The Republican Party aud the Consti
tution. 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

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

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

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.

CITY OP PHILADELPHIA.
FHILADHM-HfA, Sept. II, 1H7.
At a special meeting of the Executive Committee of
the National Union Club, held this day, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered to
be published:
Devolved, That we oorrtlally approve the Recon
struction laws passed by the Thlrty-ninth and the
Fortieth Congress, and that we disapprove and de
plore the base and wicked measures by which Presi
dent Andrew Johnson, In violation of his oath of
office, Is endeavoring to prevent thi-lr execution.
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. '
Resolved, That the future peace and well-being of
our country require that the traitors who originated,
who aided, or who sympathised with the great Re
bellion, should never again be permitted to ocoupy
positions ot powei or trust In the Government.
Resolved, That we are In favor of a Judicious tariff
for the protection of American Industry, and sincerely
bore that another session of Congress will not pass
without its enactment.
Resolved, That we recommend to our fellow-citizens
to support, at the election In October, the candidates
nominated by the Republican Union Conventions for
city, county, aud State officers, believing that the
election of men of undoubted loyalty Is at the preseu'
time of exceeding Importance.
BesoIved.That the nomination of the Hon, HENRY
W. WILLIAMS forjudge of the Supreme Court, and
of the Hon. M. RUSSELL THAYEK forjudge of the
Court of Common Pleas, must meet the approval of
all who value high personal character, great legal
acquirements, and eminent business ability.
Resolved, That a party whose recognized loadors
declare Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jaclcson to be of
equal merit with George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson, is unworthy of the confidence of trne men.
Resolved, That the honor and prosperity of our
country require that the publlo faith should be pie
served Inviolate, and that the Interest and principal
of our national debt, incuired for the salvation of the
nation, shoTHd be punctually paid, according to the
bond.
Resolved, That the pestilent doctrine of State rights,
as announced by John C. Calhoun, and adopted by the
present Democratic loaders, Is Inconsistent with the
permanency of our Union aud destructive of all good
government.
Resolved, That In the present feverish and critical
condition ot public affairs. It Is extremely desirable
that In the approaching election every citizen should
lay aside all personal preference and prejudices, and
vote not merely to elect competent and loyal ofUoers,
but. also to express unmistakably his wishes respect
