CARLISLE, PA., Tlmrsdny Morning;, Ace. 0, IHOO, WHO MAS CHANGED? ♦ . The Radical-diaUnionlsts make war on (President JOHNSONnnd threaten him with jimpeachment because, as they say, “he has betrayed the party thatelceted him.” If this,radical assertion were even true, is it not a most wretched excuse for their attempt to depose the President? But is it true that the President has betrayed hia party ? Has not his party rather be trayed him and the people at large? Du ring Afr. Lincoln's life-time we believe he was the acknowledged head of his par ty, and after his death he was canonized as “a martyr.” President Johnson in his reconstruction policy, is following in the foot-prints of Hr. Lincoln. It is not Johnson’s but Lincoln’s policy. The latter, it is true, was bitterly assailed by such agitators as Ben. Wade, Henry Winter Davis, and other men of “ pro gressive” ideas, but yet the deceased President, we are safe in saying, never yielded ids opinions on the subject of re construction. In his official .letters, in his speeches, and in his pxnvate conver sations, he maintained his ground firmly and defiantly. Mr. Lincoln, it is well known, was not a man of nerve, nor had he much confidence in his own judgment, but in regard to admitting loyal representatives in Congress from the States lately in re bellion, his mind appeared to be made up. He was for admitting them as fast as they applied for admission. To prove that Mr. Lincoln occupied this position —the position now occupied by President Johnson— we copy below a letter written by him to Hon. Edward Stanley, when he was about to return to his du ties as military Governor of North Caro lina. This letter indicates Mr. Lincoln’s views upon reconstruction; - Executive Mansion, ) Washixgtox, Sept. 21), 1802. j Hon. Edward Stanley: Mv Dear Sin—Your note* Informing mo that you wj)J leave for ZiovtU Carolina soon, is re* col von. \our conduct as military Governor, as reported to mo by General Nurniddo, and as I Imye heard it personally from yourself, has mv entire approbation, and It is with great satisfac tion that I learn yon are now to return in the amne capacity with tile approbation of the War Department. I shall be much grotlllod, if you can find it practicable, to have Oongmsslonnl olo otlons hold In that State before January, ft Is my sincere ■wish that North Carolina may again govern her self conformably to the Constitution of the Uni ted States. Vours, very truly, So much for Mr. Lincoln’s views.— Are they not the same that Mr. John son holds to now? Every candid man will say they are. Are they not the same that Mr. Johnson publicly announced previous to his nomination as the Repub lican candidate for Vice President? Cer tainly. Pour years ago, when Andmew Johnson was Governor of Tennessee— and, of course, before the Republicans made him flielr candidate for Vice Pres ident—hp made a speech, from which the following is a brief extract. It will be seen .that the principle ho enunciated then, with regard to the effect of rebel lion, is precisely the same as that he now upholds in his policy of restoration. He has not changed his views one iota, nor abandoned the ground he held all through the war. He then maintained that the Union was indissoluble, and could not be destroyed by secession. Re holds now that the rebellion did not dissolve it. If he was right then, he cannot be wrong now. He remains true and consistent in his allegiance to the Union. Jt is the party which elected him that has changed front; and in doing this they have proved themselves disunionists and traitors.— Here is what Anukew Johnson said in a public speech; •'Theidea lias boon cuqnlngly circulated that after the rebellion Ims boon suppressed, the North will not let us bach into the Union, nor let us have a.State Government! What shallow low humhuggery and deception ! Some think we must petition the. Government to get back into Hie Union. I deny the doctrine of secession wholly, absolutely, Mo ccvlo.

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE WOULD.] Washington, December 2. —The Pre sident’s annual Message will lie delivered to Congress at about 1 o’clock I*. M. to morrow. Probably at no previous period has speculation been so rife and so wild regarding its contents. It will be found, however, that none of the recently agita ted questions of amnesty and suffrage are alluded to in the message in the remotest particular, nor does lie intimate nr pro pose any amendments to the Constitution ns represented. - But, on the contrary, the President and closely to his policy of restoration, and urges it with renewed vigor on Congress. The Presi dent opens his Message with the proper thanks to the Providence which has pre served the land from pestilence, and then proceeds direct to the consideration of the national situation, opposing, as will be seen, the making of any conditions pre cedent to restoration except those known to the Constitution, and favoring immedi ate admission of duly qualified loyal rep resentatives to Congress. He asks noth ing more ; he concedes nothing less. Af ter reviewing the progress of reconstruc tion as developed by the appointment of Provisional Governors, etc., the inaugur ation of tile Revenue, Judicial, and Pos tal systems of the government through out the South down to the close of the last session of Congress, the President oon chfdes in his Message all he has to say on the subject of restoration in the following language: “ Congress, however, hesitated to ad mit any of these States to representation, and it was not until the close of the Bth mouth of the last session that an excep tion was made in the cose of Tennessee. I deem it a subject of profound regret that Congress has thus far failed to admit to seats loyal Senators and Representatives from the other States, whose inhabitants, with those of Tennessee, had engaged in rebellion. Ten States, move than one fourth of the whole number, remain without representation. The seats of fif ty members of the House and twenty of the Senate are yet vacant, not by their own consent, not by a failure of election, but by the refusal of Congress t6’ accept their credentials. Their admission, it is believed, would have accomplished much towards the renewal and strengthening of our relations as one'people, and removed, serious cause for discontent on the part of the people of these States. It would have accorded with the great principle enunci ated in the Declaration of independence that no people ought to bear the burden of taxation, and yet be denied represen tation. It would have been consistent with the express provisions of the Consti tution that each State shall have at least one representative, and that no State, with out its consent, shall be deprived of equal suffrage in the Senate. These provisions were intended to secure every State the right of representation in Congress, and so important was it deemed by the fra mers of the Constitution that the equality of the States shall be preserved'in, the Senate, that not even by an amend ment to the Constitution can any State without its consent be denied a voice in that branch of the National Legislature. It has been assumed that these States hy. rebellion became Territories, but all de partments of the government with great distinctness refused to sanction an as sumption so incompatible with the nature of our republican system, and the profess ed objects of the war. Throughout the re- i cent legislation of Congress, the undeni able fact makes itself apparent that these i ten (10) political communities are nothing ■ less than States.” A. Lincoln. The President then refers to the legis lation of Congress, and the proclamation of Lincoln sustaining this position. He then proceedes as follows: “In the admission of Senators and Rep resentatives from all of the States there can be no just ground of apprehension that persons who are djsioyai will be clothed with the powers of legislation, for this could not happen when the Constitution and laws are enforced by a vigilant and faithful Congress, Each House is the judge of the returns and qualifications of its own members. A Senator or member may be admitted or rejected, or his cre dentials referred to a proper committee if admitted to a seat. It must be on evi dence satisfactory to the House of which he becomes a member, that he possesses the legal and constitutional qualifications. If refused admission and sent to his con stituents for want of due allegiance, they arc admonished that none but persons loyal to the United States will be allowed in the councils of the nation,.and the po litical power and moral iniluence of Con gress are thus effectively exerted iu the interests of loyalty to the government and fidelity to the Union. Upon this question s <> vitally affected the restoration of the Union and the permanancy of our form of government, my convictions, heretofore expressed, have undergone no change; but, Qn the contrary, their, correctness has been confirmed by time and reflection. If the admission of loyal members to seats in Congress was wise and expedient a year ago, it is no leas wise and expedient now : if in the exact condition of these States at the present time, it is lawful to exclude them from representation, I do not see that the question will be changed by the efflux of time. Ten years hence, if these States remain as they are, the right of rep resentation will be no stronger, and the right of exclusion \yi(i bo no weaker. The Constitutioq makes it the duty of the Pre sident to ro.conjiqepd to the consideration of Congress such' measures qa ho shah deem expedient. J Unqw <ff ni) rgca.fy.res more imperatively demandedby every con sideration of national interest, sound poli cy, and equal Justice than the admission of. Loyal members from the unrepresented States. It wouldoonsummaterestoration, renew vigor and stability, remove doubt, induce emigration, open now fields of en terprise.” ; Tile President then proceeded to discuss our foreign affairs. He says that with Great Britain the progress toward an ad justment of the Alabama claims has been slow, owing in some degree to a change ip the British Ministry, but matters in that regard loot; favorable. lie slates that France has not complied with her agreement to take her troops out of Mexico, hut has inlii/fqtcd a postpone ment till spring. This government has re monstrated, but the President sags no re ply has hr-fn received from the Emperor as to what he will do, but a satisfactory ad justment is hoped for, General Sherman has merely gone to Mexico iq ;jn advisory capacity tp Campbell. The Message issileqtoq the question of a Mexican protectorate and treaty, <fec., and makes no allusion to Maximillian whatever. In concluding the Message the President says: “ The Interests of the nation are best promoted by the revival of fraternal ref lations, the complete obliteration of our differences, and the Inauguration of all the pursuits of peace. Directing our' ef forts to the early accomplishment of these great ends, let us apdeavor to preserve harmony between the popfdinate depart ments of the government, that egoh in its proper sphere may. cordially co operate with tho other in securing tho mainte nance of tho Constitution, the preservation of the Union, and tho perpetuity pf free institutions.'' p Afte? tue OPOIM.—The JV V Herald thinks “It is vevj' lttco) y that Ben Butler and his fellow Jacobins wJ"' d be gllu J to drive Congress into somecourso of action calculated to disturb thepeaoe of thocoun try.

Ol>^2? jr 2, * F SBCOSD SESSION OF THE THIBTF- NINTH CONGRESS. Scenes in the Tlonse Vjion llio Hemline of tho Message. " Washington, Dec. 3. THE OPENING OP CONGRESS. The second session of the Thirty-ninth Congress assembled at noon to-day. The crowd in the galleries and lobbies of the two houses was quite as large as on simi lar occasions. Judging from the charac ter of tlie bills introduced in the House this morning, the session will be anything but a quiet one. The strict adherence of the President to the policy sot forth in his annual message in December last, and the equally strict adherence of the majority in Congress to their peculiar party plat form, gives promise of a renewal of the exciting scenes of last session, if nothing worse. The measures brought forward in tlie lower branch of Congress to-day are full of mischief, and conceived solely for the purpose of warring upon the Ex- i ecutive. There seems to be no doubt among the leaders of the'domiuant party i that they will be able to carry any ex treme measure that may be proposed, and tlWMwWge of their numericalstrength will doubtless induce them to offer and advocate the most ultra Radical plan for the subjugation of the white people of the Southern States. The repeal to-day by the House of the thirteenth section of the act of July 17, 18C2, authorizing the Pres ident to extend amnesty and pardon to persons who were engaged in the late re bellion, was simply a step in that direc- I tiou, which from present indications, is to be followed by others of a similar na ture. The talk about impeachment, which had somewhat subsided during the past two weeks, was revived around the Capi tol this afternoon. Several leading Radi cals of the House are'said to have advoca- I tod it strongly in private conversation. THE WELCOME TO CONGRESS. . This afternoon quite fl large procession, with banners and music arrived at the east front of the Capitol, awaiting the ad journment of the two houses, in order to welcome back the Radical Senators and Representatives to the national metropo lis. Tlie procession and attending crowd were composed almost exclusively of ne groes ; not one in a hundred of those pres ent were white. Altogether, it was the blackest affair ever witnessed in the Dis trict of Columbia. BUTLER. [Correspondence Cincinnati Inquirer.) New Orleans, La., Oct. B;— While the Confederate army of the West was at Tu poia, Mississippi, General Butler was in New Orleans, and for months this noble, patriotic, unselfish man supplied them with boots, shoes, salt, gunpowder, per cussion caps, &c., &c. Does any man doubt this assertion ? If so, let that man go to Jackson, Mississippi, or tonny point on the New Orleans railroad below Jack son , and ask anybody living upon the rail road if supplies of all kinds were not regu larly sent over the road from New Or leans. Let the unbeliever inquire for a certain Captain Colby, (formerly known in Cin cinnati, Ohio,) who was a commissary in the Confederate army, and stationed at Jackson, Mississippi, whether he did not receive constantly large supplies of coffee, salt, &e., for a period extending over eigh teen months. The writer of this articles while in Jackson, Mississippi, in the sum mer of 1862, had occasion to visit the chief clerk of Captain Colby, a Mr. Bliss, for merly GovernorofColeradoTerritoiy, and while there heard aeon versation take place between Col. Jones, of General Bragg’s staff, and a confidential agent of General Butler, in which it was agreed on the part of General Butler to furnish the Confed erate army,of the West with shoes, blank ets, salt, &c., and that 5,000 sacks of salt should be deli vered-rif I remember right in three weeks. Bliss and myself were separated from the speakers by a board partition, hot well made, and could hear the entire conversation. As wo listened wc became much interested, and exchang ed frequent significant winks, both being good Confederates. Bliss afterward “ sloped” to avoid the conscript law; he was a fine fellow for all that, however. Butler’s agent wanted a bale of cotton for a sack of salt, and the parties came near splitting on the point. Don't know how it was settled, but Know that supplies came in regular. Upon the evening of the same day that the conversation above reported took place I visited the headquarters of Gent Van Dorn, and while talking to two of my old acquaintances—Col. Ned. Billion, chief commissary, and Colonel Lomax, both graduates of West Point—Gen. Van Dorn himself came in laughing—“ Well,” said he to Colonel Lomax, " I have just had a proposition from Gen. Butler and he pro-- poses to supply our army with all we want providing!willsendhim cotton.” “What an infernal scoundrel he is,” said Van Doru. To this we all unhesitatingly agreed. “ What a spectacle of depravity is here presented—-a man furnishing gun powder to slay his comrades and clothes and food to supply their enemies.” I have been a Confederate soldier of the fighting department, and have met on many fields the noble soldiers of the North west, and I have thought, when I saw them dead and lying around me, that they had probably fallen, killed by amuiiition furnished by General Butler. Now, this • shape infernal,” presents himself before the people of the North, and has been hailed with applause by thousands. Some months ago, I wrote to Secretary Stanton, giving him the “points” against Butler, and the names of the witnesses,' but nothing has been done, I wrote a private letter to Secretary Stanton in re* gard to this matter, but not a move has ever been made against him. iIoiTN E).

To-tlny the second session of the Rump Con gress begins, and If wo rnay Judge by what bus al ready transpired in the Radical Caucus, Its pro ceedings will bo oven more revolutionary, vin dictive and ruthless than was the Incoherent madness which disgraced the halls of legislation during the flint six months of the present year.— The proceedings of this Caucus, held on Satur day evening, were enough to bring the blush of slinnf o to the cheek of every free American citi zen. As tljo first matter-of business, old Thad Stevens offered q, resolution that the Senate bo requested not to confirm aqy appointees of the President, when there Is reason to believe their predecessors were removed for political purpo ses. This move was-greeted with B to rm of applause; and after spnje' but or ontL vindic tive reujarlts by fjtoyeijs, Kplly and others, It was passed unanimously. Epoouragad by the success of his first move, old Thnd. was again on his feet and road a bill, which he Intends to offer ns soon US the House is ready to proceed to' buslnesa - Tljls bqi provides that the President shall make no reippyifle from office without the consent of the Seppt.6, that till those wlio have been rejected by the Senate shall bo deprived oi their pay, and shall bo ineligible to aiiy office for the period of three years after suoh rejection)' kffiye.ms was again greeted with a storm of applause; and was followed by Boutwell, of Massachusetts, who de clared that President Johnson “knew all the Ah>>t> where John Surratt had been, and not only made in, e/Jprt to arrest him, but had connived at his escape." He the public ac ts of John son should bo Investigated from' thij (fay of his drunken Inauguration ns Vico President down to Pip present Wipe;” and lie concluded his re iparks hy the impeachment of tho President.

These Commissioners are to. arm and organize tho colored people of the South Into militia regiments, for the purpose of enfor cing upon the white people of tho South the hu ♦mUlatlng decrees.of the Star Chamber. To-day, atnbon, the mass welcome to Congress takes place, in which all sort of military and civ ic organizations (white and block) will partici pate. To-night there will bo a grand supper.—. Darkles have been at work, for two or three days past, making tho roof of the old Fair Barrack, at tho comer of Pennsylvanla Avenue and Seventh street, water-tight, for there tho grand carnival Is to bo held. The drunken and maudlin M. C.’s will again have a chance to embrace tho colored waiters, ns they did some time ago, at Willard’s Hotel. They can go the whole hog on miscegen ation, as that Is tho fashion now. Only Radical Congressmen will bo at the bacchanalian feast, and they can go it os strong as they desire with out offending any one’s stomach with their besti alities. Tho object of tills grand demonstrotlon is to stiffen the backbones of tho weaker brethren, and to intimidate tho President. None other than a Consolidated Despotism party would have ever presumed to back up the contemplated usur pations of its loaders In Congress by means of a standing army of its adherents, as tho Radical organization Is now preparing to do. There is no bettor evidence needed to prove tho speedy downfall of the Republic than the fact that arm ed partisans are to stand guard oyer the halls of legislation, to Intimidate the minority and the Constitutional Executive. France, during Its most diabolical revolutions never presented a spectacle more alarming and debasing. It looks as if Constitutional liberty were about to pass away, and that tho power of the people is depart ing from them. * If it bo the intention of these parties to frighten the President by their bullying, I think they will find themselves mistaken. Notwithstanding his long public career, few men seem to bo less un derstood than Andrew Johnson. That he is a man of strong convictions and earnest purposes is evident from the manner in which he advoca ted and pushed forward important measures Jn Congress, like the Homestead BUI, and the stand he took against secession and in favor of the Qov- • eminent during the late civil war. Ho believes that the manner in which he proposed that the GovermnentshoulddearwiththoSoutbern States was not only a magnanimous one, but the only one likely to result In a speedy and hearty recon ciliation between the two sections; and he has felt it to bo his duty to sustain his views by the exercise of such powers as the Constitution had clothed him with. But while this has been, and win continue to be, his course, ho will violate no law nor fail to perform the duties which are le gally devolved, upon him. He wIU veto every bill that ho may regard unconstitutional, no mat ter how unpopular it may bo for him to do so.— But ho will execute with unscrupulous fidelity all laws, and especially those to which ho has de clined to give his omcial sanction. His message will not be sentln until this afternoon, butl ven ture to predict, in advance, that it will not yield one Jot or tittle of the position he has taken on the question of reconstruction, while'at the same time it will he courteousand dignified. My word for it, Andrew Johnson has more back-hone than many of his weak-kneed friends think ho has. Strange as it may seem the Democratic party In Congress Will hold the balance of power during the coming session. The affairs of the country are In a dead lock. The Constitutional Amend ment lias been defeated, notwithstanding the hue and cry raised in its favor by some weak kneed Democrats. The Radicals may exclude the Southern States from their rightful represen- Congress, but what good will it do them? They cannot thereby pass their Amendment,— The Democratic party of the country is to-day strong enough to prevent the passage of any -Amendments© the Constitution, and there let it stand, for half a century, if necessary, rather than yield to the inroads of Radical fanaticism.

M. 1 . . Bobbery. — On Wednesday, night of last week, Capt. Ziun, of Meehanicsbnrg,, arrested and brought from that place a deserter.from the Carlisle Barracks. In stead of at once taking him to the post, he confined him temporarily in a room in the hotel of Mr. George Wetzel. Du ring the night the prisoner succeeded in making his escape from the room In which he was lodged, made his way.tqan adjoining apartment, - from whence : he purloined a large quantity of valuable fe male wearing apparel, consisting of silk dresses, mantillas, &c. Subsequently, Constable Martin succeeded in re-arrest ing the deserter and thief, and . lodging him in Carlisle jail. The stolen property, we believe, has not been recovered. The County Offioebs."— The new Court House officers, who were elected at the lute election for the ensuing three years, entered upon the duties of their re spective offices on-Saturday last. They, are as follows .* Prothonotary— Capt. John P. Brindle, succeeding Benjamin Duke, Esq. Clerk and Recorder —Samuel Bixler, succeeding Ephraim Cornman, Esq. Register —Maj. Jacob Dorsbeimer, suc ceeding Qeo. W. North, Esq. The retiring officers—Messrs. Duke, Cornman and North—have entitled.them selves to the goo'd will and esteem of all who have had business relations wi th them —by their uniform courtesy and kindness, as well as by the integrity and- efficiency with which they have discharged tbie du ties of their several positions. They will carry with them into private life the best wishes of ail their acquaintances. We trust the new incumbents will, in all.re speots prove themselves os capable, effi cient and.adcommodating as their prede cessors ; and have no doubt they will fully meet public expectation, for the party which elected them was particular ly fortunate in its selection of candidates. The Borough.— During a recent walk through the principal streets of the Bor ough, we were glad to see that a large pro portion.of the houses'had been numbered, and we presume that in a little time every house in town will have its appropriate number prefixed; to it. This has been done, in accordance with absolution of Council, and we would have been bet ter pleased, in order to make the, color of the numbers uniform, had an officer been appointed- whpae business it would have been expressly to have seen to this matter. As It is, however, this number-' ingof the houses will be a great conve nience to persons having business with, our citizens. * : We are pleased to note this evidence of improvement, slight though it be, and cannot help thinking that our “venera ble and ancient borough’! is about.; to awake to a new existence. Indeed, all, that is necessary to give Carlisle a new and favorable impetus oh the road of pro- ; gress and wealth is a little more enter prise and liberality upon. the part of our own people, ■ , The Carlisle Map and Directory.! The work of making a Map and Direc-i tory of this place, lately undertaken by Mr. Strong, (which was noticed in our journal two weeks, ago,) has progressed favorably. We are confident that such a publication will prove of, great advantage,: provided it shall bewell executed, for we : have no map that shows the present lim its of the Borough, or the position of the' lots as they are owned at present. 'We have examined the draft of the South east quarter of the town, and can safely say that Mr. Strong has showed-that he is competent to carry out the task he has undertaken, and doubt; not, butjhat we shall have a map that .will represent, the place in a manner that wemay have rea son to be proud of. , The present opportu nity of securing a publication' of this kind,, is one which we should not let pass. Attempt to Throw a Train From the Track.—An attempt was made oh Thanksgiving night, to throw the extra train on the Cumberland Valley rail-road from the track, a short distance above Shippensburg. Iron bars had been plac ed across the track, but, fortunately, the train was moving, slowly, and the cow-; catcher of the engine shoved the obstruct tions aside.. Sad the cars been ■ running at the usual railroad speed, a terribly fa tal accident must have been the result.— It is to be regretted that fiends who would sacrifice the lives of passengers in order to gratify their, own devilish malignity, cannot be discovered and visited with the extreme penalty of the law, » B^ ATEST ‘ new honnot, asserted to be the latest and loveliest, has made its appearance.
