The New York Post is onc Of tn,
oldest, ablest and most dignifcd Of the
New York journals. It's editor is .
radical Abolitionist, but foresecing the
certain defeat which awaits his party
upon the simple question Of admission
Of the Southern States to representa-
ton, he thus prepares the way for the
early abandonment ofthc sinking ship
"Ihe immediate admission Of all the
States to representation is the one
question now before the country and
all prudent, wise Republicans, all men
Of every party who desire the good of
the country, and can see what is i'm
mcdiatcly necessary to produce this
good, will unite to send to Congress
only men who will vote for the imme-
diate admission Of delegates from all
the States.
Hit is n fact that the Republican
conventions will not nominate such men
so much the worse for the Republican
party, for it will he deserted by the
mass Of the people, by all who are
capable Of forming Il sober Judgment
upon the immediate necessities of the
country, 1t begins 10 be EVIDENT to all
men not carried away by their passions
that the Republican leaders in Con
gress proved themselves incapable Of,
even making II consistent place, or
footing, Of restoration. Their projects
mixed, homogeneous, absurd, have not
even the merit Of definitely settling any
question involved in the restoration Of
the States. They do not even please
or satisfy themselves. The leading
and controlling minds among the Re
publicans pretend to be, above all, in
favor Of universal or impartial suffrage,
but there own Constitutional amend
ment says nothing about extending the
suffrage not only that. the Congress
which could pass u irecdman's bureau
bill over the Presidents veto, and
which continually talked about the
rights and privileges Of the colored
Tn o%nists, would not pass bill con
the suffrage on the blacks of
the District Of Columbia, and establish
ing impartial suffrage there.
Wherever the Republicans put in
nomination for Congress a candidate
opposed to the immediate admission of
I'll the States to Congress, the Demo
rats will, if they are wise, and really
AVE the interest ofthe country at heart,
dominate Il candidate from the ''war
|emocrats." Such Il candidate will be
.cceptable to the best part of the Re
publican voters, andi this way a ma-
determined on right action can
without a doubt be obtained. {
The Ncms taking the Post as an in.
l"ication thinks that very 500 the Rad !
Gals will make change Of base, insist
ng upon Southern representation i'll I
congress with as much %vchemence, us I
hey have hitherto denied the right to
'c represented. We quote: ;
"Thc Radicals we assert again, and
the authority of one of their own
'rgans will renounce their opposition ,
o the right oftle South to Congrcsion- i
| representation. And, with the INST
raj characteristics Of fanaticism, hay
ne swcrvcd from the line Ofthcir first !
they will plunge into the
cw path with II zeal aimingto outstrip {
ompctition. They will be found, we {
say, the highest bidders for -,
he political influence Of the South :.
hey will offer more than Conservatism !
as offered, and the question will be,
ow far, Judging from their antccedents, c
lcir pledges of good faith Il be ac- y
opted by thcpeople that have had such O.
rude experience Of their %trcachcry.' .
