. to the object aud tendencies Of
Andrew Johnson's policy, he need no
lsager profess to sntertain saeh doubts
and claim TO be honest, unless he AZ the,
same time profess very great Ignorance
The history Of Valland ighan, who coun-
seled resistance to the laws made for the,
suppression Of Tie rebellion; the history
Of Fernando Wood, who was one Of the
Iinstigators q the New York riot; the
history Of Geo. H. rendleton, who rep
resented the copperheads In Congress
and voted against Ill laws made for the
suppression Of the rebellion, are written
in such giar1ng capitals and are full Of
such rank disloyalty; that they cannot
pass from tbs memory Of the people.-'
and yet 1t IL proposed that these gentle
men with the class Of politicians they
represent, together with A, H, Stephens
and Jefferson Davis and their followers,
shall constitute the main portion Of the
Johnson party, which, for effect, is to be
called the National Union Party. b To
make . pretense Of giving this party
some character, they have concluded to-
accept and acknowledge the existence Of
. few fndisputabie facts, such as the sup
preston of the rebellion. &c. and to ii,-
crease their LIST Of office- seekers By the
addition Of such names as Montgomery
Blair and VIM. II. Seward, and few
others, the number Of whom is not
great, for the major part Of said National
Union Party has been out Of Office for
some time and cannot afford to promise
many Of the best positions. M0ntgom-
cry Blair, who, with Rodgers and Pen-.
dleton, lately addressed. Democratic
meeting at Reading, Pa, unmarked the
tahlish . new party for the sole purpose
ofputting power and Office into different
hands from those that suppressed the
rebellion. He said that II the Radicals
should carry the elections in October
there would be two Presidents and two
Congresses in Washington; that the
Radicals would turn johnson out and he
would unite with the Democrats and
Congressman elect from the South. He
predicted that there would be another
civil war. In making this declaration
Mf. Blair must assume that johnson
will conduct himself In such way as to
make him liable to impeachment, and |
that In case he Is impeached he will dis
regard the voice Of the people and en-
deavOr to create an insurrection. How
ever much affinity Mr.. johnson may
have for treason, we do not believe lie !
will be fool enough to undertake to resist
the wishes Of majority of the people.
The language uasd by Mr.. Blair f. Just
such as brought about the rebellion
Like the rebels, he proposes to resist le-
gally constituted authority. Like them,
he proposes to resist the wishes Of the
majority. Like them, he proposes civil
war II the people do not vote as his fac
tion thinks they ought And yet, this
same Montgomery Blair is the president
of the johnson Club that originated the
so-called National Union Party, and
which originated the call for the Phila-
delphia Convention wherein copper
heads and rebels will be most abundant-
ly represented. d
Can any true Union man be deceived
by such political dishonesty? Has not
the Republican party proven itself the
true Union party? Then why should
any true Union man desire to leave it?
Can . better Union party be made out of
traitors and copperheads seasoned with
few interruptions aspirants?
