pohey does moi desire the 0eeat of FDrsh an od ava
tried friend IL TINT pilcy We choose TO 90 b'hnd The
daily decets If Hg TRIBUNE, It's arli false dispatches
from Washington, It's grOilng nSlelrrSrulelouso me
language of the chief Magistrate This sc are 80 lntu tn
Ously and nce Oue.g psIeSd TIA! by them alone We
should discover. if we had not es,nsd b' sampler cans
that The TRIBUNE. that MIR Greeley saous te wishes
of Mr. Johison, Knowing his wishes Mr. Gree'ey Is
yet capable of the dupciIy of oonceang them-worso
Of Incorporating them. In one column OF ihh
TRIBUNE openly wagns war against tie iFcSlorh.s
restoration policy in al its essential parts ~ another
column he labors to throw Connecticut into the hanus
Of the dicas by presenting thelnhis encres-hs rs
supporters and by presenting him as sharpening the
blade with which they hope TO stab him.
The falsehood and baseness OF the above can
need no calculation to our readers. 1t is not
only false that we ever represented the Radicals
as the supporters of what is termed 1.-THE
Presidents policy" but It'll a fact that, only last
Thursday, we copied from The World and heart
lily indorsed the following report of Gen. Haw'
ley's responses to hostile qucrist at meeting
he lately addressed at Norwich
Question Do you approve the Presidents veto OF the
Freedmen Bureau bill and the Messenger $50
An,per No If had been Senator. should have

If these answers are not frank and honest,
we know not how answers could be; aud We
have done our best to let the People of Con.
necticut know not only that Gen. Hawley gave
them, but that We urge his support because he
gave them. No reader of The TRIBUNE can
be in doubt on this point.
As to the personal efforts Of Mr.. English and
his wire.workers to obtain a Presidential In
dorsement, and rs to the measures taken by
Gen. Hawley and his friends TO ascertain how
far those efforts had succeeded, our correspond
ents at Washington have telegraphed the facts,
so fast and so far as they have been able to
ascertain them; and we have printed them; but
without giving them special prominence. We
have never asked which ticket in Connecticut
was preferred by the President, knowing well
which is the more faithful to the principle of
Impartial Freedom, and resting satisfied with
that knowledge. The Presidents preference in
the premises was not with US even secondary
consideration.
Joseph r. Hawley was anti-Slayery before
there was any Republican party. He was one
of those who helped to form that party, and has
been with it and Of it ever since. He did his
best to elect Lincoln and Hamlin; and, when
the slaveholding oligarchy thereupon arogantly
said to their supporters, "Renounce your prin-
ciples, and open the Territories TO Slavery or
we will dissolve the Union" he was one Of
n use who answered. "No, we will not re-
,oun &c our principles, and you shall not dissolve
he Inn on" When the Secessionists took up
rms for .Disunion, he did the same for the
Jnion. and 70, Tght it out on that line till they
we're glad to CRY, Enough And he is not bit
orrv. and does not pretend to be, that the over
brow of Slaveryis on. of the consequences of
he Shareholders RelellIt,n.
The party opposed to Gen-Hawley is substan-
IDLY that which, like its present candidates,
sustained and justified every aggression of the
Slave Power on the rights of Free Labor from
he Annexation of Texas to the Lecompton Con-
titution. 1t is the party which gave to Mr..
3uchanan's Cabinet member who did not resign
With Gen. Cass, but held on to the end, and dis
,ersed our Navy to the ends Of the earth, so that
President Lincoln should have no vessels at hand
Yherewith to resist the seizure and reduction of
he National fortresses at the South. 1t is the
,arty which, in the darkest hours OF our great
struggle nominated and furiously supported for
Governor Thomas II. Seymour-a man who,
wen hafnrn Bull Run, and when there could 10 no
pretext that the War for the Union was War
for Abolition, denounced that War in the most
terms. OF all the votes that will be
cast for English next Monday, at least niue.
tenth will be those of men who, while Hawley
was fighting to maintain the Union, were daily
and hoping and trusting, that the
could never be put down, and would
have TO be bought off or Succumbed to. Nineteen
twentieths Of those who will now vote for En-
ylish, if they had been called, two years ago, to
decide whether Andrew johnson should be made
President or hung would have voted that be be
hung, even though some Of them profess to be
.ostilc to Capital Punishment If Mr.. johnson
prefers the triumph Of these to that of the party
" whose votes he was made Vice. President, we
regret it,; but quite as much for his sake as for
that Of the party which elected him.
