E' The 6uppor. accorded to President
johnson thus far BY the. Democratic press;
from whatever motive, is q gratifying fact.
Certainly the new. President should not bs
condemned without trial. II Is remarkable,
however, that not few Of the Democratic
Iapers base their support of him upon the
TACT that he was once Southern Democrat,
and may still have inclina:ions that. way.
Consultations OF this character can be derived
also from other sources. BENZ. F. Butler was
Democrat Of the same type. Daniel 8. Dick
insou was Democrat Of the same type. SEQ

do no honor to any Democratic paper to base
is support Of President johnson on the abb
surd superstition that he will eventually be-
tray the loyal citizens who elected him An
dy johnson is where he Is, because he de-
spiEed treachery,- and was true to the con-
yictions Of right and duty. Here is the posi-
ton IN regard to rebels and traitors as laid
down in his response to the Indiana de1ega-

as much comfort from It as We do: " TREASON

rebels waking up to the fact that what they
need is not supremacy, or prerogattves, or
cYen rights, but simply @paraon." That
word implies knowledge that crime has
been committed and that punishment is due.
