The Hatterers and aunkies that flutter about
A. johnson find that nothing pleases him 50
much as to be told TINT he Is asecoud Andrew
jackson that he Is following In the footsteps
Of Old Hickory In his yetoes and 4uazrels
with Congress. The New York Herald soft
soaps His Accldency after this lying fashion:
"Out Of this rebellion and frum Tennessee Ne

It's said that johnson swallows this sort
Of hattery as greedEy as young robins gn1p
down WORMS, and really imagines himself a
81 disciple and a representative Of Andrew
Jackson" One would think that 1t should
occur to Mr, johnson That Jackson was a
Democrat, aud never betrayed his party. His
yetoes OF WMg measures were sustained by
the then powerful, young and enthusiastic
party. The "untcr1iacd Democracy" was at
Ills back, cheering him on, and holding up his
hands. jackson was as true to the party to
whom he owed his elevation to the Pres1den-
cy, as the needle to the pole. From his first
entrance into public life until the day Of hts
death, lie adhered 10 that party and 1t to him.
They were indissoluble. Ills: influence over
that party was remarkable, and It's influence
over him complete. When Jackson struck
a bill with his veto and sbivered 1t,
q million mud half Of Democrats stood ut
his back to support and applaud the act.
And If any member Of his party demurrea or
the party ground him to powder or
drummed him out of their ranks.

publican party approve and support his poll

hands OF the Republican party. Is be lighting

toipg bills passed by Copperheads and cx-rcb-
elsg Are they opposing his policy Of recon-
structions No. On the contrary, 1t Is Ills
own party with whom be Is quarrelline. It
is the measures of his own party which lie Is
vetoing. It IL the Copperheads aud cx-rebels
who support and applaud him. lie Is pursu.
ing a course exactly opposite to that pursued
hy jackson. Old Hickory would 1ather have
been burnt at the stake than have been gull
~ oftrcason to his party. johnson can Ind
no precedent in Jackson's carcer for his
trcachery and apostacT. John Tyler Is his
example and prototype; and the niamy Of
