he has uttered on that head would not
be tolerated in the hastiest stump
speech. They are too i'll judged and
impulsive for us to think or write pa
tentlv about them; and we count it
no slight misfortune for the nation
that its chief magistrate should have
spoken in this style
We do not think the President
would care to have the political scnti-
ments of his Yesterdays speech dis
cussed. 1t will form 40 part of his
record, for he must alrendy wish that
it had never been spoken. He said
nothing new, nothing which he has
not before declared. No one-not
even Mr. Stevens--has doubted his
desire to do right, as he saw the right.
And we pcrfer, in discussing his
policy, to take for its opponents his
previous speeches and messages, in
which he has talked more plainly and
temperately, and displayed more com
pletely his ideas and purposes on all
parts of the question of reconstruction.
Standing upon those expressions OF
himself he occupied a strong position,
to which the whole country was rapid
~ rallying; while such a petulant ont
break ms that of yesterday can only
repel sympathy and support.--N y

The Presidents Speech.

When Mr. Seward rose last night
III Cooper Institute to defend the
Pres dent, he did not know how
greatly the President had Just offend
ed In the singular and IN some re.
spects unfortunate speech which Mir.
johnson made Yesterday afternoon in
the White House grounds be struck
right and left, and III his zeal to parry
attacks which have unnecessarily irri-
tated him, hit friends and foes indis-
criminately, and even gave himself
one or two knocks which will cause
him, if we are not mistaken, more suf-
fering than the worst blows OF those
whom he chooses to think his enemies.
Il is n matter for regret that Mr..
Johnson should so far allow his re-
sentiment to get the better of his iudc
ment, as to forget, what Mr.. Seward
very truly observed last night, and
what all judicious men in Congress
and in the country constantly bear in
mind, that the difference between the
President and certain leading Republi-
llcans is question of methods for
obtaining the same end, and not one
OF different ends 1t is 70 excuse for
the President, that those whom lie
singled out 10y name, for personal Vi
tupetation, had already offended
against HIM In a similar manner.
W hen Mr.. Sumner, recently, spoke in
the Senate of the Presidents policy as
embarrassing" he only shocked the
connirys sense of propriety thereby,
and felt himself obliged, as quickly as
possible, to explain and apologize for
his rudeness; when Mr.. Stevens in
the House nsed that foolish phrase
about British king losing his head,
winch appears to have so greatly and
/ needlessly irritaied Mr.. johnson, the
whole country exclaimed agains. it as
an indecency, and even Mr. Stevens
must have felt that he had greatly in
jured his own cause by such words.
Bat the same sentiment of propriety
and respect which was shocked by the
Incorporate words of Messrs. Sumner
and Stevens, is still more outraged by
the uncalled for and offensive retort of
Mr. johnson. We are not of those
who hold it improper for the Presi-
dent to speak to the people; we were
not offended at Mr. Lincoln's speeches
and shall not find fault with Mr.. John
son if he is moved to announce or de-
fend his policy in speech. But the
President OF the United States ought
not TO descend into the pit; and in
stead OF calling names and Inducing
IN personalities he would have done
well to initiate the noble patience
with which Abraham. Lincoln bore far
bltterer gibes, far ruder attacks, from
! the same man
For the shocking and unseemly i'm
putation Mr. Johnson chose to brine
against Messrs. Stevens, Sumner and
others opposed to his policy. that
then intention was to incite assas.
slnation," we trust that he will make
haste to apologize, not merely to them
but to the country, which he has most
grlevously insulted, Such words as

saS" The Richmond Examiner which
was closed the other day for treasona-
bic talk, by General Grant, and per-
mltted since to resume publication by
Mr., Johnson, is specially pleased with
his late speech, and says of the Presi-
dent.
He not only has all the power which
the late President possessed, but he
has q great deal more He has II ire
mendous will and power of his own,
as the conceited old hide-bound single
rider of the radical circus company
will learn whenever he wakes Andrew
johnson fully up. Why, if the Presi-
dent We're only II man of ordinary in
telligence, with the means and appli-
ances ut his command he could easily
route and annihilate the whole howl
ing host of radical pigmies as thor
onghly as the cranes are suid TO have
done m dealing with the pigmes OF
antiquity; but Andrew johnson is moi
an ordinary man, ms his acts and
speeches luminopsly demonstrate. He
is man with braius, large and fun
and Mlll stern aud del ermined. II,
knows his power, and he knows how
to use it, Like the contest between
Jupiter and the Titans will be TIN
fight between the President and th
radicals; only the Titans in this cas-
will be very snail ones.

The Presidents Speech.


we care not to conceal orr disap-
probation Of President Johnsons
speech, portions of which may be
found elsewhere in our columns 1t is
Incorporate in tone and highly insult
ing TO the loyal party to which he is
indebted for his present position. 1t
reads more like the stump speech Of
an Office Sucker than the deliberate
words Of the Chief Magistrate Of a
great nation. Great indeed was the
disappointment to large majority Of
his party friends when he sent to the
Senate the message vetoing the Freed
mems Bureau Bill Greater still was
their chagrin ut the reioicings this
act caused in the copperhead camp.
And yet aftes' he momentary excite
ment had supsided and the message
more thoroughly examined into, there
was disposition to quietly accept IT
as the honest convictions of an honest
man. The people regretted that
Congress and the President should dis
agree on SO important a measure but
considered it a friendly disagreement.
If the President had signed the bill,
which places great power and patron
age in his hands, while disappointing
of it, he could, fhe saw fit, make it MI
gatory. Thus stood the public pulse,
when the President in response to q
batch of resolutions, adopted by pub
lie meeting in Washington. engineered
by those who opposed the war for the
Union and in which no prom inent
Union man took part, uttered the eX-
traordinary speech above alluded to.
His allusion to Stevens, Sumner,
and Phillips is undigniiied, unwar-
ranted, and we had almost said I'M
pardonable. Because Thad. Stevens
has occasionally alluded to the Presi-
dent personally in a sarcastic manner
it does not Justify the President in de-
scending to the level of stump ora
tor, and before n promiscuous gather
ing of new admirers, accuse Senators
Of efforts to incite his assassination.
The repeated illusions to himself are
also in exceedingly bad taste. Why pa
rade the fact that he has been tailor,
an alderman, and so on? Why con-
stantly tell us of the great sutierings
he underwent during the war? We
all freely admit that Andrew Johnson
has suffered much i'll person and
property; that while other prominent
southerners with voice and sword
fought against The Union, he stood
firm for the stars and stripes, and for
this he won the praise of loyal men by
whom he was elected TO the Vice
Presidency as part payment for the
great sacrifices he made for the Union
cause.
There is no denying the fact that
the speech of Mr.. johnson has caused
not only great dissatisfaction in the
Union party, but, it is feared, rup-
ture. And for this rupture, if there
be one, the responsibility must resi- up.
on the shoulders of the President
The people have been charitable and
forbenring towards him, but when he
steps too far out of the track of pro
prieiy and allows himself to be con
trolled 10y his former bitter oppo
nents, they must desert him. The
President can by his future action &c
away much of the bad feeling his
speech has raised, and that he will is
the earnest desire of the many whom
he has offended.

ANOTHER WITNESS FROM THE SoUTH.-
A Washington correspondent says
that General Grants most trusted aid
Colonel Eli Parker, the Indian chief,
has Just returned from prolonged
tour through the South, and thus re-
ports his experience there:-
"Ho, wearing his uniform, was
struck by the redundant professions
of loyal submission which everywhere
groetea him. These were SO frequent
as at last to excite his suspicious. He
clothed himself in citizens garb, and
Their after pa sed as member of the
Choctaw nation, well known to the
South rs II rich, well educated, and
intensely pro-slayery tribe Of the
Southwest. This disguise Embossed
the lrtchstrings of their secret
thoughts, and hereafter he heard not
one loyal word except when III pursu-
ance Of his duty he was with our own
officers. The most malignant disloy-
atty, the most vindictiye hatred, the
iiereest, though suppressed determi-
nation to bide their time, and wreak
