The President is unable to concea
his intense sympathy for treason. The
advertisement Of p~ostoilicc Lettings II
the South has been given to the Pho

self by putting its columns in mourn

We don't suppose the President hat
anything to do in the selection of the
Phoenix newspaper, but say that he did
is it any evidence Of sympathy for trca.
SOM lie ought. TO have selected Q
Radical paper, likothe Press and Times
One that villiiics and misrcprcsents
him, on every occasion! Andrew John.
son has never expressed any sympathy
Tor what the Press and Tines calls trea
son, and not Il single supporter of his
or Conservative editor, believes him to
be d sympathiscr with the coursc of tn,
scccssionists. But they believe he has
tried to uphold the Constitution and
preserve it from innovations the most
damnabIe and mcaileu for. And this
course naturally involves magnanimity
and q little soldier. like kindness to-
wards nfallen foe, and is the only sure
guarantee of an escape for tho United
States from just such troubles in the
fnturc as England is having with Ire
land, and VIC believe it u God send for
republican liberty that Andrew John
son is President.
AS to the mourning Of the Phoenix
newspaper on tic anniversary day Of
Gen. Lees surrender, is it Inconsistent
with principle with an oath to hence
forth support the United States? We
have no use for the man who pro.
jrSScI himself a friend to the cause Of
the C~onfcdcra"y and does mt regret

Federal power during the war,
lllc editor Of this paper taken in
he fgltat West Point, Ca. after a re-
~,istancc Of ten hours Of 800 men to q
ml,lcr Col. LaGrange. The
'cdcrals fought well, fought bravcly,
nd at last succeeded in scaling our
'rcastworks But they suffered as well
3 we did. We exhausted our ammu-
ition, and viii! ON guns ~dismounted,
ur flag ropes dangling in the air, our
rave Gen. Tyler q corpse, We resortcd
} rocks, and the butts of our uncllaru-
1 guns. W. mention this in 10 ego
SIN. IL is a fact known to the Fcder-
S engaged there as well as to- our little
md. But, our point is, that the brave
cdcral soldiers, though naturally ex.
ted at the stubborn resistance made,
ID In Il heat of passion, acted magnan-
if We except the knocking
,wn of one of our men after lie had
rendered. They said to u.s.. |,
"Boys, you fought like the devil,
It we were determined to take you.- I
c can be friends now" And they

soldicts-thc men who did the

had a voice un~iniluonced by political ,
magogucs who stir up strife in the ,

bar to a happy reconstruction. The =

the most suspicious, are those who p
de others go to become food for Il

We think no less of q man for having .,
