We End the following in a late number
of the Mobile Advertisef. the writer of which
is distinguished statesman Of Georgia:
Il have no real fear of the future. can
not conceive thai the great body of the
Northern people can be SO utterly destitute
Of sygenathy for tl.c;= c=gT rare atai color as
to do the very terrible things which some
of their leaders threatened.
The Northern people have accomplished
by the war all that they desired except one
thing, and that is the breaking of our proud
and naughty spirit. Whatever it is neces-
sary to do to retain power. that they will
do. and they would be glad to have US
properly subdued. that they might retain
it forever.
told the President year ago that be
had but one thing to do, and that was to
keep close to Gen. Grant, that the latter
could not hurt him. If he can do this. he
can bee lected ia '68; if not, he must be
beaten.
Grant is really the man for US to form on
if we can do it. He is the great man of the
North, and his word is Law whenever be
chooses to speak. IF we can form party,
with Grant at its head, he will crush out all
lesser lights.
Johnson has done all he dared to do for
US: had be dared more he would have been
stronger. He dallied too long with the
! great question before him. He saw them
from the beginning, and ought to have
taken his position promptly, and made issue
for the Congress in place of allowing Con-
| gress 10 make them upon him.
They will make no serious attemptto inn
peach him. They will talk, Introduce reso-
lutiOns, and perhaps present articles Of i'm
parchment in the House. but without IN
tending to send them to the Senate. I'M
peaching the President is big thing'-it
has its dangers as well as It's advantages to
them. and they viii not be likely to do any
thing which will affect the three thou
sand millions of public debt held by their
constituents.
The curtain has fallen only upon the FIRST
scene in the great political drama. The
grand principles for which ne fought were
lost-not because they were wrong-but
that their vindication Was attempted upor
questions involving slavery, and thus iden-
tilted, the former were lost sight Of in the
worlds hostility to the latter. But tn,
curtain must rise again upon other scenes
wherein that plague spot will not appear
and then viii come our vidication and oul
triumph; else self-governmeut is failare
and the divine right theory Is established
in the worlds history
