into play prejudices that it should be
his first dnty. as a Chief Magistrate,
10 allay and remove. 1t was, per
haps, safe fer him to refuse recon-
ciliation with Congress when it aban-
doned imprscticable measures and
took less advanced ground than he
himself occupied q year ago. But he
is not such power in the land that
he can expect successfully TO drive
the people before him like sheep, and
compel them to think as de thinks,
to sneeze as he sneezes, under pen
atty of being denounced as traitors
and disunIonists. His policy Is not
so perfect, his course in carrying it
out not so consistent, or his devotion
to the Constitution and Union so all
embracing and super-eminent, as to
make it impossible for men to differ
from him and not be traitors. He
will find, as the Post assures him,
that such assumptions serve to rem
der him so personally unpopular as
TO endanger the success OF even
better policy than he has marked
out-CiH. Com.
