TIE HAY OF PEACE

For months, the advocates of my Policy" en-
loved whatever advantage might accrue from their
own loud, ineessant scarcely disputed vocerations
that theirs was the only plan before the country for
restoring the States lately in revolt to their proper
relations with their teadhstly loyal sisters and the
Union. As Louis Napoleon, after his bloody usurpa-
ton, compelled France to choose between the Empire
and chaos so Johnsonsm virtually said to the Amer
can people, "Choose between My Policy and
anarchy, with prospect of another Civil War" And
the tmid, the luxurious, the mercantile the money
making, were thus strongly attracted toward the
johnson programme not as better than another, but
as the only plan that even seemed to promise speedy
restoration, in vitality and essence of the Union.
At length the rival plan of Congress was reported,
matured and passed by the required two-thirds OF
either House How was it opposed What objec-
tons were urged against it,,
Nobody could pausibly stgmatize it as harsh or
vndictvc. II proposed no confscation, no disfran.
chisement 1t did not even require the Enfranchise-
ment of the loyal Blacks as we think it should have
done. II did not therefore, embody the peculiar
views Of Mr.. Stevens, Mr. Sumner, nor any other
extremist" On this point proposed one obviously
Just rule alike for North and South: If you see fit
10 exclude Blacks, or any other caste, from
your lists of legal voters you shall not count them
basis of political power" The fairness of this rule
is so manifest that no argument is needed to commend
il to every candid mind. To state it correctly and
lucdly is to general assent to its propnety.
8" But then you leave the loyal Blacks without
adequate protection for their rights"
Most certainly, the plan Of Congress is open TO
challenge from this side if from either 1t does not

The debatable ground in Pennsylvania so far as
respects Congress will doubtless be in the following
districts which, having the smallest majortes, may
be fairly regarded as in doubt:
Y PHILADELPHIA and Bucks (ThsyerJ Union majority.
Y schuylkin County. (Strouse0, a. Democratic ma
jorty.
XII Luzerne SC. lDcnnsons, SIS Democratic majority
XIV Dauphin. sc. (Mlers) 81 Union majority
XVI Adasas and Bedford (Koonizs o Union majority
XXI Fayetie District (Dawsons). l25 Democratic ma
lory.
Out of these five districts, the Republicans have
three majorities, the weakest Of all being that of
Gen. Koontz.
The With District, which is composed of the 22l
23d and 25th Wards of Philadelphia, and Bucks
County, is now represented by NJ Russell
Thayer who has declined a denomination.
This District now puts forward Col Caleb
N. Taylor, who received the nomination in conven-
ton over Col Barton II. jerks and Gen. Ely. Col
TAYLOR is farmer of wealth. education and popular
ity. and announces himself radical opponent of the
President, and an advocate Of liberty to all men,
The Democrats have nominated Henry p Ross,
veteran Copperhead, who believes the South right
and the North wrong, and who was accordingly de-
feated by Russell Thayer in 1861. The District was
formerly Democratic, but the establishment Of manu-
factories, owned by popular Republcans-Col. jerks,
principay-has no doubt, aided to secure Republic
can majority The contest in this district will be fought
on the squarest issue, and victory the Union side
will be strong test of the unpopularity Of the Pres-
dents policy.
The Xth District, composed Of Lebanon and Schuyl-
kill Counties, is now represented by !Myer Strouse,
an intense Copperhead, but intellectual cipher in
Congress He has been dismissedby his constituents to
make way for Dr. CD Gloninger, German physician.
His onponent on the Union side is Gen. H. l.. Cake,
an intelligent soldier, VINO owns both property and
laurels, and will make good fight. In 1860 part of
Northumberland and the whole Of Schnylkill County
constituted the XIth District, and elected the Hon.
JAS. H. Campbell, our present Minister to Sweden,
by the small majority of $40. Since the reapporon'
ment Lebanon and Schuylkill which now comprise
the Xth District, have given diminishing Democratic
majority. In 1862, Srouse beat Campbell Bye votes;
but his last majority was only AS. Gen. Hartrant,
the Union candidate in 1865 for State Auditor carried
the District by majority of 3l2. This year it is
doubtful whether the Democratic majority in Schuyl
kill County will exceed 100, while Lebanon County
promjsos 600 for Cake-suffcient to elect him il he
gets it.
Tho yIIth District embraces Luzene and susque-
hanna Counties, in North Pennsylvania and is repre-
sented by Charles Dennison, Democrat. SuSque-
hanna is an agricultural county, largely Republican
and, with Bradford and Tioga, formerly made up the
XIvth District which in 1860 elected the Hon. Gausha
