From the Atlantic Monthly A:,r November.
TILE CONSPIRACY AT WASHINGTON
The people of the t;nited•States now have
the mortification of standing before the world
in the attitude of a swindled democracy.—
Their collective will is crossed by the will of
one individual, whose only title to such au
tocracy is in the fact that he has cheated and
betrayed those who elected him. There
might be some little compensation for this
outrage, if the man possessed any of those
commanding qualities of mind and disposi
tion which ordinarily distinguish usurpers ;
but it is the peculiarity of Mr. Johnson that
the indignation excited by his claims is only
equalled by the contempt excited by his char
acter. He is despised even by those he ben
efits, and his nominal supporters feel ashamed
of the trickster and apostate, while conde
scending to reap the advantages of his faith
lessness. No party in the South or in the
North thinks of selecting him as its candidate,
for the vices and weaknesses which make an
excellent accomplice and tool are not those
which any party would consider desirable in
a leader. Whatever office-seekers, partisans,
traitors, and public enemies can find in Mr.
Johnson, it is certain that they find in him
nothing to respect. He is cursed with that
form,of moral disease which sometimes ren
ders a man ridiculous, sometimes infamous,
but which never renders him respectable,—
namely, vanity of will. Other men may be
vain of their talents and accomplishments,
but he is vain of the personal pronoun itself,
utterly regardless of what it covers and in
cludes. Reason, conscience, understanding,
have no impersonality to him. When he
uses the words, he uses them as synonyms of
his determinations, or as decorative terms
into which it pleases him to translate the
rough vernacular of his 'wilfulness and capri
ces. The "Constitution," also, a word con
stantly profaned by his lips, is not so much,
as he uses it, the Constitution of the United
States as the moral and mental constitution of
Andrew Johnson, which, in his view, is the
one primary fact to which all other facts must
be subordinate. His gross inconsistencies of
opinion and policy, his shameless betrayal of
his party, his incapacity to hold himself to his
word, his hatred of a cause thy moment its
defenders cease to flatter him, his habit of ad
ministering laws he has vetoed on the princi
ple that they do not mean what he vetoed
them for meaning, his delight in little tricks
of low cunning—in short, all the immoral
and unreasonable acts of his administration
have their central source in a passionate
sense of self-importance, inflaming a mind of
extremely limited capacity:
Such a person, whose mere presence in the
executive chair of a constitutional country is
itself "a high crime, and misdemeanor," is of
course the natural prey ofdemagogues, and
he now appears to be surrounded by dema
gogues of the moat desperate class. His ad
visers are conspirators, and they have so
wrought on his vulgar and malignant nature
that the question of his impeachment has now
come to be merged in the more momentous
question whether he will submit to be im
peached. Constitutionally, there is no limit
to the power of Congress in this respect but
that which Congress may itself impose. The
power is plain, and there can be no revision
of the judgment of the Senate by any other
power in the Government. But Mr. Johnson
thinks, or says he thinks, that Congress itself,
as at present constituted, is unconstitutional.
He believes, or says he believes, that the de
feated Rebel States whose representatives Co
ngress now excludes are as much States irt the
Union, and as much entitled to representation,
as New York or Ohio. As he specially repre
sents the defeated Rebel States, it is hardly to
be supposed that he will consent to be pun
ished for crimes committed in their behalf by
a Congress from which their representatives
are excluded ; and it is also to be presumed
that the measures he is now taking to obstruct
the operation of the laws of COpgress relating
to reconstruction are but preliminary to a de
de l() resist Congress itself.
The madness of such a scheme leads judi
cious people to disbelieve in its possibility ;
but in respect to Mr. Johnson, it has been
found that the only way to prevent the dccur
relice of mischief is to diffuse extensively
among the people the suspicion thatit Is med
itAted. Judicious snd diapassionate persons
are often poor judges of what men of fierce
passions and distempered minds will .do; for
they unconsciously attribute to such men
some of their own ideas of honesty, propriety,
and regard for the public welfare. The legis
lators whom Louis Napoleon outwitted were
overthrown beesuse, bad as their opinion of
hide was, it was not so bad as events proved
it ought to have been. In the case of Mr.
Johnson, there is not the same excuse for
mbmbuception, since his Waning is utterly
dlierasi from sagacity, and he not the in
telligence to conceal what his impuhes
prinopt him to attempt: The kind of man he
is would seem to be obvious to the most su
perficial observer; the natural inference Is,
therefore, that be will act, after his kind ; but
this is an inference which dispassionate
stlitemten have hesitated NV to draw. Th ey

they should have foreseen. They were sur
prised that, during the months he was left to
his own devices, and to the counsels of South
ern politicians, he matured his policy of re
construction. They were surprised that he
would not abandon his policy rather than
break with the Republican party, They were'
surprised when they learned that be medita
ted a coup d i cta/ on the assembling of the
Fortieth Congress. They were surprised
when they found that no law could be made
which woulfl,bind him according to its intent.
They were surprised when, as soon as Con
gress adjourned, he began to take measures
which can have no other intelligible purpose
than that of making him master of Congress
when it re-assembles. And to crown all,
though it his been apparent since February,
1866, that he was the enemy of the country,
they have still had technical reasons for re
taining him as the proper executive of its
laws.
It would then seem that, in dealing with such
a man as Andrew Johnson, it is the part of w is:
dom to suspect the worst. Without any spe
cial knowledge of the treasonable intrigue now
going on'in Washington, it is still possible to
fathom the President's 6sigtis, and to under
stanarthe resources on which he relies. In the
first place, his conceit makes him believe Unit
he is the first man in the nation, and that he is'
not only adored at the South brit popular at the
North. The slightest sign of reaction in North
ern and Western elections he considers a tes
timony to his individual merit, and an endorse
ment of his policy. In case he refuses to rec
ognize the present Congress, turns its mem
bers by military power out of their seats, and
appeals for support to the white population of
the rebel as well as loyal States, he will count
on being sustained by the nation. The Dem
ocratic party agrees with him as far as re
gards the constitutionality of the laws which
he will, in the name of the Constitution, b. ,
compelled to disregard in order to get posses
sion of the military power of the country ; and
he thinks that party will support him in resu
ming those, functions as commander-in-chiet
of which he has been deprived by a "usurp
ing" Congress. The army and navy, with all
Republican officers removed, including, of
course, General Grant and Admiral Farragut,
he thinks will obey his orders. The South,
he supposes, will rally round him to a man
The thoroughly rebel military organization in
Maryland, controlled by a Governor atter his
own heart. will interpose obstacles to the pas
sage of troops from the Northern States to
Washington. The Democrats in thosel!ltates
will do all they can to prevent troops from
being sent. Before there could be any effi
cient military organization in the loyal States
brought to bear on his dictatorship, he expects
to have a Congress of "the whole elation"
around him, of which at least a majority will
be defeated Rebell and Copperheads. The
whole thing is to . be done in the name of the
Constitution ; and the proclamation he has
issued to all officers of the United States, civil
and military, telling them to obey the Consti
tution (i. e., Mr. Johnion) may be considered
the first step in the development of the
scheme.
It is needless to say that such a scheme could
only find hospitable reception in the head uf a
spiteful, inflated, and tmprincipled egotist, for
such an egotist Mr. Johnson assuredly is. It
is needless to say that it would break down
through the refusal of General9Grant to give
up his command, and through the refusal of
the great body of the army to obey the Presi
dent : for the danger is not so much the success
of the attempt as the convulsion which the
mere attempt would occasion. That the dan
ger is a serious one, provided the October and
November elections show a considerable Re,
publican loss, is evidentfrom a consideration'
of the President's position. He has already
gone far enough in his course to exasperate
Congress, and unite its Republican members,
conservative and radical, in favor of his im
peachment. Without going over the long list
of delinquencies and usurpations which would
justify that measure, it is sufficient to name
the recent proclamation of amnesty as an act
which promises to secure it. That proclama
tion is a plain violation of the Constitution rs
the Constitution is understood by Congress ;
and it is upon the Congressional interpretation
of the Constitution that, in the , matter of im
peachment, the President must stand or fall.
Congress, by giving the power of granting am
nesty to Mr. Lincoln, evidently conceived that
it was not a power' given to him by the Con
stitution ; by taking it away from Mr. John
son, it is evidently conceived that it could not
be exercised by him except by usurpation.—
In usurping this power, Mr. Johnson must
have known that his act belonged, in the
opinion of Congress, to the class of "high
crimes and misdemeanors," for the commis
sion of which the Constitution expressly pro
vides that Presidents may be impeached ; and
he must also have known that Congress, in
judging of his infractions of the Constitution,
would be bound neither by his individual
opinion of ha constitutional powers nor by
the opinion csf the Supreme Court, but was at
perfect liberty to act on its own interpretation
of his constitutional duty. It is not therefore
to be supposed that he intended to limit his de
fiance of Congress to the mere issuing of the
amnesty proclamation, especially as the prin
ciple on which that proclamation was Issued
would cover his refusal to carry out the whole
Congressional plan of reconstruction. His
conviction or assertion that Congress has no
right to withhold from him the power to par
don defeated rebels and public enemies by the
wholesale, is certainly not *greater or more
emphatic than his conviction or assertion that,
in its plan of reconstruction, Congress has
granted to subordinates powers which consti
tutionally belong to him. If he can exalt his
will over Congress in the one case, there is no
reason why he should not do it in the other.
Indeed, in the proclamation of amnesty, Mr.
Johnson practically claims that his power to
grant pardons extends to a dispensing power
over the laws. But it is evident that the Con
stitution, in giving the President the power to
pardon criminals, does not give him the power
to dispense with the laws against crime. At
one period Mr. Johnson seems to have donh
this in respect to the crime of counterfeiting,
by his repeated pardons extended to convicted
counterfeiters. Still 'there is a broad line of
distinction between the abuse of this power to
pardon criminals after conviction and the as
sumption of power to restore to whole classes
of traitors and public enemies their forfeited
rights of citizenship. By the pardon of mur
derers and counterfeiters the President cannot
much increspe the number of his political sup
porters; by the pardon. of traitors and public
enemies he'may build up a party to support
him in his struggle against the legislative de
partment of the Government. The reasons
which have induced Mr. Johnson to dispense
with the laws against treason are political ma
sons, and bear no ndation to his prerogative
of mercy. Nobody pretends that he pardoned
counterfeiters because.theY were his political
Minimum ; everybody knows he pardons trai
tors and Rublie enemies in order to gain their
influence and votes. *A. ;Olio enemy himself,
and leagued with public enemies, he has the
iintiodenne to claim that lie is constitntknutily
capable of perverting his power to • •.n In
to a power to gain political support. in his i p
schemes against the loyal nation.
But it is not probable that the President
will limit his usurpations to a measure whose
chief significance consists in its preliminary
character. Before Congress meets in. Nove
mber, he will doubtless have followed it up by
others which' will make his impeachment a
matter, of certainty. The only method of pre
venting
him from resisting impeachment by
force is an awakening of the people tothe fact
that the final battle against reviving rebellion
is yet to be fought at the riolls. Any apathy
or divisions among Republicans in the State
elections In October and November, resulting
in a decrease of their vote, will embolden Mr.
Johnson to venture his meditated coup detest.
He never will submit to be impeached and re
oved from office unless Congress is sustain
ed,by majority of the people so great as to .
frighten him into submission. Elated by a
little victory, he cau only be depressed by a
ruinous defeat ; and such a defeat it is the sol
emn duty of the people to prepare for him.—
Even into his conceited brain must be driven
the idea that his contemplated enterprise is
hopelets, and that, in attempting to commit ;
the greatest of political crimes, he would sue- •
ceed only in committing the most enormous of
political blunders.
Still it is not to be concealed that there arc
circumstances in the present political condi
tion of the country which may give the Pre
sident just that degree of apparent popular sup
port which is all he needs to stimulate him in
to open rebellion against the laws. It is, of
course, his duty to recognize the people of the
United . States ir, their representatives in the
Fortieth Congress ; but on the other hand, it is
the character of his mind to regard the people
as multiplied duplicates of himself, and a mob
yelling for "Andy" under his windows is to
him more representative of the people than the
delegates of twenty States. In the autumn
elections only two Representatives to Congress
will be chosen ; the political strife will relate
generally to local questions and candidates ;
and it is to be feared that the Republicans
will not be sufficiently alive to the fact tisk
divisions on local s questions and candidates
will be considered at Washington as signifi
cant of a change in the public mind on the
great national question which it is the busi
ness of the Fortieth Congress to settle That
Congress needs the moral support of a great
Republican vote note, and will obtain it pro
vided the people are roused to a conviction of '
its necessity. But a large and influential por- `+
tion of the Republican party is composed of
business men, whose occupations disconnect!
:hem from politics, except in important ex
igencies, and who can with difficulty be made
to believe that politics is a part of their busi
ness,
as long as the safety of their business is not
threatened by civil disorders. They think the
reconstruction question is practically settled,
and when you speak to them of plots such as ,
are now hatching in Washington, tend which
seem as preposterous as the story of a sensa
tional novel, their incredulity confirms them
in a notion that it is safe to allow things to
take their course. Their very good sense
makes them blind to the designs of such a
Bobadil Cromwell as Andrew Johnson. The
great body of the Republican party, indeed,
shows at present a little of the exhaustion
which is apt to follow a series of victories,
and exhibits altogether too much of the con
fidence which so often attends an incompleted
triumph.
The Democratic party, on the- contrary, it
all alive, and is preparing for one last des
perate attempt to recover its old position in
the nation. Its leaders fear that, if the Con
gressional plan of reconstiuction be carried .
out, it will restrain republicanizing the South
ern States. This would be the political ex
tinction of their party. In fighting against
that plan, they are, therefore, fighting for life,

there would be an uprising of the people which
would soon sweep him and his supporters
from the face of the earth. This may be very

the neglect of the people to perform theirs.—
