impartial render of the message i will tin i in it not much to condemn but many things to approve the general i tone is that of a calm and dispassionate stai paper although slightly tinctured 1 with the constitutional ordor ofthe slump in some passages the most remarkable thing ab ml it however is that after having by facts and arguments thorough-1 i v demolished the sunt hern negro su premacy policy of congress mr john j son has nothing definite to recommend in its place this we apprehend means that the split between president and1 congress offers no diplomatic halfsway j bouse of rest and that therefore nothing in the way of relief need be expected for the south until the people shall have established at washington a new presi dent aud a new congress from the coinmercul adrerliarr ] the message of president johnson is an eminently able stale paper in taste and temper it is faultless in the asse linti of convictions it is fearless in statesmanship it is comprehensive clear nud in most things sound the erroue • us assumptions and actions of congress in reference to ueconsi ruction aro shown up iu an unanswerable argument and though utiaiailingly if not unprofllably the

the impartial render of the message i will tin i in it not much to condemn but many things to approve the general i tone is that of a calm and dispassionate stai paper although slightly tinctured 1 with the constitutional ordor ofthe slump in some passages the most remarkable thing ab ml it however is that after having by facts and arguments thorough-1 i v demolished the sunt hern negro su premacy policy of congress mr john j son has nothing definite to recommend in its place this we apprehend means that the split between president and1 congress offers no diplomatic halfsway j bouse of rest and that therefore nothing in the way of relief need be expected for the south until the people shall have established at washington a new presi dent aud a new congress from the coinmercul
