THE 4>KEMIEM"S SPEECH.
On the first page of this issue will be j
found the speech of President John
son, delivered on the twenty second of
February, to a meeting of his friends
assembled at the White House. There
are some points in this speech which
are calculated to do great good in the j
work of re-toring peace and unity to
our distracted country. The President
declares that it is time to take the Con
stitution from among the musty tome
of forgotten lore in the Executive De
partment. where it was hid away by
the late administration, and that that
sacred instrument must be unrolled,
once more to become thechart by which
we are to be guided in navigating the
stormy ocean of national politics. Nei
ther the Higher Law, nor the Necessi
ty or No Law, doctrine is to prevail a
nv longer in the administration of the
government. The "little bell" in the
State Department is to be deprived of
its clapper; the scaffolding on which
Military Commissions have had their
little rehearsals'of tragedies tounded on
incidents in the French Revolution,
is to be taken down; the judge on the
civil bench is to ho allowed to furbish
his spectacles so that he can once more
read Magna C'.'uirta and perceive in the
fundamental law the right of the Ha
beets Corpus; in short, we are to have
a streak of that gala sunshine of liber
erty which streamed in giorv from the
doctrines and deeds of the Republican
fathers. Besides, the President conies
back to the position occupied by the
true friends of the Union ever since the
agitation of the negro question became
an element in politics. Our reader
will remember how faithfully we al
ways clung to the doctrine that the
Abolitioni-ts and Seeee-ioiiist- were
qually in the wrong, how earnestly we
insisted that they were bothalike the
enemies of the Union. This was al
wavs the position of the Democratic
party. The President returns to thi
point, when h* deelures that there were
two factions which were willing to
break up the government, the one for
the purpose of maintaining flu-institu
tion of slavery, the other for the pur
pose of destroying it. The former, he
tells us, has been overthrown by force
of arms; the latter, "at the other end
of the line." isnow engaged in making
war upon the Government, because ir
fanatical purposes have not been fully
accomplished. In order that the pub
lic may not misunderstand the allusion
of the President to the persons "at the
other end of the line," he designates
some of the principal ones, telling us
that Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sum
ner and Wendell Phillips are the men
who now lead the ranks of the Disun
ionists. Thus we have the Executive
of the Republic, pointing the finger of
warning to the leadership of Stevens,
Sumner and Phillips. They are tin
men who for year- have given tone to
the sentiments of their party. To-day
three fourths of the "Republican" Sen
ators and Representatives in Congres.-
follow their lead and do their bidding.
No man, therefore, who would be a
true Union man and an honest suppor
ter of Andrew Johnson, can remain in
the "Republican" organization. The
question must now he answered, Will
you endorse the men whom the Presi
dent of the United States has denoun
eed as Disunionists, or will you sepa
rate from them and unite with the
friends of Union and Peace?
W E received the report of the pro
ceedings of the Democratic. State Con
vention, too late for publication in this
issue. We will give them in full in our
next. Suffice it to say, that the Con
vention was entirely harmonious, and
adjourned amid the most enthusiastic
A STITCH IX TIME.
Democrat? and friends of Andrew-
Johnson! The Federal Executive has
done a noble act in throttlinga monster
that threatened to swallow up your lib
erties, as well as the public treasure.—
The veto of the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill is the grandest stroke of the Fxe
cutivoarm of the Government, in favor
of the people, that has been delivered
since the day on which the immortal
Jacksonoverturned the National Bank.
Should we not, therefore, strain every
nerve to send tidings of popular sup
port and encouragement to our Chief
Magistrate in the position which he
has assumed ? The true way to do this,
is to turn out, en ni w., to the approach
ing Spring election- and vote for men
who endorse the veto. Squelch the
I Mr-unionists rigid notr f and you will
have much loss work to do in the Fall
campaign. "A stitch in time saves
nine."
Tin: KOTXTA LAW.
A stated case involving the question
as to whether the Bounty Law of this

ably go to the Supreme ( ourt. There
seems to in- considerable difference of
opinion among law yers, as to this qm—
tion.
THE Franklin Repo-dlory i.- very se
vere upon the President, styling him
"Our Fallen Ruler." On the.other
hand, the JSonice.fci He.cahl oud 1' hif/
collect.* its ideas in favor of the Pivsi
i dent's policy, and although its tditor,
the other day, refused to serve as an
1 officer of a meeting called to sustain the
President, it is always coco,' beforo
"the powers that be."
A NEW party, it is said, is ul>oi!t to
ho formed by a union of the "Dead Rab

of Washington city.
Till: TEMPEB Of THE SOI'TSI.
The best reply to the slander- of the
Radicals upon "the Southern people i
contained in resolutions ,-uch us those
we append, which have just passed
througn the Louisiana Legislature:
\\ hereon, In thedebatesu pun theques
tiou of reconstruction in the national
Congress, the enemies of the policy of
President Johnson are endeavoring to
mislead public opinion by the gro—e-t
misrepresentations of the opinions and
sentiments of the people of thi- and
other Southern States; therefore.
He it resolved, by the Senate am! House
of li< preventatives, of the State of Lonisi
ana. in (xeaerttl A ssenib/y eetartaetl, That,
a> representatives recently elected by
the people of this State, and being fully
conversant with their opinions ami sen
timent-, we do declare that they have
with unparalleled unanimity accepted
the results of the war as a final settle
ment of the questions at issue therein:
that theredoe- not exist an intention or
desire to re-open the agitation of tim-e
questions; that they acquiesce in the
abolition of -laveryas an aeeompli-hed
fact, and they are ready to extend to
the late slaves the protection of the laws
in the enjoyment of their rights; that
instead of entertaining any hostility to
the negro race in the Southern State-,
tlu y hold for them the kindly feelings
which grew out of their former relation
to the white race, and recognize it as
their interest as well as duty to do what
ever is proper to advance them in intel
ligence, morality and religion. That
the professions of the people of Louisi
ana, that they are willing to-uh-eribe
to the national authority and constitu
tional government of the I."nitedStaies,
are sincere and unqualified, and that
any accusations made in contradiction
of "the above statement, from whatever
source or on whatever authority, we
pronounce to l>e without foundation in
fact, and are infamous attacks upon the
I honor, courage, and good faith of the
people of Louisiana.
/>■ it farther resotv <t, That the state
! meiitsniadeip the foregoing resolutions
are made in no spirit of slavish suppli
! cation, nor of shameful contrition for
the past, nor of hypocritical devotion
1 to our late enemies, but to vindicate
the manhood and honor of our people
j from the slanders pronounced against
| them by their Radical enemies at home
| and abroad, and for the purpose ofeon
: vincing every truthful and magnani
mous mind that to continue to deprive
Louisiana of her constitutional right of
representation in Congrt— cannot he
! justified by any consideration of nation
al security or of protection to the late
slaves in' their rights a- freemen, but
' must rest solely upon the spirit of re
venge and lust of their power on the
part of their political chArlatans and
deluded fanatics who have not shared
i the dangers of the battlefield, nor ae
| quired the wisdom of the statesman,
| unlearned to appreciate the virtues and
magnanimity of either the Northern or
1 Southern soldiers.
This is in keeping with the utteran
; e<s of all the public men and legislative
! bodies in the Southern States.
Ix ms speech in the Senate, on last
Friday, on the joint n-solution provid
ing against the admission of the South
ern representatives, Mr. (larrett Davis
made the following point: "The Pres
ident is required hythe Constitution to
send messages to Congress, and he has
the power to decide what body is Con
gress. The members here, who are in
favor of admitting the Southern Sena
tors, could meet with them, and con
stituting a majority, the President, if
he see proper, could recognize them as
the Senate, and hold official relations
with them, and he (Mr. Davis; advised
him to do it." A little further on he
added: "Whenever Andrew Johnson
chooses to say to the Senators of the
South, in the exercise of his noble Con
stitutional right, you get together and
form a Senate with the Democrats and
Conservatives,and I will recognize you,
what will become of this body?"
—A negro in St. Louis has brought

IMI'EAt HM EXT AX I) A XXOY A XCE OF
THE l'ltEsiDEXT.— Wcunderstand that
a meeting of Senator- and Representa
tives was ree-nfly held secretin at one
of the principal hotel-in t!iis city, to
take measures to impeach the Presi
dent. In this connection the subject of
the retiracy of the Secretary of War
was discussed in an animated and an
gry manner. It was, we have reason;
to believe, boldly and defiantly assert
ed that the President dare not remove
this gentleman, however he differed
with him in hi> policy and views. The
temper of the meeting was highly ex-]
cited and exasperated at the thought, i
It was impudently insisted upon that
the Secretary of War mnsl remain, to j
embarrass the President, and of course
annoy the patriotic statesman fortu
nately at the helm of national affairs.
We warn these incendiaries against
pursuing further their wickedness and
machinations towards the purpose in
dicated. — ('on*!itution-fit Union.
IT is a very remarkable fact ob-erves
the Hartford Time* that since the days
of the second Adams, the opponents of
the Democracy have elected but three
/'resident*; that each of these Presi
dent-, have died in office; and that each
of the Vice Presidents who took their
places have been compelled to differ
from the /lulicy of the President whom
he suceeened.
That the hand of Providence is mani

our country, ynn for a moment doubt.

some time ago, so noisily affirmed tiie
