ANDREW JOHNSON AND THE RADI.
GALS.

When they nominated him for vice president
the republicans knew very we'll that Andrew
johnson had always denounced the northern
as we'll 40 the southern extremists, and tina,
he had contended warmly for tho constitu
tional rights of the south against the aggres
sions of northern legislation prompted by the
influence of the political sbolitionisss. They
knew that he had repeatedly spoken sgains,
the course of the northern abolitionists in az
strong and earnest Language as he had
against the conduct of southern Shareholders.
As late as February. 1861, after South Caro-.
lima had led off in secession, in one of his
speeches commenting upon the quarrel In
which the republican leaders in Massaohu-
sets and the secession leaders in South Caro-
lima had been among the foremost in bring
ing about, he gave utterance to the following
language:
81 have sometimes thought that it would be a
comfort if Massachusetts and South Carolina
could be chained together as the Siamese twins,
separated from the continent, and taken out to
some remote and secluded part of the ocean, and
there fast anchored, to be washed by the waves,
and to be cooled by the winds and after they
had been kept there a sufficient length OF time,
the people of the Emitted States might entertain
the proposition of taking them back"

A CoPPERHEAD DEFINITION or PArR,-
oTlaa.-Mr. Voorhees,, in his late speech,
expressed the sentiment that patriotism
10 the lest refuge Of scoundrel. That
seems to be the principle upon which
his political career has been based. As
patriotism was, in bis estimation, equiv.
alsnt to scoundrelism, be has taken good
care to protect himself from suspicion
of having q particle of that quality
This accounts for bis attachment to the
cause Of the rebellion, and for the warm
interest he took ia the traitorous oat j.
bound associations which, under differ.
ent names, were organised in indians
for the purpose of aiding the Southern
rebels. Had the joint enterprises sue
ceeded, Voorhees, would have been 9
