President Johnson and Treason,
We publish this week the entire
speech of President Johnson in Wash
ington city on - the 22d. In it he seeks
to maintain the position declared in
his veto message, and reiterates senti
ments long ago expressed by him.
One of these is that treason is a crime
and must be punished. The leading,
eanscious traitor, he says, must be pun
ished, and We believe him honest when
he makes such a . declaration; and we
may conjecture, as the reason for the
delay in the trial of the leaders, that
some of the.rnembers of Congress al,
lege that the rebellion is not yet over,
nor will it beended until the proclama
tion of the Pitsident of' the United
States is promalgated to that efreetiand
until that piliblamation is issued, in
the opinion of Attorney General Speed,
the trial 'of Jeff. Davis or any other
rebel leader / for treason cannot be le—
gally held. If it doei3 depend on this,
although we cannot see much differ
ence, we would rejoice again when the
proclamation went forth at, this late
day that the rebellion was over.
It is upon the supposition that Pres
ident Johnson is willing to take the
leading rebels to his counsel that some
journals aro opposed to him. We be
lieve that the President stands in the
same attitude to the rebels to-day as
he did when he was elected, and we
helievo that the opinions ho then ex
pressed were his honest convictions.
We oannot think that because he is
willing to show the mass of the rebels
leniency and encouragement that his
heart iS in sympathy with leading trai
tors; nor can we, like some, call him
traitor hcoause he desires to see "un
mistakably and unquestionably loyal
men" allowed seats in the National
balls. He must be guilty of worse
crimes than vetoing an unjust and un•
constitutional Freedmen's Bureau bill,
or being in favor of allowing loyal
men to represent the South, before we

to see him do it, when the opportunity

and also extracts from speeches acd

views ho has taken, and which he says
he will adhere to. Surely, no topic is
of greater importance than that of the
preservation of our common country,
and we should sink every minor into
rest—bo•it of a partisan or individual
nature—and support the . Administra:-

lion. And so long as the President
stands by the Constitution, which he
has sworn to defend and preserve—so
long as ho seeks the peace and happi-
ness of the whole Union—so long as ho
endeavors to maintain the grand prin
ciple of preservation of the Govern

—so long should we support him by
our undivided counsel and unwavering
allegiance,

Jeff. Congress Act,
Why don't the President make
"treason odious" by hanging Jeff. Da
vis? Something like this is the ques
tion probably more frequently put by
all sorts of people, than any 9ther.
While it clearly enough reflects the
general desire; it does iibt convey.the
correct view of the case. The Wash
ington Republican explains wherein as
follows;
"As long ago as October last the
President made efforts to commence'
the work of the' trial of traitors, and
desiring to test the question whether
treason was a crime, and believing,
with the law officers of tbe Govern
ment, that suet' test should be made at
the right place before the highest tri•
bunal in the land, addressed a letter to
Chief Justice - Chase on the subject.
The latter's response subsequently be.
came public property and has been read
from ono end of the land to the other.
lle was not inclined to try the case in
his circuit, in the city of Richniond,
because the Government of the United
States chose to keep its military there,
or words to that effect. The ,President.
under legal advisement; did not deem.
it prudent to order a jury trial any—
, where else. Secretary Chase appealed
to Congress for its action. The Presi
dent stated the case to Congress in
December last in his naessag,e. Subse
quently, by request, ho communicated
the letter of the Chief Justice to that
body. Congress, therefore, hits had
the whole subject before it for many
weeks and has taken no definite action
thereon.
"Although there have been many
complaints about the exercise of the
pardoning power by the President. it
is true, as we have before stated in de
tail, that he has reserved from among
those who have, of their own accord
or through their friend, asked for par
don, over five hundred leading trai,
tors, beginning with the arch-traitor
Davis.
'Should the President take any step
towards trying Davis while the sub
ject is before Congress, and without its
action, it might be deemed assumption,
or, at least, disrespectful. Therefore
the matter rests. Congress has taken
no action. The President's hands are
tied."
If this is the correct view of 'the
ease, then the people should ply Con
gress with their petitions and demands.
It has had for sonic time a bill before
it to facilitate the trial and punishment
of Davis. If it will effect the object,
the bill cannot be too soon acted on.
At any rale Congress having taken
hold of - the business, it cannot do bet
ter than to finish it up.
There are few men in this coantry,
today, who do not respect the wisdom
and admire the integrity which char—
acterized the career of Abraham bins
coin as President of the United states.
:11::: t1. \: t : . h Ile he lived', Mr. Lincoln WAS
often assailed by the men who profess-
allowed to out-live the reproachs heap
ed upon him, and before he was foully
assassinated he had the satisfaction of
beholding not only his policy vindica•
ted, but his very predictions verified,
When President Lincoln suspended the
emancipation proclamation of General
Fremont, a great many loyal men—
perhaps a majority—were displeased,
and the Democrats were wondrously
elated. But Arr. Lincoln did not go
over to the Democracy, nor did his
party cease to act with him. In due
time, the.wisdom of Presidential mod
eration 'N'tlS vindicated in results—the
grand object aimed at in the proclama•
tion was secured—and the Administra•
Lion enjoyed the united support of the
Repiiblioan party, and the undivided
abuse of the Democracy. This remi.
niscenee may serve to console those
melancholy spirits who are now pro..
phesying that party breakup and an•
archy are inevitable.
So far as we are individually con
corned, we are willing to trust to Pres
ident Johnson. We have no snore re
spect for the spirit which assails the
Tennessecan than we had for the ma
levolence and hate which sought the
aspersion of the Illinoisan.' We can
not do otherwise but believe that An
drew Johnson really desires to improve
the condition of the country; and
frankly relying on the patriotism of
his intentions,we have faith that, as in
the case of Mr. Lincoln's revocation of
Fremout's proclamation,Andrew John
son's course will yet command the uni
ted support of the party which sustain
ed him against the traitors iii the
South, which defended him against the
malignity of the Democracy in the
North, and which dented him to the
second highest office in the gift of the
nation.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
Wha is the Dinrence ?
Mr. Dixon, Union Member of Con,
gross from Connecticut, made a speech
in the House in defence of the Presi
dent's policy, on Tuesday last, from
which we clip the following:
What is the difference ofopinion ex
isting between the President of the
United States and those-who are op—
posed to his reconstruction policy in
the two Houses of Congress ? I cer—
tainly disclaim, of course; any right to
state what are opinions, except as
they aro given to us in authentic pub—
lic documents. Prom these alone lob.
tale his views. That these are mis•
represented,intentionally or otherwise,
should not perhaps surprise those who
consider how seldom a candid state.
went of the true question at issue is
made by the advocates of conflicting,
doctrines and opinions. It would seem
impossible, in view of tho frank and
explicit utterances which the Presi ,
deaf, has often made of his opinions to
create iu the public Mind a misappre.
be,nsion of his views. Yet this, to a
certain extent, has been done.
Ho is supposed by many to urge the
admission of disloyal men from the
rebel States to the two Houses of Con.
°Tess. He is charged with a purpose
to bring into their former placesin this
body - broody handed rebels. He is said
to wish to throw wide open the doors
of Congress; and fill those seats with
traitors fresh from the battle fields of
the rebellion. What is his true posi.
non ? I might refer to the published
Statertienf of his views in his remarks
to a delegaticidef Virginians the pther

opinion that only loyal men should be
appointed to office. But I prefer to
•take his latest authentic, written de
clarations. I shall read from his veto
message, found in.that document,•tho
following :
"I hold it my duty to recommend to
you, in the interests of peace and in
tho interests of the Union, the admis
sion of every State to its share in pub
lic legislation when, however insubor•'
dinate,insnrgent or rebellions, its pee
ple may have • been, it presents itself
not only in an attitude of loyalty and
harmony, but in the persons of repre
sentatives whose loyalty cannot be
questioned under any existing consti
tutional or legal tests." '
Such is the language of the Presi
dent in his veto message. Can it be
misunderstood ? Can it to misrepre
sented ? What are existing constitu.
tional and legal tests but the oath re
quired by the Constitution and the
still stronger test oath prescribed by
law ? Having stated what ho recom
mends, the President then states what
he is opposed to, as follows :
"It is plain that an indefinite or per
manent exclusion of any part of the
country from representation must be
attended by a spirit of disquiet and
complaint. It is llillsiSo and danger
ous to pursue a course of measures
which will unite a very large section
of the country against another section
of the country, however much the lat
ter may preponderate. The course of
emigration,, the development of in
dustry and business, and natural caus
es will raise up at the South men as
devoted to the Union 'as those of any
other part of the land. 'But if they are
excluded from Congress, if in a per
manent statute they aro declared not
to be in full constitutional relations to
the country, they may think they
have cause to become a unit in-feeling
and sentiment against the Govern,
mont."
This is what the President isopposcd
to. We have, therefore, what he re
commends and what he disapproves.
He recommends, the admission to Con
gress of loyal men, who can take the
required oaths, provided they come
from States which present themselves
in a attitude of harmony and loyalty.
He disapproves a permanent or indefi
nite exclusion of all representation, re
gardless of the loyalty of the represen
tative or the people. Here, then, the
issue is fairly presented. How could
he state it more distinctly ?
[From the llerrishurg Telegraph,
.Tho Tennessee Congressional Sena
tors and Representatives.
Mr. Thaddeus Stevens slated, when
the President's veto of the Freedmen's
Bureau bill was received in Congress,
that the Committee on Reconstruction
had had under consideration the :ad
mission of the Congressional delega
tion from Tennessee, that it was de
cided to admit those Representatives,
but that the veto h changed this dieision.
The whole country Ms most sincerely
deplored this conclusion, and if Mr.
Stevens thinks the President wrong,
he should remember that two wrongs do
not make a right. If the Committee on
0 1111.3WICALOn came Lo the conclusion
fair to suppose that clt eislou was
based on a principle of right and jus
tice, which the hasty words of the
President, spoken under great aggrav
ation, should not be allowed to defeat.
It would be au everlasting reproach to
the sublime sense of justice which
pervades the spirit of our free institu
tions if the loyal inch of any State
should ho compelled to suffer for the
differences between the President and
Congress. Let Congress, therefore,
admit the Tennessee delegation. Let
the country have the evidence of the
high sense of justice which controls
the legislative branch of the Govern
ment; and the embarrassments which
now seem impending will be dispelled
to. give way to cordial good under
standing among all who aro vested
with authority in the Government.
The people of Tennessee were com
pelled to stand the hard blows and the
awful desolation of the war of the re
bellion, while they bravely battled for
the Union. Let them not now be made
the main sufferers in a contest which
they had no hand producing, and un
til they are represented in Congress
they can have no influence in proper.
ly settling. The time has come for
the working of real wisdom and the
operation of exact justice, and wo
know of no case iu which both can be
better established than by th 6 admis. I
sion of the Tennessee delegation to
Congress.
Sensible Talk.
Morton MeMiehael,Esq., editor of the
North American, a man who has been
lately honored by, his party by electing
him Mayor of tho city, in his paper of
the Ist inst., talks to his readers in a
sensible way. He says :
"Above ail things, let us not quarrel
with President Johnson, and thus glad
- dea the heart of every disloyal matt
between the Mexican and Canadian
line. The Chief Magistrate assures us
most authoritatively that he will nor.
ereonsort with traitors nor theirfriends,
and will co-operate with Congress in
every measure essential to allegiance
and security. Ile will aid in protec
ting the freedmen, and will only With
draw the military force from districts
where loyalty and peacefulness are in
the ascendant. Perhaps ho will aid us
' still further as regards the -basis 'of
representation, and thus Prevent the
dangerous preponderance of southern
votes in our legislative halls, against
which our Congress is so wisely en
deavoring to guard.
At all events, the President tells us
that, if his plan should prove a failure,
he is willing to change or modify it as
time may disclose its actual results.
Let us repose on this assurance at pres
ent, since it is very evident that just
now we cannot attain the radical
measures which our friends desire.
Most imprudent and hazardous would
it be to alienate from our cause the
earnest and powerful man who stands
at the head of the government. With
his aid, wo can yet carry the ship of
State securely into harbor. IVithout
it, we may roll on unpleasant billows
or among dangerous storms for years
to come. We should, in short, use as
much caution and coercion towards
the rebellious spirits who still vex the
nation as circumstances will permit us
to exorcise, and as much charitable
forbearance and courtesy towards. all

State :
WA:iIIINGTON, NlOllday, Feb. 20,1866.
Gen. Geo. W. Wright, Chairman, of the
Union State 'Central Committee,
=bus, Ohio :
My DEAR SIR : On Saturday last I
had :in interview with the President,
which I regarded as of sufficient im
portance of his statements whilst fresh
in my memory. I waited upon him
this morning to make known what I
had- done, ask his verification of the
truth of my report, and his consent to
make the same known to the country.
He frankly gave his consent, and as
sented to the accuracy of my report.
The President said that he was not
willing to avow that his policy had
simply aimed at the earliest possible
restoration of peace on a basis of loy
alty. No Congressional policy had
ever been adopted, and therefore,
when he entered upon the duties of
his (Alto, lie was obliged to adopt one'
of his own. He lunlm some sense in•
herited that of Me. Lincoln, with which
he thought he agreed, and that was
sustantially the one which he hail car
ried out. Congress had no just ground
of complaint that be had done so, for
they hail not seen fit to declare their
views or adopt any measures embody
ing what could be called a policy of
restoration. Ile was satisfied no long
continuance of military government
could be tolerated ; that the whole
country would properly demand the
restoration of a truly civil government,
and riot to give it to the lately rebel•
lions States, would bean admission of
the failure of the administration and of
the party which Carried through.the
war, to prove themselves equal to the
emergency. Now, the Work of '
struction was over and rebuilding had
begun, a military government alone
would not specify the South. At the
end of a long period of such govern
ment, we would be no nearer, and pro.
ii bably not so near, the:;end as now t and
would have the same work .to do.
Hence, there is a real necessity of ad
opting a .policy which should restore
civil government just as soon as the
rebellion should bo thoroughly ended,
and those conditions accepted by the.
South which are to be regarded as ab
solutely necessary to the peace of the
country. The proper system of pa
cification should be one which tended
everywhere to stimulate the loyalty
of the South, rather than to impose up
on them laws and conditions by exter
nal force.
This was the ease of the Freedman's
Bureau. He was not against the idea
of the Bureau, for he had used it and
was still using it. It might continue
for a period of more than a year yet.
lio had contemplated that either by a
proelamation of his own, or by soup
action of Congress, a condition of
peace,t4 technical end of the rebellion,
• I period hot very rctole, atek aS anti=
derstood by the present law the Bu
reau might continue a year ?rota that
time. Meanwhile, he could say to the
South "It depends upon yourselves to
say Aether the Bureau will be die.
continued at an earlier day, for I will
put an end to it just as soon as you,
for the protection of the freedmen
make it unnecessary." Thus the belie
of getting rid of the institution, stimu
lates them to right, while they aro
not disCouraged by the idea that there
is no hope of aid from what they re.
Bard as a sort of Military Government.
If, on the other hand, the Bureau were
made permanent by legislation, all the
objections he had urged in his mes
sage applied in full force to it, and in•
stead of encouraging the South to loy
alty, it would tend to make the hatred
of the Government inyeterate. Thesame
principle of stimulating loyalty was.
shown in the manneylhe had held mar
tial law over trieni. - 'Whenever l they
should show that martial law was not
needed, it should be removed. Their
own conduct would thus determine
the matter, and the desire and interest
of all the best people be increased to
obey the laws, because by so doing
they would hasten the withdrawal of
the interference of 'the military arm
in their affairs. In precisely the same
way he had acted in regard to civil af

of local governments as having dit.
qualified themselves by tht.iir treason
for continuance in power, be deposed
and established provisional govern
ments. Thea ho asked himself What
conditions ought to be demanded of
them, and how their disposition to ac
cept them in good faith might be
stimulated. The conditions were tho
amendment of the Statt; Constitutions'
excluding shivery, the acceptance of
Sonic amendment of the Constituf ion
of the United States, the repudiation
of the rebel debt, and the admission of
the freedmen to various rights, &e., to
Stimulate to accept these conditions,
I and each ns, using his bestjudgment,
in the absence of any Congressional
plan, he thought nearest right of any
he could frame, he engaged that on
their acceptance, with evidence of good
faith, he would permit them to reor
ganize their Stltto, elect legislators, &c.,
and so far as executive acts could do,
would restore them to their position in
the Union of' die States. They had so
far accepted his conditions, that lie re•
garded the, experiment, as a success—
He had accordingly reorguni2ed the
post office department among them,
had reopened trade, and removed re
strietions thereon through the'Treasu
ry department, anbn like manner in
all Executive"llenaftments recognized
them as States in_the. Union, only
keeping enough military hold to pro
tect the, freedmen, and to induce them
to do something More thorough in that
•
Now but one thing remained in
which theso States did not exercise the
full rights of States r and that was rep
resentation to-ClOu'gress. In this he
had advised -that some ..prindiple of
stimulating loyalty :be applied, as in
the other respects named. lie would
admit only each

in fact loyal trice, giying stqigantory
evidence of thie. Whenever a State or

EMS
elected and qualified, be would think
it right to admit him the same as if
from any other State, and he would
admit none but such loyal men, so that
other States or districts might be thus
induced to elect and send similar men.
When they had all done this, their re
storation would be full, and the work
would be done. Such was his plan.—
fie did not ask to judge of the elec
tions and qualifications of members of
Congress, or of %their loyalty. Con
gress was its own judge, and ho had
no dream of interfering with its con
stitutional rights. But, he felt like
urging upon them and upon the cotta.
try, that this mode of finishing work
so nearly completed in other respects
was the only feasible one which had
been presented; and that it was im
possible to ignore the fact that the
States were exercising their rights and
enjoying their privileges within the
Union—were, in short, restored in all
other respects, and-that it is too late to
question the fundamental right of rep
, rcsenta Lion,
then remarked to him that I sug
gested that le , rislation could properly
be made by Congress purely civil in its
character, providing for the protection
by the United States Courts of infe—
rior jurisdiction, in all eases where the
States did not do so.
He replied that such an idea would
run exactly parallel to his plan, but
ho had not thought it yet time to give
his own ideas of the precise mode of
accomplishing this, and because we
had a margin of time lasting till after
the next session of Congress, during
which the present Freedmen's Bureau
could continue in operation, and if be•
fOro that time the Southern States
should recognize the necessity of pass•
inn proper laws themselves, and pro
viding a pik)per system of protection
for the freedmen, nothing further on
our part would be necessary. If they
did not do what they ought, there
would then he time enough to elabor
ate the plan.
He then referred briefly to the fact
that disloyal mon have been rejoicing
over his veto. message; saying that if
these men in good faith adopt - oil the
views of his policy he had himself held
and acted upon, and which ho had so
fully elaborated his annual message,
and explained to me, the country sure
ly could have tio cause for sorrow in
I that. If disloyal men and rebels every
where., North and South, should cor
dially give their ztdherencc to the con
ditions of restoration he had informal
ly insisted upon, he thought that was
precisely the kind of pacification loyal
men everywhere would rejoice in. The
more they were committed to such a
course, the hotter he would like it; for
if they were not sincere, they would at
least diminish their power of dangerous
opposition in future. His whole heart
Was with the body of true men who
had _carried the country through the
war, and ho earnestly sought to main
tain a cordial and perfect understand
ing with them. This sentiment and
purpose he regarded as entirely con
sistent with the determined opposition

tremes, who, as he believed, would
keep the country in chaos tilt absolute,

of the President on this important
matter, and if you could meet his
straight fbrward, honestlook,and hear
the hearty tones of his voice as I did,
I am well assured that you could be,
lieve with me that although he may
not receive personal assaults with the
forbearance .11Ir. Lincoln used to show,
there is no need to 'bar that Andrew
'Johnson is not sincere in his adhesion
' to the principles upon which he was
elected. Very truly yours,
Duty to the President,
Mr. Sherman, in the United States
Senate, made the following excellent
remarks in relation io the duties owed
by that body to the President:
"Wo mast maintain him, support
him, aid him. Even where I disagree
with him, I will.not arraign him before
the people of the country, and thus
discredit and disluipor Win.. Rather,
if 110 is weak NVO ought to uphold him
the more; if he is fickle, we (Right to
strengthen hint by our resolution; if
ho lacks any of the e!ement3 necessary
to constitute him a good man, we, ought,
to supply them by• our courage and
constancy. We do no good to our
cause, no good to our country, by a
constant crimination of the President,
by arraigning him here, as I have
heard him arraigned, as a tyrant and
bnbccile. Sir, he is the instrument in
the hands of Almighty God, holding
the executive power of thiS government
for four years. If he is a weak man,
we must support him; if we allow his
authority to be subdued and overrun,)
we destroy the authority of the goys
eminent of the United States." -
Every person even mOderately en
dowed with tfie sentiments of honor
and patriotism, will readily accord to
the noble spirit of these sentences. They
stand in brilliant contrast to the out
bursts of partisan abuse to which the
Senator alludes. There is an intrinsic
excellence in the Senator's sentiments,
thth makes them independent of the
conditions of time, place and individu
al. As above written they were three
years ago spoken of our lamented
Abraham — Lincoln, then President of
the United States. But they offer rea
sonable suggestions to every honest.
patriotic mind now. They are in 0
high tone of a patriotism that soars
sublimely above the atmosphere of
mere personal or party considerations.
In fact, they are in excellent harmony
with the utterances of 'the same high,
minded Senator on a very recent occa
sion, in application tp President John
son. .
The duties to the office to-day are
not dissimilar to those of the days-re
furred to, nor has reprehensive speech
been more freely indulged now than
then. But as the issue of compliance
with the high moral sentiments and
suggestions of Mr. Sherman was found
to be most happy on the countrv, and
the faith reposed in Mr. Lincoln was
justified by the results, so may we now
be nerved to the performance of duty
to the high office and to hint who occu
pies it, by the hope that similar re
sults will ensue and the republic will
receive no detriment.—Pittsburg Com
