From the Tribune. . .
They had a great "Union'' State Contention at
Nashville on the 22d, which was mainly attended
and "ran" by those why were till recently Kobels.
We note "the" names of ex-Governor Nell'S.
Brown, lion. George W. Jones, Hon. Care John
son, and General B. F. Cheatham, as among the
speakers or totter writers; while the Unionists of
"the times that tried men's sonls" had to take
back scats, and were yotod down whenever they
ventured to propose anything. An attempt to
Indorse the sentiments of the Hon. Horace May-
nard's letter was, or course, decisively taDiea.
The Convention of course "indorsed the Pri
dcnl" very en'hiiBlatically ; but when Mr. Mul
ling ol Bedford proposed an indorsement of his
anti-Kebcl utterances ot last April and May, he
got laid on the table very suddenly.
The following is the formal declaration of the
majority on the mom question:
In docl.irinu thmr willingness to maintain tbe
Constitution, they desire to be understood as recoi
niztnff tbe late Amenoraont, forb.dilina: the existence
ot involuntary servitude as a part tnoroof, and as
avowing ther determination to nvs to tuat olause
an honest and sincere support. Thoy are prepared
to aid in extending to the tree persons of co or such
protection as shall secure 10 them the undisturbed
enjoyment of all the blessing ot freedom) and of
conceding to thorn a'l tbe civil and political rights
tliiu mav bo comna tblo with the bett interests ot
both races. 1 iiev insist, how.vor, that this subject
bolongs exclusively to the peop e of tbe Htato, and
that the same has not been trauslrrod to Coneroas
by tbe Amendment aforesaid. They are sattsflud
that, whenever all extraneous influences are with
drawn, the relations botw en the two races will be
established upon principle, ot jutioe that will bs
mutually satisfactory and UoneQoial."
The Amendment which these gentlemen
profess to accept and uphold expressly says:
"Congress shall have power to enlorce this arti
cle by suitable legislation." Do thee gentlemen
cheat themselves in saying that the y accept the
Amendment, and at onca proceeding to 9how
that they do not? And, if they cheat them
selves, do thoy cheat anybody else f
"Repentant Republicans."
From tht Tribune.
Such is the phrase whereby the World Charac
terizes the omnibus load of hybrids who hold
aeotmgs to applaud the President's veto of the
Free dmen's Bureau bill, and who write or tele
graph approval of his outrageous atttick on Con.
gross. Says tho World:
'1 be noint of the meeting is, that the respeotablo
Erpublicsn svutlemon wuo inspired, eoutrollod,
sanctioned, or attended it, have indorsed Mr. John
son lunln fight with .tho radicals in Congress, who
number 109 in thj lluu-e, ana at least 8) in the
t-ouuie! They buvo, in silooi, Riven sanction and
approval to wnat tbe Prosiilunt utieied in Washing
ton wile lbs meeting at the i.oopor Institute was at
Its heighr. They have proolaimod tbe prosont Con
Kicss to be B Hump Congress, aud the radicals, to the
nuniLer we have named, to oe disuniouis s, as we
have been labs line them for some months. They
hav, by He-addess put lorth at Abe meeting,
pieUned to the l'rceidout their support, if be voio tbe
Negro SurTiate bill lor tbe District of Columbia, aud
have undertaken to u tain the Southern States in

spect to ne.'io voting! Tbnv doolare Forney, I). D.,
Sumner, Stevens, and Phillips no better iliau Davis,
Toombs, Klidell, and lkmjawn ."
T he World evidently considers the managers
fd magnates of the Cooper Institute meeting all
fis'd tor tiie Copperhead net, and expects in due
time to land them. This is true as to some, but
mt as to others. They will "nop over" when
the net begins to dtR,r them in.
Iho Journal of Lommtrce is equally eager to
"realize." It rem'nds the fishy school that they
ate b' t a baker's dozen, and tiroes them to take
reiuge at once in the rank ot the uuterrmeJ,
sat mt!:
"it would he much better for tho New York
limes, and especially lor the Connecticut and Mew
Hampshire iiepuo loans who s'and by lr. Johnson,
to su.i erd at onoe all their antipathy to 'Copper-
bears,' as the Times still cats them, to stop all abuse
of Democrats as 'disloyal,' and reflect that the Presi
don: will tail unsupported if thoy succoed in pre
venting the Democrats from sustaining him. In
Congress, there are not a dozen ot them all told; and
without the aid of Democrats, they could not pre
vent I be Kadicals from passing all tueir measures
over a succession of vo oos. In the country at large,
thry are probably in a minority ot tueir own party;
lor e have tolerably good evidence that tbe Radi
cals cany neuilv all the Republican conveutions. It
is sbwr nvpsi-nso for tbe political wire pallors of the
Times to claim special property In Mr Johnson at
such a time as this, or to thinx that be will regard
thim as the only 'people' to whom be has appealed
for support-
That this is so, all men do know; and the
etratrg'ers as well as tne rest. JNegotiattous
looking to a "fusion" of the Cooper Institute
doctors with the Tammany Hail Democracy
have for days been in progress, and Governor
Seward, on Saturday nurnt, was taken in and
done tor at the "Manhattan Club" palace of the
arutocratic Democracy as thouen tbe arrange'
nieuts had already been perfected. At the date
of onr last advices they had not been; vet
nothing in the tucure is more certain than that
our "reuentunt Republicans" will soon be tol
lowing the flag ot' Sham Democracy and shout
ing lor the nominees ot Tammany liall. Watch
and see !
Pnblic Sentiment.
Frim the Tribune.
Tho Time has the effrontery to say that
"I here are four petrous, according to the latest
ensus wuo disapprove tbe reoent speech ot I'resi
dent Johnson. 1 uev are Charles feuuiner, lliadd us
Ktrvous, Wendell Phillips, and tne 'dead duo'
Colore. Jon-ev. The rent of t-e neoplo tiad the sen
tin enu of tbal speech eminently patriotic, and in
accoraance with the principles tf constitutional
liberty."
The folly of Buch assertions d warts even
thfir nnveracitv. The clear developments of
Mr. Johnson's proclivities last week are not yet
six days old: vet they nave already oeen con
demned by the Union majority in each of the
Legislatures ot .Maine, Massachusetts, umo,
Iowa Miskouri. and California, as also bv the
Union Hate Convention of Indiana. Nobody
date attempt td indicate the Legislature of any
one or tbe twenty-two estates whose votes aiuea
to make Mr. Johnson President which is now
even expected to indorse his lreedmen'g bill
veto and Thursday night speech. On the other
hand, tbe Copperheads and late Rebels have
everv where aDDlauded. cheered, tired rims ovpr.
and In every way evinced their delight In, those
demot able utterances.
They have no shadow of doubt that the Presi-
oent is nenreiona an ineir own; mat ne win
veto any bill designed to protect and preserve
the freedmen that Congress may pass. If his
Dositton as between parties for the moment is
equivocal, they regard this as only maintained
In order that be may brlrg tne larger rein
forcement with him when he shall at length
throw off all disguise, and proolaim kimself
hotly their own. They assert that the Cabinet
is soon to be remodelled In their Interest; that
everything is working as they would have it
with a view to their speedy and enduring tri
umph. We defy any man to name a copper-
bead or stiH malignant Rebel who is not en
raptured with the recent acts of the Iresldent,
which Republicans are dragooned to indorse
and upheld. When they generally do it, the
blackbirds will all be white.
The President and Congress.
From the Times.
The Tribune quotes a single paragraph from
President Johnson's speech that la which he
refer to Utree men by name as "hostile to the
fundamental principles of this Government"
and then denounces sur.rtry Journals a this city
lor -trying to " commend and bolster up - the
annerh hi tlm TTultit extrsni-iUnftrv nlmntit.
We might remind the Tribunt that the para
graph which it quotes is but a very small and a
very intlgnifloant part Of the speech from which
It Is taken. It bad nothing to do with the
main object and drift of that speech, but was
elicited by the questions and exclamations of
the mass of people to whom It was addressed.
Nothing is more common in the 8outh. as tbe
Iribune la aware, than for public speakers to
be constantly called on in th s war for explana
tions, and it is their universal habit to give
prompt and d'rect replies. Andrew Johnson's
entire political life has been tilled by such expe
riences, and it is not surprising that he should
have met such querios hott, just as be had
always met them before, on the stump and on
tbe floor of Congress.
' B-t this was morelv an episode in the speecn.
The main object ot that powerful and remark
able, audress was to insist upon the supreme
cecee'ity of abiding by the principles ot the
Constitution, ot adhoring to the essential aud
fundamental principles oi our republican lorin
of. gpvemmcnti in-the conduct of public affairs,
Instead Of, discarding them all, and making the
arbitrary-will of Congress the guide of public
actiqn. The Tribune does not need to bo in
formed that this u rcaiiy tne issue Dctore toe
country. Charles Sumner, Tnaddeus Stevens,
W endell I'uui'ps, ana otners, act upon ine ineory
that we have conquered the Southern States; that
as tubfugated enemies tliey have no rights under
the Count itution; aud that we are In no respect
restrained or restricted in our dealings with
tbcin bv that Instrument, but may do with
them and towards tbrm whatever we may think
esttntial to tho public safety. Ibis theory is
asserted in extilicli terms, and is made openly
and avowedly tbe basis oi their pub ic action.
President Johnson denounces it as hostile to
the fundamental principles of our Government,
and as lust as certain to overthrow that Govern
ment as were the corresponding principles of
Davis, Toombi, and other leaders of the Seces
sion movement, indeed, they aro to all intents
aud purposes exactly the same. The President,
in opposition to botu. insists that now. as before
the Rebellion, the Constitution is the supreme
law ot tbe land, and that neither Congress,
President, nor any other department of tho Gov
ernment, has any more right to discard, repu
diate, or icuore its authority now, than they had
octore tee war organ, xue war maintained its
supremacy, instead or overthrowing it. It pre
served tne cnton instead ot destroying it. And as
it is tbe sworii duty oi the Executive to "mam
tain abd defend" the supremacy of tbe Constitu
tion, rresiaont jonnsou declares it to be nt
purpose to do this agansl all men, ot whatever
section or wbstever party, or with whatever mo
tive they may assail and resiBt It.
The Iribune assumes that the President's de
nunciations were directed against the Union
majorities in Congress. We do not o regard it.
The men named by him, he has never recog
nized as representatives of the Union party. The
Enucipies ttiej avow ol this poiut have never
een accepted as the principles of the Union
party. In neither House of Congress will a
majority of that party assent to th jse princi
ples or adopt tuein as their own. It is quite
true that through tbe construction of the com
mittees, tbe control ol legislation has been
substantially lodged in their hand-1 but this
does not identity tne cnon maiont.es with, the
principles avowed, or render them obnoxious to
the censures and charges which these princi
ples justly incur. It is perfectly well known,
moreover, that the direct and outrageous per
sonal assaults made by the three men named
upon the President, ailorded ample provoca
te .n, if not justification, tor this language
toward? them. One ot them had openly charged
hfm with usurpation which would have cost a
kiDg his head. Another had spoken of nim as
a "presidential obstacle to be removed." This
is nut language calculated to conciliate or
Boorhea President of strong convictions, and
conscious of tbe uprightness and sincerity of
bis intentions. . ,
Tbe Iribune furthermore belies the position
of the President when he speaks of him ai
desiring, the admission- to Congress of the
"red-handed foes" of the nation's lue. Tnts
is undoubtedly the calumny upon which the
President's loes will mainly rely in the prosecu
tion ot their crusade against mm. but it cannot
deceive or mislead the people. President John
ston has never eaid one word nor one syllable
capable ot any such construction. Over and
ovtr again he has conceded tht right of Con
gress to require unadulterated and unmistakable
toyaly as a qualification lor a seat in Congress,
ana to presence any oath it deems necessary as
a tet', ol that loyalty. In the very speech which
elicits the Trwune's denunciations, this senti
ment is asserted in language incapable of being
misunderstood. But be does insist that loyal men
men who have never been for an hour disloyal
men who have perilled fortune, family, life,
everything dear to them in delense of the Union
men elected bv loyal constituents and repre
senting loyal district'', shall not be excluded
f imply because they belong to States of which
the Rebels once held temporary and snort -lived
po-sessutn. jNoooay nas denied tne . right ot
congress to exclude men like Davis, Toombs.
Stephens, or any men who plotted the disrup
tion and downiail ot tbe American Union, or
who aided that disruption af'er it had benn
plotted by others. But why should men like
Majnard, Stokss, Tavlor. from Tennessee, or
jonpsoD, from Arkansas, be excluded? Tney
were never traitors, xnev never tor an instant
aided or countenanced, by word or act. the
lnlamous designs , ot tbe Rebellion. Why
should they be confounded with those who
did? "Their admission," says the Iribune,
"while excluding others, will nowise pacify.
nor satisfy, nor placate tbe South; on the con
trary, it will intensify her hatred." Very likely
Dtit it will do;us;ce it will vindicate the prin
ciples of the Constitution it will draw a line of
distinction between loyal men and traitors. Are
not these objects of some importance? Is it not
worm w Due to snow the nation that, now tne
war is over, loyal men are to be recognized as
deserving well of the republic, and not to be in
volved in precisely the same condemnation with
traitors and Rebels? When the Tribune wl.l
bring its radical friends in Congress to act in this
direction, .it will have done much towards avert
ing the conflict which it professes to deprecate
between the executive and legislative depart
ments of the Government. Theexclusion ofloyid
men from Congress, in violation alike of their
ngbts ana ot tne constitution, is the mam it not
tke f ole cause of the present difference ot senti
ment between them.
If the Union majority in Congress bad been
in its action true to the principles ot the Union
party, and had not allowed itseit to be swerved
irom those principles by the adroit and reckless
machinations of men who have with them no
sympathy whatever, this conflict never would
nave arisen. Whenever that majority can thro
ott the influences by which it has oeen thua mis
led, and come Dack to its original and true po
sition, that conflict will eud, and all tbe dangers
which now seem to be iaioendmir over the
UnioL party aud the country will be lorever "in
the deep Dosom ot tne ocean buried." We shall
not readily or willingly a-gpalr of a coujumma
tion so devoutly to be wished.
Picsldent Johnson and tbe Radicals The
Issue lieloie the Country.
From the Herald.
Tbe late unanswerable veto message of Presi
dent Johnson so clearly di fines his Axed policy
of Southern restoration, and hit late emphatic
Bpeecb against Thaddeus Stevens and that school
of radicals draws so distinctly the line of division
between them and the Administration that the
rank and file of the Republican party must take
one side or the other.- The doable dealing same
which has thus far been ao successfully mated
before the people by tbe Republican leaders, of
ii urn j proiessions oi aanesion to resident John
son,' while employing all their strength to coerce
Llm into ubmission; or "to do without him,"
by the independent power ol a two-thirds ma
jority In each House of Congress, is a game
which, in the first trial In the Senate, has failed,
and failed to signally that there is the end of it.
But the question still remains to be settled
whether the Bouthern restoration policy of An
drew Johnson or that of Thaddeus Stevens shall
prea11.
From present appearances there is nothing to
indicate a coming compromise. The majority of
each bruch of Congress, though stimued and
staggered by tke veto, and the supplemental
speech Irom'tho Wblte House, still maintain a
compact and belligerent front, Mill hold fastt
the fanatic Stevens and his committee of recon
struction, and have defiantly declared for the
Indefinite exclusion of the excluded Southern
States, in view of the 1 necessity of their
reconstruction ' upon the basis ot negro
eutirage - or the exclusion of the ' black
race irom the basis of Federal representa
tion. In plainer terms, the issue joined be
tween the resident w simply tbls: The Presi
dent contends that loyal representatives from
the Southern States reconstructed on hH condi
tions are now entitled to admission Into Con
gress. The radical majority in each house sav
no; and are resolved, if possible, to keep those
Ma es out ot congress and our national polities
until alter the next Presidential election.
This is the issue whether the Southern States,
con rrving with the t atisfactorv conditions laid
down by President Johnson; shall be rostored to
t ocfiresa, Jaw and order, industry ana trade, as
last as possible, or shall be kept bark, under a
mixed commissicn ot military aud civil laws and
ollicers, and under tbe pressure or distrust, stag
nation, bankruptcy, and demoralization, till
alter the next Presidential election or 1S68. The
President protests against the policy of Congress;
Congress repudiates the policy ot the President,
and consequently there must be an appeal to the
people. It is understood that, pursuant to a
late Congressional caucus of the Republicans,
they have appointed a campaign committee in
view ot this year's Northern State elections, and
especially those of next autumn, from New York
to caiitornia. The contest netore the peopio,
thoreiore. will soon be formally opened.
It will be the business of this Congressional
con miitee to iurnish the Republicans through
out the country with electioneering documents
in support of the policy ot Stevens and his re
constiuction directory, as the new Republican
platiorm. It ought to be the business of the Re
publican endort-ers ot the Precedent's policy to
fight this electioneering system with tbe same
weapons, for here is the all-linportaut point in
tbe case President Johnson has not gone and
dues not intend to go over to the skeleton re-
niHtrjs of the Chicago Democracy. His contest
ith Thaddeus Stevens he Intends to fight out
ini-ide the Republican lines. He adheres to the
Union party and tho pr nctples of the Baltimore
Convention of 18U4. He adheres to the Union
Erogramme of his iUustrious predecessor, Abra
am Lincoln, and, nolding this position, he is
prepared to stand tne test oi an appeal trom
Congress to the people. That this i the course
which rresidem Johnson will pursue we are well
assured. 11 the Republican party, therefore, as
now organized, tball be broken to pieces next
full, trom a foolish adhesion to Thaddeus Stevens,
it is not the Chicago Democracy, but the Union
party of tbe Administration that will take its
place in the next Congress.
The integrity of the party in power depends
upon its ailhesion to the Administration, and
this adhesion depends upon tbe President's
Southern policy, with which the country is
satisfied. As for tbe next Presidential election,
whether in the Interim the outside Southern
States shall cr thall not bo restored to Congress
nnd io a voice in that election, General Orant.
the idol of the armv. will be the choice oi the
people. The advantages and tbe probabilities of
tbls present contest between Andrew jodiisoq
and Thaddeus Stevens are a'.l in favor of the
Administiation in an appeal to the people.
Alexander II. Stephens.
l'rom the World.
The Tribune publishes editorially just com
mendation of the speech made by Alexander II
StepheDs before the Georgia Leg.slature, on the
anniversary ot Washington's birthday. "We
frankly accord to this address," Fays iho tribune,
"the praise of being perhaps the best yet pro
ceeding from any citizen south of Mason and
Dixon's line. It contains some good advioe to
bis constituents, and some sound views on pub
lic affairs." We are el ad to repeat and indorse
thispraiee. Its source and its evident sincerity
give If a value unperceived by its author, as
bearing on the question ot Southern representa
tion m congrrss.
We put it to the Tribune to consider whether
men holding the views ana cnerismng the senti
ments expressed by Mr. Stephens in his late
speech, would not be more useful in -a public
ftationthan rusting in the obscurity of private
lite.. It is tbe policy of that paper and its poli
tical confederates to ostracize from public life
the whole class of what It styles "ex-Rebels."
We tbink, on the contrary, that a truly repent
ant Rebel, it he bas been able and conspicuous.
is tbe best apostle of loyalty. If we wished to
cure the Radicals of their delusion, we know of
lew men w hom, as missionaries lor this purpose.
we would prefer to Mr. Greeley, It we could only
convert liim. Mr. Beechcr's accession to Presi
dent Johnson's supporters will do more to pro
selyte Republicans than could be accomplished
by a score of the best Democrats in the country.
It we could see Sumner, and Thaddeus Stevens,
and Wendell Phillips, and Garrison, drop
ping like autumn leaves into the lap of Recon
struction, we should proclaim, on the most con
vincing grounds, thai the summer of radicalism
is pasi. its harvest ended, and the country saved.
The same argument applies with equal force to
what tae Tribune calls the ;"ex-Rebi4s." a phrase
which curries an admission that they are Rebels
no longer. In proportion as they art men of
position, sagacity, eloquence, ana address, it is
the more important that they should be selected
tor official prominence. Mr. Stephens was of in
finitely more service to the Rebellion as Vice
President ol tbe Southern Confederacy, than he
could have been as a private citizen. His late
speech is of tar more value, it will command
iii ore attention, and exert a more potent inliu
ence, Irom the lact that he has tuat been elected
by Georgia as one ot ber United States Sena
tors. But if the radical policy is persisted in
it this able and eloquent advocate of the
Union has the door ot the Senate slammed in
hlsfaee, and is remanded to tke obscurity of
his plantation bis salutary influence will be
in a great measure to&t, tor want or an appro
priate sphere of exertion. . He will. be. of as
little account as the "village Hampdens," or the
"mute,, inglorious .Miltons". of Gray's "Elegy."
The South needs statesmen; she needs meu of
moderation, sagacity, personal honor, and poli
tical experience; she needs men in whom she
does, and we safely may, confide, to guide her
counsels, ana water wun patriotic assiduity the
replanted and budding tree of Southern Union
lm. But it ptesent loyalty is not permitted to
atone lor past rebellion, tne Koutn will be given
ovsr to the guidance of upstarts and nobodies,
and will bounder on nobody can tell w nit her,
We make the following exuact from the TrU
tune's commendatory article:
It is of more oonsequonee to ma iire what Mr
Stephens proposes lor the luturo. tie does not
leave us In doubt on this any more than on tbe
other point: "We should accept the isrue of tbe
war, aid abide by tliem in pood faitu." What are
the issues ttus sottleu? First, that Georgia is in the
Union, not out ot it; and that "tbo who e Unitea
- etste, therelote, is now, without question, our
eonntiy, to bs cherished and dofouded as such bv
al. our berts ana by all our arms." That at least
is icme'hlng. Next, slavery bas been destroyed.
W Lei her for better or iorvorse is not imuortitnti
it is son aud tbe now si ate of things is to be ac
cepted. Many changes must lollow. Old oodes of
law become obolote. For the negroes wine and
humane laws should be made. Mr. btepheus uses
lanvuape which tor a southerner ot tuis genera,
tion is lemarkablut "Ample and full protection
should be secured to ibeia, so that they may start
qval before the iaw In the possession and enjoy,
nient of all rights of personal liberty and property."
That bas even a flavor of the Declaration in It,
Could Mr. Ktepbeus but persuade bis tieorgia
Legislature to frame such opinions into statutes!
lie nraisea the fidelity ol the negro in time nut:
admits bis capacity lor improvement, and correctly
lays down ine principle that tbe tol jeot of covers-
ment is tne ro a oi tne governed, luoiuaing those
ot African duseent, "looking io the grouuwt attain
able satan cement, improvement, ana progress, ppy.
steal Intellectual, and moral, of all classes and con
ditions within the r nghtlul jurisdiction " Again,
"All obstacles, if tberej be any, ihou d be removea,
which can possibly binder or rtard the blacks to
tbe extent ol their oapaoity." Education should be
open to them, not only for their "wa take,' but lor
thai ot the community. "It Is difficult," says Mr
btepbens, very explicitly and sensibly, "to eon.
celve a greater evil or curse tnau couio peiaii oar

they nay be that lomehow the problem has got to

flod out of sight. ' .
The roint on which we wish to fix attention
Is the Tribune's adrelrsion that It is eminently
di slrable that tbe wise and enlightened views of
Mr. Stephens should be generally adoptee at
trie south. uupposiDg it to be true, as tne
Iribune insinuates, that' Mr. Stcnhona ia iu
advance of hie section, what likelier method
can be suggested of bringing them up to his
standard, than to reinforce his tnfluenoe by
recognizing his claims to the high oface bis
fellow-citiseB have spontaneously conferred
upon him, and of which, by urgent persistence,
rbey; have extorted his acceptance ? The fact.
the circumstances, and the unanimity of bis
election attest their confidence in him. Tho
wise and statesmanlike advice be has given
them ought to recommend him to ours. If
Congress persists in Its mad policy; if it rejects
bis claims and consigns him to obscurity, how
run it luBill'y its action to the reasonable and
union loving people of the country?
