that they are determined to make war on his
policy, and, if possible, ruin him.
Under these circumstances what ia his
duty? What ought he to do for the welfare Of
the country and to save himself Clearly, he
must change his course with regard to those
opposing him. The sentiment of the country
is with him in his public policy relative to the
South. There is no mistake about this. His
very opponents have been compelled, In the
elections that have taken place, to disguise
their hostility to him. The reaction that is
setting in against them shows that the people
begin to see through the deception, and are
turning against these enemies of the admins
tration. But there is growing up at the same
time feeling Of dissatisfaction at what is
deemed weakness on the part of the President
He may not know this, but he ought to know
it. Whispers of discomfort are becoming gen.
eral among the friends of the President We
mean among conservative men-republicans,
and not copperheads. They say the issue is
fairly made between him and the radicals, and
that he ought to be decided and firm in the
crisis. These radicals cannot be brought over
to him, and he cannot 60 to them. They will
make war on him openly or insidiously all
along. The people now see this, and want him
to show his well known courage by removing
them from his Cabinet and from all Offices
under the government He will thus detach
the conservative portion of the republicans
from the radicals, and can reward them by the
Offices the latter now hold The time has come
when he ought to strike. The people will ad-
mire his courage as they now do his pa
triotism; and the reaction which is now setting
in will bring an overwhelming majority at the
next elections to his support. Delay will look
like weakness and be dangerous. Decision
the country.

HE FENrAN EXCITEMENT IN CANADA.--Accord-
;SSs to the intelligence we publish this morning
from Canada there has been revival of the
excitement there in regard to the Fenians. The
arrest OF one of the Head Centres and associates
in Cornwall created profound sensation. and
it is stated the populace were 80 exasperated
against them that there was danger of Lynch
law beng administered upon the prisoners
The reports from that quarter are stirring,
IL credence can be given them. AT all
events, 1t IL certain that a disturbed state of
feeling exists, which may In the end lead TO
some act on the part of the loyal Canadians
against the friends Of Ireland among them that
Will arouse feeling of resentment which n
will be difficult, II not impossible, to restrain.
We advise the monarchy -loving subjects of
Great Britain in Canada not to let their pos-
sions become too violent Their loyalty TO the
Crown may be established without resortine to
extreme or cruel measures toward those who
differ with them. Let them keep their tempers
cool and their powder dry When the buple
sounds to arms they have the right to take that
side whittier their inclinations, their instincts.
or their interests incline them. They can fight
for The monarch who rules them three thousand
miles away, or they can take the side of the
friends of free and liberal government, who are
their neighbop, and who wish to live on
amicable terms with them. They have the
right to choose; and upon them rests the
responsibility Of making mistake.
The news from Canada and the provinces
will continue for some time TO be exceedingly

port; to rent or purchase lands for him; to
erect for him schools and asylums at the
national expense; to organize system
for his entire care, support and control;
to give him the preference over intelli-
gent foreigners in regard to citizenship;
TO create for him special police; to maintain
for him standing army, whose only business
Is to guard his domestic and Industrial
interests; to devise for him series Of laws
never before contemplated In our history; to
establish for him safeguards never provided
for the white race, and to discriminate in his
favor against the whites. In other words, we
have shown that "the party opposed to the
President would build up an aristocracy Of
three millions Of negroes, having peculiar
rights and privileges, and superior to white
men in every legal respect" And now we
leave the public to decide who is the ''liar,r
who is the "villain," who has been guilty Of
"a wicked, deliberate, villanous lie."

The Civil Rights Bili-The True Policy
OF the Southern states.

| The Civil Rights Bili-The True POLICY
| OF the Southern States.
| The Civil Rights bill has become law of
the land over the Presidents veto. The act
declares all persons born in the United States
| not subject TO any foreign Power, and ex-
GLIDING Indians not taxed, citizens Of tho
United States, and that "such citizens, of every
race and color, without regard to any previous
condition Of slavery" &c, "shall have the same
right, in every State and Territory, TO make and
enforce contracts, to sue and be sued, be par
ties ana give evidence, TO Inherit purchase,
sell, hold and convey real and personal prop
erty, and to full and equal benefits of all
laws and proceedings for the security Of per-
son and property, as are enjoyed by white citi-
zens; and shall be subject to like punish
ment, pains and penalties any law, statute,
ordinance regulation or custom TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding" 49,
This is the substance of the bill. It's execu.
ton or enforcement is committed TO the district
and circuit courts Of the United States and
the commissioners thereof, and 10 the United
States district attorneys, marshals and depu-
ties, the officers and agents of the Frcedmen's
Bureau, land to every other officer who may
be specially empowered by the President of
the United States;" and, finally, ait shall be
lawful for the President, or such persons as he
may empower for that purpose, to employ such
part Of the land or naval forces Of the United
States, or Of the militia, as shall be necessary
to prevent the violation and enforce the due
execution Of this act"
This Is the law. II sweeps away not only al
the old slave codes and free negro laws of the
Southern States, but the legislation which they
have adopted in reference to their black popu-
lation since the suppression Of the rebellion
and their submission to the supreme authority
OF the United States. From Virginia to Texas
President johnson, acting upon the old truism
that Rome was not built in day, had adopted
the policy, under some general instructions, OF
leaving TO each State the adoption Of It's own
system Of laws touching the civil as well as the
political rights of It's black population under
the new order Of things resulting from the abo-
ition and constitutional Introduction Of slavery.
Thus the civil rights Of the blacks In every
State, from Virginia to Texas, have been more
DR. less enlarged; but In no case that We are
aware Of have they been placed on the same
ooting a. white citizena In any event all
hose STATE srodsaAiss are now superseded.
