These Doing the men who represented the
party OF ANDREW Johnson, what was 1t that they
proposeH TO do? To re-enslave the blacks; 10
prevent any advance of free labor; to resume
their place in Congress; to regain their former
power; 10 replenish their rockets; TO recuperate
their strength; and this they proposed TO do, in
coalition with the Copperhead party OF the
North, In a Congress which shall ignore the one
rightly elected by the people.
They will coalesce with the President, and go

this, they will succeed in plunging the country

On the 18th of last July Mr. Blair said if Con-
eress persisted in its determination to eXcluIe
the Southern States from repre- entatlon, 1t IL
persisted in shutting out their Senators and Re-
Iresentatlves. that their Mort Iern friends would
coalesce with them, and the result would be two
Congresses and two Presidents-one recognized
bv the Constitution, the other by the radicals;
that the result would be war; war not carried
on IN the South alone, but begun in the North,
and sweeping across Pennsylvania and Massa-
chueetts. What does the South say TO this plan
On the 18th OF July the Richmond Wh1g called
for a proclamation Of the President, announcing
that the South has the right OF representation,
and that Congress could not deny them their
representation If they were elected in accordance
with the laws.
1t Is needless and useless to sum up the vul-
gar, disgusting, and infamous aouse, vtupera'
ton and hatred heaped upon the representa-
tives of the people in Congress. 1t is useless,
think, 10 repeat the contempt and o1lum that
have been caCt upon them By the man who has
called Congress set OF radical hounds, pack
OF usurpers, tyrants, aud slanderers. These
titles have been so oft repeated, that our hearts,
stunned by the sound, fail TO grasp their enor-
nifty, their ialsehood, in Their oit-tme rcpe
titOn.
Not content with calling the lawfully elected
Senators and representatives OF the United
States usulpers, he goes on to announce that
they are endeavoring 10 break up the Govern
ment; that, in shutting out the South they are
making themselves otiiCious: that they are par
tSans, who have no respect tor the Constitution
OF their country; that their present course, it
persisted in, will terminate in the establishment
OF despotism, and finally OF monarchy; that
they have the power to forward the restoration
and harmony OF the Union but will not use il.
But Congress, tell YOU, IS endeavorng to per-
petuate this Union, that its destruction may not
be inevitable.
And now that these acts of theirs are doubly
ooious and hateful, what are the enunCiations
OF men standing on the verge OF the Govern
ment? To what does all this tend? II Andrew
johnson succeeds in making the country believe
that our Congress Is set OF tyrants, traitors,
and usurpers, ne VIII tell the people that it ls
his duty as PresIdent TO recognize another Con-
Sress in Its place. He goes iurther than this

and destruction of the people. 1, Andre,1 John.

Now he boasts of his devotion to the people in
n1As., H..
has the power to do SO. He announces that
Congress is usurping the most unheard-of
powers; that Congress is Ignoring his rights and
very existence, and is endeavoring TO make him
a Dictator: and that they have refused to recog-
nize even his legal authority as President. Con.
sistency-has il not somewhere been said that
thou art jewel? Where there is tyrant, there
must be slaves. We are not yet ready to bear
his name in our toreheads, nor TO wear his
chains on our limbs! applause, and cries OF

Henry A. WISE has said that he desired no par
don, that he had committed no crime that he
had simply obeyed the commands of those
whose right it was to give them.
The newspapers of the South that have reached
us since the I4th of August have repudated the
declarations set forth in the resolutions and
address then and there Issued. They deny that
the South has been in rebellion; that they stand
as Rebels; claiming that they fought in SELF
defense; that the national Government had no
r,ght TO interfere with Them. They declare that
the failure to secede was but a failure TO sue
