AOueer Prescriptron.

There are two doctors living at not re-
mote distance from Erie, Pa; they are the
only doctors in the town and of course the
best relations exist between them. One is
of the old school persuasion, the other OF
no particular school, but very learned In
his way, as well as being an intense Repub-
lican in politics. 1t so happened, in the
course of the practice of the latter, that-he
was called to see a little boy who had swal-
lowed a cent coin. Never having had a
case of the kind he was put to his trump
what TO do. Failing in every prescription
he had administered, as last and final re-
sort, he made bold to call on the old school
doctor for his advice in the matter. W
The doctor with much patience and at
tention listened to the details of the case
and with great gravity said: IL have had
much experience in similar cases, and I'll
tell you what to do" With eyes and ears
open our radical NJ. d. listened with pro-
found attention; said the doctor, IL sup
pose you are aware that there has been q
great scarcity of coin for q long time past /;
now my theory is, that this coin has been
driven out by the paper shin-plasters that
have taken their place. My advice would
be that you take about five cent stamps" !"
make them into pills, one to pill, and give
one every two hours; if that won't drive it
out, don't know what will.-BufdLO Com.

Presldent .Iohnson,s speech.

The birthday of Washington was fitting
ly chosen for popular demonstrations in IA
Vor OF the Union. That in this city was
triumphant. That at Washington, equally
enthusiastic, was even more significant,
for there the President himself uttered
"thoughts that breathe and words that
burn" That great effort OF wisdom and
patriotism will secure for him the gratitude
OF his own country and the appreciation OF
the world. When this wonderful speech
has been attentively read aud digested by
the American people, President johnson
will be as firmly established In their confi-
dence and affections as the most popular OF
his predecessors. f.g s,rnu u..-
THERE'S not point touched in the speech
that does not find response in Union-lOving
hearts. Its rebuke of traitors and dema7
gogues Is alike stern and deserved. The de-
nuneiation of Slidell and Toombs for at
tempting to destroy the Union by rebel
lion, and of Stevens, Sumner and Phillips,
for resisting the work of reconstruction, is
as great as it is severe. The injustice and
cruelty of Congress toward Tennessee and
her representatives is made so clear that
'all who run can read" The inconsis-
tency and absurdity of declaring, as wei did,
that States were not out OF the Union and
could not be taken out aud after expend-
ing thousands OF millions OF dollars and
deep rivers of blood to establish that fact,
to turn round and say that States are out of
the Union and shall not come in, is made as
clear as the sun that frightened this morn
ing. The lesson of duty toward offending
brethren who acknowledge their offense
and promise amendment is eloquent
ly and reverently impressed. The inter-
view with President Lincoln, showing what
were the views OF the late President on the
subject Of constitutional amendments, is
full of instruction. . ...
The assurance found in every sentiment
and sentence of this enlightened speech that
President johnson adheres inflexibly to all
the principles avOwed during the rebellion;
that he reiterates his solemn conviction that
treason is crime" and that official traitors
should bepunished, and that the enemies of
the Union are his enemies and its friends
his friends, is full of encouragement, and
will unite and invigOrate a people upon
whose Judgment and patriotism he so frank
ly and cOntidingly reposes. His faith will
save him aud the country. Indeed, from
the twenty day of February, 1866,
the UNION, with all the stripes and stars by
which it is symbolized, is a FIXED FACT

tirue enough to

ought there would then be tiue enough to
lie then referred briefly to the fact that
men have been rejoicing over his veto
message, saying that If these men In good
faith adopted the views of his policy, which
he had himself held and acted upon, and
which he had so fully elaborated in his an
nual message and explained to the cOun-
try, surely he could have no cause for sor-
row in that. II dislOydl men and rebels eUery-
tohere, North and South, should cordially gtUe
their adherence 10 the conditions of restoration
he had uniformly insisted upon, he thought that
ods precisely the Kind of pdcifcatio1t loyal men
eutrytohere loOald rejoice in. The more they
were committed TO such course the better
he would like it, for If they were not sincere
they would at least diminish their power of
dangerous opposition in the future. His
whole heart was with the body of true men
who had carried the country through the
war, and he earnestly desired to maintain a
cordial and perfect understanding with
them. This sentiment and purpose he re-
garded as entirely consistent with deter
mined opposition to the obstruction policy
OF those extremists, who, as he believed,
would keep the country in chaos until alb
solute ruin might come upon us.
Such, my dear sir, is the statementof the
President on this important matter, and II
you could meet his straightforward, honest
look aud hear the hearty tones of his voice,
as did, am well assured you could be-
lieve with me, that, although he may not
receive personal assault with the forbear-
ance Mr.. Lincoln used TO show, there is no
need to fear that Andrew johnson Is not
sincere in his adhesion to the principles
upon which he was elected. Very truly
yours,

Mr.. Beecher is suffering severely for his
recent course, as well as the President. We
do not know that it is exactly correct to say
that he is suffering; for man who is at
tacl1edis not always a sufferer. But he is
assailed with bitterness and fury only less
vindictive than thatdirected upon the Pres
ident. We're he in the Presidents place
there would be no personal slander too foul
to heap upon him. AS it is, il he continues
to defend the Constitution, we, have no
doubt he will soon be shown to be the per-
not ousted from his pulpit, it will be be-
cause his congregation do not altogether
credit all they read or hear. We may say
gravely, however, that the sort Of passion
ate vituperation now INDUCED In SO extern
sively, is rather poor, though perhaps q
convenient, substitute for reason and COM
mon sense.-N.Y. Times.

What's TO be Done I'm n Matter of
'h this Sort? iif"' i.

Secretary SEWARD was delighted with
President JoHNsoE's speech. The ". Y
Times "a Republican journal making some
pretensions to refined taste) declared, that
'SIhat great effort Of wisdom and patriot
ismwill secure for him the gratitude of his
own country and the appreciation Of the
world" The ZdnesUiEe Courier, however
asserts that in consequence of that speech
'the nation was made to blush for its Exec
utivS, and we presume no man in Ameri-
is, to-day, more ashamed of that speech
than ANDREW JOHNSON, and probably nc
man moro deeply regrets that it was ever
delivered" The Courier accuses the Presi-
dent with having ''bandied epithets in a
manReEand style more becoming a bar
room debauchee than the President OF the
United States" '' i..h EsLr.
1t is very strange that Republican editors
differ so widely touching the propriety and
decencyo of speech by their own President.
Nowswh to be done ir matter of this
sort? Is 1t not clearly for the people to
commend the President-to rebuke his
niallgners?-by voting the Democratic tick
ct at the April election. Democrats do not
accuse him of having made speech that
would have even done dishonor to low
grog shop, as Republican journals and pol
iticiaRs generally accuse him with having
done. Let us have the sense of the honest
industrious, Union-loving and tax-paying
peOpleon this question at the April elec-
tion. Let them vote the Democratic ticket
and thus put to shame the vile traducers OF
the President because he proposes to Ad.
minister the Government I'M conformity to
the requirements of the Constitution.

The President on the occasion of Gov
ernor Cox's interview with him, made a
most capital point against those stupid poll
iticlans in the Republican party, who are
exclaiming, with feeling Of seeming hor-
ror, HWhy, the Copperheads and Rebels are
applaudihg President JOHNSON for his
Veto" Said the President to Governor
Cox, sIf disloyal men and rebels every
where, North and South, should cordially
give their adherence to the conditions OF
restoration he had uniformly insisted upon,
he thought thar was precisely the kind Of
paeiacation loyal men everywhere would
rejoice ia.r Oh course "loyal men will
reioIes in that skihd Of paclficatlon," but

EIIsIer,s Atheneum.

There was fine house at the Atheneum last night
The play Of the Lion of St. Marc was, as we expect
cd it would prove TO be, one Of SURPRISING interest
Thepiot is excellent one and its interweavingSad
unraveling kept the audience excited and attentive
till the curtain fell at the final close.
Mr.. Couldock depicted the character Of the Chief
Of the famous or infamous Council of Ten with his
usual dramatic skill and artistic power. Miss Coul-
dock rendition Of LesbiA was cxcellept,J and IN
some passages, her earnesness and inaexibS deter
mination we're greeted with loud applause. In the
character of Galieno, Mr.. Nsglc. and in that
of Viola, Miss Clara Morris. evinced those fine pow
ers Of skiful inns ersonation which have made them
decided fayorites with the public. The,entiTe play
was admirably produced.
/ We shall have at the Atheneum tonight another
new play, called Milky White, in which the imper-
sonation of the principal character will devolve upon
Mr., Couldock. This play will be followed by the
delightful comedy Of Faint Heart Never Won Fair
Lady-the leading character by Miss Couldock.

DemocratIc RatI1icatIon Meeting.

A spirited meeting was held at the Court
House on Wednesday evening last, at the
call of the Democratic Central Committee,
to indorse the action OF the President In
vetoing the Freedmen's Bureau bill. Ma
jor D.. w. Stambaugh, being called for, re-
sponded in mastery speech of over an
hour, in which he elaborated in very able
manner, upon the points urged by the
President in his objections to the bill-thus
demonstrating eonclusively the gross ini-
quity of the measure. The meeting was
complete success, considering the short
notice given. We looked round for the
u. S. Assessor and the u. s. Postmaster,
and the US. Tax Collector, naturally sup
posing that they would be on hand to sustain
and indorse the President of their choice i'm
the honest exercise Of this constitutional
prerogative. We honestly supposed as a
matter 'Of course" they would indorse the
president under whom they are holding fat
offices, and from whom they are now re-
ceiving their daily bread; but neither of
them were present. 1t would appear from
this that they have not yetdecided to sup
port the Government" The Democrats did
not vote for Andy johnson, but it is, there
fore, none the less becoming that they sus-
tain him now, especially when he is In per-
feet accord with them on a measure that
vitally affects the interests of the whole
country. We shall see what we shall see.

The Pre.ident,s speech.

The Nep York World, in an editorial dis
cussing the Presidents speech, says:
We have had a Tennessee President be-
fore, whose intrepid openness made the
nincOmpoops and red-tapists of his day
"stare and gasp" General Jackson's free
doms of this kind were official as well as
unofficial, as his replies to certain delega-
tions and committees in the Bank days,
bear witness. Anybody who is curious to
see specimens may find them in the third
volume of Parton's Life" To a son of
Rufus King, who was,the spokesman of a
committee of merchants and bankers from
this city, General Jackson said "Well,
sir, Rufus King was always a Federalist,
and suppose you take after him. Insolent
do you say? What do you come to me for,
then?' To another delegation, he said :
''Why am teased with committees? Here
/ am receiving twoor three anonymous let
ters every day, threatening me with assas-
sination if don't restore the deposits and
recharter the bank-the abOminable insti-
tution-the monster that has attempted to
control the Government. I've got my foot
upon it, and I'll crush it," He was perpet-
ually saying he had no confidence in Con-
gress, and expressing the opinion that its
members had been bought up with bank
gold. THE id Internal scoundrel!" was
the epithet he applied to one member of
Congress. After reading one of Mr.. Clay's
phillipics against him, he exclaimed: "Oh,
if live to get these robes of Office off me,
will bring the rascal to dear account

MpuEweuslon 20 Democrats.

With view to complete Endorsement
OF President JoHNsoN's veto message and
disposition that the Southern States are in
the Union, aud therefore entitled TO repre-
sentation, would It not bewell for the Dem-
ocrats everywhere, at the coming April
election, to run unexceptionable candidates
for the respective offices, and to make the
issue turn on that Endorsement? Ii the
Democrats shall lose vote even in any
township, ward or city at the ensuing cleo
tlon over the election of last fall-that is, If
the Democratic majority shall be less or
the Republican majority shall be greater
the pisunionists in Congress will regard it
as an Endorsement Of their Revolutionary
course, and, asa matter Of course, as re-
pudiation Of the Presidents policy. Meet
ings indorsing the Presidents veto are all
well enough; but if the Democrats shall
make the issue Of his Endorsement boldly at
the April election and shall obtain increased
maiorIties In those localities where they are
in the habit of obtaining majorities, and If
they shall reduce the Republican maiori-
ties In those localities where the Republic
cans are In the habit of fObtaining majori-
ties, the result will be most salutary. Moth
ing could speak with more potency to the
Disunionists iu Congress that their course
is adisapproved of by the people. Even
should what might be termed Conservative
Republicans. succeed under the pretense of
indorsing the President, it would not be so
etiicacious, 1vgo1 9t. 3r ..aa' ir Ir
1t seems to us, that at this time it is par
ticularly proper that Democrats should
make unusual efforts to carry the April
elections. Indeed, they should make as
much effort, il not more, as at even Presi-
.dential election. There is not much at
stake in the matter of Office; but in the
matter of the Endorsement of the
Presidents policy, the future success
ofrsthe Democratic party is at stake.
The Republican press OF this State,
WITH very general unanimity, declare
that the people sustain Congress and that
they do Dtsustain the President. Whether
or not they speak truly can he determined
at the April election. We hope, therefore,
the Democrats will take hold of this mat
ter with spirit and energy, and prevail on
all the voters they possibly can to unite
with them in pronouncing against the Dis
unionists in Congress. If they shall faith
fully do their duty in the matter, the re-
suit will be one that will be gratifying to
Conservatives everywhere, and will
strengthen the President to unfalteringly
20 right forward in his great work OF paci-
Ilcation.

Andrew johnson has taken up the gaunt-
let which the Jacobins in Congress have
flung down. The man at the other end of
the avenue has shown his appreciation of
lrhad. Stevens and his radical clique by the
bold and uncompromising manner in
which he denounced them by name, in his
speech in Washington on the 22d, as trait
ofs andfeVolutionists. He took plain is
sue with themihhonest and hOmely words.
He stands for the Constitution and the
Union. His enemies, he declares, are, work-
ing out another rebellion. The country, I'VE

bold than anything which Mr.. Lincoln ev-

The WehIi Concerts.

The celebrated pianist Mr.. James, M.
Wehli, will give two grand concerts at the
Opera House on Friday and Saturday even
ings OF this week. HeYill be assisted by
Mile Frida De Gebele, the eminent contralS
to; Mr.. S. G, Campbell, the distinguished
basso, and by Mr.. Edward Hoffman, pianist
and Musical Director 1t is generally CON
ceded by musical critics, we believe, that
no pianist who has visited our country, has
eXcelled Wehli. Gottschalk may be said,
perhaps, to have more of the fire OF genius,
but does not excel .Wehll IN execution and
expression The latter plays Thai berg'sl
Fantasia with bis left hand as brilliantly as
Gottschalk with both hands. Wehli's left
hand performances are, indeed, great
marvel, and excite astonishment and won-
der in all who witness them. i,rri,,,, i''
We copy from an Albauypaper the fol-
lowing in regard to the recent Wehli con-,
certs in that city: ~
Mr.. Wehliis pianist of remarkable abiIi-,
ty. He has entire command of his instru-
ment, ahdin facility of execution he is un-
surpassed. Musical critics everywhere
speak of his performances as belonging to
the highest order. Mile Gebele Is rot a
singer of the first class, but she has good
vOiceof wide range, and is pleasing, If not,
great. She was heartily encored. The
vocalization of Mrs.. G. Campbell is grand.
FIe is one Of the finest male singers that
ever visited Rochester. His voic, Is both
powerful and clear, and has fulness and.
roundness of tone that is seldom met with
in such perfection. Without doubt Mr..
Campbell is an artist of greatexcellence.
He was repeatedly called back, and good
naturedly gratitied the evident desire OF
the people to hear more from him. The ac-
compartments were splendidly played by
Mr.. Hoffman. The entertainments were
really'Very fine, and we are sorry that SO
few saw fit to enjoy them. yie.sda

A Soldiers Opinion of the Niger
Bureau.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer relates the
following incident in its local column:
An intelligent colored man, who works
at the, depot took our reporter into the
Soldiers Home, this morning, in order to
convince him of the excellence of the
Freedmen's Bureau. Some soldiers had
just arrived from North Carolina, and the
cOlored man would leave the Bureau ques-
ltiOn to them--teeling satisfied that they
would give loud testimony in its favor.
He was doomed to disappoihtmenth however.
Said the colored attendant of our reporter,
to bright looking member of the squad:
Don't you think that the Southern ne
groes would all tbe butchered in cold blood
by their masters ,if twasn't for the Freed,
mems BureauT" "NOt by'a id sigbt!"
returned the soldier. "The Freedmen's
Bureau is id humbug, and the niggers
would be devilish sight better of without
it," The colored man looked around for a
knot hole; but finding none, quickly SUNK
out ofsight. r~TETT NWT'r q q
