SPECIFIC ENDORSEMENT. A meeting was held
in Louisville, Kentucky, last week which en-
Enthusiastically endorsed President J ohnson's pres
ent position. Some one, not particularly friend
ly to traitors, offered the following
Resolred FURTHER, That Andrew johnson, By
his unwayerIng devotion to the cause Of his
country, his patriotic and unyieldlug resistance
to the efforts of those who insIduousiy attempted
TO destroy the great work OF Washington and
his compatriots, manifested by blm from the
first dawning OF the attempt TO ALLEVIATE one
portion OF the country from the resi-, and 10 en-
feeble the sacred ties which linked together lis
various parts, is justly entitled to the warmest
thanks OF this nation, and the friends Of popu-
lar government throughout the globe.
This was altogether too hostile to treason to
please the meeting, and it was voted down al
most unanimously. President Johnson course
during the rebellion was not pleasing to these
reconstructed Democrats who are now frantic in
their approval of his present attitude

More Presidential Utterances.

[ We have had, during the past week, the usual
surfet of Presidential declarations of policy In
all these Mr. Johnson has reiterated his purpose
Of insisting his policy, and has declared that
those at The North who desire to secure equal
rights TO the Freedmen at the South, are no
| better than the rebels. Some sangulne he
| pubIicans look courage, from Gen. Cox's (ot
Ohio account of his interview with the Presi-
dent, to believe hat the President had not fully
committed himself in his warfare on Congress ;
but we c n extract nothing from that statement
except that the President insists on his policy
He has expressed regret for has harangue 10
the copperhead crowd at Washington and his
organ, the New York Times, applauds that
disgraceful speech as the greatest exhibition OF
craftsmanship. In of the Presidents dis
courses TO 4 delegation which called on him, lie
urged The Immediate admission Of Southern
representatives, and senators, on account or the
expansion Of the currency. lie said IN enlarge
ment 0f tie area IN which the currency circu-
ates would have the same beneficial result as
contraction Of its volume. Mr.. johnson seems
to have ridden his hobby OF reconstruction until
he has persuaded himself that the action OF
Congress in refusing to admit the Southern
Congressmen has actually put the late rebel
states outside the Union. If be would descend
from his theories to the region of facts, he would
ascertain that the currency now circulates just
much at the South as it Will after that por-
ton Of country IS represented IN Congress.
There is no currency there now but national,
ana it is used jus; freely as it would be if the
President had his desire and every rebel was
clothed with civil and political rights
But this shallow reasoning might be expected
from those who are endeavori0g to throw dust
il the peoples eyes, and blind them to the real
reconstructed. The President says 1t Is Con-
gress says it Is Mt. On this question the people
are with Congress and against the President.

President johnson made speech to some Bal
remarks used this language
So Extremists of both sections while pursuing
different means, labored steadily to the accom-
plishment of the same end-the destruction OF
the Union. So far the dissolution OF the
MON Is concerned, one Is as bad as the other.
hen the rebellion is put down, and we ind
party for consolidation and concentration, II Is
the spirit as rebellion, land leads to the
end--the destruction of the Government.
The party which the President daily now calls
the party for consolidation and concen ira ion.'
is the party which elected MIN Vice President,
and the only party which sustained the war
aga inst treason. The President now tells that
party that it Is just as bad the rebellion.
Why should MT rebels and copperheads rejoice
wheH the Chief Executive Of The nation tells
them that they just worthy and just
alone sustained the Government during the last
five years? President johnson thought and said
that the Republican party which elected Abra-
Ram Lincoln IN 1860 was a disuniOn party and
charge by expressing his opinion that the party
which elected him is a disunIon party, and a
traitor 10 the Government. Ii was thong bit that
the war had converted Andrew johnson from
the ideas and the policy of the South, and from
his own former opinions, but he seems to be the
same politician who used to denounce Republi
canism as disunionsm.

the enemies OF the Bureau have taken courage
from the veto and are more hostile than ever to it.
1t has also reports from various points showing
that the Southern planters are beginning to

that it alone has enabled them TO, in any man

JUDGE CoLLAMER OR RECoNsTRHCTIoN.-Ihe
views vi the late Senator Colamer, he ex
pressed them in some of his last words IN the
Uuited States Senate, were positive on the right OF
CongIe-s 10 decide when and under what condi-
lions the late rebellious States should resume
their regular condition in the Union.
- W hen he asked when will and when
ought Congress 70 admit these States as being
IN their normal condition ;" '' 1t is not
enough" said he, "that they stop their hOstil-
itv, ana are repentant. They should show fruit
meet for epentance-they should furnish to us
by their actions some evidence that the condition
of loyalty and obedience Is their true condition
again and Congress must pass upon 1t, other
wise we have no securities. And | insist that
the President, by making peace with them-lf
you please by ceasing military operations
does not alter their status until Congrts passes
upon 1t.
Again, ne says, :. believe that when reest ib-
isning the condition OF peace with that people,
Congress, representing the United States, has
power II ending this war, any other war, TO
get some security for the future. 1t would be q

a New THEoKY.-A meeting was held in New

Johnson's policy, which passed resolutions, very
carefully worded expressing confidence in him,
and also in Congress. Senator Doolittle ad-
dressed the NEE ting, and in the course Of his
speech developed the shocking idea that, as the
blacks would nearly all die before 1870, there
need of any constitutional amendment
changing the basis Of representation Doohttle
understands the Presd ents policy ana ought
to be able to Judge what effect it will have upon
the three four mill .ons Of colored peop'e at

kind of protection it furnishes for the freedmen.
