It was something to bo assared that the,. President' s' moSSage - feltiperaTe (loon Meet, and so 'far as he' iiixitains from the downright abuse to which his speeches have accustomed us, it may be - adinitted to - be saber. But there is an intemperance of thought from Which Andrew SOhnson ;is never free, and the argument which he laid before Congress is not one whit' more worthy of respect than his language When he called Congress a body of traitors, and suggested the hanging of its lenders. ' Mr. Johnson does not appear to rement- . ber the rebellion. Thittlen Staten, in, their sovereign capacitY,declaredthe Union destroyed,'; and foright for fotir years' to make that - declaration good, is a. fact which he would gladly persuade us to forget: He insults' the' Constitution - by avowing it , to, be the protection of traitors, the bar to all progiess—an: absolute' tyranny over loyal men,-and abroad license to all rebels. We do not need to prove this ;'the President has spared -us the trouble . by his - own words. Ho declares that:the rebel States have the • right tnitiritedinte 'representation in ten:: gross, taking the ground that rebellion give's the nation no right over . tho reorgan ization ciftheir governments, and no ,power to exaet conditions before they re=enter the - , Union they did their best to ' Zs it' worth while , to 'expose an argument so, , utterly inibecilelL9 this?
