Political Crisis and Coming Trouble
By Editor
We publish this week some very significant testimony concerning the South, and the course of the President. All things seem to be rapidly shaping for further trouble. The Northern States are doubtless sufficiently aroused by recent events and developments, to go against the administration by overwhelming majorities in the coming fall elections, as Maine has already gone by 20,000 majority. But will not this rather hasten than avert the crisis? Is Andrew Johnson, in his lust of power, going to sit calmly by and see himself voted out of office at the next presidential election? Will he not rather try his hand at usurpation and revolution? Time soon will show. No act can be so bold and daring as to be unlooked for. The warlike, perplexed, and troublous times of the last days are here. Let us not look for peace, and build our hopes in a world such as this, but be ready for the decisive hour when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ.
