Presidents Policy. 1t is not neces.
saryy, IT ttEfis late day in the discussion
offheAuestionsHew befoHelthe people,
to consume, space to- show that the
views Of President LINCOLN, and the
resolution of Congress referred to in
DR.. CAssELBERY's caro-, have no appli-
cation to the questions which are now
at issue, and to be decided at the com
ing election. 1t is insulting to- the
common sense of every member of the
Union party, and every admirer of the
honoredg LINCOLN, to say that his
policy is the policy of ANDY, J oHNsoN.
AAid 1t is AN insult to the memory of
E,that martyredg hero, which no soldier
of the Republic should have the eff
fronteryo to- make We have i no
patience toawaste words upon it. ~ "a

policy of President Jo6nson.aiiiHe
was a few days ago Il appointed rraoit to to the

since the, close, of the war reduced to
The pittance Of about $500 per a an ntIlr

President J oHNsoN, and his adherence
,tofthe organization of the Union Re
publican party, and his determination
to vote with it at the coming election
Hhds iiF 50 well k4qwn shat it Isl dp-
necessary for us to refer-te special
conversational unlass n0the Doctor
should deny it. We will, however,
state one incident. .Ay young Demo-
cratic soldier, well known in this com
munity, was, a few weeks ago, induced
to make application for this very Of
fee. He went to Dr. C4ssELBERRY
to obtain his name to his application,
which the Doctor gave very readily. !
The young soldier told him that he |
had had an intimation that he z(the /
Doctor was a friend Of the Presi- /
dents policy, and urged him to make
application for the Post Office. 81 The |
Doctor replied that he, could not get |
the appointment, as, he A,s1ds not "a |
supporter of the President, and that |
hea would not have any ny. office. Ia ct |
at TIE, + same time. we are led 10 |
believe che had permitted his name'to |
be presented to theRrssiJent for the
very Office for which the young soldier
was asking his assistance. We leave
ourgreaders to judge what assurances
he had privately given asitor his polit-
ical views and. conduct Such is the
story as told us by the soldier himself.
We hayein no words of abuse of DR..
CAssELBERRY:s We leave him to the
Jndgmsat-of the party with which he
has acted from the days of the 9t'rug4

esteem of his fe4long friendsn for
such miserable mess of pottagees,i as a

Asense, of self condemnation will be
his sufficient tormentor. - His bpoIfti-

and disafections under the i cir ss n

to deepen the opposition of the Union
