Johnson's Repudiation ot Lincoln. from the Tribune. " 1 The strongest point which Mr. J ohnson could Jnake the point which he has luborcd most to jnake la, that in his attempt to force Congress to admit Southern leprescntatlves, he If" true to the policy of Abraham Lincoln. Never was a Claim more basoless. Yet In all his speeches Jtfr. Johnson has repeated It, and, of late, with an irritation which betrays a sense of weak ness. Ileverdy Johnson, in his address to the President, Ingeniously attempts to gain from tho love of the people for Mr. Lincoln's popularity for hU successor, and assures Mr. Johnson, that "Ik'Iiir upon tho same ticket with that much lamented public servant, whose foul assassina tion touched the heart of the civilized world with grief and horror, you would ha to been false to obvious duty if you had not endeavored to carry out the same policy." All the Copper iipad papers which furiously denounced Mr. Lin coln's policy while he lived, now praise Mr. Johnson for adopting it. Thus we may see how highly the mantle of Elijah is valued but Mr. Johnson has a cloak of bis own. and tho true gar ment has fallen upon Congress. Upon tne ques tion of his fulfilment ot the purposes of Mr. Lincoln's administration, the Union party raiht taiely appeal to the people, and stand or fall by that alone. It would be easier to deOne what is not than what is the peculiar policy which Mr. Joanson and Mr. Seward have invented and submitted to the South for adoption; yet there are a few plain principles which underlie it. It is based upon tne idea that no legislation of Congress is required to restore the Rebel States tlielr for feited privileges; It assumes that Congress can demand of them no conditions whatever, but is tiound to admit them on demand to its halls. A State, on this theory, may tight for years Bgairwt the Union, and, throwing down its arms, at once take part in the government. Or, If there be any preparation ot measures or time re- 3uirea, the President may alone determine the uranon of the penance and the nature of the purgatives. His policy, in short, has for its central idea the unlimited etlicaoy of a Presi dential amnesty: those whom he has pardoned Other men have no right to question. This Us Mr. Johnson's policy. That of Mr. Iiincoln is absolutely antipodal. It is well known, and the proof is now in the possession of thn Government, that Mr. Lincoln, near the close ot the war, declared that he had no power whatever over the reconstruction of the Union that belonged to Congress. His messages to Congress repeat it. His message of December, 1864, .was specially intended to assure the Bouthern people of the kindness they would receive upon their submission; yet he explicitly limited the extent ot the mercy they could re ceive from him.- ''Some certain and other pos sible questions are, and would be, beyond the Executive power to adjustr as, for instance, tho admission of members of Congress, and what ever might require the appropriation of money. The Executive power itself would be greatly di minished by the cessation of actual war. Par dons and remissions of forfeitures, nowver, would Still be 'Within Executive control." This was well understood North and South. No lan guage could be plainer than this, which, in Premising Executive clemency, limited it to in dividuals, and expressly disclaimed the power extend it so far as to restore States to thoir old relations. Jefferson Davis, in his message of March,-1866, faithfully repeated those opi nions. " It will further be remembered that Mr. Lincoln declared that the only terms on which hostilities could cease were those stated in bis message of December last, in which we were informed that, in the event of our penitent sub mission, he would temper justice with mercy, nd that the question whether we would be governed as dependent territories, or permitted to have a representation in their Congress, was one in which he could promise nothing, but which would be decided by their Congress, after Our submission hud been accepted." It is useless to say more. When It Is proved Ik at Mr. Lincoln distinctly declared that the d mission of representatives from the Rebel (states was for Congress solely to decide, it is the extreme of eflrontery to claim that his policy is carried out by Mr. Johnson, who affirms that Congress is without any jurisdiction in tne aiatter. - : Tears tor the Million. P'rom the Tribune. The country, like a tender mother, will bear a great deal of congratulation over the fact that a professional sympathizer bo shrewd as Mr. Beverdy Johnson has helped his presidential xamesake to a relief of his overcharged sensi bilities.'" There can be no mistake about It; Teal tears have been shed of late, copious and voluminous sorrow, a sentimental rain ot so general a character that we have serious fears that the cotton crops will be spoiled by late floods along the track of the returning members Of the Philadelphia Convention. The President, like Moses, hod only to tap the rock of that Convention, and the waters gushed tor.h to order, "If you could have seen, Bir," said Mr. everdy Johnson, with his grand est Jury pathos, "the men f Massachu BCtts and South Carolina coming into the Convention on the first day of its meeting, hand in hand, amid the rapturous applause of the whole body, awakened by heartfelt gratifica tion at the event, filling the eyes of thousands With tears of joy, which they neither could nor desired to Buppress, you would have-felt that tho time had arrived," etc. The President did feel that the time had arrived, and was equal to the emergency. "When," replied Mr. Andrew Johnson, "the despatches informed me that in that vast hody pf men, distinguished for intel lect and wisdom, every eye was suffused with tears on beholding the scene, 1 could not finish reading the despatch to one associated with me In the -office, for my own feelings overcame me.n Thereupon Mr. Johnson concluded the atl'octing scene with the practical remark that Providence had something t do in the matter. Here it is we beg to differ with the President. find to assert the water-power of the official sceptre of Moses. But no ordinary occasion . could have produced that uncommon overHow. The Preslleut has turned his eyes towards the radicals in Congress; has berated Messrs. Sum ner, Phillips, and Stevens; has denounced a malignant and subsidized press: has been mor tified by Parson Brownlow. and upbraided by his bosom friend, the Rev. General Granville Moody; has seen Mr. Jefferson DhvIs languish' lug in jail: Mr. Montgomery Blair making speeches tor him; and the well-tntentloned Mr. .nayuioiia writing nim down Dut has never Buea a tear. Those Conventional tears were unconventional; tears as the President might remark "Tears, idle tear ; 1 know not whenos they come: Tears from the depths of some divine despair" we will not mention the Freedmen's Bureau or the murders or the poor Unionists at New Orleans. They would have been worth tho expiation of a President's tears, respr nslve to euch an impenitent and Joyful sun-shower as occurred at the Wigwam. We beg the members froai Louisiana to dry their eyes. If earth-Are cleave v" The upheaved land and bnrr th folk, The Southern crocodile would grieve " Important Proclamation or the President All the States It est o red , ty Executive Authority- , , ; JYom he Herald. . , The highly important proclamation ot the President, which we published yesterday,' de claring that all the States in which rebellion Jatelf existed are lully restored to, Vpeace, order, tranquillity, and civil authority." will be read with-profound -interest throughout the' length and breadth of the land. Texas, the last State that remslned unrestored In Its civil func tions, and which has been the lone star in this respcot tor some time, is now restored to her riant and privileges in the Union with all the other Slates. The work- is now complete as tar as Executive authority goes and the condition j of the States Is concerned. The proclamation oi the President has the effect of law, and all are bound to respect it a such. As the Executive power of the republic he is the proper authority to judge of the condition of the country,- It t the duty of Congress Itself to accept and act . upon his official declaration. ' r . We have been anticipating such a proclama tion as this, knowing that civil authority bad been restored to all the other Southern States except Texas, and being assured that Tesaa would soon be in a condition to enjoy the same privilege; but now the official de claration is made that all are restored, every patriotic citizen must feel highly gratiflod. Radical agitators have been telling the people that the war is not over, and that the South whs still in a state of insurrection; but the Pre sident solemnly proclaims "that the said insur rection is at an end, and that peace, order, tranquility, and civil authority now exist In and throughout the whole ol the United States of America." The President in this important document recapitulates the several acts of Congress and of the Executive to suppress the insurrection and to restore civil authority, and he fchowi clearly that no branch of the Government ever entertained the thought that the States could be destroyed or their rights abridged whenever the insurrection 6hould be put down. We now see how wisely and carefully Mr. Johnson has acted in reorganizing the Southern States, and in bringing peace and order out of the terrible chaos in which the Rebellion left the eountry. The people may well rejoice at the glorious end we have at last reached, aud honor the man who has conducted us to that end . through most extraordinary difficulties. All that remains to be done now Is the resto ration of tho Bouthern States to representation in Congress. To exclude them from this is a violation of the Constitution, and Congress, in excluding them, is guilty of a dangerous usur pation. Each house is the judge of the qualifi cations of the individuals claiming seats; that is, to judge whether they have been properly elected and whether there is auy constitutional objection to them personally. But this power only applies to the individual representative, was never bo fore applied in any other way, and the founders of theGovernmentcertainly never contemplated the exercise of it in excluding States from repre sentation. Thj joint action of the two houses in r pi'u.-ing to admit the States to be represented in Congress is clearly . unconstitutional and revolutionary. The States in which rebellion existed were represented in part during actual hostilities, and, could elections have been fairly held in portions of those States, they would have been represented throughout tha war. The exclusion oi them from Coueress when the war censed wos an afterthought ot radical politicians, lor political ends. We have good reason to believe, however. Rooking at tiie signs of tho times, that the radicals will not be able tj keep the Southern representatives from Congress much longer. Publ'c opinion will demand their admission. With this proclamation of tho President the people will require an immediate and full restoration of the South in Coures, as in all the other rights now accorded to them as citizens oi the United States. , . f Political Principles-The Baltimore and Philadelphia IMattoims. From the Times, ' ' It is just now' the cue of the leaders of the revolutionary radical movement, to claim the authority of the Union patty for their princi pies and measures. Every one who hesitates to follow in their footsteps is denounced as a renegade and traitor to the Union party. The hypocrisy and unprincipled recklessness of this pretext are apparent. None of Hthe radical leaders enlisted in this crusade ever were lead ers of the Union parry, and the doctrines they now put forward as Union doctrines find no support in any of the authorized declarations of principle put forth by the Convention of the Union party. .., . The Baltimore platform is the latest authori tative declaration of the principles held and the policy espoused by the Union party which car ried the country through the war. It was adopted by the unanimous vote of the delegates from every loyal State and Territory in 18G4, while tfee war against the Rebellion was still raging, and was the basis upon which President Lincoln ana Andrew jonnson were nominated and elected. It was accepted by both these great men, as the platform on which their ad ministration would be based in case of their election, and was regarded tnroughout the Union, by men ot all parties, as the true basis and platlorm of the Union party. And we now astert, aud challenge contradiction, that there is not a single principle touching national atliiirs asserted in it, which is not reaffirmed by the Philadelphia platform; nor is there a single principle contained in the latter which is not embraced or implied in the former. The Philadelphia platform is identical, ' in every principle and position, with the Baltimore platform; and in proof of this position we re print the provisions of the two, side by side: tub constitution avo The Philadelphia Decla- TBI UNION The Bal'.imore Platform, 18C4.

The Philadelphia declaration is thus seen to be the reaffirmation and adoption, by all the States, Including those lately In rebellion, of the principle which In 1804 were declared by the loyal Kates to be essential, and which they were resolved to attain by prosecution of the war. In 1K64 tne Union party, declared that the war should be waged until the supreme authority of the Constitution was re-established, until tho integrity of the Union was restored, and all its Stales and all its people accepted that result. In the Philadelphia declaration the South joins the North in declaring that the authority of the Constitution hns been restored, and is again supreme; that the Union -Is perfect .and per petualno State or States having any right to secede. So far as this fundamental principle is concerned, therefore, the principles of the two nre identical. Next comes the subject of , . j SLAVBBT. I ' .

The Colored People of Texas. fVom the ATi Orleami Tribune. 1 ' The sad events that lately visited us, and from which we are! now recovering under the powerful Influence of Northern Indignation, should not deter us from looking into the con dition of our colored brethren in the neighbor ing States. We have been for somo time receiv ing from Texas Information of a discouraging character. ' It is said that "the Rebels refuse to let the colored people have their fields next year," that "the freedmea are crushed and abused," that "they have nothing to expect but persecution, poverty, destruction, conflagration, robbery, famine, and untimely death." Still they are "a good stock of men, brave, progress ing, and anxious to come forward and upward;" they are "industrious, thrifty, and some of them wealthy colored people." ,..-. From the condition of the laborers in some of the parishes of our State, and from our persona! acquaintance with the unscrupulous and pre judiced planters of Texas, we can lairlyjudse the intolerable sufferings under which labor tne colored population of that neighboring State. Still we do not despair. Far from it; we be lieve the time has come when the nation will be awakened, throusrn the verv excesses of the old pro-slavery men, to the urgency of protecting i not peculiar to Texas. The same bitterness, the 8arac,& ling against the colored people, the same injustice to them, exist, more or less, through all the Southern States. The Civil Rights bill was contemplated by Coneress as a means ot establishing universal justice and securing their rights to all citizens. The next step will bo to practically enforce that bill. We have seen in Louisiana how tbe United States Commissioner exercised his autho rity in the remotest parishes, through tha inter ference of the' military authorities. We nave seen him bringing Into Court planters, citizens, justices of the pence, and other masristrates, who bad violated The rights ot the colored citi zens. We have been how the would-be assassins ot our friend Ruby were brought, by a military guard, from a distant parish, to a bar of the United States Commissioner at New Orleans. And although many outrages and many injus tices go nnpunished, still the work of redress has oegHn, and these efforts must impart to our brethren some confidence for tho future. We know that Texas is a large State, where it will beat nil times nearly impossible tor the military authorities to coutrol all the counties. But the military is not present in all tbe pa rkhes of Louisiana, or in all tbe counties of South Carolina, Mississippi, and other Southern States. It hue been found difficult everywhere to enforce the law, with tho mocDS now at the dippoPttl of the Government; and that very difficulty will bring with it a remedy to our sufferings. .. . .'.

I There is thus an absolute identity of senti ment and principle between the Baltimore Plat form of tne Union party In 1861, and that adopted at Philadelphia last week. We chal lenge any man to point out any deviation from tho former on the part of the Philadelphia Con vention. Tbe Baltimore platform declared it to be th object and purpose of the war to re-establish the liiwsrity of thn Union and thesupreme authority ot the Constitution; and in the Phila delphia Convention delegates from every State and Territory of tbe Union, Morthern and Southern alike, unite in the declaration that this hus been done, and they accept all the legi timate results and consequences thereof. What the Philadelphia Convention has accom plished, therefore, has been to nationalize the principles and purposes of the Union party as declared ot Baltimore in 18U4. If others have added to fhone pnnciplcs, they have done so on their own responsibility. They cannot hold auy Union man bound by their acts in bo doing. The Union party represented in the Baltimore, Convemlen was represented in Philadelphia, with the additional advantages of findine their principles triumphant, and accepted alike by the crest mass of the patriotic Democrats in the INorth and the great body of the people in the Southern Status. - If they cannot, thus fortified by success and the eeneral acquiescence of the American people, maintain their principles and secure their recognition In the practical admi nistration of affairs, we shall have reached a new era In American politics. ! i i " ' SciKNTiFic ExrxoKAHoN of Abkenia.

Already, in the State of Missouri, a loyal militia has been oraanized under the Stale laws; none but loyal men are allowed to belong to thnt organization. Since that militia has been set on loot, protection has been extended to all loyal citizens, iirespactive of color; outrages in the country have. become nearly unknown; and sccuiity has returned to the State. , The recent riots of Memphis and Wew Orleans will demonstrate the necess-'uyfor the loyal men of setting up some means of seli'-proiection. Should tbe State Legislatures continue to prove themstlves disloyal, then Congress will un doubiedly. takc the mantr in hand, and pass the bill ol Senator Wilson, or any other bill calcu lated to attain a similar object. A loyal militia will be organized, irrespective ot color; and Kebels and cud men will m that way be checked and overpowered. The laws mnst'be enforced; it they were not, it would be a dishonor for tho United States Government. No standing army, even ten times more numerous than that which eniHt now, is able to enforce tho laws in nil purls of'the Pouthern States; therefore, tho arming of the loyal men bos become a matter of necessity. And wbo are the loval meu of the South? They are mostly the colored citizens. So we regard that militia organization as an unavoidable result, which will force itself upon the country. It maybe delayed some mouths longer. But it has come, as a condition of the nation's honor, as well its the burling of two hundred thousand black men on the buttle-ueld was a necessity of the nation's life. We leel, therefore, that tho present sufferings of our Texas brethren will be relieved. Mean while, prudence, forbearance, sacrifice, for the sake of patriotism, may be commended. The actual means of living must make the great ob ject of the colored men at the present time. According to a law of Congress, all thote who wish to settle upon eighty acres of land can do so in five of tbe Southern States. Louisiana and Arkansas will otter particular inducements to our Texas brethren. A special agent of the Freedmen's Bureau in New Orleans, und one in Uttle Rock, have charge of this matter. Every loyal citizen over twenty one years of age or, if youneer, every head of a family and very discharged Union soldier has a right to enter (belore the 31st of December next) these eighty acred, with paying five dollars to the Bureau. Alter live years he will receive the title to the lund, nnd become the owner of it, by paying live dollars more. Thore are in the parish ot Calcasieu, near the dividing line between Louisiana and Texas, vast tracts of public lands which could be entered in that way. A large number ot colored Loulsianians huve already applied for entries there, and villages with tiuly loyal inhabitants will un doubtedly spriner up in a short time. The settlement of the colored men on land of their own is one of the best plans that can bo devised for them. But, we repeat, our confidence in the wisdom and humanity of Congress is un bounded. Protection will finally be extended to all by the organization of a loyal militiu. Tbe very necessities of the political situation will bring forth such a result. Meanwhile, let our brethren have energy, thrift, industry. And let them look for settlement where they can obtain land, either in their State or in the neigh boring ones.
