The President of the United States has no
singular a combination of defects for the
office of a constitutional magistrate, that he
cnnuld have obtained the opportunity to mis
s tile the nation only by a visitation of
Providence. Insincere as well as stubborn,
cunniing i s Nv,ll as unreasonable, vain as well
as ill-tempered, greenly of popularity as well
ins arbitrary in disposition, veering in his
mind as well as fixed in his will, he unites
in his character the seemingly opposit equali
ties of demagogue and autocrat, and con
verts the Presidential chair into a stump or
a throne, according as the impulse seizes
him to cajole or to command. Doubtless
le e c h of the evil developed in him is duo to
hie misfortune in having been lifted by
events to a position which ho lacked the
elevation and breadth of intelligence ade
quately to fill. Ile was cursed with the
possession of a rower and authority which
no min of narrow mind, bitter Inrejudices,
and inl/rdinate self-estimation can exercise
without depraving himself as well as injur
ing the nation. Egotistic to the point of
mental disease, he resented the direct and
manly opposition of statesmen to his opin
ions and moods Rs a personal affront, and
descended to the last degree of littleness in
a political leader—that of betraying his
party, it: order to gratify his spite. He of
course became the prey of intriguers and
sycophants; or persons who understand the
art of wanaging•nilnds which arc at once
arbitrary and weak, by allowing them to
retain unity of will amid the most palpable
inconsistencies of opinion, so that incon
stancy to principle shall not weaken force
of purpose, nor the emphasis be at all
abated with which they may bless to-day
what yesterday they cursed. Thus the ab-
Lorre'. of traitors has now become their tool.
Thus the denouncer of Copperheads has now
sunk in dependent() on their support. Thus

THE JOHNSON PARTY
(Ft,in the Atlantic Nionthly tor September
has now become the foremost friend of the
unconditioned return of the rebel States.
Thus the furious Union Rebut)Bean, whose
harangues against his political opponents
almost scared his political friends by their
violence, has now become the shameless be
trayer of the people who trusted him. And
in all these changes of base he has appeared
supremely conscious, in his own mind, of
playing an independent, a consistent and
especially a conscientious part.
Indeed. Mr. Johnson's character would be
imperfectly described if some attention were
not paid to his conscience, the purity of
which is a favorite subject of his own dis
course, and the perversity of which is the
wonder of the rest of mankind. As a
public man, his real 'position is similar to
that of a commander of an army, who
would puss over to the ranks of the enemy
he was commissioned to fight, and then
plead his individual convictions of duty at
a justification of his treachery. In truth,
Mr. Johnson's conscience is, like his
understanding, a mere form of expression of
his will. 'The will of ordinary mon is ad
dressed through their understanding and
conscience. Mr. Johnson's understanding
and conscience can be addressed only through
his will. He puts inteltecal principles
and the moral law in the possessive case,
thinks he pays them a compliment \ and adds
to their authority when ho makes them the
adjuncts of his petted pronoun "my ;" and
things to him are reasonable and right, not
from any quality inherent in themselves,
but because they are made so by his deter
minations. Indeed, he sees hardly anything
as it is, but almost everything as colored by
his own dominant egotism. Thus ho 'is
never weary of asserting that the people are
on his side; yet this method of learning the
wishes of the people is to scrutinize his own,
and, whon acting out his own passionate
impulses, ho over insists that ho is obeying
public sentiment. \Of all the wilful men
who, by strange chance. have found them-
selves at the head of a constitutional govern e
Tent, he most resembles the last Stuart king
of England, James 11. ; and the likeness is
increased from the circumstance that the
American James has, in his supple, and
plausible Secretary of State, one fully corn
potont;to play the part of Sunderland.'
- • The pasty which, under the ironical &sig
.., .
nation of the National Union Party„ now
proposes to take the policy and character of •
Mr. Johnson under'its charge, is composed'
chiefly, of Democrats defeated at' the' polls,,
and Democrats defeated on the field of hattle.
Tho low npostato• liropuhlicans, ,havo
joined iia mike while eeeinin to lead its
• .
Carlisle, Pa., Friday, September 14, 1866
organization, are •of small account. Its
great strength is in its Southern supporters,
and, if it comes into power, it must obey
a rebel direction. By the treachery% of the
President, it will have the Executive pat
ronage on its side, for 31t. Johnson's " con
science" is of that peculiar kind which finds
satisfaction in arraying the interest of others
against their convictions ; and having thus
the-power to purchase support; it will not
fail of those means of dividing the North
which col% from corrupting it. Tho party
under which the war of the Union was con
ducted is to be denounced and proscribed as
tho party.of disunion, and wo aro to be edi
fied by addresses on the indissoluble unity
of the nation by secessionists, who have
hardly yet had time to wash from their
blinds tho, F A t i.ip,ilor tTnion blood. The lead
ing proposition on which this conspiracy
against the country is to be conducted is the
monstrous absurdity that the Rebel States
have an - inherent, "continuous," uncondi-
tioned, constitutional light to form a part
of the Federal Government, when they
have once acknowledged the fact of the de
feat of their inhabitants in an armed at
tempt to•pyerthrow and subvert it—a pro
position which implies that victory para
lyzes the powers of the victors; that ruin
begit.'s when auccess is assured; that the only
effect of beating a Southern rebel in the
fickld is to exalt him into a maker of laws for
his antagonist
In'the minority report of the Congress
ional Joint Committee on Reconstruction,
i
which s designed to supply the new party
with constitutional law, this theory of State
right's is most elaborately presented. The
ground is taken, that during the rebellion
the States in, which it prevailed were as
"Completely competent States of the United
States as they were before the rebellion, and
were bound by all the obligations which the
Constitution imposed, and entitled to alt
privileges ;" and that the rebellion consist
ed merely in a series of " illegal acts of the
citizens of such States. - On this theory it
is difficult to find where the guilt 01 rebel
lion lies. The States are innocent because
the rebellion was a rising of individuals;
the individuals cannot be very criminal, for
it is ~n their votes that the committee
chiefly rely to build up the Union
Party. Again, we are informed that, in
respect to the admission of representatives
froin "such States," Congress has no right
or power to ask nv re than two questions.
These are: " Have these States organized
governments? Are these governments re
publican in form ?" The committee proceed
to say : Row they were formed, under •
what auspices they were formed, are inquir
ies with which Congress has no concern.
The right of the people to form a govern
ment for themselves has never been ques
tioned." On this principle, President John
son's labors in organizing State governments
were works of supererogation. At the close
of active hostilities the Rebel States had
organized, though disloyal, governments as
republican in form as they were before the
war broke out. The only thing, therefore,
they wore required to do was to send their
Senators and Representatives to Washington.
Congress could not have rightfully refused
to receive them, because all questions as to
their being loyal or disloyal, and as to the
changes which the war had wrought in the
relations of the States they represented to
the Union, were inquires with which Con
gress had n 6 concern I And here again we
have the over-recurring difficulty respecting
the " individuals" who were alone guilty of
the acts of rebellion. " The right of the
people," we are assured, " to form a govern
ment for themselves has never been question
ed." But it happens that " the people" here in
dicated are tly,9 very individuals who were be
' fore pointed out as alone responsible for the
rebellion. In the exercise of their right
"to form a government for themselves,"
they rebelled ; and now, it seems, by the
exercise of the same right, they can uncon
ditionally return. There is no wrong any
where ; it is all " right." The people are
first made criminals, in order to exculpate
the States, and then the innocence of the
States is used to exculpate the people. When
we see such outrages on common sense
gravely perpetrated by so eminent n law
yer as the one who drew up the committee's
report, ono is almost inclined to define minds
as of two kinds, the legal mind and the
human mind, apd to doubt if there is any
possible connection in reason between the
two. To the human mind it appears that
the Federal Government has spent thirty
five hundred millions of dollars, and sacri-
flood thrde hundred thousand lives, in a
contest which the legal mind dissolves into
a more mist of unsubstantial phraies ; and
by skill in the trick of substituting words
for things, and definitions for events, the
legal mind proceeds to show that these
words and definitions, though scrupulously
shielded front nny contact witivrealitied, are
sufficient to prevent-the nation from taking
ordinary precaution against the recurrence
of calamities fresh in its bitter experience.
The phrase "State Rights," translated from
legal into human language, is found to
mean tho power to commit wrongs on indi
viduals whom States may desire to oppress,
or The power to protect the inhabitants of
States from the consequences of their own
crimes. The minor,ity of the committee,
indeed, seem to have forgotten that there
has boon-any/real war, and bring to mind the
converted Australian savage 'whom the
missionary could not make penitent for, a
murder committed the day before, because
the trifling occurrence had altogether passed
from' his racollection.
In fact, all attempts to discriininate be
tween rebels and rebel States, to tho advan
tage of the , latter, aro done in defiance of
notorious facts. If the rebellion had merely
a rising of individual citizens of States, it
would have been, an insurrection against the
States, as well as against the Federal gov
ernment, and might, have been easily put
down. In that case, there would have been
no withdrawal of Southern Senators and
Representatives from Congress, and there:
,
fore no questions as to their inherent right to
return. , In Missoliri and Roanelcy, for
exaMple,, there was civil war, waged by in. : .
habitants of those States against the United'
States L . andliobod3r contends that the Tights
privileges , of those. States Were forfeited
by tho orliainal s actis Of their citizens. But.
the real strength of the rebellion' consisted'
in thisi that it waO not a rebollicin a,gainst
States, but a, rebellion by States. No loose
assemblage of individiials, though number
ing hundreds of thousands, could long have
resisted the pressure of the Federal power
and the power of the State governments.
They would have had no Means of subsis
tence except those deiived by plunder and
voluntary contributions, and they would
have lacked, the military organization by
which mobs are transformed into formida
ble armies. But the rebellion being ono of
States—being virtually decreed by the people
of States assembled in convention, was sus
tained by the two tremendous governmental
powers of taxation and conscription. Tho
willing and the unwilling were thus equally
placed at the disposition of a strong govern
ment. The population and wealth of the
whole inimense region of country in which
the rebellion prevailed were at the service
of this government. So completely was it
a rebellion of States, that the universal ex
(also of the minority of original Union men
for entering heartily into the contest after
it had once begun was, that they thought it
their duty to abide by the decision and
share the fortunes of their respective Slates.
Nobaly at the South believed at the time
the war commenced, or during its progress,
that his State possessed any "continuous"
right to a participation in tith privileges of
the Federal Constitution,. the obligations of
which it had repudiated When confident
of success, the Southerner scornfully scout
ed the mere suspicion of entertaining such
a degrading notion ; when assured of defeat,
his only thought was to " get his State back
into the Union on the best terms that could
he made." The idea of " conditions of re
admission" was as firmly fixed in the South
ern as in this Northern mind. If the poli
ticians of the South now adopt the principle
that the rebel States have not, as States,
ever altered their relations to the Union,
they do it from policy, finding that its adop
tion will give them " better terms" than they
over dreamed of getting beto“, the Provi
dent of the United States taught them that
it would be more politic to bully than to
plead.
In the last analysis, indeed, the theory
of the minority of the Reconstruction Com
mittee reduces the rebel States to mere ab
stractions. It is plain that a State, in the
concrete, is constituted by that portion of
the inhabitants who form its legal people;
and that, in passing back of its government
and constitution, we reach a convention of
the legal people as its ultimate expression.
By such conventions the acts of secession
were passed ; and, as far as the people of the
rebel States could do it, they destroyed their
States considered as organized communities
forming a part of the United States. The
claim of the United States to authority over
the territory and inhabitants was, of course,
not affected by these acts ; but in what con
dition did they place the people ? Plainly
in tho eeridic tnigub,.l
attempt to overthrow the Constitution and
Government of the United States. As the
whole force of the people in each of the
rebel communities was engaged in this work,
the wholm.of the people were rebels and
public enemies. Nothing was left, in each
case, but an abstract State, without any ex
ternal body, and as destitute of people hav
ing a right to enjoy the privileges of the
Constitution as if the territory had been
swept clean of population by a pestilence.
it is, then, only this abstract State which
has a right to representation in Congress.
But how can there be a right to representh
tion when there is nobody to be represented T.
All this may appear puerile, but the pueril
ty is in the premises as well as in the logical
deductions ; and the premises are laid down
as indisputable constitutional principles by
the eminent jurists who supply ideas for the
National Union party.
The doctrine of the unconditional right
the rebel States to representation being thus
a demoestrated absurdity, the only question
relates to `the conditions which Congress
proposes to impose. Certainly these condi
tions, as embodied in the constitutional
amendment which., has passed both Houses
by such overwhelming majorities, are the
mildest over exacted of demoted enemies by
a victorious nation. Thera is not a distinct
ly "radical" idea in the whole amendment,
nothing that President Johnson has not him
self, within a comparatively recent period
stamped with his high approbation. Does
it ordain universal suffrage I No. Does it
ordain impartial suffrage? No. Does it
proscribe, disfranchise or expatriate the re
cent armed enemies of the country, or con
fiscate their property? No. It simply
ordains that the national debt shall be paid
and the rebel debt repudiated ; that the civil
rights of all persons shall be maintained ;
that rebels who have added perjury to trea
son shall be disqualified for office; grid that'
the rebel States shall not have their political
povior in the Union increased by the pres
ence on their soil of persons to whom they
deny political rights, but that representation
shall be based throughout the Republic on
voters, and not on population. The pith
of the whole amendment is in the last
clause ; and is there anything in that to
which reasonable objection can be made ?
Would it not be a curious result of the war
against rebellion, that it should end in con
ferring on a rebel voter in South Carolina
a power equal, in national affairs, to that
of two loydt---..voters in, Now York? Can
any Democrat have the face to' assort that
the South should hav, through its disfran
chised negro freemen alone, a power in the
College and in the national House
of representatives equal tothat of% the States
of Ohio and Indiana combined?
Yet these conditions, so conciliatory,Mod-
Orate, lenient, almost timid, and which„ by
the omission Of impartial suffrage, fall very
*far below the requirements of the
.average
sentiment of tho' loSral . nation, are still do
nouncodl by the now partyof '" ilpion" as
the work of furious Radicals, bont on de
stroying the rights of thO States. Thus
governor James L. Orr, of South Carolina,
a leading.febel, pardoned into a Johnsonian
Union man, implores the people of that re
gion to send delegates to the . Philadelphia
.Contention, on the ground that' purpose
is .t6_ organiie " conservative I.'
. 111011' of Al
sections and parties, ~ t O drive from power
that Radical part3r who aro daily trampling,
under foot tho Constitution, and fast cOnvort
,ing aconstitutional Republic intO a con.seli
dated :despotism." The terms, to which
,gloUth Carolina la'askod to submit, before she
TtRIS:--$2,00 in Advance, or $2,50 within the year
can be made the equal of Ohio or Now York
in the Union, are stated to be " too degrad
ing and humiliating to be entertained by a
freeman for a single instant." When we
consider that this " Radical party" consti
totes nearly four-Ilfths of the legal Legisla
ture of the nation, that it was the party
which saved the country from dismember
ment while Mr. Orr and his friends were
notoriously engaged in " trampling the Con
stitution under foot," and that the man who
denounces it owes his forfeited life to its
cleme'ilcY, the astounding insolence of-. the
impeachment touches the sublime.. Here is
confdssed treason inveighing against tried
loyalty, in the name of the Constitution it
has violated and the law it has broken ! But
why does Mr. Orr think the terms of South
Carolina's restored relations to the Union
" too degrading and humiliating to ho en
tertained by a freeman for a single instant ?"
Is it because he wishes to have the rebel
debt paid? Is it because he desires to 'have
the Federal debt repudiated? Is it because
he'thinks it intolerable that a negro should
have civil rights? Is it because he resents
the idea that breakers of oaths, like himself,
should be disqualified from having finother
opportunity of forswearing themselves? Is
it because he considers that a white free
man of South Carolina has a natural righ t
to exercise double the political power of a
white loyal freeman of Massachusetts? He
must return an affirmative answer to all
these questions in order to make it out that
his State will be degraded and humiliated
by ratifying the amendment ; and the ne
cessity of the measure is therefore proved by
the motives known to prompt the attacks of
its vilifiers.
The insolence of Mr. Orr is not merely
individual, but representative. It is the
result of Mr Johnson's allempt •'to produce
harmony between the two sections," by be
traying the section to which he owed his
election. Had it not been for his treachery,
there would have been little difficulty in
setting the terms of peace, so as to avoid
all causes for future war; but, from the
time he quarrelled with Congress, he has
been the great stirrer-up of disaffection at
the South, and the virtual leader of the
Southern reactionary party. Every Inn nt
the South who was prominent in the rebel
lion, every man in the North who was prom
inent in aiding the rebellion is now openly
or covertly his partisan, and by fawning on
him earns the right to detente the represen
tatives,ot the people by whom the rebellion
was put down. Among traitors and Cop
perheads the fear of punishment hits been
succeeded by the hope of revenge ; elation
is on faces which the downfall of Richtnona
overcast; r and a return to the old times,
when a iia i ited South ruled the country by
means of a divided North, is confidently ex
pected by the whole crew of political bul
lies and political sycophants whose profit is
in the amusement of the nation. It is even
said that, if the majority of the "Rump" Con
gress cnanot be overcome by fair means it
will be b- foul ; and there are noisy parti
sans of the President who assert chat he
bas in him a Cromwellian capacity for deal
ing with legislative assemblies whose no
tions of the public good clash with his own.
In short, we are promised, on the assembling
of the nest Congress, a roup
Garret Davin, of Kentucky, was, we be
lieve, the first to anuounce the executive
remedy for the "radical" disease of the State,
and it has since been often prescribed by
Democratic politicians as a sovereign, pana
cea. General NlcClernand, indeed, proposed
a scheme, simpler even than that of Execu
tive recognition, by which the Southern
Senators and Representatives might e fleet
a lodgment in Congress. They should, ac
cording to him, have gone to Washington,
entered the halls of legislation, and proceed
ed to occupy their seats, "peaceably if they
could, forcibly if they must;" but the record
of General McCiernard, as a military man,
wits not such as to give to his advice on
question of carrying positions by assault a
high degre- of authority, and there being
some natural hesitation in following his
counsel, the golden opportunity was lost.
Mi.. Montgomery Mir, who professes his
willingness to act with any men, "rebels, or
any one else," to put down the Radicals,
is never weary of talking to conservative
conventions of "two Presidents and two
Congresses." There can be no doubt that
the project of a coup d'etat has become dan
gerously familiar to the "conservative"
mind, and that the eminent legal gentlemen
of the North who are publishing opinions
affirming the right of the excluded South
ern representatives to their seats, are play
ing into the hands of the desperate gang of
unscrupulous politicians who are determined
to have the right established by force. It
Is computed that the gain, in the approach
ing elections, of twenty-five districts 'now
represented by Union Republicans, will give
the Johnson party, in the next Congress,
a majority of the House of Representatives,
should the Southern delegations be counted;
and it is proposed that the Johnson members
•legally entitled to seats should combine
with the Southern pretenders to seats, or
ganize as the House of Representatives of
tha United Suttee, and apply to the Presi
dent for recognttion. Should the President
comply, he mould be impeached by an un
recognized House before an "incomplete"
Senate, and if convicted, would deny the
'validity of the proceeding. The result
would be civil war,' in which the name of
111W , Vetieral Government would be on the
•sitie of the revolutionists. Such is the Pro
gramme whichis freely discussed by par:
tiaras of the President, considered J.b be
high, in hie favor; and the scheme, it is con
tended, is the logical result of the position
ho has assumed as to the rights of the, ex•
eluded States to representation. It is con.
tam that tho present Congress is its muck the
Congrede of the United States no he is :the
Prisident of the United States; but it
well known' that he considers himself to
represent the'whale country, while lie thinks
that Congress only, represents a portion it;
and he has in'his character just that cone
bination, of qualities, and is placed in jost
those anOmaloutt circumstances, which lead
Men .to the • 'commission of ; great political
crimes. The mere hint oflposothility of , his
attemptinge..coup tfetaf ie recoil/9d by atone
Republicans with a look, incredulous sur
pr.i4e;,
_yet has his administtation
been ,to , sµph persons but snooosSion.of
surprises
But whatever view may be taken of the
President's designe, there can be no doubt
that the safety, peace, interests and honor
of the country depend on the success of the
Union Republicans in the approaching °lee-
tions. The loyal nation must see to it that
the Fortieth Congress shall be as compe
tent to override Executive vetoes ait the
Thirty-ninth, and be equally removed from
the peril of being expelled for one more in
harmony with Executive ideas. The same
earnestness, energy, patriotism and intelli
gence which gave success to the war, must
now be exerted to reap its fruits and pre
vents,its recurrence. The only danger is
that in some representative districts the peo
ple may be swindled by plausibilities and
respectabilitiba; for when, in political con
tests, any villainy is contemphted, there
are Id r‘;ilyel found some eminently respecta
ble men, with a fixed capital of certain
eminently conservative phrases, innocently
rowdy Lo fu gals Ii Lilo wolves of pun Lica With

Those dignified dupes are more than usually
active at the pros.ent time; and the gravity
of •their speech is as edifying 115 its empti-
ness. immersed iu words, and with no
clear perception of thing,s they mistake Con
spiracy for conservatism. Their pet hor

lute will, embittered temper and unscru
pulous purpose, who clearly know what
they are after, and will hesitate at no Ha--

and for the first time iu our history, appeated front the

four long 1110011 y years to the wicked attempt to over
throw and utterly destroy the Coy. rumen! banded
dOWII by our fathers. This they did under the pr. trot
that a State had a constitutional right to secede front
the Union. The same thing had 1101.11 ILtt.-mpte,l by
South Csrolina in 1833; hut, under the vigorous ad
ministration of President Jackson, the effort signally
failed, and the doctrine on which it was luwrd was re
pudiated. But in 1850, when the Democratic party at
Cincinnati nominated James Buchanan fur President,
they revived Ito old State rights dogma of secession by
readopting the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of
MS and 1799, as a part of their p atform. And at the
Clitudeston Convention, in Mid, although the party
there split lido two parts, the one nominating Boughs,
and the other Breckenridge fir President; both factions
readopted these HlOllO resulnt lUDS. These resolutions do

Justifying or excusing the rebellion, denouncing every
means used to suppress It; predicting the war a 'allure,
and endeavoring to make good their predictions, and
boldly denying there was any power in the lioverunient

quired a reputation fur connivance at treason and dis
loyalty to the country, which justly consigned it to con
