We will not follow them further through their platform pyolutions at present, but will content ourselves with noticing the fact that, while 17 the lasttwo years tiDy have been wont to eulogise Andrew Johnson, now when.the hour-of hiS need and danger is upon him, they have not. a single word of cheer or ene,ouragement to give -MM._ But what else could he expect 7 The man Who allowed himself to be used as their pliant tool in the hour of his prosperity and power .to bestow patronage, roust be content to be desert ed by them hi -his adverSity and "weak ness.
