Johnson Endorsed BY Europe.

tylerized President to snow that MY Foil
cv" is endorsed by Europe. Editorials
from the London Times and other English
papers. and extracts from Continental
sneakers and writers, are continually pa
raded before our eyes with great flourish
of trumpets. Be easy, gentlemen! Don't
strain yourselves Well admit, willingly,
gladly admit that Europe is on your side.
We'll admit more Well admit that not
opIv Europe, but every other mondrchleaI,
oliGarchicaL, aristocraticaI and aTTePu6tscan
reSio.. on Gods qreen earth, is arrayed side
by side with the Johnson party. And there
let them stand! If your Democratic Con-
servative eyes are charmed with the pros
pect of every despot, tyrant, monarch'SIi
oIgarch and aristocrat OF the OLD Worla
standing in your ranks-enJoy the prospect,
gentlemen we don't envy you:
II is q notorious and undeniable tact that
every European newspaper that aided and
enconraped the jeff Davis rebellion now
aids and encourages the Andy Johnson re-
belIion. Oh. yes Europe Is with you. 1t
is pestectlv natural that monarchical Eng
land and despotic France should hate true
Republcanism and it is equally as natural
that every man who loved jeff Davis and
his horde of traitors, should love this sham
rebel-conservative Democracy Therefore
it is, gentlemen, that all Europe is with you
Does not the tyrant know his friends from
his foes? Does not the monarchist know
on whom to smile and on whom to trown
Does not the aristOcrat know whom to
praise and whom to denOunce? Yes, gen
tlemen conservatives the voice OF the tyrant,
the monarchist and the aristocrat, Is with
you, the voice Of the. oppressor IN every
land salutes you, but freedom, from her
mountain home, frowns upon you IN scorn-
full indignation, apostates as you are to her
teachings
Americans are you in favor Of the
European party? Beware Of that party
which the monarchists delight to praise and
caress If any one truth is palmer than
any other it is this the very best course
for every true American to follow is to go
directIy oppoSfe to what Europe advises and
approves. Europe hates America. Amer
lea was once the slave Of Europe. Every
master hates every freedman. Hence Eu-
ropes hate for America. The old world IS
| of the past. the new world is Of the future.
| The old world is conservative, and there
| fore fond of stars, carriers and titles OF no
bilitv," of crowns and sCeptres, OF slaves
and disfranchised men. The new world is
progressive. and "holds these truths to be
| self-evident that all men are created equal;
that they are end0red By their Creator with
certain inalienable rights: that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness. and that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, de-
irving their just powers from the consent OF
the g0rerned
How appropriate, then, how becoming, is
it for Europe to endorse the Conservatives
the old world party in the new world =
But there is also new world party in the
old world. That party headed by John
Bright, and striving to put the ballot into
the hands of English working men, is q
new world party. The citizens OF Swift
zerland, the free republic Of the Alps tell
US, in their address to America, that they
too. belong to the new world party. But
the English Liberals and the Swiss Repub-
licans don't endorse Andy Turn-coat the
duondam tailor How is this, gentlemen
Conservatives The John Bright party
and the free Switzers encouraged us to put
down the rebellion, and the London Times
and Paris Moniteur party encouraged you
to put down the United States. The Times
and Moniteur are with you; John Bright's
| Liberals and the Swiss are with us. How
is this gentlemen? Who has changed ?
Have they all changed but y0N? Have the
English tories and French imperialist:
ceased to love rebels, and now love union.
lists? or do tbeg ind rebels IN yoN? Have
the John Bright Liberals and the Swiss Re
publicans ceased to love Unionists and now
love rebels? Or DO they find uaioa.8ts IN rs
All, gentlemen, the truth is too plain. The
lovers Of rebels are rebel-lovers still anC
the lovers Of unionists are union-Iover
still. And who is the rebel and who thu
unionist? Those whom the despots mon.
archists and aristocrats Of Europe praise
land caress, are the rebels. Mr.. Conserva
tive, thou art the man And those whom
the lovers of freedom in Europe praise ant
caress are the true and only unionists.
But death TO disguise Why do you, con
servatives hold the doctrines OF arlstocrats
monarchs, and despots? and why do you re
ioice in the applause Of every hereditar.
foe to Republican America? Are yol
aristocrats at heart? You are! GOl
advise Johnson to usurp all the pow
ers of the government You are tree
OF Republicanism. You are in tavol
of a dictator. You are the Catalines Of tn
present age. You are traitors in sheep
clothing. You are the party Of Europe il
America. You are striving to Europeaniz
our Republic. You are secretly working t.
build up an aristocracy Of wealth, power AM
privilege in our country, You are in tavo
of taking the ballot from the poor whit
man, rather than extending it to all citizens
Then let Europe praise and endorse John
son and the Conservatives. Cog and Ma
