Ohio, on Monday last, that President
johnson told him, with his own
mouth" that he (Johnson) never had
deserted the Union party; s'that Re
"publicans knew it, and had only pnt
"him on their ticket to make possible a,
doubtful election"
We believe that somewhat similar
revelation was made by one John Tyler
after his accidental accession to the
Presidency, to the effect that he had
never belonged to the Wings but had
been put On'their ticket for the sake of
success. The Whig.party were sorefy
disappointed and tried by the
treachery of Tyler, but they had the
satisfaction of seeing eternal justice
INDICATED in the universal contempt of
all parties with which John Tyler clos.
ed his administration. The Democrats
rejoiced'over his treachery, of course,
while they despised, as all men must,
the traitor. They never named him at
Baltimore for a reelection in 1874. Not
even complimentary ballot was given
him. So will 1t be if history is true to
herself, as we are told she is. with An
drew Johnson in 1865. Those who now
receive the treaehery, and affect to hon
or it, secretly despise the man. BY and
by, as his end draws near, and as place
and patronage fade from his gin, we
shall begin to see anew the opinions
that were expressed about him just be-
fore and just after his election to the
Vice Presidency. Perhaps we shall
even see the following editorial opinion
re-appear in the columns of the rebel
sheet in this city from under the hand
of the reputed postmaster:
"Johnson drunk is but johnson sober
with the mask on, at heart a boastful,
lOw-bred, ume-serving braggart; a
brutal, tyrannical pimP of power"
And it may be in addition to the
above from the editor OF the rebel sheet
here, that the editor of the New York
World will reproduce his opinion as ut
tered in his Copperhead sheet just after
the 4th of March, 1865. That opinion
hardly exceeds in virulency that of
Mr.. JohnsOn's appointee here, but is
much more scholarly and genteelly
put. 1t will be remembered as follows:

of a Consular office that in former
times had been filled by the greatest
warriors and statesmen of the Repub-
lie, the Scipios and CatoS, and by the
mighty Julius himself. The Consul
ship was scarcely more disgraced by
that scandalOus transaction than is our
Xice-P Presidency by the late election IF
Andrew Johnson. That Office has been
adorned in better days by the talents
and accomplishments of Adams and
Jefferson, Clinton and Gerry, Calhoun

We do not presume that the mere fact
that Mr.. Johnson has changed his poll
teal professions has altered the opinion
OF the reputed Postmaster here, nor of
such editors as the New York World,
as to Mr.. Johnson's private character.
They doubtless still feel all their ex-
pressed contempt and disgust that
such man should have ever
been elected to the Vice-Presidency.
The editor of the rebel sheet here, we
presume, still regards him as a low
bred, tyraunical pimp of power" al
though he has not said so for some time.
sun, as thepoor unfortunatevice Presi-
dent was '.Iow-bred" on the 4th March,
1866, and so utterly without the instincts
OF gentleman when in his cups on
that occasion, as his appolntee here
says he was, we presume that his Access
sion to the Presidency has not enabled
him to be "bOrn again" and become
high bred, nor endowed him with those
instincts Of gentleman which his APP
pointee says were so utterly wanting
in him as a Vice President. $500.
The editor of the rebel sheet here has
once or twice expressed his astonish-
ment, II we remember Alright, that per-
sons who differ from the President
should think Of holding office under
him. If that Is a matter of astonish-
ment to him what should he think of
any one who seeks and accepts Office
under a President whom as Vice Presi-
dent the self same seeker and acceptor

We fear as regards the instincts of
gentlemen many people will begin TO
think that the giver OF gifts and the
seeker and aceeptor OF them under
such circumstances are spar aobiIs

fellows well met and exactly suited to
each other.
We only adduce however tine cases
above cited to point the general idea
with which we SET out in this article,
which was to show the distance the
President had to go Ia the work Of en-
bracing and conuiliating those who like
Vallandigha the editor OF the World,
and the editor OF the rebel sheet here,
had heaped upon him the most oppro-
bious epithets the Language could af-

to have been in fellowship with the
Union party; never to have been any
