Where Andrew johnson Stands.

a Washington letter to the st. Louis
Democrat says:
1t is but short time since distim-
guished Senator called upon the Presi-
dent. A delegation of Conservatives had
just left him. Turning to the Senator, he
said III wonder if those persons, who
but now passed out, imagine that / for

in that delegation that woulden't have
united in Offering reward for my scalp a
few years ago, and now they talk to me
as if / owed everything to them

Again A well known editor of a
prominent Northern journal said to the
President: "1rhe Democracy say you
will yet be found with them That you
have always been a good Democrat, and
will always SO remain"
"Do they. responded Mr.. Johnson
"Well, sir, you arc at The liberty to tell
all such gentleman that, while, as Prosi-
dent | shall endeavor to drop any parti-

"Mr. President we are discouraged

"Gentleman," answered Mr.. johnson,

Too Sharp all Round,

An earthenware dealer at Lilo. finding
himself going to the bad, determined to
swindle his creditors, and so abroad with
tho money he might amass. He let his
wife and clerk into the secret, and told
them to sell clandestinely all the goods in
the shop; this done, he was to send a tel
egram to his wife announcing his death
in a duel at Belgium; thereupon she was
TO celebrate . funeral service to which all
his creditors were to be invited, appear
in deep mourning, and rejoin him with
the spoils at Belgium. The wife faith
fully followed the fret part of her hus-
bands orders. She sold the stock in
shop, had the funeral soryice celebrated,
went into mourning, and ran off with the
creditors money, but instead of joining
her husband, she ran in another direction
with the clerk. Her husband had told
her he was a man in whom she could place
implicit confidence. The husband, furi-
Gus at the double trick played on him,
laid information to the police, and all
three have been arrested, tried, and SEN
fenced to imprisonment.

PdYsIoLoGICAL PHENoMENoN.-
Among tho soldiers who have just re-
turned from the Geld, there is physio-
logical phenomenon observable which is
sono what at variance with usual theories
1t is that light.haired men, Of the nerv-
Gus sanguine type. stand campaigning
better than the dark-haired men, of bill
ious temperament. Look through raw
regiment, on its way to the field, and you
will find fully onc-half Of its members
to be of the black haired, dark-skined'
largc-boncd bilious type, See that same
regiment on its return for muster out,
and you will find that the black haired
clement has melted. away, leaving at
least, two thirds, perhaps three-fourths,
of the regiment to be represented by red /,
brown and flaxen hair. 1t is also no.
ticod that men from the cities, slightcr
in yhysique and apparently, at outset, uu-
able to endure fatigue. and. privations
stand severe campaign much better than
men from the agricultural districts A
thin, pale-looking dry goods clerk will do
more marching and starving than many
brawny plow-boy who looks muscular
enough to take bull by the tail and throw
him oyer staked and rdered fence.

A Political Catechism.

There are some men who Seem Mortified
at the idea of giving any but white men
the benefit Of the truths which the Faith
ers of the Republic declared concerning
all men. The same men usually have
much to- say respecting the principles Of
the Democratic Party, and profess them
selves the only true followers of Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. The fol.
lowing catechism is a good subject for
their meditations:
Who said that all men arc created
equal2 Thomas Jefferson, the Father Of
Democracy
Who gave tho negro the right of suf-
frage in New York ? The Democratic
Party
Who presided over the Convention
which gave this privilege to the negroes ?
Martin Van Buren,, Democrat.
Who afterwards elected Martin Van
Buren, to the Presidency The Demo-
cratic Party.
Who married negro woman, and by
her had mulatto childrcnY Richard NJ.
Jol nson, good Democrat.
Who elected Richard NJ. johnson Vice
President of the United States. The
Democratic Party.
Who made the negro citizen of the
State of Maine2 The Dcmocratia Party.
Who enacted similar law in Massa-
chusetts? Tho Democratic Party.
Who gave nc negro the right to vote
in New Hampshire ? The Democratio
Party.
Who permitted every colored person
owning $3.50 in New York to become
voter? A General Assembly, purely Dem
ocratic.
Who repealed the laws Of Ohio which
required negroes to give bonds and secu-
rity before settling in that State ? The
Democratic Party.
Who made mulattoes legal voters in
Ohio? A Democratic Supreme Court, of
which Reuben Wood was chief Justice.
What became of Reuben Wood ? The
Dmocratic Party elected him Governor
three times and ho is still leader of the
Democratic Party.
Who helped to give free negroes the
right to vote in Tennpsoe, under her Con-
stitution of 179G? General Jackson.
Was General Jackson good Demo
crat? He generally passed as such.
Who, with the above facts, and many
others. staring them in the face, are con
tinually winning about 'ncgro' suffrage
and negro equality? The Democratic
Party. Z
All these things were done by Dem
ocrats, and yet they deny being in favor
of negro equality, and charge it upon the

On the morning of the | fth Of Septem-
Der, 1777, the British army advanced in
full force to Chadds Fcrd, for the pur-
pose of crossing Brandywino Creek and
bringing ON an action with Washington.
Sir William Howe drove Maxwell's divi-
sion across the creek by ten o'clock at one
of the lower fords.
The Hessian General Kpypbausen,
with largo force, advanced upon the
creek, and uniting with Lord CORVALLIS,
who commanded the left wing of the army,
crossed at the upper ford of the riyar and

Democratic nomination for President in
1868. The plan adopted is to keep Sher-

hope of producing division between
him, Grant and johnson, and take adyan-

SHALL CANADA BE ANNEXED ?--The
feeling of the Canadians in favor of the
annexation of their province to this coun-
try is represented to be gradually grow
ing and Strengthening, notwithstanding
some drawbacks with which it metin the
late Commercial Conyention at Detroit
The provincials, while their towns remain
dull and almost devoid ofbuisiness, glance
across the line and see cities and yilages
close to them alive with all the stir, hum
and hustle Of tceming trade and industry,
and quietly but earnestly long to be un-
der the flag and insttutionsin which such
prosperity iphercs. 1t is said that tho
contrast formed by the business activity
on one side of the border, and the alb
sence of it on the other, is just now even
more marked than at any, former time,
and il il believed that unless the proyin-
cial Parliment does something al ia usxt
session giving promise of improvement
to the Canadians, the annexation storm
will break cut with fury.-But putting
the question ofannexation fair and square
before the American people. DO they
desire Canada to be annexed They on
fy answer we can give is, that no such
desire has been expressed by tho People,
however it may have been by certain
pressea.
