honest convictions. He admits that thl
Radical party and himself differ widely, ant
as parties are now organized he is with tn
Democratic party. He differs from then
only on one point-that of universal mar
hood suffrage, He agrees with them on al
other great issues, and If elected by tina
party would certainly carry out thei
policy.
He thinks the deplorable condition of th
Southern States demands proper Congress
ional consideration, and also material al
from the general government. Think
there is no constitutional authority toi
holding the Southern States in subsection
that it is alike unWise and unjust, and ia
vors enfranchisement and removal OF pt
litical disabilities from every white man i
the South. He thinks freedom and mar
hood suffrage are the nnquestioned right Q
all. but controverts the idea that any othe
power than that of the States can COME
the right, the general government havinl
no control over the matter.
He opposes the political disabilities IN
posed by the fourteenth article, proposln
General amnesty as a relief; regards genert
amnesty as absolutely necessary ; urge
liberal aid TO Southern railroads and nav
, gable rivers; thinks the government shoul
build levees from Cairo to the Gulf; urge
early return to specie payments, and col
demns in strong terms the trial of citizei
by military commissions during peace.
he hopes that if President johnson REQ
