ut is evident that we have two Pres

sober. His inaugural address tosthe nation
was delivered under circumstances of beslial
ntoxcation."- San Jose Mercury,
We presume the inaugural address was
the production Of "Andy johnson drunk"
AS the late veto message was very differ.
ept sort of production from the inaugural
it is but fair and logical to class it as the
production of the other President--"An.
drew johnson sober" 1t is gratifying to
the lovers of the Union and Constitution to
know-if we have two Presidente, one
"drunk" and the other "sober"-that the
sober one is devoted TO the best interest o

Satanic Sumner-Stevens consprators 10 their
mad endeavors to trample upon the rights
and liberties of the people and subvert our
glorious Institutions As an humble citi'
zen of the Republic. we congratulate the
people on having "Andrew johnson sober"
at the head of our national affairs; and
knowing him to be man of true grit and

Why THEY RAvE.-Ihe indecent rage ex'
bipited by the dsunionists over the veto OF
the Negro Bureau bill, is partially accounted
for by the following from Washington et'
ter'writer: "But it is not so generally known
that this Bureau, with its limited, not 'en>
arged,' powers, has already peen a powerful
instrument in the disunon obstruction Radi
cal plan to prevent the restoration Of the Un
ion. The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Tribune says that some of the most
interchangeable workers against reconstruct
ton are to be found among the subordinate
officers of the Freedmen Bureau in the
South These are the men who assist Stan
ton in filling up Summers scrapbook. These
are the paid and pestilent fellows who rake the
South over for 'outrages' upon the negroes,
who keep up the cry of 'dsloyal.y' among
the whites, and whose interest it is to repre-,
sent constantly disturbed state of society
in the South, which necessitates a continu
ance Of their situations land salaries), the re-
tention of a large standing army, and an I'M
definite delay in admitting the Representa-
tives of these 'rebellious' people to seats iu

PRIEsrCRAFT-It is commonly supposed
that priestcraft, or, at least. the domination
of the Protestant clergy in temporal affairs,
had long since ceased. But this is mis-
take. A Mr.. Houston, of Mercer county,
Ohio, member of the Mahoning congrega-
ton Of the United Presbyterian Church,
was lately cited to appear before the Presby
terry, to answer the charge of having voted
for Vallandigham as Governor of the State
"a man notorious for disloyalty, and un,
der sentence Of banshment by the Govern
ment." He was found guilty and suspended
from the privileges Of the Church. The
Synod, at his recent session, sustained the
action Of the Presbytery. No stronger ex.
ample than this, would ever be quoted for
the purpose of showing the strength and in
tuence of the clergy in periods of the ut
most intolerance. 1t is refreshing to know,
at this time, when the influence of the cer'
gy is supposed to be waning, that some To-
calites yet exist where they rule in all their
pristine vgor. In all probability the sup.
por,ers of johnson will be the next to fall
under the ban of the Synod of the United
Presbyterian Church at Mahonng And
let not the extremist radical imagine him
self safe from the denunciations of these ar,
bitrary Presbyterians The changes so COM
mon in the political world may find the
clergy the supporters of a party diametrical
ly opposed to him, and then be is as liable
to BE- read out of Church as the unfortunate
Mr.. Houston of Mercer county

Saved! Saved!

1t seems that the country is Tor rather
has been) in great danger from the machin'
aions of Andy johnson, that obdurate and
iuAexible old despot having resolved to set
himse f in opposition to the majority of the
Congress. Such at least is the conviction
of Mr. George c. Gorham, who distinguished
himself during the last Presidential cam.
paign, by writing hippant and saucy "Open
Letters" to Eugene Cassery and other gen
tIemen, who never could be induced to no
tice either the letters or their vivacious and
voIuble writer-Mr. or Master Gorham- for
there is something exceedingly juvenile in the
general character of bis performances; also
holds Federal office in this city-Clerk Of
one Of the U. S Courts or something of that
kind. Well, being strongly impressed with
the dangerous designs Of the President, and
with the urgent necessity that something
gress against their prosecutor, George bares
his puissant arm in defence of that body
In order the more etfectually to thwar, and
demolish the Presidential tyrant, George has
started a powerful AntiJohnson organ, to
be published weekly, and owned and edited
bv George This sheet is entitled THE Frel
american (meaning probably the true Amer.
lean of African descent, for George is the
stauncbest kind of woody 'bead); and in
the first number, which is before US, George
begs for voluntary contributors of money TO
enable him to carry on bis organ and save
the country. But after all it strikes US as
barely possible that George is unnecessarily
alarmed and unreasonably excited. We are
of opinion that there are several other patri'
otto citizens on the coast who will take a
hand 10 saving the country when necessary,
and not throw the whole JOB on to George.
We rather think after all that the country
will "puI through" the present crisis, and
that it would have managed some how to
pull through, even if George had not started

Mr. STEVENS PosIr1oN. = The Phladel'
pbia Ledger thus crushing'y comments on the
position of Thad Stevens which the Radi
Gals endorses: Throughout the whole Of the
late war, when the rebels had entire possession
of from seven to ten States the Government
and the people of the United States main
tanned that these States were still 10 the Un-
ion; now that the war is over and the rebels
have been conquered and their bogus Gov
ernment displaced, it is proposed to consider
those States as out of the Union. This is an
absurd position, and yet it is one which Mr..
Stevens desires 10 put the country in.
