WHAT WE CAN DO.

Should the President persist in his opposi-
tion to the constitutional amendment, and the
rebel south sustain him in it, the natural eff.
feet OF his course upon Congress will be to
overcome all the Republican opposition to
the admission of Colorado and Nebraska as
States, since 1t is rapidly becoming apparent
to all that as the President is so unscrupulous
in the means he adopts to thwart the policy
of the Republican party, the latter must not
waste its chances, but avail itself of the
means at hand to sustain its strength in the
Senate and add to the votes for ratifying the
amendment. Ii is susceptible of demonstra-
ton that the amendment can be ratified
without the aid of the rebel States, even
while counting them in the general aggre-
gate. This is by admitting TO the Union
the new States at the far west desirous of
admission.
We have indicated two of these New
Mexico is third Let East Tennessee be
created State, in accord with the prayer of
her people, and she would be Republican,
and ratify the amendment. Form western
Texas into a new State, and ii, too, would
be Republican, and would ratify. Divide
California into two States, and the new one
would also be Republican, aud would ratify.
1t is now thought that we can carry either
Maryland or Missouri, or perhaps both, and
so secure their votes. BY following out this
policy we can pile up enough votes to make
the amendment part of the Constitution.
We could greatly prefer that the reorgan-
lied States should ratify the amendment,
and thus put an end to the trouble; but it
will be seen that if they refuse we can still
succeed without them. AT one time Presi-
dent Lincoln contemplated pursuing this
policy TO secure the ratification of the anti
slavery amendment, and it was in following
up this idea that Nevada and West Virginia
were admitted as States, and the recognized
States of Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and
Louisiana, were recognized at Washington.
The same objection used against the present
amendment, that it must fail because the
south will not accept it, was constantly used
| then against the anti-slavery amendment
But the Republicans adhered to it and sue
ceeded. We must now fall back upon the
same policy, and show these rebel States
that their opposition is totally useless, ds is
also their trust in the President. We hope
to see the statesmen of the south display {
better temper than the President, and enc
the trouble by securing from their States the
ratification OF the amendment, the more es
pecially as a little reflection will show then
that the policy we have indicated wout
render their choice of no consequence.

NOBLE SENTIMENTS.

On the I'd inst. DANIEL DoUaHERTY,
Esq, of Philadelphia, at an Immense meet
ing of the people, held in the Academy of
Music, IN that city, delivered a powerful
and eloquent address, which he concluded
in the following noble and thrilling remarks:
"On resuming their seats, our peers in
power and masters in intrigue, aided by
Northern allies, will repeal the test oath,
abolish the pensions to the widows and Or
phans of the war, repudiate the national
debt, and take from the archives and erase
from the records every vestige of their in
fanny. They will tear down the pictures and
tumble over the marble statutes OF the heroes
whose bright swords led our legions to vic
tory. They will reaffirm in State resolves
and in national conventions and enroll in
laws the doctrine of secession. Breckenridge
may again preside in the Senate, and Cobb
and Thompson rule in the Cabinet Lee
may command the army he betrayed, and
Semmes walk the quarterback under the
flag that he roved the seas to destroy. Sooner
OF later the fires of civil war will be again
ignited, and the days of human progress be
no more.
"After all the sacrifices of this generation,
shall this be our doom? Just as the world is
beginning to recognize the stability and
blessings of republicanism, just as the world
is beginning to recognize the stability and
blessings of republicanism, Just as the mil
lions of Europe are rising, shall the American
people, false to their duty and 10 Heavens
behest, fail, and be driven forever from the
paradise of political liberty?
"Aye, a bloodier vision rushes red upon
my sight. If we fail in the pproaching
elections, and our Northern oppt lnents gain
sufficient TO form with the South d. majority,
the traitors who have access to the. President
will goad him on to make good the threat to
recognize the Representatives and Senators
of the Southern States, with their Northern
allies, as the Congress of the United States.
This will be the signal of a war, not alone in
the capital, but in eUery Northern citE, house
with house and friend with friend, ending
with anarchy and massacre.
"Ohl then, my countrymen, ing away all
meaner thoughts, and rise to the attitude of
the nations peril Obi for the sake of the
dead, who died that America might live; for
the sake of the widows and orphans of the
slain, who, on their knees, i'm plored YOU not
10 desert them in their lonely poverty; by all
the incentives that can inspire patriotic ac.
ton in noble minds-rise and rescue your
country as she shrieks for help. This is tht
final struggle. If we conquer no,o, the Re
public from her ten Thousand hills will ne
vertebrate with the sho uts of Joy that n
verify and truth treason is at an end, rebel.
lion crushed, slavery dead, the Union pre-.
served, and liberty triumphant"

MIR. 5oHNsoNs uNTRuTHFuLNEss.

Mr. John Sherman brother to General
Sherman, and United States Senator from
Ohio, in recent speech at his home, made
statements which show up the character OIL
President johnson in most unenviable
light, and prove that he is quite as untrue tC
promises privately given, as to his solemn
public pledges.
Mr.. Johnson told Senator Sherman that he
desired the election OF the Republican ticket
in Connecticut. The Senator stated that
fact in public address at Hartford. A week
afterward, the President was using the
patronage OF the Administration for the bene-
flt of Mr.. English, Copperhead candidate for
Governor
Mr.. Johnson assured Senator Sherman
that he was in favor of the Civil Rights bill.
He permitted this assurance TO be made
known to other members of Congress. Yet
the passage of this bill was Immediately fol
lowed by the announcement of an intention
to veto it, and by the charge thatit enactment
was an insult to the President and an evi-
dence of hostility.
Mr.. johnson said to Senator Sherman that
he would sanction and urge, with all his
power, any amendment to the Constitution
which did not embody negro suffrage. But
when Congress passed an amendment in
which that principle was not contained, he
went out Of his way to assail it, and to in
cense the minds of his Southern people
against it.
In his speeches during the tour from Wash
ington to st. Louis, Mr. johnson repeatedly
asked "What promises have ] broken?
what pledge have / violated?n Senator
Sherman puts these facts, which convict
him of deliberate ialsehood, on record, as
the sufficient answer to such queries No
one who knows John Sherman, will for one
moment doubt the absolute truth ofhis state
ments.
What confidence can be placed in a man
who will thus retrace his public record,
abandon the principles to which he stands
committed by the most solemn recorded
obligations, and disregared his own plighted
word, voluntarily givenG History furnishes,
in all its manifold epitomes of human weak
ness and folly, no adequate parallel for the
political treachery and tergiyersatlon OF An
drew johnson.
MIR. Sherman has always been distinguished
for the genuine conversation and moderation
of his views. He now announces himself in
favorof offering the amendment to the South,
as the most liberal basis upon which the Ma
tion will consent to reorganization, and in
viting the delinquent States to return with
this liberal condition. If they refuse and
are still stiff-necked and arrogant, he thinks
the safety of the Union demands that the
State Governments should be reorganized
from the foundation-and in such an emer-
gency, he would insist upon negro suffrage
as the only adequate counterpoise 10 mis-
chievous Rebel sentiment.

THE JOHNSON WIGWAM CONVEN-
TION, AUGUST IA, 1890.

From Massachusetts, came changing Couch;
South Carolina sent certain Orr;
Said Couch and Orr spoke not, but did so
much
Inside tue Wigwam, that some people saw
The tears they could from politicians draw
The dough-iaced salve to heal a rebels flaw,
And Union-sugared pills, traitors man,
While armin-arm they bill and coo "My
Policy as law.
RESPONSE.
Now Yankee doodle, keep it up, be tender,
kind and handy,
Let North and South in me repOse, am
your loving Andy.

Thus, politicians wept but next they cry
Thatmen who led rebellion, treason, crime,
Shall now have equal power, and stand as
high
AS those who through the contest stood
sublime,
Who labored, suffered, conquered, for all
time,
To have our land, light to every cline,
And bells of freedom, ring their constant
chime.
The first is in "MY Policy" the last they
put in time,

To take from Congress what is theirs to do,
And vest it all in one man, who, It's plain,

gain;
Then moves from office all true patriot men,
To put in only those who sing his strain;
Then tours, electioneerinb every train,
Prove, Just SO far as he can swear, "My
Policy" must reign.
RESPONSE
And now, Rump- Congress, you refuse, "My
Policy so handy,
Ye hangers on the verge of power, change
not, 81 am Andy"
When Wigwam tears and music ceased to
flow,
With work prepared, the leaders saw them
sway;
Secured deep hush, and found their plan
could go;
Read our resolves and their address
straighway,
Passed all right through, adjourned without

said to Raymond, now keep up strong
heart and Frightening ray;
He said, Friend Doolittle, speak loud, and
almost every day;
With courage almost screwed high up and
braced, they sing there's no dismay,
Our whistle is MY Policy, just harkl and

A Report that there is to be an Immediate

A Paris letter of the 18th ult. says:-"In

already despatched Gen. de Castelnan, his
aid-de- camp, to Macmillan, sent him an or

where his instructions were TO be revised and
modified. Marshal Random, the Minister of
War, was present at this interview, which,
am assured, was of the most important char
acter. According to a version generally ac-
cepted, based, l understand, not merely upon
the critical condition OF affairs in Mexico,
but also upon the firmness of attitude recent
" assumed by the Cabinet of Washington,
the intention Of the French Government is
TO br;ug about speedy settlement OF the
Mexican question, so as TO get rid, as soon as
possible, OF perpetual subject OF solicitude
and annoyance.
