Roass;eau's Speech.

made not long since by Gen. Rousseau
of Kentucky in the House Of Representa-
tives. and which was so severely handled
by Mr.. 5rinnell: -. ''''',''''

T" Plain People"

r From the Albany Journal.
Anewspsper correspondent reports that
while at the White House recently, in a
conversation with Mrs. Patterson Presi-
dent Johnson's daughter,-upont the repub-
lican simplicity of the establishment she
remarked to him. " We are plain people,
sir, from the mountains of Tennessee, ana
we do not propose to put on airs because
we have the fortune 10 occupy this place d
little while" There is u homeiiness in this
utterance, which will shock the sensitive
refinement of ottar-of-rose and lavender
water class; but il las a sentiment in it
which must meet with response from every
true lover of democratic ideas and practi-
ces.
When Mr.. Lincoln, in one of his messa.
ges, spoke OF the 'plain people,r courtly
aristourats turned UP their noses, and
sneered at the idea that men OF broad
shoulders and brawny muscles should be
considered the fountain of strength i'm a
Government But four years of war, dur
ing which the plain :" soldiers of the Re-
public vindicated their claim to be consid-
cred first among the warriors OF the world,
while their plain and homely leader, bred
in n squa,ter's hut and educated by the
light of a blazing pine knot, took his place
beside the greatest names i'm history, have
changed the verdict OF even the fendal
placeholders of Inonarchic countries. Nor
will the honorable record of the working
receive additional lustre from the career
of the plain man who began his career
AS y tailor's apprentice, and is finishing ii
by the exhibition of qualities of states
| inanship which force confessions of admi-
ration from the most bigoted organs of alb
sol,itism in Europe.
The reference of Mrs. Patterson to the
mountain home of her family is sugges-
tive OF the fact tlnit when the tornado oi
war was sweeping over Tennessee, Presi-
dent Johnson's Kin dwelt where its rava-
ses we're most dreadful, and that while
some who are now leading the shoddy ar
ist0cracy of the metropolis We're coming
their iil-gotten dollars from the sufferinys
and the blood of brave men, they were be-

This is one OF the class OF Coppsrhead

taking of the power (placed there by the

pie and putting it in the hands OF the Pres

ident Johnson knows their opinions as
well AS any one. and is not the man to be
