An Olfl Proverb VcrlfW'l.
Y-oci the T rititnc
The iupralit ido ol republics Is proverbial, and
W the provm iiad added sora-thing to the aine
effect about the republican purty, it would have
met with tli snme cordial assent that hi9 bem
given to thf original statement. We blush, in
deed, for our species when we rend, day after
day, the colnmns of abuse that are ehowcreJ
upon Mr, Johnson, Jlr. McwBi-d, and the other
ntmi-workinsr gentlemen who make up what is
tailed the Presidential party. We really do not
wonder thut even bo meek and patient a man ae
Mr. .lohuuon a proud and sensitive man, as
Mr. Peecher call? him should have, once or
twice, allowed himelt' to speak of the press
that permits such abuse as "base, venal, and
ubHi(ti.ed."
Hut, to our thinking, even if the newspaper
tad all these ba l qualities, they y.'oitlcl not be
so reprehensible as their ingratitude makes
them. J list let the candid reader think a mo
menu We are at the beginning ot a most Im
portant politteal campaum, in which, a leu
weeks wo, the prospect "was that the South
would be able to train by chicane and (rand at
the polls what Bbe had lost in fair ne;ht on tlio
bauie-lli id. A rood many of ill felt decidedly
blue. Our enemies went abo ut like ronriuz
limit, and Hlnu-pened their claws, uud dialled
thenihulves into a ;ood routing fury to devo.ir
us hp soon iui killing time set in, u hicu tliey
mid would be very soon. It wai h trd
et'oush to ste the carenss of the Contedem-v
which we had leil for de-id fUiii-r up from the
pury teld like another "FalstaH-' anl snouting
cnt a pri ti Ueriance that it had not bi-en much
killed at'er all: but it whs harder still (o see
the pneukinf? band of Northern Copperheads
who, af soon as the trumpets of victory were
Founded, crawled away to their holes like tomh
Ht ftuiris", now hopping about as happy as if they
felt cure the niirlii were coining again a in
deed, Mr. Raymond assures them it flinll, it his
jmrt.V is dclealed. Every loyal man knows that
lie felt ufjrleved aud despondent over this otme
of thinus only a lew we-ks ago. We saw before
us a loutr, expensive, unrd-working c:tuipaif,'u.
We saw that, H we wouLl curry the day, we
unlet expect to work like Tit:tns and f'penJ
money like water. There were thousauds upon
thousands of tracts to be printed, e.-inipaun
document's, campaign, Iribunes, and these must
be circulated, soh'n'broadetHt over the land nt
lurthcr expense and limber trouble. Tnen,
aguin. there were the speerbes. Our ablest men
must put on harness, and work night and day
lor weeks and weeks. TIipv must travel, too,
nud at what e::reii3c! Tuin"of car and st"iim
bo:it bills. Think, if you dare, of hotel bills;
ana tbre is the charge lor halls and platforms,
and music and pop-gun?, and detent, perhaps,
very like to be the end of all this deluee of
money, wit, eloquence, ant! patriotism.
Such was me prospect before us a lew short
weeks ago. And now, what, a dill'erence ! Ho
the horizon hag cleared ! Heboid how brightly
breaks the morning, wav down East, over
.Ma ne ! See, over biave Vermont, (Jod ble&a
ber! the Northern lights, like tiie spears of an
army, with banners of silver and llame. And
New York i sure to follow; and Pennsylvania
who can doubt? And Indiana is no longer a
. question, and every loyal man's pulses throb
with exultation over the redemption that
draweth nigh. Who did this thins? Who
wroutrht this amazing chanire t Who lifted this
burden of toil and expense which, necessary
as it was, we nil felt to be at best a sordid
charge, from our shoulders, and set us free ?
Of course, it is the Lord's doinas, but who wei.j
the inortui int-tiutuents ? If these scurvy radi
cals are not aslinuicu to look us in the luce and
listen to us, we can tell them that to the proud
and sensitive Johnson, and the otlv and pro
phetic Reward, they owe a di bt they can never
pay
Mr. Seward alone is a bill they can never toot.
How these men have worked lor us. How
they have spoken, in season and out ol season,
without yielding to their own weariness or to
that of their hearers ! What pleasin? power of
humor tht Secretary has showed ! How he has
condescended to the lowest capacity, and pant
boiled with us in the ninstl'mltiutile way! How
he has not been ashamed to prove to the niiib
that npe is not necessarily venerable, nor ex
perience necessarily prophetic, nor tie fact
that a man speaks" to the whole world, and
moves in the presence of the nations, any good
reason why he should not misrepresent, insult,
and defy the better part of his countrymen!
And how Mr. Johnson has thrown himself into
the breech ! We used to think Mr. Kverett
a wonder when he delivered one speech a
hundred times; but Mr. Johnson has left bim
far behind. And what an effective speech it
has been ! Every repetition ot it has been a
new assurance of victory, a blast on a rani's
born, before which additional bricks have fallen
from the wall of the City of Treason ! Nor need
we fear that he has exhausted his powers. We
are assured that the party has an ample supply
ol horns for the future, and will use them with
energy. Mr. Johnson is reported as hi excellent
voice, and the more insulting and indecent the
craven crowds of subsidized citizens become at
every advaucing step, the more ho convinces
them that he is their match in dignity and
decency. And all this has been done for us
without any further expense than the inortitfca
tion and shame that follow the reading of the
daily record of it in the journals.
The party that has done our dirty work for us
so effectually has paid its own bills on the ears,
steamboats, and at the hotels. A thousand
journals have printed and published the docu
ments for us, and the mails have disseminated
tbeni far and wide. Mass-meetings have assem
bled without putting any one to the trouble ot
calling them together; bands have tooted, tire
works have fizzled, and all the fountains have
flowed with brandy and water; and we have
nothing to do but to lanuh aud grow fat as we
read the election returns that toll us the glori
ous result of the Presidential policy.
If everybody is ungrateful, then we are mag
nanimous and ungrateful. Ood be thanked that
the bloody mind of the Bouth was shown to us
in season to guard against the blow she aimed
at least to guard against it in p irt! God be
thanked that the scandalous part the President

It hat. been the misfortune of the Republican
party that so niuny of its adherent have sought
as it were purposely to make it appear in the
character of a eectionai and disuuion organi.a
lion. A class of camp followers, thrown out of
employment by tlj; termination of hostilities
men who suffered neither in person nor in pro
perty while the war lasted have male them
bf Ives especially conspicuous as agents of discord
and sectional malice during the past eighteen
months. Some of them were necessary but un
'Bcrupulous atlaohes of provost-marshals' office?
others were speculators in cotton and various
lescnptions or loose southern property; ye
soother set had a stock of Northern pbilun
thropy, in which they dealt,' wherever paying
prices were to be had; and, more powerful for
ulBcnju uup any or iij el r: tgiuoiucti
wro commissioned officer? whose official
record was bad. The accession o thoutamH
of such men to" any party could only be an in
jury, and to the eitent to which tnrv nrstit
be able to mould its policy a c(vaiij. Wuh
no higher views of patriotic duty, while ihc
great conflict was going on, th:in personal
agcrandlzcment, they have no biehcr con
ception of honor and ol right as political
partisans now that the etnie is over. Aud
whatever errors of Judgment there may be
chargeable Hgainst the President, or acainst
conservative Republicans who have iven bis
polioy an Independent suppoit, there has
been nothing in the whole record of the Rcpul
lican rarty so fatal to its permanent lntlitence
and power as its association with the tribe of
miscbief-nakeiB whose fortunes were br.iken
when the armies of the Confederacy surrendered
lo Crmit. Their baneful influence has not only
been felt here in their native haunts, where
they daily preach malice and uncbaritableness
at will, but it spreads itself all over the country,
and is tclt, to-dav, more than anywhere else in
the subjugated States; stirring up strife between
master and servant, and keeping alive the flumes
of discord between sections and races.
What does General Swayne, the Freedmen's
Commissioner in Alabama, testify? Surely his
evidence oueht to be listened to even bv those
who are nccustomcd to reject ordinary testimony
as to affairs m the South. General Sway no says,
writing from Mobile: "The attention ot parties
has been nrawn to the systematic dissemination
of iff ins nt the North, apparently by one person,
detailing all tons of sensational occurrences to
persons ot both laces. The scone is generally
laid in Mobile, and the story is unilormly with
out, foundation." .
Now that is a statement surely of a very grave
natme. We know here that it fs in no manner
exaggerated; we know that the most horrityin
reports irom Alabama and Mississippi are pub
lished every day In extreme papers bere, and
that they arc published as proper campaign
documents, witn the view of cxnsper itinsr th2
public mind, and supplying capital for disunion
agents. Yet General Ssvavne, specially intrusVd
with the guardianship ot the black race iu Ala
bama a man whose record as n soldier elves
nuihority to what he declares, and a man who
has no persrnal or parly object to subserve,
steps forward aud pronounces the stories of the
bnrbarous treatment of the negroes, and toe
antagonism between the freed men and their
late eniploeis to be utterly without foundation.
Let this kind of malicious sectional navney go
on; let tho-. lyine reports from Mobile con
tinue to be echoed back from this city and else
where ami how much nearer to a thorough
reunion should we be, were the Constitutional
amendment accepted to-morrow by evciy State
of the South? Supposing ve ad mit that the
acceptance ol tlnu amcmlmrnt by the South
alloitls the icndictil olution of t lie problem of
reconstruction suppose conservative men agree
to recommend its acceptanou tire these ueents
ol strife at Mobile and elseh-rc not doing their
ntmest to make thorough and cordial restora
tion impossible? What possible inducement is
t here tor reasonable and moderate Southern men
to accept the Coimrr,.sMuiial plan ot senlemcni,
so long as the.v a:e traduced by orsani.ed inulnr
nants, who have as little love lor the ITu'.jit as
they have reward for decency and truth ?
It the lately insurgeut States have to come
back under such guarantees as the Constitu
tional amendment lavs down, let the intelligent
aud responsible portion of their people at least
understand that the compromise is made iu a
sphit of fairness and frankness, and that we
have ceased to treat them as peipctual aliens
uud enemies. The attempt to awaken love and
respect by steady and persevering abuse has
been tried' umomi other peoples and in other
times. Wc do not read anvwhere that it has
succeeded. It certainly will not succeed on
this continent among American-born men and
women not, among such of them, at least, as
are tit to exercise the rights oi freemen and to
enjoy the privileges of citizenship.
The President nud Congress Rceoni Illa
tion Dcmnmli'U by the Country.
From the Herald.
The public sentiment, of the Northern States
has, we think, been sufficiently developed
within the last two months to bring the Presi
dent and Congress to reason, reflection, and
harmony on the great issue of Southern restora
tion. Excepting the singular political ele
ments which hold the majority in this metropo
lis, we have no doubt that the Constitutional
mendment now before the States will sweep
the Norlh from Maine to California. It is not
what the radicals want, it is not what the Cop
perheads want, but it is exactly what is wanted
by that great body of the American people
who, with their unstinted contributions of men,
in oney, arms, ships, and supplies ol all kinds,
put down the late gigantic and tenacious South
ern Kcbeiiion.
At the bectpntng of the last session of Co n-
gress, the relations between the two departments
weie ot such a cnaracter as to lustity the con
clusion that harmonious co-operation would
prevail between theui. The Presidout, ir. bis
annual message, turned over this business of
Southern reconstruction to the two Houses,
where it constitutionally belongs. So far it was
well. But very soon the Jacobin leaders and
mischief-makers betran in Congress their charges
of usurpation, treachery, and despotism against
tne man at the oiuer end ot the avenue," and
their hints of impeachment and their warnings
ot tne fate ot Uliarles tne tirst.
The President was naturally provoked, and
very injudiciously, we think, in a public speech
or two paid on uis accusers in their own com.
Then, resolved upon coercion, they commenced
and prosecuted tbeir experiments of negro sut-
lraee, rreedtnen's Bureau, oivii Hignt, aua
other bills uud resolutions, some ol which they
failed to carry, some of which he vetoed, and
two ot winch they carried over Ins veto. Thus
the original rupture between Andrew Johnson
and Thuddeus Stevens was widened into an ap
parently "irrepressible conflict" between the
executive and legislative the law-executing and
law-making branches of the Government.
Witn the passaire bv a two-thirds vote in each
house ofihe Constitutional amendment embrac
ing the ultimatum of Congress for the restora
tion oi tne excluded isouihern states, this cou
flict between President and Congress should
have ended. The President should have nc
cepted the amendment as a mcasuro constitu
tionally completed so far as Contrress was con
cerned, lie so recognized it in submitting it to
the States, throueh the secretary of Slate, so
that in carrying before the people the question
between his policy and the policy ot Congress,
it was nmpiy upon tne expediency ot this
amendment. It Is not a Jacobin measure the
objectionable radical section originally put in
was stricken out, and the amendment was
passed without it, against, the remonstrances of
such radical leaders as Stevens ami Sumner.
Subsequent events have shown that the Presi
dent made a mistake in not acceptiag this
amendment, so passed, as an end of his conflict
with Congress. Unfortunately, too, instead of
closing, he lias still further widened the breach
in the speeches ot his late pilgrimage to Chi
cago, in honor of the memory of a man whom
neither monuments nor Presidential pilgiitnutres
can raise above the calibre of a scheming uud
disappointed politician. Iu this excursion the
President's denunciations of Congress bavo fur
nished plausible excuses for more violent de.
nuneiatitiiis against himself by radical orators
and oignns over the length aud breadth of Up
land, to the scandal of our popular system of
unvcnimerit anrouu ana ro tne tnorliucutiou ot
the preat body of the American people of all
parties.
Surely wo have had enoueh of this. As be
tween the President uud Congress the hatchet
ought to be buried, and no better basis of a
treaty of peace can bo devised than this Con
stitutional amendment. Let the President, then,
use his influence South in securing the immediate
TKttfrcatiou of tliis amendment, and with the
restoration on this platform of the Southern
States he will secure a decisive victory over the
radicals in securing the balance of power in
Congress. Ills oppoitunity and his advantages
in this direction cannot be exaggerated, while,
in pursuing; the opposite course he wust Inevi
tably ifjl.
Cnf.'rr vs. The Irtl(lrot-The Itsne.
Prom Frank littUe'i U utt rated Weekly,
The obiect rt the terribl wr t branch which
the nft'ion has pas-ed was not alone to defe-tt n
at tried attempt to destroy the Union. It was
equally, and as a necessary corollary, to itiBtire
the permanence of that Union.
It was not enough that th'; last Ueocl laid
dowu his arms and submitted to an auhoiity
that he could no longer resist. Tne country de
manded guarantees fcr the future. Pcenrding
slavery as an exciting cruc of the war, and a
possible excitation to further assaults on the
Government, it required -its abolition, and it
wasabblished by a Constitutional amendment,
while (ill tne Rebel States were held, as they
now are, unrepresented, and at the mercy of the
i;overt.mcnt. ine acceptance ot the atnena
ment was made imperative on them. It was a
condition absolntelyand peremptorily required
ot tiicm, and the army and navy of the United
States, its whole power, in short, was held in
reserve to enforce the requirement.
Other conditions were thought requisite, by
the vanquishers, quite as requisite as the aboli
tion of slavery; for, when an appeal is macjo to
the sword, all constitutions and chartered rights
ere put aside, and the light of might becomes
absolute.
President Johnson insisted that "Treason
must Ue made odiuiis, and traitors must be pun
ished iinu impoverished. The ureat plantations
must be seized and divided into small farms,
and old to honf t, industrious men."
There were many men among those whom he
abtcQ in putting down the Rebellion who did
not approve bis radical agrarinnlsm, while they
BPieed with him tnat "treason must be made
odious and punished." Rut when he asked the
question, 'Shall the traitors who brought this
misery on the State lie permitted to control
its destinies ?" the whole loyal population of the
country echoed his emphatic answer, "No!"
.President Johnson, fairly representing the
sentiment of the vanquishers, the men who
elected him lor the purpose ot carrying out their
views and piiuciples, insisted, ns another condi
tion logical to the result of the war, that the
Rebel .States should, In the most formal manner,
repudiate the Rebel debt. He had no ritriit to
insn t on this rondition under any constitutional
clause or provision whatever, lie assumed the
richt as a conqueror, or as one representing the
conquerors, in a strutrs?le in which the van
quished had utterly waived and repudiated all
constitutional provisions, favorable to them
selves or otherwise.
In doing thK he without doubt exceeded his
constitutional powers us President. He should
have called together the co-ordinate brunches of
Government, and have, submitted to them the
whole qui'ftwn ot ''reconstruction." He had no
more right, directly or indirectly, thiough his
Secretary oi State, to dictate terms to the Kebeld,
except in his military capacity as Commander-
in-Chief ot the forces, than the nie.-mest citizen
in the land. At tliis time he recognized the
tact, and told the Rebel States thut tne matter
ol tin ir "restoration must be subject to the de
ci"ion of Congress.'1
Such bcina the ca-e. Consrrcss should have
been convened. But it was not. It met in ordi
nary course, and, after u period wnich many
deem to have beeu unnccessurily long, but
which history may not adjudge to have been too
long, considering the gravity and dilliculty ot
the qiicsliou befoie it, formally, and in the shape
ot a constitutional amendment, prescribed the
conditions on which it thought proper the "re
storation," which President Johnson declared
the.v alone bad a right to grant, should be con
ceded.
This amendment declares, first, that all per
sons born or naturalized in the United States
are citizens fhercot, entitled to all the privi
leges and immunities of citizens, which no State
can abridge without due process ol law. Second,
that representation shall be apportioned accord
ing to the number ol voters iu the States. Third,
tlutt no person having held an olhce ot trust
and honor unner the Confederate States, and
taken an oath of fealty to the same, shall be
eligible a elector of President or V iee-Presi
dent, or again hold a Federal ollice, unless by
authority of two-thirds of each House of Con
gress; and finally, that the public debt of the
United states, incurred in suppressing the He
belpon, shall not be lepnduitcd, or the obliga
tious ol the late insurgent States recognized.
By accepting tbese simple, just, and moderate
conditions the urst, necessary to the protec
tion of the emancipated slaves; the second, re
quisite to "punish treason and make it odious;"
the third, to secure to loyal voters their rightful
voice in the Government; and the fourth, to put
tne national credit beyond cava by accepting
tnese, tue lately iteoei states can come back
into the Union in full fellowship. Never did
conqueror concede conditions so generous
Never was crime condoned so lightly. Never
was prodigal offered admission to the home he
bad deserted ana attempted to desolate on terms
to easy.
in proposing tnem. congress did not vield to
the rierce, implacable, and almost malignant
spirit of the President, who would have made
every rteoei a pauper, and turned him out in
the world a beggar. Actuated by a lofty and
humble spirit, they would simply debar the vio
lator ot one oatu from the opportunity ot break
ing another; the betrayer of one trust from the
cnance ot betraying another; the men who
sought to destroy the country from obtaining
additional rower through their crime, to be
used, perhaps, in discrediting the national faith,
J. lie auienaments came trom Congress indue
and constitutional form, and are taking the
course prescribed by the Constitution. The
President, who had again and again, in forms
more violent tar than tnose proposea bv con
gress, insisted on precisely the same conditions.
now places nimsett m open hostility to the
action ot Congress. He denies the right of the
nation to reap the logical reu)ts of the war
And a Convention, called in his interest, meet
ing in Philadelphia, propounds the astounding
doctrine that those engaging in rebellion lost
none of their right in consequence, nud that
the sole punishment of traitors is the failure of
tbeir treason ! In other words, thut the attempt
to subvert the Government, through blood and
slaughter, is a mere venal ollense, entailing no
aibuoiiiiies, ana may oe renewed witn impunity
until successful. According to this doctrine, a
member of a household may disconnect himself
Irom it at pleasure, assail its members, and
essay to burn down the common raaiision: but
falling, bus a perfect light to return, demand
all his lormer privileges, the protection of the
common roof, aud immunity from the conse
quences of his conduct, until opportunity oilers
lor another and perhaps more successful attempt
ul uisrupiiou uuo arson:
It will be remembered that an analogous doc
trine was advanced by the wretched Buchanan,
who could find no constitutional right to "co
erce a btate," nor any written warrant for a
nation to preserve its life. The so-called "Na
tional Urion Convention," meeting, as wo have
Btiitl, in the interest of the President, aud lnuui-
puiaiea ny n,s Bupponeis, declared:
"1 be Constitution ot the United States is to
da.y precisely went it was belore the war. the
supreme law of the land, anything iu the Con-
siuuuou or laws oi any state to the contrary
notwithstanding. And to-day, also, as before
the war, all powers not conferred by the Consti
umuu on iuo general iioverninent, nor pro
moiled by it to the States, are reserved to the
several states or the people thereof.

in other words, no branch of the Govern
ment has a right to impose a single condition
on the lately inmrgeut State-', nor can all its
brauches prescribe a single requisite to their
perfect resumption of all the powers and privi-
ji-uro ue .y pucsrsoen dim ore rno war. Accord
lug to this doctrine, their Senators and Repre
entatives have the right to walk into the halls
of Conurtss and resume their seats, precisely as
if the lour years of bloody war had beau no
more man an adjournment for a junketing.
no proposition could be more absurd or in
nuliing to the common sense ot the peoole, whb

they were to piosecute it sin-ci Htdnllr. Tniu run

It is an abiie of terms to say that Congresj Is
keeping any State out of the Uniou. Tneunrepre-
senten states are keeping tuemseivos out, because
they will not accept the conditions that expe
rience, reason, and a decent regard for th" peace
and permanence of the country render both
prooer and necessary.
The President tells us that the lately Rebel
States are entitled to admission iuto Congress
whenever they present themselves there in the
persons of loyal representatives; that they are as
thorouehly in the Union as they were ten years
sao; that the national Legislature has no right
lo impose conditions on iheir return.
By what right, then, did the President ntmeu
impose conditions precedent on them?
When have they presented themselyes in the
persons of loyal reprevntatives at the doors
of Congress? Why Georgia came with the
Vice-President of the Rebel Confederacy ns its
loyal representative, while staunctt lovaiists
like Joshua Jlill were treated with neglect ana
scorn !
The question before the people Is distinct and
plain. The South should be treated with
elcmency, consideration, and kindness; but the
nat ion owes It to the dead aud the marued.ns well
as to the bereaved and the suffering, that all
disturbing elements shaU be expelled from its
organization, and ample guarantees secured for
the future. Are the guarantees exacted by Con
cress either unjust or excessive? If not, they
should be insisted on by the voice or the peoole,
to w hom the issue is now submitted by the Exe
cutive and by Congress.
