Presidential Policy

Reticence 10 a distinguished charac-
teristic Of the political chiefs of the ma
tons. IL is one which seems foreign
to the nature Of Andrew johnson. He
either fails to perceive, or does not app
preciate it's value; upon any and every
occasion be is ready to give utterance to
his passing impressions of the varying
phases Of affairs. Under the Impulse OF
passion, Of disappointment, and of a
combative disposition he is ever ready to
aout the epithets and decIamation Of the
partizan, in the face OF those who do
not think proper to unreservedly ind orse
his every, act Even his State papers
are not free from the rehtoric and the ap-
peals to the prejudices of the ignorant
and of the thoughtless, OF the stump
politicians, as is evidence in his veto of
the Civil Rights Bill. In that paper is
presented severaI inconsequental obsc-
tons. In 1t, there seems a labored effort
to raise objections having no bearing on
the propriety, or validity, of the enact
ment in question, the effect of which,
whether intentional or not, is merely to
rouse the antipathies of the ignorant and
the irconsiderate. He thus weakens tbs
force of bis argument in reference to
what, we individually agree with him, is
really Objectionable in the bill
The hatulent defamation and the habits
ofthe partizan politician clings to him in
his high position, and he bids fair to
justify the reproach of his high4toned
enemies Of the South, that be is
double distilled dsmagogue. Here
tofore we have thought him only
too truly Democratic to suit their high.
toned inclinations But from and in
Guiding the day of his inauguration as
rice, his general conduct towards his
friends and enemies has been unsuited
10 his position. He has not abandoned
the role of stump politician, though be
has assumed that of the self.reliant, the
leading statesman. His personal histo-
~ 10 not likely to be forgotten, If bis
repetition of its principal incidents can
prevent it,
He has been silent only when he
should have been communicative, and
talkative when he should have held his
peace. Choosing his most intimate as.
soeiates from bis hitherto virulent enc
mics, his friends had so little concep-
tons of bis wishes and opinions, a. to
suppose they were fulfilling bis policy
when he surprised them with vetoes
There appears to have been something
Of littleness, of the petty, weak, ambi-
tious of insigni6cance, 10 wishing for an
occasion to dissent from acts Of Con-
gress, that his individual wisdom might
have the opportunity Of parade, in con
trast with that OF the two able bodies
composing it. They may for the time,
in these heated and anomalous times,
have been injudicious in action, but
Andrew johnson, occupying, as he does,
the calm position Of spectator and judge,
cannot justly arrogste to himself the
distinction of having always acted with
the mildness Of the dove and the wis
dom of the serpent. d..
