The daily clarion. [volume] (Meridian, Miss.) 1863-1866, 1865-11-30

Of heroes and statesmen who dazzed the world,
And dared to the top Of Fame's ladder to iu.b.
And though in the struggle thousands have fallen,
SIN their memory will live none the less;
History ill record the bright deeds Of the martyrs
And God will this glorious land ever bless.
President J Johnson and the new Congress
Signs OF ''zrrepressIble Conflict"
The elections being over, the pol |
iticians on all sides are beginning TO show |
their hands For example, we have |
in their i. sues OF yesterday some very
broad hints from both the Times and the |
Tribune of this city touching the in
superable difficulties in the way of the
recognition by Congress of Southern re-
construction under President Johnscn's
programme. One of these journals rep
reseuls the radicals and the other the so
called conservative wing Of the repuhs
Iican party but in this case, although
they start out upon different roads, they
are evidently aiming at the same object
and to arrive at the same destination.
The organ of the radicals, indignant
and disguised, takes very spltetul view
of the results of President Johnson's re-
storatiyes. They are all quack med~
icines, according to Professor Greedy

The rights OF Jurors, but even the rights

rebels almost put Wade Hampton into
the Gubernatorial chair" and oply
adopted the constitutional amendment
by compulsion." In North Carolina
Worth is elected Governor because
Holden was the choice OF the President"
"What one State" asks the tribune,
after this summing up, what southern
State has accepted all the president S
nropositions Not one and for this
reason only. that the rebels will not con
cede one lot or title towards recon-
STRUGGLING Union that does not eternlze
slavery and strengthen the power or the
slaveholders." The conclusions are
reached at length, that ''the first fruits
of reconstruction promise most deplo>
rabIe harvest, and the sooner we gamer
the tares, pillow the ground again and SOW
new seed the better.
