,.cornructisu policy Of Congress, won the
hesr,e Of our loyal psopleY Why Withhold
the n,siee due Tor that radical and lacosic
letter 10 Johnson, which WAS conceived BY
/ the hsars Inst stood By that Christian patriot,
/ General Howard, in his work? And 10 be .

| His acts are trumpet -toungued for loyalty and
iuatiee. and I cannot doubt that he drinks
from such fountains Of political inspiration
that be will Be pronounced eariy enough for

standard bearer.
II there we're doubts Is TO his position,
/ Why do not the Democrats, miserable in theii

him7 Or why not repeat . sympathetic sem

/ Rive no opinion as 70 bis being our can
didate; but it will not be forgotten that thu
war OF the Revolution gave US Washington
that Of 1912 Jackson, and the Mexican va
General Taylor to one party and Pierce t,
another; and 10 the midst Of our struggle
during the years Of bloody rebellion, 1t "a
the nations thought that he who would CIV
4 % victories should be crowned in peace viii
the civil wreath, provided he should homo
loyalty and mike treason odious. We shal
not ash for success with any yielding Of pfin
c,ples; for thousand times better that y
suffer defeat than abandon the policy Q
Congress, which gives ballot to the loyal i
the States lately in rebellion.
i May the country meyer again be take

pro,estations Of q johnson. Zine mature
roses, and have no doubt the quiet Gener,
J will early enough break the golden silence
to convince the people Of what have no
no doubt.
