Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-06-20
DI.cu,ted vI,l, Plerpont.

The following, which we clip from the
Washington dispatches Of The Pittsburgh
Commercial, shows how Governor Pierpont
and his ADMINISTRATION are already regarded
by the radicals;
fayor Of negro suffrage insglrglnla, as tne
only hope of the loyal are Judges Smeed,
Brown, Sawyer, Hall and Hawkshursts, all
of whom are thoroughly disgusted with
Governor Pierpont; and the movements OF
| the Legislature, which was secretly called
according to the plan of the secessionistsin
davs past, turns QUITO be the late Leglsla-
| ture of the restored Government of Virginia,
and not the new Legislature, under the se-l
cession control. The old Pierpont Legis-
Rture consisted or consists Of five senators
and eight Representatives. Three OF the
Senators are right, and two-iiiths OF the
House of Representatives: Ihe true men
are hopeless and tlisgusted with the whole
thing, Governor Pierpont included, and
will not go to Richmond, so that the few OF
Southern proclivities will be there to favor
Governor Pierponts projects The only
one who has gone from Alexandria and
Fairfax counties, is johnson, of Alexandria,
.of whose loyalty we have a'specirnen IN, his
persistemcy in attending the services OF, and
supporting rebel clergyman, who,
throughout the whole war, has refused to
pray for the President OF the! United States,
and who was elected from Christs Church
parsonage for his rank disloyalty. The eX-
citement OIL the subject among the loyal
men of Virginia is intense"
I Only q few days ago the radical jour Inals
teemed with the most fulsome' praises OF
Governor Pierpont, and some toadying
jenkins made the discovery that "Frank''
Is of noble birth, descended from ancestors
who fought with William, the Norman.
AS soon, however, as it is ascertained that
the Governor is sincerely desirous OF re-
storing civil SovcTiIHIenE and is IaDorlng
, successfully to that end, it is discovered
that ''he amt, no great shakes after al,
and the radicals become thoroughly as
gusted. There seem to be great many
Things nowadays, that fail to suit the
'rads." We learn that it Is not nearly SO
! fashionable among many of the clergy now
, to pray publicly for the President OF the
! United States as it formerly was. Neither
is it considered quite so dlsloyal to oppose
: the policy of the Administration, as 1t wa;
few months ago. We hear no more argu-
. ments to prove that the Administration and
the Government are identical,- and that tc
: oppose the one is to be false to the other
, The fact is, the radicals are becoming dis
gastedr now, and, possibly, opposition tC
I President Johnson's policy may soon be-
: come, In their estimation at least, the test o.
S loyalty to the Government. They are like
the person who, when asked to define or
r thodoxy and heterodoxy, replied: "Ortho
I doxy Is my doxy; heterodoxy is any othei
: mans doXy." So it seems to be with-th'
o radicals; they consider themselves to b'
a the State, their opinions are the Constitu
f ton, and their desires the law. Whoever
!, disobeys them is O traitor, no matter;wheth
{ er he be President of the United States o.
} Governor of the State of Virginia.-IVheet
