Paralyzing tine Radical?.
We extract thc following para?
graphs from an article in the New
York News, advising the President as
to the best -way to paralyze the radi?
cals. Since the article was written,
the President has began the good
work, which we trust will be speedily
completed, as far as he can complete,
by. tbe. praclaiuation of a general am?
nesty. Such a proclamation would
be the crowning act of his course :
The Southern people, in the con?
flict pending between the Executive
and what there is of National Legis?
lature, are tho natural allies of the
former. Their sympathies are with
the President, their convictions en?
dorse his policy, and their interests
demand its triumph. The radicals,
on the contrary, represent all that
remains in popular sentiment of hos?
tility toward the South. The dema?
gogues in Congress, who are using
all their partisan resources to cultivate
discord and contention between the
sections, are aware that there is no
possibility of their ever obtaining any
political influence in the South, ex?
cept by arming the black population
with political weapons, and making
them the servants of their party will.
There is more boldness than sagacity
exhibited in the conception of the
radical programme. "Their schemes
are glass, the very sun shines through
them." But they are not the less
j dangerous. They are habituated to
j the exercise of power and so familiar
i with usurpation that they push right
i. onward to their goal without regard
to constitutional obligations, legal
obstacles or public interests. Mr.
Johnson understands them well. He
knows them to be unscrupulous,
treacherous, selfish and merciless to?
ward those who staud in the way of
their aspiration. He knows that they
will briug to bear every engine of
partisan warfare they can control,
and that he, as the most conspicuous
and powerful object of their enmity,
can expect at their hands not even a
fair and manly antagonism. He must
crush them or be crushed.
Knowing this, and conscious of vi?
tal importance to the republic of the
successful operation of his plan
of restoration, Mr. Johnson is
neither just to himself or to his coun?
try in withholding from his cause
any of thc elements of its strength.
The Southern people are his allies.
They are eager to strike a blow
in his behalf. He has said that
they have his confidence ; and even
if ho doubted the sincerity of their
professions of faith to his admin?
istration, he knows he can trust
their instincts of self-preservation;
for his causo is theirs, anil the re?
demption of their land from poverty
and political nonentity depends upon
the issue of this struggle. Why,
then, at this crisis of the conflict,
i does he leave those allies unarmed,
defenceless, worse than useless in
their political emancipation ? He has
the power to bring them into the field
? weaponed with all the rights and
privileges of American citizenship.
He has the power to strike from the
Congressional vocabulary, as applied
to tho South, that terni "disloyalty,"
that the radicals uso incessantly in
in default of any other pretext for
persecution. It is within the scope
of his authority to discharge the
Southern people, one land all, from
ali liability to the penalties of treason
for their participation in the move?
ment of secession. He can relieve
them from the bim of outlawry, and
recreate them the political equals of
the radicals who make their preten?
sions to "loyalty" a cover to disunion
intrigues. A few strokes of the Execu?
tive pen can transform the Southern
people luto efficient champions of
:MMlh_Lhi__L> ? policy. It can make
?i as
ii of
y is
lent
his
ori
)ga
ion.
:>a?s
cy.
The attributes of mercy are not under
the dictatorship of faction, and her
gentle voice, cancelling the offences l
of the unhappy past,~cannot be si?
lenced by the fiery wrath of Stevens,
or thc inflated rhetoric of Sumner.
We earnestly appeal to President
Johnson to adopt this safe and de?
cisive course. It will strike at the
very heart of radicalism. Tire coun?
try suffers so much from these end?
less intrigues and conspiracies of
demagogues, who have in reality no
power except that which they usurp,
that it has become a matter of para?
mount duty on the part of the Chief
Magistrate to strain his authority to
the utmost, within constitutional
limits, for the purpose of paralyzing
this insolent and incendiary faction.
Mr. Johnson is well enough acquaint?
ed with the American character to be
aware that the law, with the sanction
of the people, can never claim a vic?
tim more than the hecatombs that
have already been immolated in ex?
piation of the offience of secession.
The voices of the masses, could they
be heart? to-dny, would insist upon
judicial oblivion.
Thc World Moves.
The day, a year ago, that saw tli8
power of the Confederacy crumble in
tirtVuin thai, befell ita capital, seemed,
also, in that loss, to inaugurate the
decline of one of the main princi?
ples of the republic. Apparently, in
that day, the champion that had done
battle for the rights of the States lay
conquered beneath the heel of Apoi
lyon. Centralization, in that mo?
ment, flushed with the victory that
had been accorded it, raised the poon
above its prostrate antagonist; and to
the appeasing of its long-cherished
hatred of the South, it united that
other pleasure that should spring
from the triumph of its old conspira?
res against the spirit of republican?
ism.
How these conspiracies were
sprung, first in the Senate and more
recently in the House; how the radi?
cal directory in those bodies, led by
Stevens and Sumner, respectively the
Danton and the Robespierre of the
movement, prated exultingly of their
purposes to the detriment of the re?
public; how the former could find no
other name for the President than
1 'the man at the other end of the ave?
nue;" how the latter openly accused
the President of sending in a "white?
washing message" to the Senate; and
how, finally, when their purposes
were made apparent, Mr. Johnson
cut them short in their anti-constitu?
tional career by his two vetoes of
their revolutionary measures against
the rights of States; all "these events
will live in history as a part of the
record of the times that saw arise,
even among the opponents of the
creed that all men looked upon as
dead, the stoutest champion of that
principle; one who, unhampered by
suspicion of " treason," and with the
power and the majesty of the repub?
lic at his back, has palsied the arm of
revolution in its downward sweep,
and has given a new meaning to the
inspired declaration of the old Gali?
leo; that in spite of prejudice, in
spite of ignorance, in spite of malice,
in spite of every weapon brought by
the wicked to militate against the
good, tho world still moves, and,
with that movement, brings to the
sight of men retribution, and the
vindication of the faith.
] New York News.
The through train experiment from
Louisville and Nashville seems to
have proved a success, if we are to
judge by the prompt manner in which
the trains come through, and are re?
turned to be freighted again for this
locality. The Western and Atlantic
Railroad has become all at once a com?
mon thoroughfare for no less than
three railroad companies. We saw,
on Friday last, a train from the Cen?
tral road en route to Chattanooga, to
procure from the extensive rolling
mill at that point a load of iron rails
to be laid between Macon and Savan?
nah. We also saw a lengthy and
heavily-freighted " through train "
from Louisville following imme?
diately in the wako of the regular day
express passenger of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad. The third train
was an empty one, returning to Nash?
ville, having deposited its freight in
Atlanta.-Atlanta Intelligencer, 1st.
RATIIEH SEVERE.-The New York
Times, in commenting'on the disgrace?
ful course of the Tribune, deals some
hard, though just bits, which strikes
all around:
Tn Massachusetts as in Illinois, in
Ct. T nnis as in Washington, sheets
have set themselves dp as models of
purity, patriotism and principle, aro
endeavoring to serve the radical dis
unionists and to thwart the efforts r
the President by coining and circula
ing slanders so base that they di
grace even the papers which prii
them, and falsehoods so flagrant, th
in the end they must surely retuve *
lagne the inventors.
