ES- A perusal of the Northern papers
published since the Presidents veto and
speech, says the Mobile Advertiser and
Register of the 7lh inst, shows the sup
port accorded TO him is most hearty and
very general. The appreciation is far
from being confined to the Democratic
and neutral press. 1t comes freely from
leading Republican papers. In New
York, very strong feeling in the Presi
dents favor has been awakened and is
openly manifesting itself. 1t is long, in
deed, since political excitement was at so
high heat in the great metropolis. The
Boston Post notes it as a remarkable
sign that Henry ward Beecher plants
himself fairly and sluarely on the Presi-
Dental platform, and in his lecture eulo-
gzed Andrew Johnson AS an eminent and
pure patriot The New York Post and
Springfield Republican side with The
President, and so does the New York
Times, but in mild, meaning way

The Presidents P0llCy-The Object.

We would warn our people against F
too manifest desire we have noticed or
the part of some, to attribute the action
of the President in vetoing the Freed
menes Bureau Bill and bis oren hostility
towards Sumner and Stevens, to his
adoption Of Southern feelings and South
ern measures. The President is for all
for no particular section. 1t is true that
our condition was the immediate cause
that led to his action. But in the treats
ment of the Southern States by Congress
was a constitutional principle involved
the subyersion Of which tended to over
throw the checks upon parties and threat,
ened with its success the subyersion Of
The Government. 1t was not for us, on1y.
that be commenced the fight Il will
not be for us alone that he will continue
the fight It wastcgun and will be con.
tinued 70" aR the people Ct the Union
I receden.s are dangerous things in Gov
ernments, when their object is in direct
violation Of constitutional barriers. 1t
was in the success Of this precedent in
our case, that he feared for the danger Of
the whole and placed himself between the
wLole people and the Radicals, as a bar
rier, Il is both right and proper that we
should sustain him. 1t is proper that in
public meetings he should be endorsed
But we very much doubt The proprety Of
forgetting that that moderate branch of
the Republican party which endorses his
policy and gives him aid, must be made
TO believe that we have something else at
heart besides the immediate interests of
our own particular section in representa-.
ton in Congress. We cannot succeed
even in that, without their aid, and to
obtain that, We must convince them that
we are loyal not to sections only, but to
the entire Union. Therefore, we say let
US draw a curtain over the past, and let
us start from the time Of the commence
ment Of The Presidents policy of res,ora-
ton, and 60 hand in hand with all who
endorse him ard who adopt his principles
of "lhe Union, the Constitution and the
enforcement Of the laws" Let has not
be lifting up this curtain and expo
sing the skeletons of the past. Let Us
bury them from ucw, if we cannot con
ceal them from thought. They are Of the
past. We have now to deal with the
present and the future. Let US show
ourselves equal 10 this duty. The work
IS great enough, the object sufficiently
worthy to call forth all our energies and
excite all our noble thoughts. Let US
keep in view, in endorsing the Presidents
policy, bis Object Clarion.
