WAS THE WAR A FAILURE 3-The Chi.
cago Democratic National Convention has
been soundly abused and ridiculed for
styling the war failure up to that time /;
but it seems that those who raved the
lOudest at the "CopPerheads" now make
the same declaration after the war is over.
OF course what was demoniac in the
Democrats is angelic in the radicals -
President johnson says that "neither the
President nor Congress has any authori.
ty to psescribe the qualifications Of elec'
tors" me- States; but our "loyal sup
,porters 81 the Government" dent believe
it, refuse to endorse his policy, andssay
to sanction it would be equivalent to &C.
knowledging the war q failure. The
North, they say, did not fight to restore
the Union, but to subjugate the South,
and to approve the Presidents recon
struction policy would place the South
on an equality with the North, and thus
defeat the object of the war. The radi.
Gals declare the war failure, are 10 open
rebellion against "the Government" and
swear that unless the President submits
to their dictation they will crush himI-
