In the synopsis of the reports of the See
retaries Of the Treasury, Interior and War.
which we publish to-day, the gst Of the mes
sage is contained. Except what the Cabinet
officers present to the country in their clab.
crate reports, the Message contains little
save reinstatement Of "My Policy" in the
faded rhetoric of Mr.. Seward, as Eorney
Of THE Press phrases it. In thus stupidity
presenting again to the nation "My Policy.
which has been condemned and repudated
SO utterly by the people, after one Of the
most thorough and exhaustive discussions,
Andy johnson shows the would.be dcspot
| in Il more glaring and revolving manner, than
! he has ever heretofore exhibited himself in
that character to the American people.
| With accustomed audacity. he tells Con-
| gress that the late Rebel States have been
| thoroughly reconstructed at his hands: that
! the courts are everywhere opened and
impar III justice dispensed to every class of
the population: that, III u word, complete
order and tranquility reign, uninterrupted in
their course, and all that remains for Con,
| grcs# to do is to admit loyal" Representa-.
| t!YrI and Senators to seats, to complete the
| perfect reorganization of the country. This
too in the face Of the wholesale massacres
OF New Orleans. Memphis and other local.,
ties, and the multitude Of outragcs inflicted
by his reconstructed and pardoned rebels
daily on the Union men and freedmen in
every quarter Of the seeded States.
Notwithstanding the advice and prediction
Of his friends that the President had bat to
know the will Of the people to gracefully
conform 10 it, and give up the wickcdncss
and folly Of his 'pOIjcy, he has shown thai
