The Presidents Views.

The opinions and arguments OF MT. poo.
LITTLE, the Senator from Wisconsin, aeh'el''
in the United States Senate on "eahes"".'
have attracted much attention as wen -
onproha.,on at the South. We cohsi"'.
tban, as altogether consistent with the Po">'
~ President JOHNSON, and this OPINION wa
curs with that Of Mr. WADE, the raoid seia'oi
from Ohio. That gentleman, In ms sPe.>" "
renIy To Mr. DooLtTTLR, dehNereo On Ah"'S
aay asserted that Mr.. DooLiTrLE argument
:. co, forth tbe doctrines Of the Administra-
,,on ;, and was probably submitted TO ~
before delivery" MIR. DooLIrrLE, interrupt
ING the Senator, declared that he had "had no
:. conversation with the President nor any
=. member of his Cabinet on this subject, and
Mr.. WADE then charging that the Senator from
Wisconsin was the organ Of the Adminis'fa-
ton, that gentleman declared that he " h;sd no
more authority TO speak for the Administra
ton than the Senator (Mr WADE himseh.
Still, the Ohio Senator returned 10 tue
charge, and declared that 1t made mo oii'
:. fersnce--the Senator had epdeavored 10 bring
"forward all possible arguments which co''id
:. occur to him in support of the President
:. nolicy." 1t Is not at all unsatisfactory TO US
here 10 know that the fanatical leaders con
slider Mr. DooLITrLEs speech as rehecuhs the
views and policy of President JOHNSON. IL
was a speech that showed some natural 1eel-
ing-and 4 great deal of wisdom: natural
repugnance at the ultraisms of the Radicals
and a wise conception of the advantages that
will enlre TO The whole nation-especlailF 10
the North-by the early restoration OF the
Union in q restoration of the civil and politlcai
status of the Southern States.
So regarding the able speech OF Mr.. Doc.
LITTLE, the Ohio Senator (scrofd Senate pro-
ceeded to attack the policy OF the President
through that speech. In the course OF his
TRADE he was cool enough TO declare that he
"would not act in n vindictive manner" ION,
no. by no means,) and even avowed his will
nngness to bury the past in oblivion =; but
nevertheless he would not agree to take back
the Southern States yet. He triumphantly
inquired, Did any nation on the face OF the
earth ever invite armed rebels, whom II had
"just subdued, TO come into it's councils and
"participate In its deliberations? No man
who was not crazy would think OF SUCH Il
thing" Of course not. They ought GER
tainly TO be disarmed first. But ought not Mr.
WADE to move that they be disarmed? For
they NAV be kept out until even his kind
nature NAV revolt at longer delay. Mr.. WADE
NAV be assured that the rebs are really not so
much exercised upon the subject OF re-admis-
sion. The politicians and editors are making
more ado about it than the people-who are
very quiet under the Military Govern
ment They regard the army as sort
of school of Propaganda. The officers
and men that compose it know great deal
more about the real condition of affairs here
than the ultras and vast numbers OF them
are converts 10 justice and sympathy with the
,nhite race Give Jus the soldiers, give us the
Generals of the army. They are brave ana
have something like humanity and generosity
In their natures-the manly sentiments when
the conflicts of war infuse into the minds Oh
men Let us have these, and save us from the
tender mercies of the Red Black Republi-
cans of Congress. When the counseis OF the
President prevail when the good sense OF the
Northern people triumphs over the bitter
passions and the political intrigues of the Cap
itol : when the true interest OF the Govern
ment and the North in restoring the SCUM aho
in -reyiving its industry, for the sake OF the
public revenue and of the Northern commerce
and trade shall be acknowledged; when all TINS
comes to pass, the South will be ready to take
her place in the nation. But until that Is The
case she desires no reconstruction, and her
acuuiescence would be most unwilling
