such are the terms upon which these
would-be dictators ask TO be reconciied
with the Chief Magistrate of the Repub-
lie. It viii be seen that they embrace,
under the guise Of a compromise between
conflicting views in the ranks of the
party 10y which ANDREW JOHNSON WAS
elected, a substantial abandonment Of
his policy Of Reconstruction, and the
virtual spoliation and measurement Of
the southern people. In ease these terms
are not accepted, he is threatened with
the ire Of the "loyal millions who,
he is told, is now a compact and fiery

that the country may see what this
compact and fiery aggregate is going

! defy their attempt at o-verthrowing the
! Constitution and usurping all the powers
of the Government We need not say
that ANDREW JOHNSON, having based
his policy upon principle, VIII not ahan-
don it. He relies upon the PEOPLE TO
sustain him. They VIII do it.

Coon EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENTS
VETO IN TEXAs.-The Galveston Nel0s
has information that should the radicals
succeed in breaking down the Presidents
policy, numbers Of houseb0ldersi in Texas,
and nearly all the young men viii mi
crate to foreign countries. Private let
tiers from prominent gentlemen in various
parts Of Texas state that nothing but the
Presidents veto prevented them from
carrying out this determination.
GENERAL TAPPAN.-The remains Of
this gallant soldier were consigned to
earth with masonic Hon0rs, at Vicks-
burg, on Friday last. WeIearn from the /
Herald, that he had been for thirty or
forty years identified with the interests
Of Nicksburg, and had acquired a strong
hold upon the confidence of its people.
Few men led a more blameless life. In
"A good old age he has gone TO rest, leav-
ing a sp0tless name and a noble example
behind. A brave man and a worthy cit
izen sleeps in peace.

A private letter from Washington, re-
ceived by the editor Of the Nashville
B0THer, contains this OH dI. d" Tt is ru-
morel that Stanton viii resign. I don't !
know how true it is, though the chances r
that IL is correct. He is certainly j
the most efficient friend the radicals pos !
ses-, and is working for them night and 7
day. If he does quit The Cabinet il is Q
likely that Gen. William r. Sherman Z
win be offered The portfolio ofwar. Gen.
Grant and the President are quite in ac-
cord, snd whoever IS appointed viii De a }
JOINT selection. ]
