Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1866-02-06

There is in Congress, says a New York
A1tsmp1rarv, a strong and desperate fac.
arr under the control Of adr0it leaders,
who viii leave no stone nturned in their
e=-r-sto compass the defeat of his policy
and render bis administration pcwerle5s
for good or evil, unless he follows their
bidding. Wehave heretofore shown that
the Object Of this faction, under the lead
of STEVENS, is to postpone definite ac-
ton. and ia the meantime gather TO-
eether scraps Of one sided information,
excluding all evidence on the side Of the
President and at the proper time pro-
muIgsta this 70 the world under the off,
cial sanction of the committee. This
faction, as II now stands, does not en-
brace more than one-tbird Of
either House Of Congress. But
under their system Of tactics,
with aid and comfort from members
Of the Presidents Cabinet, they have
succeeded thus far IN carrying all their
r9ints in the lower House. They are
gradually undermining the President,
and unless 10 gives the Conservative
portion Of Congress some assurances Of
support bv decisive deeds, and thus
strengthens their hands, he viii soon be
forced % a direct choice between follow
ing the lead Of the Radicals OF that Of The
Democrats. When once placed in this
position be viii be unable 70 maintain his
proud and noble place above all parties
but, by the force Of necessity, he viii be
compelled 10 sdapt his course % one or
The other. In the vote Of the ffty-three
Republicans for qualified suffrage in the
District Of Columbia the President is
furnished with a plain solution Of the
difficulties which now await them. In
this vote be viii End the material TO
aver the danger which threatens his ad-
m-inisua.i0n. Unless Mr.. JOHNSON
seizes this opportunity, and acts upon il
without delay, the power that be now
holds and can WELD viii pass forever
from bic handB. Inasmuch as the Radi-
Gals 10 Congress are determined not 70
slow him a voice in their schemes until
they have 50 fortified their position as 70
make their success certain in spite Of the
PRECEDENT, ANDREW JOHNSON has no
other course left than the removal Of all
those mel from bis Cabinet who are
directly or indirectly in completely
with that faction. This is no
s fGr hesitation OF doubt. Silence
and -lagtlon On the part Of the
EEerrlss a.s all the Radicals in Con-
gr1 want II the promises and profess
E5ls " EsL men as Stanton induce the
Edelt Do delay action, let him re-
member the fate Of Mcclellan, who
listened 30 and relied upon those same
promises Iu his behalf. This Cabinet Is
not his own and the people will sustain
IN in removing enc OF an. Let him.
-1z1. remove the leading c9usplrator
,-d he VII md the clouds which now
--ea-su bis administration disappearing
-le mist before the morning sun. The
-7u-a-ratl portion Of Congress viii take
-1-ra-e. and. with the assurance Of the
Of the President backed BY the
people, the policy Of his administration
vii be l5arsed by even this Congress,
confidence vIl bee restored, the Union
men North and South be able 10 main
-ain their position, and d~i5unionism,
whether from SeeesGOnists in the South +
