ty proceeds from the same spirit OF self
but the fact of such disa-
is so glazing and apparent
that whoever denies it now is either
pitied for his ignorance or laughed at
for his self deception. Our Republican
friends riva! MARK TAPLEY in their
efforts to.be Jolly" and it must be adj
mitted that the circumstances afford
them an opportunity of coming ont
strong"
But supposiug that between the Pres
ident and the radicals there is no disa-
greement, that ANDREW JOHNSON has
called STEVENS, SUMNER & Co. LEADERS
of new rebellion" merely in a Pick
wickian sense, and without expressing
env detestation of their conduct there
by. Suppose that he still remains true
to the principles of the great Union Of
panization, )" and that all his talk about
the maintenance Of the Constitution
and his devotion to the rights OF the
neonle is mere clap trap, mere humbug'
perfectly understood by the leaders oi
the new rebellion, with whom he has no
disbursement. If this be the case, and
the President is a member in good
standing in the radical disunion party,
what sort of encouragement and appro-
val has he met with from his party
friends Several highly important dec
larations of his wishes and determine,
ton have been recently made public, and
if he still remains true to the princi-
pies of the great Union organization
of course the press Of that organization
will endorse and commend his views
The following, from the Detroit Tribune,
shows how heartily the so-called Union
organization" endorses the President,
and how little is the disagreement be-
tween them
Having by a stretch of power most
dangerous and unprecedented, taken the
whole subject of reconstruction out of
the hands of Congress, where it belongs
having opposed every effort Of Con.
gress to regain rights lphich he had
0suped; having menaced that body
through contrived conversations for pre-
summing to exercise convictions of its
own, he now assumes TO instruct it who

The purport of this message is plain,
1t is defiance of Congress 1t is de
fiance of the popular will expressed
through that body. 1t seeks an occasion
for quarrel, and makes the points of dis,
sent SO broad that only baseness and
treachery can bridge over the chasm.
The President turns his back upon the
men that made him, and throws himself
into the arms Of the South where he
came from The nod of the Southern
aristocrat has turned the head OF his VIC
lent denouncer There is no doubling
that he means worse than he says. We

TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT
This may evince high degree Of bar
mony and complete good feeling he
tween the President and the great
Union organization" bat common peo-
pie who hold no Offices can scarcely see
it in that light
The truth II mat even here the news
paper organ of the radical party,
although bound by ties of personal in
terest to support The President, has not
given him one word of houesr and manly
encouragement moi a line of free and
hearty commendatinn In these days OF
stern trial for the republlc; when fac
ton in Congress has assumed power to
violate the constitution; to deny repre-
sentatiou to eleven States; to establish
over all the nation an Odious,
expensive, aud despotic government
whose powers reside in The agents of

The President has ho!dly come forth as
the champion Of the constitution and of
popular liberty and has appealed to lie
people Tor support but here as else
where the members. of the great Union
have withheld from him
their sympathy and uttered no earnest

best that has been done even by those

patronage has been to
