The JohiKiin Soldier a.
From the Tribune.
Qpncrnl8 Cuntcr, Dix, etc., urge their fellow
oldiers in the lute civil war to uuito with thetn
in holding a Convention at Cleveland Intended
lo pave the way tr a Rebel -Coppcrueud triumph
In or approaching pleetiona. Contrary to the
most notorious facts, they assure those soldiers
that the late Rebels have in good faith acknow
ledged that they were wrong in forcibly resist
ing and ecekina to pub vert the authority of tho
Union in the 8outh, when nearly every promi
nent journal in the South emphatically denies
and scouts that assumption. Assuming, In
defiance ot lacta as notorious as the sun, that
toe late Rebels are now all loyal, aud well.iiis
poscd towards Unionists, Dix & Co. plead their
Cause as follows:
. "But, though individual? may be tried, con
victed, ami puuibhed, communities cauuot; nor
can the States and their people, Without a
plain violation of the Constitution bo denied
ihoriehtot representation, through men pur
poually qualiued, in the council 01 tho nation.
The intention ot Coniirest. -seoius to be to
deprive them of reprisentation juft so long as
suits the iurpsoe! ot the radical party. Alttny
assert thai it will concede the rurut whenever
the Constitutional amendment Khali have been
adopted and euch proscribed State bhall htve
ratified it. But is quite certain that the amend
ment will not be ratified by thrue-turttis ot
the Stales, and theretore that it will not be
adopted. Some, perhaps nwuy, of the iSonh
ern Htats will reject it ; aud we caunot
expect its Jeaal s.rittittcarion by any of the
lately insurrectionary Mates. If there were
do other reason why the Southern States should
Tejcct it, it is enough thiit ii proposes to dis
franchise nearly all the men in the South who
have influence over the masses ot the people.
If none were to be disiranehised except otlicers
of the Rebel anny, we utili could not expect the
South to adopt it; tor a laree majority ol nieu in
the lately insurrectionary States, through com
pulsion or ch uce, served "in tho Rebel army, and
their votes alone would overwhelmingly defeat
It.' Would Lniou soldiers, to recover political
privileges, disfranchise their leaders whom they
love aud revere tor their heroic virtues ? How,
then, can we expect Southern soldiers to dis
franchise and degrade their old commanders?
As there la no probability that the amendment
will be rutiuVd bv three-fourths of the Sta es,
the plan ot i-pstiiratioa which Congress appears
to have determined on is at best impracticable."
That is to say: The plan of reconstruction
prescribed by ' ongress is impracticable, because
the Rebel will not a-sent to it. And why will
they not ? Because "it proposes to dislrauchiso
nearly all the men in the South who have in
fluence over the masses of the people." No.it
docs not. It proposes that certain of the more
conspicuous and culpuble Rebels shall be ex
cluded ironi Federal oflice until Congress shall
see tit to remove the proscription. Is not that
quite another thing ?
But we take Generals Dix. Custer & Co. on
their own cround. They ask our soldiers to put
theitselves in the place ot the Kebeis against
whom they loucht. and say whether they would
vote to disirauehise their leaders and comrades
inarms. Now.it is notorious that some two
liunared thousand blacks loueht against the
Rebellion louebt bravely and well; so that
many thousands of them sealed with their lite
blood their devotion to the Union. Nearly all
the survivors, it is perfectly notorious," are
doomed to perpetual disfranchisement, aud to
he lett without any political rights whatever, if
the Johnson policy of restoration is successful.
You say, gentlemen, that tho Rebel soldiers
cannot be expected to sustuin or acquiesce in a
policy of reconstruction that divests their com
rades of political power. Are you not, then, by
your own contes'ion, base and treacherous
hounds, iD that you, being triumphaut, are
willing to do by your comrades in the late strug
gle what yon insist that the Rebels, though de
ieated, must scorn to do by theirs ?
Maximilian's Blockade President .Jolm
Bon Taking Hold of Our Foreign
A flairs.
From the Herald.
President Johnson quickly followed up his
proclamation of the 17th inst., declaring Maxi
milian's blockade null and void, by decided
action.; Two war vessels have been ordered to
be stationed at the mouth of the Rio Grande,
and tho commander of tho Pacific squadron has
received orders to send two men-ol-war to Ma
zatlan and Guajmas, to protect the interests of
our citizens and country. We think we see the
hand of the President in all this, and that the
timid, temporising policy of Mr. Seward in our
foreign affairs is now to give place to a mora
decisive, vieorou. and elevated policy. The
dmnitv of this ereat renublic. as well as our in
terms-, required such a change. We have lost
much by a weak, time-serving course. The
natiouul ting has been lowered in compli
mentary deference to foreign nations, when
it oiigbt to have been thrown boldly to the
breeze. Had this been done we should have
heeu saved iroui much trouble, and iroui those
comDlicntions vtim European powers which
erew out ot the war. and are not yet adjusted.
There is no necessity to go to war to muintain
the dignity of the republic; there need be no
fear ot war: our uositiuQ is too impregnable and
we are too powerful ior any nation to attempt a
war with us except unacr sucu extreme provo
cation as we are not likely to offer. We can
atlordto be maananinious, a-", indeed, we have
beet) in our re'ations with other nations, but tho
surest way to avoid difficulties is to firmly niaiu-
r. . . i : L . 11... .........
turn me oiguiiy ana riguisui iue rouuuy umuiu
all the world. Taking this view of the matter,
we are happy to know that the President has
commenced a new and determined course in
our loreinn policy. He has proved himsell to
be an able statesman in the management of our
domestic ' affairs, in bringing the country
through uuparalleled ditlicuities to the point of
restoration, harmony, and good feeling, aud
Dow he eives us reason to believe that ho will
place the republic in that high position among
the first powers oi ine woriu to wmcu u i en
titled. The proclamation of the President, asserting
that the declaratio n of blockade made by one
f the belligerents in Mexico, "namely, the
Prince Maximilian," will be disallowed by the
United States, and that it is null and void, will
undoubtedly create a sensation both in Mexico
and France; but when it becomes known that
our war ves-eU have been ordered boto to tho
mouth of the Rio Grande and the ports on the
Pacific, there will be, weiratgine, a very lively
commotion in both countries. It should be
observed that the President's dicallowing the
blockade is put not only on the ground of there
being uo competent military or naval force to
gupport the declaration of blockade, but also on
account ot treaties existing between the United
States aud Mexico. This we regard as a signifi
cant clause, especially ilfien taken in connec
tion with the fact that both this country and
Mexico have a common riutat to tb navigation
and trade ot the Rio Gran le, ana that we have
never recognized but one legitimate 'ovprn
aent in Mexico- that of the Republic. It stems
to vb, alter carefully examining the teuor ot
the President's laneuaee, that the position ot
"the Prince Maximilian" in Mexico is regarded
Tiv our Uovernment a Utile eiue man mat of a
filibuster, just as Kinney and Walker were re
crnrrlnd 19 UllhiiHLpra in Nicaragua.
The consequence of this action on the part of
tho President may be very disastrous, aud that
before lonp, to "the Prince Maximiliao," and
verv humilialina to the EmDeror Napoleon
jteyoud all question it U a very ticklish state of
aCatra. A trilling accident, like a single spark
of tire, may cause a conflagration. Our army
and tavy, to a man, are bitterly hostile to the
French and Maximilian's usuipation in Mexico.
Ceueral Grant would eladly have taken an army
ot twenty or thirty tbousaud men at the close
of our war to drive the French out if the Presi
de nt had Riven him the authority. He was
PMlstied that that number ol men would bo
sufficient, with the Mexicans themselves.
General Pherit.an, who is in command
now on the border of Mexico, entertains
much tho same leeling and opinion. It is
highly probable these distinguished soldier
have been consulted by the President, and have
exercised an influence over his action. We
have said that a trilling accident oa tho border
may ciiusp serious consequences. Tho actual
state ot things Justifies this remark, and then
we have history to remind us of the danger.
The war between Mexico and this country was
kindled Into a flame by a collision on that very
Rio G'niide border between our forces which
were sent there to protect Texas and the Mexi
can lores near our?. The first blows between
General Zachary Taylor and Goneral Ampmlia,
if we mistake not, aropo in just such an acci
dental collision as may occur on the same
.round ntrain.
Should such a stato of things arine while h
French for.,cs are in Mexico tho consequences
liucht be BPiiotis, not to us po much, but to the
Emperor Napoleon. As to Maximilian person
ally and his so-called Government, they would
be a small obsraele in the difliculty. Franco
and French honor might be Involved. We do
not think Napoleon would go to war with this
country under any but the most aggravation
circumstances, because his vast armies would
be powerless, and he t,ould not make the least
impression upon the United States, even with
his navy. The wealth, trade, and forces of
Fiance would be swallowed up in a mosi bone
less war. Such a war would be very uupopuiar
in France, and the Kmpcror would bring ruin
upon himself and bis dyna-ty. He is probably
aware of this. No, we have no tear of war
with France about Mexico. Still we want no
difficulty. In view, therefore, of the peril aris
ing from the necessary atJtude ot our Govern
ment with regard to Mexico, it is to be hoped
That Napoleon will not only take away the so
cullfd Emperor Maximilian, but will withdraw
the French troops also at onco aud forever.
This will secure and perpetuate the friendship
ot tho United States. In any other course there
is dnnger.
The Republican Party and the Adiuls
Hlon of tilt South.
From the Times.
Those of our Republican contemporaries who
realize the importance of last week's proeeed-
nps at Philadelphia, aie exercising their inge
nuity upon plans for frustrating the movement
which was there inaugurated. Their djvices
are many and their candor is excessive. One,
with rare simplicity, appeals to the South to
Identify itself forthwith with the Republican
party, submitting graciously to the terms dic
tated by Congress, and in return leceivingthe
favors which that body may be enable! to dis
pense. But this suggestion docs not meet the
peculiarities of the case; for the North happens
to be the specie w ithtn which the movement is
intended to operate. The South gives its sym-
pa'hien, but the real work tho decisive battle
must be disposed of here in the North, with
conservative Republicans and Democrats on the
one side, and disunion radical Republicans on
the other.
Auother journal has invented a much more
plausible method ot saving the Congressional
party lrom the deieat that awaits tneui. "tlow
to spiko the Philadelphia suns" is the problem
to which the Sprinafield Republican applies
itself, and the solution it propounds is war
ranted to ue ciucacious. we may condense it
into a sentence. To "spike tho Philadelobia
guus" and take the wind out ot the sails of the
national Union rtovement, let the Republican
majority in Congress resolve to admit the
Southern members next session, subject only to
the test required by law. The reasoning of the
hiyublican in support of this prescription tor
averting disastci in tho comma: campaign
merits notice, because of the admissions on
which it is predicated. These are the essential
points:
"All that the President's fiiends propose to
do, at present, is to operate tor th election of
niembersof Congress, who wi.l vote for tho ad
mission of loyal Southern members, and to do
this irrespective of party Pncs, voting for Re
publicans or Democrats who will do this one
thing, whatever may be their views on other
questions. It is not, therelore, a parry contest,
and there is no need to make it so, Nor is there
any necessity that the Republicans, or their
candidates, should accept the issue made up tor
them. It has not been made in Congress. Not
a lew of the most staunch Republicans in both
Houses have desired ihe prompt admission of
Southern members whocould take the test oath,
and would have voted tor it at any time during
the last session if tho matter could have been
brought forward. But the Joint Committee,
cunningly devised lor that very purpose, pre
vented action till near the close ot the session,
and then no opportunity was given to act except
upon the cases of the Tennessee members. If a
vote could have been reached, unembarrassed
with other matters, thTO were several times
duriiig the session when both Houses would
undoubtedly have received all the loyal South
ern members who offered themselves. Skdiul
tactics on the part of certain leaders prevented
a trial ot strength on the main question, but the
rnul Qtarn Al iii rnrp 1 lnudp fwulont. hv tho lnrt.
that they dared not press to a vote tho bill fixing
conditions ot representation ior tne southern
Stales. Thev knew that they could not get a
majority of the Republican members to tie then
own hands lor the tuture by any such action.
It must be conceded that the argument
made by the Philadelphia Convention for tho
rieht ot the 6outhem States to representation
is a very fttrong one. Constitutionally it is
impregnable. But, nevertheless, the issue
is not in faet as broad and distinct
as the President's supporteis assume, it
is a question of time and circumstance,
rather than ot constitutional right, as it now
stmids. If the Southern States had presented
themselves beloro Coneress on the dav atier
Lee's surrender, and demanded the admission
of their Senators and Representatives as a con
stitutional right, it would have been considered
indecent haste. It was evi lently the right and
duty of Congress to wait till the South was in a
condition to be represented, aud ot this it had
tho riaht to ludpe, as well as of tho fact of the
regular election and the lo.vtity ot ino memDers
offering themselves. Congress has taken time
for that purpose, wnetuer too mucn or not is a
manor ot opinion. But it has not takon any
position requiring tne inaennue exclusion oi
the South, or fixing terms ot admission, or pre
cluding their admission at ine next session, or
at auv time when circumstances are tound to
Justify it. This view ot the case, and it Is the
true one, shows how easily the Philadelphia
gun9 may bo spiked, aud how completely the
Republicans 'command tne situation.- 11 win
bo a gratuitous tolly vr they accept a narrower
plattorm than they have made for themselves."
Now, inasmuch as tho Tribune has not
yet calleJ the Springfield JH'puuoan a
"copperueau ncui," we iuko n manuo einw
nierts we have quoted carry the stamp ot ortho
dox Republicanism. And they will bear resapi
tulation. It is admitted, in the first place, that
the position assumed by the Philadelphia con
vention in regard to the right of tho Sauthorn
States to represent ation is constitutionally im
pregnable. It Is alleged, in the next plaoe, that
utaiiiirh nenutilicaus were la-t session nreoared
fo sanction tho practical acknowledgment of
the right, but were overcome by the tactics of
the Radical leaaers. it is conienuea, in rue
next place, that neither the Republican party
nni' ihn inotnritv in Congress Lave formallv
committed themselves to tne policy of exclud
ing the Houta. and that itepuoncan candidates
for Congressional honors should therefore
nhatnin irom all oledges on the sublect.
Th common-sense rendering of the view thus
presented wonld seem to be that, because the
Republican party, as a party, have not decided
furred at l'hiladjluhia.
they may spike the gum oi the CouTeutlou by
accepting the standard there ercclel for use In
the fall campaign, That is to say, let Rpubli
can candidates ward off the consequences of the
movement by adopting the policy in relation to
Southern repiesentauon w hich the authors of
the movement have made its torcmost feature.
W ell, we have ro obicction to tho recommenda
tion. It is eminently sensible. It evinces a lust
conception of the popular power of the move
ment, and of the late that awaits its antBgiri-K
Moreover, its adoption bv Republican candidates
will obviate much trouble. It they will honestly
accept the f ituation. and subscribe to tho decla
ration ot the principles of the National Union
P'ovrmenf, they wdl thenceforward be parts of
the movement, and will no longer have reason to
fear Its guns. But the non-committal trick will
not save them. If favorable lo the admission of
the South, they must sav so; thoir dcclnraMon
must nppear on the recoid; they must go before
their respective constituencies with this purpose
inscribed upon their banners. No rioduing
behind interentiiilly good intentions will serve
them in the canvass. The point is pbin, and
the avoal in reterence to it must be decisive.
Otherwise, they will bo held to bo opponents
of the right which the ltojmblioan aim its to bo
constitutionally impregnable, and tlio Phila
delphia guns will bo brought into action against
them.
There is as our contemporary in effect con
fessesno valid reason for opposition the Phila
delphia declaration of principles on the part of
Btaurch Republicans. Tho plattorm of the Na
tional Union movement aud the platform
adopted by the Republican pnrty at Baltimore
In 18C4, nre substantially identical, as we have
already proved; and therelore we do not out
rage probability when we assume that the great
body ol the honest supporters of tho Balliinoro
nominations will now no found among the ad
herents of the Philadelphia movement. No
otlnr course is open to them unless t-iey are
prepared to repudiate the principles and pledges
on whit h Mr. Lincoln was re-elected, and to
ally theniFclvcs with the radicals. How does
our Springfield contemporary proposo to escape
from the difliculty ?
There might be some hope from the next
session if the members who were most promi
nent in the cflort to force a radical policy
upon the Republican party had evinced any
change of mind or heart since their return
home. We look in vain, however, tor tokens
of repentance. Senator Trumbull, uud Speaker
Coltax, and General Schenck,and Mr. Hiella
barscr, and other notabilities, hove been
heard Ircm, and all of them oppose the admis
sion ot tho South until the radical conditions
be complied with. The men who managed
Congress last session, instead of becoming more
conciliatory, are growing more nggieisive.
Tliev are every day going further trotu tho
moderate standpoint of the Sprinsitleld licpubU
can, in.d nearer tho ultraisni of the Forneys,
the Hamilton, and other characteristic
hangers-on ot the party. The State Conventions
soon to be held will be useful b'lrometers of
party opinion. We shall see whether the same
tactics that put down conservative Republi-
principles ol the pnrty, and consign it lo tho 1
tenner mercies oi iue radicals.
We repeal, however, that, no evasion of the
issue presented bv tho Philadelphia movemeut
will now satisfy tt.e country. The old plan of
feigning moderation during a canvass and
scouting moderation after the election, cannot
be repeated with succors. It is a tavonte radi
cal manoeuvre, and worked marvellously well In
more than one instance last spring. A platform
which even opponents describe as constitu
tionally impregnable is before the peo
ple, and the candidate who does not
meet its leading requirement will have no
o'aim upon the support of National Unionists.
The guris of the Philadelphia Convention aro
too well guarded to be spiked by disunionists
in disguise.
The President' Power nf Removal.
From the World.
"It is lortunate," wtites Jamo3 Madison,
"when disputed theories cau bo decided by un
disputed facts." ThU sound aud sensible
maxim was exactly followed and applied by the
loto oi.tinoollor K, nt when Daniel Webster ap
plied to him for an opinion in regard to the
President's power oi removal from office with
out the consent of the Senate. "It is too late,''
wrote the great Chancellor, "to call the Presi
dent's power in questioti alter a declaratory act
of Congress and the acquiescence of half a cen
tury. We shouldjhurt the reputation ot our coun
try, and we nre accused already of the republi
can tendency of reducing all executive power
into the legislative and making Congress, a
national convention." These were the
woids of wisdom thirty years ago. Aro
they less wise lo-day, and in the face
of the open, undisguised efforts of the
radical majority at Washington during the last
session to luiu the reputation ot our country Oy
making Congress an absolute and despotic
national convention ?" There is not the slight
est reason lor regarding tho President's control
oi his executive uubordinates as a matter open
to question, and the audacious attempt of a
petty official at Philadelphia to defy the Chief
Magistrate should be settled at once by a squad
ot policemen. Any person pretending to exer
cise the functions of an executive officer in de
fiance oi the orders ot the Kxecutive-in-Chief, is
simply an intruder upon the office which he
occupies, and to be thrust out of doors as sum
mai'uy as he would be from the cashier's desk
ot a bank which ho should usurp, or from the
box ol a stage-coach which he should undertake
to drive after being ordered down by the lawful
proprietors.
