WASHINGTON, June l6 The Opposition to
the President, on account of the determined
stand which be has taken on the question OF
negro suffrage in the South, is becoming more
intense every day, and is rapidly assuming an
organized form 1t will be Of quite a formi-
dable nature by the time Congress meets next
December, whether il extends TO that body or
not SO far as | have been able to learn, no
extra session will be called Fortunately, in
his case, the powers possessed by the Exeeu-
tive are quite ample to enable him to carry
on The Government till then, in spite OF the
howls and growls Of the mAlcontents The
rahks Of the latter are swelling every day.
The Mississippi proclamation, and the ap.
poniment of Judge Sbarkey as Governor Of
that State, have brought them poxerful
reinforcement, aud they are eyen counting
now on the open aid Of the New York Tri-

savage onslaught against Judge Sharkey,
which gives the radicals here great ad and
comfort.
The North Carolina Proclamati D, they
thought, was bad enough. In the other
Southern States, they hoped that different
system would be adopted; that the Governors
appointed would &c Northern men and that
measures would be taken which would not

and arrangements have been made to extend
this organized opposition TO every State,
Newspapers and presses have been bought
and 'subsidized, orators and lecturers, both
male and female, haYsIbeen hired, and soon
every thing will be ready to open vigorous
campaign against the Presidents policy.
This warfare will be carried on until Con-

against the Presidents policy OF reconstruc-
ton, and in favor OF negro suffrage in the
Spoth; and the punishment of death against
JefIersJn Dayis, Gen. Lee, and all the lead

the 90 operation OF the next Cengress IN their
opposition TO the Presdsnt, by bringing to
