A MIsTAKE.-The New York Times
says: We think the Senate will in
course of time find out that il is now
doing very foolish thing in rejecting
so many Of the appointments by the
President to civil office of men who
have rendered gallant service to their
country in the late war, merely because
they are supposed to be friendly to the
Presidents policy Of reconstruction
The rejection Of General Swift for the
Boston naval Office, the rejection Of
Gen. Couch for colecto. of the port of
Boston, the rejection of Generals Egan,
and Curtis, and many dher soldiers
whom the President had appointed to
positions in public service, looks as il
the Senate's confirmation was entirely
dependent on tho fact of the appointed
being an opponent Of the administration
and an adhcrent OF Thad Stevens.

There is much speculation in regard
to the vote Of Senator Johnsoa io favor
OF the Military Reconstruction Bill Of
the Radicals. 1t is true that he ex-
plains his vote by stating that, whilst he
was opposed to every particular in il, he
is convinced that ii is the best terms
the South eau hope for from the Radi-
Gals, aud he thinks the best interest of
the South demands settlement Of the
controversy, and that thus only can it
be restored to favorable standing in
the Union. Senator johnson has shown
himself good friend Of the South, and
his counsel has been heretofore Of the
wisest and best kind. In this case,
however, We must believe that he has
made a mistake in lending II the influ.
ence Of his name. The hope Of the
country depends on the change Of pub
lie sentiment in the North against the
Radical party, aud its measures but
We fear that his support of this bill will
induce the people of the North to be-
lie,n that the Radical demands on the
South are not so unconstitutional or
Objectionable as generally believed, and
consequently continue their support OF
that party.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1867-02-28
The InevitabIe Issue.

The military occupation bill Of the
Radical Congress is clearly designed to
force upon the South the political equal
ity OF the White and Black races or
perhaps we should say the political su.
periority ofthe black race for whilst
it confers the right of suffrage on all
the colored men, it denies to multitudes
Of the whites the right to vote or to
hold office. So monstrous is the pro.
position that we cannot doubt the whole
South will refuse it with disdain. and
rather submit to military despotism than
consent to that which they instinctively
abhor. If Congress pass this measure
over the Executive veto it must bring
things TO speedy crisis. Then, if the
North relent so far as to condemn the
plan Of the Radicals, our country may
soon get back to its old position of a
friendly self governing people, Other,
wise, the North will continue to lord it
over the South, to the infinite disgust
Of the Northern minority and the friends
of free government throughout the
world. How long such state of affairs
can last in peace among the proud
and spirited descendants of the white
patriots of &c we leave every one to fig
ure out for himself.
