EB-Those who sincerely love their
country. may now rest confident that in
the Chief Magistrate, they have one
who will not ignore their ancient rights :;
nor expunge as did his predecessor, the
written guarantees of their freedom by
arbitrary and unconstitutional, infamous
and despo:ic acts, President johnson,
has not cut himself loose from the Radi-
calls With them he was never idcnti-
fled nor did he hold anything, in COM
mon, with them but in his recent most
admirable and thoroughly self abncga-
ting aud patriotic veto message, and in
his speech delivered to the people in
Washington on February End, 1866,
ne has given the Radicals to understand
that from him they need not look to
further their wicked schemes aud that
he considers themselves as traitors, and
their doctrines reasonable. All honor
10 him. who, at this time, has like the
President, the courage to be Il patriot,
and the wisdom and nerve, boldly to
proclaim aud sustain it,
The principles which he has cnuncia.
ted are what the Democratic party, as
mass, cordially sustain, and cmphati-
cally endorse. 1t is not alone the man.
So far as the President upholds, protects
and defends the Constitution, so far will
the Democratic party sustain him
Should he depart from that path, that
grand old party, as in the past, will be
found then the stern, uuflinching un-
compromising foe to all enemies Of Lib
-erty, civil or religious.

I RADICAL LEGIsLATION'-Neve in
the history Of this country were the
rights Of the people in such danger from
Legislative acts as they are at present.
Senator COwan stated in speech re.
Gently, in the United States Senate. that
there were seventy amendments to the
Constitution then pending before that
dody. Senator Lane of Kansas has pre-.
sented petition in favor of remo,i inc all
distinctions on account Of sex Petitions
and harrangues, in favor of negro equal
ity aud suffrage are of daily occurrence.
We appeal to the common sense of the
people whether this is the proper time for
such experiments. Is it opportune to de.
eide now whether women or negroes
should be endowed with the elective
franchise ! There is 81 much to be done
IN the simple way of re adjusting the
political system aud replacing the Union
secure uDon the foundations already
built, that on madness or crime would
attempt to tamper with those foundations
at this crisis. What the Republic needs
now. more than at any other time. in the
National Legislature, is torbearance.
moderation, reflection and patriotic dis.
passionate action in behalf of the general
interests. What on the contrary. is the
record that is daily presented The
exhibition of passion, pride, resentment
and partisan malevolcnce Wild and

chaos out of order; how, then. can we
expect it to create order out Of the con-
fusion that prevails One Senator clam
ors for women's rights another for
negro equality. Thad. Stevens den9un-
ces and threatens the President-de-
cIarcs that he should be impeachod.
The spirit of exultation and fury governs
the national councils, We turn to the
people, the source of power. for a sign

when will they intorpose to check the
