WAsHINGToE, Jan. 81, 1862.
The speech of Andrew johnson this af-
tcFnoon, in the British case, surpassed all
the expectations Of his friends, and all the
previous efforts of his life. It was heard
by crowded audience, aud drew tears
from the eyes of the stoutest men, You
will, of course, haveit imprint. The les
son taught in this speech should go to the
heart of every Democrat in the land, and
should especially 60 to the men who are
preparing to follow the lead of such SYM
pathizers with treason as assume to con-
troll the Democratic partyin the free States.
Andrew Johnson is, in fact, the embodi-
ment of true and living Democracy. He
is a Southern maa. 1E+there js IN this
country man who has che right to COM
plain of the Administration of Mr. Lincoln,
1t Is Andrew Johnson, and if there is any
one who could complain with irresistible
effect, 1t Is this same man. But how does
hetreat the Administration of RepubIi-
can President2 Does he do as the leaders
of the so-Called Democracy in your Legis-
lature do2 Does he caYil about coercion;
whine about utuncOnstitutiopal enactments;
shed crocodile tears over corruption, aud
pirate the parret song that it Was the Re-
publicans who have brought on this war,
or could have prevented its occurrence2 r.
No. Although the operations of our
army in kentucky, intended to open the
way into Eastern Tennessee, have been
most laggard although his own home has
been desolated, his wife and children COM
PEELED to fly, his sou-in-law in prison, and
his friends in exile, no word of complaint
is heard against the management Of the
war from his patriotic lips. He knows the
Administration has done its best and he
confdes in it. He EeSerues kis e9rses and
eoRRtniHts for Tie SoWthern traitors. thrust
theretis not a Democrat in the land who
will not see how effectually he disposes Of
the plea thatif the Gritteuden Compro-
misses had been adopted there would have
been no war, aud with what ineffable
scorn he put under his heel the hcartless
aud hollow pretext Of those who seek to
embarrass the Administration in its pros
secution Of the war. This strumpet blast OF
the great Senator from Tennessee should
break down the jericho now in course of
construction by false leaders under the
name of democracy. Itshould Rt once put
life into an Irresistible Union party. The
patriotic Republicans are al reGdy for It. Il
Is only the expousuts of Breckenridge in
1860 and the sympathisers with treason in
1851 who arsoppOsed 70 this org anization.

Shedding Tears Mt Wiu.-Curfous
Examples.
An English weekly paper has these
pleasant paragraphs
Tears of childhood and early youth are
allowable-nHy, sometimes desirable. But
the tears of grown people are more or less
Objectionable. An adult who weeps ex-
travagantly is either unhealthily suseeptt-
BILE or bent upon deceiving the bystanders.
We do not refer to tears wrung from un-
willing eyes by the pressure of some terri
Bile calamity. We mean tears shed for the
sake of appearance or with view to de-.
ceiVe. We mean tears evoked by histri-
onic Influences in private or public life.
We mean the lachrymose sensibility to a
doleful Impression so often proved to be
compatible with n cold and crnel heart.
Actors-we do'not mean actors i'll social
circles aud on public platforms, of which
there are SO muny, but bona Jfde actors on
the stage -are of course right TO cultivate
the faculty of weeping. 1t helps both
themselves and the spectators to realize
the passion represented. We have read,
indeed, of an actor SO thoroughly carried
away by his feelings, whilst performing in
suicide scene, Rs not only to plunge a
real dagger home to the hilt in his breast,
but faithfully TO support his character to
the last by dying, in studied attitude, ac-
cording to the most approved stage rules.
We confess, however, that the story comes
from the other side of tho Atlantic, and
may not be strictly true. On the other
hand, one of our foremost English actors
