NEW YORK. HERALD, S
Tae Administration and Chief Justice
Chase.
The radical negro suffrage agitators continue
their intrigues and double-dealing against the
administration of President johnson, and are
already trying to prove that his reorganization
policy is a failure. In carrying out their pecu-
liar tactics they take great pains to present to
the public plausible yarns in regard to the adj
ministraton, and thus attempt to show that the
President will soon unite with them In their
policy for the treatment Of the South. The OBJ
jeot of this is apparent to the mere casual OBJ
son has struck the popular chord and drawn to
him the support ofthe great mass Of the people Of
the North by his wise and practical reconstruc-
ton policy They well know that II they como
out boldly and announce themselves direct and
open opponents to his administration that they
will be 80 overwhelmingly repudiated by the
people that no resurrection will ever reach them.
They, therefore, are zealously laboring to Gre
ate the impression that the President thinks as
they do, and will at some future day adopt
their policy. They hope in this way to secure
the support of class of our citizens by making
them believe that they are really carrying out
Mr.. Johnson's views. But this device Is too
barefaced to deceive any person. They only
adopt this programme in order that they may
the better accomplish their designs in prevent
ing the success of the reorganization policy Of
the government. Under the plea of friendship
they are doing all that lies within their power
to defeat the adjustment Of the South, and con-
tinue the whole country in an unsettled and
uncertain condition as long "a possible.
The whole faction, from Chief Justice Chase
down, are devoting their time and energy in
assailing the President and his policy in an
underhapd Wa, sGa i1s no opportunity slip to
denounce his plans and encompass their defeat
Thus. Senator Sumner, who cou9selled TIE
negroes of North Carolina to exercise the rights
of the elective frarchise, declaring that all who
opposed them were tfsir ehemies is now trying
to create the impression that President John
son sanctioned that course. In this he has the
double object of trying to cover up the real de-
signs Of the Jacobin faction and to create dis
trust in the public mind in regard to Mr.. john
sons course. In all their movements, let their
plea be what it may, the same animus underlies
them all-and that is, the defeat of the constitu-
tional reorganization and early adjustment of
the Southern States. To this end all their labors
President will not suffice to hide their schemes
from the public. Chief Justice Chase not only
spends his time travelling around the country
intriguing against the policy Of the govern
ment, but sends his agents to conventions to
stir up mischief and endeayors, through the In
ternal Revenue and Custom House officials, to
manufacture public opinion and manipulate
the republican party. The great object of all
the labors Of the Jscobin faction is in some way
to Illustrate the peaceable settlement Of our
national difficulties, and, under the plea Of
philanthropy for the negro, keep up the confn-
sion in the South until they can force universal
negro suffrage upon the country. Having
adopted this revolutionary programme they
are endeavoring to secure its success, regard
less of the consequence or effect upon the
nation.
Chief Justice Chase, In his recent speeches,
sneers at tho policy of President Johnson, be-
cause he sees in that policy remedy for the
evil which he Chase desires to force upon the
country. Under the Presidents plan of adj
justing the Southern States to the new status
of affairs, those States recently under the
control of the rebellion will be speedily
regenerated, and every possible plea Of the
radicals to govern them by military force, as
necessary step to the enforcement Of their
schemes, will be removed; hence the attempt
to create public opinion against that policy.
What Chase and his followers most desire is to
continue against the South the same system Of
abolition crusade which has been carried on
for the last thirty years, and incite strife
between the black and white population. In
this way they hope to render 1t necessary to
retain the South under military rule, pile up
national debt which will ruin the North and
lead to reputation by enfeebling the power
TO pay. That class Of politicians having got
taste Of Office, are anxious TO retain their hold;
but being one idea men, know Of no other
way to prolong their rule and obtain political
advancement except by system Of agitation
and in keeping the whole country in u state
of turmoil, excitement and uncertainty. The
nations distress Is their hour of glory. Peace
and prosperity is death to their schemes and
destruction to their ambition. Hence 1t Is that
we find Chase and his radical Jacobin asso-
ciates again agitating the negro question, 30 a.
to stir up incurable trouble between the races
of the South, and under the cover Of philan-
thropy inaugurate demoniac strife that will
prevent an adjustment Of the South for years
tocome. IF their policy succeeds the people
of this country will have their All Of the
Chase,Jay Cooke national blessing and taxes
10 their hearts content.
