may hereafter stand aloof from the subject without

why should he sharpen acrimony by further action

actions of Congress. While he holds fast to his

Tho Times reasons in this wise:
From the verdict Of Tuesday there is no appeal.
Tho Judgment rendered by four States month
ago was held up as one likely to bo reversed. The
disposed of the points in issue, finally, and with
no chance Of reversal. There is no further room
for doubt or equivocation. The country indorses
Amendment ~ tie basis O. compromise, and OK
pcitly declares tho Democratic party unworthy of
its confidence
Upon the result the Tribune says:
Here, then, is the reply Of the loyal and still ad-
1t symbolizos, as plain as the handwriting on the
wall, that 126 Radical Congressman are elected out
fatal policy is weighed in the balance and found
wanting. Mr.. johnson committed his political foes
TO ruin; the North responds with Radical MAORI
ties in nineteen States. Not an inch of ground has
been yielded by the loyal vote, and in of what
ever good work MAY remain to be done, the North
is resolved to maintain its standing army Of loyal
majorities.
The Herald remarks
The general results of the late elections
from Massachusetts to Missouri, are over
whelmingly in favor Of the Constitutional Amend
ment and the ulti%atum sa OF the victorious North
belion. This great issue OF tho conditions essen
hal to the restoration Of said States is now fixed
to the end OF President Johnsons term in the two
thirds Republican vote secured in both Houses Of
Congress as they now stand till the fourth Of
March 1869. This is the grand and al-important
lesson Of these November elecGons-a lesson which
the Administration cannot safely disregard, even
30 inclined; and which the States unrecognized
by Congress- will do well to accept their only al
tentative. The extreme Radicals in the next place.
have been emphatically admonished IN all these
autumna elections, from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans, that their revolutionary schemes Of recon-
struction are utterly repugnant to the people Of
the North, and therefore utterly impracticable We
satisfied with all these results, and especially
satisfied to the wisdom Of the course adopted by
Maine September election on the great issue which
is to mark the new departure Of this Republic in
the fulflment Of its manifest destiny.
The Commercial Aduertiser asserts:
The question at issue was the policy of recon.
structon, and the decision is against the policy OF
the President, and in favor OF that Of Congress
The people have virtually ratified the amendment
these terms, and come back to the Union with
loyal representatives in Congress-" Congress- BY
admitting the Tennessee members, have shown q
Willingness to affirm this method Of reconstruction
in this conclusion. It has also shown them thai
there is feeling in favor Of strong guarantees
from the South, and il the South shall now turn itt
back upon the amendment, and snllenly fall bael
upon what it deems it's dignity, there are men il
Congress who will be stimulated to enact severel
conditions and 30 reopen the closing wounds made
by the war.
X The Eueaing Post puts it in this light:
d The Republican party, by these elections, retanl
power for two years more. Mr.. Beecher said very
truly that, wisely managed, it might retain power
for half century, but to achieve that, even tx
it needs to act prudently to put it's ablest states
men forward to show that it possesses moderation
as we'll as vigor and that it knows Of other inter
eets in the country beside that one to which al
