advent Of President Lincoln and the bloody
years o. the rebeiiiou and Tho War, The coun-
try WAS justMcd IN The hope th2t the timc
ofin-conditiooed CA'ef Maglstrates was gone,
and that the new esa dawntns npon America
would also bless the land with Presidents,
whose hearts and minds were welded to The
great ideas and principles oi free civilization.
But VIC are doomed to gricTcus disappolnt-
ment. We are suddenly called upon to face
the fact, iu all Its dreary reality, that whilst
We 1ancied ourselves In tho plcnitudc Of peace
We are again on the brink Of war. =
It is Of little moment whether the Presi-
dents apostasy IL the result Of mental in
trinity. or Of evil counsellors, OF Of an in
fatuatcd belief TINT he viii be allowed TO
punish the loyal for the crimes Of disloyal
citizcns, or that having been himself ruem-
Der Of Congress, he may browbcat that en-
1iEbtened body as easily as Jefferson Davis
did the rebel Lordts Of Richmond. Thecon
try need hardly stop to investigate the
causes ofthc Chief Magistrates alterations,
but must concentrate all its energies upon
pa11yfng the bancful effects. Indeed, the
masses Of the loyal people must rise AGAINST
this veto Of measure intended as a bulwark
against slavery md treason. rs they rose in
| their might when The flag Of the Union was
first hauled down from Fort Sumter.
Like the South Caroliniaus and Tennessee
ans In former years tue President had been
disclosing pro-slayery procliyities, long be-
fore he struck this tatal blow Utterly In
capable or unwilling to make the cx~rebc1
States understand that they must lit them
selves up to the elevation Of free institutions,
he has actually behaved for some time past IS
ot the Union to the level Of the rebel rabble
ofthe South. Slr. johnson acts rs If New Eng
lane, the Middle States, and ths West, were the
conquered States and the rebel States the
conqueroEs as II the States that have fur
nished the heroes and the means to save the
Union, were now to be altogether subordf-
natcd to the Southern Con}edcracy. So mon
strous seemed this policy that people conld
not and would not bsltcre It. They conld
moi believe that the White House, still hal
lowed BY tbs glorious achievements Of Lin.
coln> was 60 soon and 20 foul1y to be desc
Grated. They could not believe that q 1nnr
lifted into power on account OF Ills loyalty

subseryiency to that of oppression They
could not believe that nun existed tn all ous

that he must not only eIpunge from the cal
