TnAITORs TO YoTE.

We lay before our readers Acting Presi-
dent JouNsoN's latest stump speech, in the
shape of sweeping Amnesty ProcIama-
ton, which he had about az much authority
to iesuo as tho man in tho moon. This is
but another instance of his usurpation, and
in tho language Of cotem porary is only
"more aggravated because It is the exer.
else of an authority of which he has been
divesled by an act Of Congress-, unmistaka-
bic in its intent, and SO recognized by the
State Department" The main purpose for
which this proposed amnesty has been
issued is to afford pretext to the great
mass Of rebels in the.Souh TO vote, aud ia
but tho prelude to oomo high handed and
defiant movement, yet TO be disclosed.
