THE NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OP THE LEADING JOURNALS UrON CURRENT TOPICS. OMP1LED EVERT DAT FOB EVmflMO f ntQRAPH, Trrsidcnt Johnson's ReHponatbUUjr. from the Tribune. If any doubt existed as to PrCBident Johnson's connection with the massacre in New Orliaos, it will be remove 1 by reading his despatch to Attorney-General Ilerron, ot Louisiana. This despatch, written with the knowledge that loyal Citizens of tbo United Slates were dying from wounds received by a Rebel mob, assumes the lull responsibility of the deed. The policy that prompted Mayor Monroe and his followers found its inspiration in Washington. This conclusion tills us with Inexpressible nadness, but we cannot resist the fact. It is u dreadful thing to arraign the President of the United States as being in any possible sympathy with the unlawful shtdders of blood, but when a plain fact is to be stated the plainest words jure the best. In the first place, the President Tecognizes a usurped power to communicate his wishes. James M. Wells is the Governor ot Louisiana, and the official representative of the SUte. To him the President should have npoken. But Governor Well?, a duly elct;d Governor by Rebel votes, had called this Convention together, and the President steps over the theory of State rights, and vends his commands to an oflioer of his Cabinet his Attorney General one Andrew S. Ilerron a conspicuous Rebel iu the days of treason. The President directs him to call upon General Sneridm lor "sufficient force to sustain the civil authorities in suppressing all illegal or unlawful assemblies." If the President really "believes that States have rights, aud Governors of States privileges, then his course in recog nizing an officer of Governors Wells' Cabinet as the proper authority to call out troops is a usurpation. What would have been saiJ if Con press had requested Attorney-General Speed to call out the troops and perform the highest executive lunctinns? Yet Mr. Speed has as much right to call out the troops ot the United States as Mr. Herron has to take command of tne troops in Louisiana. This is a small point in our argument, but it shows the tendency of the 1'iesident. His despatch recognizes a usurpation, aud proceeds to defend the massacre. All "unlawful assem blies" must be suppressed. Well, this particu lar assembly was suppressed and very etlertu ally for its leaders were murdered, and those who escaped murder are either lying in the prison or the hospital. Accordiug to the Presi dent, this Convention had not "obtained the consent of the people of the Slate." If it at all entered into our areument, we michta.sk him what right the President had to determine this fuct f Governor Wells thought the Conven tion was legal, and as he is Governor, whnt business has President Johnson with it? Who .ilfes the President of the United States the power to traverse the decision of a8tate Execu tive, or to deeide upon the competency of a State Convention ? Would he be authorized in bending a despatch to General Barlow declarine the New York Legislature to be unlawful, and calling upon General Hooker to disperse its members ? According to the President's own theory the theory that Louisiana is a sove reign State, and her oHicers competent to gov ern it he is Guilty of a most flagrant assumption of executive power. We pass beyond this theory, or indeed any theory ot Presidential prerogative. The tacts are that certain Union men conspicuous for their loyalty during years of war nave been muTdered by Rebels, who were conspicuous for treason in years of war. The men who did the deed are enabled to show warrant lor their crime from the President of the Ummd States. "When Governor Brownlow asked for troops to compel the obedience ot Executive commands, and to protect the Legislature in its legislative power, he was petulantly refused. In Ten nessee the majority was loyal, and the President threw his influence wita the minority. In "Louisiana the majori'y was Rebel, and the Presi dent not only sus'ainert it, but-placed in its hands the army of the United States. If it was right to rcl use aid to Di-owlIow iu seeing that "the law and the Constitution were sustained, and thereby peace and order," then it was wrong to refuse aid to Governor Wells and his Conven tion. It that Convention was unlawful, there are remedies in tne Supreme Court. We have had a dozen Kenian Conventions in the Inst jear all, unlawful as organizing war upon a friendly power. The President permitted them ' to assemble, and sent no trops to disperse them. Why mase an exception 01 loyal men iu Louisiana, who, at the very worst, and accepting sd& truth the charges of the President, were no more illeual than the Senate of the Feniuu Brotherhood ? It is folly to use soft ohrases iu speaking ot this appalling crime. The policy of Andrew Johnson engendered the demon fury whieli ha shed blood in the streets of the Crescent City. His statesmanship has once more raked Rebel flags in New Orleans. Ilia construction of Presidential duty has led him to commit an act of direct usurpation in Louisiana. His oath to 'protect and deled the nation tiutls expression in the unavenged assassination of nitn whose loyalty wan as conspicuous and self-denying and sorely tried as his own. All that we have gained by the war comes to this that in Louisiana an illustrious general of the Union army is com pelled to accept tne orders of a notorious punished Rebel. The time has come for the people to speak and let itbe'iu tones so distinct and unmistakable that even Andrew Johnson will not dare to disobey the warning. The Union Party and the Union Cause. Jtom the Times. The Republicans of the Fifth District of Uli xiois, in a recent Convention, adopted the fol lowing resolution : Itetvlved, That the party which stood by the Gov erument through lour years oi rebellion and trou bou, and nia utainea liocrt aul uuiun in spite oi boutuorn Kebes and .Northern Copperheads, is fully capable ot taking care of the country in tiino 01 peace. This was hoped, expected, believed. But, so far, these hopes have been wholly disappointed. Congress assembled with overwhelming Repub lican majorities iu both Houses. IU first act was one ot oiganized hostility to the President. who "had stoou by the Government throuch lour jears ot rebellion and treason." It3 second act was a demonstration in tavor of universal neiro suttrage. And its subsequent action, through eight months, has been ingloriDtislv dis tinguished by measures calculated, if not designed, to oostruct and' delay the wo.-k and duty ot reunion. The doors of Conaxes.i were locked and bailed asralnst loval Representatives irom loyal Southern States And though finally, in an unaracious andgrudg ins manner and spirit, they admitted Tennessee, Arkausas, with her devotedly loyal Representa tives, is "out in the cofuV'T Coloiiel.Johiiuou, who 'ought tor the Union through four years of rebellion anu treason, ana tnon went to ("on press by a Unlou election, was denied even the rourtesv of the floor 1 Governor Pursoui and bhaikey, euliglueued and patriotic, anxious to return, with their states, to their allegiance, and to aid in restoring iraternlty aud Union, are regaroeu anu trt.-u.iru useuuiuies. Coi grestf, so tar as the prat duty of recon' atructiou is concerned, has proved that Dickens "Circumlocution Office" ceases to be an imiun nation. Congressional "Barnacles" have been for eight months teacbius their constituents 'how not to do it." Aud Cohcress ha finally adlournedf, leaving the sections more estraneed, and tLe chancus of reunion more remote, than th?v were when it met. Is 1t true, then, that the radicals "are capable of tukmir care ot the country in time or peace V Have they shown either capacity or disposition to do so?

But with us there is no such pint. We are neitherjtiit nor wise enougn to endravor to heal the wounds or soothe the irri tations of a vanquished enemy, wnue tne remembrances of war are ever sorrowful, we have much to console, compensate, ana etieor. Not so with our erring brother j. Their reflections are all emoittered. a here Is no brii'ht side, no relief in their war picture. Their leaders are in prison or in exile. Their glorv, their wealth, their means ot sub sistence, and the Government they attempted to establish are no more. When thus overtaken by the consequences and results ot rebellion and war. they submit ted. The Government transmitted the Constitn tio.Tal amendment, abolishing slavery lorcver, requiring them to ratify anil adopt it. This done, and the great element of discord out ot the Constitution, all, North and South, inferred that reunion was accomplished. But how unfortunate was that inference! The word of promised union w as kept to the car but broken to 1 ne nope. The "scheme of reconstruction" adopted by Congress was not only wholly impracticable, but was adopted because it is impracticable. They proclaimed, to help it through, that all Northern States would call their Legislatures and adopt it Immediately. Not the first Statu Legislature has been so called. "Not to do it" was the great merit of the scheme. The Union is to be kept divided until a radical President can be chosen in 1870. But the "how-not-to-do- it policy" will "return to plague the inventors." The people will weary ot radicalism, and crush it out" before its ambitious hones are realized. The year 1870 will coine, but ere it dawns the men who keep loyal Representative) and loyal States out of Coneress and out of the Union, and who deprive the country of the benefits of a, peace which cost rivers of blood ana tnotisanus ot minions oi treasure, win seek political caverns to hide or shield them from popular indignation. The Radical Cry tor Civil War. ' From the World. The riot provoked in New Orleans by the radical representatives of the faction which at the North has sought, through Genoral Paine and other revolutionary members of Congress, to get control of the means lor making war upon the Government, has beeu eagerly seized upon bv the Tribune and the 1'ost as an opportunity for calumniating the President and his policy by pretending that the Louisiana negroes have evolted against the Presidential administra tion, and have, in consequence, been murdered by the "Rebel whites" of the Crescent City. No accusation at once so wicked and so false as this has ever been brought against the negro race in the South by the most extreme Southern advocates of the system of slavery. The history of our civil war stares these slanderers and ii cendiaries of the radical press in the lace, to prove that the Southern negroes, when left to themselves, are, and through all the trials of the war have steadily been, on much better terms with the Southern whites than the Northern radicals are with the Northern millions of sober and law-nbiding men. There were no attempts at insurrection in the South between 1801 aud 18(15. Not even when the Iribune gave up the Federal cause lor lo-t, aud wailed for peace on the oasis ct separation, aid the macks of the South attempt to redress the national balance by turning on their masters. We have heard a great deal, but not much to the purpose, about black "Unionism" and black "loyalty" at the (South. We have heard little or nothing about black fidelity to ihe Southern cause and to the Southern leaders and people. But ! the truth is, that for every black soldier eulisted to do garrison duty on the side of the Union, at lull pay, after the white soldiers hnd done the hghting tor the union, there were at, least torty blacks at the South who cluug to The fortune- of their masters, and repudiated all connection with the Northern army. This misht have been foreseen as an inevitable result by any person who knew the ne:ro character. It is sublime effrontery for radical fournuls to deny it, now that through a tour years' war tne oovious char acter ot the negro race thus made exhibition of itself. It is the pivotal misrepresentation which; the radiculs make in their campaign of passion and calumny the misrepresentation of the recipro cal teeiings of the blacks and whites of the Southern States since the blacks became free. tine would suppose, to hear and read these calumniators, that the white population of the fcoinh hate with utter hatred the very blacks who were laithtul to them and their cause with an unexampled hdeiitv. when the opposite courto would have crushed the fondest hopes of their "siave-mahters," ana secured themselves their freedom; that they desire to starve, mal treat, maim, and kill the very beings whose industry is essential to theirprospeiity.wbo.se trust is essential to iheir domestic peace, whose friendliness is the nabit of the lifetimes of all of them, and whose equal and free exchauge of mutual services is to-day the condition of the lite and happiness ot both to a dcerree beyond what an enforced exchange of such services ever was. The whites ot the South could become copper- colored ana the Diackswuite, sooner man eiiner of them could so become transformed within as to cherish tor the other that bitter hatred, that active malevolence, which the Northern radi cals Impute to both in their efforts to make of the passions ot Doth means tor prolonging their own hold upon place and power. To sunoose the reverse is to suppose human nature, under black skins and under white skins, different irom human nature as it was ever seen under any skin. And the saddest thing in this New Orleans riot is the evidence it gives that, the Northern radicate, ju their attempt to get posses sion of the means for making war utiou the Gov ernment, though pretending concern tor the negro and his 6utlrage, care as little foil the bbicks whom they delude and fool and slaughter, as for the nipn of their own blood who cannot be deluded by their lies, and whose orderly ad ministration of law they have there assailed with revolutionary and cruel violence. The Fntuie ol Mexico The Duty ot Our (lovermneuu ; From the JJerald. , The events now transpiring in Mexicou us fully 6et forth by our correspondence, leave no doubt that the empire of Maximilian is doomed. A tew months more, and neither French soldiers nor Austrian imperialism will stand between the Mexican republic and its normal, condition of anarchy and confusion. The Empress Curlotta has already gone to Europe, whether as an am bassadress to the Court of France, or to look after the estate of her father, the late. King of the Belgians, it matters not; her return to Mexico is far more unlikely than the departure of her'hus band to join her in Europe. Marshal Buzaine, the French commander, appears to be in momentary danger of capture or assasMna tion, and he too contemplates a speedy withdrawal to ranee i wnu his troops. Meautim the" liberal canse is cainincr strength. It is said that the French Marshal ; and the French soldiers and residents seriously obiect to Maxiiuilian's departure at Hits luncture. and that even the farewell of the Empress was not regarded with much favor by these classes. But it is expected that the Emperor has made up his mind to abandon the country whether the French will it or not. ao run tn news. What, therefore, is the probable future of utfor tunaie Mexico r Is she to be uermitted to crumble to pieces 'I Shall she fall bark ini4 her Did system df internecine warftre, contending chiefs, and plundering rnleTS ? Such would seem to be her Inevitable late if some strong power does not interfere to sava her. There is no cle ment within the republic nor among those who are clamoring tot supremacy there which can prevent a return to the former miserable condi tion which has existed lor so many years. Some point to Santa Anna as the future savior, and some denounce him as the worst hated man in the country, lie has tried to govern Mexico before; he has been bunted out. and has crown Immensely rich. It Is quite probable, theie fore, that the Mexican people hntn li trr s. nmh Ott nnnrtip cnrtprnllu halo riilnrll who have gratified their avarice at the p iblicf? expense, iiut n bo, wny ao tne agents ot tne Juarez Government Romero and the rest tako so much troublo to prove him a traitor and so forth ? If the people ol Mexico will not have him for a savior,- then let the people deal with him. Without their consent he can not rule them. Santa Anna failed to govern Mexico, and that settles the question of his statesmanlike capacity. Juarez has failed also up to this time, and there is no prospect that he will succeed any better in the present state of affairs. We care nothing for the claims, the schemes, or the fitness of those men. It is manifested that Mexico, as she stanas to-day, is almost certain to relapse into a condition of anarchy and perpetual civil war, which may invite some other loreign power to inteilcre as France has done. It is the paramount duty of our Government to prevent such a calamity by at once establishing a protectorate ovei: Mexico. As the great governing power of the two conti nents ot America, we should act as the guar dian of our nearest neighboring republic, and put a stop to tho state of affairs there which has already been allowed to exist too long for our own honor or ssfety. We cure not what-long drawn out diplomatic plans Mr. Seward has , in his head. We have seen too much of his tedious, truckling, toady ing metkod of conducting our foreign policy. We are sick ol the whole thing, a:ia we appeal directly to Andrew Johnson to step in and settle this Mexican question by a friendly, or, if necessary, an armed mediation. General Sheri dan proposes to clear up the difficulty with six thousand cavalry, and no doubt he would ac complish it; but there may be no necessity for this. Let Mr. Johnson declare that tho Mexi can people shall be protected in their efforts to elect an entirely new man to govern them under a republican form of government. Let all the old political hacks who have been abusing the liberties and plundering the treasures of the people be set aside, and fresh minds be placed in the direction of public affairs. Let immigration, not ot the elfetn Latin race, but the progressive American people, be encouraged and protected, aud we shall soon see an end of the disgraceful broils that have reduced the fairest earden spot on the American continent to a bloodstained wilderness, destroyed her resources, crippled her commerce, and opened wide her gates to the rapacity ol loreign nations. If Andrew Johnson will set aside the timid policy of Seward, throw the leeis of his protec tion over unhappy Mexico, pay off the debt she owes to France which France ought to got and raise up a new and prosperous republic on our Southern body, he will render his Adminis tration as illustrious as that of Washington. Now is the time. Let not the golden opportu nity be lost. The Philadelphia Convention. From the Daily Xews. The Southern people, disappointed and de ceived in their reliance upon the magnanimity, or at least the justice of their conquerors, are in no condition to build exaggerated hopes upon the basis of any prospective political movement.' Still, we find them accepting very cheerfully and hopelully the foreshadowed action ot the i'niladelphia Convention. And they do this not with the desperation of drowning men clutching at a straw, but with a confidence of swimmers in a rough sea wno at least feel the firm ground beneath their feet. 1 The earnestness with which such men as Alexander II. Stephens enter into the movement, is, in itself, an assurance that the Convention will not be prostituted to the uses of rieninBOEiies, but that a broad national spirit will govern its proceedings. Biiu we nna, nere ana mere, out very rareiy, some signs ot mistrust in the expressions of the Southern press. Although the lour nuts that are representative of Southern feeling uro enlisted warmly m the interests ot the conservative en terprise, one or two ot them ot position and in fluence still seem to narnor a lingering uouot oi the probability of lair play lor the South in tho action ol the Convention. This is not to be won dered at in view of the endeavors ol certain North ern journals to Becure lor an insignificant taction a monopoly ot tne cons ervative movement, in the same way that the radicals usurped a monopoly of central legislation. A few narrow-minded politicians, hanging on to the shirts of radical ism, out reaay to aropinto any new organiza tion that they hope to control, have labored to convey the impression that the principle of the i oncresional test oath will be applied, to Southern delegates to the Convention, and that positive "Union" antecedents will be demanded as credentials to insure admission. It is time lor our Southern contemporaiies, if there be any of them who are still deceived by tuese misrepresentations, to study the situation more closely, and to understand tho true nature of conservative rally that is about to be made. The radicals constitute the numerical strength of the Black Republican party. They possess likewise all the elements of power that are due to thorough organization under the strict disci pline of the acknowledged leaders ot the tac tion. The Republicans who call themselves conservative have, as a party, no force, no vi tality whatever, aud, as individuals, no more influence than bitch as they may exercise by the expression ol popular doctrines, or by assisting in forwarding a popular movement. They were not able to make a respectable show of resist ance, Mn Congress, to the dictation of the Radi cal leaders. If they choose to float upon , the conservative current, they can do so; but as to guiding it, they have even less capacity than ihey had to control the radical programme. Let them come, and welcome, to swell the tide that flows spontaneously from th.it great source of political supremacy, the heart of the people; bnt they come as tributaries, and whether they come or not, the stream will roll on in its legiti niate channel. . With the evidence of the weakness ot,the con servative Republicans upon the Congressional record, and peine outside of the Coneressloual arena, an oupan.zation in embryo, untried, un disciplined, that has never tested its hirentrth at the ballot-box, it is simply impossiole tor them to control a great popular uprising. What would the Convention amount io in their hands 1 Its voice would b, in the political battle, as letble as a schoolboy 'b squib. amid the roar of artillery. The strength of the conservative movement lies in its promise of cleansintr the political atmosphere of the taint of civil strife that still lingers in it. Its purpose is the reha bilitation ot tbo Soulb. und we surely shall net beein the work bv ostracizing the representa tive meu of the South. If we look forward to national union, wo shall not, commence by ap pealing lo the bicter memories ol domestic fon tiict. Tho South may rest assured that the Democracy of the North will not consent ta the proscription of any accredited delegate, North ern or Southern, who is ready to accept, the principles enunciated in ihe call lor the Con vention. The endorsement of those principles is the only test that will be required, aud if a factious minority should attempt to itnoos-. any other, they will simply make an exhibition of their own weakness.
