FOE THE DEMOCRAT.
History of the Great Conflict between
Democracy and .Abolitionism—End
ing in a War upon President . John
son.
In October 1865, the Secretary of the
Treasury pronounced a eulogy upon the
character of President jolmson, of which
the following is an extract. •
" Andrew Johnson posses.;es in an emi
nent degree, - the qualities that fit him for
the Presidency , at the present time. By
nature and by 'education, he is just the
man for the great work of re-establishing
the federal authority over the recently
rebellions-States. Stern and unyielding
in his adherence to principle and duty, be
is a man of kindly and gentle emotions.
Under his direction, the great work of re-
establishing civil government, at the south,
under the federal constitution, is going
rapidly forward ;—too rapidly, it seems,
according to the opinion of many in the
North. Some are of the opinion that none
of the States that - have passed ordinances
of secession, should ever be admitted
again 'lot° the Union,' unless. all men, ir
respective of color, should be permitted
to vote. Some desired the confiscation
of the property of all . rebels. These,
apprehend, are the views of a reaped a
hie minority. I know they are not the
views of a tinprity of the pet ple of the
North. The better opinion is that the
States which attempted to secede, never
ceased to be States in the Uhion. The
President has gone to work to restore the
Union by the use, according tb the neces
sity of the case, of a portion of those who
have been recently in arms to overthrow
it. Never were a people to completely
subjugated as the people of the South. -I
have met with a great many of those
whom the President is using in- his • res
toration policy, and they have impressed
me most favorab'y. I believe them to-be
honest in taking the amnesty oath, and in
their p!edges of fidelity to the onstitu-
tion and the Union- The question, all
admit, has-teen fairly and-definitely de
cil ed, and from this decision of the sword
there will be no appeal. In-the work of
restoration, the President has aimed to do
only that- which wars necessary to be done,
exercising only that, power which could
be properly exercised under the Consti
tution, which guarantees to every State a
republican farm of Government_ A radi
cal and uncompromising enemy of seces
sion, h is equally an enemy to any meas
ures which, in his judgment, are calcula
ted, by depriving the States of their just
tights under the Constitution, to convert
the federal government, into a despotism."
To the above eulogy, John W. Forney
made the following response:
"Washington Oct. 19th 1865.—1 n the
late spe •eli of Mr. McCulloch, Secretary
of the Treasury, he -spoke of President
Johnson's high personal integrity. There
was more in• this than the tribute of a
member of the Cabinet to a chief with
whom he is in hearty accord on great
questions. Andrew Johnson has always
been the advocate of economy in the pub
lic expenditures. His votes in Congress
were given with unbroken consistency on
the side of economy. . Ata time when the
nation is just escapmg from the excessive
outlay of money, unavoidable in• the pros
ecution of a gigantic • war, the value of
such a record, and of such habits, cannot
be over estimated. To reduce our Mighty
debt; to diminish our public expenses; to
increase the revenue without improving
burdens upon any class,—these are the
best, if not the only remedies for whatev
er mat Seem to be ominous of overwhelm
ing natural disasters, and should not be
lost sight of.. 'Andrew Johnson Las al
ways believed in the people, and in their
ability to govern themselves. And after
what they have endured and survived,
they may easily justify his confidence, and
fulfil the horoscope be has cast for them.
When Cmsar ruled, his people wac slaves.
The power which rules this land is in a
people who are themselves their only
Cmsars."
This was the treed of praise bestowed
upon President Johnson by Mr. Forney,
in October. In February following this
same eulogist of the President says, "nev
er have I known such an uprising. It is
not exhibited in bitter scorn at stupen
dous ingratitude, but horror at a betrayal
coming from a source
. in which such un
stinted confidence had been reposed."_
-Theliberties of American citizens de
pend upon the investigation of the princi
ples which divide Congress and the Pres
ident. line President Johnson betrayed
the people in whom Mr: Forney says be
has ever believed, whose welfare he has
ever sought to promote, or has Con gre sa
endeavored to betray the liberties of
America for the sake of holding the pow
er of the nation in -their hands ? Thomas
Jefferson will .answer- that question. He
says " One hundred and seventy - three
despots would surely be as . oppressive as
one. Let those,who doubt it, turn their
eyes on the *republic of Venice. Little
will it avail us that they . are cho
sen by ourselves. An elective despotism
was not the government we fought for,
but one which should not only be founded
on free principles, but in which the-pow
ers of government should be .tio divided
and balanced among several bodies of
magistracy, as that no one could trans
cend their legal limits, with - 454 being ef-
fectually checked ' and restrained by the
others. Mankind soon learn to make inter-
ested uses of every right and power which
they possess or may assume. With mon
ey we will get men, said Cmsar, and with
men we will get money. The time •to
guard against corruption and tyranny, is
before they shall have gotten hold of us.
It is better to keep the wolf out of the
fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth
and - talons after he.shall;have entered..
"In Dec. 1776, our circumstances be
ing much distressed, it was proposed in
the house of delegates to create a dicta
tor, invested with every power, civil and
military, of life and death over our per
a‘ms, and over our pgiperties; and in June
1781, again under caTa - mity, the same was
repeated, and wanted a few votes only of
being passed. One who entered into
Ibis contest. with Great Britain from a
pure 1 eve of liberty, and a sense of iejur
ed rights ; —who did not mean to expend
his blood and substance for the wretched
purpose of changing this master for that—
but to place the power of governing men
in a plurality of bands of his own choice,
so that the corrupt Will of so one man
might in future oppress him, must stand
confounded, and dismayed, when he is
told that a considerable portion of that
plot ality had meditated the surrender of
his rights into a single han', and in • lieu
ofa limited inonarchy, todeliver him over
to a despotic one. How must he find his
efforts and sacrifices abu'ed and baffled,
it he arty still, by a single vote be
,laid
prostrate at the feet of one man ?
"In God's name from whence have
they derived their power ? Is it from

duced. Is it front any principle in our

ship, and John Adams said :
"Such magistrates should not be deem
ed as vested with 'a sacred character, but
were public enemies, and ought to be re•
sisted."
Jefferson said, " those who advocated a.
dictatorship had been seduced in their
judgment by the, example.of, an 'ancient
republic, whose constitution. ,and. cireum-,
stances were fundaMentally different from
ours. They had sought this , precedent in
the history of Rime, where alone it was
to be found; and where at length it prov
ed fatal. Their constitution allowed a
temporary tyranny to be erected over a
ferocious people, rendered desperate by
poverty , and wretchedness, under the
nape of dictator, and that temporary ty
rant, after a few examples, became per
petual. What clause in our Constitution
has submitted the constitution of Rome,
by way of residuary provision for all ca
ses not otherwise provided for? For if
they may step into any other form of gov
ernment.for precedents to rule us by, for
what oppression may not a precedent be
found ?'
The Republicans.admit that they look
ed to Rome for their precedent. "They
vested more power in the hands of their
President than was ever vested in the
bands of any one man since the -days of
Rome." •
What man in the days of Jefferson,
oven - after independence was achieved,ev
er turned his eyes toward Rome fora mod
el of government for America? His biog
rapher, Mr. Randall says :
"There is no.doubt that Jefferson dread
ed Hamilton's ambition, and his . designs.
fie frequently spoke of the chill that came
over him on hearing him praise the char
acter of Julius Ciesar, and pronounce him
the greatest man that ever lived. Jeffer
son believed Hamilton nourished danger
ous designs, and that he contemplated, in
some' crisis,' resorting to the sword toes
tablish a monarchy."
Jefferson says, "Alexander Hamilton
was for a hereditary King and House of
Lords and Commons, corrupted to his
will, and standing between him and the
most in the midst of another rebellion by
the traitors of the North."
Here is the reason of the war -upon the
President. He knocked the Roman em
pire. to
_pieces by declining to be a Nero

miscegenation in Vermont.
Some time since there was a family in
Sandgate, Vermont, with a , sable black
man as husband, from 40 to 55 years old,
and a white woman some ,ten or fifteen
years younger as wife, with four children,
three of whom were white, and the fourth
a mulatto, the issue of this white and
black married couple. The woman had
been the wife of a. white soldier who was
killed in battle, and the three children
were the offspring of this marriage. The
woman was in bad health and in the first
stage of consumption.. The family be
came s town charge, and. had to be sup
ported at the expense of the people of
Sandgate: The cuteSandgatians conclu
ded, however, not long to bear the load
of their support, and they accordingly
forwarded this black and white family 10
Chicago, where, having no means of sup
porting themselves they became a public
charge on the poor fund of that city: The
Chicago authorities enquired into the
facts about this family, and learning the
nature of the present sent them by the
Sandgate officials, they immediately star
ted the family back.to the place from
whence they came, paying their railroad
fare thence. This family arrived in Troy

was granted, and they were guests at the

has the consumption. This whole affair
is little creditable to the humanitarians of
Sandgate, who seem to prefer sending
their contributions to the freedmen of the
