Not vet two months ago, nearly all
Of the newspapers Of the North, were
hitter in their denunciations OF the
the present occupant Of the Presiden-
tial chair. They held him up TO the
public gaze SIS s man who had brought
disgrace upon himself and upon the
country and called upon him TO ezpi-
ate his offeuse by abdicatiug the high
position 10 which the people had called
him, and retire to the shades OF obscu-
l5ty. They did not stop TO inquire into
the truth and Justice Of the charges
made against 1lr. Johnson but as
cunning THAT they were true sssalied
linn with a coarseness and brutality
discreditable to the enlightened age IN
which we live. He stood unmoved IN
the torrent of calumny that was ralned
upon him. All the comment he made
upon it was the quiet remark viii

then dream how soon the voice Of the
slanderer would be attuned to notes OF
eulogy. The powerless Vice President
on the 18th Of April became President
the dispenser Of vast patronage. But
one turn Of the kaleidoscope, and how
wonderful the change! The dark
clouis of the 4th Of March are lifted,
disclosing landscape bright, beautiful
and inviting. Nothing more lovely
ever thrilled the heart Of the poet or
painter, under the soft skies OF Italy.
The unworthy, greatly abused Vice
President, becomes a miracle Of states

are called upon 10 love and revere him.

been the came, only, in his case, the
order Of events is reversed. His bril-
liant generalship, the mighty and
crushing blows he dealt the rebellion
won him the highest need Of a5mira-
ton. Wherever civilization extends
he was regarded and spoken Of as one
Of The foremost military chiefs in the
