WHEN DID l EVER DESERT A PRINcI-
PLET'-Mr. Andrew johnson delivered a
radical speech of the worst kind against Presis
dent Andrew johnson in the United States Sc
nate on the 10Th day of December. There can
be no doubt whatever that he then thought
that Rebel States were no better than provin-
ces, for he said, with positive trankness on
the subject that has not since been equaled:
"Suppose Louisiana was now out Of the
confederacy (Union,) holding the key to the
Cult, the outlet to the commerce of the great
West, under the doctrine laid down by these
Ministers, and practlced by the Congress of
the United States, would not this Government
have the right, in obedience to the great
principle OF sef-preservation, and for the safe
ty OF our institutions, to seize it and pass ii
under the jurisdiction of the United States,
and hold it as province, subject to the laws OF
the United States? | say it would The same
principle applied to Florida. The same prin.
ciple would apply to South Carolina n
If South Carolina was outside of the confeder-
acy (UniOn,) an independent power, having nc
connection with the United States, and our in.
stitutions we're likely to be endangered and the
existence of the Government imperied by hel
remaining separate and independent power
| say we should have the right OF
the principle laid down by Mr.. Mason, MIR
| Buchanan and Mr.. SOule, and upon the prln
ciples practced by the Congress of the United
States in the case of Florida, to seize her, pas,
her under the jurisdiction of the United
States, and hold her as a province. ~ Con
gressionat Globe, ID Sess. Both Congress, pag,
1873.
1t is for something less than this that Mr.
johnson calls Thaddeus Stevens and Charlie
Sumner traitors Yet here we have it, in blacl
and white, that Mr. johnson, quite before tn
war, when he had best reason to be conserva
tive on State Rights, held that the Unite,
States had right to seize South Carolina
Louisiana, Florida, or any other Rebel States
and hold them as provinces subject to the law
of the nation. Let every one read this liyel
record, and then studiously inquire, in view q
the Presidents not ceasing to Swing roun
the circle" When did Mr.. johnson eve
desert principle, and why should Mr.. Steven
. be hanged?
