Storm Brewing.

The Rev, j. P. NEWMAN, in a let
ter to- the New York Methodist,
makes the following startling state
ment: hEed sia h944o1h a9d1G edL
"Nor is it the least Objectionable feature
Of Mr.. Johnson's administration that, hav-
ing Withdrawn the greater portion of the
troops from the several garrisons, he has
collected in these self-same garrisons i'm
mense quantities of military stores, ord
nance sufficient to equip a. large force.
There is, today, at Baton Rouge, La, ord
nance sufficient to equip an army Of 200, 900
men, NTH bstt a single regiment to protect
hem. Although Officially notified of the fact,
he has paid no attention to the notihca-
tions Of the dangers involved, The South
sc1s 'aever better armed thDn rtotO." fI
The plot is so plain that none but
the blind can fail to see it. President
JOHNSON is not denouncing Congress
as an, Unconstitutional body for
nothing neither are the threats he is
breathing out against the loyal men
of the North meaningless. He knows
he will be defeated this Fall, every
where, and he intends to establish
himself by force in the position he
now holds for another four years. &
The above facts but accord with
Mr.. NIBLAcK's threats. Does he not
affirm that the President has the army
and navy at his bacsz, and that he will
resist such acts of Congress as he may
regard unconstitutional? We tell the
people they must be on their guard.
tits not strange that the boys who
fought through the war are organic ]
ing into such bodies as the Grand
Army of the Republic for protection.
We say to, them, hasten to strengthen
and consolidate your organization.
It may serve you much sooner than
you now an ticipate.

SIGNIFICANT.

The results of the war are pretty
well summed up by drunken Cop
perhead, who had just executed some
conyeyances. He was seen leaning
against fence with the deeds in his
hands, with revenue stamps affixed
and soliloquizing as follows: So
1--we always understood George Wash
ington was good man. He fought against
Great Britain in the Revolution. Our IA
theirs fought with him eight years, and we
got the Niger and beat Old England out of
the stamps. General Lee-he didn't fight
in the same war that Washington did. Our
boys fought with him for four years, and
now by Cd we've lost the niger and got
the stamps. stf sst als.a 4.se

him. to understand that he must then
necessarily be engaged in doing the
devils work. So, too, when the loyal
people of the country see Mr.. BEECH
Err praised and petted by the rebels
and traitors-guerrillas and murder
ers-who have SO long tried to destroy
the Government. when they see the
secession sympathizers in the North
ern States receiving him with open
arms and loud acclamations of joy
and satisfaction, have they not suffis
cient reasons for concluding that he
is doing the work that individuals of
that class approve?aa ia lai7d
By an active and ingenious mind
like Mr.. BEECHER's, reasons can be
manufactured for almost any course
that it may choose to take; yet. with
all his ingenuity, he will not be able
to remove the stubborn fact that his
Cleveland letter is only calculated
to give aid and encouragement to the
men who have always hboasteda them
selves his and the country's enemies,
and correspondingly saddened and
discouraged his friends, many of whom
will not recall the s good Bye they
gave him, when he abandoned his past
associations and PRINCIPLES. -

Henry Ward BeecheP,

This distinguished divine seems to
have suddenly become convinced that
Vice President JOHNSON is not the
only dispenser of bread and butter -
in the United States. His letter in
dorsing the Cleveland Convention
produced a decided unpleasantness
among his Pensioners of Plymouth
Church, and possibly they have given
him to understand that men some
times break the idols which they have
long been in the habit of worshiping.
We do not say that the election of
new pastor for Plymouth Church,
which is to take place shortly, has
any thing to do with modifying the
reverend gentleman's views, as ex-
pressed in his Cleveland letter, or
caused him to feel that explanations
were necessary; but we find that he
has fastened to, make explana-
tons and have them telegraphed all
over the country, to the extent of
column or two, of very fine print.
Aswe had not space for Mr.. BEECH
ER's letter endorsing Mr.. JoHNsoN's.
policy and the Cleveland Convention
called for the purpose of making it
more acceptable to the people, on the
ground that it was approved by the
loyal soldiers of the country, we
shall not print, for similar reason,
his explanations. We are not dispos-
ed to find fault with him for indorsine
the Vice President, but we must say
that his last letter, in which he att
tempts to show that he is both for and
against Mr.. JOHNSON, savors of ccw- 4
ardice and want of that pluck for
which he has claimed pre-eminence
in days that are past. Sprightly as he
is, Mr.. BEEcHER cannot successfully
ride, at the same time, two horses
running in opposite directions. With
all his love for horsefesh, and his ex-
perience as horseman, he is not com
petent for so difficult a feat. No more
can he approve Mr.. JoHNsoN's policy, |
and at the same time sustain the action
of Congress as embodied in the Con-
stitutional amendments. The two |
are travelling in opposite direc-
tons, MT.0 JeHNsoN's policy a. is |
towards and is very near
if not quite in. the camp of the rebels
who have been endeavorine to Overt
throw the Government for the past
four or five years, while the Constitu-
tionaI Amendments are designed to
place the country in the hands of
loyal men and them only. Were one
of Mr.. BEEcHERs constituents to in
form him that he was no longer on
hostile terms with the devil, the elo-
quent divine would no doubt give

Mr.. Johnson i'm st. Louis.

The Missouri Democrat gives some
items connected with the recent visit
of Vice President JOHNSON to that
city, which are worthy of being copied.
The most Insignificant circumstances
were magnifed into favorable or un-
favorable omens, and the whole dem
onstration had in it much that was
ridiculous and absurd There was,
too, much to make the intelligent peo-
pie feel sick at heart, and wonder
what is to become of the country,
when such scenes are being enacted
in the prominent cities of the North
west, and of daily occurrence, with the
Chief Magistrate of the great Repub-
lie as the principal actor. 51'i- p
Mr.. JOHNSON was kindly received
by men of all parties in st. Louis. A
Republican Mayor did all that he could
to make his visit pleasant and agree
able. There was a strong desire mani
tested by all the people to treat him as
the National Executive ought to be
treated in the chief commercial city
of the Great Mississippi Valley. Yet,
notwithstanding all this, Mr.. JOHN
SONS speech was more vituperative
and insulting than any he had previ-
ously delivered. The Democrat says
charity can not throw a mantle over
the Presidents performance by at
tributing it Standardization. Mr. JOHN
SON was not drunk, and we must ac-
cept his insolent, tricky, illogical, and
altogether vulgar harangue, as the
best that. the acting President of the
United States can do, in his sober
senses and with all his mental powers
at work.
But we promised to give our read
erss some items connected with the
demonstration :yoEta eva

POETRY IN UNDREss.-A English
paper, which rejoices in the name of
Ladies' Own, thus plays tricks with
rhyme and reason:
SIT is many years since fell in love
with Jane Jerusha Skeggs, the hand
soonest girl by far that ever went on legs.
By meadow, creek, and wood, and dell,
so often did we walk, and the moonlight
smiled on her melting lips, and the
night winds learned our talk. Jane
Jerusha was all to me, for my heart was
young and true, and loved with a double
and twisted love, and love that was
honest, too. roamed all over the
neighbors' farms, and | robbed the wild
wood bowers, and tore my trowsers and
scratched my hands, in search of choicest
flowers. In my joyous love l brought
all these TO my Jerusha Jane, but l
wouldn't be so foolish now, if l were
boy again. A city chap then came
along, all dressed up in fine clothes,
with shiny hat and shiny vest, and
a mustache under his nose. He talked
to her of singing school (for her father
owned a farm), and she left me, the
country love, and took the new chaps
arm. And all that night l never slept,
nor could ] eat next day, for l loved
that girl with fervent love, that naught
could drive away. l strove to win her
back me, but it was all in vain; the
city chap, with the hairy lip, married
Jerusha Jane. And my poor heart was
sick and sore, until the thought struck
ne, that just as good fish still remained
as ever was caught in the sea. So |
went to the Methodist church. one nj ght,
and saw a dark brown curl, peeping
from under gypsy hat, and | married
that very girl. And many years have
passed and gone, and l think my loss
my gain and | often bless that hairy
chap that stole Jerusha Jane"
