THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT.

The Washington correspondent of the n ew
York Tribune evidently thinks there is War
brewing between President johnson and the
radicals in congress. In his letter of Janu-
airy 9Th he says:
"The situation is, therefore, essentially the
same as it was before the recess. The question
is whether it will long remain The presi-
dent, in his conversation with members, is still
profuse in assurances that he is far from desiring
Il conflict between the executive and congress
but he does net seem willing to say what he would
do to avoid it. If 1t Is true, is generally be-
lIsved and asserted by many, that the president
intends to his official patronage for the pur-
pose OF forcing the immediate admission OF south
ern delegations, he may produce the desired CT
feet upon few individuals, but he will thereby
rather precipitate than prevent an open rupture
The employment of such means would only tend
to exasperate men who always willing to come
TO a fair and friendly understanding, but who will
never yield to anything that looks like force or
corruption.'
The New York Ne,os says:
cit is understood that about the 18th inst the
members of congress from the southern states,
both senators and representatives, Will present
themselves in body, with their credentials, and
ask to be admitted their seats; and that at the
same time, or just before, the presidents procIa-
nation will appear, declaring the restoration O
the Union complete, and those states entitled to
their full representation in congress-
<FIf the radical ma lority shall refuse to admit
them, then, it is said, the president will at once
make Use of those measures of which the consti-
tuition gives him the control, to make the power
of the executive felt. Up to this time he has en-
deavored to conduct his administration without
coming to an open breach with the republican
party. But ne thinks he has waited long enough
now, and if the radicals determined to make
the issue he will not shrink from It. he knows
that he will be supported by the people at large,
and IN congress by the democrats and moderate
republicans.''
The National lnte1ltgencer says:
''The president neither advances nor recedes
IN his policy. He stands the constitution and
by the laws, and upon the solid support afford ed
MIN by the masses OF the American people. HIS
message Is almost universally endorsed with
warmth by all the leading journals in both sec
tions of the country, and persistent opposition
to his policy in congress will soon become as obi
