The PRESIDENT SuPPoRTED BY THE PEo
pLE.--The Washington correspondent O.
the Cincinnati Commercial says: 7eaoh
On the issue made, with the President
by the Incorporate zeal of the Radicals il
the cause of "progess" THAT OF immediate
suffrage for the Southern blacks-1there Car
he NO doubt that outside of Boston the
people are with the President, and believe
with him that period Of putation and pre-
paration is necessary to teach the uses o.
the elective franchise to the colored race IN
1.-THE Southern States. fj ,.a.,.,,r.,.,.s 81,
The loag-talked-of and much-deploret
"breachp is coming, and it is well that thu
country be made to understand that it il
one of the Radical forcings knowing
sery we'll what the Presidents views OF
negro suffrage we're. Mr.. Sumner, imme
ediately after the delivery Of his labored eli
fort in the Senate, sent his colored friends
to the White house, to draw them out in ;
tangible shape, and lie has accomplished
his object. He has compelled the Presi
dent to commit himself on question bu
recently brought up for public discussion
aud one that was not dreamed OF in TIN
canvass of 1864, which resulted in Mr.
Johnsons election. ~ -, .5.',,f !.
In the main question of immediate sui
frage, the Presidents views will be warml,

Mr.. johnson has just commenced tn
!. experiment of how well the Radicals cal
get along without the Administration
A day or two since he caused the remova
Of on, earnest postmaster ut Lafayette
Indiana, and the appointment ola gentle
man in his place whose views have beel
more in accordance with the Administra
ton. Mr.. Wilson, of Massachusetts,, re
Gently took occasion to allude to this mat
ter Of patronage and its effect in infuencin
the actions Of public men. He and hi
friends he said, would scorn to be bough
and sold with Federal Offices. Exactly So
but he and his friends must remember tn
saying of celebrated English literary char
acter who, in receiving a opension fror
King George, suddenly ceased his admire
ton for the Stuarts, and, on being aske
the reason, replied, i" Sir it would not b
q good manners to drink the health of Kin
James in wine that is paid for by Kin
1 George" If the Radicals went to drink t
4 the health Of Thad Stevens, let them nc
do tin wine paid for by Andy johnson.
