President johnson and tho Trae Policy for
His administrator.
President johnson, with commendable mag
nanimity and the best intentions, has been
very unfortunate in his policy Of Southern res
toration. His generous concessions to the late
revolted States and their people concerned in
the rebellion have evidently been accepted by
implacablc rebels a. covering license for
sanguinary outrages against the poor emanci
pated negroes and abolition Yankees," while
| in the North those fearful scenes Of Southern
disorder and bloodshed, though fomented by
Northern agitators and perpetrated by Southern
desperadoes Of the school of the Kansas "bor-
der rufiian" have operated and are operating
to the prejudice OF the great body Of the South
crn people and the administration and its sup
porters.
We are dealing with facts, and, as Gradgrind
has II, ''iacts is what we want" Unjust as It
is to the masses Of the Southern people, Il is
still fact that such outbreaks of Southern
violence as the Memphis riots and the New
Orleans massacre arc effectively used by North
crn radicals for electioneering purposes, as
illustrations Of the prevailing tone and temper
OF the South and as the legitimate fruits Of the
Presidents forgiving and confiding policy Of
Southern restoration. Thus, while we perceive
from the Presidents receptions from point to
point along his present journey that his per-
sonal complaints against Congress are met
| with scandalous retaliatons Of mockery and
| insult, we see from the returns Of the Maine
election that, from the causes indicated, new
and powerful impulse has been given to the
Southern reconstruction plan Of Congress
against the immediate restoration policy Of the
Executive.
We hold that the popular groundswcll which
has thus carried the Maine election by o ma
| jority which dwarfs the majoritics Of Abraham
Lincoln is a popular movement which, from
all the signs Of the times, will sweep across the
continent and carry the constitute -ional amend
ment Of the present Congress and DECIDE the
