r, The only event that could be more disastrous
' Ike country than the continuance of the pre
.'entfeod between th 'President and Congress,
' ntd be the" corhplcte triumph of either of the
1 artl? to tt. ' T't it is Impossible to discern by
i 'What ether event the nation can be extricated
' fccm its embarrassments., The passions of the
.pponerrt are wrought to a white beat that
' fedmits o( ,no cool reflection, and renders com
't proviso Impracticable. Neither can recede, if
-M wosld, fr6m Its present position. Neither has
Any option but to advance, and it can only ad
' -ranee by the subjection of the other. Any change
'f tactic made by cither party rmiBt be for the
-adoption of still more violent measures than it
has ypt essayed.
No ordinary mode of escape from this state of
things is apparent bnt the reversal of the major
My in Conuress; and, whatever were the pios
yecte previously, the electioneering tour of the
President and Secretary of State, which even the
presence of Grant and Farragut could not
ledcem from contempt, has rendered it reason
ably certain that the iall elections, instead oi
Annulling the supremacy of trie Congressional
party, will largely strengthen it. Even in the
almost impossible event ot there being in the
ew Conciecs a majority for the Administration,
flie effect would be rather to increase the vio
lence of the existing body during the remain
tier of its term than to diminish it. In either
case, whoever has watched the course of the
erce and eager tactions thus iar, must find it
difficult to put away the apprehension that
whichever of them is worsted is capable of some
desperate expedient for sweeping the victor
from its path, and, under more or less guise of
legal and constitutional warrant, establishing
an unchecked authority of its own.
Nothing could have brought us to this critical
situation bad not the Government, at a time
"w'lien there ft h irffatcet need of able an4
temperate statesmanship, been C onflded to hands
unfit for the trust. The course of each party is
inexcusable. Each has a H orded its opponents
pretext for the extreme lengths to which they
have pushed their animosities The radicals,
honestly desirous to re-establish the Union be
yond the possibility of a renewal ot the dissen
sion which had imperilled it, exercised their
power so oflensively as to hopelessly disgust
those with whom it behooved them to keep on
terms. This faction deliberately repudiated
that moderation which the exigency of the occa
sion derr.anded. It accepted the leadership of
wen embittered by contemptuous treatment
during the years they had passed in an impotent
minority; who were not only unfitted for rule
by the intoxication always produced by sudden
exaltation to power, but who seized the oppor
tunity to retort on their now helpless oppouents
the insults they had formerly experienced irom
them. Its violent procedures elicited as violent
an opposition.
The South, indeed, had no grounds for looking
for a full and immediate restoration to all its
former rights; but it was expected both at the
North and the South that restoration would be
effected without unnecessary delay. Had the
operation been entered upon with the cheerful
ness and pood faith that would have been em
ployed under Mr. Lincoln's guidance, all exas
peration might have been avoided, and the
!Muth restored in all sincerity to its allegiance,
liut the radicals, by imposing immoderately
severe and vexatious conditions, by character
izing all their dealings by a supercilious hauteur
and exasperating assertion of power, have in
spired the disatl'ected States among whose vir
tues patieuce and forbearance never shone
with a bitter and indienant resentment, too
deep seated to be easily allayed. This line of
conduct enabled the turbulent and brutal ele
ments of the Southern community to obtain the
upper hand, and perpetrate atrocities importing
such reckless defiance of law as precludes the
possibility, with regard for the general safetv.
of their present admission to the national coun
cils.
The same characteristics marked their con
duct towards the President. Had he been a man
of dignity, firmness, and self-control, he might
have avoided a collision, and even checked their
extravagances, liut no one could have been
less qualified to meet the situation than the per
son wno tinea tne Executive cnair. A man
naturally of immoderate and hasty temper, he
. was suddenly exalted to a position for which be
had no capacity, and which dazzled him with a
certain vague sense of its dignity and grandeur.
He had, furthermore, a degree of selt-assu ranee
and weak vanity, accompanied, as is frequently
the case among ignoraut and vulgar men, by a
hopeless obstinacy, which rendered him the
certain prey of any flatterers ready to sufficiently
abase themselves before him. Such a man was
peculiarly susceptible to annoyance at having
bis schemes roughly thwarted by a Congress as
arbitrary as himself. Its attempts to force him
had the natural effect of driving him as their
pronounced enemy into the open arms of the
common enemies of them both and of the
country.
The President and his advisers, whose record
had been of a violence and extravagance hardly
inferior to that of the radicals, soon gave play
to the peculiar haired apostates always feel for
the cause they have betrayed. Blinded by his
fury, he has t vehemently espoused associations
which formerly he reviled no loss vehemently.
The conduct of his difference with the Congres
sional party has been such as to disgrace us In
the eyes ot the world. In the exctted condition
of men's minds, all regard for decency has been
dismissed. Tne partisans have vied with each
other in the foulest vituperation. We have seen
the unparalleled f pectacle of a half-drunken
President bandying epithets with the rabble,
and exhausting upon his opponents a disgust
ing repertoire of oHensive names. The press
have done their best to eo bevond him in scur
rility, and each party is resolving itself into a
coterie of blackguards,
But, beyond his utter Indelicacy, his mock
abasement, his blatant self-assertion, be has
been guilty of graver excesses the scandalous
use of the public patronage, the mirveiilance and
garbling ot official despatches, and, it is asserted,
the exclusion of obnoxious newspapers from
the mails, and the accumulation of immense
stores of arms, insufficiently guarded, ap
parently by design, in the mi'dst of a hostile
population. Where the matter can end. it Is
impossible to see. The impeachment of the
President is gravely discussed more seriously
we imagine, than is generally supposed. A a
counterblow, is canvassed the erection of a
rival Congress In his interest; and the stormy

We have no desire to be thought nlarmista
nor do we think our view too gloomy when we
rind threatenings of another outbreuk bevond
the ability of popular patriotism to subdue or
the recuperative power of the country to sur

inability to see in what manner it can be aceom

the object of universal derision and source of
constant mortification a man of such otfenstve
pureon and sppech as should exclude him Irom
the society of gentlemen, and consign him to
the low haunts frequented by his kind. The
deterioration which has brought us to this
depth ot degradation has progressed uniformly
with the growth of demagoBuism, and seems
inseparable from any system which obliges par
ties and party leaders to obey not the sentiments
of thinking, patriotic men, out. the passions of
the mob immersed in ignorance, often in vice.
No one who has studied the appearance of the
crowd which an election gathers about the polls,
or followed the means which are made use of
to influence popular sentiment, can long remain
in doubt whether the licentious freedom of
our suti rage is compatible with an enlightened
Government.
In the nature of things, it Is lolly to expect
judicious decisions of great national Issues Irom
an ignoiant, impressible populace, marched
frcm the impassioned philippics of an adroit
orator to the ballot-box. It is madness to leave
the final appeal to the judgment of a mass
mainly composed of such elements as no sane
man would repose confidence in on the simplest
every-day aflairs. The greatest difficulties, it
Is true, must attend any etlort to restrict the
(uffrage. it is hard to see clearly In what
quarters curtailment should be made, or upon
what principles the right to vote should be
awarded; but there is yearly less and less doubt
thst our national prosperity, ir not onr national
existence, can only be preserved byabandouing
a republicanism based, as every temperate ob
server must admit, upon the most Utopian mis
apprehension of human progress.
The
Republican Party Past,
Present,
ana future.
From the Timet.
The Republican party embraced In its ranks
to large a proportion of the best elements of
our American population so much of that
which Is liberal, and progressive, and freedom
loving, and national; and it bad about it such
ft DOble enthusiasm and parity of purpose, that
it seems nothing less than a public calamity for
it to fall under the control of Illiberal, narrow
minded, sectional partisans, inspired by selthh
objects and governed by maliguantfeelings. '
We remember how it sprang up in 18&6, and,
putting forth Fremont as its leader, and the
Pittsburg platform as lis basis of principles,
swept over all those parts of the country not
directly ana absolutely under the domination
of slavery, gathering hofrts of adherents from ail
parlies, and giving consistency and power to an
idea vthich, though vital to tbe existence of
American freedom, cad been lost sight of in the
practical conduct ot Government. Vveremembpr
how again, in 1860, standing upon the Chicago
platform with Lincoln for its leader, it was
borne into power by an enthusiastic people,
controlled by a fervent yet intelligent zeal to
deliver the country Irom the power of a party
which, though professing national and liberal
principles, was pursuing a sectional policy in a
spirit hostile to the continuance of fraternal
feeling and the perpetuity of the Union.
We remember how again, in 18G4, with Lin
coln again as its leader, and with the Baltimore
platform as its guiding rule, it demanded the
support of the country in the midst of war, and
how grandly the people responded to tho great
principles which it bore aloft, and, by an over
whelming majority, gave it again the control of
the Government. No Republican can ever for
get the spirit which controlled or the idea which
inspired the great body of the young party in
these three great campaigns; and if it were for
gotten, or U it be ignored, the platforms of the
party, and the principles upon which it appealed
to tbe people lor their suffrages, remain for
reference and instruction. It was the party of
political liberalum, of broad, nationnl idea-, of
magnanimity and justice, of progress and re
form and freedom the party of devotion to the
Com-titution supporting at once the union of
the States and the rights of the Statos. Upon
these principles it grew to power, and by this
sign it triumphed.
The ideas which have been foisted upon tho
Republican party of late by men who, through
adroit management, have obtained a temporary
control of it. are in direct antagonism with
those upon which it was founded, and which
have guided it during the ten years of its exist
ence. They are not the doctrines of political
liberalism, but ot tbe extremest political bigotry
and prejudice not the doctrines of a compre-
neneive nationality, dui oi an uuyieiamg sec
tionalism. Their principle is not that ot rigid
adhesion to the Constitution under all circum
stances, and adapting all political action to its
requirements, but a very loose principle of sub-
nvimilinf ilia nntii5-T ft iamnnMi a a 4
gencies or supposed necessities not the princi
ple of upholding the guaranteed rights of all the
States in the Union of States, but a convenient
principle of denying both the existence and the
rights of States, as the necessities of party may
require, xnese scu-appointea teaaers wouia
transiorm the spirit as well as overthrow the
established platforms of the Republican party,
and, instead of magnanimity and fraternity, '
would inspire it with feelings of malice and
revenge, and lead it to destruction by pandering
to those passions which it is the duty of good
men to repress.
But we do not believe that such ideas and
leaders can continue to control a party with
Mich elements as compose the Republican party.
We do not believe it has been really represented
at all by the policy of the radical leaders. We
neiieve that the policy ot exclusion ana nairea
and sectionalism which Stevens and Butler have
been aad ttill are trying to thrust upon it, will
be disavowed and repudiated long before this
policy con ripen into the action which they de
mand. We believe that the original principles
of iis existence are too deeply implanted in its
being to be rooted-out or crushed down by any
such means as these violent agitators have
adopted; and perhups in the very hour
of their apparent triumph they will dis
cover that their plans have failed, and that
their game is lost. We think there are
signs enough now, notwithstanding the
elections in New England, that the popular
mind is becoming thoroughly weary of the wild
and dangerous schemes ot tnose men weary
with politicians who keep the Union unrestored,
States unrepresented, citizens disfranchised.
We believe that, on this subject, the popular
demands upon Congress next winter will he
irresistible; and we say this without regard to
party triumphs in tho elections of the next two
months, uongvess win men nave an opportu
nity, iu its dealings with the South, to supple
ment and rectify its past action in arcordance
with justice and the Constitution; and the Ke-
mihhran nartv. raising atrain the old standards.
and showing taelf equal to the now demands of
tho new times, will Dave an oppoitunity or con
solidating the power which the lolly of some of
us jeauers nas unpenned.
Grand Smash at Cleveland.
From the tribune.
Tho Cleveland Convention signalized its first
day's proceedings by quietly kicking over all
the elaborate arrangements made by Generals
Steed man, CuBter, Kstc) McCook, and company,
for appending it as a bob to the draggled tail of
President Johnson's kite. This was quietly but
most eflcctually accomnluhed bv the grand
strategy of the New York delegation in pushing
aiaior-ueuerai uoraon Granger tor permanent
chairman. The "Andy Johnson nronramma"
was to nave tho fossilized General John B. Wool
ior temporary cuairman, with General Steedman
as his permanent successor; but the New York
soldiers aicneu aeainst this, and seenred Gene
ral Granger's election bv a scant majority of one

of or.e from ench Stale. Substantially, this has
chRrgnf thtf gathering from art "Andy" to an
'anil" Johnson' machine the managers being
in favor Ot "prompt reconstruction," tc.r but
very cnrelul to disconnect their political future
from the personal fortunes of the gentleman
who has left thut celebiated "Constitution ana
the flaa with its thirty-six stars'' at every rail
road depot from here to Sf. Louis, and back
again. Republics are Indeed ungrateful 1
What They All Mean.
from the Tribune.
' The Constitution o it is, the Union as it teas,
and the niggers as thty iwtp," was a potent and
popular Copperhead war' cry throughout tbe
dark days of the Rebellion. Governor He ward
having assumed the role of conservative"
directly after Mr. Lincoln's first election, made
haste to despatch to Minister Dayton at Paris
the utterly gratuitous and wholly unauthorized
assurance that the status of no single human
being, whether bond or tree, would be changed
by the result of the war. He wrote the French
Minister in 18C3 that the Rebels might resume
at pleasure the seats in Congress they had
wantonly abandoned though the law expressly
forbade it. Vallandtgham ACo. tried repeatedly
to pledge Congress to this proposition, but un
nuccesBiully. The freeing and arming of slaves
in defense of the Union was resisted quite as
furiously as their enfranchisement now is, being
represented by Copperheads as a death blow to
all hope of restoring the Union. And, though
driven from portion alter position, they are
still fighting on that line, so far as they have
been able to hold It.
Gen. Thomas Ewing, Jr., at the Cleveland
Convention on Monday, said:
"Tbey owed allegiance rather to the Constitu
tion than to philanthropic tiejrics, however right.
To save the Constitution they were ready to
strike bands with the Democratic party, and
labor with it so long as It remauied true to the
Union. We may look in vain for the South to
vote to degrade 200,000 of their ablest men, or
to surrender one-fourth of their representatives
as a rcnaltyforrefuBingsuHragetoihenegroes."
That is to say : The Rebels will not let (he
blacks vote, but insist on voting lor them,
tarn bo's right to vote is an absurdity; but Le
gree's right to cast two votes one for himself
and another for Sambo will never bo waived,
even though Legree should be kept out of 'Con
gress till he consents to waive it. Isn't Legree
an oppressed, persecuted soul if be Isn't allowed
to come back Irom his little experiment of re
bellion with two votes to our one?
The Times thus exults over the Hoffman turn
out of Monday evening :
"Tbe new lights of the radical party demand
conditions and concessions which never entered
into the head of Washington. They insist upon
innovation in all directions. The old religion
is out of fashion with them. The old morality
is In their minds synonymous with foayism.
And the old Constitution tails tar short of their
standard. Therefore, they propose to recon
struct the Union according to their amended
theory of the Constitution not according to
the Constitution as its authors promulgated it."
Why, sirs 1 will you not cotnpichend that we
are living under an "amended Constitution"
not In theory, but in naked lact? The Federal
Constitution which we now swear to support is
not "the Constitution as its authors promul
gated it," but one radically ditterent. That
Constitution allowed every State to do as it
pleased witn its own people: the Constitution
as it stands to-day expressly clothes Congress
with tho power and Invests it with the duty of
guarding the liberties and personal rights of
all the people of the United States. How can
you persist in ignoring the most momentous,
glaring facts i Why not realize that we are to
deal, not with an "amended theory," but a
vitally amended Constitution 1
The plattorm of the arm-in-arm National
Johnson Convention of Philadelphia ignored
the Constitutional amendment, and rested
the freedom of the blacks on a naked assump
tion that the Southern States have at
present no desire or nurposo to re-establish
slaveiy. The New York ratifying meeting fol
lows in the footsteps of its predecessor. No
vhere does a "conservative" gathering recog
nize and honor tbe loyalty of the blacks in our
late struggle. Montgomery BLiir sajs one hun
dred of them helped the Rebellion where one
helted the Union 1 Such calumnies on living
and dead patriots are a necessity of the Johnson
attitude. " Falsehood is employed to cover the
blackest ingratitude. But this cannot deceive
tbe greatmajority of the soldiers and the people.
We shall achieve a true reconstruction and a
lasting peace "true reconstruction" because it
excludes none, and an enduring peace because
it guarantees the rights ana satisfies tne met

The IVext Senator from the Keystone
State.
From the Herald.
The gubernatorial election in Pennsylvania
will be all one way. Major-Geueral Geary will
undoubtedly be elected by a majority that will
settle the questions at issue in all the other
loyal States, end revive the old proverb, "As
goes Pennsylvania so goes the Union." Thou
sands of the supporters of President Johnson
cannot conscientiously vote for Hei6ter Clymer,
and the President himself cannot desire the
defeat of such a candidate a3 Geary. The
chief importance of the Pennsylvania election,
therefore, is in its bearings upon the next bena-
torsnio.
The candidates ior tne senate are understood
to be Cameron, Thad. Stevens, Curtin, and
Fornev. Cowan is practically out of the race.
since there is no possible chance of his election.
Forney is emphatically "a dead auct," without
a single friend in politics, and resting his hopes
of success solely upon nis own vanity, uurtin
Is a poor weak person who amounts to nothing.
He is altogether in the power of a political
clique who use him to serve their purposes and
whose opinions ne merely renects, use a cheap
mirror, llis disposition is annuuie to a fault,
and his mind is not strong enough lor him to
undertake anything original not evun original
sin. Tbe Pennsylvanians Lave had enough of
him as Governor, and there is no likelihood of
his reaching the Senate. Xhad. Stevens has been
switched on by a renominatiou lor Congress. It
is prouaoie mat ne wouiu ratner go to tbe
House than to the Senate. It suits his peculiar
talents better ana gives greater scope to his in
domltabie energy, uesiaes tnis, we very much
doubt whether the people of Pennsylvania are
prepared to De represented oy so inveterate,
reckless, and envenomed a radical. Bull, at
our last advices, the contest was practically be
tween Stevens and Cameron the representatives
ot the extreme and the moderate men.-
The Senator who ought to be elected, and
who probably win be elected, isMinon Cameron,
lie understands tne interests or nis state better
than unv other Peunsylvaniao, and he can ad
vance aud improve them better. Ot'late be has
neeu a little radical in some or nis views, out
his radicalism is like the nap on a new pair of
tiowscrs, una will wear off belore long. As a
member of President Lincoln's Cabinet, he may
fuiriy claim to be an exponent ot Mr. Lincoln's
policy. The only charge that has been brought

Steckteo Cattcll.
From the World. I '
The radicals of New Jersey have put the cap-,
sheaf upon one piece of infamy done by to
Rump Congress. They have elected a Senator
to take the plaoc of John Stockton, tbe true and
lawfully elected Senator from New Jersey,
whom, being a Democrat, the Rump radicals
conspired to throw out of his seat in order to
obtain a two-thirds majority In the Rump
Senate. The name of the Senator who enrries
about in his person the shame of New Jersey,
the prostitution ot a fair State to the wicked
and lawless purposes of the Kurop, is Cattell.
And so it turns oat that tbere was not honor
enough, not State pride enough, not justice
enough, not decency enough in the New Jersey
radicals to resent the Insult put upon every
voter in the State of New Jersey by the Rump
Senate. Poor, mean-spirited, self-seeking par
tisans ! they grasp a party advantage and sub
mit to a public open insult to tbe State I The
mere having of a radical rather than a Democrat
in the United States Senate, is a sufficient bribe
to then to pocket the insult to themselves and
tbeir once-honored State. Instead of resenting
the iusult put upon them and their State by the
Rump Senate and sending John Stockton back
to tbe halls of Congress with a unanimous vote
which should fell the mad fanatics there that
they might be base themselves, but could not
enlorce baseness upon others, these radicals of
New Jersey assembled themselves together at
Trenton on Friday in order to publicly proclaim
themselves curs of low degree; they licked the
boots ot their masters; did the deed that was
demanded of them, and now, for a few years,
this Cattell will scat himself In the high plnce
to which his State's dishonor bore bim, wearing
the badge oi that dishonor, and himself its .liv
ing memento.
The Democrats of New Jersey refused to vote,
and thereby to recognize a vacancy. They pro
test in manly terms against the wrong to which
they refuse to be parties, and include in their
protest a brief bnt conclusive demonstration ot
the right of John Stockton to the seat which he
would be filling to-day were there one spark of
honor or pride in the New Jersey radicals.
