President-What They Propose 10 Do.
Washington Correspondence Philad'a Ledger. !
The President will fight this radical
war to the bitter end. Within one
month from the Inauguration OF our new
President, / advised you, on high au-
thority, that in no event would the radl
cal element be favored, and the whole
course of Mr.. Johnson since has proved
the correctness of that assertion. There
is no colder quarter Of the city to the de-
structiye faction than the White House
REPRESENTATIVES therefrom have called
and ..alle.l. sent in card after card, but IN
most cases the President is too busy J"
to attend to them; he is engaged ~
Their calls are less frequent of late, and
they opened the war outside. 1t Will be
futile, though not without probable Sc
rious embarrassment to the President III
carving out the work Of restoration
he has so nobly commenced Tlis is the
"new danger that threatens us' As long
ago as the 4th of July, the executive saw
the cloud of opposition 20 the poiicy
rising, and then used the above words
His sagacity-far seeing and penetra'
ting--saw it all To meet the contest he
armed at once, and planted himself
souarely on the bulwark of the Consti-
tutiou To a well-known southerner last
week. he said: MY Chart is the Consti
tution. shall not deviate a hairs
breadth if can help it. On that Con,
stitution the states must be restored, ana
the privileges which it confers must be
theirs They are entitled to them, and
they shall have them" The President
IS firmly anchored there. and it is be-
cause he has So fast hold upon the helm
of the national ship that the waves of ia
naticism and discord dashed about him.
They would beat him from his position,
but it will be " thus far and no farther,
aud they who think otherwise do not
know the pilot they are dealing with
The list Of radical complaints thus far
made ont and to be presented immedl-
ately after the opening Of Congress, is as
follows:
|. Refusal te extend negro suffrage
g. The appointment Of secessionists as
provincial governors.
3. The free exercise of the pardoning
power, wherein were Included many who
should have been hanged
a. The introduction of arms into the
Southern States.
5. The disbanding of the colored regi-
ments.
6. The refusal to order sweeping con
iiscatiOn.
Z. The restoration Of the southern
churches.
8. The refusal to arraign Lee, the lea
der of the rebel hosts, after he had been
indicted for treason.
9. The refusal to try Davis by a mill
tary court.
10. The apathy shown in the enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine as applica-
BILE to Mexico.
Such is the list so far. and there is no
that it is quite formidable, but
repeat, the President is ready not only
for the opening gun but for all the terrific
fire that is expected to follow. That the
masses-those who love
their whole country, will sustain him in
solid column, there can be no question:
and That is all the President asks. Grant
him this support, and he will hand his
name down to posterity second WASH
