PRESIDENT JOHNsON,s POLICY.

Ihe Journals special correspon
dent telegraphs the following =
A few days since, distinguished
New England Senator, noted for his
plalnness of speech, said to President
johnson that it was published and
extensively believed that he (the Pres
!dent) intended in his future policy to
Ignore the radical element, and asked
II such was the case. Mr.. johnson
IN reply declared that he never at any
tlme had even intimated that he in
tended to cut the radicals; that he
allowed the largest latitude of opin-
ION in regard to the right of colored
people to vote; that ali he had done
or was doing toward the reorganiza-
uon OF the South was an experiment
that might be successful, or might
not; and, if unsuccessful, that no one
would be more ready to alter his
course than he would; that of one
thing the radicals and others may be
satisfied, namely, that the freedmen of
the South should be fully protected in
their freedom and rights.
10 which the Boston Common
wealth adds the following: ~,.
This statement corresponds with
that made to sls by an eminent Wes-
tern Senator who has just passed
through Washington, having had an
interview with the President. Mr..
Johnson assured the Senator he
should submit the result of his effort
1t reorganization to Congress, which.
Is the judge of the qualification and |
election of its members, would have
ne whole question open to it. He
hould neither advise nor recommend
ny course to be pursued in the mat
er, but allow Congress to do as it !
INKS tit The President further as !
ured our informant that he believed Il
lere would be no occasion for a diyi-
on among his supporters on the
uestlon OF suffrage; but claimed that
party policy had been adopted for
agro suffrage, and therefore it should !
