A political struggle, rarely surpassed in
Importance or Intensity, has been precipi-
tated on the country by the treachery of
Andrew Johnson and some of his official
or personal adherents 10 the great, and
patnottc party byw hlch they were intrust-
ed with power.
The aim of his treachery is to put the
steadfast loyalists of the South under the
feet OF the " whipped, but not subdued,"
Rebels and to enablethe latter to 1t their
vengeance on the former, whom they hate
and curse as responsible for the most un-
federacy.7'
The recent wholesale massacres at Mem
phis and New o cleans We're but conspicu-
Gus manifestations of the spirit now ram
pant in the South, whereof the pro- Rebel
triumph in Kentucky is a more recent ex-
ample. The soldiers of Lee, Beauregard,
Johnston and Hood are now the dominant
power from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande; they elect each other to office in
preference even to stay-at-home Rebels;
they have supplanted nearly all Others as
policemen of southern cities; they are Or
ganized and differed as S ate militia; and
they ruthleSsly crush every demonstration
of loyal Whites or loyal Blacks in aSser-
ton of the equal RICH IS of American Free
men The school houses of the Blacks are
burnt and their White teachers subjected
to violence and outrage by unchanged
