WASHINGTON, Sept II, 1865
THE POLICY OF ExrEDrEScY-DAsGERs FROM
CONGRESS.
There is great dissatisfaction among the
loyal masses with tho Presidents. reconstruc;
tion policy. Who will deny it ? But where
u its uttcrnnce? Where are the protests and
circumstances, written and verbal, the indi'
Tfdual and collective voices, that should be
/ addressed, IN warning md e1post tulattng tones,
| to The White House! Instead Of an impress
i've .coDcert Of popular demonstrations, as yet
but here and there expressions Of dtsapproba-
tion are heard. In the East, the so-called
great organs Of public opinion, remain dumb,
But for the late resolutions Of the Massachu.
setts State Convention, the universal silence
would be still unbroken, giving the impress
sion Of mute assent to all the President says
aud does Even his decree sustaining Cover
nor Sharkey'e enrolment Of the rebel militia
Of Mississippi, has not aroused either Repnbli-
can journals or leaders In the East, 10 posi-
tive utterance Of opposition. But In the great,
progressive, large-heasted, manly West, the
policy Of blind 'acqutescence 1s being already
abandoned. And 1t is no small satisfaction to
all true men here, to know that the old. tried
erer faithful champion of truth and Justice,
the Chicago TRIBUNE, Is again leading tho
van IN the urgently needed counter-current OF
public opinion.
