The Cn flirt Itetweeu the President and , Congress in icac lungs of History, frost Herald. Had tue aiuatcs 01 Andrew jounson as a politician extruded beyond the official examples of Andrew Jackson and the electioneering Slate tights dogmas of JefTersorj, he would hardly lave attempted at tin late day as a statesman tbat fatal experiment of taking Into his own Iiands tho exclusive powers of the legislative department. At all events, President Jckou's 4'I take the responsibility" has been fatally mis applied by President Johnson In assuming too much, and history, therefore, may be applied to Tartu him of the consequences.' Modern times have witnessed three great national revolutions, each of which has been IraiiRtu with instruction lor the future guidance tf mankind. Tne Bret of the revolutions was In Englaud. Beginning in the reign of Cnarles the first, It was prolonged with varying tor tune throughout the period of the Common wealth, and tue succeeding reigns of the Second Charles and Jamcj, and was tinallv brought to a ch?e by the accession to the turoue of Wil liam of Orange- in 1US8. The second of these revolutions was in France, riegun in the reign Cf Louis the Sixteenth, and having witnessed during its progress, successively, the establish ment of a republic, a consulate, an empire, a kingdom, a second tiraea rpublic, and asecond time an empire, it can scarcely be said, after the Japse of the greafrpart ot a century, to have yctueared its termination. The third, and the youngest of these revolutions has tieen in our own land and in our own day. Its origin is out of recent date. During tho brief period of Its existence the nation has waded through oceans of blood and experienced all the deso lating ejects of a tearful civil war. A gigantic Rebellion has been suppressed, our old political pystem, resting upon Alncan slavery, has beeu put down, but the work of reconslrueiiou on the new basis of universal liberty remains still lo be done. As these revolutions have originated iu dif ferent circumstances and have been maintained for di liferent objects, it Is not to bo expected that the lessons which they will severally be queath to posterity will be precisely tne same. There is one lesson, however, which the tirst two have already taught, aud which the third proiinses to teach with equal emphasis, and that is the absolute lolly of the Executive Btubboruly to resist the legitimately expressed Will of tne people. Pity it is that the ui?tjry of the United Siaies. which in many important particulars has revealed such a marked im provement on the history ot older nations, should have to furnish another such lesson. Jtut so it is to be. We have said something of Wr. Johnson's historical studies. Tuere are Fome who read history wisely anil to protit. There are others who read history but cannot understand it. There are others, again, who read history, and who, though understanding it, refuse to be guided by its teachings. PresiiJeut Johnson, if a reader of history at all, certainly does not belong to the first of these orders. He 3s neither so stupid nor so ignorant that he can ho classed with the second. From his known tenacity to his pet crotchets, we are more will ing to believe that he belongs to the last. With or without the knowledge "of tne pan, he cer tainly is placing himself in the teeth otthe very difficulties which cost Charles the First aud liouis the Sixteenth their heads, and which diove James the Second, Charles the Tenth, and Louis Philippe each from his threne and country into exile. Nor Is it for a moment to toe imagined that the defeat of Andrew Johnson in the struggle which he so doggedly aud so foolishly maintains, though it cannot be so dis astrous either to himself or to the Union, will toe less complete than in the cases to which we liave referred. He has engaged in a contest in "Which he mupt go down. We do not mean for a moment to question the Tight ot the President to veto, within certain limits, the proceedings of Congress. The timfl we trust, Is far distant when tne PresidentlM office will be regarded in the light of a merely lionorary situation. Jt is and it ought to he a position of importance and of power. It has many duties and it has doubtless many cares. The President is Chief Magistrate ot the nation. The right to veto, which is vested in him by the Constitution in virtue of his otlice, is his special and distinguishing prerogative. In certaiu cir cumstances the exercise of such preroaative may be not only legitimate, but just, it is a power, however, which is dangerous, and can not be used with too much wisdom andcautiou. Intended for a check, it never was meant to be an obstruction. It certainly never was the dpsipn of the framers ot the Constitution, as it certainly never can be lor the interests of the nation, thatlt should be exercised in open deti ance of the expressed will of the people. Such, however, is the position in whicn Id r. Johnson las placed himself, and irom which it has uow Jeoome a necessity to expel blm. We are willing to be generous in our interpre tation ot the. President's motives. We can un deistand how he mav be encouraged to perse vere in his obstructive Doliey by conscientious ecruples. But so it was with Charles the First, Xouis the Sixteenth, James the Second, and the cdherp. They were all men of certain or uncer tain conscientious scruples. But their scruples aud excuses, good or bad, neither justioeJ their policy nor averted their fate. What, then, should achiet magistrate like President Johnson do, when Fcruples and excu.-es incline him in one direction and the populivr will demands that, he. move in another? Has he no choice but to resist the popular will or violate the teachings of conscience 1 He has a choice. lie can re sign. In not adopting this course the Presi dent, we think, has mad", a grand mis take. He would have shown himseh a greater philosopher if, instead of undertaking that bow celebrated stumping tour to Chica"o. he inuaiura bi, mo r unf nouse, pondering the lessons of-the past; and the world would Jiave considered him a ereater statesman an! posterity would have accorded him a nobler name, if, whun the fall elections were ended and the will of the people had been so unmis takably exproseed, findiug his conscience still Unbending, he had voluntarily resigned a posi tion which experience taught him he coald till neither with comfort to himself nor with satis faction to the country. But he has not yet lost Jiis opportunity. Resignation even now on his part would cover a multitude of sins, while his Jmpea huient and removal, which are certain as matters now stand, will be Inseparable from unqualified disgrace. Prerogative, whether royal or presidential, must yield to popular right and the sovereign powers of the National legislature. "Between us be Truth!" 2'rvin the Tribnne. The Evening Post has a leader on "Various Plana of Reconstruction," wherein it sees fit to nay: "Third There was the plan on which Mr. Jlorace Greeley and Mr. Montgomery Blair tmited, of universal and unconditional amnesty to the Southern leaders, without regard to the iuture of the negroes. Mr. Ureeley wrote, after Ihe election and when the Tribune had cast away the amendment: 'I am for universal mnnestY so far as immunity from fear of pun ishment or confiscation is concerned though impartial sutlrage should for the pre Kniit lo rexistid and dptVntprl.' Tha iik... iveninq Journal very tustly remarVed on this: He is lor amnesty without any condition what ever. Cutl'ee and the National debt set the an. toy together; the enlarged sutlrage and the cor-TM-tPd basis of representation are surrenderor! in common.' T'8 Greeley-Blair scheme has not Lad much success witn tue puonc. "The favorite scheme ot Mr. Greeley and Mr, JJlaLr, of Immediate, universal, and uncondi ngLDAILY KVENING TOLEGRAPn.rmLADELPmA, TUESDAY, tlonal ninnotf y to the Southern leader, without any consideration lor the neuroog, was simply one ot those cowardly mirrrndnrn for which Mr. Greeley Is no'orlous. As ho followed Mr. Va laiidleliani's policy at Intervals during tne, war, so ho continues uow to lollow the had of that shining patriot,'' My rarefully written article on "The True Basis of Reconstruction," whereon the rod bases itschnrpes above, appeared in the Daily Jribune of November 27. In that article I said: "I commend Impartial snfTrsne as required by the true interest oi all concerned; yet I cannot admit thwt it is a matter iu which the North has no rightful concern. The blacks are a por tion not nieielv'Of the Southern but of the American people. They played an important and beneficent part in our great civil war. W cannot ignore the obligations springing from our neeesity and their loyalty. I hold that honor and good lalth absolutely constrain those who triumphed in that S'rupcle to take care that their humble supporters and baekor ohnii not be made to sull'cr tor tHklng the side of the Union. To say now, in view of the recent past, 'Let the Southern negroes have such rlo-hta only as their white flate Rebel) fellow-cirizpna shall see lit to accord them,' would be ingrati tude aud pcrridy sueh as might well invoke Hip lightnings of Heaven. No matter at what cost, we ot i be North must take caro that thn Hnnth. em blacks are not lelt at the mercy ot that diabolic spirit which manifested itself through the lute massacres of Men phis and New Or- leaus. w it is proved unsafe to trust lo local authority and opinion, which niav be right to-day and wrong to-morrow; we must piuee lue esut;imm ripius oi every Amerioau mizen undir the express guard lau-ihi d ot the Federal Constitution. That will be the end of controversy; until then, even unsuccessful at tempts to abridge them will prove a grave and peneral calamity. "I hnve said that I (avor both universal am nesty and impartial sutlrage on tueir respective minis, eitcu w iitiutii renaru io me otuer. l hold that the North Is bound to insist on man hood sutlrage not in the South only, but in every State and Territory because of the ser vice required of and rendered bv the blacks in putting down the Rebellion that it would be perhdy and baseness, in view ot all the facts. ot to insist ou tins. 1 hold the .soutn bound to accord sutlrage to the blacks, as an importaut and useful, though humble portion ot her people, whom It is her interest as well as her duty to conciliate and satisfy, even tLough the North did not dedire it. There is no conflict , between the interests and duties of the North on hup side and the South on the other what is best for each, or either, Is b'.-st lor both the ouly coll it-ion is between the t respective resent- . mcntb and prejudices. The Noith wants to keep at least the leading Rebels under ban iudeti nitclyjthe South that is, a majority of the ! dominant ca'te ut the South wants to'keep the negroes under tooi despised, powerless, and olteu abused bv ths white rullians, whose crimes the better class disavow, but neither prevent nor p-inish. The loyal North has demonstrated her ability to keep (he Rebels out of Congress; the Rebel S uth hn like ise proved her power to prevent indefinitely the due ratifi cation of the Constitutional amendment. This (lead lock alfords to thoe whom 1 must consider the more cenerousand lar-seeing nnndsol either j section an opportunity which, once lost, may never return. Even thjuh the South were able to force her leaders into Congress, they could not hope for lull restoration to power and pub lic lavoi;even though the North were able to force impartial suffrage on the South, it would prove oi little value w hile resisted by a strong majority of the dominant caste there. But let North and South strike hands on the basis of ' universal amnesty with impartial Butlraue, and , the resulting peice will be perfect, all-em- i bracing, and enduring. Each section will gain , ever j thing and lose really nothing. i "It the South shall insist on "her abstract I right to hold the blacks as a subject race, the i North will doubtless insist on the indefinite dis franchisement of all the prominent Rebels, and ! matters will thus go on as they have gone on ,' for ihe last year. must still cherish my opinion that this is unwise; but I shall stand ; with my own people, while awaiting the calmer and wiser view that I am confident must tilti- i mutely prevail. The disinterested will sav, 'Let ! the Rebels remain uuder Hip ban so long as they insist on keeping the blacus there' and they will say so with ample reason. If the ad justment I urge should ultimately fail. and. in the mutations of party ascendancy, the Rebels should be let up and the blacks be kept down, ; I hall regret it as much lor the sake ot the i South as ot the North; and I shall feel that the : blame does not all attach to the South. And, whatever the immediate issue, I .-diall bate no jot of heart or hope that at last and at no , very distant day our people will be thoroughly : hniraonized and united on the basis of impartial auu universal froedoui. u. a." j The reader has now before him what I did urge, and what the Post says I proposed. I I make no comment. If the PosVs charge is ! well founded, tha is now plain. If it is a wil- j ful, villauous untruth a lie with deliberate in- I tent to injure that, likewise, appears. I do j not say what it is. Read both sides and judirc. But a word as to -'cowardly surrenders." j Let us be clear on that point. ' When our last State election had resulted in a complete Republican triumph, a number of influential inends united in proposing me as a candidate for the United States Senate. They did not ask me to do anything to favor such election; they urged only that I should stand by the Constitutional amendment aud say nothmsr about universal amnesty. If 1 would they leit assured that I would be surely, over! wbelmingly chosen. I could' not stand on the Constitutional amendment, so long as there should be a hope ot doing better, mainly !ecaue it ali'orded no adequate guarantee-, for the protection and en franchisement ot the blacKs. I telt that a far broader basis was necessary to a true, benefi cent reconstruction a basis which should incite mem. ijhu.v oi me oouuicrn peopti', both white aud black, to go to work, in the lull assu rance teat their rights ot person and property would be full v protected. And, while I wotild gludly have deferred to my friends who very probably, overrated my strength with the people ol our State, but who suielv meant m serve me I felt constrained to put forth tha article id November 27ih. I presume no nno will assert tbat I supposed it would improve mv chance for the Senaiorship. 1. knew quite weil that it would probably be so used as to render my election ini possible. Where, then, was the cowardice? I certainly did hope that some eood would result Irom my distinct avowal that I was for universal amnesty (not political restoration! any Low, which lias not jet been rtalized. I knew that there were manv leading Southerners who were as fully convinced as need be that im partial sutlrage Is a beneficent necessity. These are, lor the most part, kept dumb by the con stueration that they are under the ban, and may te supposed to favor black enfranchisement nom a selfish desire to rescue their property irom conhscatiou and themselves from proscrip-w- ylYed, so far as 1 had power, to place ;lo l'Tuthp-vcouW speak out for impartial flm iwVlh. elte;t- 1 uPed. moreover, that forthon . ml!

In view of these facts, it has been vain iorthe opponents ot a Bankrupt law t taunt its udvecates with attempting to white wash Soutl ern insolvents at the expeuse ot our own merchants by an exceptional measure.

A single tfrm here might be named that stands to-dav, and is able to stand, a larger creditor of the South thau some provincial towns of great felt importance, that have been fussy and furious over giving the South any atvuntaae from a Bankrupt law. Yet, with such a record as this, New York, throush her representatives, through her Chamber of Commerce, and through the petitions of her merchants, her mauuueturers. her professional men, and her citizens generally, has led the way in urging legislation on the question. New York, too, has had tiie ecutiment ot a vast majority oi the whole country with her. The opposition which has thus far prevailed mainly oy resort ing to tricks to delay action has chieily beeu the opposition of cliques and coteries more skilled in partisun wartare, and more devoted to sectional aims, than controlled by large and liberal views ot public duty. Thi measure, it may bo safely predicted, will now become law without further delay. The Ocean Vac lit ltace Iu Asia aud Africa. From tho World.
