A resolution for liiiperdimeut of the Presi
dent, the artlcli m to lie li -slU ou his reoeut veto
meet-age, Is pending hO'lonntan adjournment
01 the meeting to be held lo-ulnl.
A new impeachment of the President, a new
patching up of the Reconstruction act, and a
prolonged eesstlon of Congress, are deemed
Decenary to the salvation ot the political party
which bo lately bore itself with, an air of inso
lent triamph I Thrir fears are well-founded.
Their reconstructed State governments bid fair
to "return to plague the inventors." If
Congress will adjourn and leave things as
they stand, every Southern State can be
cariied for the Di-inocratie ticket, and if
Congtetis should prevent the counting of
the votes, the supetioiity of numbers
demonstrated at ,tbe polls will constitute
a preponderance of physical strength against
which it will be vain to contend. Since
our Couvention, the Republicans understand
that the Democratic party is thoroughly iu
earnest, and i determined to briog this
reconstruction bnsiuess to an immediate
crisis. No outcry about "revolution" will
deter the Democratic party from doing its
Whole duty. We. have borne with patience
much that we would nut have borne at all,
but for the expectation of relief in this
Presidential election. The time has no
come when a majority of the people of the
Whole country will assert their "right to
control the Government of the country. If
the Republican party are a majority of the
Whole country, we will submit; if they are not
a majority oithe whole adult male population,
they shall submit, or eke "we will kuow the
reason why." If they exclude U3 from .the
polls, or refuse to count our votes, we shall be
none the ltss a majority in consequence of
Such exclusion, and being a majority, and
Laving the preponderance of physical strength,
the Democratic party will not be found so
Wanting in manhood as to be ruled by a reck
less, usurping minority. The Democratic
party ba3 been a majority of the whole people
for the last two years, and as we are pretty
certain to remain so until November, it may
as well be understood that we shall not there
after permit the minority to continue their
violations of the Constitution. If they refuse
to count our votes at the polling places, we
have arithmetic enough to count our own
sinewy arms.
The newest project of Congress is an attempt
to prevent our coming to a knowledge of our
own numbers, by causing the election to be
conducted under a reign of terror. Arms are
to be sent to all the States and given out by
the radical Oovernors to overawe Democrats
and prevent their voting. Senator Hendricks'
exposure of the design of this bill is well worth
reproducing:
Mr. Hendricks, Dem. (rnd.). In reply to the
remarks which had been made, hmiJ that he

out oi one parly to overawe (he otner, and Uui
control the eiccitou. All he asked was a fnlr
election, and lhat the people may vole without
hindrance, goveined by inelr own judgment.
Gen Urunt bad said, in llio last Kunumce of
his lelier accrptlbK the nomlnailun for the
l'rehldeiicy, ' We want pe-ice. Lo' us have

In the country. A fur this expression of ine
desire for peace on ihe part of the candidate of

a measure calciiltutd lo excite pusslon and
produce suite and pt-rhtps bloodshed. With a

that that parly demred pence. He hoped lhat
the President would exercise Ihe power he pos
sessed lo prevent thla bin from becoming a law.
The President owed I his not omy to his consti
tutional duly, but lo toe peace nd aulet of the
country. He Khoti d defeat a measure ho fall of
peril to the country, and which invited a con'
Cist between the whites and black".
The proposal of the Republicans lo resort to
such means of success, shows how little hope
Jhey have if they permit a fair election.
The Itond (jui'stiou.
From the N. Y. Timet.
Enough has transpired in the debates on
the Funding bill to prove the impolicy of
lsaving the bona question in its present
Shape. It is no longer a party question, or
one in which it is safe to ignore wide differ
ences of opinion among those who usually
get together. Ihe declarations of ait. cterens
in the House are not materially in ad
vance of Mr. Morton's in the Senate. Aud
the remark of Mr. lioutwell, on Tuesday, that
"according to the terms of the act of ltG2, it
does not appear beyond all cavil that w in y
not pay the bonds in greenback," has its
Ov-uuttrpart in llio testimony of Mr. SbmuHn
when introducing his scheme some months
ngo. Both are signs which it were oriminal to
neglect. W may pronounce both Mr. Bout
well and Mr. Sherman wrong, but by no dog
uiatirni cen we escape the fact that legislators,
nhofe desire Is to preserve unsullied the na
tional Integrity, confess the possibility of
doubts as to the precise extent of the oredi
torf' claim.
Tl e controversy is not simply unfortunate.
It ou k, ht not to have been alloved to arise; nor
would it have arisen had Congress fount time
tooiier to adjrist linauoial affairs on -a proper
basis. Whatever may be -said in regard to
the exact import of the contract, there can bs
no doubt that when the issue of bonds was
authorized, Congress entertained au honest
hope that before they reached maturity speoie
payment will have Wen resumed. There was
no dt-flte In any quarter to redeem the bonds
in a depredated currency, and no expectation
tl at the peiut would ever ooiue np in this
shape for settlement. Nor did anything ooour
to necessitate its consideration. The time
wl en it will become a necessity is several
years hence; and under ordinary circumstances
the pi ndeiit course would have been to leave
the question of paper or gold to be answered
at the maturity of the bonds. Ere then, we
may leasonably suppose, the dlsappearauce of
all difference In value between currency and
coin would obviate everything like the preseut
difpnle.
But, wisely or unwisely, the question has
bf en raided, aud in one way or auother must
be met. How? is the query which Congress
is trying to answer with au indifferent pros
pect of snccess. The method origiually sng
gesh d was the passBge of a resolution affirm
ing the obligation to pay the Five-twenties in
gold. But the carrying of such a resolution
if clearly impossible. We doubt whether the
Skiiate would adopt it, aud the House we are
sure would not. Equally certain is it that any
proposal to increase the amount of green
backs, with the view of paying off the debt,
would fall. For this, at least, let ns be thank
ful. The only apparently available method
is that of fuuding; aud, for many reasons,
we trust that the two Houses will not allow
the opportunity to go over without an earnest
effort to agree upon some basis that s'aall re
move the whole question fioui the arena of
contention.
Whatever popular fueling ex'sts on the sub
ject mpy be ttact-d to impatience uuder op
pressive taxation. The ontcry for taxation
of the bonds is undoubted iy attributable to
this circumstance; and so, tdio, to a conside
rable extent, is th-.i clamor for paymeut in
greenbacks. By issuing bonds at live or four
per cent, interest, according to duration, a
larger saving may be etiVeted than is attain
able by any other measure, while by making
the new bonds tpeciiically payable in coin,
an inducement is offered which prudent
holders of the present bonds should not long
neglect.
A strong effort on the part of both House
and Set ate to reach some ground of agreement
is, then, desirable, as well to lighten the bur
dens of the tax-payers as to close permanently
a contest which vitally affects the publio
credit. It is possible thus to reduce the
expenditure on account of interest not less
than one-li th or even one third say, on au
average, one-fourth of the present amount.
No other available plan of retrenchment com
pares with this in ease or efficiency.
Something is due, moreover, to the exigen
cies of the public credit. Just now, two seri
ous dangers menace the country. One is the
possible creation of diluculty iu the Southern
States by an attempt on the part of the Presi
dent to carry out the Blair doctrine. The
other is the development of prevailing dis
trust in foriuB productive of fiuauolal disaster.
The former of these contingencies seems to be
realized at Washington, and Congress will
scarcely separate until it has made adequate
provision against anything which Mr. John
son, with the help of the Democracy, may at
tempt. The financial exigency Is, however,
little less urgent, and it behooves Congress to
strengthen publio confidence by adjusting the
bond question in a manner mutually advan
tageous to the country and its creditors.
Nothing would help repudiation half so much
as a panic arising from the tears of foreign
bondholders, and the consequent jump in the
gold mar bet. And it is the duty of Congress
to use tie means at its command to prevent a
calamity seoond only to the success of the
Johnson-Blair programme. The country can
not affwrd to keep the bond question open.
Tlio Ucfiisant Senators.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The New York Times is not pleased with the
Inbune for what it calls our attacks upon
Senators who voted against impeachment. We
do not desire to attack any Senator for his
vote upon impeachment. It the Times would
read the Tribune carefully it would hud
that our whole aim hits been to see that thMe
Senators eceived ample justice. They did
President Johnson a great service, and iu the
interest of fair play we demaud that the Presi
dent shall pay his debts, and that the Senate
shall help him to do bo by eonhrming his nomi
nations. Thus we have done all we could to se
cure to the father-in-law of one of the Senators
the place of Commissioner of Patents, aud we
heartily join with the 'limes in deuouuoing
the eliort to prevent bis appointment as "par
tisan malignity." JVe supported the nomi
nation of Mr. Evarts, we were pained beyond
expression to And Mr. Staubery rejected, and
we have supported Mr. Nelson for every place
in the gift ot the Government, from the liover
norship of Alaska to the Secretaryship of State.
We luriher give notice that we ghall insist that
every efticer whose name President Johnson
rends in to oblige any of these Senators or their
families shall be promptly conformed. We were
proud to notice that, notwithstanding these
Senators had ceased all personal relations with
l'rtsident Johnson because of his attacks
upon the Constitution, immediately upon the
failure of impeachment they renewed the inti
macy, and made themselves agreeable at the
W hite House. We looked upon this as au
evidence of Larmony, and as au indication
that If the President was slow to fulfil his part
of the bargain, they would not be slow to
ho'd him t it. Far be it from us to attack
these gentlemen, or to say one word to their
discomfort. But we trust the linns will ad
monish them to be as moderate as we are. It
is not long since Mr. Fcssenden wrote a letter
full of bitter invective, characterizing the Re
publican press as "unscrupulous, familiar with
detraction, believers in neither publio nor pri
vate virtue, or, if believers, considering b3th
as out ol place iu politics." Mr. Trumbull
also tave us a letter filled with mysterious in
sinuations aud threats. The speech of Mr.
Ross was in the same vein. Mr. Fowler de
nounced General Butler and General Logan;
and Mr. Henderson, not long since, lu secret
tension of the Senate, assailed General Butler
in a speech which we have not yet heard that
he intends to deliver in au open session of that
body. The difficulty, therefore, is not with
the Tribune, but with the Senators themselves.
They invite abuse by indulging in it. .We are
willing to let them alone, to give them all the
credit they deserve, to honor them for their
Roman virtue, and to Bee that Andy Johnaou
makes all the appointments they demand.
What more cau we do f
We certainly cannot join with the Tin ts In
saying that
"Tbt-y have Uttaorte J, In the grandest mauner
ever known in America, their ppronal Inde
pendence, the Independence of the (Senate, the
rhciita of couHclence and private Judgment, and
their own honor. Forever distinguished In the
most honorable way among Keruilco (se
nator will bp l he nimpR or Trumbull. Kessen-
'en, K'ikh. Henderson, OrlineR, Fowler, aud
Van W Inkle."
For us to say this will be to reflect upon
such Senators as Sumner, Morgan, Conkling,
Sheiuan, Morton, Cameron, Anthony,
Sprs'gne, etc, all of whom are distinguished
In an honorable way among Kepublicau Sena
tors. The Seven Senators are all great men,
honorable men, conscientious men. But then
they d i not embrace all the honor, grandeur,
and conscience of the Senate; and it is beoause
we hesitate to say this that the Times is dis
satisfied. IMhI Anxiety nml Fulrlot Fidelity.
From the y, Y. Commercial Advertiser,
We cannot too highly commend the anxiety
of ex-Rebel officers and soldiers to save the
country. To be sure, ouly seven years ago
hundreds of them abandoned their allegiance
to the Union, violated their military oaths,
forsook the Government which had fostered
them, and bore arms against it. There is a
physiological theory,'that every seven years
tLe entire human structure changes an I is
made over. If this be so, the men who bioke
faith in 1801, are not the men who now make
these frantic appeals. They bear the same
names and look as erst they did, barring the
ravagesjof time, but there is no particle of llesh,
or bone, or blood in them, which was there in
IS 01. Perhaps they hope, by this metamor
phosis, to excuse themselves, aud to claim
non-identity with the past.
One of these "Union savers" is Ganeral
Buckner, who was induced to "git up an 1 git"
from Fort Donelson when Grant appeared
theie one fine day in ISO'2, and now this fugi
tive, coming North, finds Grant again arrayed
against him. So he goes into the Democrats
Convention, and declares that he is in har
mony "with every brave soldier in the effort
to rescue the Constitution from indignity or
violation." And the members of the Couven
tion, who have never forgiven Uraut for
chatirg Buckner from his standpoint of hos
tility to the Constitution, applauded the lat
tei's speech, aud welcomed him back to the
rai-ks from which he had beeu temporarily
separated.
The Democrats, however, are not the only
persons who have ' their say" in this matter.
There are returned Union soldiers who demand
a heaiirg, and they long since set their seal
of condtmnatiou, not only upon Rebels iu the
field, but upon the Pendletous aud Seymours,
and all their kith aud kio, who remained iu
the rear, and who either li roily opposed the
war for the Union or iuidiouoly endeavored to
sap the slrtngih of the forces at rave J in be
half of tLe Government.
Once vpon a time, during the war, the
Indiana s diers road - an a Idress iu which they
expressed their tentiiu-nis upon the situation.
Among other things, they said:
We i xpect to come h -me mm a ley. We will

This is the sentiment which actuates nine
tenths of all the "boys in blue," and they will
keep their word. Tney have good memories, '
and they will mete out to those in front or
rear, "who sought to defeat thein' the retri
bution that is appropriate to such a monstrous
crime.
Let the Democracy summon the Rebel chief
tains to their platforms to sutaiu the cause of
Seymour and Blair; let them name for the
highest positions in their confidence the men
who looked listlessly on while rebellion stalked
over the land, or who gave aid aud comfort to
secession, and the "boys in blue" will be on
hand to meet them and to overwhelm them at
the polls.
rresh'ciit Johnson and Tammany Hall.
Pi om the r. Herald.
If ever without a party at his back there
was a happy man in the White House it was
John Ty lei ; if there has ever beeu a man in
the White House who has unnecessarily and
profitlessly kept himself in hot water in search
of a party, it is Andrew Johnson. From his
first message to Congress in December, 18t!5,
down to this day he has thus kept himself in
Lot water. But there was a method in his
madness and an object in his con Hie t with
Congress from the beginning, which, though a
long time a mystery to many inquiring
minds, is at length as completely solved as
the problems of the sources and the annual
oveinow of the Nile. We have only to as
sume that from the date of his rupture with
"old Thad. Stevens" Mr. Johnson began to
work for the Democratic nomination of lSo'8,
in oider to get a perfect solution of his hereio
and persistent struggle tor State rights aud
the Constitution.
His first positive and unqualified movement
in this direction was in the Philadelphia
Johuton conservative experimental national
Convention of August, lSu'ti (see Mr. Ray
mond's speech), and that was a failure. His
next adventure, a month later, was in that
famous pilgrinictge to the tomb of Douglas,
"swinging louud the circle," and that was a
failure; for in the State elections which fol
lowed "my poiioy" aghiust the fourteenth
amendment policy of Congress was voted
down lrom Maine to California. Iu 1607, iu
consequence of the departure of Congress from
said fourteenth ameuoment and the adoption
of the military and universal negro Bull rage
policy of Southern reconstruction, a popular
reaction set in against the Kepublicau party
fiom Connecticut to the Pacific, and Mr.
Johnson rejoiced greatly thereat in his mes
sages to Congiets. He was getting to the
windward of his enemies. In 1808, unani
mously sustained by the Democracy in Con
gress and throughout the country against the
radicals and in the matter of impeachment, he
Lad some ground lor the impression, with his
acquittal, that the Democrats, in casting about
for their most available candidate, would be
inevitably drawn, as their ouly alternative, to
Andrew Johnson, the man who had done more
to bring them out of the Dismal Swamp aud
to put them on their legs again than all their.
party leaders and managers put together.
Party conventions, nowever, iiKe repuoiies,
are ungrateful. The recent proceedings iu
Tammany Hall have thoroughly convinced Mr.
Johnson that this is true. The shock, how
ever, thus sustained, instead of diverting his
Tr.lnrl in ilia rtnuKolationa of religion or nhl-
losopby, Beenia to have awakened in the Pre-
Bideut something ei inetnreiui wrmu oi mug
Theodoins. lis will trifle no longer with pre
tended friends, but will slay them right and
left. A ceitain letter from Washington in
yesterday's Herald upon the subject shows
that he Las no more fish to fry in Tammany
Hall, and that he is no longer in the mood to
turn the crindstone to eriud the axes and
toin&Lanks of the Tammany sachems. It ap
pears, in short, that Mr. Johnson has not yet
made up his miud whether to take a hand in
this Presidential ooulliot or to staua aioor,
neutral spectator, like the Tennessee hunter in
the deadly struggle between Lis wife and the
bear. The Demooratio politicians, it further
appear, are becoming uneasy at this attltud
of Achilles tn Lis tent. They waut him to
come out. They had employed several a lrolt
peaennakers to bring him on, but all to no
purpose, when, as the story goe3, the anxious
Sam. Tilden, of New York, felt it necessary to
come to the rescue; that he accordingly des
patched to Washington, by the owl train, the
disoreet and trusty John D. Van Buren (
name which would gratefully recall that of
the lamented John Van Bureu) to have a talk
with Mr. Jobn.-on. Colonel Van Buren in due
time appeared atthe White Honse, and, hav
ing cleared the way, fraukly stated that his
object was "to discover what aid the President
would give to the Democratic party to secure
the State of New York."
This was a posei ; but what was the Presi
dent's answer f According to oar correspond
ent in the premises Mr. Johnson replied:
Colonel Van Bnren, some time ago Governor
Sejmour declared that the very best thing
that conld happen for the country wou'd be
the removal of the President by Congress. I
do not forget that, sir; and, believe me now,
sir, that 1 have no desire to be found flying at
the tail of Governor Seymour's kite. Tu the
Democracy fit New Yoik I owe nothing. They
have been controlled by a newspaper clique,
which have never been friendly to me, and
therefore I can Eee no rea?ou why I should go
out of my way to ashist them."
Now, assuming this report to be substan
tially true (and we have no reason to doubt
it), there is a rupture Injtween the President
and Tammany Hall as complete as that which
bioke np the old political firm of Seward,
Weed, aud Greeley. The newspaper clique re
ferred to by Mr. Johnson have done the busi
ness. They have beeu using him only to
betray iim; they have beeu playiug upon his
confidence and credulity, and he Las found it
out. Not a voice from New York in the De
mocratic Convention, in alt those twenty-two
lallotings, pronounced the name of Andrew
Johnson. That was enough. What fuither
interest has Mr. Johnson in the New York
1 emocracy ? Can any one tell f We see, iu
deed, that his contempt for these party nomi
nating conventions, siuce these unexpeoted
proceedings at Tammany Hall, is such that he
proposes to amend the Federal Constitution
in older to head off these assemblages of
juggling politicians heieaf er, and to give.the
ptople a chance in behalf of their favorites".
To Bum up the whole case, Mr. Johnson,
with heavier odds against him, has played the
rule for another teJin of Tyler aud Fillmore,
and, like them, be has failed in it. The best
that he can now do is to imitate the sottui
philohophy of Tjler in the resolution to take
the woi Id easy aud the cares Ot State, to let
the politicians help themselves, and to devote
his leisure hours to some useful instructions
on all such ungrateful deceivers and jugglers
as thofe of Tammany IIaII for the benetit-of
the rising generation.
Our Onnaii Voters.
From the If. Y. Cumn.ercidl Advertiser.
The Znutsville (Jermania repudiates the
Tammtnv nominations and platlorm, aud de
clares that they were "only the work of a wide
and bioud-spun secret political clique." They
were not, it declares, "Ihe expression of the
Demociacy, but the work of August Bdlmont,
ol New Yoik." It adds:
"lie pn.j.le excecied ihlh Convent Ion to form

Ihe Germania then proceeds to ask, "can
patriots stand it with calm blood, to be thus
humbugged by the politicians, and, like the
greenhorns, say to this political finesse, "Yea

The above undoubtedly gives expression to
the views entertained by Germans all over
this country. The liberty-loving ideas and
views which they brought with them from the
fatherland have naturally oarried them into
the Republican party, and if, through local
causes or legislation, they have been alienated
and strayed into the Demooratio fold, they will
now return. The same patriotic Teutons who
followed Lyon and Blair with such enthusiasm
to the field, aud saved Missouri, will now,
with tqual unanimity, repudiate at the polls
the apostacy and recreancy of the latter.
It is giatilying to note the Larmony and en
thusiasm for Giknt now prevailing among the
Germans ot this city and State, and the return
of those who, through sumptuary legislation
and 'Jnbune fanaticism and abuse, have been
temporal ily alienated from us. Dr. Frederick
Srhultz, President of the Grant and Colfax
Club of New York city and county is about to
make a tour through the State, with a view
to bring Ihe oigam.ation into close connec
tion with the Gel man Republicans, and of all
the cities and towns. Oar republican friends
should everywhere extend a warm reo-ptlon
to him, and co-operate with hi'.u iu the good
cause vihicL he is aboi4 to undertake. All
that is required is harmony, zeal, and work,
to overcome the fifty thousaud Democratic
majority under which the Empire State now
staggers, and place her once more at the Lead
of the Republican column.
