White Mans Party at the North

White Mans Party at the North.
Without pretending to understand the
motives Of the New York Herald or to
speculate upon the relation its new demon
stration has to future events, it is never
,heless true that from the evident CORE
spondence of part of its programme "
with the important event which has just
taken place at Washington, its political
speculations derive additional interest, il
not importance. We copy from that paper
Of Monday morning the following sem
fences: .,rza r.l4 a-a#lJ,8E
The Herald assumes that the Radicals
gave up impeachment on the ground that
they could put no one in Mr.. JoHNsoN's
place "morc suitable to their: purposes;
but this, it says, was "one-sided view OF
the possibilities" 1t continues ~aG
"The country is Justly alarmed at what
has already become evident in the realiza-
ton of the Radical party programme. 1t
is clear that this programme means no less
than niggcr supremacy in ten States, and
the consequent division of the country on
worse basis than that which led to the
rebellion. We fought to free the nation
from party domination, guided by slave
holders, and we fall under q party DONNA
ton based on the votes of the slaves we
saade free. We have set them free to
make them our masters. We exchange q
white tyranny for black tyranny. This
was not what the people meant when they
gave lives without limit and money with
ont stint to prosecute the war. Even
ssose who desired to free the slaves would
NOT have mado them masters of the, politi-
,:al destinies of any part Of the nation; yet
something very near to this must be the
result Of the policy of those Radical lead
trs of whom Mr.. Stanton is the type.
awe degrade and adulterate the
nssional life by iutrod ucing into It half 9
,nliiion servile, semi voters-all
that the supremacy Of an arrogant and
dangerous faction may DO secured and
uaade permanent. And this, indeed-this
making Of niger voters and driving the
white men of the South from the polls--is
the whole result of the war as Radical
leaders see 1t. 4.tg-s gtryEgf esztg
"But the people are awakening to, the
tsue perception of this great matter, and
it needs NO extreme provision to know that
the nation viii eventually trample under
isu feet every vestige of the party that
holds such ideas and has led it into this
tMse position. The plain question for Mr..
Jshnson Is whether he has the courage to
take tho current Of this national tendency
AND mako bold fight with Congress and
th, Radicals, now that they are in7the
wrong-to fight when he may have the
psople ON bis side, with the same spirit
with which he asssiled Congress when its

him. Lie must make clean sweep of ell

Tho Herald goes on to urge removal Of
all she generals in command at the South.
What oil this means, we cannot say, Is
