TEARS FOR THE MILLIONS.

The country, like tender mother. will
bear great deal of congratulation over the
lact that professional sympathizer so shrewd
as Mr. Reverdy johnson has helped his
presidential namesake to a relief of his over
charged sensibilities There can be no mis-.
take about ii; real tears have been shed of
late, copious and volumnious sorrow, q SEN
timental rain of so general character that
we have serious fears that the cotton crops
will be spoiled by late floods along the tract,
OF the returning members of the Philadel-
phia Convention. Tho President, like Moses
had only 10 tap the rock of that Convention
and the waters gushed forth to order. "If
you could have seen, sill, " said Mr.. Reyerdy
johnson, with his grandest Jury patho-

OF its meeting, hand in hand, amid the ran.

by heartfelt qualification at the event, filling
the eyes of thousands with tears of ioy.
which they neither could nor desired TO sun-
press, you would have felt that the time had
arrived, &c The President did feel that
the time had arrived, and was equal to the
emergency. "When, replied Mr.. Andrew
johnson, 1.-THE dispatches informed me that in
that vast body of men, distinguished for intel.
lect and wisdom, every eye was ssuffused with
tears on beholding the scene, could not
finish reading the dispatch to one associated
with me in the office, for my own feelings
overcame me-" Thereupon Mr.. johnson
concluded the affecting scene with the prac.
tica remark that Providence had something
to do in the matter.
Here it is we beg TO differ with the Presi.
dent, and to assert the water-power of the
official scepter of Moses. But no ordinary
occasion could have produced that uncom-
mon overflow The President has turned
his eyes toward the Radicals in Congress;
has berated Messrs. Sumner, Phillips and
Stevens; has denounced malignant and
subsidized press; has been mortified by Par
son Brownlow, and upbraided by his bosom
friend, the Rev. Gen. Granville Moody; has
seen Mr.. Jefferson Davis langushing in iail,
Mr. Montgomery Blair making speeches for
him, and the well -intentiOned Mr.. RAYMOND
writing him down-but has never shed a
tear. Those Conventional tears were un.
conventional; tears-as the President might
remark
Tears, idle tears; | know not whence they
come:
Tears from the depths of some divine de.
spair-
we will not mention the Freedmen's Bureau,
or the murders of the poor Unionists Mt New
Orleans. They would have been worth the
expiation of Presidents tears, responsive
to such an impenitent and joyful sun shower
as occurred at the Wigwam. We beg the
members from Louisiana to dry their eyes

The upheayed land and bury the folk,

THE PREBIDENT JUDGED BY
HINIS ELF.

No event since the end of the war has so
profoundly moved the country as the mas
sacre at New Orleans, and none OF the cir
cumstances connected with it have been re-
garded with more painful surprise than the
action of the President Ever since the
meeting of Congress last December he has
stTenuously insisted that the late Rebel
states. by conforming to certain terms which
he had named, without consultation with
Congress, were fully restored to their equal
relations in the Union with the loyal States
He has publicly denounced Senators and
Representatives as traitors and disunionists
because they did not agree with him. He
has vetoed the most important bills passed
by Congress, assigning among his reasons
in every instance that legislation during the
exclusion from representation of the States
In question was of doubtful cOnstitutiOnality
lie has uniformly spoken of those States as
no longer in an exceptional situation, insist
ing that war was over, that all its methods
were at an end, and that nothing remained

Union but the admission OF Representatives

Louisiana is one of these States. The

the same footing in the Union as New York,

ihorities exactly as New York is treated

sincerely held and would honestly control
his action.

How1T FEELS TO D1r.-one da ,

How 1T FEELS TO DIE. One day last week
young man who was in Hamilton, Ohio,
was run over by a locomotive and so badly
mangled that he died in few hours. The
poor fellow was carried into house near
the road, and a physician was brought to
him in very short time; but il was evident
that he was beyond human help. He con.
versed cheerfully with his acquaintances
who came in to see him, and said he felt
very well. Soon afterwards, turning to the
physician, he asked, Ibid you give me
something to put me to sleep, doctor?' The
doctor replied that he did not. "Then I'm
dyingr' exclaimed the poor fellow, with
surprising energy, and after giving a brief
direction to have his friends in distant
State notified of his death, he expired
