Few presidents Of the United States have had heaped
upon them the abuse, SANDER, and Misrepresentation
OF which Andrew johnson has been the object. The
fury Of lib opponents has carried them beyond the
boundaries OF deccncy. No statement has been too
vile lie too gross, per7ersion too contemplate
for their use his character his motives his measures
and purposes have been assaed with INSCRIPTIONS
and persistency for which it difficult to find

The radicals are busly engaged all over the north
States canyassing for their candidates; they are
doing their BEST "deploying their reserve" SO as to
counterbaance the action OF the Union party--the
"copperhead Johusonians," as they styled all the
members Of the Philadelphia convention. Wendell
Phillips has waived his objections to the constitution
Of the United States and we find in Of our ex-
changes that he spoken Of as the republican eandi-
date to congress for the city of Boston Ben f. But

candidate. They will be elected most assuredly and
WILL probably at once 90 to work to set ont the sehemc
they have been planning, well, and so attentvely.
The following quotation, taken out Of one Of Wendell
Phpss speeches, will give fair idea of their object
and intention. In discussing the necessities OF the
immediate future he went on to say:
Our duty is to put men in congress who will at
every hazard the nation remembering that they
stand where the long parliament stood in 1919 and
though the block and in front of the palace may
be no fitting measure now, they bound to find and

Who will be the Cromwell? Mr. Phillips did not,
say anything about it, bptt is to be supposed that hei
is ambitious for such place III the history Of. his
country.

houses and the said majority be placed in the hands
ofSteyens, Phillips Butler, and consorts they may
