misrepresentation OF tho Radicals-Thelr
Schemes for the Next Presidency.
The radical dfsorganizers in Congress and
their organs throughout the country are doing
their utmost to create a false impression in re-
gard to President Johnsons course in reference
to restoration. On no one point is this more
marked than on the position of Mr.. Johnson in
regard to the admission Of Southern represen-
tatives in Congress. They are constantly harp
ing upon a statement that the President is try
ing to force Congress to receive late rebels and
secessionists into that body. Their organs are
filed with misrepresentation of this kind, all
tending to create an impression on the public
mind that the President is insisting that the
doors ofthe national Legislature shall be opened
TO the leading sccessionists and the important
trust of the nation placed in their hands and al
their disposal. This is the burden OF
the radical speeches and the song of the
radical editors In this course they
have to . certain extent misled that
portion Of the public who take only super
fetal glance at the policy Of the Executive.
Their frequent reiterations of these false state
ments have had the effect Of convincing many
that they are true. But nothing can be further
from the truth than their assertions about Presi-
dent Johnson's position on the admission OF
those representatives, and none know this
better than the radical leaders. But IL serves
their purpose to keep up their misrepresenta-
tions, and they are constantly repeating them.
| II is part Of their scheme for success in the
next Presidential election, and as long as they
see that the public are ready TO swallow their
| falsehoods lust so long will tbev continue In
