NECESSITY OF FIRMNESS ON THE
PART OF THE PRESIDENT

The New York Neaos of Tuesday ad
vises the President to remain firm III the
the policy he has laid down for the restor-
alton of the Union. 1t says:
We are glad to know that notwitlstand-
ing the threatening utterances of the Rad
icals, based upon the result OF the recent
elections, President Johnson Remains firm
in his convictions as, ustice and l,r"s 'rlety
of his policy. His impression thar be-
fore the expiration of his term OF Office the
people will come around to his position
is al evidence of his selt-consciousness OF
the purity of his motives, aud no man
who remembers the Presidents past
course can believe that, deennng himself
right, he will yield to the clamor ct his
enemies.
The invitation OF Radical committee in
Washington to late Union soldiers to meet
in conclave in thar city on the first OF
December, in order to ''assure protection
of the loyal majority in the Thirty>ninth
Congress- is fraught with serious danger
to the liberties of the people, and at no
time, in case of such an emergency, would
the tirnness and determination OF Chief
Magistrate be found more necessary to
preserve the dignity Of his Office and pro-
tect the rights Of the people. Congress
engaged in It's legitimate duties, needs no
other ''protection than that provided by
the laws of the country. But when. in a
time Of profound peace, multitude OF par
tisans is called upon to assemble within a
stones throw of the deliberations OF a leg
islatIve body to as ''assnre protection" to
its members, it does not require Il great
stretch Of fancy to believe that the desi gus
of these men are traitorous, and ot a rev
olutionary character.
The frequent violent naenaces OF sucl
men as Butler and Wendell Phillips
against the Presidents official dignity are
but the warnings OF the Storm that Kadl-
calis,n is prepared to raise i'll order to car
ry out its purpose. These men forger, or
appear to forget, that theextreme4 4nen of
their party are not to 5e estimated bv
the numerical strength that kidcalism-
or Republican istn-showa at the polls.-
The recent State elections have all had
local bearings that have colored the re-
suits with an apparent antagonls.n to the
President but we question whether the
vast majority Of those who heI p TO swell
the Radical votes would be found willing
to support the measures Of the desperate
political gamblers who are planning and
plotting against the peace Of the country
and the liberties of the citizens NC
AS in all times of popular colnmotions,
we find the present Radical ftornenters OF
revolution are men OF the lowest moral
character. With such individuals as
Butler, and Forneey,, and Thhad; Stevens
to lead Tie mob against the President,
history repeats itself, and the spectacle is
Presented of the worst men Of the com
m,unisy guiding tie popular impnllsses into It
channels OF anarchy and :bl9odshe'd7:. a. IA
Wehopei sincerely that President, JophIup /
son, remembering, that the Americaa,n an pspf5j'
Pie look to HIN fot 'frnnnessr and Yclef:s5y,,

METEoRIC SHOWER AT LYNCH
2-- s53 BURG t's# #3S ~ @.,.t-s 4e- =

They had shower Of falling stars or
something else at Lynchburg on Monday
afternoon, judging by the following ex~
tracts from tie papers Of that city. The
Nesos says:
About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
crowds Of persons, black and white, male
and female, could be seen in all directions
on the streets, viewing showers of falling
stars, which shooting from their orbits,
approached the e: rth, and were distinctly
visible to the naked eye. The showers
seemed to be confined principally to one
portion OF the horizon, and appeared to
be in great profusion. They were to be
seen only III direction due South. and a
short distance to the East of South Some
OF these falling meteors appeared like
huge round balls, and did not change the
appearance as long as they were visible.
others were drawn out to a very great
length, apparently not broader than the
hand. All OF them had the appearance
OF FURNISHED silver, dazzling and bright.
The showers lasted for about forty min
utes, when they ceased altogether to be
visible. The atmosphere was very hazy
during the time OF their continuance,
which greatly contributed to make them
more plainly observable by the naked eye.
Ibe number OF these stars seen is stated
by some at thirty, by others at forty, anG
by others still at fifty, sixty, and SO on, as
high as one hundred. We did not our
selves count more than ten.

2 sAPPRoACH1Na SESSION OF gCoNGREss.
The Baltimore Transcript in referring to

2 APPROACHING SESSION OF CONGRESS-
The Baltimore Transcript in referring to
the approaching session Of Congress, ,ssayi
Another session of Congress is close at
hand. The people of the United States
are looking forward to it with unmistak-
able symptoms of solicitude and dread
The South is evidently expecting the worst.
Whatever the result OF the elections held
this summer and fall, we have seen no
reason to believe that majority OF the
American people desire the adoption OF
the extreme measures threatened by the
leaders of the radical party. A larger
number OF their own political organiza-
tions is opposed to the schemes OF the m.
traists; and the conservatives, who sup.
port the administration, are not so small
minority, as to be entitled to no consider
alton III the policy, which Congress may
adopt tor the. settlement of our national
difficulties. On the contrary they mum
Der millions in the free States, and if, the
people OF the South are any portion Of
the American people, the Conservatives
have large majority Of the country
Were we disposed to treat subjects vital
to American freedom and happiness in q
party or sectional spirit, we would desire
to see the triumph III Congress Of the most
extreme faction Of the dominant party
But loving our country, and desiring its
prosperity and peace, we can only hope,
though it seems hoping against hope, that
the madness that goeth before destruction,
will he restrained, and wiser and health
Ter spirit prevail in our public councils.
