I wuz sum noiied to Washington by
that eminently grato ami good man,
Aiuh'oo Johnson, to a'-teinl a consulta
tion ez to tlie proposed Western tour
which was to bu undertaken lor the pur
poso uv arousin the masses uv tho West
to a sense uv tho danger whioh wuz
Ihieateiiin uv em in case they persisted
in centralism tho power uv tho Govern
ment into the hand uv a Congress, in
stid uv diftusin it throughout tho hands
uv one man, which is Johnson. I got
thero too late to tako part in tho tirst uv
tho dismission. When I nrrova they
had everything settled, ceptin tho ap.
pointment uv a cheplain for tho ex
eursion. Tho President insisted on my
lilhn that position, but Seward objected
(Li wanted Buee her. but Johnson WUZ
inflexibly ngiin him. "I am determin
ed'' sez he, "to carry out my policy, but
I have some bowels lett. Beecher hez
dan enuir already, con.shleiiii the
pay ho got. No ! no ! ho shell bu spar
ed this trip indeed he shell."
"Very good," said Seward, -but at
least lind somo il. rgynian who indorses
us without hevin P. M. to his honored
name. It would look better."
'1 know it wood," replied Johnson,
"but where, kin we find suh a one? I
hev swung around the entire circle nod
hevn't aa yet Been him. Nusliy it must
be."
Theie wuz then a lively d, scission as
t,) the 1 ropriely, hi lore the pmccsMon,
ot romovin all the LVderul oliiis hohleis
011 the proposed loule, and appoiiitin
men who Lelecvod in us, (.Johnson,
Beecher and me.) that wo in:ght be
sliooi uv a soutalile reeeptshnn at each
pint at which we wuz to slop. The An
nointed w nz in i ivoi uv it- SkV. he,
'ihem ez won't support my olisy shim't
eat my bread and bu ter.' Banil.ill and
Dooli'llo chimed in, for its gi.l-to bo a
purl ot their religion to assent to what
ever the President scz. but I mildly pro
tested. I owe a duty to the paity, and
I 11m determined to do it.
'Most High,' sez I, 'a seltin hen which
is lazy makes 110 fuss cut its head oil'
and it-flops ah nit for a whiio livily
Lincoln's ollice-huldeis are scttin-hens.
They don't like yoo nor y.oor policy, but
while they are on their nests will keep
modcritly quiet. Cut off their heads
and they will spurt their blood in yoor
(.ice. Ez to bem ei shoorcd of 1 recep
tion at each point, yoo need fear nolliin.
Calkerliition uioderilly, there are at least
twenty-live or ih rty patriots who feel a
call for every ofln in yoor disposal. So
long, Yoor Hiehnis, tz them oflisis is
h' ld jii.il whero they kin seo em, and
they don't know which is to git em, yoo
may dcpenl upon the entiru citluiosi
asm uv each, individyooally and aolleo

town and yoo inaka tho a.poiutmeiits.
yoo hev sckooicd -t supporters till yoo
make tho appointinon'.s yoo hev tho hun
dred who expect to get them.'
Tho President agred with mo that
until af.er tho trip the g'lllotino shoud
stop.
. Secretary Seward scjesled that n clean
shirt wood improve my personal upper
aneo. and aekordingly 11 cirkular wuz
sent to tho clerks in tho Departments,
assessin em for that purpose. Sich uv em
cz refoosed to contribute their quota
wuz instantly dismissed tor disloyally.
At last we started and I must say we
wuz got up in a highly conciliatory style.
Every one of Iho civilians uv tho party
woro buzziim pins, ct settery, which was
presented to em by Iho Southern dele

uU'uir. I never sa,v His imperial High-

his speech to better idvantago than I
ever heard him doit beforo, nndl bcliovo
I've heard it.a hinulred tunes. Wo left
Noo Yoik sadly. Even now, tz I write
tho roiuombraiuio uv that pereeshttn
the recollection uv that banquet lingers
I mJ ,u aml t1(J ta8t0 uv .;t,m wws

We had a inishun to perform, and wo
put ourselves 011 a steamboat and start
ed. Ausany Thero wuz a immense
crowd, but tho Czir uv nil tho Ainerikas
didn't get off his speech here. Tho Gov
ernor welcomed him, but ho welcomed
him ez tho Chect Magistrate uv the
nashun, and happened to drop in Lin
coln's name. That struck a chill over
over tho party, and tho President got
out uv it ez soon ez possible. Bein
res eved ez Chccf Magistrate, and not, ez
tho great Pacificator, ain't his Eg
gslency's best holt. It was unkind uv
Guv. Kenton to doit. If ho takes the
papers he must know that his Mightiness
ain't g it but 0110 Hpeeeh, and he ought
to hev made. sich a recepshan ez wood
nev enabled him to got it off. We shook
tho dust off uv our foet and loft Albany
in disgust.
Skusactabv. Tho people uv this do
liglitful liltlo villago wuz awake when
the unpcrial train arrived, Tho changes
hcvcu't bin made in the olliees here, and
eonsekently thero wuz a splendid rccep
shun. I didn't suppose thero wuz no
many patriots along the Mohawk. I wuz
pinted out by sum one cz the President's
private adviser a sort uv IYtvate Sec
velaiy uv Slate and afer the train
started I found '-Ml petitions (or the
post-oflli in Skciuiktedy 111 my side coat
pocket, which tho patriots who bed hur
rahed so vociferously had dcxieiously
deposited there. Tho iusideot wuz a
niovin oae. 'Thank God,' thought I, 'so
long ez we h ;v tho po.-t ofli-es to give,
we kin alhiz hev a parlv.' The Sudan
swung around the cirklo wunst here,
and leaving the constitooshiin in then
hands the it nin moved If.
Bomi:. Here we had a splendid 10
cepshun, and I never heard His Majesty
speak more feliuiously. Ho ineiishuiicd
to tho andieneo that ho lied swung
around the Southern side uv tho cirklo
and wuz now swingiu around the North
ern side uv it. and that he wuz lighlin
traitors on all sides. I In left tho Con

with greater warinjh and jeiked more
originality than I lied before observed.
He inlrodnotcd here the 11 1111:1k that he
didn't couio to make a speech that ho

and ef n martyr wuz wanted, bo wuz

LoiiKi'oitr Tho President is iinpiov

he was set on savin the cotirtryi wich lied

At this pi"t I interrupted him. I told

President recovered his ekanimity and
swung around the cirklo wunst, and
loavin tho Constooshiii in their hands,
retired. j
At the noxt pint wo wuz astounded at

MR. JOHNSON IN HISTORY.
Mr Johnson and Mr. Johnson's friends
urge in favor of tho inconsistencies and
caprices ot that gentlemen's course
known as his policy, that bo is simply
administering Mr. Lincoln's estate ot
patriotism and stalemanship. The do
ts nso is urged with great unction, espo
chilly by the men who systematically
abused Mr. Lincoln for his policy and as
systematically praiso Mr. Johnson for
adopting and following it. It is dillieult
for reasonable men ' to understand why
what was foolish, base, tr weak in Mr
Lincoln should bo wise, noble, and euer-
getio in Mr. Johnson. No satisfactory
explanation of this political alchemy has
yet bean given, and it has the appear
ance rather ot a slander upon Mr. Lin
coln than a defenso of Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson's policy in this respect is
not without fr-irikiiigp irnllol in history.
After Ciuar's assassination the profligate
Mark Antony succeeded by tho most
arrant demagoguisin in controlling the
Government. He accomplished this by
promises as unequivocal and apparently
unselfish as thoso of Mr. Johnson, and
by equally unscrupulous disregard and
violation of them. Tho language ot the
historian describing his usurpation, his
ambition and his treacheiy to the lie
public, under tho specious pretenso of
carrying out Lis predecessor's policy, is.i
graphic pioturo of tho present political
career of Andrew Johnson.
'It was not till tho first of Juno that
Antoniiis had changed his conduct.
From that limo all hia actions were in
strong contrast with the policy which he
bad already stamp'.d as true loyalty.
He ceased to consult iho Senate, and
carried his measures through tho coinilia
oftho li'ibes. IIo recalled whom he
would from banishment, made what laws
he pleased, appointed his own creatures
to place and ollloe, and pleaded thu ill
,of tho dead Ciear tar every act of his
selfish ar.d voi ul policy.'
It would bu dillieult to describe more
accurately the American dictator, who
settled great national questions in accor
dance with his individual opinion, placed
Ins actions in stroi g contrast with Ih
policy which he had already stamped as
true loyalty, ceased to consult tho Senate,
and manages public aliairs throiiL'h bis
own reconstructed Slate Governments,
'pardons whom ho chooses, appoints his
own crealiitcs to place and dike, and
deads the purposes of tlio dead Lincoln
for every act . ot his selfish and venal
policy
One other figure is needed to complete
the picture, and Cleopatra, sorceress of
the Nihynay find an histoncat successor,
ii'.d indeed a queen, in the pardou-brok
cress of the Capital. Detroit Putt.
AN INlTvmiiLElIST.
The Washington Pa, A'. yjyi-w says,
Ifany loyal man is at a loss to know
how to voto us between Geaiy and Cly
meratlhe coming election, ho has only
to ask whioh of the two men the tiure
pentelit rebels and traitors oftho South
want to see successful, Threo years ago
when the war was raging, and when
Andrew G. Cuilin and George W.
Woodward were before the people of
Pennsylvania as opposing candidates for
Governor, we proposed tlio raiuo lest by
which Union men could at once ascertain
what was their duty, and now that trea
son would laitr accomplish in thu halls
of legislation what it lost 011 tho field, it
is uonu thu less infallible That the
b dlled traitors nil desire the election of
lh i.-ter Clyuici' is so plain that no one
need bu mistaken. The Il.irri.sbtug Tel
'jniph lately re.x-ived a Mississippi paper
containing iho following first rate notice
of Mr. Clvmur, which of course ought to
commend him strortgly to his followers.
'The South will never forgot 1 leister
Clviucr, and 0110 ot tho essential advan
tages necessary to enable Andrew John
sou to restore the people ot thu South to
all their former powers and privileges,
is his election as Governor id' Pennsyl
vania, a result which every true Southern
man should pray to God tor ns torvonily
as they prayed br iho success ot Gen
eral Leo when hu was iiiqading Pennsyl

GEN. Git ANT'S POSITION.
O110 ot tho editors of the Chicago litf
pu'iliean recently had a conversation
villi Genera! Grant, which he details as
follows :
"IIo went on to reiterate his determi
nation not to bo used by those who
sought to commit him eiihur for or

Grant was politically with the President,
and one similar occasion by Jfr. Seward.
no leu nun it. was, unovo 11:1 ll.ings, tie-
sirablo for ullicers of thu army to avoid
participation in ordinary political conflicts
except that it was their duty as citizens
to support only men who could show a
record of eonsi-tenl loyalty. Whether
a man's sentiments were Johnsonian or
Bepnhlican. UK SAID HE FELT IT
WAS AN INSULT TO ANY LOYAL
MAN TO ASK HIM TO VOTE FOll
AN YCANDII'ATIS WHO WAS NOT
A LOYAL MAN IN lStil. In this
connection ho said that, without ex
pressing any views of his own for or
against the lohuson policy, ho felt it to
bu a misfortune lor Mr. Johnson that
tho advocates of his policy in tho States
through which wo had just past, Mis
souri, Illinois and Indiana, had 111 some
instances put upon their ticket men who
m 18(11 and 18(12 HAD BEEN GUIL
TY OF KNOWN DISLOYALTY TO

this was said in a very cmphatio manner)
HE FELT TllVi' TO ASK MEN
W HOSE SONS HAD SUED THEIit
r.LOOD FOU THE UNION TO
VOTE FOU MEN WHO HAD BEEN
DISLOYAL TO IT, WAS THE
G15EATKST INSULT THAT COULD

sult. If men desired to support Mr.
Johnson's policy, let them, but at nll

as were true lo their country in 1861."
THE RISE IN REBEL BONDS.
The Chailseton (S C.) Courier of the
3d inalant slates that tho cablo telegram
announcing that thu Philadelphia Con
vention had caused a rise in Uobol bonds
in London has been fully confirmed by
a private dispatch sent to that pnper by
tho agent of thu Associated I'iosh.- As
this comes fiom undoubted authority, it
may well to examine the chances -which
there are that thoso bonds will ever be

On Saturday last Geu. John A. to

ol General Grant. After a few introduc
tory remarks, ho -aid ho reraemberea
that it -was Galena that had given 0 the
country that distinguished soldier and
patriot; General U.S. Grant, and tlmt
this was his home, and it was to bis
friends and neighbors ho now spoke
IIu had fought und-ir his banner in the
field j he expected to' fight under it in
civil life. He could say ho kuew Gen
eral Grant well and intimately, and he
knew all his hopes and sympathies were1
witli the great loyal masses of the na
tion, w ho by their valor and blood had
saved thj country. Long continued
applause. Whatever efforts might b
made lo have it appear that ho was in
sympathy with Copperheads' and rebel
in their efforts to turn tho GovernmerVt
over to traitors, North and South', ;'h
wished to Bay to the people hero and!
everywhere that Gen. Grant was entitled
to the lullest confidence ot th6 Union

shown unmistakably that ho was right.'
A voice, "We all know it." He would'
say this to relieve the counlry, that he
kuew, others in this presence know, and
all who know General Grant's opinions,
know, that he was openly for the ConstU'
tutioual auicudmeut presented by Con
gress. Prolonged applause. .Not ouly
that, but he knew of his own knowl
edge that ho was earnestly for the Civil 1
Bights Bill, and had used all his influx,
eneo to induce tho Prcsidont to sign it .
Great cheering He would say fur-)
ther, that asfarns Goi.oral Grant -was 1
concerned, the army would be used fdfl
every proper extent to protect the Union t
men ot the South against the oppression ,
of rebels. Cheers. All tho signs o t
tho times indicated that Johnson was tp
be tho candidate in 1808 of the great
Coppeihead and rebel party, p. In that 1
view it was important do' destroy the;
confidence whioh the Union party , had
in Grant. That great soldier is the idol1
ot tho Union party and the loyal men of,
the courtry, and hu was the man whom ,
they delighted to honor. . The plan, of ,
tho Copperheads and of Johnson men
was to destroy General Grant's chances,,

compromise him in the Johnson policy ,,
of turning thu Government over to trai,

of "Never, never." No word of Grant ,
is heard to uphold rebels in the Gov
eminent or out of the Government. He
will in .intain such a position by his con-'
duct and official acts as will enable all.
loyal and Union men to gather around .
him in BSCS, and to placo him in that
position whero ho will save tho, country
in penco as he had douo in war. Cheer ,

GRANT'S OPINION OF CLYMERe '
White Gun. Grant was in Philadel
phin a Johnsonite told hint that Clymer t
would got tho larger part of the soldier

will bo mistaken in that. Clymer is a
Coppeihead, and the soldier who votes 1
for him, will disgraco himself and the
