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

This was hoped, expected, believed. But, so
far, these hopes have been wholly disappointed.

designed, to oostruct and' delay the wo.-k and

THE DAILY , EVENING' TEIJiuKAril. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
Slavery, whfi them an rlcmont of wealth and

n such caws. 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

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.
