OCR Cotemporary is anxious to know
whether we agree with President Johnson. -
To relieve his anxiety in the premises we re-
spond very cheerfully that we agree with him i'll
very many more points than our cotempora
ry. We agree with him in the support which
he gave to the war, in his declaration that
loval men alone should be entrusted with the
Reconstruction Of Government; in his posi-
ton that intelligent conscious traitors should
be punished and treason made odious in the
suspension of the '.abeas corpus, and Govern
mental supervision of affairs in the rebel
States; in his declaration that suffrage to a
greater or less extent should be extended to
the colored people; in his suggestion of an
amendment of the Constitution basing Rep
resentation in Congress on the qualified vo-
ters: in his continued retention of republi-
cans in the Cabinet and in the Offices of the
Government generally. And to 60 back we
endorse his denunciation of JEFF. Davis and
traitorous conspirators in the United States
Senate. and his vote to expel Bright from the
Senate for just such talk as Garrett Davis
and Salisbury are now guilty Of We also
endorse his speech on the acceptance of the
republican nomination for Vice President
his action as military Governor of Tennessee
in squelching the rebels aud emancipating the
slaves in that State his declaration to the
negroes that tins was not exclusey the
white man country, but was their country as
much as any body elses country, and that
man was 10 he valued for his moral worth

There are many other acts, positions, pin
cipes and policies of Andrew johnson which
we endorse. which we reserve till our newly
converted aud very Jealous johnson cotempo-
Gry shall make an inventory of his johnson
principles
Briefly, SO far as the President agrees with
u.s. we stand by him. does our cotemporary
propose to do more than that?

If all other means fail the colored people
of the United States in securing the ordinary
rights of citizenship and of humanity there is
one mode left which will win beyond all aues.
ton. The negroes are all protestant, and
the Catholics of this country are arrayed in
q body against them as much for that reason
as any other. Let the negroes change their
religious faith and become catholics instead
of protestants, and such howl for civil and
religious rights will be raised as never has
been heard in this country. Then the democ
racy, in fear of losing the catholic vote"
will hasten to change front on the question
and the republicans true to their principles
will still insist on the equal rights of all citi-
zens in Republican Government and the
negroes will obtain their rights by universal
consent.
Tie catholics in Europe, at Rome, and in
their colleges and their converts make no
distinction based upon color, but hold all the
human family to be OF one blood, and the
children Of one Father in Heaven-and in
this country if the negroes were catholics
instead of protestants the church would act
upon the same principle and carry out the
same policy, but as it is, it suits to foster the
prejudice against the eolored people, as it
thereby secures the exclusion Of four millions
of protestant people from any voice or intlu-
ence in public and political affairs in this
country. Bat if the negroes would become
catholics, church policy and political power
.YuIt la
add this immense accession to the 'catholic
vote which already holds the balance of
power and use it as occasion demands
That church is not so stupid as to give its in
taence TO the exclusion from equal rights and
political Influence at the polls body of four
millions of catholic citizens. We must look
to protesiants to find exhibitions of such un-
just and mpoiitic stupidity.
Sad as the fact may seem it is nevertheless
true that The protestant faith of the colored
people of the United States stands in the
way and bars the door to their entrance into
the enjoyment of the rights of citizens from
which they were so long excluded by slavery.
In the political complications OF the future
the votes OF these protestants might prevent
the catholic vote from constituting the ''bal-
lance of power between the political parties
OF the country, and hence while in all other
lands whites and blacks stand on perfect
equality in the catholic church, in our coun
try the church sanctions and enforces the
prejudice against color, and the catholics cast
solid vote against concedlng civil or poiti-
cal rights 10 colored people. And the cath
olic vote may be strong enough to effect the
object.
