A President Declining Ego.
Those who have taken the trouble to road
Mr. Johnson's late speeches must hare been
Struck by their exceeding tamenesa. There Is
Ho depth of thought, no vivacity of senti
jnent, no felicity of language about them.
Ihey are commonplace and barren to a re
jnarkable degree. Even In his speech upon
Masonry, delivered at the great Masonic cele
bration in Boston a theme and an occasion
Which ought to have Inspired him to elo
quence there ia a poverty of thought and
expression absolutely painful to contemplate.
The only thing, aside from himself, that
Eeemed particularly to impress hla mind, was
the fact that the Masons had paraded the
Streets in full regalia, and nobody had insulted
them I This seems to have been so unusual
A thing in Mr. Johnson's experienoe, that his
Inind dwelt upon it. Perhaps, had he always
lived in Boston, the scene of a procession
quietly passing the streets without jeers would
not have been so new or strange to him.
But whatever poverty of thought Mr. John
Son may exhibit upon ordinary topics, there is
one subject upon which lie never fails to have
loth ideas and language, and that is himself.
His egotism is boundless. What he has done,
and said, and been, from alderman up his
devotion to principle, his consistency, his
courage, his conscientiousness, and all his
Other virtues, are the themes of his never
ceasing remark. No matter what the occasion
or the circumstances, his mind naturally and
inevitably falls into this train of thought. In
this Boston speech, for instance, there are but
four sentences that do not contain the per
sonal pronoun referring to himself. lie tells
the audience first how thankful he is for the
reception accorded him. lie next exouses him
self for not addressing them, and immediately
proceeds to address them at length. Next he
alludes to the fact that he has witnessed an 1
participated in many Masonio celebrations, in
Which he has heard jeers and taunts cast upon
the members for applaring in their proper
attire. lie then adds that he should not have
Visited BoBton on this occasion had it not been
for the Masonio Order. Fearing, apparently,
that this statement might not be fully
credited, he adds that he came in good faith for
the express purpose of witnessing the dedica
tion of the Temple, and to give it his
countenanoe and sanction. And in the
next sentence he amusingly asserts
that in this that is, in going
to Boston as "in most things in which he
lias participated," he has first satisfied his
conscience that he wa3 right, and then "left
consequences to take care of themselves."
This sentence was evidently lugged in to allow
Mr, Johnson to boast of his conscientiousness,
not so much in this trip to Boston as in those
'most things" in which he has participated.
He next runs back to the idea that he had
not intended to make a speech, asserting that
What he had said was by way of episode.
But his mind still dwelling upon himself, he
evidently supposes others to be thinking of
Lis speech-making faculties, and adds that
there are some, perhaps, who would not be
prepared to conoede that he was "not loqua
cious." But he avers " I am not, as a gene
ral thing, however, very garrulous or loqua
cious." Btarted on a new tack by these re
marks, but still thinking of himself, he goes
on to say that what little talking he has done
Las been from necessity rather than from
choice. But it has only been on great occa
sions that he has talked. " When truth,
when principle, when my country, when the
great cause of the human family was at stake,
I have spoken." With Mr. Johnson's speeches
made last summer, in his notorious swinging-round-the-eircle
campaign, before him, one
might well suppose this passage to be ironi
cal; but it is not. It is pure, simple egotism.
It is Mr. Johnson setting himself up as the
defender of truth, principle, his country, and
the human family.
lie next is apparently about to discuss the
principles of Masonry, for he says: "I believe
that the great principles of Masonry are
synonymous with the jjreat principles of free
government." But this is only half the sen
tence, and is merely introduced to pave the
Way for him to add "and if my brothers will
examine my public career from my advent in
political life to the present time, think they
will find that I have been true to both." Still
harping on himself, still boasting, still declin
ing But he is not yet done. lie next informs
them that he is personally a stranger to Massa
chusetts, but still her "intimate friend and
acquaintance," and that politically, when
"these great principles" come up, men who
Understand them can act in harmony. lie has
' never failed to defend the Order even in its
most trying ordeals. And here he leaves the
Order and swings around to the more conge
nial subject of himself alone. He says: "I
care not whether it is religion or politios, or
Loth combined, in the pursuit and in support
Of a correct principle I have never hesitated to
express my views., Hive for principle, lam
devoted to principle, and I take fresh courage
from the demonstrations which have been
made to-day," eto. - And so with a fresh burst
of self-laudation and self-oongratulation this
Strange speech is brought to a close. From
Legiaalng to end, It is plain that Mr. Johnson
was thinking solely of himself. The Masonio
Order and its mngnifloent celebration were
merely a string upon whioh he could array
the shining pearls of his own assumed exoel
lenoies and virtues. Not Masonry, but Andrew
Johnson, was his real topio of thought and
speech. ' ......
Is this the language of true worth f Is a
man whose life has been so publio and yet so
consistent, so devoted to truth and prinolple,
obliged to be forever reminding the people of
these facts f Can't they see for themselves f
The very anxioty which Mr. JohnsotCao,. con
stantly displays in asserting his consistency,
argues a secret consciousness that he has not
been consistent, and that the people know it.
His very asseverations of innocence betray the
inward sense of guilt. His protestations of
devotion to principle reveal the conscious
want of it. If a man's course has been con
sistent, straightforward, upright, honest, and
patriotic, he don't need to be telling everybody
of it. The people Are intelligent. They
know the positions that publio men have held,
the principles they have advocated, and the
record they Lave made. If Mr. Johnson's
present position is consistent with the one
he held when nominated and elected by the
Union party; if the principles he now main
tains are those he then maintained; if he is
the same "Moses" to the colored raoe now
that he was, or promised to be, when he made
his celebrated speech to the colored people of
Nashville; if he believes now as he did when he
publicly urged the confiscation of Rebel estates,
and the dividing up of their vast domains;
if all these things are so, the people are suf
ficiently intelligent to know and appreciate it,
without Mr. Johnson's so constantly taking
the witness-stand in his own behalf. On the
other hand, if these things are not so, no
amount of palaver, to speak plainly, on the part
of Mr. Johnson will suffice to change the
public judgment of his position and conduct.
In the future he will consult his own dignity,
as well as that of the office he holds, by ex
hibiting a greater reticence in regard to him
self. The Presidents of the United States
have generally been men of great personal
dignity, and who knew how to receive those
courtesies and attentions which are due to the
office without thrusting their personal virtues,
achievements, and records generally before the
public. Let the present incumbent imitate
their excellent example.
Speech of Major-General Rawlings.
General John A. Raw-linos, Chief of Staff to
General Grant, was called upon to deliver a
speech to the citizens of Galena, Illinois, and
in response addressed them at great length.
The opinions of General Rawlings, even did
he not hold the position he does, would be of
interest, as he is a brave soldier and an able
lawyer. But his close and intimate relations
with the General-in-Chief give to his words a
semi-official ntterance from that officer. We
cannot say that the contents of the address
are very committal. He reviews the war and
its causes, and favors in extenso the Constitu
tional amendment. Speaking of the Recon
struction bill, he says: '
"If a State by Us own wrong loses its republican
form of yovernmcnt, the United States is in duty
bound to restore it. Jf a Ntute refuses protection to
its citizens, the United Mates must afford it. To
-llecl UieHe purposes Has boeu the aim of the
United Biates lu tlie late content. - The Civil
Hluhts bill resulted. Tue execution of this
being imperfect, tbe Heoonstructlon bill iol
lowed. Tue object and purpose of tliese acts
cannot be deemed uncoustltuLional, fur they
are In tbe nature of an execution issued by a
Court upon a judgment or decreo, arrived at
after a full bearing. The Government being
possessed of all the evidence in the case, bad,
as lu an action at law, delivered a Judgment,
and upon non-compliance with a decree, a
posse comitalus, the army, bad been called Into
enforce the execution. Beyond a doubt it was
necessary to use the military for this purpose, and
under the Constitution that necessity is to be, and
has been, Judged of by tbe proper authorities."
The General strongly supports the bill, and
argueB at length in its favor. It is not impos
sible that, although so intimately connected
with General Grant, General Rawlings may
hold vtlws diametrically opposed to his supe
rior. But it is much more probable that
his views coincide with those of the soldier
with whom he has so long served. Could
the country receive a clear expression of
opinion from the chief military hero of the
war, it would tend to allay that uneasiness
which the unsettled political condition of the
country naturally creates.
Woetht of the Premier. At Boston the
following incident occurred, which reflects
great credit on the dignity of the Secretary of
State. Among other incidents, an old man
familiarly addressed Secretary Seward, and
said, "How are you, Billy ?" The Secretary
responded, "Very well, thank you; how are
you f " The old man replied, with much good
humor and emphasis, "Bully 1"
This may seem rather strange to some, but
then, probably, Hamilton, Clay, Earl Derby,
or Lord John Russell would have done the
same thing under like circumstances.
Explicit. Mr. Johnson's reply to a speech
of welcome in Boston, returned thanks "in
behalf of the people I represent." . We won
der where they can be found f Probably all
Mr. Johnson's constituency were along with
him, for we doubt if they extend beyond his
private secretaries and himself. t
Speaker Colpax has written a letter calling
on all the members of Congress to be in their
seats on the 3d of July. To him will cornea
response from all those loyal Representatives
who are this side of the Rocky Mountains. We
consider the session an assured fact. '

No. 8H5 llroariwuy. New York, June 23. 1367.
To thk Kditok or Tim Nw Vokk IIkhai.d:
I notice In to day's Issue of your paper the stato
ment Hint a suit has been commenced for an Injunc
tion against the Merchants' Union Express Company,
"lor a receiver of lie property, on the grounds of the
reckless suuandeilng of tlio money of the Company,
lis present insolvency, and the attempt on the part ot
a portion of tho ollice-s of the Company to eff ect for
their own benefit a secret aid clandestine arrange
ment lor winding up the Company."
It is not (rue ibat any suit of this character has been
commenced aeainst this Company; but a summons
and complaint were yesterday served on me Indi
vidually, In the City of Auburn, wherein tbe above
charges, with many others equally false and ridicu
lous, were set lorth.
The complaint is but a part of the tactics of the
enemy, being a tissue of falsehoods, and every male
rial allegation tbereln la utterly and recltleiaty
untrue.
Tbe proceeding, although taken in tbe name of an
Individual, Is evidently Instigated and oonl rolled by
tbe managers of tho old Express monopolies, and an
unsciuDU bus ring of stock-Jobbers, who have, from
tbe date of the organization of this Company, sougtit,
by every device, to depreciate Its stock, and shake tbe
faith of Its stockholders and the public In the value
of the stock.
Relieving this to be tbe fact, we shall Interpose no
obstacle to a full and complete Investigation; but,
on the contrary, we shall court such Investigation,
wl.en we shall disprove every material allegation
in the complaint, and satisfy toes as well as friends
that Hie fails tet foith In the recent report of our trus
tees are literally true.
ha far from the company being Insolvent, tbe fact is
that it owes no debts, aud never has owed any; and
there has never been a day si me the opening of Its
lines when tiers have not been several hundred
thousand dollars in its treasury.
lis business was never more prosperous tban to-day,
and Its receipts have rapidly luci eased Irom the date
of commencement up to this time, and during the
same time the receipts of the old companies have as
rapidly diminished. The returns to the United States
revenue otllcer show these facts. From them, as
published It appears ' bat the receipts of the Mer
chants' Union for the single month of May Just passed
were greater thau those ever earned by any Express
Company In the ame time, and wore within about
tmuu ot tbe receipts of tho American Express
!oropany for the whole of last quarter, e nbraciug
January, February, and March, and for the month of
March last were grea er than the receipts of the
United biates and . American Express Companlei
combined.
No company of Its magnitude was ever managed
ard operated with grea'er care and economy.
it Is running more miles ol line, and doing a latger
business, and Is better equipped, thau any other ex
press company lu the United Stales; and Its slock is
without doubt Intrinsically worth far more than that
of any other express company.
Touching tbe "secret and clandestine" arrangement
referred to. it Is simply ridiculous, as well as reos
lesNly and wantonly untrue.
The complaint will be answered at once, and the
case forced to a trial at the earliest day.
