Truth From an Unexpected Source.
There are some Republican papers
in the county, to their credit be it said,
that will not endorse the insane radi-
cal policy Of keeping out of Congress
the representatives from the States
lately in rebellion. The 4" gospel of
hate" 80 persistently promulgated by
the chiefs Of the radical clan and re-
iterated by their partizans down to
the kinkiest parasite in their internal
catalogue, fails TO blind their mental
visions to the practical aspect Of the
political situation.
Says the New York Ereniag Post in
a candid and carefully written arti-
Gle: "The immediate admission Of all
the States to representation is the
lone question now before the country;
'and all prudent, rise Republicans, all
"men Of erery party 'eho desire tie good Of
"the country and can see wh0t as immedi-
ately necessary to produce this good, ,eiA
ante 10 send to Congress only men who
rtH rote for the immediate admission of
delegates from all tie States.
NVo give the conclusion Of the arti-
clio entire:
The Republican leaders are making
desperate efforts to carry the election
by nero force of excitement, and by
most unworthy and inconsistent APP
peals to the passions of the party
For instance--and it is but one case
ont of a hundred-the Tribune OK
claims this morning.:
ANDREW johnson assumes to de-
eide on the legality of the State con-
ven ton which was that day to assem-
bic, and to place the Federal troops
under the control of its deadly enemy,
with directions to suppress it as an il
legal or unlawful assembly"
Now the Tribune, which declares
the States are not in the Union, and
the State governments not legal, has
no right to complain of Mr.. Johnson's
action. According TO its theory, and
TO that Of the majority in Congress,
which refuses to admit even loyal men
from the Southern States, the Presi-,
dent did not "assume anything-he
acted in the line Of his duty lie had
his justification in tho declared policy
Of the Republican leaders. The
Erenmg Post, which has opposed that
policy, has right to condemn the
Presidents act as dangerous and
wrong but tho TriJue, the Republi-
can leaders, not at all.
but look az the folly ana inconsis-
tency Of these men. They. toll tho
people that Mr.. johnson is bad man,
wicked tyrant and in the same breath
they advocate policy which increas-
es his powers, which sets him above
and beyond the Constitution in regard
to ten States; which gives him des-
potic and irresponsible power-if he
is inclined to use it. This is the ar
gument of the Republican leaders. =
But we reply, if tho President is
bad man, so much the more necessary
is it that we shall return at once to
strict constitutional government, in
order to lessen and restrain hispower.
If he is what they solemnly declared
him to be, is it not worse than stu
pidity, is it not treason to liberty, to
adopt and continue policy which
gives him unrestricted and extra con-
stitutional power over great part of
the country, during his whole termP
The SprineGold Rpu6acan takes
precisely the same view of the case,
and the Hartford Cowant thus sets
forth the evil results which must fol-
low from tho assumption of such
policy by the Republican party.
"As for Tie policy Of exclusion whicA
has been wrongly fired upon the Union
party By the incorporate acts and noras
Of some members Of Congress, 10 must be
rspadiated u zee erpect the party 10 maia-
tain ITS poeer. If we allow the Phila-
delphia Conventionists to place us in
the false position of excluding loyal
men from Congress while they set
themselves mp as the champions of
unappreciated loyalty, the result of
the conflict is easily foretold, and it is
not pleasing to contemplate. But if
tho Union party will show that this is
not the issue, and if Congress will as
sist by adding tho names of other
loyal representatives to those Of tho !
Tennessee delegation, our party
strength will be greatly increased"
