tiOn.
The great work of the restoration Of the
late rebel States in the hands Of President
Johnson goes on smoothly and with the most
aattering promises Of success From all the
Southern delegations waiting upon him we
have the same voice:-"We are beaten. We
submit to the consequences Of our defeat We
recognize the extinction Of our Southern con-
federacy and the dogma of State sovereignty,
upon which 1t was founded, and the abolition
of slavery. We recognize the paramount
sovereignty of the United States. We desire the
restoration Of our State to the full benefits Of
the general government on this basis. We ask
you, Mr.. President, TO give us q provisional
governor, to provide us with courts Of justice,
and to put US in the way of the reorganization
of our State upon the terms and restrictions of
your amnesty proclamation and other procla-
nations upon the subject We are in your
hands, Mr.. President. We bow to your autho-
rity. We rely upon your justice and magma
ninity. We accept your terms. We need
your assistance, 'and we come to ask it, and to
learn what we arc to do"
This is the voice of South Carolina, and the
voice of her "erring sisters" from Virginia to
Texas. There is no anti-admnistratiOn party
in the late insurgent States. The most fiery and
the most confident and powerful supporters OF
the Davis despotism are now competing with
the staunchest Southern loyalists for friendly
recognition by President johnson. Thus far,
then, he sails before the wind. All troubles are
at an end among the Southern politicians. They
have passed through the fiery furnace Of an
awful revolution, and they are but as helpless
children in his hands. But there is trouble
rising in another quarter. The radical abolition
faction of the North, slavery being abolished,
have mounted their new hobby Of negro suf-
frage, and they threaten to "ride it rough shod"
over the Southern States, and over the admin
istraton If it shall presume to stand in the way.
What is to be dones This Northern radical
faction, we know from experience, is no trifling
adversary. We see already that under their
experienced and active leader, Chief Justice
Chase, his followers are skilfully arranging
their plans East, West and South-radical in the
East, cautious ia the West, suggestive in the
South-but everywhere working to the same
purpose. They will carry this issue Of negro
suffrage into the coming Congress- They will
make II the test in both houses Of the restora-
ton ofevery rebel State. What then Why, then,
it Is quito possible that the Southern States now
excluded from Congress will remain 80 for two
State elections for the succeeding Congress;
but the Congress now elected holds good till
the 4th of March, 1867, and 1t was elected az a
radical abolition Congress. Now, 1t Is unques.
tionably the true policy Of the late rebellious
States to get back into Congress this next win
ter, If possible, in order 10 look after the int
rests of their States and people, in connection
with taxes, tariffs, appropriations, &c; but how
is this to be dones ". have the answer al
hand.
President johnson, ander certain carefully
considered limitations in reference to loyalty,
has adopted the policy Of leaving this question
of negro suffrage to the discretion of the adj
