state
what acts viii be regarded BY the Union men
generally as crossing over TO the rebels
!. Rcorganizing the rebel armies Of the va~
Hous rebel 6tate., under rebel officers, to pre-.
serve order between the freedmen and the
white rebels who alone commit the disorder,
thus substantially anuullIng Mr.. Lincoln's
emancipation policy.
2. Insisting that Southern rebels, as soon
rs they have asked President Johnson's par
don, stand On. the :same footing as Northern
unioniets, ind that their inchoatc State or.
gnn{zations, US soon III they havc called
convention and formed constitution satislac-
tory to the President, are TO he considered as
full-acdgcd States, having all tho rights Of

There i nothing in the nolittcal situation to
Tempt President johnson into the great error
Of 1orsaking The support Of his party in order
IN coa]rsce with the miserable wind broken
ru1np Of the Northern Copperhcad politicians
WHO dcs1fsc him. and whom he has every res
son To dtsplse, and the still more fatally used
IN rebels Of the South, whose ideas can no
more be expected to rule this country again
Than the Alla1tic Cable can be resurrecssd

confidence Of the Union party. Cut that OF
and they have indeed tEiumphed-
On The other hand let that remain 1mim
