A SPECIMEN OF "MY PoLIcY." Pres.
ident johnson has determined that the
rebel States shall be restored without any
conditions or guarantees. and is bent up
on preventing the ratification of the Con.
stitutionsl Amendment by two-thirds Of
the States. Congress has determined
that they shall not be restored without
guarantees. The States seem to prefer
the plan of Congress. deeming it the sur.
est and best way to get in, and have
commenced ratifying the Amendment,
through Legislatures. State Conventions.
and other bodies elected by the people.
The President. seeing himself rapidly To-
sing ground. has let loose a rebel mob,
to break mp State Convention. and
murder loyal citizens; has deposed the
lawful Governor of q State; and has
placed Major General of the Union ar
my. together with all his subordinate Of
6cers and men, under the command of a
rebel civil officer. To hide some of the
enormities committed by his sanction,
official kilograms of officers are suppress
ed, mutilsted, or forged to suit his pur-
poses. This is President Johnson's
"policy."
White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1866-08-16

E President Johnsou's prospect 70,
obtaining q majority in Congress favor
able to his "policy." is rather discour'
aging. In the Senate, be is losing ground
decidedly. Oregon has recently elected
a Republican Legislature. which will
choose a Radical Senator in place of Ne
smith. Copperhead. A Republican ha'
been elected in California, in place O
McDougall. whiskey Johnsonite. Th.
President has already attempted to Sc
duce the new Senator, Cole, but failed
From our own State, there will be a Sc
nator who will vote on the Radical side
in place of Lane, who voted to suit John
son. Here is clear gain of three, tc

FoR GovERNoR.-Judge G. w. Smith,
Of Lawrence, is a candidate for nomina.
tion for Governor. Personally. we re.
spect him. and do not doubt bis political
soundness but for various reasons, moi
necessary to enumerate, we think be would
be imprscticable for the position.
Col. John T. Burris. of johnson
County. is also mentioned for the office
The question arises, would it not be jus.
as well to retain Crawford? We do not
know how Burris stands now; but we
do know that several months ago, we
frequently heard his name mentioned as
probably the most available man that
could be found to run as johnson can
didate for Congress-. against Sidney
Clarke. Whether Burris was willing to
have gone into this arrangement, we can.
not say. But the people ought to be cer-
tain on these points. before they make
choice,

~ 1t appears that number of Rad.
ical men met at Topeka. for consultation,
couple of weeks ago; and the Record
announces, apparently as if it had disco.
vered some horrible plot. that Judge
Kingman and several others were invited,
and actually attended. The Judge should
be careful. and not be guilty of the dis
grace of meeting and consulting with Ra'
dicala. unless the object is to aid some
speculation in which the Record hal
money invested.

WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS:
Thursday. !: !: 3: August 16, 1866.
Our Caudfdntc for senator.

From conversation and correspondence
with Republicans from all parts OF North
ern Kansas. within the past ten days. we
feel authorized, from the great unanimity
of feeling expressed. in saying that Gen.
A. L. Lee will be presented as the candi-
date of the Northern Tier for the United
States Senate.
At this time. it is necessary to say but
little more than the foregoing. Gsn. Lee
has returned to make his permanent home
here he has talent inferior to no other
candidate for the Senste he is and has
been thoroughly Radical Republican ;
and his distinguished services in the 6eld
have shed renown upon the name Of
Kansas. His speech at Leavenworth. on
Saturday evening last. ct the invitation
OF the Veteran Brotherhood. showed him
to be a speaker of marked ability; and
the sentiments expressed showed that bis
head and heart were right. as sttested by
the hearty applause of 5000 listeners.
Since our adm ission as a State, the
Governors have been divided between
Lesvenworth, Lawrence, and Southern
Kansss;the Congressman between Leaven-
worth and Lawrence; and the United States
Senators, between Lawrence and Atch-
ison. NortherR < ausas has no. only not
been represented in either position. but
has been willfully and system atically
ignored in the distribution of material
benefits. She will now claim a repre-.
sentative in the United States Senate, and
send up q united delegation in favor ol
Gen. Lee.

self. He and his friends purchased the
St. Joseph Union newspaper, and turned
it bitterly against Loan, instead of using
it as medium for promoting harmony
in the party. On the other hand, Loan.
since his return, has published Cards
against Parker, of the most personal and
spiteful character, ssvoring more of q
pot-house politician and blackguard than
q high minded Congressman. As to 10y
atty and soundness, they are about on q
par-and both were of doubtful standing,
at the commencement of the rebellion
If we had the decision OF the matter, We
SHOULD throw them both aside. and selec,
a third man for Congress. Certainly all
the talent in the District is not mouopo.
lized by these two men; and neither oI
them is Of SO much consequence that the
success of the party in the District should
be endangered by their silly but bitter
personal quarrel.

A DIrrEREscE BErwEEs DocroRs


A DIFFERENoE BErwEES DocroRs.-
Public report, on the 4sh of March, 1865,
said that Andrew johnson was beastly.
disgracefully drunk. The editor Of the
Atchison Champion, who had seen him
somewhere down in Tennessee. two or
three years before, Indignantly denied the
"slander, said he was with johnson,
just few minutes before the insugura-
tion, and knew that he was not in the
slightest degree nnder the influence Of
liquor. John W. Forney, who was pro.
badly as intimate with johnson as any
man in Washington. says that he was
drunk. and that be (Forney) assisted in
taking him from the public gaze and
watching with him. to prevent his further
dishonoriDg himself and the country
and that be was witness to scenes so dis.
graceful and humilisting. that he will no,
relate them, unless compelled by the Pre-.
sident's prosecutions to do so. Colonel
VIM. B. Stokes. one of the loyal Con.
gressmen admitted from Tennessee. jus,
before the adjournment. was intimately
acquainted with johnson. in TENNESSEE
and at Washington. He made a speech
at Nashville. few nights since. in which
be told what he knew Of the Inauguration
affair. We let him tell his own story:
You have heard what took place at tn,
great ball given on the night of the sec
ond Inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln. Their
is man here. probably. who knows al
about It An immense concourse Of peo
pie filled the Executive Mansion. Th,

Of the nation were present. 1t was a glo
rious. august, imposing assembly. TIL,
Vice President was too weary. or timid
ry sick, or something else, to escort Mrs
Lincoln. as was customary for one in hi
position on such an occasion. so Mr.. Sum
ner had to wait upon the lady. johnson
sat on a sofa in the back of the roou
with a colored man by his side. solilo
quising as follows: "I'm Vice Presiden
of these United States! I've taken tn
oath and been sworn in, BY God! Sumne
says I'm from the territory Of Tennessee
There he goes now with the Queen! I'v
taken the oath and Pm Vice President

SECRET PLASSIya.-Lsst week Troy
Reporter has an article stating that secret
plans are forming for the purposs OF sen.
ding johnson men as Delegates to the
State Convention. and to the Legislature;
and that there are persons in the County
who expect to obtain certain Federal OIL
ces. in return for their services in this
business. We have no doubt that at
tempts will be made in this and every
other County to run in johnson men on
the sly. The people will have to watch,
and to pledge their delegates. and to send
none concerning whom there is the least
occasion for doubt.
1t the Reporter knows the names o
men who are working for the object char
ged, as it seems to do. it should by all
means let the public have them. If We
knew to certainty. we should do so
SuQb men deserve to have their names
heralded to the world. and their designs
known to the people whom they seek te
impose upon. The Reporters article
only opens the way for suspicion and
speculation-every one is left to make
such application as suits him. And sus
picion has fastened upon some men whom
We know to be innocent of Johnsonism
One of them said to rs that he would q,
lief be accused or suspected of horse
stealing as Jobnsonism. That is oul
sentiment. Let not injurious suspicion
rest upon the guiltless.

p.fIaa.Inhla Con,entlon.

This patriotic body met on Tuesday,
per announcement. Mogul Randall called
the Convention to order, and announced
that the grand entree would consist Of the
Massachusetts, and South Carolina dele
cations entering the Convention arm-in.
arm-which then took place, amid great
applause. This was really no great
matter for applause. if the Convention
had only taken the trouble to remember
that the party that appointed that Massa-
cbusetts delegation. as we'll as the delega-
tions from every other Northern State,
had been working shoulder TO shoulder
with that South Casolins delegation oil
through the rebellion.
Gen. Dix was appointed temporary
Chairman. He said it was an occasion
of great pride to be called upon to occupy
that position. He might have said be
bad once written. "If..any man attempts to
haul down the American flag. shoot him
on the spot :" but as scores present had
attempted to haul it down. and had sue.
ceeded, but were not shot on the spot, be
took great pride in presiding over them,
in organizing party to crush the one
that had saved the American Gag. and
flung it to the breeze again.
We have received none of the subse-
quent proceedings. The Convention will
be harmonious. if the portion claiming to
be Union will simmer down and let the
Copperheads and rebels have their own
way otherwise, il will break up in a
row. Judging from the character of the
Union men who have gone into it. it will
probably be harmonious. Having gone
in to save their bread and butter, they
will not jeopardize it by imprudently
showing aspirit of independence.

@ 1t is currently reported that Tom
Osborn went to the Philadelphia Con.
vention, as a substitute for one of the
Democratic Delegates. Alas, poor Tom!
He must be getting down pretty low,
when he works himself in as delegate
to a rebel Convention. as a substitute for
a Copperhead Democrat. 1t is exactly
two years since he made speeches in this
County, denouncing good Republicans a:
Copperheads. because they differed with
him on the question Of re-slecting Gen
Lsne to the Senate. to misrepresent and
betray our people.

The LARAMIE TREATY. the snb.
joined proposition from the Sioux tribes.
to the Commissioners at Laramie. we
shonld judge that Red Cloud or some
other warrior was going into the poultry
business. The proportion of "roosters'
to chickens. however. seems rather large;
but perhaps the chiefs are short Of tail
feathers. The original M IN ,script OF the
proposition sent to the Kearney Hsrsld,
reads as follows:
"Rsd Cloud. Black Nsble, Oue-afrsid-
of-his- horse, Bear Blanket. Thunderire.
Spotted Tail. Running Bear. and Stand
ing Elk; these Indians on here give you
Powder River road. Yon can m AXE the
road on there for one hundred wagons
loaded with Indian goods; 1000 Ameri-
can horses. 1000 rifles. 500 head of cat
tie. 500 head of cows, 1000 head Of
sheen. 1000 head of hogs, 500 roosters,
1000 chickens, 200 colored men to raise
corn"
The proposition is hardly acceptable,
as the two hundred "colored men to raise
corn. could hardly be procured since the
markets of the chivalry have been closed.
The Sioux squaws will be obliged to take
the field for roasting ears.
