purposes they have set up and whom
they could not control or: corrupt, they
have put down, regardless of merit or Ca
pacity. At last they have caught Tar
tar. Whatever ANDREW JOHNSON may
have done to conciliate their favor, he, in
his present position, has the dignity and
manhood to think and act for himself, and
sufficient political and moral fidelity to re-
spect the Constitution and his official oath.
The Republican leaders are beginning to
have visions and to fear fate like that of
NzsUOHADNEzzAR. They shudder with
horror at the prospect of being turned out
to grass. They see the handwriting on
the wall, and like BnsHAzzAR, in the very
midst and enjoyment Of the feast, their,
eountsnanoes change, their thoughts
trosble them so that the joints of their
loins are loosed, Gnstaaoe, Gov. Au1xRs
weak back, and their knees smite one

wards may be promptly executed by mill

or judicial interference. Though the ne
roes are thus wards under guardianship
of the government, the Republicans are,

ture to preserve their waning power, de-
termined to make them citizens and voters
whether the States will consent or not.

through his weakness and mental imbecil-

weight of his Office to the support of the
desperate cause, comes down from his
high position, to perambulate the country,
Cike another kind of Professors who court
the favors of fortune and WOO her with
diabolical tricks in the miserable and des-
picable business of peddling fulsome polit-
ical fattery to whole congregations of mig
gers. The ermine of that court was never
before polluted by any, in favor of
any party. Now, upon the shadows OF
Chief Justice Chase, it it besmeared all
over with the most repulsive and obscene
partisan spittle, and tainted with the
odors of negro hustings.
With the control of the Government
and its patronage through its finances in
one hand land with the suffrage Of negroes
(partizan slaves) to control the preponder-

this black Federal party intend and hope
to retain in their hands the Government
for all time. They will not succeed. The
