Few York 'Iiraes cn the President.

! Jnhns0nS Democratic policy OF rCcEr
strnction, and anxious rather for IL,
ttriunFh Of. sound pin iples than fc
THE precise node by which the sesu|t i
ltahc q t1incd. VI have not lcen in
1'clire TO reject the support given t.
tie Prcs:d ut by eertain section Il
the Republican party. We are glcr
to see these abating somewhat from
the ferocious spirit, ard settle dow,
upon the principles Of moderation, Lar.
rpony and justice, by which alone tho
Union can be ccmcntod and the coun-
try attain real peace. Among these
we have been greatly pleased TO See
the New York Times leading occa.
sional support to tho Executive, and
many Of its utterances show such an
improvement on what has gone before
that'we had hoped ere long to witness
it become sound national paper.
But we do not know how to reconcile
this apparent reform with the implaca
lie and unjust temper sometimes cyinc-
ec toward that great party upon which
the President must mainly depend fo,
the success Of the policy on which he
has stakel his reputation az q statcs-
uian and a patriot. Ia recent NUS
ber Of the Times we fr.d the follow
ing: go
The aim Of this Democratic move
IN ent is to break up the Unicu party.
to destroy those who have been PreS-
ident Johnsou's only friends hitherto.
and t., get him into their full and ex-
elusive control. If they can DO this.
they, and not ie are thenccf rth mas
ters of The situation. They propose to
repeat upon him precisely the sane
trick which they practieoJ with such
brilliant success upon John Tyler and
MiIlard Fillmore. Both Of these Vice
Presidents were taken up hy the De
mocraci. when the Presidents with
whom they had been elected died. The
policy Of both was endorsed and the
supporters Of both were dcnca lccd.
Both were 1ettcrei with the premise
Of q Dcmccratir nomination, and both
were weak enough to listen and WELD
to the Temptation. Both were used
unscripulously to bctray their princi-
Piles and their friends, and when the
time came, both were rcmor selessly
thrown, like squeezed oranges, into the
gutter. The game they are plaving
upon President Johnson is p~ecisely
the same" &c. ..,.. .,,..n
Now this is avery imprulent ard
illadyised article. We cannct imagine
that Mr.. Weed or Mr. Raymond con-
Sented to it, but they ought to be too
careful to let articles Of this character
appear in a journal possessing such
peculiar personal relations as does tie
New York Times. Reduce the ar.i.
Gle to its substance, ard the amount ol
1t is: that Mil!ard Fillmore and
John Tyler were traitors to their party
and their principles; they were made
by a Democratic promise that they
should be reelected: they were used
andthen discarded, after being weak
enough to yield to temptation"
Ergo, President Johnson, who is re
garded as ia imminent danger Of being
scduced from the paths of virtue by
the syren voice Of Democracy, is ad
monfshed to be good boy, to stick te
the Republican 5. and not to dream ol
re-nomnati tion, lest he in turn come te
grief. BE vir,uous and YOU will be
happy" Such is the Times advice
to the President. .s ...r sr
Now if there, be man who hat
shown his ability to get along wisely
and we'll without superauous guam ii
ty Of advice, and to dispense with lead
ins strings, We suspect the party il
the present occupant Of the Whit,
House. President johnson has som,
time ago comecto years Of discretion
We imagine he does not trouble him
self much about sugge stions ofrcnon
| ination. or even the nice.lsid schonoo,
