Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-09-02

The New York Post is one of the Oldest,
ablest and most dignifed Of the New York
journals Its editor is a radical Abolition
list, but foreseeing the certain defeat which
awaits his party upon she simple question
Of admission Of the Southern States to
representation, he thus prepares the way for
the early abandonment Of the sinking ship
"The immediate admission Of all the
States TO representation is the ono question
now before the country; and all prudent,
wise Republicans, all men of every party
who desire the good Of the country, and can
see what is Immediately necessary to pro-
duce this good, will unite tosend to Congress
only men who will vote for the immediate
admission of delegates from all the States.
If it is a fact that the Republican conven-
tions will not nominate such men, so much
the worse for the Republican party, for it
will be deserted by the mass of the people,
! by all who are capable Of forming a sober
judgment upon the immediate necessities of
the country. Ii begins to be evident 10 all
men not carried away by their passions, that
the Republican leaders IN Congress proued them
selues incapable Of eUen making a consistent
| place, or footing Of rest0rdfiOa Their pro-
/ jects, mixed, homogeneous, absurd, have not
even the merit of definitely settling any
| question involved in the restoration Of the
States. They do not even please OF satisfy
| themselves. The leading and controlling
minds among the Republicans pretend to
| be, above all, in favor of universal or i'm
partial suffrage, but their own Constitutional
amendment says nothing about extending
| the suffrage; not only that, the Congress
which could pass a freedman's bureau bill
over the Presidents veto, and which contin-
ually talked about the rights and privileges
of the colored Unionists, would not pass a
bill comforting the suffrage on the blacks Of
the District Of Columbia, and establishing
impartial suffrage there.
Wherever the Republicans put in nomi-
nation for Congress candidate opposed 10
the immediate admission of all the States to
Congress, the Democrats will, if they are
wise, and really have the interest of the
country at heart nominate candidate from
the "war democrats" Such a candidate
will be acceptable to the best part Of the Re
publican voters, and in this way a majority
determined on right action can without a
doubt be obtained.
The Nelrs taking the Post as an indication,
thinks thai very soon the Radicals will make
a change Of base, insisting upon Southern
representation in Congress with as much We
hemence, as they have hitherto denied the
right to be represented. We quote;
''The Radicals we assert again, and with
the authority of one of their own organs,
will renounce their opposition to the right
Of the South to Congressional representation.
And, with the natural characteristics Of ia
naticism, having swerved from the line of
their first aspiration, they will plunge into
the new path with zeal aiming to outstrip
competition. They will be found, we ven
ture to say, the highest bidders for the po-
litical influence of the South. They will
offer more than Conservatism has offered,
and the question will be, how far, judging
from their antecedents, their pledges of
good faith can be accepted by the people
that have had such rude experienced their
fraacbarv -
