THE AMI

NORTH AND NORTHWEST
If we ever had any apprehension Of a d.
vision Of the Northern people on the great
political issues Of the day, our visit to that
section Of country and two weeks stay
among them, has dispelled every doubt
And this must be the conclusion Of every
candid observer who has had the same OPP
pot,unitiss for forming an opinion. It is a
fact which must be admitted, that the Radi-
cal Union sentiment Of the entire people Of
the North and Northwest surpasses any
thing in the way Of ~intenSe enthusiasm ever
known at any period OF our country's Politi-
cal history. Johnson's effort TO destroy the
Republican party anG build up a Coalition
Copperhead- Conservative Rebel Rscons;ruc-
Observation-Disclosures Johnson party, has
6llled tn. people with intense disgust for
him, and We believe, 10 speak candidly, his
chances for being impeached, tried and hung
are much more favorable to-day than the
hanging OF JEFF. Davis, the chieftain OF the
great Rebellion. Johnson'S treachsry TO the
party that put him in power far surpAsseI
shat OF John Tyler, or any other political
traitor. be has deserted Every principle
upon which no took issue while a candidate
for the Vice Presidency-And this has, in
S,rsd Of dividing, brought the people to-
gsther, and to-day they stand 8 united Mortal
They present a front more formidable than
sac world ever cav, and the coming cleo
lions will bear us out In our assertions.
j. was our pleasure to travel through
sight Of the great Northern States, and We
~9ryvh,rS met the same determined and M
ainching devotion 20 the principles o: the
Radical Union party-and the same utter
contempt expressed AEains. Andy johnson
for his base desertion Of the party WAC made
him the ruler OF the land.
Do not deceive yourself, reader just 80
sure as tbs rebellion, which assumed such
SupenaouS magnitude, was finally crushed
By the gnyielding energy Of this brave and
patriotic people-the people who furnished
she men and the money to drive the power
full mAchiney Of the Grand Armies OF the
Uuited States, just so surs do they intend TO
govern this country. And why should they
ao,1 Did they not purchase it with the
best blood Of their land7 Did they not give
No their sons, fathers and brothers, who
found graves amid the miasmic swAmps Of
this bottled Of treason2 Did they not pour
out their wealth without stint to sustain the
Union soldiers In the field and cheer them
on 10 vietory1 And will they nov, so soou,
yielG the palm Of victory to = discounted
and defeated foe-A foe whose renown for
acts Of barbarity and cruelty has no Paral'
lei in the worlds hiStorV7 Again we warn
you, be not deceived! They rH govern this
eoun,ry-aud II il cannot be done in no 9TH
or and milder way, IL will be ruled with a
rod Of Iron-though all the hendS in Pan
dsmonium rear their venomous heads and
cry out against il. They are united-th'y
are deternined-they mean what they say :
they have a system Of justice marked ont,
and they mean to carry ont that system
Andy johnson, JEFF. Davis, and all the rag
Red rebel hord TO the contrary.
These are plain facts. The signs Of the
time, deciphsr, day by day, the handwriting
upon the wall they tell too plainly the
doom Of A. Johnson and bis nsw.fangled
party. Intelligent men are leaving bis sink
iEg ship BY Thousands aud returning TO the
onion party. It WAS a sharp, cute trick 10
johnson to thus ingraliaie himself by Start
log = new "COmbinaliOn Arrangement" a
any Policy Party" BY which be was to be
made the "Supreme Ruler Of the Universe
but, alas ! poor YOrrieki the cat in the
meal has been discovered, snd such raps as
be is getting over the head ia Amazing! All
NE have to say Is,
