the radicals Of the plea that tho
South was at heart insurrcctionary
and prepared to revive the war.
The condition in which the Pres.
idcnt was placed would also explain
the reason why he was not moro
explicit in several portions Of his
message. For instance, he threw
upon Congress the entire responsi-
bility Of accepting or rejecting the
delegations from the Southern States.
The republicans held a caucus, ear
ly in the session, to determine tho
line Of policy they would pursue.
They were under the impression
the President would make open
war upon them knowing their nu-
merical strength and their power,
he wisely threw The onus upon them
of making tho attack. Having
promised, in general terms, to sup
port his policy, the question was,
would they dare take this step, He
was clearly of the opinion they
would not, and that if they did, tho
attempt would be followed by tho
disruption Of tho Republican party.
The more conservative Republicans
would not follow their leaders.
Much depended upon the people of
the South themselves. If they
would consider the issues at stake,
they could not fail to sec the ncccs-
sity of rendering all the material
aid in their power to the President,
in his efforts to breast the storm
that now RACES around him. Should
he succeed, we shall have once more,
peace, security and property; if he
fails, no man can foretell the results
that may follow. Enough is seen,
to enable all to judge what duty
and true patriotism require, Under
tho Presidents policy the States
will be restored under the radi-
Gals they sink under misrule and
despotisin, civil and military, in
volving Il total destruction Of tho
principles of the Constitution.

The Richmond Whig nominate

The Richmond Whig nominates,
for the position of United States
Senatar, Hon. John Minor Bolts as
suming that the present legislature
will fill the position. On this, the
Petersburg Index remarks. "We
note the fact merely to enter, on be-
half of nineteen-twentieths Of the
Virginia people, protest against
misrepresenting them in Congress
by any man who holds Mr.. Bolts
opinion on the test oath. The SER
Witty which has been exhibited in
many quarters Of the South, in
choosing representatives to the Fed
eral Legislature, exclusively ON the
ground of their acceptability to the
Radicals, has proved so profitless q
reimbursement that it is to be hoped
it will never be repeated. We are
slow to learn the lesson of all histo.
ry, that fanaticism cannot be propi-
tiated by subservience. 1t is only
the magnanimous soul that is dis
armed by the confession of helpless
ness; tyranny, whether in a man or
a mob, is relentless in proportion as
it is mean. That Mr.. Bolts, in any
respect, represents the people of
Virginia no one will affirm, and the
fact of his perfect acceptability at
Washington, on which the Whig re-
lies, is not, to our mind, an argu-
ment in his favori''
