The Herald to the President.

The New York Herald, of Wednes.
day, in leading editorial, gives the
following advice to the President:
Since the appalling tragedy where
by Andrew johnson became Pre-
sident of the United States, we have
cordially supported him and his
Southern policy against the extreme
reconstruction programme of the
Northern radicals. From recent
events, however, South and North.
including the New Orleans massacre.
the Maine election and the Preside nt's
Western excursion, and from all the
passing indications of Northern pub
lie opinion, we are satisfied that, in
opposing the constitutional amend
mentadopted by Congress, Mr.. John
son, i'll the approaching Northern
elections, will be defeated. In the
widening OF his conflict with the
radicals to Il conflict with Congress.
he has evidently been very unfortu-
nate, and, in the further prosecution
OF this contest, there is but a gloomy
prospect Of his ultimate success.
As man oe the people, therefore,
"a believer in the doctrine OF IL
cheerful submission to the will of the
people, and, as n sworn defender of
tn" Federal Constitution, President
johnson, in our view Of the present
crisis, has bnt one course to pursue.
1t is to take up the constitutional
amendment, now before the people
of the North; and push it through
oil the still excluded Southern States
as rapidly as possible, so that, during
the approaching last session of the
present Congress, those States NAV
be relnstated in both houses. In this
way, the Northern radicals and South
ern radicals may be speedily silenccd
and put down, with the practical re.
storation of the Union on IL solid and
satisfactory constitutional foundation.
a little pressure upon the Governors
OF the Southern States concerned.
like that which was applied in behalf
of the constitutional amendment
ab"iishing slavery, will do the work
III regard to this new amendment. and
when done by Virginia, South Caro-
lima, or Texas, these States will surely
meet with the recognition and re-
admission into Congress accorded to
Tennessee.

Eiectfoncerins-Irish Consistency. .

Eiectfoncerins--Irish Consistency.
We see it stated that delegation
OF Irish citizens waited npon Presi
dent johnson on Tuesday last, ant
stated their grievances and theil
wishes, saying that they had tt
choose between the radicals and
their lifelong friends, theDemocrats
They wished some change in the
Cabinet, and denied that they had
ever committed treason against Eng
land. They asked for new Minister
to England, in place of Mr.. Adams,
and suggested that the Alabama
claims,be pressed-which, of course,
would be an admirable means of in
volving this country in war with
Great Britain. They wound up by
declaring that there were 100000
Irish voters in this country, and
asked that this fact should be re-
membered in parcelling out the Offices
in the gift of the Government.
We think the Fenian Brotherhood
has been most wofully misrepresented
in such an application as that mar
rated. We are glad to SEQ that the
President replied sensibly. He felt,
he said, the force of their sugges-
tions, and avowed that he was strong
ly tincturcd with sympathy for the
Irish, and would do all that could lie
done for them.
And now for the consistency of all
this. These Irishmen, with their
100000 votes, aver that they had not
committed treason against England.
Did not many of them swear, and
act upon the allegation, that the peo-
pie of the Southern States commit
ted treason against the Government,
because they took up arms in de-
fence, as they supposed, of their
constitutional rights. Their case is
precisely parallel, and little be-
yond, on the part of the South, at
this moment. Ireland is represented
in the British Parliament-the South
ern States, paying their share of the
taxation, are denied representation
IN the Parliament of this country
the Congress.
We wish all success to q people in
their struggles for liberty-we would
be glad to see Ireland free from the
British yoke" as Irishmen are fain
to call the union of their country
with England; but, at the same time,
we cannot avoid noting that some of
the leading so-called Irish patriots
Shields, Meagher, Corcoran and
others-enlisted to put down IL ere
bellion" of people who desire to
have Government of their own
framing. This is Irish consistency,
with vengeance.
The President did not commit him
self in the above interview and we are
glad he did not. He knows full well
himself to day, Us the great pacificator
and restorer Of the Union of these
States, that the people of Ireland,
politically speaking, are o thousand
times better off than are the people
OF the oppressed and excluded States
of the South. The evils of the former
are for the most part sentimental and
imaginary, while those of the latter
are positive and real.
