IW In the Presidents response to
Reverdy Johnsons' report of the
Philadelphia Convention, lie spoke
of Congress as "body assuming to
be the Congress" of the United
States. Upon this topic the Cincin
natl Commercial justly and forcibly
remarks: "Among all the inconsis-
tancies of the President, none is
more fragrant than that displayed in
his assumption that the Congress,
whose laws he had been signing and
executing is not the legal national
law-making power. If Congress is
a "rump," so is he. II it is not "the
Congress" of the Constitution, he is
not the President. After signing
acts and resolutions passed by Con
gress by the score, it is too late for
him to quarrel with its authority
without stultifying himself.

guage:
"Indeed it is not too much to re-

petual loyalty and peace
Now, when Congress, acting in
obedience to his recommendations,
ask for these evidences and pledges
of security in the future maintainance
of the Union, then ''it is a rebellion

Congress becomes a ''rump." What

e Horace GreeIer gires utter.

EE Horace Greeley gives utter
ance to the following truthful senti-
ment:
'.For sixty years. the policy OF
of estopping secession by immoral
concessions to unrepublican ideas
and interests has been tried to the
utmost. The assumption that the
Union is boon conferred by the
South on the North, TO be counter
poised by prostrations and genu-
fiexions. is at the bottom of all our
woes Let us be done with ii now
and for eyer,'
Fruer words were never spoken
For half century. the South,
though inferior to the North IN
population and wealth, has coatroll-
ell and administered the general
government in the interests of
slavery, simply because by threats
of disunion and civil war she was
able to intimidate and influence the
votes of Northern mea. Force. not
ideas, ruled the country. In 1860,
in the election of President Lincoln.
the North for the first time threw oil
the yoke of Southern influence, an
appeal to arms followed, and upon
the field of battle the free men OF the
North gloriously vindicated the
great principles upon which our
government is bssed-the right of the
majority to rule We had hoped,
tina: the result of that contest had
settled this question forever. But
the fact seems to be otherwise
The old policy of intimidation is re
inaugurated. The South, backed hy
the copperhead party OF the North
and countenanced ty the President,
seeks again to control the indepen-
dent action of the Northern people
at the ballot box. We are threaten
ed with another civil war. if we dare
return to Congress the men who now
represent us in that body Wade,
Shermsn, Scheuck, Sellabarger. Gar
field, Hays, Eggleston, and host OF
others from this and other States,
whose only fault is, that they low c
loyalty and hate treason, these men
must be ousted to make room for the
supporters of my policy" for men
who will lend willing hand in the
restoration of rebels to complete
control of the general government
We must oust them, say our peace
friends, for otherwise the South will
secede again, will rebel again
we must put these Southern rebels
back in Congress, or we shall have
another war. Gentlemen, that game
is emphatically played out, and the
sooner you and they learn it, the
better for all parties cencerned.-
The voice and will OF the majority
must hereafter rule in this country.
And if the loyal people of the nation
decide at the coming election TO re-
turn loyal representatives to Con-
gress, and SO elect them, they WI
seeto it, that the1meR thus elected
under th- laws zHyi iC~..-tifn,iou cf

cognized throughout the whole

'.Brsad and Butter" VS. Loyalty.


The Presidential gullotine is hard
at work. The heads of loyal office
holders everywhere throughout the
country are falling to make way for
supporters OF "my policy" Each
day of Washington telegram brings
its batch of new appointments-a
postmaster here, q United States
marshal there, and collector or as
SCISSOR in this or that district, goes
under, and a recruit from the 'sBread
and Butter Brigade" takes his place.
The friends of the President an
nounee it to be his avowed and set
tied policy to dismiss from every
Office within his gift every man who
does not support his policy. Loyal
men are te be prescribed for adher-
ing to the very principles upon
which e President himself was
elected. The meR, by whose sup
port and votes he was made Vice
President, are to be replaced by
northern copperheads aud Southern
traitors, whose friend he has lately
become The vast patronage OF the
executive department of the Coy
ernment is to be prostituted TO
build up party in the North pledg
ed to the restoration of rebels to
power and influence. 1t is conflden-
tly anticipated by the President and
his friends, that By judicious distribu-
ton of offices within his gift, votes
enough can be bought up at the
North to give them control of the
next Congress. This change of
ofiice-holders is not made, because
the present incumbentS are dishonest
or incompetent. Nor is it because
they have changed one iota of the
principles they held when appoint
ed. But they are ousted simply be-
cause they refuse TO betray the Union
cause and go over body and soul
to the rebels. They are prescribed,
because the President expects, that
by every new appointment, he will
make given number of votes for
''my policy" 1t is clear matter of
bargsin and sale-a barter of offices
for votes---and what LAY the Uuion
people of the country to this whole
sale slaughter of Union Office hold
ers? Was it for this that you made
Andy Johnson Vice President of the
United States? But let the work go
on. 1t can only bring disgrace upon
the men engaged in it. The true
union men OF the country can neither
be lntimidated by threats, nor bribed
by Office, into the support of Copper
heads and treason. This fact the
coming October election will fully
demonstrate

marks that OOngresxsv-srps--aa au-
thcrity-to which neither North nor

World urges that the South shall
make 3 demand for representation,
and il not granted, the Executive
shall enforce it.
This Incorporate language is cal
culated TO provoke serious trouble
The President, however much he af-
fects TO he independent of external
influences, has shown himself to DO
weak ut the very point where he Hat
ters himself he is strong, and easily
influenced by those who subscribe

they must be cautious how they prick

to dissolve 1t in so far as such dee

H McFARLAND, Of the Ports
mouth Tribune, says: 'As Revenue
Assessor of the Eleventh District, we
haye from one to three assistants in
each county, and since taking our
position in support of Congress, and
in opposition to the President, We
have had numerous expressions from
them in relation TO the probability Of
an early dismissal from the service.
No one of these gentlemen have yet
filtered in their support Of our
course, or shown any disposition to
allow themselves to be Johnsonized
for the sake of retaining the office.
The following note from one of them,
accompanied business letter few
days since, and is golden specimen
of how the johnson movement is re-
garded by the intelligent soldiers,
who were honest in their endeavors
to put down the rebellion, and are
still hones5 in denying rebels the
right to come In and assume control
Of the government they tried so hard
to destroy. We recommend every
Johnsonite to read this short and
pithy epistle from man who can't
be bought by a paltry Office
81 shall be sorry to hear of your
removal, and shall cheerfully follow
you, Moagk 1t be on quarter rotions. /
would starve rather than seem to af-
fliate with the men who are Mr..
Johnson's supporters in this county
rank copperheads and traitors as
they are, and have been since the
commencement of the rebellion. The
rebe; whose ball shattered my arm at
Vicksburg may be entitled TO some
respect but those men who denounc-
ed the late struggle as "a nigger
war;" and Union soldiers as Lincoln
hirelings," can never be my politi
cal associates. There are no Union
men here who follow the johnson
machine"
We are not sure who wrote these
brave words, but we think we recog-
nize in them the invincible IHtenisn
of Major GRAYUM, the efficient and
worthy deputy Assessor for this
county. We suppose, however,
though he has shattered arm, made
so by rebel bullet, he will have to
give place to seme rebel sympathiser
to some one. who, during the war,
instead of being at the front, as the
Major was, battling for his Govern
ment and the Constitution, was at
home organizing knights of the
Golden Circle" or ''Sons ofLiberty,'
in speeches and resolutions declar
ing ''the war 4 failure"-opposing
the draft, decrying the Government
credit, urging soldiers to desert, &c,
all in aid of traitors and their hellish
work. Is it any wonder, under such
circumstances, that ''my policy"
meets with the detestation and alb
horance Of Union men?

~ The Washington correspon

~ The Washington correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, says:
twill be recollected that immedi
ately after the passage of the Bern-
ty Bill, the Secretary of War appoint
ed Board to decide upon the pro-
per construction of the bill and frame
rules to govern the various Depart
ments in making payments under it,
provided the bill was so drawn as to
warrant payments. 1t now appears
that'th Board has prepared its re-
port setting forth that the law was
explicit, and also presenting all rules
necessary to the various classes of
disbursements under the law. By
direction of the President this report
has been withheld. This suppression
occurred in connection with the Or
der to the Second Auditor, not TO
pay any bounties provided by the
late Congress.
We have always supposed that, if
the South got control of the Govern
ment, through the aid of the Demo
cratic party of the North, the sol
tliers would be denied their bounties,
but we did not suppose Andy John
son would attempt such thing, as
bad as we think he is. We thought
he would keep his word good to the
soldiers at least. But it seems we
were mistaken. The rebels control
even him.
A later dispatch says:
"0r the forty thousand claims for
bounty for discharged soldiers now
lying on file in the Paymaster's De-
psrtment, not one is in accordance
with the forms which will be required
in case it is decided to paw any of
them st present. 1t is only loss
Of time and msney for soldiers to
forward their claims before the off,
cial rules for the collection of them
are published. These rules were
prepared by Gen. Canby's Board,
but were suppressed by the Presi-
dent; and unless the soldiers can ex-
ert public opinion that will force
the Administration to begin the pay
ment of bounties, these dues will be
studiously withheld until after the
fall elections" ~
