President Jonnson and Congress.

LETTER FROM A CABINET OFFICER.

The New York Times, of Nov. 13th, contains the
following important special despatch from Wash-
ington :
Washington, Nov. 14.

The following is a portion of a communication to-.
day addressed by a member of the Cabinet to a friend
of the Administration in New England, who seemed
to be apprehensive that the difficulties between the
President and Congress might induce action on the
part of the former which would tend to• widen the
breach if it did not put important interests in peril.
The member of the Cabinet says :
" Notwithstanding his long public career, few
men seem to be less understood than President
Johnson. That he is a man of strong convictions
and earnest purposes is evident from the manner in
which he advocated and pushed forward important
measures in Congress, like the Homestead Bill, and
the stand which he- took against secession and in
favour of the Government during the late civil war.
He believes that the manner in which he pro-
posed that the Government should deal with
the Southern States was not only a mag-
nanimous one, but the only one likely to re-
sult in a speedy and hearty reconciliation be-
tween the sections, and he has felt it to be his duty
to sustain his views by the exercise of such powers
as the Constitution had clothed him with. But
while this has been, and doubtless will continue to
be, his course, he will violate:no law, nor fail to per-
form the duties which are legally devolved upan
him. He will veto every bill that he may regard
unconstitutional, no matter how unpopular it may
be for him to do so ; but he will execute with scru-
pulous fidelity all laws, and especially those to which
he has declined to give his Executive sanction.
The apprehension which you seem to feel, and
which many others share with you, that Mr. John-
son will attempt to force Southern representatives
into Congress, or do any other imprudent thing by
which the public peace will be disturbed, or the
public credit be deranged, is utterly unfounded.
While he will exercise fearlessly the power which
he possesses under the Constitution, in furtherance
of the measures which he thinks are best calculated
to promote the public weal, he will not quarrel with
Congress for pursuing the same independent course.
He regrets the disagreement between the Legisla-
tive and Executive branches of the Government,
and would, I doubt not, yield much to effect a re-
conciliation. He will not, however, sacrifice his
principles nor violate the Constitution, according to
his interpretation of it, no matter what pressure
may be brought to bear upon him. He seems to do
right as he understands the right, and will trust to
time for the vindication of his course. He will be
as true to the Constitution and the Government as
President of the United States as he was true and
steadfast to the Union in the darkest days of its
trials."
