Of TENNESSEE.
The assertion made by the radicals that
the President has proved recrcant 10 his
restoration policy, or that he has backed
down from his position, in the least degree,
in signing the bill for the admission Of the
State Of Tennessee, is simply nonsensical--
a mere dodge to cover defeat. The fact il
patent to every one that Congress, through
its radical committee of fifteen, has for the
past eight months been tinkcring away upon
a reconstruction policy, but as yet nothing
has been brought forth that was worth
showing to the people This would not do.
Something must be done in the reconstruc
Con limo before Congress adjourned, else
the people would hold their party to strict
account therefor. Hence We have this late
act OF yc-admission. The President was en-.
tirely consistent in executing the bill, for
reasons given in his message that are
| published below. lie was willing 10
overlook point Of form that
the State might be placed in possession Of
.hc constitutional right which had been SO
unjustly and unlawfully withheld from her.
lie has taken care to place on record the
aud preamble, and 10 rcbukc the falsehood
which i, asscrts concerning the ratification
o, the constitutional amendment by the
legislature. Congress knew that no quo
rum voted upon the ratification hen Il
passed the bill, and the prctense that Ten>
ncsscc was admitted in consequence Of her
| ratification Of the amendment was = clever
dodge to cover the fact that the fortunes Of
the abolition party required the admission
| Of the state before the adjournment Of the
present session. The report says there
was laughter during the reading Of the mes
sage The abolitionists will do well to re-.
member the old rdagc, "Let him laugh
who WINS" The end is not yet. They are
easily moved to mirth when one Of Andy
Johnson's messages makes them merry.
His communications TO congress have hcre-
,oforc been much more provocative Of cu,s
ing than laughing among abol,ioni.ts. II
they choose to bc jolly rs tho day Of their
funeral draws nigh, it is their privilege.
