GEN. SHIELDS ENDORSES THE PREsiDENr
In a letter from Gen. SHIELDS, in response
to a committee soliciting his presence a.
a public meeting held at Macon, Mo, on
the 9th inst, we find the following en-
phatic endorsement of the Presidents
policy:
If this country is to be saved from 60
ing the way Of all other republics on this
continent, we will owe it under 0od 10
Andrew johnson. If we are ever again
to have anything worthy Of being called
a Union, we will owe it to his loyalty and
intrepidity. But a Union kept together
by bayonets, or what is worse, by a swarm
Of official vermin, appointed under civil
rights bills, to interfere with the laws,
tribunals and rights Of States, and the
hereditary hours preservation. No, let
US have a real Union-a Union of hearts,
laws, rights and privileges, or no Union.
The people will have no radicalized Union
with New England for it's head and Tex,
as for its tail. We will have no Union
with eleven States out or Africanized,

The Presidents Speech.

In giving on our outer form portion of
the Presidents I'D of February speech, we
have only copied the part which the Raids
Gals have denounced as most objectionable,
preferring TO give that as likely to be read
with most interest, III our inability to give
the whole. Whsteve may be said of a few
expressions, however, the speech, as a whole,
was logical, manly, and under the circum>
stances, sufficiently diguifed. 1t may not
be as classical as Sumner, or evenly bal
anced in It's sentences as Seward; but it is
relolent of wit, and possesses the sterling
qualities of frankness, courage and truth.
He took the ground that the Radicals were
working out another rebellion, and he had
the manliness to deuounoe their leaders by
name. The people like Just such talk,
for they can understand and appreciate it.
