POLLY W. HUNTER, Administratrix. .. From W:i*tliiii|(loii. The President's policy?lie will not yield to Congress in any event?Duller'* pro 1 cranium?Congress to arrange for the j earlier meeting of the Fortieth Congress u ?The Elections, etc., etc. Washington, October 10. I It has been rumored that the President in a reply to an invitation to attend a din- '' ner, given in coiupliiiicnt to tlen Wool, has indicated the future policy of his ad *' ministration. His letter will be regarded 1 with interest. What the President his done, so far, we well know, and we km w :i that he has taken a linn position upon his :I own policy of restoration. What ho wid do in the future, in certain contingcucit I ' I is a subject of much speculation. Hereto- ' lore he has expected such a change of, sentiment on the part of tie people, as.'"1 would lead to an adoption by Congress of j ' his policy. Hut, it that expectation is ut v* tcrly groundless, the question arise* win th ' er he will change his practice. If Con giess will not go with him, will lie go with Congress? Probably not. l In a few weeks the President is to be iiu "V peached. At the la t session the Radical 11 leaders took care to pledge the party to a " course hostile to the President's policy, at a caucus on the Saturday night prior to J the opening of the session, so as ?o anttci pate any thing which the President might L'' propose in his message. The same thing al will be done next 1 leeerr.ber. 'J'ho caucus 1,1 will arrange the impeachment, and any member not adhering to the caucus docice al will be put under the ban of the party. ' 1 (jcncral Sutler's speech at t'inciuuati. u was, in laet, intended to present the grea' 1 lladical issue to wit : The impeachment and removal of Andrew Johnson, and the M substitution for him of the President />/ ?, v' (> tn ot the Senate, probably Senator Wade, of Ohio. I pen this issue. Ohio, Peniisyl vaniu and other Slates have already declared their position. They decide to s sanction Butler's programme, which lie * has stated with so much partieulai itv. He - 11 my, in case the President should resist the ? usurpation of Congr? ss. lie proposes him ]" self lor that position, lie also lays down , his own law lor the trial ol impeachments, r.nd prescribes rules for the eomluet of the Senate, as t he high Court ol I iii|>< achin lit The Senate with twenty-six Stall s i -] r seated, will, by a bare majority ol votes? twenty-seven?-order that Pnsidcnt John "j'j son, as soon as the articles of impeachment arc presented, Le arrested and imprisoned 1 at the old Capital or Portress Monroe, an 1 ' " his functions are at end. But Johnson. lc says Butler, may resist that course. In i that case Hutlcr will he oil hand with an j army ol Radicals, collected from the mass j 11 of the people, hy which the rcgu'ar forces I !' of the army ami navy are to he routed ami dispersed. From this, hy the way, Hen i Hutlcr is lo he the next President. The Senate may not proceed with the j '" trial in exact accordance with en. Hutlcr supposes, assume that the party is guilty, before evidence ot the ' tact is uilirmcd. The idea is very prevalent that s? me j', commotion will arise here early in the ap- t preaching session, lor if Congress cannot intimidate the President, they will attempt to remove him. Jt is thought that Congress, at the com- 11 ing session, will provide hy law, tor an earlier meeting than usual ol the fortieth j! Congress. Tliey will do this in anticipa- ^ tion of some trouble that may arise from ^ their own high-handed uicasur -s. It was sufficiently well known at the President's house and at the eluh rooms ' ^ last night, that the Radicals had tl eir own j way in the elections yesterday in Pcnnsyl j vunia, Ohio, Iowa and Indiana. It i? a forerunner of the result ol the November j ] elections. The Radicals are perfectly intoxicated with success. Tile city election hi Haiti- ' more, which occuts today, has not, so far. ' been attended with the violence which was apprehended. LEU.
