    An Sour with President Johnson.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31,1365.
I was ofjthose, in a hum p° way;'who
fashioned Andrew Johnson into alrice
President at Baltimore—ijaving , publiely
supported his nominption before the
greeting of l the Convention arid voted for
him in that body'. have sweet then'had
occasion to complain of toy own work,
and have never fter the inauguration,
been free from grave apprehension as to
the wisdom of that choice. Differing with
Most men who besiege thg Executive de
partment in/this very important particu
lar, that the administration has no hon.
ore I aspire to, I may.differ with most of
them alsecalike in the frankness with
whichT conassl, when invited to do, so
and lu theiconvietions which result from
. contact with rulers.
I found Myself here on Friday for the
/ first time Since February last, and during
the aftermion of the same day, called at
tho W bite; House to see President John
con. I feiind the halls, the ante-cham
,ber and all other available spaces around
the Execu i tive room, crowded With a mot
ley make of men, Witt -an anxious female
face here and there giving variety to the
reene—,:all waiting,' and some from day to
day, to_gain an interview with the Pres
ident and plead for restoration to citizen
ithip and property. Suon the door open
ed and a genteel lady emerged from the
Presidenee room with a lar_ge o ffi cial en
velope chitched nervously 'in her hand,
''and a benignity of countenance , that told
more plainly than words that another cit
izen had been born again to thg B.epablie.
Soon afte4 another r and then another
came with like trophies of success, and
ati each one passed out the mass would'
sway - toward the door to catch' the name
'of the next one called. In a little time I
gained admission and bad my first inter
view with - Andrew Johnson as President.
There are few men who could make a
more favorable impression upon a stran
ger on first acquaibtance, than the Presi
dent. Ile differs from Mr. Lincoln in
most external characteristics, and in many
contrasts [favorahlY. lie lacks Mr. Lie
coin's jolly ',bun*: improves upon his
ungaitily, , [ ways ; is' aitly more diplomatic,
and wears a unift.ra and quiet dignity
'that would have been shockingly out of
place ini his lamented predecessor, but
which well becomes the Chief Executive
of a great, Nation. Ile is about-five feet
ten in tieight, rather stoutly and sym
metrically built, has long hair well sil
vered bl the frosts of time, rather a cold
grey eye that looks as if in its , calmest
glances there slumbers bellied it quite
enough to quicken it; a finely chiseled
Roman face, usually . sad in expression,
at timeslrelieved by a genial smile, and
in manner and dress aercn:ly plain and
nuaffeeted. Such is, in kr.ef, a portrait'
of Andrew Johnson, but two years ago
the despised, the reviled of traitors; the
man upon whose head fell their fiercest
denunciations and against whom were
hurled their keenest and!deadlieSt shafts,
and now the President of the United
States with the foes at his feet supplicat
ing his pardon, and charged with the
highest duties and responsibilitieS ever
imposed on mortal mau.
He i?aeets , the visitor cordially, - and
Speaks iin the, softest tone and in well
measured sentences. There was little
formality—the usual greetingsand thence
' we passed to questions of graver moment.
However reticent he may be on some is
sues, he seems 'to have no reserve as to
lb& policy be conceives to be the true one
to bring back the insurgent States. He
discussed the position of those States and
their people with great inteseat and occa
sional warmth, and with a frankness that
left no ;doubt as to his purpose. He holds
_that thiey were never oat of the Union;
that secession, however accomplished .as
a fact, cannot be accomplished in law;
that the supreme authority of the govern
ment in those .States was not overthrown
by rebellion, but simply in abeyance, and
of tours° it logically fellows his premises
that, since rebellion . has ceased,the States
sesame their proper place in the Union
and reStoration is accomplished. This,in
brief, was the stand point from which the
;Preeident discussed the question of recon
struction for more than an hour, and an,
sweredsuggestive objections at times with
an earnestness that demonstrated bow ar
dentlylhe is working to give success to his
:poliey.t I could not but remind him that
his theory stripped all traitors of the pro
teetion they nrght claim as public ene
mies ;ithat it would stamp-as guilty of
treasonwithin the law, every man who
aided the rebellion, and of necessity de
mand at his hulls commensurate punish
ment for what ho must hold as unmitiga
ted crime! --as appalling murder and des
olation for which there is no extenuation
'to be Plead. "You have," I added, "given,
us om every band the Nation's monu
mental of Mercy—where will be its mon-
Ofjustice ? Davis' is aproclaimed
'assassin, as well as traitor—his agents
bare died, Low are the principals to atone
to a pciople doubly bereaved in their homes
and in their chief sanctuary of power 7"
To this thernsident answered with much
animation that •the measure of, and the
time . kr, latcnemont were yet for the fu
tnre to ditermine. I shall not soon for
get the emphasis with Which he declared
that the South must come back and be a
part of tit, and "it must comer he added,
"with '
manhood—l don't want it
to coicie. eviscerated of its manhood 1"
To this proposition abstraetly there could
be ran objection made. We - want the
South with all its manhood, whicla would
conceive to be the Southern people with
their i.caeoix abandoned' and their crimes
tenithednot punished . revengefully;
not iniireitatiOn of the Guillotine of France
or the Inquisition of Spain; but by wak
ing the leaders who conspired td over
throw the government, strangers to its
honors and its citizenship and that; thro'
life the monuments of the power, the jus
tienand the !magnanimity of the mighti
est nation of the earth. The President
said that such may be , the meastire of
punishmeur; that he had pardoned but
sew who would come Under such m rule;
that there are exceptions to all rules, and
there were both civil functionaries and
army officers who might be pardoned
with propriety. He said that he lied not
yet gone as far in his amnesty, iCither
general or , special,. as Mr. Lincoln pro
posed. He explained what ishnOtigener
ally known, that his pardons are mainly
of businesS men, many of whom were
Union men, who must ) have pardons to
enable them !tn sell ior mortgage their
lands, or to get credit in' their business
operaiions find I added that -he had not
yet 'reached the consideration of such
cases as Lee, Stephens Looffstreet Bean=
i
regard and others of that class.
He spoke freely of the proposeditrial of
Davis, anal said that as yet the govern
ment had not taken any steps.in the mat
ter. If he is to' be tried in Richmond,
the trial must necessarily be poitponed
until the civil authority is fully restored,
and then it will be a question for Iconsid
eration under the, condition of; affairs
which may at that time exist. As'Vir
ginia is still practically under martial law,
certainly wholly under militia)? irate, I
judge that many moons may wax and
wane before we can have a great State
trial. Ido not question the wisdom of
this delay, for it is certainly better for the
government to avoid the danger of defeat
in attempting to convict of conservative
treason• in Washington, than to' force a
trial which mighelafford a technical
escape for Davis and leave the great
questions undetermino. if I were going
to gueis on the stibject, I would say that
Davis is more likely to be paroled during
the next year than to be tried, and if he
is ever hanged, he most do it hitiself.
The President is clearly adverse to con
fiscation and that giestion is practically
settled. Whatever might be the views
of Congresti, confiscation is not possible
with an Executive ; determinedly hostile
to it and with the p#douiag power in his
hands. I infer, however. that lon this
point Congress will oharmonize with the
ExeCutive, as a nutnher of even the 41(1 7
ical leaders, such as 9reely and Suninery
openly oppose it. If our credit can be
sustained otherwise I - am content. Five
years hence we shalt all be wiser on that
pointy than now. •
I believe that tbe!President will wield
all his power to effect the admission of
the representatives of the rebellious States
into Congress (1010 the next session.
The Senate being o 3 ,g,anized the question
cannct come up there until it is brought
up in order; but there will be a strong
pressure to force the edmission of the
Southern metobersby placing their names
on the roll when the House meets. This
Mr. Illehers.on will not do and on all
votes of instructions he will call only
those who are returned from States clear
ly entitled to representation. The law
forbids him to do otherwise, and he will
be faithful to it.l The question of their
admission will then a g itate the House,
and I fear make a sad b reach between the
President and Congress. The South is
encouraged by the petition of the admin
istration to be importunate in its demand
for admission, and! it is not improbable
that it will in the !end be admitted. , 1 1
have seldornseen Congress struggle against
power and hold out; to the end. The his
tory of such conflicts is always dotted
with frail ones whO fall by the way. • I
have ever felt th 4 the revolted States
should take no part in the government
they vainly soughtito destroy until all is
sues arising from the war, and all its logi
cal results, shouldpbe settled by, faihful
men. To the - victors, not to the van
quished—tol the tripods, not to the foes of
the government dbeS this dUty belong,
and if it shall be terwise, there are ma
ny who willitremb e for the sefety of the
Republic.
On the future ofithe freedmen the Pres
ident talks well. He displays more sense
than sentiment on the question,and means
to solve the,probleM fairly as demanded
by civilization and humanity. Of their ,
ability'6 win a potion that will enable
them to be incorporated into our system
of government as eitiigns, be is clot emi
neatly hopeful, but:feels that it must be
fairly tried with an open field for the ne
gro. That failing,!'he , looks upon colon
ization as the only' 'alternative. '
It would be foolilh to disguise the fact
that the President,hoth by word and deed,
disclaims the position of a partizan Exec
utive, and that he is not insensible to the
flattering approvallOf his administration
by the Democraticiparty. Ido not mean
by this that he is insympathy and fellow
ship with them '; but I do mean that be is
not wholly in syn3ptithy against'them; and
he will,' feel wtirranted in saying, adhere
to the; nolitical fortunes of the Southern
Statea ^ without regard to political conse
quences. This May or may not sevethim
from the party that sustained and cherish
ed him in the darkest days through which
hnpassed, and that won him the highest
home of the Nation through a flood of
obloquy; but ifit does, I infer that heel, will
accept the situation. He evidently means
above all other things, to compass the ad
mission or the Southern members and the
complete restoratibti to, power of those
States, andlif Nass4ollusetts and South
Carolina can strike bands over the Same
administration, then will we have a faith
ful President and a haraiontous country.
If not—l leave the future to tell tbestory.
Where in 01 this red aeon to be maids

Repository.
The President's Plan.
We have seen the Copperhead Democ
racy, for the past few months passing "re
solutions, making speeches and writing
editorials, all in high praise of 'President
Johnson and his plen:of reconstruction.
These laudatory tributes may have caused
some slight misgivings at times, lest he
might falter and- possibly mistake his
duty. But theses ardent and sincere
friends seem to h'ave orerdone the thing.
Seizitg upon his readiness to pardon , re
pentant rebels,, and his refusal, to make
ElegrOuffrage a condition of re-admission,
indicative of his' l sympathy with their
views, they thereupon concieved the hope
of tempting him to forget the devoted
loyalty which has lied lustre upon his
;
name during the gr at rebellion, and join
at this last day, 'the 1, ranks of those who
stiuck hands with traitors and denounced
the war as a failure.; To that end they
resolved and speechifiedin his praise,
and sent Dean Richniond to manipulate
and circumvent andl magnetize the man
who controles the sword and the purse—
especially the purse' —and capture him
and bring him bodily into the Democratic
camp. The plan of the President for
pacification, conciliation and reconstruc
tionovas most especially excellent. Thus
they committed themselves.
Well, the plan so far as developed ap
pears to be about right. .Tt will satisfy
, all sensible people, and if the Democracy
I also are satisfied, we congratulate them
and the rest of mankind upon their con-
version
The Southern States, in order to be
reconstructed according to the President's
"plan," must
1. Declare their:ordinances of secesion
null and void.
2. Repudiate all debts contracted in
behalf of the rebellion.
3. Pass laws for the protection of the
•
colored man's rights as a freeman. And,
4. Ratifyithe Amendments to the Con
stitution abolishing and forever prohibi
ting slavery. •
Here is a platform sufficiency sound
apd loyal. Congress can. scarcely
im
prove it, and rather. than "stay out in
the cold" the lately insurgent States will
readily adopt it.
We trust the Democrats are as well
pleased with it, now they know what it
is, as they were before,and that by speech
and pen and vote they will give it their
hearty support.—Lanenster Examiner.
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED. The
Pittsburg Commercial is of the opinion
that the "Tylerizing" of Andrew John
son has been postponed indefinitely.—
The idea and hope existed only with the
Democrats and some few ridiculously rad.
kat papers, which made up by virulence
what they lacked in truth. If we mistake
not, the time has passed when Mr. John
son would have his back quite turned on
the party that elected him, and himself
in full communion with the Democracy.
Judging from the recent elections, instead
of the President losing himself in such a
vortex, the Democratic party has gene out
of sight, with the smallest possible chance
ofever appearing again. Ii is to belloped
that gentlemen with.weak nerves on the
Republidan side, and' gentlemen with
great expectations on the Democratic side,
will cease to concern themselves about
the course of the President.
Tho . Nationa/ Intelligence?. or thol4th
inst., says that at a conservative meetine
in New Creek, Virginia, last week, the
leading Democratic orator uttered the fol
lowing sentiment :—"The assassination of
Abraham Lincoln was a Merciful dispen
sation, was a merciful dispeusation, but
it would be a still more merciful dispen
sation if his unworthy successor, Andrew
Johnson,should be assassinated." He bas
since been made the subject of an arrest,
and is now in Cumberland jail.
'Negroes voted, in Pennsylvania,
up to the thlo'ption of the new Constitu
tion, in 1838. Wo hie never learned
that their so voting made them the social
equals of the whites, or that they carried
off in wedlock the white young maidens
of those days. However, as Copperheads
are so apprehensive that negroes would
become their equals and marry them if
admitted to the ballot box, we are not
sure we can favor thr clothing of them
with the privilege. On thedistinct ques
tion of allowing intelligent colored people
to vote, Iwe do not see any great objec
tions to it ; but if the intermarrage of
them and Coppeshearls is to accompany
the voting, we shall have to reffect illati
on the subject before expressing an opin
ion. We have considerable sympathy for
th cobre race.--ZaLuon Courier.
NATIONAL TILANKOGIVING DAY.
HT ME PRICSIDENT OP. THE UNITED STATES,
A PROCLAMATION.
Winutea, it 'has pleased Almighty
God during the year whioh is now com
ing to an end; to relieve our belo.ved coun
try from the fearful scourge of civil war,
and, permit us to secure the blessing of
peace, • unity and - harmony, with a great
enlargement of civil liberty; •
And whereas, our Heavenly Father
has also during the year graciouly averted
from us the calamities of foreign war,'pes
tilence and famine, while our granories
are full of the fruits of an abundant
season;
Anti tchereas, "righteousness exalteth
a nation, while sin is a reproach to' any
people ;"
Now therefore be it known that I,
Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, do hereby recommend to the peo
ple thereof, that they do set apart and
observe the first Thursday of December
twit as a day of National Thanksgiving
to the Creator of the Universe, for these
deliverances and blesSings.
And I do further recommend that on
that occasion the whole people make con
fession of onr National sins against His
infinite goodness, and with one heart and
one mind implore the Divine guidance in
thesays of (National virtue and holiness.
In testimony whereof I'have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the pity of Washington, this
28th day of October, in the year of our
Lord Ono Thpueand Fight Hundred and

A Proclamation, By Gov. A. G. Curtin
A THANKSGIVING.
With feelings of the most profound grat
itude to Almighty God, I invite the good
people of the Commonwealth to meet in
their places of pnblie worship, on Thurs
day the.7th dall of December next, and
raise their hearts and voices in praise and
thanksgiving to him, not only fOr the
manifold ordinary blessings which during
the past year He has continued to heap
upon us, for abundant and`gathered har
vests, for thriving induitry, for general
health, for domestic good,order And gov
ernment, but also most expressly and ferv
ently for his unequalled goodness in having
so strengthened and guided our people
duting the last four years that they have
been enabled to crush to earth the late wick-
ed 'rebellion and to exterminate the Sys'
tem of human slavery which caused it. •
"As we wre.s'tleliti prayer. with Him in
the dark time of our trouble—when our
brothers and sons were staking life and
limb for us on many a bloody field, or
sneering by torture and famine in the
Hells of Aodersonville or the Libby—so
now when our implications have been so
mavellously and graciously answered, let
us not witbold from Him the homage of
our thanksgiving. Let us say to all,
"Choose you this day whom you willserve
but as for us and our house we will serve
the Lord."
;Come then ye people whom he bath so
helped and led--come ye war-worn and
mutilated men whom He bath permitted
to return to your dear homes—let us throng
,the gates of His temples—let us throw
ourselves on the knees of our hearts with
awful joy at the foot of Itis throne, and
render aloud our praise and thanksgiving
to him, because He bath made the right
to prevail—because he Lath cleansed our
land from the stain of human slavary—
' and because He bath graciously shown
forth in the eyes of oilmen the great truth
that no government is so strove; as a Re
public, controlled, under His guidance,by
an educated, 'moral and religious people.
