My PoIIcy.-
We believe the great mass Of the people
are right at heart. and will utterly repu-
diate President johnson. when they are
convinced. (as . majority of them alrss-
dy sre. that he is aiming to destroy the
party that carried the country safely
through the rebellion. and elected him to
Office. and to throw the Government
again into the hands Of those who came
20 near destroying it. We believe this
is his present aim. aud We shall at all
times lay before our readers the facts up
on which we base our belief.
When the President makes one Of his
/ White Houss stump speeches. be invsrii-
ably takes accession to reitsrate it in private,
to some person who will publish it. His
22t Of February harangne. he repeated
to the immortal Cox. Of Ohio. But Coz
has suddenly become remarkably mum.
sod the President WAS obliged to find an.
other listener to his repetition Of the
speech OF April 18th. to disguised Office
holders. He found the correspondent of
the London Times an attentive listener.
The reader need not be told what the
London Times ia. That malicious. 10.
dictive. untruthful enemy to the United
States. that pronounced the Uuion de-
stroyed. painted in bright colors every
rebel success. misrepressntsd and belittled
every Union victory. protested against
the blockade. howled at the capture Of
Mason snd Slidell, mourned oyer the
capture 70 JET. Davis. slandered America
in every shape and form. and used its
mightiest'eudesvors to secure European
recognition Of the Southern Confederacy
this London Times publishes the &C.
count Of the interview sent BY its core.
spoudent. and adds Q fulsome indorss.
mont Of President johnson.
We copy paragraph from that CORE
spondent's account. to show the reader
what kind of stuff the President sends
forth for foreign consumption. and what
It is that pleases the London Times 80
highly. Listen how he accuses the Radi-
calls Of the North with q design to-, de.
stroy the Government, but that the
Southsrnsrs had commenced the work
6rst; and he reiteratss the change that
the Radicals are striving to get up an.
other rebellion; and how he declares. in
plain terms, that the admission of the
Southern Congressman is to put the Re-
publican party ont Of power. and the
Democratic party in:
The President first adverted to the con-
dition in which he found the country on
his &C c.ession to Office. and pointed ont
that ever since that tims the Radical par
ty. which now has the control over Con.
gress. bad bsen preparing for the Issue
forced upon him. Their object was
manifest. and it was one which from their
point Of view. they could scarcely be
blamed for pursuing so ,esgerly. They
knew perfectly we'll that when the South
came back into Congress their day of
power would DO over-the Southern Re-
presentatives would stand as unit; they
would probably fall into alliance again
with tho Democratic party. the old Issue
Of slavery and State sovereignty would be
dead and buried. and the party which
now ruled would bs stripped of its power.
Their talk about philanthropy and be.
nevolence to the negro meant, nothing
more thsn desire to work upon the feel
ipgs Of the North, so that thy might be
enabled to carry everything their own
way. 1t was renewal of an old conflict. |
The two sections ofthe country were ready
to go to war before the rebellion broke
out tho one to preserve slavery, the
other to destroy it. Each side was will.
ing to sacrifice the Government in order
to gain its object. The South struck first;

end Of the line. and now it is swinging
rouad to the Other end. "These men,"
the President-snd he always
used these words to denote the Radical
almost ready to go into re.
bellion sgain rather than have their 50.
prenscy destroyed BY the reintroduction
of the South. They know nothing
practically OF the real state of the South.
The very man who had drawn up the
Civil Rights Bill, what are his means of
Judging LEFT him in the Senate during {
he war. and went ont to Tennessee and c
aw it oil. snd bore my share of the \
roubles. he stopped at home, and now !,
pdssvors to make bis theories square in
Q the events Of the war, and legislate on
deas which hs has never put to the test" I
