political wisdom and bold ltbkbal1ty
[From the London Time , Sept. 87.]
We thiuk Mr. Johnson, in his liberal treat
meut of tía South, shows political wisdom
and a true appreciation of the differences
which have divided the two sections of the re-
public. The principles which he enounced in
his speech to the Southern delegation at
Washington the other di^y, are consistent both
with his former acts and present policy. They
are simply that the Union must be maintained
at all hazards, by any means and against an;
men or party; but that the Union once
secured, the rights and political independence
of the States are the best guarantees of
national prosperity. Slavery is gone and the
rebellion is over. This being the case, the
restoration of all the States to their former
relations with each .other and with the Fed-
eral Government is desirable. This theory
undoubtedly tends to give the South an
earlier and larger possession of political power
than is thought safe even by moderate men
of the Republican party. But we think that

the confidence of the President and the bold
liberality of his policy are not likely to be in

Government can fear is that the Southerners,
in their politioal intercourse with the North,
may become factious and perverse. This, in-
deed, is not unlikely; but it is an inconve-
nience which can well be borne, and which is
sure to decrease with time. All the better in-
stincts of the people will be against carrying
on a war of words or of votes when the war of
weapons has failed, and they will surely find
their interest in submitting cheerfully to the
destiny which has linked them forever to the
Northern States. After all, it is no grievous
doom to form part of the American Union,
even though State patriotism may be vexed by
the insignificant part which Virginia and
South Carolina must play in comparison with
the time when they were leading republics in
the Union. President Johnson probably sees
that both necessity and interest bid the
conquered States to be loyal, and for this
restores to each of them its Institutions, and
to its citizens their liberties and properties.

[Sir Hoi-ton Peto'i wpeech at Bristol (Eng.) Nov. 13.]
(¿ne thing which very mttch gratified me in
my visit to America was mv interview yith the
President. I was with" bin! for some time, and
I will say at once that he is a man, who, once
seen, is never forgotten, for he is one of na-
ture's true nobility—v cheers)—a man who not
only has talent and mind, but who, thank
Goleas a heart. Andrew Johnson was him-
self a Southerner, and was not very well treat-
ed by his countrymen there from hii determi-
nation to uphold the cause of the Union. But
it is well for them that Andrew Johnson knows
how to forget and forgive, Hé has met his
brethren of the South in the only way in which
they could be met to be conciliatory. He does
not make them sacrificó their self-respect
passing them back to his confidence. A man
goes to him and says, "I am sorry for what
nave done, I am perfectly willing to take the
oath." His reply is, "My friend you are par-
doned." L myself, read one of those pardons,
and the only condition is this, if the person so
pardoned ever possesses a slave ar abets
slavery that pardo a «jeases. (Cheers.) He
had no fear of the South, and he would tell
them why. It was that the South were not
handed over to attorneys and middle-men, ae
Jamaica had been, but the owners of the es-
tates were looking after their own workmen,
so that they would be treated fairly, and il
they were not, the President had constituted a
commission in the South, and to that commis-
sion every question was referred. With regard
to some men who complained that certain
masters did not give them sufficient wages,
notification came to the effect that unless the
employed received a right rate of wages the
government would withdraw all the men from
the employ of those masters who refused to
properly compensate them. There was a de-
sire in the North to treat the South in a spirit
of equity. Sir Morton related an anecdote of
a large capitalist who had informed him that
he should not press his debtors in the South-
ern States if they would take their coats off
and go to work. If such a state of things
were the case he had no fear for the South.—
America would not do what England had done
in respect to Jamaica, emancipate the slaves
tuuy OT and let them take their chance. (Cheers. )—

fairness, and they must do their part

President Johnson is pursuing a temperate
course in the reconstruction of the South,

rebuke to the believers in an outworn diplo-
macy, and a splendid encouragement to those
who believe in the capacity of a free people
to select fit rulers, when we see that this self-
taught tailor of Tennessee, by virtue of his
direct sincerity of purpose, and his homely
mother-wit, bids fair to succeed mi a task
which might have sorely trjed the state-craft
of a Richelieu.
; For, let us note, it is not merely moral ex-
cellence that he displays, not merely the self-
control which has enabled him to conquer
passion and to resist temptation, not merely
that kindliness of temperament that generosity
to a fallen foe, which so frequjently character-
izes men of the Anglo-Saxon race. What we
have also to adinire in him is the Saxon
shrewdness, the ready appreciation of existing
