« C. H. C. WILLINGHAM, EDITOR. LAGBANGE: f*lMIBOa*W«v" OCTOBER IS, IMS. T%* $mccm at President Jabnton’i PoBef ft* Sicrihtv of the Sidittli* goutb, viz: President Johnson is oar friend, and the Radical Party, opposing him and hisadmims tration, are our worst enemiea And here another Act presents itself which should arrest the atten tion of eTery Southern man, viz: The Southern people, In conjunction with the censervatiren of the North, most sustain and up! o'd the policy of Presi dent Johnson. lie Las the nerve to resist the torrent of opposition to bis mild i olicy of restora tion ; and the power of carrying his purpose into affect lies mainly with tbs people of the South.— His success, therefore, depends upon the temper of oor people in complying with the requirements he has demanded of them. Two States have met in Convention, and carried out hii po'icy—Mississippi and Alabama—and.the Prescient ha? signified his approbation of the action of the two Conventions. Other States will, doubtless, follow in the same line of duty. When the civil governments of the variosfl States have been re-organized in faithful accordance with his policy, the people of the South will have shown that the confidence reposed in them by the General Government has not been misplaced. Such harmony between the Govern ment at Washington and the Southern people, will result in the complete 6ucceB8 of the President’s policy, and array the couseivativp men of the whole country in support of bis administration, and the oomph te overthrow of the Radical Party will follow—for that unscrupulous political organi zation is already tottering from its very founda tions. Charles Sumner, the great oracle of the Radi-* cals of Now England, iD a recent speech, at a Re pnblican Convention in Massachusetts, sail that “ For thirty years and more this rebellion has bten maturing. Who can say,” says he, “ that the same time will not be needed to mature the condi tions of peace ?” and adds, “ Who can say that a generation must not elapse before these rebel com munities have been so far changed as to become ■afe associates in a common government? 1 ' Charles Sumner ia the representative man of the Radicals, whose policy is to keep the South in a State of tutelage for the next geney^ion. If they can carry out their policy by any political strategy, whatever, we may expect much trouble from that fiendish combinations of devils. But luckily for us. the President has trusted to the honor of the S"uthern people ; and, true to their trust, they are uhowing that his coutnUmce is not misplaced. This faift^ul discharge of our trust ip strengthening the power of the administration in our behalf, and weakening the strength of the Radicals in their oppositions to the President.— Our acceptance of the results of the war, as £ set tlement of the questions at issue, and our ready and faithful compliance with tho mild policy of the Preaideut in restoring us to our former rights lu the Union, give assurance to the conservative and good people of the North that the policy of President Johnson is a wine one, and the sequence will M that the conservative masses will sustain bim unanimously,^whether they belong to the De mocruticor Republican party. Thus it is that the success of the President's policy of restoration-will be the overthrow of the Radicals, and the Soutb- -ern Stntes will soon be rtstored to their former '/toi’h'wiiY Tie'seen’how important it is for every Southern man to rally to the support of the Prea ident. But we are glad to chronicc the faot that the course of Andrew Johnson meets with the hearty approval o! the South, lie has shown a maohood and a tenacity of purpose which has sel dom, If ever, been exhibited by any men is his position since the earlier days of the Republic.— He is dealing the d-ath blow to the Radicals ot the North. They are Coundering like fish in shal low water. All their predictions as to the temper and loyalty of the Southern people are being daily met with refutation. Andrew Johnson and the Southern people are now drawing the life-blood from the Radical organization. Andrew Johnson reposes confidence in the hone«yr and integrity of the Southern people ; the Radicals want “ thirty years” in which to “ mature the conditions of peace,’ 1 and ere not willing to trust us; we ol the South are giving Mr. Johnson the support of a strict loyalty by a ready compliance with all that is required of us in the process of restoration ; the Radical organization is growing weak in popular opinion, and the friends of the administration are bouyant, and thousands are flocking to the stan dard of Andrew Johnson as the man for the times and thaman in the right place. Negro Suffrage in Connecticut—At an elec tion held in Connecticut, a few days since, the peo pie were called upon to vote upon uu amendment of the State Constitution extending the right of suffrage to negroes, which was negatived by about 6,000 majority !—(every county in the State but ©*e voting against it.) This will be a stunning blow to the cause of the radicals, who are insist ing upon negro suffrage as terms precedent to the re-admission of the Southern States into the Unioi t They cannot, it seems, have the brazen effrontery, to force Upon the Southern States what their own people have so signally refused to accept. This Connecticut election strengthens the arms of Pres ident* Johnson in the pursuance of hie policy of Southern restoration, and is evidenpe that the pop* alar feeling North is going with' him. R. C. Humber, Esq.—The many friends of this gentleman, in this community, will be glad to laarn that ha has been elected to the State Con vention from Putnam county. It will be remem bered that be once represented this county in the Legislature. Now that war is no more in the oouatry, we hope to aee “ Bob 1 ’ make his mark in tk* oonnaela of the State.

In ite issue of the 4tb, we find the following: *« We have received a communication from Mun- fordville, written, we presume, by a clerical gen tleman, in reference to oor article npon * Political Preachers,’ in which he wishes to know ‘ bow the clergy and the churches of this country are to un derstand the article in question.’ He asks, ‘ Do you advise us to give up entirely the political issues of the whole country r As preacuera, yes, every bit of it.

If they .do. they disgrace both it And themselves. *• Let our correspondent and his brethren stick to their texts, we repeat, and let politics alone.— They have enough to do in their own line.” The Journal expresses our sentiments on this point exactly. Thet-e clerical agitators ba»e done toeir share in bringing about the late troubles upon the country. If they had confined themselves to their texts as strictly as they ought to have done, both North and South, and especially at the North, their skirts vould have been clear of the blood of thousands of good and innocent men who have been offered up as sacrifices to the Moloch ol war. That preachers have political rights, ia com' mon with ih-ir fellow citizens, is not to be disput ed or even doubted ; but when they enter the sa cred pulpit to veutiilate their political notjoji|^«^| stead of preaching the gospel, the messengers of which they claim to be, they step from the path The Election in Heard,—The annexed state ment is the result of the election for Delegates to the State Convention, aDd which failed to reach us time for our last issue: W.

Feeling Towards Hon A. H. -Stephen's at the Nonth.—A writer in the Traveler proposes that a petition be seqt from Boston for the pardon of Mr. Stephens. The Boston Courier heartily seconds the motion.. We would like to see Mr. Smephens released.— We need the talents of such men in repairing and perfecting our State organization. We trust a eimiliar movement will be made in Georgia. The North Carolina Convention.—The Con vention met in Raleigh, on the 2d instant, and or~ gauized by the election of Edwin G. ReaX(K as Pres, ident. Mr. R. was at one time a representative in Congress from that State, and is said to have taken no active part in the late war.

It is the business of preach ers to preach repentance, and to hold up the beautiful in the Christian character for emulation- Their mission is one of -‘peace and good will to ward man”—not to engender the bitter prejudices of men toward each other. In the South we had our “ political preachers."’ Their fulminations rang from the pulpit with cease less constancy; and when the carnival of blood b'gan. some of them repaired to “ the tented field 1 ’ j to admiuister consolation to the penitent, and to induce th- ainful to roprnt, as long as there was no j danger.
