1t is daily becoming more apparent that
President Johnson has sold out the Union party
His policy does not embody even a shadow oil
the moral sentiment of the anti slavery party
shich placed him ia power. he is going il
alone, on his own hook. aud is carrying with
him none but those who are mere hangers on,
place hunters and seekers of party spoils- There
ID no righteous sentiment in the breasts of the
loyal men of the North in favor of the restors-
ton OF the rebels TO political rights III such
haste, while the Copperheads are ardent sup
porters and admirers of his policy. President
johnson, notwithstanding the oit-repeated as
sertion that he is only carrying out the line OF
policy settled upon by Mr.. Lincoln, has not in
bis breast one of those generous impulses which
shaped the action of his lamented predecessor.
and be has none of that genuine sympathy for
the oppressed which dictated the Emancipation
Proclamation as an act of justice and humanity
toward the eol0red race. Mr.. Lincoln believed
in the doctrine of equal rights. President john
son ignores that doctrine. and inwardly resolves
that the negro shall be held in a q state of SUBJ
jugstion TO white rule, and has shaped the
policy of his Administrator accordingly.
He is, In every sense Of the term, a represen-
tative of the opinions of the Democratic party,
a. they were before the war, upon all matters
touching the negro question. Now, since the
war has destroyed slavery, he, a. do all Demo
Gratis, accepts It's destruction sc a liked fact, but
be goes no further. BE ia the sntipods in senti-
ment Of the spirit Of the Republican party which
elected him, and Is. in every essential particular,
the representative OF the opponents OF that
party.
We undertake TO say that. had a Democratic
President taken his seat upon the death of Mr..
Lincoln, be could scarcely have gone farther in
extending. rights and privileges to rebels than
has Andrew Johnson. he has left netting IN
done. save the enforcement OF The Emancipation
Proclamation He has ~pardonei aud restored
to their political rights. in the Government
nearly all the prominent rebels. and has placed
the loyal people of the South in subsection TO
traitors and arrant rebels. he has given the
rebels, not only more than they expected, but
more than they asked. He has made rebellion and
treason respectable by setting Up those which Sc
cession had oyerthrOwn. He has taken the sword
out of the hands Of the enemies ofthe Government,
but put q crown upon their heads, and has made
rulers OF the conquered and subjects or the con
Querors. We arrsigu Andre~ johnson as faith
less TO the trust repOsed in him, aud We cut loose
from him. We no longer acknowledge him 81
our leader, or the head of The great Union party
which saved this nation from is enemies.
Andrew johnson. f~orgetful that he should DE the
exponent OF the sentiment OF the Union party,
has undertaken 10 force il 10 follow his leader
ship. We refuse TO follow such a guide. and the
sooner the Unlon party shall Gu. loose from him
the better IL will be for the country The people,
under the plea of party necessity" should act
suffer themselves 10 be lead hradlong Into evil.
We are for party j0st so long a. party is sabser
Went 20 principle. and whenever IL ceases 20 De
50 then We cut loose from 10 meshes
