THE PRESIDE* I'B SPEECH.
Absence from the editorial chair, during j
last week, preventing the expression of our
views upon the important events which j
have lately transpired at the National Cap
ital. The feelings of amazement, and in 1
tense disgu-t with which we road the Pres- i
| ident's harangue to the mob ol secession
ists and returned rebel soldiers, trom tin
steps of the White House, 011 the 22d ult., ,
have in the meantime, given way to ap- ■
prehension and a sense of danger which
I threatens the country. It has been no se- >
cret to those conversant with the state of j
' affairs at Washington, for the past few
weeks, that President JOHNSON was becom
ing alienated from the party which placed
him in power, and a traitor to the princi
ples revered and promu gated by the Repub
lican organization. There has been, during
the session of Congress, a constant state ot
feverish apprehension that the President,in
spite of his former speeches, and in the face
of the popular demands, was ready to throw
himself into the embrace of the Copper
heads. Wherever treason had been most
1 malignant, wherever sympathy with seces
sion most virulent, there has been found
the most extravagant and fulsome adula
tion of the President, and the manifestation
of newly awakened hopes, which pointed tn
the control of the Executive, and tin; eui
joymeiit of Presidential favors.
The fears of the Unionists, and the hopes
■ f the traitors,culminated in the President's
veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bill, prepar
ed by Gen. HOWARD, and sanctioned in its de
tails before it was presented to Congress,
by the President himself. We shall not
now discuss that veto ; the fallacy of the
President's objections have been fully
shown. The veto itself, may be more or ,
less liable to objection. It is with the mo
tivea which prompted that veto, that we
j have now specially to deal. That message
removed the flimsy veil which had hereto
fore cloaked the Presidential designs, and
revealed him in all the deformity of a trai
i tor to the party which elected him, and to
the principles which were so plainly and
emphaticly endorsed and enunciated by the
Republican party in the Presidential Can-1
vuss of 1864
11 any doubt remained as to the inten
tion and apostacy of ANDREW JOHNSON, his
unfortunate ami intemperate harangue ol 1
the 22d ult., has dispel ed it all. Surround
ed by u howling mob of traitors, fur which
Washington is particularly distinguished,
he gave utterance to sentiments which dis
graced the high office he fills, and delighted
the rebel auditors who were wild with ex
-1 ultation. That speech has reddened the j
cheek of every patriot with shame. It finds
m> apologia in the bitterest rebel sympa
thize of the North. While the Copper
heads are exultant in the prospect of the
apostacy of ANDREW JOHNSON, and the dai.-
| ger of division which threatens the Repub
lican party, their presses have no word of
apology for his unseemly and degrading
exhibitions of passion.
The Democratic party looks to the re-en
slavemeut of the Freedmen. In times past
the comer stone of that organization has
been Slavery. It made that organization
compact and powerful. The party there
fore lias opposed Emancipation. It stead
fastly opposes everything that looks to the
elevation of the Freedman. In the future,
it sees for itself no hope of success, but in
the consolidation of that great interest
which has heretofore swayed the political
destinies of the country. It is to this party
that President JOHNS >N has allied himself.
He throws himself into tne open arms ol
those who, failing after years of bloodshed,
to subvert and overthrow the Government,
now seek to bring the country back to its
condition in 1860 What violence could
not accomplish, they hope by political chi
canery to effect. The great events ot the
last four years are to neutralized; the
wheels of progress to be stayed : the man
acles to be again riveted on the ! tubs of
the freed ; and the broken sceptre ol des
potism to be made whole ANDREW JOHN
SON gives himself heart and soul to these
unholy schemes. II brauds as a lie liis
former professions j he shatters with a
• breath the popular confidence in his hones
ty aud patriotism ; he endeavors to set
. back the hands on the dial of time, ho casts
i himself before the wheels of progress, in
' the vain hope of staying their onward ca
ree : -let him be crushed before their rev
olutions
. i
The downfall ol ANDREW JOHNS .N, is the
, saddest spectacle ever presented in the po
litical history of the nation. The Repub
lican National Convention of 1864. put
* aside one of the truest men of the land, to
1 give room for him, to show the world
the highest possible appreciation of his
' courage and patriotism. He had defied
treason at home and boldly denounced it in
the Senate. When the inscrutable provi-
I deuce of the Almighty removed LINCOLN
I from the helm, ANDREW J >HNS N came into
• the Presidential chair, with a proud record,
1 and a fame which the wisest and thegreat
! est might have envied. H>w has the
mighty fallen ! Treason has no longer be
-1 come odious in his sight ; the promised
Moses to the freedmen, has become the
Pharaoh, who would consign them again to
bonds. Red-handed traitors listen enrap
tured tohis utterances as he denounces the
, tried friends of Freedom, and returned reh
. els applaud to the echo. Ilis lame apolo
• gies,aud hypocritical professions f honesty
and devotion to the Constitution, awaken
* in the public mind only the gravest appre- 1
> hensioiis of alarm and distrust. The future
becomes shrouded with gloom. Congress
staii'ls with remarkable fi lelity to the cause
1 of humanity, unawed by Presidential de
nunciation, uuseduced by Presidential pat- i
rotiage. But Congress cannot do anything
. to settle the distracted affairs of the coun-1
try without the co-uperaUou of the Exeou- j
tive. Tha' 1-operatioti he seems deter
mined to withhold, either from a foolish ob
stinacy, or from a spirit of usurpation, or
from the promptings of a mad ambition,
which vainly looks to the Democratic par
ty for re-election. Whilst we hope for the
I>est, we must confess that we see but lit j
rle in the future which is encouraging The
madness which has seized upon ANDREW
JOHNSON, if persisted in, will plunge our
country into a new complication of difficulty
and danger. In the meantime, the faithful
Representatives of the people in Congiess,
should receive the hearty support of every
patriot. The one man power which sets up
a "policy" in defiance of the popular will, |
should be denounced as a usurpation of tin- j
rights of the people and dangerous to the j
liberties of the country.
ARB THE SOUTHERN STATES IX OR OUT OK
THE UNION !
Our political opponents effect to believe !
that the rebel States did not go out of the
Union when they seceded, although, while
tlie rebellion was iu full blast, these same
men were just as earnest in demonstrating ,
that the States had a l ight to secede ; and
what is seceding from, if it is not going
out, ol the Union? This, however, is only
another illustration of the varying phases
which that party is alt ruately assuming
But it is a favorable indication to see it so
lar returning to its duty, as to argue that
the rebel States are Hot out of the Union, li
is a better position than it occupied only
two years ago. Then that party in solemn
conclave, at Chicago, resolved that the war
on the part of the Free States "was a fail
ure and it was a failure on our side, it
must have been a success on the other; and
it it was a success 011 the part of the rebels,
were the seceded States iu the Union, Messrs
Democrats? During the four years of the
war, this was the position of that party,
and argument alter argument was urged iu
proof of the correctness of the case ; and
the republicans, and the government, were
censured, nay abused, for resisting this dis
loyal and pel verse doctrine. Now, how
ever,[without any apology, or even a blush,
they jump on the other side, and insist that
i the rebel States ore not out of the Union
Well, we repeat, we shall not find fault
with this glaring inconsistency, since tin
doctrine of our opponents is improved,
though we strongly suspect that the motive
for this change is anything but praise
worthy. The object is to make political al
lies of the rebels. They were allies before
and during the war, and the war was the
lYuit of their combined efforts at adminis
-1 tinting the government. The democrats
appear to esteem it no discredit to form
an alliance with the desperate characters
: who butchered our people, starved our sol
diers, attempted to burn our cities, and in
lest with fatal diseases the people of the
I country ; and they say too, they are loyal,
yet how comes it that they flock to the reb
els, and the rebels to them ? If they are
loyal, how conn- their sympathies to go out
j alter the disloyal, and the sympathies of
the disloyal after them ? But we digress.
Our purpose iu c uumenciug this article
was to expose the fallacy of soiin of the
arguments used by tin? democrats to prove
that the rebel States did not g • out of the
Union by secession.
We have always .contended that St ites
hail no right to secede, jet the slave
holders did carry secession into tfiect, and
thereby carried their States out ot the Un
ion. Upon the same principle an individual
member of society may commit crime, but
tie has no right to do so ; and as the man is
thrown outside of the pale of society by
t be commission of crime, so the rebel Stati-s,
by accession, carried themselves out of the
Union. For, it is not the act of society
which effects the rights of individuals, hut
the individual's own acts. No power under
! the government can impair any social, civ
il or personal rights of its members, so
long as these members remain true to the
government ; but these members may, each
for himself, destroy all by a single act •
crime. So too, no power under the 0 insti
tution, can effect the re served rights of tin-
States, hut the Stales can efleet these rights
by their own acts And in this discussion,
it seems to be entirely forgotten that the
expressed will of a State, may effect her po
sition, or her relations to the government
as that of any other corporate body is ef
fected. A rail-road company, for example,
after it has incurred many expenses, may
determine, by the votes of its managers, to
dissolve, making no provision for the pay
ment of its debts, or the fulfillment of other
obligations. This would he against law
and justice ; but the act of dissolution
would be more the final And the State of
.
1 Mississippi, some years ago, repudiated a
heavy debt she had fa My incurred. The
action of her Legislature on the question
was final ; and it was a great wrong. Site
had no right thus to ict, but that was n >
hindrance ; and it to State of Mississippi
could thus swindle lu.-i creditors, what is to
hinder her from n-s.ilving herself out of the
Union ? And tiie resolve to secede from
the Union, was just as effective as the re
solve to swindle. Bit it were carried into
j effect, and both were decided. Furthermore,
tive out of twelve directors may withdraw
from a corporate body, and tlcy may do
every thing in their power to injure the in
terests of the seven remaining directors,
but the seven cannot hinder the five from
withdrawing, or from making war upon
them. The act >if the latter would be final,
and it would be absurd to hold that the for
mer could withhold them. So with the se
-1 ceded States. Their resolves to si-cede took
them out of the Union, and it is simply ab
surd to contend that they could not vote
j themselves out ot the Union, because the
i Constitution ot tin- Federal Government,
makes 110 provision to this effect.
But our political opponents say, "that as
the rebels were in the minority their acts of
secession were invalid." This is not wholly
Correct. Fur the nets of secession were
adopti d by the States in their individual
| character; and the majority of the people
j of these States approved, or were acqui
cxced in—by the majority of those partici-J
pitting in them. The democrats "t Penn
sylvania had no opportunity to vote on the
question whether South Carolina should se
cede or not. In all nrobability, tiny would
have voted just us did the democrats ot
that Stale ; but their voting would have
changed the result, and we question very j
much whether it would have made it right, j
though the democrats say it would.
Then it is argued, "that because the Con- j
stilutioii contemplates perpetual Union, |
therefore, States cannot go out.'' Yet every '
day are perpetual contracts broken, autl j
what is to hinder theui Iroiu being broken j
as well as other contracts? An Insurance i
'company may issue policies ot perpetual
insurance one day and lail the next ; and
it she fails, are her policies still good ? The |
Confederate States of America contracted
with ttie Southern people to erect a perma
nent slave government, but they tailed ;
ami is iins government still in existence,
because of the agreement to create it ? is
this not gross lattacy ?
Still weaker tliaii this is the assumption
"that as the tJonslitUlton makes no provis
ion lor the withdrawal ul Stales, tUcrelore,
StuU-s can not go out." W tiy there is no
provision made lor men's committing crime,
yet men do it ; and is it true, or sane, to
say that men cannot commit crime, because
Ui*-re is no provision made for it ? Queer
logic.
Another woudcrf'ul consideration, or ar
gument that is urged, is "that as the rebels
did not carry out with them on their bucks
their (houses and lands) territory,therefore,
they did not go out of the Union." flow
profound ! A man owning a piece ot land
m Illinois, may sell it to another in Penn
sylvania, give the deed in lee, and take the
money for it, yet it is not transferred, ac
cord ng to tiiis doctrine, because the land
in Illinois is not removed to Pennsylvania !
Or, when Napoleon I, extended the bound
aries of France to the banks of the Rhine,
the Sov. reignty of the soil was not chang
ed, because the territory lying between the
the old boundaries of France and the Rhine,
was not literally earned over to France.
IIIIVV lue'd and logical modern democrats
are becoming i
Next they have it, "that, the rebels did
nut go out of the Union because they did
not get their independence." For four
■ years the rebels successfully resisted our
arms, and wi re as independent of us as the
people of England. So that il securing in-1
dependence took them out of the I uion, it
follows as a necessary sequence, that tliey
i
were out so long as they were independent;
and il they had been thus independent h.r
forty years instead of four, would tliey have
been in the Union during all this time? Is
the idea not absurd ? and if absurd for forty,
why not for four years ?
it is also held, "that inasmuch as the
general government has established post
roads, post offices,courts and custom houses,
in the rebel States, it liillst follow that they
are in the Union." We hold that no such
thing follows. For the government almost
every year does these same things in the
territories, still, it does not make States of
tin in. Nor is it any evidence iu favor of
that condition.
It w;c our purpose in the beginning to
follow up and expose the weakness of every
position assumed to favor of the idea that the
rebel States did not go out ot the Union by
see .'ssion, but this article is already too
long, and the points remaining, are m>
strong* r than those we have noticed, and
therefore hardly deserving so much atten
tion

graleoil thanks lor the skill and kind attention mulct
j ed to my daughter, whose ears have been badly effected
I lor many years, and for noire months p is* has fa- n

i seuse is certainly a sad deprivation painfully einbarius

perieiiced it. I', therelore. there Ih-a remedy icr this j
great evil, the cause of humanity • bvl msly requires that
it should he universally disseminated. 1 feel it a duty,
therefore, and it afl'ords me much pleasure, to give my
testimony to Ihe hap j v fleets it yiur tieuuiient and
remedies. My daughter lias si RVied trom dealness sin e
early* childhood. The leit ear has been badly di-ea-ed.
the right ear also, for several years was seriously al
lected.aiid the die°se a) patently increasing, threaten
I ing the entire loss of hearing, it was with extieme dil*
Acuity that she should participate in the couversatioti
jot her friends, and for two yeats has been depiived ol
Ii is social enjoyment. Happily uiy attention was
drawn to your advertisement, and I was indit ed to
place her in your care. Your treatment, under luvor ol
a kind providence, has been .successful. Her hearing so
tar as 1 can judge, appears to be perfectly restored.—
Whether this restoration is permanent is a question time
alone can determine, but present results are ceituiuly
very grati yutig.
