We give Johnson credit for sincerity IN
other respects as well as in his confession
that he cares nothing for dignity. When he
announced that be was prepared, If only en-
o~ouraged, to meet the Congress single-hand-
ed and alone, we fully believe that be meant
what he SAID. In that rough and rOWdy
frame is, we are quite ready 10 believe, the
soul Of a genuine despOt. There Is probably
no extreme Of violence, no manner Of coup
detat, from which Andrew Johnson would
shrink " only be once felt convinced that he
had a sufficient support.
1t is earnestly to be hoped, aud now, per-
hsps, to be expected with some confidence,
that the approaching elections will teach him
Il timely lesson, snd show him that be has
oyerrated his strength. In truth, the people
Of the United States have now to cope with
a second attack upon their liberties, scarcely
less menacing, and certainly not less auda-
cious, than that which began undsr Jefferson
Davis.
We have no fear for the result. The Ielt-
styled Moses Of the negro race has turned
traitor to them and to the Constitution under
