within his reach. His sfHcial power and pa
tronage have been freely summoned TO his aid.
He has vetoed measure after measure of Con-
gress, even when passed by two thirds vote
"a proceeding which he himself is upon re-
cord as denouncing as a violation Of the spirit
of the Constitution. He has not hesitated to
stigmatize Congress itself as 4" a body hang
ing on the verge of the Government, and to
attempt to control its action by denouncing it
before the people. His attempt to create State
Governments in the late Rebel States was an
attempt to exercise the highest functions of
the law-making power and his effort to give
them validity as members of the Union was
an effort to settle the terms of reconstruction
after his own will. His last movement is an
attempt to substitute his nwu "opinion," put
into the mouth of facile agent, for a solemn
act of Congress. He does not propose to exc
cute the law as it is, but as he would like it
to be.
Now in all this there is an attack upon the
fundamental principle of our entire political
system, more open, deliberate, and persistent
than anything heretofore attempted in this
NouhhJ' ~ 10 anu pbIS6V6T-
ing attempt of one man to make his will the
law. 1t is an attack upon the Constitution Of
the most hagrant character. It strikes at its
very essence. 1t touches our political system
in its vital point. Mr.. Johnson's triumph in
this wicked contest would go far to unsettle
the foundations of our political structure. 1t
would be a victory of the one-man power over
the popular power more dangerous than Sc
cession ITSELF for secession is nothing but open
revolution while this would be change in
the system from popular to despotic rule.
Mr.. Johnson pirates of his devotion to the
Constitution, but he either fails totally to COM
prehend the spirit of the Constitution, or else
he is its conscious and bitter enemy. In either
case, he is doing all that he can to sap its foun-
dations and to destroy its superstructure.
The Republican party in this great fight is
not only the party of liberal principles and
intelligent progress, but it is even more em-
phatically the party of the Constitution. 1t
seeks to preserve our political system in its
purity as a system of popular rule, opposed
to all despotic or aristocratic rHle. 1t is thus
at the same time truly conservative and truly
progressive-the party of liberty and the
party of law.

The CoPPERHEAD papers are denouncing
General Sheridan for disobeying the order of
the President, constituting his letter to General
Grant as disobedence of orders. But the
General was not requested to execute the
order if he had good reasons to the con-
trary. When a commander gives subordinate
discretionary order, he merely expresses a
wish that the thing should be done in a certain
contingency, but, at the same time, leaves the
execution of 1t to the discretion of the officer,
under the supposition that, being on the ground
he can act more judiciously than his superior
thousand miles away. This was the position
of the President. He gave General Sheridan
discretionary order. General Sheridan did not
see fit to obey it unless it was made absolute,
as he happened to have 'good reasons to the
contrary" We now see that the President did
make it absolute, aud that General Sheridan
did obey it.

Our WEST, where they never do things by
halves, the Copperhead papers call Sheridan
''little drunken upstart" for daring to have any
opinions adverse to those of Mr.. Johnson.

DAWN OF THR POLITICAL MITLHUEIUM.--The
Presidents speech at Baltimore recalls TO us
vividly the admirable Grafton of the immortal
wilkins Micawber, on the occasion of his
reunion with his family and reconciliation
with Mrs. Micawber. Mr.. Johnson was fondly
beaming on all those who were within the
reach of his smiles sewardsfor optimism was
nowhere. According to the President, every
thing North and South is lovely. He said:-
THE other day, in connection with my dis
guished associates, 1 visited the State which
gave me birth, and a few days after my return
10 washington, In company with the same as
sociates set out on visit to one OF the cities in
the far East; and permit me to say that my re-
oeptton, both North and South has been of that
good-fellowship aud reconciliation between the
TWO sections OF the Union. Thank God IL is SOL
Now that the era of good will has commenced,
charity, in order to a closer fellowship"
Pecksnif beaming at the potato on his
knee, and Micawber rejoicing when some
thing turned up, are but feeble compared with
the Presidential benediction. His whole ora
ton was on the "Bless-yo you-my- -children-be-
happy" order, and proves that June is better
month for travelling than August. ALI this
would be very pleasant if it was true, but it
seems that all the goodwill is on the side of
the North, for the South, while she may pos
sess fraternal affection, only exhibits 1t by
numbering or exiling her Union residents.

love,
