Advice to the President.

ne New YORK Ijcrald, OF tho. 18th
instant, tells the President what he ought to
do at the present juncturc of party affairs;
The president must now be fully convinced
that the people demand change of policy on
the part of their rulers. 1t needs nothing
else besides the late elections to demonstrate
the fact. 1t therefore becomes necessary for
the Executive to listen to this order and ,bey
it, The first action demanded is a change Of
the Cabinet. Now is the proper time to effect
that change The fossil remains of the would
no longer suited to the times They must
conservative element which is now preparing
itself to take charge of the future destinics of
the country. But in making Cabinet changes,
Mr. johnson must be governed by no party
passions; for it is the exercise of these pas
sions on his part and OH the part of Congress,
which tias 80 deeply awakened the people to
tho necessity of governmental change. Let
the new Cabinet be selected irrespective of
party, and the country will applaud
Cabinet change effected, Mr. johnson
should send message to Congress, ut the
opening of the session, which, free from sec.
tional feeling, should take in the wants of the
country as nation, anu which, in tue great
ISSUES lncldtnt to general progress, will bury
tho minor and petty questions which Radical,
Democrat and Copper, head have thrown in to
stir up the political sea. Let the message in
dlcatc pause in the proconsnlar system of re-
construction, and show a desire to return to
the principles Of the constitutional amend
mcnt, which, last year, drew to its support the
whole common sense of the Union. The al-
vantage which the President will gain by 70.
ing back to this will be immense. 1t will be
acomplete overthrow of the radical programme,
and will restore to the Executive support
which he sadly needs to prove to us that he
is a third part Of the Government.
