AN OUTsroKFN CorrEgllEAD Nearly
every so,called Democratic paper in tins
State hesitates to declare the principles
of its party, but in some other States the
Copperheal organs are less prudent, and
speak out in meeting with an utter dis
regard Consequences. The New York
Ereeman'S Journali, one Of these out
spoken journals. That paper does not
like the admiration of the President in
which some Democrats indulge; it
thinks its party ls being continually
cheated by Mr., Seward and by the
friends OF President johnson, and calls
upon the Democracy to be careful and
not be deceived any longer by the non.
senSical talk about "a nav party on the
basis of my policy With regard to
the President himself, the JouaaI thus
frankly expresses itself:
Now, being an honest man, VIC will
say blnntly, that for Andrew Johnson,
personally, we care not, as respects this
world, one constitutional damn We
have no respect tor hlm, and never ex-
pee; to have any. Were he to he de-
clarcd President for life Of the United
States, we would refuse to shake hands
with hlm except he could in SOME mars
velous manner, purge himself OF the
completely in the murder of Mrs Surrajt,
Wirz, and various other innocent peo-
pie. But with all that, if he so showed
himself, as that there was a reasonable
prospect that. hencpfDrlh, he would adj
minister the q pvrrn nenL of the United
States in manner advantageous to the
common interests Of AL the States, we
woull work for his election rs President
in 1858, and again in 1872, and again in
1876. if he desired it at that period"
No donbt this is about the average
honest feeling OF the Copperheads OF this
State who are pretending to be Andrew
Johnson's friends.

ANOTHER CONVENTION CALLED.

ANOTltEk CONVENTION CALLED.
TIE Randall Doolit,le Convention is
abont to meet with opposition where
least anticipated. Gov. A. ]. Hamil>
ton, the leader of the cxlled and persecu.
ted Unionists of the war, has issued q
counter-call tor a Convention ofthose
who have suffered from the policy which
has its most cordial Endorsement from
their former enemies and tyrants. lie
regards the Convention which is to meet
in Philadelphia as another rebel invasion
of The North. We d. not doubt that
able and honest numbers will be found
to answer his call. Then We shall be
assured which voice has the most certain
sound.

WASHINGTON, Thursday, July 18th,
ls56.--It is now positively ascertained
that Postnasler-General Dennison yes>
teriay rendered the resignation of his
office to the President. This was done
in writing. The reasen for this course,
as stated by Mr.. Dnnison>himself. is a
difference of political views. 1t will lie
rpcolected that he was President of the
Unlor Republican Convention which
nominated Mr.. Lincoln for the Presi-
dency. Never inten ling otherwise than
to adhere TO the party whose principles
it represented. and as the call for the
National Convention at Philadelphia is
in an,agonism to that organization, there
was no other course LETT to him than to
retire from the Cabinet while his per-
sonal relations with the President are
undisturbcd and friendly, The sepera,
ton is entirely because Of conflict of
political views.
A number of Ohio .Congressmen
called on Gov. Dsnnison yesterday, and
had an exceedingly pleasant interview
with him. lie read to them his letter of
resignation, the substance OF which is
that he is n Union man and a member
of the Union party, that he Endorses
the Constitutional Amendment, and
cannot remain Cabinet officer in the
Cabinet OF an Executive opposed to that
amendment. He will leave for Ohio
next week to take the stump for the
Union party.
There will be a meeting of the Cabinet
to>morrow. 1t promises to be a very
exciting one, as the proceedings Of the
recent caucus OF Republicans will be
discussed The veto Of the new Freed

THE RECORD OF THE DEMOCRATIC"
PARTY.

IARl L.
We never read one Of the numerous
complaints which appear IN the so called
Democratic newspapers about the bur-
then OF our public debt and the conse-
qusnt heavy taxation without being re>
minded of the fact that the Democratic
party is responsible for the rebellion and
whatever evils followed in its track.
Every dollar of our national debt was
expended IN suppressing the rebellion
inaugurated by the Southern Democrats,
and connived at and sympathized with
by their Northern allies Of the same par~
ty. This accounts FIR their desire to re
pudiate the debt, interest and principal,
and at the same time explains Il secret
of their constant complaint about "hcaYy
taxation A Western orator tells the
truth, in his own way, in the following
extract
Let Democratic journals and orators
howl over the debt and taxes their war
has brought They but magnify their
owm'sins, Every dollar OF debt is a
Democratic legacy Every tax is a
Democratic gift Every Government
stamp is Democratic s,ickmg>plas,er.
Every person in the United States drinks
Democracy in his tea, his coffee, and his
whlskey, and In the sugar wherewilh he
swectens them, Each ingredient pays
nsquota for the cost of Democracy to
the country. The smoker inhales Dem>
ocacy The sick man is phys'ced with
Democracy. The laboring man gives
aOont one hours labor every day to pay
Tor Democracy The capitalist pays
one'te .th of his Income for the cost of
the Democratic party Every transfer

d, ceased leaves behind, must 60 into

The House was crowded yesterday, 10th
foor ana galleries. in anticipation of actionupon
the vetoed Civil Rights Bill. The Senate was
leftalu,ost without quorum from the number
Of members Of that body gone over to the
House wing. It was evidently tie radics pro-
glamme to choke off debate BY applying the
previous question, and accordingly, at the first
opening Mr. Wilson, Of Iowa made that no.
ton. The parliamentary tactics adopted by
the opponents of the bill failed tn throw off
the incumbus Of the previous question. and at
haf-past three p. H., final vote Was taken on
the passage of the bill, the objections II the
President to the contrary Notwithstanding, re-
sul;ing, in ayes l22, nays A. The majority is
very largely above the requisite two thirds, Goa

having passed both Houses Of Congress over

vote, the cheering lasting some minutes. and
