President Johnson's Talk with tho south
Carolina Deiskation-Hts Restoration
Policy Com mplotely Defined. tTfT tsi-a
The remarks of President johnson to the
South Carolina delegation published in yester-
days HERALD) in reference to tho reorganiza-
ton Of South Carolina as loyal member of
the Union are the most important he has yet
delivered on the general subject, because they
completely define his position and his policy
Of restoration. His argument in favor of the
course thus laid down is clear, consistent and
convincing, and the patriotic frankness, mode
ration, generosity and frmness which mark this
convers alton with the submissive South Caroli-
mans will challenge the cordial approval of
the honest masses of all parties and sections Of
the country.
To South Carolina, regarding the eternal
fitness of things, it was eminently proper that
the New Testament in reference to Southern
State rights and the "divine institution"
Of slavery, should be little more clearly
expounded than to any Of her "erring
sisters" She was their instructor, guide and
leader In the glittering delusions Of State
sovereignty and in the fascinating enterprise
of an overshadowing Southern confederacy,
resting upon the volcanic corner stone of
slavery and the African slave trade, and ruled
over by the high and mighty King Cotton,
perchcd above the clouds on . pyramid of
cotton bales, and with ell the nations of tho
earth gathered beneath his feet. To. South
Carolina, trained for thirty odd years, and
thoroughly dyed-inthe-wool as the champion
of nullihcaton, secession, rebellion and South
ern independence, we say it was eminently
proper that President johnson should lay down
the law of submission to the Union with esps-
cial emphasis. He has thought 50, too,- and
what, therefore, he says 10 South Carolina we
may accept as covering the whole area Of the
from the Potomac river to the Mexi-
can frontier.
What, then, il the law of restoration which
he has submitted as his ultimatum to South
Carolinaf 1t is very simple and very strong.
He holds that, as no State can go out of the
Union, mono have gone out, and that accord
ingly oil that is required of him in the late re-
bellious States is to put their loyal people in
the way to the full restoration Of said States in
their constitutional rights and privileges as
Of the Union. Thus he starts from the
law OF suffrage existing in each Of said States
Just before they plunged into the morass Of
