The New York FFeemdn's Journal
and Catholic Register-which was open
ly, ardently in sympathy with the reb-
els throughout our civil warts dis
gusted with Mr.. Johnson's cowardIce
in dealing with the radicals. 1t insists
that the rebels and their friends could
take the Government this fall, if John
son would give the right lead. Here is
lis programme:
"Now, the States of the North are
pretty evenly divided. A fe ~ thousand
votes changed would turn the political
scale in favor of the Democrats. There
is good hope this will be done i'll Penn
sylvania and Ohio in October. In Ken
tucky it is, confessedly, all one way,
and that Democratic. II II small modi-
cum of good sense is shown in New
York, and ThurlOw Weeds and his
man Stewards affiliatiou is spurned,
New York, next November, is safe for
the Democratic party.
with the North so evenly balanced,
the South-if relieved from the military
despotism weighing on it, and freely
speaking, according to lis constitutional
rights-could bring us all the aid we
need!
Except one thing! We despair of
any act of courage on the part of Pres
ident Andrew johnson! He has blum
dered from the beginning. He was no
statesman, or he would never have re-
quired the Southern States to dISOIDHI
themselves as he did. He set Congress
the example of disowning States. with
regularly elected governments.
even, yet, at whatever hour the
President would have the talent and
the courage to summon the country, he
could have it! The country, as a whole,
