US faithfully and ably, and has been
unflinching in his opposition to the dis
graceful policy of the President. Let
w give him such a reception a. he de-
serves. Let us show the "Bread-and-
Butter Brigade" that there il in Cedar,
an overwhelming power that will not
submit to the dictation of treason.

After the adjournment Of the Phila-
delphia Convention, the committee APP
pointed to wait upon His Serene High
ness, the President, and present him
with copy of the proceedings, perform
ed that farcical duty OH the 18th inst 1t
is well understood that the only object
Of such visitation was to give the Pres
ident an opportunity to unburden him
self Of another speech, and make anoth-
er Drag about Andrew johnson. s..
After the committee had arranged
themselves in front of the President In
the shape Of a new moon, and the dele
gates had filed into the room, he opened
his mouth and spoke to that motley as
sembIy, including rebel officers, as fol-
lows: ... a s~zr " a#e7 s.sm
Language is inadequate to express
the emotions and feelings produced by
this occasion. Perhaps could express
more by permitting silence to speak, and
you to Infer what ought to say. con-
fe@ that notwithstanding the expert
ence have had in public life, and the
audiences / have addressed, this occa-
sion, and. this assemblage are well calcu-
lated to, and do, ovcrwhelm me-"
Yen: permit them to infer what he
'Oaght to say! And does he claim that
he does not grant all their wishes when
he 'leavcs them to infer what he ought
TO say" In speaking Of the Massachu-
;setts and South Carolina delegations
marching into the Convention together,
he worked himself into a very high
state of Mellowness, and went into the
following briny delineation: /
"seemingly partook of the inspira-
ton that prevailed in the Convention,
when l received dispatch, by two of
in terms the scene which has just been
described of South Carolina and Massa-
chusetts arm and arm walking into the
vast assemblage, and thus giving evil
dence that the extremes had come to-
gether, and that for the future they were
united, as they had been in the past on
the preservation Of the Union. When
the dispatch informed me that in that
vast body Of men, distinguished for in
tellect and wisdom. every eye was suf-
fused with tears on beholding the scene,
could not finish reading the dispatch
to an associate with me in the Office, for
my feelings overcame me.'
When men who hate treason reflect
that those South Carolina delegates
planned, for twenty years, and fought
for four years to destroy the Govern
n1ent, and that some Of those Massachu
sets delegates helped them to plan, ant
encouraged them to fight, it is difficult
to comprehend how the President works
himself into such lachrymose feelings
over the idea that these delegates were
to be united in the future las they had
been In the past ON the preservation q
the UniOn." Mr. johnson was not SO
affected when the rebels whipped his
wife, who taught him to read. He did
not cry when President Lincoln was
murdered. He did not waste his tears
over the murder of Union men at Mem
phis and New Orleans.
In speaking of Congress, he encourag.

"rhere is on the verge of the Govern.
lnent, as it were, a body which assumed
to be the Congress of the United States
but, In fact, a Congress of only part OF
