For the New Orleans Crescent.l
The noble ndfearless stand taken by President
johnson has led the Black Republican party To-
strip itself of all disguise, and it stands be-
fore the world in all itsnaked deformity. Awider
difference of opinion never existed between two
parties than now exists between the Black Repub-
leans and the President and his supporters. But
civil war has been brought about by differences
of opinion not as wide as those now expressed in
the North. Hence, unless some compromise is
soon made between these two parties in the
North, war in that quarter seems inevitable.
/ think see it.
One of these parties or both, have got TO yield.
The gulf between is too deep and broad to exist
longin one common government. Differences OF
opinion must be limited, or government cannot
| long be maintained. There are no signs as yet
that either party will yield; on the contrary, the
differences between them are daily widening.
Matters will eliminate when the fall elections
take place, in all probability.
| l think see it.
| A civil war among the people in the North will
of necessity involve those in the South, even
though our constitutional rights are not restored
to u.s. In view then Of coming events, whose
shadows we cannot fail to see, even at this early
day. does it not become those particularly inter
ested in our commercial relations both at home
and abroad, to have an eye upon the future and
govern themselves accordingly in all their mer-
camille transactions?
/ / think I see it.
| Are transactions of an annual or even semi
annual character, from present political appear
ances, such as Barring, or Rothschld woult
unhesitatingly indorse, even though backed VI
by government securities? If not what degree
of uncertainty should be attached to individual
securities in transactions of similar nature? L
there no cause for caution?
think see it.
Il How about leasing places in which to transac
business, for one, two or three years, at ten, ff
teen, twenty. and even thirty thousand dollar!
annually under the existing order, or. rather dis
order Of things? Does it not look little as if the
lessor was on the safest side?
Il think see it,.
How about contracts of any kind, either foreign
or domestic, embracing a long period Of time
while the country is distracted with issues tina
show no signs Of healing. Does not ordinary pru
denee require that we should lend listening cal
while the ominous words .go slow" are being
4 whispered?
/ think see it.
Have we ever, as people, realized in full t
what extent President of these United States
as commander. in-chief of the o. S. army, ex
oficio, could go, provided he felt that he mus
adopt extraordinary measures, or be driven to thu
Il wall? Are these not times for reflection?
i ] think / see it.
But the Presidentmay be impeached. Granted
But suppose he will not submit to an impeach
ment. What then? Will it not be well for the
party in power, before it proceeds to muct
| greater extremes, to weigh well the cost, anj
govern itself accordingly? Itwould seem SO.
| think see it.
4 Finally, in case an open rupture were to Occur
between the President of these United States ant
a party in power, which Of the two would be
most likely to be sustained abroad party repre-
senting only the views Of a portion of the people
Of this government, or he who throws himself
/ upon the Constitution of his country, and avows
his intention and determination to survive or per
ish with it Have not the subjects of kingdoms
and empires, from time immemorial been taught
to regard kings and emperors as superior to par
ties and is not that the feeling now entertained
abroad for the political chief Of this nation?
Think ace it,
