THE NEW YORK TRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. Ol M PILED KV" VAT F0R "VKNIKO TELEGRAPH. Who I Mr. McGinnis 1 Ir(W, tfit Tribune. It is a considerable lime since we askcrt tun question, briefly but explicitly, and although, our circulation la also considerable, we do not yet know who Is the illustriously ob.icurc man appointed to reside as our Minister at Stock holm. Mr. McGinnis himself might write, but he don't; someot Mr. McGinn!' friewls might write, but they don't. To add to the bother ation,' we shall get no information when the nomination of Mr. McGinnis is debated in the Senate Tbis Is trlllin with historical facts, and threatens to add another to tho catalogue, alicady too long, of historic doubts and pro blems. It is all well enough to leave the niat ter unsettled now, but fancy the perplexities of writers A. D. 1907; the essays that will bu written about the shadowy John the iollos that may be printed to prove that it was not this nor that Joan, but some other John: the ponderous arzumenls to demonstrate that there never was any McGinnis; a repeti tion of the "bother about William Penn and George Pcnne, to which in this day historical ftudents have been treated; communications to the Jrilmne in the next aee asking our suc cessors who Mr. John McGinnis was; searches bv snuffy antiquaries of the journals of the Senate; deputations of ftill snullier antiquaries com over to Stockholm to investigate; fights between irasciMe antiquaries; a long corre l ondence, perhaps In Latin, between friendly antiquaries; elaborate articles in the quarterly reviews of the peiiod upon the subject; theo ries that Mr. McGinnis was a myth; other theo ries that he was a hero who did wonderful things which have been forgotten; betsey Pnge'B asserting that "there never wan't no sich person:" and Sairy Gamp's vindicating the exigence of this diplomatic Mrs. Harris and all because nobody will write now to let m know who Mr. McGinnis really is 1 This will Dever do. There are perplexities enough in history already. Think of the man iu the iron mask ! Think ol the Rev. Eleazer Williams, a Bjurbon as doubtlul et most of the fluid ot that name! Think of the man who read the mannikins 1 Think of the man who horely smote Mr. William Patterson! Think of Mr. Patterson himself, whoe history is all nebulous, and of whom nothing is known ex cept that comparatively nothinor is known of him! And here comes' Mr. John McGinnis, aa dubious as a modern Dauphin, as impersonal as sone of Ossian's ghosts, as shadowy as the author of Junius and must stat nominis umbra con tinue to be said of him? Not if we can help it! In such a perplexity, bny theory is better than no theory; and one has been suggested to us which we leel it to be our duty to give. It has been hinted that Mr. McGinnis is merely Mr. Doolittle attempting to fly from the wrath ot the people under an assumed name. Thcte are reasons for this, when we consider how many motives there are which would naturally induce any inau ot modesty in Mr. Doolittle's situation to expatriate himself; but, on the other hand, Mr. Doolittle, so far as our observation of him has enabled us to judge, is not what may be called a man of modesty. That he is uncommonly angry and somewhat aoreabout the head, we can easily believe; but he probably considers himself to be an ex tremely injured individual, worthy of a more potent and profitable plaster than the embassy to such a cold court as that of Stockholm. He is suihctenUy out in the cold already, without going to a country where, so to speak, the heart of the thermometer is always in its heels. No ! we cannot say that we believe that Mr. McGin nis is Mr. Doolittle. There Is another theory, which we consider to be about as good in its way as poor Miss Bacon's notions of Shakespeare's plays. This asserts the identity ot the John Jones of Mr. Tyler's admis tratlon and the John McGinnis of Mr. Johnson's. John Jones is so common a name in fact, so near no name at all that we suppose a man would have a right to change It without appli cation to the authorities. Of Mr. Johu Jones we know something. He wrote; and distin guished himseli by writing the very worst edi torial articles which, have been printed since tne invention of newspapers tuey were, in fact, so extremely bad that we have seen nothing half so good since. There was none Of your tame mediocrity, hatelul to gods and men, about them they were worthy, in fact, of the remarkable man to wbose defense they were dedicated. Mr. Tyler vetoed debt and left, and John Jones stood by him Mr. Johnson vetoes right anu leit, ana Joun Jticliinnis stands by him. But here the parallel becomes contused. Mr. Tyler kept John Jones by him to the last; Mr. Johnson sends Mr. John McGinnis into a kind of honorable banuishment. This argues, wc are willing to admit, an encouraging sagacity on the part of Mr. Johnson; because we hold that the sooner he gets rid of all his lricuds tho more comfortable as a man, and the more pro fitable as a public servant, he will be. But we do not see that we help the matter at all by writing about it. Ir, tt muddle we bestan, and in a muddle we are likely to end. Wherefore we resolutely Jnve off, only once more asking we must p.sk, whatever may be (he conse quenceswho is Mr. John McGinnis? The President aud tke Democracy. from the Timet. We cannot congratulate President Johnson upon his imitation ol the Jaeksoman example. The electric force of the old toast, "The Union: it must and shall bo preserved," is not found in the sentiment offered by the President on Tues day evening. One touched the national heart, and gave expression to the patriotic that ani mated it. The other remiuds us of a partisan quarrel, with the Executive aud the Democratic party arrayed In hostility to Congress and the people at its back. Jackson affirmed his own purpose and the purpose of the country. John son unwisely because gratuitously renews his attack upon the policy of Congress, aud de scends from the dignity of President to the level of a partisan chief. The body he assails has not he tells us "the constitutional power to de grade the people of any State by reducing them to the condition of mere territorial dependen cies upon the Federal head." What the consti tu.lonal power of Congress may be is for the Supreme Court alone to decide. And the Pre sident hurts nobody so much as himself when be undertakes to decry the authority of Con gress on a hypothesis which has not yet pre sented itself. It is the habit of the Democracy to impute to Congress an intention to degrade the Southern people by reducing their Slates to territories. But the President knowthat nothing of the kind has been enacted, nor even approved by either House. The territorial policy, so-callei, has thus far not been acted upon in caucus or in the Capitol. The Constitutional amendment la the only formal embodiment of the policy denounced by the President, and certainly that measure does not reduce the Southern States to 'the condition of mere territorial dependencies." Other measures may become necessary if the amendment tail, and it were idle to calculate in advance whether the territorial theory will or will not enter into them. The country deals With the facts that exist, and the President ought not to go beyond them. For the North Carolina bill of Mr. tHevens is as moderate as the amendment, and is as far removed from the territorializing doctrine In its principle or in Its form of operation. Other considerations should also have re strained the President in the drafting of his I'Mntimmt" He arralens the action of Con cha rtftfrmaticallv as unconstitutional. Ho ' vindertakfs to define authoritatively what Con-em-s may or may not do in referenco to tho restoration or reconstruction of the South. Has THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11,' 1867. i! no occurred to him Uiat his own title to dic tate the terms under which the present orTnl tations at Ihe South were formed is at, leat m open to criticism as anythliiB tho law-making branch ot tho Uovernraent has done or may do t If it be unconstitutional to legislate Ailveiaoly to his views, may ho not have noted somewhat unconstitutionally when he defined the condi tions that bbould'reeuiale the restoration of the Rebel Slates to the Union? Thpre is room for a wide dillerence of opinion on all these points. And though the President may honestly claim credit tor the purposes that actuated him in the earlier p tape of the business of restoration, he should have learned ere now the folly of need lessly calling in question either thn motives or the tendencies of a policy wbich the party that made, him Vice-President has stamped with his approval. There have been changes, of course, all round the circle; but we appjehend there has been no change in the position or aims of the Republican party at all comparable with the chance in the President's surroundings, as at this 8th of January banquet. Mr. Thomas B. Florence figured as a dinpenher of favors on the oroaedon; Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, Mr. Niblack, of Indiana, and Mr. Saulsbury. of Delaware, were notable examples of the gather ing that cheered Mr. Johnson's arraignment of ConerrcAS. Some of these petsons were ot the opinion that the war to put down the Rebellion was throughout outrageously unconstitutional, and nine-tenths of tho crowd were more or less hosiile to the whole course of the Government dining the war. If the applause ol theo, and such hb these, affords Mr. Johnson comfort and consolation in the midst of the dllliculties that surround him, by all means let him enjoy it. But he must not Fuppose that an indictment preleircd against Congress, with the indorsa tion of malignant Copperheads, will shake the faith of the loyal people of the land In the patriot ism or wisdom of the policy established by their Repiescntatlve. The Movements of the Tiourlion Demo cracy Tle Contest of lbGS. Irom the Herald. The Democracy in various places have been celebrating the anniversary of General Jack sou's victory of New Orleans a victory to which the party is indebted for Its successful debut under Old Hickory. With hia retirement from the stage, however, began Ihe deellno and fall of their empiie, and now from a succession of crushing defeat, beginning In 1800, they are in the condition of a iduted and shattered army, without a leader aud without any definite plan of otlensive or defensive operations. In this condition, let us see what is the drift of theao 8th of January celebrations. We turn first to the banquet at Washington, at which old Mr. Blair, the father of the irre pressible Blair family, was the presiding genius. 'Ihe general proceedings of this meeting were those of a mutual admiration society ; but there was at leat one character in it ana one propo sition submitted worthy ot tpecial attention We refer to President Johnson, who was among the invited guests, and to bis tOdt '"No Stale of its own will ha a right under the Con stitution to renounce its place iu or withdraw from the Union; nor has the Con gress of the United States the constitutional power to degrade the people of any State by reducing them to thq condition of mere terri torial dependencies upon the Federal head. The one is a disruption and dissolution of the Government; the other is consolidation and ; the exercise of despotic power." How far this , despotic power was provisionally exercised by , President Johnson over the Rebel States in the absence of Congress, is a question from which ! this toast might be answered. It will suffice, I however, that what he assumed the respo-jsi- bility in doing, Congress has the right to do that i is, the riaht to reconstruct the States rescued 1 from the Rebellion from the beginning and upon the terms justified by the grand issues of the war. The President's toast is somewhat cloudy. Does it apply to the pending Constitu tional Amendment? We do not koo a, and yet it was the nearest thing to a party platform that was offered at this Democra'ic banquet. On the same day the Democracy of Connecti cut had a grand mass convention at New Haven, at which a long string of rattling resolutions was adopted, strongly seasoned with the old Democratic leaven ot State rights, glorifying the Supreme Court of the United States and the President, denouncing Conerrets, and urging a National Democratic Convention without delay. There is nothing in all this worthy of special remark, except the recognized necessity ot a National Convention to get the party on its legs again. But anion the i-peeches on the occa- ! sion was a very ridiculous, incendiary haraDgue frcm the Hou. James Brooks, ot New York, ! threatening a general insurrection of the Demo cracy if Congress shall attempt to Impeach the Pics-ldent aud deprive him oi his office. Against , all such idle vaporings from any quarter the ; great Union party of the lute war suiud as the i bill waik of law and order, and, after the fiery trials tLrouch which thev have passed, they are not to be frightened by the popguns of f-mall-potato politicians. The Union army of the war a million ot men has been mustered out of ser- vice; but it still exit-ts and is a unit upon the j idea that the issues decided by tho war shall be written in the book ot Southern restora tion and in ihe Constitution as eecuritv for the future. ' So much, then, for this Connecticut Demo cratic Convention. Brooks has spoiled it. Ol the same State rights staple as the Connecticut resoiutions were those or the frlorinus 8th of the Ohio Democracy at Columbus, including a recommendation ior a national convention. But there is tometuing of the Vallandighatu virus in the Ohio resolution referring to the ludical majority "of the so-called Congress" at Washington. What does this mean but that this "so-called Congress" is not a Congress; that it is an illegal body; that its acts aud those of each preceding Congress, back to the secession of.tlie Southern delegations-of 1H61. are null and void aud go for nothing national debt, cur rency, bonds, abolition of slavery, and every thing else? rroiu ail lliee loresnnaowings, wnat is 10 De the Democratic niocramme for 19G8? We have no sign indicating any chuuee from the Chicago platiorm no abandonment of those old Stale rights notions which went down with the Rebel lion. Itvould really seem as if, against Con press, under cover of the admiuistiation and the Supreme Court, the Democratic Bourbou leaders expect to work up such a state of political con fusion and dtlay in reconstruction as will eventually result in brlneing the outside South ern States and tbeold dufiaut Southern oligarchy back again into Coneress as they were, with even the institution of negro slavery practically revived and in lull blast. Against the plan of" operations thus suggested the true course of Congress and the Republican party is very plain. It is to push through tne pending Con stitutional amendment in tne loyai iaies, nom ine to it as the test of Southern restoration; it Is to make such needful revisions In our tariff, Internal revenue and currency loans as the con dition of the country demands, and leave the interpretation of the Constitution, as to the powers of Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court, to the great Union party ol the war in the Presidential election of 1808. Upon this eround, discarding the danererous couusels of all such vloleut Jacobins as Wendell Phillips, General Ben Butler, Ashley, of Ohio, and Wilson, or Iowa, the Republican party, adhering to the general issues upon which the Thirty-ninth Congress was elected, and upon which the Fortieth Congress has been secured, can secure the Forty-first with the next Presi dent. And why? Simply because the consoli dated people of the all-powerful North are fixed in this resolution that the late war shall not tuin out a failure. The Articles ot Impeachment. From Vie World. The ailioles ol Impeachment ol President Johuson, oi which Mr, Aauley was delivered la the House of Representatives on Monday, look well on paper; but we fail to tee that tbey would not have applied with eieuter force to Ihe late lamented Lincoln, whose honesty few have ever disputed. Examine them riaiim: 1. He t Andrew JoUmou) has corruptly a ted the apuoiniiug t ower, PreMdcut Lincoln, if we rrelloct aright, upon bis accession to office removod every honest official In the country who did not agree with him In politics, and it is generally be lieved that the head of an important bureau at Washington was given his po.itlou shortly after presenting the Piesident with a silver tea ser vice. It is also believed that he appointeda pet son to the office of Chief Justice in order to disuse of him ns a rival for the succeeding Presidency, and to secure in the Supreme Court a political element of a partisan stamp. 3. lie (Andrew Johnson) has Corruptly diapojod ot public pioperty of the United mates. . There have been teports that, during Mr. Lincoln's occupancy of the White House, a number of aiticles of plate and furniture mys teriously disappeared, which reports Mr. Thad deus Stevens gave public utterance to in the House of Representatives, and more than inti mated that the said reports had substantial foundation. 8. lie (Andrew Johnson) has oorrnptlr lnterfc-red In election", and committed tots, and conspired with others to commit got., which, in oontomplntion of the Constitution, are high crimes and inisdo meanors. During President Lincoln' term of office, It was generally understood that elections were interfered with by the direct connivance, if not by the direction, of the administration. It Is a matter of history that soldiers were thrown into Maryland pending an election, who prevented duly Qualified citizens lrotn voting for Demo cratic candidates, thereby securing the election of Republican candidates. It is, further, a matter of history that at the election of Presi dent in 1864, soldiers belonging to the army of which Abraham Lincoln wastbe Commander-in-Chief not only voted where they had no legal resi dence, but voted again aud again on election day, e. g., at Indianapolis, Indiana. It is, still fuither, duly recorded that, by the order as well as by the consent of President Lincoln, nows paper were suppressed, and citizens of the United States were i nested without warrant, condemned without trial, and imprisoned with out being sentenced; which deeds, "in contem plation of the Constitution, are high crimes and misdemeanors." To make the point complete. It is only neces sary to add that, had a member of the House of Representatives proposed to impeach tne presi dent during Mr. Lincoln's admlniPtration on such slight pretexts as those upon which Mr. Ashley has founded his proposed articles of im peachment of President Johnson, he would have been hurried off to the Old Capitol Prison within twelve hours afterwards, if. not sent out of the country.
