iostillty to the President, or dislike to intrust so
much power to Secretary McCulloch. Such a
pretext, if set up, will be a cheat there is not a
ecrap of sense in it. The Secretary's po weri are
awful ho can make rich or poor in an hour
ut only because our clreulatlnjr tnediara has no
ixert, determinate value. A return to specie
Jiayments would at once divest him of nine
rnthi of his pecuniary power. Make gold the
legal standard ot value, and the Secretary of the
Treasury is a shorn Samson thenceforth; but,
let suspension continue, and he can make or mar

A Word for Railroads. . a
from the Tribune.
The railroads of this country are seeing hard
times. A fow are doing well enough, but the
great majority are not. The close of the war
baa cut off a part of their business, and drawn
away a part to navigable waters. People hate
to pay higher fare or freight, yet exact twice as
much for fuel, timber, iron, labor, etc. etc, as
was formerly paid. Then the taxes are very
heavy, and the railroads are saddled with, an
undue share ef them. The assessors who raise
raihoads to $50,000 per mile, and put farms
dewn to a third of their cash value, will stand a
good chance tor re-election. So we calculate
that a good many railroads will pay no dividend
this vear. unless tUev, borrow taea.
We suggest that this is a rood time to out off
free i) asses in the lump. Retrenching; them will
sever amount to anything they should bo ut
terly abolished. When a person travels en the
business ot the road, let him pay his tare and
charge it. Knock the whole "dead-head" system
etiff. and railroads generally would nay one per
cent, more dividend than they now do. Don't
wait for legislation there is no need of it. Let
us hear soon of a General Railroad Convention
and a final abolition of all free passes.
Our Foreign Trade and the Tariff.
From the Tribune.
There is much discussion and citation of opi
nions on the supposed advantages of leaving in
term tional trade to the natural operation of the
laws of production and transfer; but whatever
may be the theoretical benefit of unrestrained
trade, its practical working is evidently ruinous
to us as a people. Tf e can conceive of a time so
remote, when men and nations, in a kind of
millennial coinraunity ot labor and commerce,
may be governed by the Christian law of doing
unto others as they would be done by, and it
may do no harm to advocate the extension of
tee rule to tne niuit oi pruaonce; diu so long as
individual avarice and national selfishness pre
vai, it will be well to provide tarib" and custom
Louses, as well as bolts, bar., and polijo.
As for the pacific aud civilizing influence of
international commerce, we have recently had a
rich sp cimt-n of it in British, neutrality; und, if
peace is to toe maiutamva witn etner nations,
we Fubmlt that an intelligent voluuteer system,
coast detenses. and independent manufactures.
are much more efficient and cheaDer means than
large importations. The Euglish newspapers.
manufacturers, and their lobbcrs on this side
have been, and are, industriously trying to
incite disaffection among the classes of our peo
ple in order to stifle our manufactures and
enrich themselves; and there are simple people
among us who believe that the ftf-e trade which
Adam Smith and John 8tuart Mill advocated is
really practised by Enplani. The position of
Ureal isritam is peculiar, as sae lias to ouy
breadsluffs and raw products in her attempt to
become the workshop of the world. Of sixteen
of the principal articles, however, from which
nor revenue is raided, eiirht of which we expert,
the following is the averago rate or duty exhl
blted, both in periods of peace and war:

It would be difficult to cull eizht articles of
importation from which, with our preseat neces
allies, we raise an average duty ol SO per cent.
In fact, the sc.-stvled tree trade system of Eas-
land has a most convenient lasit.y, aud is closely
studied witn rctpicnce to oreatuu? down loreiam
competitors. Wu lately published a table of the
production of manufacture?, mechanic arts, and
mining of the United Slates from the years 1850
to lbtiO, by which it appeared that tho increase
in tho whole was only 'JO per cent. In ten years
A more lorciule illustration ot the oppressive
influence of low tariff could scareel v be found.

been more thun IW) per cent., while tuat or agrt
culture was about 2uU, thus reducing the decen
Dial improvement In manufactures and mechanio
arts to a bcecarly 60 per ceut. I The trading and
importing luten-sts or mis city are organizing
all over the couutrv their Irwe trade leagues.
'while their agents, furnishel with funds, are
keepincr open house aud plylu all the known
arts ol tne lobby at Wasaiiou to pull down
tho tariif and mill further prostrate our rising
manufactuips.
It happens that the Committee of Ways and
Menus in utl find the Secretary of the Treasury
with means to meet the expenses of the Govern
ment. Tlieie are three sources from which they
may be drawn customs, direct tax, or a mixed
internal revenue. The Constitution forbids an
export duty, aud the tax on Import-) has met the
oruinary expensrs oi tne uovernment. Mr.
JlcCulloch must have about $l.iu,()0i),000 for the
interest on tun national ueut, $100,000,000 more
for the current expenses, and, 11 possible.
$50,000,000 more to aids liquidation. From the
tariit substantially as it stands, ho may expect to

If these traders and forwarders who are clamor

A judicious encouragement of manufacture,
while raising tho revenue, would have the ad
ditional eflcctof turnibhiug a home market tor
our produce, work lor our hue, skilled labor,
would curb luxury, euhanco the stability and
"valai of property, give us indeoutdence, aud
constitute us a homogeneous people. Such a
policy, we contend, Is ultimate gain, the highest
economy; but if it wero nc, would not thee
blessings be worth paying something for?
Will the opposite policy give us anything
beyond the wre'.ched prlviWe of cousuming
loiein finery, and enriching those wno dole
them out to us ?
President Jo button's Speech.
From Vt Timti
The birthday of Washington was fittingly
chosen for popular demonstrations la favor of
the Union. That in this city wa3 triumphant
That In Washington, equally enthusiastic, was
even more significant, for there tho President
llmself uttered "thoughts that breathe and
words that burn.". .That gret ert'oit of wisdom
and patriotism will secure for hi -a the gratitude
Cl bis own, country and the approbation of the
world. Whn this wonderful gpeeca has been
attentively read and digested by the Armrloan
people, lTenment Johnson win do as nrmiy es
tabliihed in the lrconndence and affections as the
most popular of his predecessors.
There la not a point touched In the speech that
does not find response In Union-loving hearts.
Its rebuke ot traitors and demaeognes is alike
stern and deserved. The denunciation orPUdoU
and 1 oombs for attempting to destroy the Union
hv R bullion, and of Stevens. Sumner, and Phil
lips lor resisting the work of reconstruction, Is
as great as it i severe. The ioluntice and cruelty
of Congrosa towards Tennessee and her repre
sentatives are made so cloar that "all who run
can read." The Inconsistency and absurdity of
declaring, as we di'ii that Stales were not out of

deep rivers of blood to establish that fact, to
tern round and say that Slates art out or the
Union and shall not com in, are made as clear as
the sun that brightened this morning. The les
son of duty towards oflendlng brethren wno ac
knowledge their offense and promise asaend
menl Is eloquently and reverently impressed.
The interview with President Lincoln, showing
hat were the views of the late lTeaiden on the
subject of constitutional amendments, is full of
iubtruction.
The assuraneer found In every sentiment and
sentence ot this enlightened speech that Presi
dent Johnson adheres inflexibly to all the pruv
ciolos avowed during the Rebellion; that ho re
iterates his solemn conviction that "treason is
criMe,1 and that official traitors siiould be pun
ished, and that tho enemies of tho Union are bis
enemies, and its friends bit friends, is full of en
couragement, anu win unuo unu invigorate
people upon whose judgment and patriotism he
so frankly and confidingly reposes. His faith
will save aim ana tne country, inarea, irom
the 22d day of February. 18C7, the Union, with
all the stripes and stars by which it is symbo
lized, is a fixed lact.
The President and the Union.
From tin Timet.
The demonstration on Thursday In support of
the President's policy was, perhaps, tho most
nptable political assemblage since the opening
of the sectional conflict five years ago. There
was a remarkable fitness in tne coincidence oi
Washington's birthday having been designated
for ench a demonstration. The occasion apart
from the immediate interest of current political
action was one for the suoDrcstion of every
thing like mere party or partisan fueling, and.
unless we greatly misapprehend tue temper
which marked the vast gathering at Cooper in
stitute, ouly tho most single-minded purpose on
the part ot those whose countenance and speech
were invoked tor tne occasion. iur. owara and
Mr. Dennison loft their posts to be present at
this Union gathering, at a sacrifice which ic
would be impossible lor those not familiar with
the exactions of official life to estimate.
The Secretary ot State could only havo been
present in obedience to a call far higher than
any mere party oongauons impose; ana me
whole bearing oi his temperate ana luuicious
speech will convince even the most bigoted of
partiean opponents that nothing is further from
his thoughts than a party triumph, on a ques
tion where the integrity of the Union aud the
rational adjustment of the rights and liberties ot
tin classes wnnin tne union are concerned.
"Say what you will or what you may," are Mr.
Seward's words, "the States are already organized
in perfect harmony with our amended Constitu
tion, and are in earnest co-operation with the
Federal Government." These are not words
lightly or heedlessly spoken. They are the
words ot a statesman who3e record is so slear
before his countrymen and boiore the world on
all that appertains to the vindication et rigtit
and justice, without regard to creed, or race, or
section, that taere is no one io-oay in tne rants
of sober and intelligent men to impugn it.
What object ha Mr. Seward to gain in coming
here to tell us that the President is acting
thoroughly and unflinchingly witn the friends of
freedom and equal justice r Mr. aewara nas
nothing to win in the shape oi popular favor
from the citizens et his own State nothing to
dspiecate in the way of popular rebuke. He
came here because the people, witheut distinc
tion of party, desired to near irom him directly
upon questions on which his voice, as first
Minister, according to our constitutional forms.
is not otherwise hoard, lie came here witn his
colleague, tho PoHtmaster-Ucncral, to announce
the essential agreement of tho principal advisers
of the President on the great practical points of
the policy thus tar pursued Dy tne executive.
And be came nere to assure those wno may
have been inclined to distrust the President's
kindly intentions towards the Ireedmen, how
thoroughly protected th emancipated class at
the South already are under tne existing tiureau
Law, and bow eiheient that law may be in the
hands of such a President as Andrew Johnson.
In all these points ot view the presence ot
members of the Government on Thursday was a
publio benefit of incalculable value. In other
ret pec ts the demonstration was an almost un
parallbled succss. The people were there in
overwhelming number!, eager, earnest, decided
in their enthusiasm for the President and the
Unioa. The inteUiqerwe of New York was. per
haps, better represented than it has been since
the great gatherings which enlisted the North
as a todv lor the Uninn'nve years ago. Then.
as now, there was neither party trick nor party
spirit to summon the people to their duty. Then,
at now, the question was not who should gov
ern, but whether there should be a country to
be governed, lnou, as now, the sound, sober,
solid judgment of the people was evoked, and
Congressional devices were blown to the winds.
The great toul of the world is lust. And the
oftener its sympathies find expression the bettor
lr those who govern aud those who are
governed.
Klnv T.nu'N TTnrnnGtltutlnnnt.
Fromhe Timet. I
The highest court in the State of Mississippi
has declared tbo Stay law passed by the Legis
lature of that State to be unconstitutional. The
same result is inevitable whenever the question
shall be brought to a final test in the States
which have by similar enactment sought to
Impair the, obligations et contiacts, and enable
their ciUzens to repudiate their just debts. Cer
tainly the United States Supremo Court will de
cide against all these laws as tar as nen-resident
creditors are concerned. What lolly it Is, then.
lor the logWlative bodies of Virginia. North
Carolina, and other Southern States, to fritter
awuy thir time ;n the discussion ot "bills to
prevent the collection of debis," when, after
they agree upon a particular term the law will
not be worth the paper it is writteu upon. -They
cannot even gain a temporary delay, whilo ihey
may so exiiBperate Northern creditors as to over
come the preteut lenient lecliug towards South
ern debtors. The people of tuu South ought to
realize that their iutil eauctuioLts only make
them eneinius among the vry class that they
must look to lor favors a class that has hitherto '
been iriendly to them aud has an interost in
their advancement; that they are ruinous to
State ciedit, odious to every principle of justice,
aud liist seriously retard the restoration of
commercial und but iness prosperity.
General Giant and the next Presidency
The Administration, the Politicians and
the People. "
From the Herat. ' , ,
We are within two years, eight months and
twelve days ot the next Presidemlat election.
Time flies rapidly in those days, and the great
Btrugglo of 18C8 will soon be upon us. Th poli
ticians, this clique, that clique, and the other,
are sapping aud mining to secure the prize, and
woiklng to turn the Administration to their pur
pose and to befog and betray the people. To
head them off, and to simplify the radical war
upoa the Administration, we proclaim General
Grant aa th,e independent champloa of the army
and the peoplo for the next Presidency.
The late sanguinary Rebellion and its tre
mendous consequences huye taught the Ame
rican people that politicians, political cliques,
and parties are not to be trusted that their
professions are fraudulent, that their promises
are deceptions, that they are utterly sell ah and
unscrupulous, aad that to Bccure power, spods,
and plunder they will stop at nothing. We
are indebted for the lata Rebellion mainly to
the reek. ess politicians of -the old Dauiooratio
party, and their hideous scramble lor power
and epoils. Ono Government did not furnish
them a sufliclont number of Presidents, cabinet
members, ministers abroad, congressmen, 1at
offices, jobs, and spoil.i, and so, tailing in the
election of 1800, the Southern Democratic party
leaders, such as Jeff. Davis, Mason-and Siidell,
Toembs and Yancey, Breckinridge and Hunter,
TTlgiail and Yulee, liepjflnitn and Iverson, O.' C.
Clay. Cobb, Thompson and Floyd, and tho whole
Southern Democratic Conventicle, With pdor old
Ducbanan as their tool or their victim; their
coniederato or their slave, hitched their for
tunes to the black and suiohuroua chariot of
South Carolina, and started full drive down the
broad road to Dante's lnterao.
This was the horrible and bloody ultimatum
of the Southern secession radicals, th control
ling wing of the old exploded Democratic party.
Like Lucifer, they would rather rule In hell than
serve In Heaven, and like Lucifer, they' have
fallen never to rise again. The civil war which
they brought upon the country rallied the people
to tne rescue. The people have saved the coun
try irom the Southern raaicaU one gang of de
structive politicians inputting down the late
rebellion, and the people are now required to
step in and save the country from another set ot
destructives the Northern radicals In the work
of restoring tho Union. In thtB jjood work The
Administration and its policy lurniaU a satisfac
tory base of operations. The clamor and can
nonading, of the Copperheads amount to
nothing. It la all only the exultation of a
discarded political taction over a timely rebuff
from an honest President against another cor
rupt and reckless political faction, which ought
to be discarded, and is destined in its turn to lie
cost out. Misery loves company, and so the
Copperheads reioice.
IJui what is the prospect before us? Prom
the issue raised between Congress and the'Presi
dent there is but a cloudy prospect of Southern
restoration during President Johnson's term ot
oflice. With timely assistance from the people,
however, he may carry through his safe, sound,
and acceptable programme.' Otherwise, betore
the end of his torra our financial labrlo of debts,
credits, and currency, may be shaken as by an
earthquake, and our political an aire thrown
into something like Mexican conlusion. A Gov
ernment with its legislative and executive de
partments at crofcg purposes is like a house
divided against itself. It can do little or nothing
to any good purpose, but U may do a world of
mischief. The first duty, therefore, devolving
upon the people is to brim? inch a pressure to
bear upon Congress as will etfeel a harmonious
co-operation between the two houses and the
Executive. The Union will be endangered if
the Government is brought to a stand-still by "a
balky team." The balky horses must be made
to pull or be taken out.
All this trouble results from the selfish in
trigues and schemes ot base politicians for
power and spoils. Copperheads and radicals
and so-called conservative Republicans are all
scheming lor the next Presidency. The game
of some is to abuse, and 'of others to use tho
Picsident; of some to cheat him. of other to
deleat h.ni; but he has too much judgment and
too strong a will ol his own to be or beeome the
Presidential champion of uny ol these cliques of
politicians, juoreover, no nas declared that he
uas no aspirations ior jtne succession, and we
know that when. ho speaks he speaks what he
means. '
Arainst all these double-dealing cliaues of
politicians, tncrelore, and to Hank them in their
schemes to uee or abuse the Administration, we
proclaim that favorite of the people, the idol of
tne army ana tne priue ot the country, that
nonest, lncorruptmiu soiaier-Kieuerai lirant
the people's candidate tor tho next Presidency,
lie can be selected without the aid of party
caucuses or conventions, or party platforms of
any mna, ana ne win sweep tue country like
Abraham Lincoln. With this disposition of the
Presidential questiou in advance, the difficulties
between Congress and the President may be
overcome, and especially wb?n we know that
Andrew Johnson is not a candidate, and has no
other ambition than that of restoring the South,
and the peace, haraionv, aud prosperity of the
Union. In this view he has a tower of strength
In. the name of General Grant against the Presi
dential schemen of conflicting political cliques
and parties aiming to cheat or destroy the Ad
ministration. Andrew Johnson has no favors to
ask, and with Grant in the field tor the succes
sion, the politicians may as well hang up their
fiddles, and assist in restoring the Integrity of
tne union, ior against urant and the Adminis
tration all their Uttlo Presidential schemes will
come to nothing.
Piesident Johnson's Speech.
From the World.
We do not enter into the feelings of the fasti
dious people who claim that the President's
speech on the 22d wanted dignity. He was not
1.1 Y-fc 3 i 1 A . '
fcpeaaing as rrosiuem, oui as a private citizen.
A few weeks ago, the most Influential member of
Congress arraigned him ior remarks made in a
private conversation with Senator Dixon, and
was insolent enough to suggest that the Presi
dent deserved beheading lor expressing his opi
nions. When the leader et the House of Repre
sentatives, speiiKing in nis omciai capacity, thus
denies to the Prcnuent the most ordinary rirhts
ot a citizen, he is justified in practically assert
ing his rights in a pretty strong term. He is
too strict an observer of decorum to overstep
the reserve of official forms when speaking as a
public offieer; but as a simple citizen, address
ing his fellow-citizens, he showed his practical
contempt lor the Congressional deulal of his
light to say that bis soul la his o irn.
We have had a Tennessee President before
whose intrepid openness made tho nincompoops
huu rcu-mpiMis ui uis uay siure ana gasp.
Gencrui Jackson's ireeuoms ot this kind were
official as well as unofficial, aa his replies to
certain delegations and committees in the Dank
days bear witness.' Anybody who is curious to
tee specimens may find them la the third volume
of Partou's "Lite." 'l-o asonol'Rufus King, who
was the spokesman of a committee of merchants
and bankers Irom this city, General. Jackson
juid: "Well, sir, Ruins IL'ng was always a
Federalist, aud I suppose you take alter him.
Insolent, oo ou say 1 Whut do you come to me

that has attempted to control the Government.
I've got my loot upon it, and I'll crush it." He
was perpetually cayiug ho had no confidence in
Congress, and expressing the opinion that its
members biid been bought up with bank gold.
"The d d ifcternal scoundrel 1" was the epithet
he applied to one member of Congress. After
ruaunig ono ot Mr. Clay's phillipics aeainst him.
be exclaimed: "Oh, it I live to get these robes
oi ollice o;f aie, 1 will bring the rascal to a
dear account." Piesidept Johnson has not ap
proached the passionate outbursts of kis Tennes-
i-ec predecessor; und, indeed, ha said nothing
not justified, and even demanded, by the circum
stances.
It is a duty which Mr. Johnson owed to the
Lnion cause to disabuse the country ot a deeep
tion industriously practised upon it by the Re
publican party, aud we do not well see how he
could have iione it vyeciuauv in any other wav.
For the last Bix mouths that party has been
using bis name and prestige to enable thorn to
carry the elections, and then pi esumiug on the
retultof these elections to overawe him into
submission to their policy. Tuoir arrogance in
Congress rests on the fact that they have carried
nil the Jvorthciu State electious, which thev
bold over the brad of the President as a proof
ot enaorsemcni cy tne people; wnen, in truth.
without the aid of the Presidents name th
Northern majorities would havo been agaiuBt
them. It is necessary that tbia4ihonet game
ot. playing tLe President's popular iuliuonce
agalust his orncial Influence should c stopped.
" All tho fair elections wero curried by th-s
stratagem, aud as eoon as Uouretj uiu. tue-o
elections were floutodlnthe President's face as i
a proof that the republican party is too strong
for him to cops with. Tho same game was
attcmpUd the other day by the Reoublioan
Convention in Connecticut. It was repeated
yesterday by the Republican Convention of In
diana. These conventions affect . to endona
both the President and Congress. They mean
to lay stress on the former woile the election Is
rendinc. and to point to the latter after it is
over, as the true interpretation of the result:
thus using the President as a sort of drum to
beat up recraits to rigat against him.
i rm. - w. .. 4 . i Linv Avi-
j Jin r" j on vub uui war iu wujuu mis rduo
of the President's name and Influence could be
stopped; and that was by Mr. Johnson's exer
cising his privilece of a citizen to address his
fcllow-oitizens in outspoken language, divested
of officiol reserve. The great body of voters are
not men or fastidious taste or refined education.
in tneir intercourse witn eacn otner, they use
blunt phases, and titter their whole meaning.
Multitudes ot tbem do not very well apprehend
the distinction between official and ordinary
language. H was, therefore, both proper and
necessary that Mr. Johnson should explain his
position la such a way that no intrepreter would
be nscegonrv to "explain bis explanation." The
most fastidious critics of his speech must admit

It with such complete success as to foil all fur

Mr. Johnson has been indebted for much of

and addresses them in tho manner on which his
long personal experience has set the seal of '

uses fit and dignified language; in appealing to
the people against Congress, be ucs language
which the reople understand and demagogues
