So constant and cunning have been the de-
vices of the copper.johnsons to induce the be
lief that General Grants political sympathies
were with the Presidential Party, that some
little curiosity, not to say uneasiness, has been
created in the public mind on that subject.
While those who know Grant have never for a
moment doubted his position, and have only
laughed at the palpable failures of the Copper
heads to steal his livery to serve the rebels in,
there is large class of men who will read with
lively interest and satisfaction the emphati-
and unmistakable declaration of Gen. John A.
Logan at Galena on Saturday last We COPY
from the report of the Chicago Tribune.
Gen. Logan sa Id 'He could say he knew
Genral Grant well and intimately and he
knew all his hopes and sympathies were with
the great loyal masses of the nation. who. nv
their valor and their blood had saved the ma
ton. Whatever efforts might be made to have
it appear that he was in sympathy with Con-
perheads and rebels to turn the government of
the country over to traitors North and South,
he wished to say to the people here and ey-
erywhere that General Grant was entitled TO
the fullest confidence Of the Union men of
the country. General Grant was no politi-
clan and it was not his business to mingle in
the political discussions of the day; but every
military act Of his, all his military orders had
received the enthusiastic applause of the 10y
al men Of the country.
$ y
All who know General Grants opinions know
that LIE WAS OPENLY FOR THE CONSTITUTION
AL AMENDMENT PROPOSED BY CoNGREss.-
Not only that, but he knew of his own knowl-
edge thathe was earnestly for the civil rights bill
and had usedhis influence with the President
to induce him to sign it. He would further saw
that as far as General Grant is concerned, THE
ARMY WOULD BE USED TO ANY PROPER Ex-
TENT TO PROTECT THE UNION MEN OF THE
SOUTH AGAINST THE OPPRESSION OF Rebels
Mr.. Seward in one Of his jolly harangues
from the platform of the circus railroad train,
said, "Here's Gen. Grant, you all know where
he is. If you don't can tell you" We do
know now, and have learned nothing more not
less than we expected.

The Argus for Reputation.

During the last session of Congress Senator
Sherman introduced bill to authorize a new
issue of United States bonds EXEMPT FROM
TAXATION. The Republican press of the coun-
try at once and unanimously objected to
continuation of the policy, which however it
might have been justified during the war, is
unequal and no longer necessary. The Argns,
which had just begun to support President
johnson and his Cabinet supposing hat this
bill was recommended by Secretary McCul-
loch las it gas), walked straight into the trap
and argued at length in favor of the measure
Stick a pin there. The Argus favored and the
Republican party rejected proposition to is
sue new securities exempt from taxation
AT the Democratic State convention held
in this city month ago, a resolution was adj
opted, complaining of the exemption of out
standing United States securities from local
taxation, as unjust and oppressive The
Argus, which not long since favored contin-
uance of this unjust and oppressive" policy,
now leans so far the other way that it would
violate the word OF the nation, solemnly pledg-
ed in the hour of her distress--in a word
REPUDIATE The existing obligations of the
nation. Stick another pin there III 81 i
The particular mode of reputation which
the Argus now favors is that proposed by Mr..
Wilson OF Thomaston (Copperhead), Mr.
Garnsey of Bangor DemUohnson), and one
other member Of the House Committee on the
judiciary in the last Maine Legislature. The
plan of these gentlemen was for Congress to
levy taxes upon the coupons of the bonds
that is, to reduce the rate OF interest, to prom
Use to pay and $40 per cent, for example.
and actually pay after deducting the tax, only
6 per cent. m tao-.tt.
The Republican belief is, that the pledge of
the nation must be strictly kept The United
States of America cannot afford to play the
part of tricky and dishonest debtor. The
exempt securities must be ca He'd in as fast as
possible, and no more must be issued. The
Argus, and its party, would repudiate those
now i'll the hands of the people and issue more.
Voters of Maine! how many of you are will
ing to support such party as this?

When Texas was admitted to the Union
she brought with her public debt worth five
cents on the dollar. Mr.. Hamiin told us the
other night how that debt was paid. An ap-
preparation of $1O,O0O,OOO was tackled on to
the omnibus BILL purporting to indemnify the
new State for certain unfounded claims to
territory in New Mexico, with proviso devot-
ing the appropriation first to the extinguish-
ment of the State debt. This proposition COM
manded at first just six votes in full Senate
Day after day the number of those votes went

preparation passed. One day, while the mat
ter was still pending, suave gentleman ap-
preached Senator Hamlin, and asked him II
he would like to purchase some Texas bonds,
remarking that they were not exactly in the
market but if the Senator wanted some $780,
600 they could probably be obtained for five
| cents on dollar. Nothing was said about
Mr.. Hamlin's vote. 1t was only fair bust
ness transaction, ostensibly. Mr.. Hamlin de-
| clined to invest in Texas bonds, and voted
against the swindle until he saw it passed!
If this thing could be done with $10,OO0,0OO
what may the people of this country expect
to see effected with corruption fund of 3d.
OOO,O00O00? Congress wants to put this ques-
ton out of the arena of politics forever, by
making it part of our Constitutional COM
pact that no debt incurred in aid of insurrec-
ton or rebellion shall ever be recognized
This the President and his friends are unwill-
| ing to do.

President on this question?

A plain Answer to a Silly Question.

An Enquirer in Saturdays Argus pro-
pounds the following puzzle:
I am informed that Mr.. John Lynch has
written q letter in which he saws he voted
dqdiast an increase Of his pay as member Of
Congress and for the bounty to the soldiers.
Now both these propositions were included
in the same bill. He either voted for, or against
the bill if he voted at all. If he voted yea he
voted to increase his own pay. If he voted nay
he voted against the soldiers bounty. Which
horn of the dilemma does Mr.. Lynch take?
The editor of the Argus knows, though "An
Enquirer either does not or pretends not to
that these two propositions came up separate
~. Mr.. Lynch voted on the separate pre- posi-
tions' against the increase of pay and for the
bounty to the soldiers. When they afterwards
came up together, Mr.. Lynch voted against
them both. Every Copperhead Senator and
all but six OF the Copperhead Representatives
voted for the increase of salary. Mr.. LYNCH
refused to sanction it, although it came before
him at last coupled with measure which !, al
received his hearty approval and his vote =

All must unite in demanding secuT7ty Jor the
f,,,,,ro Wa mist have guarantees good and
sufficient against any future attempt to destroy
this Government whether in the exercise of a
nretended right, by open war, or by MORE ART
FITI, AND nsIDIoUs ASSAULTS against the prin-
ciples on which this Nation was founded. These
are points we cannot yield without danger and
dishonor; and WHEN THE SOUTHERN STATES
HAVE COMPLIED WITH THOSE CONDITIONS IN
GOOD FAITH, they will be in a condition to ask
association and fellowship with the loyal COM
monwealths of the country which they, desert
ed with such violence a ld scorn. UNTIL THAT
TIME, in my Judgment, it is wise to hold them
in strict probation.
We cannot go back to gather up the frag-
ments of the Union as it was; we must now re-
cognize the nation as it is, and make the ooh-

E-TncaiM's Principle aad Sohnson's EsoIicyo
We must give Mr.. johnson credit for not
having estimated the vulnerable nature of his
ar1nor, when he donned MY Policy" to fight
his battles in. If he could have seen how
ridiculous his pretensions Of following cut
the policy or Abraham Lincoln would appear
in the light of history, he would have hesitat-
cd long before he attempted to steal the man
tie of his llonored predecessor. Lincoln had
10 policy of reconstruction that was not sub
iected by his expressed words to the opinion
and action of Congress. He was aetuated,
from the beginning to the end of his career,
by one principle, and that was the will of the
people. Wherever the People led, he said he
would follow and execute; for any action Ia
ken, or policy announced, in advance of pub
lie opinion, would be sure to fail until sus-
tanned by the average sentiment of the peo-
pie. If they wanted slavery abolished, they
must indicate it through the press and their
elections. He would be ready to second their
desire by every means in his power. But it
was not his duty to instruct them what to do
or when to do it. They must take counsel of
their own hearts and judgments. He was
but the servant of the American people, plac-
cd at their head to do their bidding. This
was Mr.. Lincolnis principle.
In striking contrast to this manly and just
estimate of the powers and duties of the
Chief Executive of the nation is the arrogant
assumption Of Andrew johnson that he alone
is the government and that Congress is sub
ordinate to him, body hanging on the edge
of Government. "EIr. President" said Gen.
Logan, "the people will not submit to have
the rebel States admitted to immediate and
unconditional representation" "By God,
sir" replies johnson, "they SHALL submit"
Is this the language of an American Presi-
dent, or of an Eastern despot? Is tins the
sort OF sentiment the people have been accus-
toned to hear from their chief executive p
Does this sound like following out Mr.. Lin
coins policy? MIR. johnson lays down GER
tain plan by which ne thinks the Union can
be most speedily reconstructed. He KNOWS
that this plan is dramatically opposite to that
favored by the majority of the people; he
KNOWS that the principles on which it is bas-
ed are utterly hostile to the opinions and sen
timents of almost the entire loyal population.
Nevertheless he insists upon its adoption and,
because his commands are not obeyed, breaks
away from the loyal party which elected him
and which comprises two-thirds Of the voters
Of the North, joins himself openly and with
out reserve to the bad men, North and South,
who aided and abetted the rebellion, ard, I'M
der the single banner OF ''my policy takes
