veto message which demands the instant
rehabilitation of states untitled for politi-
cal representation in the American con-
greSS, he should know that he will have
none of the advantages of either Adams.

honest man, fighting for what he believed
to he right, and sustained in his contest
by some of the pureSt patriots in the land
The second believed himself backed bv
a united south and a recuPerated demnc-

of the entire south 10 support him. Eut

From the Washington (Forney's) Chronicle.

In an editorial article. it is as asserted
that Mr.. Johnson distinctly announces
that no one who refuses 10 support his
policy shall receive or continue TO ENJOY
government patronage. Mr.. Forney then
alludes TO the historical precclents OF
John Quincy Adams, John Tyler and
james buchanan, who used the govern
ment patronage to sustain them, and con-
cludes by saying:
''As the present executive evidently re-

He has relieved those who elected him OF

own shoulders. Hereafter, whatever
wrongs may he inflicted upon or indigni-
ties suffered bv the Southern black. will
be charged to the President. who has lett
them naked to their enemies. Time will
show that he has thereby preciudc;l a true
and speedy restoration Of the South. and
inflicted more lasting misery on her whites
