Wk are not of those who affect to despise or discard the Constitution of the United States On the contrary, we regard it as the funda mental law of the land, as tindiug in its moral and polltioal force to-day as It ever was. We hold obedience to its provisions as among the highest duties of the citizen and the most Solemn obligations of the officer. And it is precisely because we hold these views, that we advocate and defend the Republican party and desire its continued success, and that we sup port the reconstruction policy of Congress, as Opposed to that of the President. We regard the Republican party as the great constitutional party of the country, and its permanent success as the only safe guar antee of the faithful execution of that great organio law of the nation. Especially in this contest with the President do we regard the Republican party as holding the high vantage ground of a constitutional position. For this Vrhole question, so far aa Mr. Johnson is con cerned, may be narrowed down to very Bmall limits. Both he and the Republican party unite in regarding the overthrow of law ful State Governments in the late Rebel States at the olose of the war, and a3 a eonsequenoe of it, to have been a fact accomplished. There la no disputing that point. Mr. Johnson's first message, laying down the outlines of his plan of reconstruction, expressly recog nizes the fact that there were no lawful governments in the late Rebel States. Indeed, the very fact of attempting recon struction at all, goes upon the assumption that lawful government had been overthrown. Now, granting this postulate, Mr. Johnson's case becomes at once a hopeless one. lie has not a shred of the Constitution to stand upon la bis whole subsequent course. On the con trary, his every act has been in the most open and flagrant violation of both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution; and notwith standing his multiplied and hypocritical ap peals to the Constitution, and asseverations of devotion to it, he stands before the country as Utterly regardless" of its obligations and defiant of its restraints. It is not necessary to use many words to place this in so plain a light that it cannot fall to command the conviction of intelligent minds. In the first place, under our form of gov ernment, the very fact that the President has areoognized and avowed "policy," which he Is endeavoring to force upon the country, is, In and of itself, a violation ofjt.lfg-gpirit of the Constitution. The PresidsaUa a mere execu tive. It is true hejg recommenj to Congress Buoh measureg; may aeem necessary and expedieriLInd he mav intemose a Qualified Against acts of legislation; but that is all. Having done these acts, his functions as affect ing legislation are exhausted. Beyond this he has nothing to do, but simply to execute the laws passed by the law-making power in the Government. The idea that the President may have a "policy," which he is trying to carry Out, which he uses the power and the patron age of the Government to build up, which he attempts by every device known to the chi canery of politics to render dominant over that adopted by the representatives of the people, is one utterly destructive of our system of government, and involves as flagrant a breach of the spirit of the Constitu tion, as an attempt to disperse Congress by foroe of arms would be of its letter. To allow the President f,o do this would be to let him practically usurp the legislative functions of the Government. For the power and patron age of the President have increased so enor mously with the growth of our country, that, if it were once conceded that he might originate and prosecute policies of legislative action, even though he were to confine himself, as Mr. Johnson has not done, to procuring their embodiment in laws regularly passed, the in dependence of the legislative body would be fatally compromised. The President would thus practically make the laws as well as exe cute them. The requirement of the Constitu tion is that the "policy" of the Government shall be determined by Congress and executed by the President. But Mr. Johnson has no only had a "policy" purely his own, as op posed to that of the representatives of the people, but he ha3 also attempted to give that policy force and effeot, as law, outside of, and independent of, the legislative department of the Government. This fa usurpation. Every act done by Mr. Johnson ia the late Rebel States for which he did not haV)J the authority of law, was an act of usurpation. nj3 wholg attempt to create State Governments comes under this category. Where is the law which authorized him to create the offloe of pro. visional Governor, and then, having oreated it to appoint men to fill it without tii V 1L0 and consent of the Senate ? Where is the law which authorized him to issue proclamations fixing the qualifications of voters, calling conventions, and arranging all the para, phernalia of State Governments ? Mr. Jolm Bon did all these things, and he did them without the authority of law. They were acts of legislation, designed to stand as perma nentj and to affect the destinies of N millions of people. They were acts of legislation, by which the President attempted to settle, in accordance frith hi owa views, aud by big owa mere tps6 JI,,EVENICr TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 18G7. dixit, the vastest political problem ever pre sented to this nation to solve. It was an attempt by one man, without authority, and in defiance of the Constitution, to oontrol the practloal results of a great war in whloh a million of American citizens had laid down their lives I It is against such a gigantio and overwhelm ing desecration of the Constitution as this that the Republican party has arrayed itself. It is against this most flagrant and dangerous usurpation that it invokes the judgment of the Ameiican people. The Claims of the Democratic Party to the Soldier' Votes. Tiik Democratic party, in the vain hope of obtaining the votes of our patriotic soldiers, have placed three Genet aU in nomination for important positions in this city. These Gene rals, apparently false to those high principles for which they drew their swords, have allowed their names to be used as standard bearers, and have accepted and endorsed the platform, of this organization. The fact of soldiers being upon one ticket and civilians upon another, does not make a soldier issue. The Demo cratic party, ever working by the most insi dious means, has resorted to this side issue to lead the minds of voters away from the great and all-absorbing struggle now going on be tween Andrew Johnson and the Representa tives of the people. This, then, is the true issue, no matter who may win a local office, whether one man shall hold despotio sway over a whole country, or whether that man shall execute power in accordance with the law of the land. If the soldiers and the loyal people of this country can forget the past, they are the strangest people on record. From the moment the firs4 gun was fired on Sumter till the present time, we have been subjected by the Democratic party to more abuse, taunting, and reviling, persistent and bitterly kept up, than the Huguenots of Franoe or the Puritans In Eng land. They asserted the war wa3 a crime, that it was a dastardly attack upon the civil and political rights of the South; they declared it was a failure, and ought to cease; they opposed the issue of bond3 to pay the debts of the nation; they opposed all measures to recruit the exhausted ranks of the army; they furtheroppo3ed the payment of bounties, and the founding of hospitals and asylums for our wounded, suffering, and crippled sol diers and sailors. This is the reoord of their legislation, whilst their papers and magazines hissed at us with the most malignant hatred. They vilified and traduced our Generals, looked sad when our armies were victorious, and secretly chuckled at Rebel victories; so that, whilst fighting treason with one hand, we were holding by the throat these cowardly baokbiting sympathizers with the other. "O shame, where is thy blush 1" for a party with such a record to ask for the soldiers' vote. They were in sympathy with the secessionists before the war; and the legal adviser of James Buchanan the same man who to-day is mani pulating Andrew Johnson told the Rebels to do as they pleased, break up the Union, steal Government property, murder Union citi zens, and confiscate their houses and lands; it was all right. The Constitution which was all powerful to protect the rights of the hum blest citizen abroad, was utterly impotent to protect those rights at home. The secession ists, thus encouraged, and led to look for aid and comfort from Northern Democrats, did secede. Then rose the mighty heart of the loyal masses all over the country, and it swore a religious oath that treason should be vanquished, and that with it slavery and State right3 should pass into history. How well this has been done, let the record of the soldiers tell. This is a splendid organization to receive the endorsement of the soldiers ! A party which has spit in the face of the soldier a party which reviled the soldier, "wagging their heads" a party which traduced and vilified the soldier, and now they say, "for all these courtesies" the soldier will vote the Democratic ticket. Ay, when the soldier has lost his recollection or has lost his honor 1 The Soldiers Declare for Themselves. On Sat0bpay evening a Convention of all the Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic was held in our city, and an authoritative exposi tion set forth which side the soldiers stand on in the battle about to be fought. They ut tered no half-and-half expressions of their views; they did not tamper or tack and veer. They gave a bugle note which will ring through the ranks of all our gallant volunteers, and find a response in the hearts of those who loyally fought for that Union again in danger. The following resolution declares where they can be found: -Whereas. At the present critical juncture in the political history of the nation, auy lack of sympathy with the parly whica espouses the principles to the success of which w nv .in. clured our devotion, uny supineuuKson the part of individuals, any aid rendered to the parly by whom those principles have been bitterly opposed, whether on the (round of perianal feeling or from other caus, or any failure to do all that uiuy oe in our power to uiu lu triumph of ihe political party wl may be In our power to uld lu perfecting; the le political pariy wuicu 1 re presents us, would be alike Inimical to the solonin tie- duration of our Oruer, iu Convention assem bled, and subversive of the great enis to eilect which we were called Into existence: therefore, "Bell declared, as thesenko of this Conven tion, that it is the solemn duty of every com rade of the Urand Army, of every true-hearted Boiuier, and of every other loyal voter, to devote every energy to seourlug such a triumph for eucu aud every candidate of the Union Kepub soiif rt 1" w.lu p,ove to tno nation that her at ti,? defenura her lu arms are ever ready, Drove lul?9 ' aU J"'"' considerations, to right!" uomluued loyally to the cause of Thus is the attempt of the Democracy to swallow up the soldiers, and delude them into giving their support to their party ticket, vtws o?u hY f 80llW of th inTe fil vWL,haV9 8e" their country vlws wl frntU eXpre8Slon f Boldiers Tab Prrridewct or GirtARn Colmwb. We have received a vulgar letter from some anon mons writer, assailing us in regard to our course in the removal of Major R. S. Smith from the Presidency of Girard College. The writer could not expect us to publish his illiterate production, as even he must know that the Police Gazette is the only journal which boasts of such contributions. Could we disoover the name of the correspondent, however, we would make place in our columns for the production over bis signature If he really desires to see his views in print, he can do so by furnishing us with his real name, and not over the signature of "Even handed Justice." That the enemies of Major Smith number such men in their ranks is but an additional reason why we deem our course of conduct correct. The truth is that the late President is a good Republican, although he is no politician; and as ho would not use his influence to aid the political tricksters for positions, therefore he was treated in the rude and unwarranted manner which disgraced the ten Directors who voted for his removal. In all lawful efforts to right the wrong done, the Major will have our entire support. Tub Successor op General Grant. There can be no longer a doubt that General Grant will be relieved from duty in the War Department, and that General James B. Steed man will be his successor. The Greeley letter is evidently a preparatory step to such a line of conduct. This letter places the Hon. Horace in another awkward position; in faot, all the actions of the philosopher have been but a succession of blunders. For the sixth time he will be compelled to again undergo the fear ful juggling operation of swallowing himself. No worse selection than Steedman could possi bly be made.

Resolved, That the noble self-devotion, the tr.in srendent ability, and the elevated patriotism so con stantly conspicuous lu the Hon. E. M. Stanton during the entire Ilebolllon, endeared him to the hearts of all who love their country , and sternly de mand that the Senate shall Immediately, upon re assembling, restore him to the position of Secretary of War, from which he was Improperly and Illegally removed.
