DUTTON. tYENING BULLETIN. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1866. THE POWER OF THE PEOPEE. Mr. Johnson is as unfortunate in his choice of counsellors, as he is when he undertakes to fight his own battles before the people. As he drives one after another of Mr. Lincoln’s trusted officers from the Cabinet, he fills their places with men who seem to be chosen for their pliancy to his will, rather than for their personal abilities or their past services to the country., Thus far Mr. Johnson has made out very badly in this department of his policy, The men he has selected are ready to be his tools, but they are bad tools. Mr. Ran dall did his best to prostitute the powers of the Post Office Department to the ig noble work of corrupting and demoral izing the Union party, but he failed miserably. His unworthy efforts to obey, the behests of his employer re coiled ' upon the heads of master and servant alike. A chord was inadvert ently touched which rang out with a patriotic echo from all quarters of the land, telling to the President and the people that there were thousands of humble office-holders, too rich in self, respect and too honest in their, devo tion to principle, to be ' bought or bullied. The latest and best specimen of the bungling way in which the President’s new advisers are doing their work, is io be seen in Secretary Browning’s re cent letter. It is set forth by authority and claims to have the direct endorse ment and approval of Mr. Johnson. It is a sort of preliminary President’s Mes sage and is valuable on that account. It is a miracle of feebleness as an argu ment against the,Constitutional Amend mentj and it is beneath contempt as a statesmanlike document. It is not our present purpose to. go into any general examination of • its fallacies, but there are one Orijtwo points which may be briefly nojd§|d. The most absurd position is taken by Mr. Browning in the commencement of his attack upon Congress, whenhe first asserts that “the safety ofafree Govern ment is in keeping the power near the people,” and then almost immediately declares that the representative branch of the Government is “the only depart ment from the encroachments of which any serious danger to our institutions is to be apprehended.” Mr. Browning's idea of keeping the power near the peo ple is, to vest it in the President. If he could have traveled through 3Sow Eng land as we didrecexitly, side by side with the “Druid” despatch, he could nothaVe failed to be impressed with the convic- tion that the people mean to keep the power near them* Through every Va riety of form in which the popiilarfeel ing found expression, in regard to the President’s supposed programme for the overthrow of Congress, one idea ran, like a thread of steel. Everywhere the issue which that des patch made was acceptedas a question between the people and the one-man power of the President. In the cars, at the railway stations, in the villages, at the roadside, there was but one thought and-one determination, and that was “to keep the power near the people.” “Wa’sl,” said a sturdy' Connecticut farmer,’’ljreckon we’ll have to show the 4>ldman that he ain’t quite the govern" asaent !” and this homely statement was a perfect, illustratiou of the great feet iHiat Mr. Johnson and his Cabinet seem determined not to learn,—the fact that the people have educated bv the past'War, m the theory of self-govern jnezw«.toa point whioh s must make our rulers, hereafter, in reality.as they have always professed to be, the servants of the people. Congress brings the power as near to ibe people as it can possibly be brought, THE BAIL' ani a contest with Congress such as .the: President la jaow waging is as hopeless as was that of the rebellion -itself; -Every pulse of this aation'throbs . through the' action of its representatives in Congress. It is the expressyoiee of the peopje, and through it, an iron hand, unseen and Bcarceily Mt In; ordinary timies, bet tightening ’like a vice when the need comes, is laid upon every other branch of the Government. . It ia- the bulwark against which the ambitious schemes of a despotic or corrupt Executive may rage and dash themselves in vain. The power of the President is enormous; A tremendous capability for misehief is re posed in his hands, but there is still a power behind: his throne, mightier than him; for the people have vested their sovereignty only in their representatives, and through them the President will always be compelled to hear and to obey the mandate “thus far shalt thou come and no farther.” ■ . Mr. Browning told a truth which he did not mean to proclaim, when he re minded the country that the power of the ; Government must be kept near, the peo ple. The people did not need Mr. Browning’s instructions on this point, for before hia letter was written they .had already recorded at the ballot-box their settled pufpose to keep their power near them and to exercise it to the utter most whenever the need for it arises. VJBGIMA LOTALTT. Henry A. Wise has never been considered as much of a Solomon* as his name suggests, and the older he grows the more nonsense lie seems to talk. He has just delivered himself of one of his characteristic speeches at Amelia Court House, iu the course of which he talks all the old treasonable stuff that formed his stock in trade i during the rebellion. He de nounced the idea of paying the Federal debt and repudiating the Confederate debt, “the most: sacred obligation ever given by a people.” He denied that their cause was lost and encouraged his audience to hope for its future success. With all that magniloquence that this hero of a hundred retreats revels inj he exclaims of “ole Virginny:” : “True.her bosom has been trampled upon by the raider and the invader. She is old Virginia still—proud in her history, and great in her resources. Yes (said the speaker), I feel it in mv heart; 1 believe' it; I have longht for it," and I will die fjr it, that Virginia is unconqnered still.” There is little hope of any speedy de velopment of real loyalty so long as the Southern people are fed on such balder dash as this,and relish it. in Vir ginia and Hampton in South Carolina are spokesmen for a large section of the Southern people, and while they 'are listened to and applauded as they now are, there is no use of talking about the South being ready for reconstruction. There is a step needed even before the adoption of the Constitutional Amend ment, and that is the hearty repudia- tion by the people of the false guide s who have led them on from one politi cal heresy to another, until they have plunged them into rebellion and left them ruined in fortune and-broken in power,as the natural result of their folly. That this crushed and desolated people should be found willing to listen again to the men who have brought all this great wrong and hurt upon them, is the strongest proof that they are not yet pre" pared eitherto govern themselves or to t ike part in governing us. ' Since the above was written we have received Mr. Wise’s-.later speech at Winchester, which, will he found in another column. It breathes all the same disloyalty that marks its prede cessors,and only gives additional weight to what we have already said of the speaker’s unfitness to lead the people of Virginia back into the Union, and the people’s unfitness to be restored to the privileges which they forfeited by their rebellion. PABDOXDSG COENTERFEITEKS. President Johnson has some unac countable partiality for the particular crime of counterfeiting. We have luded more thfifn once to the strange fre quency with the sentence of the law has been set aside in the case of Criminals convicted of this most dan gerous offence against society: , Another case is reported in thismorning’s,papers, where the President has tnrned loose a convict before he has served oat half of his term of imprisonment. It was Only a few days ago that another coun terfeiter, who had been t wice pardoned, was again cph'rieted of the same crime, in Illinois, and, fortunately for society, placed out of the way of further mischief under a State law, with which Mr. Johnson cannot interfere. ; Cannot some of the President’s confidential ad visers' explain to the public the cause of his extraordinary tenderness towards these depredators upon society? Few primes are so hurtful, and yet few meet with such leniency-, at the hands of the Executive. - : Death joe a Gallant Young Offioeb. i—We regret to announce the death of Lieu tenant Commander J. Crossan Chaplin, of yellow fever, at Barbadoes; W.I. He was, at the time of his. decease, executive officer of the steam sloop Monocaoy, attached to the' West India squadron. Hehad been attached to the navy sixteen yeans, and had Spent' three-fourths of that time in. active service at sea. He attained his commission in the surhmer of 1862, having acted withpecnliar gallantry ahont that- time during an en gagement on the Pofomao, between the vessel to whioh he was attached and a rebel battery on shore. He was a native of Pitts burgh. He leaves an enviable reputation for daring and energy, and his death will be greatly lamented by all who knew him. Public Sales ▼atoabie Beal Estate.
