The Nations disgrace.

-rp What "a spectacle for tlle eyes OF Eu-
rope! The President Of tie United states
3 wildly haranguing IL drunken mob, and
fscetiously joking with traitors and muir
derprs.. What sublime spectacle! How
well becoming Tire time. the plnce and the
speaker. When, i'm compliment 10 the
few loyalists OF the South, the poor do.piS-
cd white, Andrew johnson. was placed i'm
position Ct hfNor, Ivy the loyal people OF
the North When. through the power OF
the Influence of the name of Lincoln, he
w:.s elected To the high position of Vic"
. President OF the United States, who among
~ tina, helped him to that high position.
Mad we Leen permitted II glimpse ofthe flu
ture, had We had but All inkling of the
deep, the danna BILE disgace he a'as To
bring upon tue country, hinaself and his
party. but would have cut off his right
hand rather thar 1t should have deposited
a ballot in his favor. Low fervently we
prayed that the all wise Being sssight spare
the life of our noble Lincoln, when, during
the csreiuony, OF inaugumtion, Johns''n
ftsst brought disgrace upon the country
and his. position. Heart sick and despoh-
ding, the people hoped, almost against
hope, when rebel bullet called Mf. Jotla-,
.on to the Presidency thsa lie would be
equal to 5lse stern demands ofthe hour.
Iikgdrowning men we caught at straws,
and every phrase of his many hopeful and
high sounding speeches in response to del
egations from all parts Of the country Of
fering him sympathy and assistance, was
treasured up. We hoped he would ba true
to his promises, his country, his party and
himself. True to humanity and liberty.
That, through him, treason might indeed
be made Odious and traitors get their just
deserts. We hoped slavery might be wip-
ed ont. and all its hateful prosecutions
spirit. We even looked upon his eleNH-
ton to LincOlMs place, i'll the light OF Il
Divine dixpensation upon he South. We
feared Lincoln's lcniancy and trusted
JohnsOn's supposed STERN sense OF duty.
But, Oh God! upon what Il broken reed
have We leaned. How have our hopes
been blasted, withered, one by one, until
. now not one hope remains for the saliva
ton Of the country. Yes, two, thank God,
the people and Congress, that Congress,
the mem ers of which, this maudlin Pres
ident OF Il Continent, denounced rs traitors
10 a drunken mob in the Capitol of the
greatest country of earth. From hedeep-
est depths of our inner heart, we are thank
ful TOR that noble. body Of men yet left in
the country, who dare to do right despite
the President and his copperhead supper
ters; despite the OBJECTIONS of a few trim
ners and favor seekers Of the Republican
party. In Congress and the virtue OF the
people lies the safety Of the Republic in
this trying time.
