Ills Mistake and Present Oppurtuul
tlc. JVoni the JlrraHl.
Under the lights of history tlm aiiminintra
tion of Mr. Johnson lias ho far lieen a bmlgttt
f blunders. His first mistake was one of
mission, and w locate it on the l.itu day
of Ainl. 18U5. the dav on which he was
Bworn into oflice. Abraham Lincoln had lived
to 8o the Hubjugation of the armies of the
llchelliott, and had been received in triumph
among the smoking ruins of liichmond. The
work of destruction had substantially ended,
and the task of reconstruction confronted Mr.
Johnson from the moment after he had taken
the Presidential oath. An this business ex
clusively belonged to the sovereign legislative
l.raneh of the Government, the first duty and
the first stroke of sound policy which ought to
Jiavo occurred to the mind of Mr. Johnson was
a proclamation calling an extra session ot
Con-less. As the law then stood, without
such a call the recess (short session), which
had commenced on the 4th of March, would
last till the first Monday in December, (seven
months and a half were still before Mr. John
flon to act, witli or without Congress, as ho
jnight determine; and in determining to ap-
propriate this long interval to the develop
ment of his own policy, in forestalling and
superseding the rightful authority or ( on
press, ho committed his first and greatest
plunder.
Through all the summer and autumn of
3S(i,r), however, while assuming ami exercising
the exclusive powers of Congress in the work
ing up of his provisional Southern State esta
blishments, he still pleaded the constitutional
plea of the supervising and sovereign jurisdic
tion of Congress. In his first messige (De
cember, lMi'i) to the two Mouses, this sovo
Teign authority was conceded in the attempt
that was made'to evade it. It was not till the
2A1 of February, lSo'i!, however, in that
famous stump speech from the White House,
that the first tilt against Congress was made
ly Mr. Johnson, and in this his hostility was
limited to such violent radicals as Stevens
and Sumner and "the dead duck" Forney.
Ju fact, running through the last April Con
necticut election, and down to the adoption of
the pending Constitutional amendment hyCon-pi-H.-s,
the position of Mr. Johnson was that of
a Republican President who intended to light
out his fight against the extreme radicals
Within the lilies of the party. Had he adhered
to this resolution, in falling in with that ,
amendment, be might still have become mas- j
tcr of the situation; but just here he com-
Diitted another disastrous mistake to himself i
in appealing from Congress to the people, dis
astrous especially from the way in which he
pushed this appeal.
His Philadelphia August National Conven
tion was an offensive mockery, an incongru
ous jumble of dead heads, adventurers, crudi
ties, and curiosities. Instead of serving him
any good purpose it broke up his independent
national party programme, and left him at the
mercy of the helpless remnant of the Chicago
Democracy. Then followed that melancholy
pilgrimage to the grave of Douglass, of itself a
great budget of blunders, a stumping tour
which, in connection with the Memphis and
Ttfew Orleans massacres, brought down upon
Jlr. Johnson and his policy that tremendous
avalanche of Congressional Republican ma
jorities which last fall swept the country from
Jlaine to California. Here, however, was an
other chance of salvation to the Executive in
the acceptance of the verdict of the people,
and in falling in with the policy of Congress
which they had so emphatically approved.
Hut this verdict, which he had sought, he
Utterly ignored in his annual message of last
December, and still discussed the saving
Virtues of his own condemned anl exploded
heresies of restoration.
The repudiation, then, of all his two years'
labors, and their results in the work of South
ern reconstruction, with a new beginning from
.Appomattox Court House, was the onlyalter-
ijanvo icu iu congress, involving, it neces-
nary, the impeachment and removal of the i
President himself. Over half-a-dozen vetoes, I
more or less, this sweeping work of recon- !
Btruction has been consummated. Mr. John
eon, completely deteated at every point, and '
With the sword of impeachment btill hanging !
over his head, is now left to the test of the '
execution of these laws. What, then, are his
opportunities for the redemption of his admin- 1
ist ration?
His first opportunity is that which is offered
Lini to-save himself in seeing these recon
struction laws of Congress "faithfully exe
cuted." We are gratified with the evidences
Wore us of his good intentions in that direc
tion. Jiut, bound tast the new tenure of
vmce in uio maiier 01 ins patronage, and pla ced
in the grip of the Secretary of War, is not the
jixecuuve reduced to a mere automate n? In
this
business of bouthern reconstruct! fin liu
may be, but there are other questions open to
Mr. Johnson, such as our future financial
policy, including taxes, tariffs, bonds, banks,
currency, retrenchment, and reform; and our
foreign policy,embracinga settlement with Kng
land and a new and definite understanding with
all foreign powers upon commercial rights
J)elligerent rights, and neutral rights. On
these great questions Mr. Johnson, if he will,
may take the lead in shaping the programme
of the future dominant party of thenation
and in this way ho may still leave for his ad
ministration a good report in history. The
ground which he has lost, if we consider him
as playing the Presidential game of an aspirant
for another term, may not, perhaps, bo re
covered; but he has still a splendid margin
not only for totally eclipsing the administra
tions of Tyler and Fillmore, but for reviving
on a grander scale the old financial anti
monopoly party of (Jeneral Jackson.

disappeared. Some of them had vanished in
the presence of war, and others had been defi
nitely settled by tho result of the war. New
issues, new problems, new national wants and
necessities had arisen and demanded popular
action. The lines of existing party organiza
tions by no means defined with accuracy the
actual divisions of sentiment on theso new
problems. The Republican party was far from
being unanimous in support of the Sumner
and SjeVens theory of reconstruction, nor was
the Democratic party any more unanimous in
denouncing the war which had crushed rebel
lion, or in protesting against the "unconstitu
tional" process by which slavery had been
abolished. There was a general ferment in the
Miblic mind, a disposition to let tho past bury
its leal, auu vu uitoi, an iu emergency re
quired, the new issues and the new policy
which tho occasion demanded.
lint neither party was inclined thus to let
political power slip from its grasp. The
Union party naturally felt that it had carried
tho country through tho war, and that it was,
therefore, entitled to take the lead in measures
by which the Union should be restored. The
Democratic party felt that, the war being
over, they might avail themselves of the re
action which they predicted against debt,
taxation, and arbitrary rule, and regain the
power from which they had been so long ex
cluded. They accordingly adhered to their
old organization, followed their old leaders,
put in motion their old machinery, and under
their old party name renewed the old struggle.
The Philadelphia National Convention
offered a grod occasion for acting upon tho
iiolicv which the Aalional nirliunn r now re
commends. That Convention, in some of it9
leading features, responded to what was un
questionably a national sentiment. The fact
that leading men from both sections had
again met in friendly council, was of good
omen. The proceedings of the Convention ,
were characterized by dignity, good-feeling, :
and a patriotic desire for the public good. ,
The declaration of principles which tho Con- .'
volition adopted was acceptable to the great
mass of the people, and proved that both sec
tions were ready to accept the results of the
war, and to take, as fixed and irreversible, ,
the great principles and measures which tho
overthrow of the Rebellion had established, j
The Convention had laid down a platform
upon which the great mass of the people were :
perfectly willing and ready to stand; and if
proper action had been taken,- a national I
movement would have grown out of it by j
which the Union would have been restored, ,
and the policy of the nation marked out for '
many years to come. j
lint the Democrctic party would not con- j
sent to this. It saw in the Convention only a I
ladder for its own return to power. It resolved
to use it for its ow n advantage. It went into
the contest under its old name and its oij. ;
organization; put forward its old leaders; ap- ,
propriated the Philadelphia Convention as its I
own, and coolly invited those of tho Union i
party who accepted its principles and shared
its spirit, to help them prostitute both to the
restoration of the Democratic party to power.
In Pennsylvania they had nominated, in the
narrowest and most selfish party spirit, '
lleister Clymer, one of the most obnoxious
anti-war Democrats of the State, for Governor; ;
and far from seeing the wisdom of changing
this action to meet the new state of things .
which the Convention had created, found in '
that Convention fresh hope of success and a
fresh motive for adherence to their party pur-
pose. In this State they rejected, with osten
tatious contempt, General Dix, because of his j
support of the war; nominated for Governor a
Democrat of the straitest sect; adopted a plat- j
form which no Republican could possibly sup
port without stultifying himself, and in this '
spirit entered upon tho canvass. In Ohio,
Indiana, and the West in general, the party
acted in the same temper. Instead of dis
carding "old party names and stale issues,"
they blazoned both upon their banner, and
marched to inevitable defeat. j
For the people had neither forgotten nor
forgiven tho part played by tho Democratic ,
party during the war. As an organization '
in all its corporate action it had been tho i
virtual ally of the Rebellion. It had de
nounced the war for its suppression, and to .
the extent of its ability, antl within the limits
where such action was safe, it had done every
thing it could to render it abortive. The
people would not, under any pretext, return
such a party to power. Whatever distrust
they might have of men and measures in the
Union ranks, they preferred the chances of
both to the certain results of confiding the
Government to Democratic hands. The Presi
dent, by taking the stump for the Democratic
ticket, greatly strengthened this sentiment.
His speeches not so much the opinions and
principles they embodied as the temper and
spirit which they evinced alarmed and re
volted the public sense, and contributed
powerfully to the defeat of the Democratic
party.
If the Democrats cling to this narrow and
pel fish policy, they may reasonably count on
the same result. Prominent and intluential
men in the Union ranks are doing much to
disgust and alienate public confidence in the
Union party but they will never quite suc
ceed so long' as the only alternative presented
is the return of the old Democratic Bourbons
to power.
Mr. Abbott's Coup il'Ktat.
From the Tribune.
It isn't every Yankee who can storm the
doors of the Imperial -palace, and intrench
himself in the Imperial closet ; and it is a
little mieer that while the royal residence
has been broken into oftener than any other
human habitation in Paris, the person to
break into it tin most successfully should
be an American clergyman. Other visitors
in other times the august occupant ot me
hour would have kicked out, if he could ; but
our conquering compatriot was received, as
he takes pains to inform us, "with tne mosi
gratifying cordiality." Chronology is not
without its coincidences. It was in February
that Napoleon 1, having smashed the Council
of Five Hundred, went to housekeeping in
the Tuileries ; it was also in February that
the Rev. John S. C. Abbott, called upon
Nnrv.iu ur tt,,, h.nviner the presence,

tions and detailing the pet wVlc,hAie,. f
upon this thrilling occasion. '1 hw letter, as a
matter of course, the friend ha sent to tne
newspapers-a perfectly proper V""
Why should the social circles of New Haven
Lav. a monopoly of this interesting produc
tion? Why should such a contribution to
history Ye7 hidden in anybody's breeches
pocket f WThy should the public be cheated
out .1 Yha delights of this charming epist e
Wu have only one fault to find. The letter
should have been published in Marj.er', Mg
zin with pictorial illustrations. "He re
ceTv'ed xne ty the fireside," says Mr. Abbot ,
ouohlngPy. picture of the fireplace with
i. American upon one ide and tm
great Frenchman upon the other, would have
1 sold an enormous edition of the magazine.
Considering all that thoy have done for Mr.
Abbott, the Frabklin-squaro people have a
reasonable right to complain that the I. ivy of
their pages did not send the narrative directly
to them; and there is a ploasuro in thinking
that ho lias a more elaborate cll'ort (with cuts)
in reserve.
The first thing which his Imperial Majesty
did after receiving Mr. Abbott "in one of the
interior parlors ot the palace," was to thank
hiin for writing the Life of Napoleon I, and
"for the justice done by my pen to the lim
peror." That so great a man should be
obliged to wait for historical justice until the
advent of so small a one, will remind the
; reader of the lion who was caught in a net,
' and of tho mouse who liberated tho mighty
! prisoner. A large number of Frenchmen
have expatiated upon tho glory of the Fmpe
I ror, but Mr. Abbott has been the first to raise
' him to the rank of a moral and religious char
acter; and it is this which makes the perusal
of the "Life" a perpetual and amusing sur
prise. The apologies of Mr. Abbott have the
relish of comedy. We are always looking
forward to the mollification of murder, and
are constantly curious to know by what fine
name the next villany will le dignified.
We revel in the metamorphosis of falsehood,
and, after the execution of the Due d'Kngheiu
lias received Mr. Abbott's extenuations, wo
have perfect confidence in his Old ll.iiley
capacity. We do not remember that Mr.
Abbott has occasion to mention the fondness
ot his hero for cheating at cards; but if it had
been necessary, he is just the writer to prove
conclusively that his Majesty revoked to the
glory of God, and made misdeals for tho honor
of Franco. Mr. Abbott is not one of the
greatest, but he is one of tho most unscrupu
lous of the new school of historical white
washers, who start with the presumption that
the world has been all wrong, and who show
their skill and ingenuity by setting it right.
It is to be regretted that professional delicacy
has prevented him from trying his hand upoil
the devil. There are yet neat things to be
said in behalf of that sable personage, whose
deeds, it is true, were evil, but whose talents
were of the highest order. He met one dark
day with his Waterloo pray how long must
he wait for a sympathetic historian ?
Mr. Abbott, being lace to face with the Em
peror, made a long speech, of which he in
serts a report in his letter. The subject of
this speech was the life and adventures of
Louis Napoleon. "When I reflect," said Mr.
Abbott, "upon the birth of your Majesty in
Paris," etc. etc. The historian must have
gone on reflecting for about half an hour. He
reflected upon Strabourg and Jionlogne, upon
the Castle of Ham, upon the Mexican ques
tion, and upon a numbur of other disagreeable
subjects; but the imperial host stood it all,
apparently wilbout irritation, and submitted
to be soaped with the best possible grace; nor
does he appear to have winced even when Mr.
Abbott most unnecessarily lugged in the cuiip
d'etat by the head and "shoulders, ami pro
tested that it was beautiful. P.ut this was not
all. Being in for it, this Christian minister
determined to go the entire animal. As he
had swallowed so much, he made no bones of
Mexico, vowed that it was a shame that the
Mexicans would not submit to Maximilian,
declared that his own Government "had made
a great mistake" in not lending moral support
to the Fnipire, and tli'n, being seized by a
spirit of prophecy, he .predicted "a state of
chronic anarchy" into which these most un
reasonable Mexicans must be plunged. Im
perial Majesty listened and "expressed his
assent." which was a very handsome thing to
do. He wonder what he was thinking
when he expressed it.
of
For sixty minutes, as lie informs us, did
Mr. Abbott remain closted with the monarch,
and during that time he made the following
sagacious discovery: "The Emperor looked
decidedly older than when I saw him fourteen
years ago." This is very singular. Pray,
did Mr. Abbott expect to find him looking
younger ? However, it is a comfort to know
that his Majesty does not grow stingy as he
grows old, for he presented to Mr. Abbott "a
copy of all his published works," which we
trust Congress will allow the donee to bring
home without paying any duty. "The Em
peror," says Mr. Abbott, "is, intellectually,
one of the most highly cultivated men in Eu
rope." It takes one man of genius to find out
another.
But we must bring our sketch of this pleas
ing event, so flattering to our national pride,
to a conclusion. Mr. Abbott has since been to
a public reception, and the Emperor shook
hands with him in the presence of four thou
sand spectators. Every one of them, no doubt,
half-mad with envy, "for," says Mr. Abbott,
"this was an honor which was not conferred
upon any one else." Three thousand nine
hundred and ninety-nine courtiers, brave or
beautiful, went to bed disgusted with life and
the coldness of their sovereign, while Mr.
Abbott (with the much-favored right hand,
which wo suppose he will never wash again),
sat down to write the record of his lofty luck
for the delectation of New Haven. It must
have been a severe trial of the humility which
we naturally look for in a Congregational
clergyman. Mr. Abbott must remember that
he is but a man 1
Depredating the Dead.
From the World.
The recent death of Jesse Iloyt, on whom
public attention was strongly fixed some
twenty years ago by the surreptitious publi
cation of his correspondence in the notorious
"William L. Mackenzie's pamphlets, incites a
writer in the Times to string together two
columns of gossip relating to tho New York
Custom House. It is written jn such a sham
bling, penny-a-line way, that it would deserve
no notice if it did not, in one passage, con
vey a totally false impression of the character
of an eminent citizen of this State, who filled
the highest offices both in the State and Fede
ral Governments. The passage to which we
refer is the following :

We are confident that this slanderous pas
sage escaped the notice of the editor of the
lunes, whose habitual courtesy to the living
may be taken as a guarantee that he would not
wantonly violate the decorum due to the dead
Even if what is here said of Mr. Van Buren
were true, it would be questionable taste to
"draw his frailties from their dread abode-"
but being the reverse of truth, it tends to mis
lead the younger class of readers, who are not
well acquainted with the politics and public
men of the last generation. So far from Mr.
Van Jluren being "a man of few friends,"
scarcely any of our statesmen has had more,
and none that we can call to mind was so much
indebted to personal friendship for his political
promotion. 1
In his own State, Mr. Van Ruren was the
soul and centre ol the famous "Albany Re
gency," whose memlicrs were never suspected
by friend or foe of any want of devoted attach
ment to each other In describing Mr. Van
Burcn'B earlier political career, Judge Ham
mond in his "Political History of New York
almost habitually speaks of "Mr. Van Buren
and his friends" (see Hammond .JiT), a on
of expression which conveys tn the re.ler tl
correct idea that he was a power in pol cs y
means of an able and attached follow in
Never was a man so little isolated iu polities'
as tho hading spirit of that powerful "Re
gency ' 1o pass from this cluster to indi
vidual instances, there is perhaps no friend
ship m the political history of the country so
noted or so disinterested as that of General
Jackson for Mr. Van Buren. Another me
morable instance is that of Silas Wright who
refused the Vice-Presidency solely on the
ground that his friend Van Buren had been
unjustly treated in regard to the nomination
for the higher office. We mention these in
stances becauso they are conspicuous; we
know not where in our history to look for
their parallel.
Mr: Benton's immediate resolution to brin
forward Mr. Van Buren as a candidate tor
ice-I resident when he was rejected as Minis
ter to England, is another well-known though
b ss remarkable proof of the zeal of Mr. Van
Buren's friends. Tho fact that in 1S44, not
withstanding his unsuccessful run in 140, he
was deleated in the National Convention only
by the trick of forging a date to a letter, and
adopting the two-thirds rule by the Conven
tion, demonstrates the warmth of personal
regard felt towards him by tho great body of
the party. Nor did ho experience kindness
only from political associates. A pleasant
personal intercourse always subsisted between
him and tho great Whig leaders, particularly
with Mr. Clay, with whom he was on jocular
terms, offering to bet suits of clothes on tho
result of elections, begging frequent pinches
of his lino maccaboy snuff, and warmly invited
by him to visit him and Mrs. Clay at' Ashland
alter retiring from the Presidency. At another
time we get a glimpse of Mr. Van Buren and
Washington Irving making a summer jaunt
together through the rural districts in a pri
vate carriage, and entertaining each other with
pleasant anecdotes and reminiscences. We
could lortify our contradiction with multi
tudes of minor instances, but the noted ones
we have given render otheis superfluous.
