Z sets ell Mr.. Johnson's notions OF Recon
struction that there is not even shadoE
Of bis ''poIicy's leftI Through these
great -maj1rities the people are inspired
with new conf lence in their ability to
run the Government as they want it run
HiihOut refetsnce u the Presidents poll
I cy. and Eitbout his cid and iBfiuence.
Through these mai ,ritiea the people see
'Ftbere is 10 be permanent peace on such
terms as the friends Of the government
want, and already the markets are affected
by these maj DIiIiss, which say, in thun
der tones, that the ship Of State is to steer
fclear Of the breakers placed in her road
by her enemies She is not yet to be
dashed tOpieces. and handed over to the
control Of rebels. The President aud his
friends see the :'drift Of things and are
preparing for a change of base The
Republican army has marched right on
past thsrn and left them as sraglers in
the rear. They are as the tail Of the Bite
dragging in the dust, ghils the G real
party Of ireemen are matching on 90 do
baItIs for. THB RIGHT. johnson has been
tsugh,sthat be m y Swing around the
CIRCLE but that he can no more check
the American people ia tbeira onwArd
march to Equal RIGHTs than the misera-
bic hesthen can stop the car of Ju-
geruot by throwing his body in front of
its wheels. Andrew Johnson made a
mistake when be thought he eould take
the people backwards to the disgusting
paths Of conservatism.4 They move for
ward. The barriers which along system
of compromising aud conservatism had
thrown around slavery for its protection +,
were trsmpled down add destroyed in lie
war, and President Johnson nor no other
President can ever engage the American
people in rebuilding lhe,H. alo.a. = a-,
But We5digrsss. We wish to refer
more particularly to the kilograms. Il
has been stated that Judge Chase aud
other prominent Republicans bsvs been
in consultation with the President, uFg-
ing the adoption of measures calculated
10 heal The breach, between Congress
and the President and that acompro
mise has bsen effected by which G N sress
yields abe Co. slitutional Amend
ment and the President favors impair
tiali sufi age in the South, We do not
believe Judge Chase or any other promi
hent Republican has made any PROPOSE,
ton to compromise with the Presiden'
1t is undoubtedly true ;bat the SoutE
would favor anything rather than, adopt
the Constitutional Amandmen', Taat is
the platform on which the,great battles
we're fought 10 the recent campaign, and
that was the battle cry which gave Us
our victories. AS the battle has been won
we do not see the necessity of yielding
the ground on which we fought. This
4 Constitutional Amendment is especially
repugnant to the rebels, because il shears
them of much of their strength. i
I equslizes the bisis Of Representation in
! Congress placing both the North and tn,
4 South on an equal fo1tiug 10 this respect
] It destroys the two fths rule by which
they would loose about thirty members
| Of Congress which iseepecially desirable
10 the friends Of freedom and distas.eful
. 10 tbe rebels, They say it is aking then
TO dislrapchise1 themselyes. 5u We hope
and bslievs sGongrsss will have the back
bone to stand up and tell item this Con
stitu'ional Amendment is the ultimatun
d that they want 10 forever destroy III
