ClOseted with Democrats.

SO utterly alienated is President johnson
from the party that elected him. that no Re.
publican, Free Soil Democrat or Aboitiunist
thinks Of being admitted to his confidence or
asked for his advice any more than either Of
them would have expected to be consulted by
James Buchanan or Franklin PIERCE And
the latest news from Washington informs US
that "a caucus Of /" Democrats had selected
two of their number from among the Sena-
tors and two from the Representatives to wait
upon his Accidency to confer upon some
proposition, unknown to the loyal people of
the country. What the particulars of this
interview between conspirators are, no
respectable participant in politics may be
presumed to know but that the Apostate
and his Copperhead advisers mean mischief
to the country, it would be folly to refuse to
believe. Garrett Davis has already sbaduwed
forth the policy of the Border State Copper
heads, and that is ust what Thomas Florence,
the rebel editor of the Constitutional Union,
long since proposed to the Executive to do
acknowledge Congress composed of North
ern Copperhcads aud Southern rebels and if
necessary force to place them in posses
sion of the national Capitol. Indeed. we
have little doubt that johnson has contcm-
9
policy" and that he only refrains from doing
SO through wholesome dstrust of its sue
cess. These suspicious may appear extrav-
agant, but when a President of the United
States, who obtained his position by the
elective bullet of one rebel mailman, deserts
his party and curses that party's principles
as Andrew johnson has. and then goes over
body and soul, duly sober, coolly. calmly
deliberately, and with malice aforethought
into the com mpauionship and councils of such
party as is controlled by Fernando Wood
and George II. Pendleton, and the editorial
exponents of which are such traitorous vii
lains as Manton Marble, G. Chauncey Burr
and John Mitchell, we believe he would will
lingly put Robert f. Lee at the head of the
United States armies and assist in the nau-
guration of Alexander III. Stephens as Pres
ident of the Senate-if he dared to- This
reads as if we thought him bad enough tor
anything g-and we do Carson Appeat
We endorse all the above except the :. duly
sober" We give Andy the benefit of a
doubt on that point,

Stewards Diplomacy.

Viewing Seward's course and that of the
President from the same stand point, an anal
ogy is unmistakable. Both uncertain, full
of words that are only remarkable for sound,
and productive of no results further than to
amuse or puzzle those who have been taught
to believe that men in high positions must
inevitably possess talent. A lady friend of
ours said the other night, after reading the
correspondence between Seward and the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs =
Pshaw when Seward was young he was
simply brilliant without courage, and now
he only differs from his youth in having lost
his brilliancy. This correspondence, she
continued, "reminds me Of. the pen tourna-
ments of school boys writing back and forth
on given question, wherein the efiorrseems
to be who should write most and say least" 4"
We adopted her opinions of the man, and
involuntarily asked ourself what the man
has ever done more than to theorize. To be
sure he was for long time positive adhe.
rent of the Abolition party. and polished
preacher af its doctrines but when the time
came to carry out his opinions he was found
wanting and threw the whole responsibility of
the first act-the Emancipation Proclamation
upon Honest Old Abe.
His diplomacy in the Mason -Slidell affair
gave our Government a rich harvest of dis.
honor, and convinced England and all Europe
that either the United States Government, OF
Seward, or both, were very weak affairs. =
Since that time, what have we had under his
perfect system of diplomacy? We have
had protest upon protest against the oceupa-
ton of Mexico by the French and their En-
peror, elected to the throne before the war
tain was Napoleon of success for had not
General Scott, with a small army, whipped
them before p. This diplomacy continues.
The French continue in occupation, though
much against their interest to do so, but
can't conveniently leave until relieved by
Austrian troops. That done, and we shall
nave IOTc DTOltStS. anu ii new Tclpu vi up
lomacy will be upon us, to be continued until
Max has fixed himself snusly enough to defy
an ordinary army. If any good results were
to follow these puffy, smooth writings, none
would be more disappointed than Seward
himself. No. lie never expects anything
but an ingenious reply to his last most dip
lomatic dispatch 20
England, too, has worked him down to "a
hole They know just what will tickle him
far more than any yielding to his polished
demand for redress of wrongs perpetrated
during the late rebellion and consequently
instead of yielding to the right. which would
cost money. they send the immaculate diplo

words common to such papers. intended from
the beginning simply to amuse the masses
