Davis. In the same time we have
seen Andrew Johnson, the most de.
tcrmlncd enemy Of secession, pardon

gentlemen Of that school for doing
HIM the honor" to visit him and
talk over matters. 1t is even more
singular to note the moderate tone
OF such men as Gen. Cox. of Ohio.
ana Gen. Slocum, Of New York,
who have fought the Union battles
with such unconquerabc zeal. Yet,
forall they appear to agree in senti,

Other is Il candidate Cor State Office

burg, August 3lst, 1868, and it is
addressed to Joan A. Greene, ir.-
bitter and uncomprom;sing Dem
ocrat: "I would state that am in
favor of the principles which appear
thus far to have governed Pre- sidcnt
johnson with regard to the Southrcn
States, that is, to allow those States,
70 decide who shall and WHO shall
not be entitled to TIE right of suff.
rage.
SIN few words. am in favor Of
returning, at the earliest practicable
period, to q government Of civil law.
| believe Tie true interests Of the
country demand more economical
administration of alf.,irs, and an eff
fort to reduce the national debt, the
substitution OF civil for military
courts. and II more careful observ.
ance of the constitutional rights of
States and individuals.
elf these views are such as will
be endorsed by your Convention,
and if the Convention should nomin-
ate me for Secretary ofStatc, I shall
accept the nomination.
Tie is in favor of the Presidents
policy and the Democratic party, and
yet the President has shown no feel.
ing Of affinity for the Democracy.
On the other hanG, many of that par
ty continue violently to oppose Mr..
johnson, and the same is true. of
miserable small section Of the Union
party.
The onl y reasonable conclusion is,
these things mean that the really
patriotic element of the Democratic
party is scekin. afiiliation with the
Unioni-.s. ans: :ha. those Demo.
Gratis are coming to Mr. johnson.
There are two factions representing
the orisiLal disnn ion and secession
