Demands of the Extremists.

ITVIt tto V0tcos
The fact that the Republican party has won
its victories, and is carrying on its canvass with
q distinct declaration that it endorses the Con-
stitutional amendment as the basis of Southern
restoration, appears to stimulate the extreme
radicals to fresh extravaganza in their demands.
They spurn the idea of Cancellation and compro-
mise. The moderate terms of the amendment
excite their indignation, and form the ground
upon which they call for It's rejection. There
shall be no restoration of the Union, they tell
US, unless they dictate the conditions, and enjoy
control of the Government. Let us see what
the conditions amount to which they propose to
enforce.

From ne Tribune.
We print the news from Washington with some
degree of reluctance. 1t is of so important a
nature that we should like to have official as
suTapce of its truth. Failing in that, as official
assurances only come from Washington in
whimsical and selfish way, we take IL from those
we are accustomed to trust, and give IL Tor What
ii is worth. The whole echeme Of attempting
to bully England into payment of debt the
validity of which she does not sdmit, Is false
and insiucere. The President has no more idea
of going 10 war with England than he mas OF
making war upon New Zealand. He has no
idea Of enforcing his demands. But he knows
that, In the absence OF any posiuVe IT,
chip it is perfectly safe to bully England III
is the cheapest and most popular act tnaV any
President can try, is always IN order, anu geue
rally serves its turn The misfortune rs ChaS ~
is not very respectable. When an Admlnlsts-
tion has nothing left but menace, 1t becomes
disreputable and weak
The story about the French claims is OF the
same nature. Mr.. Seward, Mr.. Johnson, ana
General Grant, talking over Mexican affairs,
are of no more consequence than any other
three gentlemen conversing on that SUBJECT
They have no power 10 pay tne Frencn 1
Mexico. That is the duty of Congress. AT the
same time, the President may make 1t
"poliCy," and entrap the unWary ana neeuIess.
We certainly do not want any Mexican land.
We have enough to sell, without adding to our
possessions. Nor do we care about paying
French claims which we cannot verify, and the
Justice of which the Juarez Government has
always disputed. We have enough debt OF our
own; enough of false, irritating, inflated cur
reDcy to manage, without borrow money to
brbe France
This new policy-if policy it really isis as
bad as anything that MIR. johnson has done.
He might have asserted the honor of America
towards England during the Fenian troubles.
He had an opportunity to commend to England
the chalice she so persstently pressed upon us
during the war. He might at least have shown
some respect for the rights of his American
fellowcitizens, if not for the feelings OF large
body of them. This would have been the true
way to have asserted the Alabama claims.
Instead, however, he sent his chief officers to
the border, hurried off troops arrested Ameri-
can citizens, seized the telegraph wires, and
rihed private express cars, to please England.
President johnson sho we'd the real bent of his
mind then, and his tricks now are too trans
parent and false and necessitous too much
inspired by political design, to be accepted in
good faith The Administration must do better
in the "pOlicy" business. These springes may
catch woodcocks, but will not carry New York.
