The State elections of this day, involving
ninety-one members ofCongress, will, we doubt
not, be decisive against the Presidents South
ern restoration policy and in favor Of the
pending constitutional amendment. 1t is highly
probable that with this days setting sun there
will be secured two-thirds majority in Con-

fore, have nothing to gain or hope for, but
everything to lose, from any further resistance
10 the amendment as the ultimaium Of The
North to the unrecognized State organizations
of the South. II he is really a man of the peo-
pie and disposed TO yield \ ready compliance
to the will Of the people, az from all his pro-
fessions we must believe him to be, he will
proceed without further loss of time 10 tack
ship and sail with the wind and tide of public
opinion.
To this end. if Mr. johnson were to exercise
his powerful influence in the South in favor OF
the ratification OF the amendment. he would be
pursuing the wisest statesmanship under the
circumstances but In any event, with the
next Congress, from the States now represented,
secured by two-thirds vote against him, he
cannot, with any assurance of safety to the
South or peace 70 the country, continue con-
fiict with Congress which will have been
decided in favor Of the amendment by the po-
tentiaI voice Of the North The least that he
can do as reasonable man, In his responsible
position, will be to waive all further oppos-
ton in any shape, and let the amendment
quietly take its course. II he cannot do
better or go further, " this halfway house Of
diplomatic rest will answer the purpose.
More time will be required in this way 70 &C
complish the work than by the other Of active
cooperation; but as the tree Of slowest growth
produces the strongest timber IL may in the end
prove TO be the best plan to give the States
concerned as much time as they may require
TO bring them 10 an understanding Of the new
order OF things and the great questions settled
by the war
There are twenty-seven States now repre-
scented in Congress enough to ratify the con-
stitntional amendment, including the late
slave States Of Delaware, Maryland. West vir-
ginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri. The
Legislatures of nearly all these States will NEE,
this winter, and doubtless the first regular bus-
ness taken mp by them will be this pending
constitutional amendment Thus, before the
end Of the coming session Of Congress, with
an extra call OF Legislature OF two, we may
have, say, twenty-tour States enrolled for the
ratification. counting Delaware, Maryland and
Kentucky as extremely doubtful. But those
three doubtful States. or one or two OF them.
with one or two OF the excluded States, can
doubtless be secured by little Congressional
pressure in the interval 10 the frat regular
meeting OF the next Congress, in December,
1867
In this connection va must not forget the
