    N. Y. Tribune on the Situation.
{from the Mew York TUutuij September 2u.J
Nothing hat contributed wore, laud
very many things has contributed uiuch t )
toward alienating popular tavor an<J sup
port from the just and liberal policy of
the President toward the South,than the
action of those who claim to be his friends
iu this respect. It has proved, indeed,
as General Grant styles it, "a misfortune
for the Presideut," and we uny add, lor
j the country also. Iu Peunsylvauia the
I Administration candidate lor Governor
is one who, in his political action, rested
the Government throughout the war.
who made himself utterly obnoxious to
the loyal meu who were struggling to
save the nation; aud his election, by the
defeat of a gallaut soldier who louglit
with heroism and ho.»or tor tbe overthrow
of the rebellion, is held easeutlal to ilia
vindicatius of the Presideut s policy.
The same thing is truo, perhaps, in a
less couspiouous degree, iu nouiiuatii ns
for members ot Congress and tor State
i fficcrs of Tarious grades throughout the
country. »
'i lie reason of it is clear It lias been
done beoause the Democratic puity has
I u«hed itself into tbe foreground ol the
prig dent's supporters, aun has seised the
occasion to r< construct *llO strengthen us
own organization, rather thin sustaiu the
Presideut upou the pmio.poi which he
asseits aud iu the mode which he himselt
pointed out. Piesideut John-uu never
hesitated to declare his to stand
upon the principles ot the Union party,
to act withiu its liues, to Co operate w.th
those of its members who adhered to its
platform, aud to use the patronage at Ins
disposal to national. «e ami strengthen its
organization. lie never concealed his
conviction that the Democratic party, as
an argamsation,-destroyed itself try its
disloyal attitude during the war; that it
had justly forfeited the confidence ol the
people, aud the party whicu carried the
nation through the war was the parly up
on which lie relied for co opcratiou and
support in restoring the ITuion and secu
ring the blessings of the peace. The
great body of the Democratic party seemed
couscious that it had been betrayed by its
leaders into a false position, and they were
quite ready to accept the result, aud act
in good faith with the Union party in the
restoration of the'Whion, under the gui
dance of Pi evident Johnson.
Naturally enough, uuder the circum
stances, the leaueis of the Democratic
party took advantage of tbisstatcof things
and made a bold pu-h to regat.n their
powar. Sheltering themselves from the
odium incurred during the war. uuder
the President's policy of restoration, they
put their own tneu tti nomination for of
fice, act in motion their old machinery,
and demanded the support of conservative
Union meu for the seiustateinent ol the
Democratic party in power And when
Uuion men who never voted a Democratic
ticket in their lives, who always lurid ami
advocated the principles I the I! pti I -
can parly, and who resisted with -• 11 ' h* 11
might the attempts of the Km <•> i
party to thwart the govevuinen 111 its el
forts to quell the rebellion, fail to ivspi ml
to these demands, they aie very coolly
accused of treachery to the Democratic
party, ahd to the President, for whom
not a single member of that party nave t
vote, hi all the States where Governors
arc to be chosen they have put prominent
Democratic politicians —men identified
thoroughly with the party organization
throughout thewwainr —in nomination as
candidates; aud in uearly all the Con
gressional districts, instead of accepting
conservative liuion men, they have until
iuated candidates of their own—often
from the copperhead wing of the party,
and always from men identified with its
action in the public mind.
We have uo hesitation whatever in
saying that this policy is fatal to the
cause it professes to serve, and w II end
iu its own deleat. 'I he people ot the
Northern States will not ha d over the
Government to the control of the Deno—
cratic jarty, uudei its old organisation,
and its old leaders. J Jot li rendeieit
themselves thoroughly and justly übn<>x
IOUS to the loyal patriotic sentiment of
the nation, by their hostility to the policy
ol the Government during the w-.ir '1 he
people will not, now that the warts over,
confiide the control of pu' lie affairs to
.their hands, and every .effort they make
to secure chis result will end in defeat,
and postpone tho veryfcjbject they seik
10 accomplish.
General Grant was perfectly right in
snyiug that men in the North who have
been disloyal "ought not to be suppoited
by President Johnson's friends;'' and the
same is Hue of political organisations that
held au attitude of disloyalty duriug the
war.
AN "AKMTN AHM" ITKM —Govcr-
Fairchild of Wisconsin was one of the
bravest heroes of the war against the re
bellion. A gentleman who was intro
duced to him the other day observed, as
ho took his left hand, that he had lost
his right arm. *Y »." said the Cover
nor in reply, "I attended a convention at
Gettysburg in 1863, and met a Southern
delegate who was very anxious to walk
arm-in arm with me; and when we sepa
rated I found that the embiace had been
rather costly. The remark was quietly
made, but suggested a world of valuable
reflections.
—A gentleman justfiomthe fled River
couutry in Texas, say. that murders of
frcedmen are of daily occurrence, an -
that no efforts arc made, even by the
authorities, to arrest -the murderers.—
The conditiou of society in that section,
he says, is terrible, and he represents it
as growing worse ins'ead of better.
A Lady who had been just thico
days married, perceiving her hue baud
enter, stole secretly behind hi 111 and gave
him a kiss; the husband was angry, and
said she offended agaiust decency. "Par
don me," bhe exclaimed, "I did not know
it wa« you."

munity where used it has be**
pronounced the safest and most
reliable remedy known for

BOWELS, CHOLERA
MORBUS, dtOi
Jt contains nothing irri
tating or injurious to the
stomach, and is mild but
prompt in its action, and
effects a permanent cure by
removing the cause of the
complaint. No FAMILV
should be without it, as the
cost is trifling compared
with the suffering that may
be avoided bg having It at
hand in case of a sudden
attack.
