tho treason of Phillips, Greeley, &Co.
and that Of Davis and Slidell. 1t
says:
"The time will come--and we are
now rapidly approaching it--when the
odlum Of q wicked war which has cost
the nation so many valuable lives and
such vast amount Of treasure will be
laid at the right doors, and when tho

the North, and the violent and vim.

secessioists Of the South will be held
up to general execrahon as the origin

people are beginning to understand
this well; and If Greeley, Gerritt Smith,
Ben. Wade, Wendell Phillips, and men
Of that stamp IN the North, with Davis,
Mason, Slidcll, and their fellows in the
South, could be tried for treason and
sent out Of the country, it would be
only what they deserve, and would be
entirely satisfactory to the people.
The folly, partisanshlp, recklessness

Now with the timo upon us that calls
for the the entire income ofthe farmer,

fact comes to be one ofvital impor-

are beng wrung from them, will not
tolerate any party that winks ut, COW
ers up, or directly or indirectly cor
ceals these frauds. Nor will they
tolerate any organization that lacks
the courgage to expose and the power
to punish this rascality.
And yet partisan considerations arc
precisely what give impunity to the
rogues. Committees are appointed by
Congress, and one of these noarly

million Of dollars to the door Of an
official so high in Office and the affect

Early Life Of President Andrew
johnson

The Raleigh North Carolina) cor
rcs cspondent of the New Orleans Rcpu6.
licaH says:
Andrew johnson was born in the
upper story Of n kitchen attached to n
building known as "CGsso's Tavern" "
(which his mother was the house
keeper or stcwardess, on the night of
the 29th day Of December, 1903 A
daughter of Mr. Casso, tho proprietor
Of the hotel was married TO merchant
named Stewart in the early part oftne
evening and the dance in honor of the
wedding was progressing at the time
he first saw light. Tho bride, who
lived to a good age and died few years
ago, dressed the new conner in his
swaddling clothes. His father Jacob
Johnson, died four years alterward,
not from the effects of.iniuries received
in sa7mg the life .ofa friend, as has
been stated, but from the result of dis
sipation. The family were known as
"Rhamlottcrs," which is, l suppose, u
corruption Of the word "Ramsgato. y
They wero Of English descent, and
came to this country as laborers on a
military road which was built in l752.
3-'4 by Colonial Governor Lingon,
from Newburn TO Salisbury.
The original generation were honest
hard working laborcrs, but having no
money wherewith to buy stores, the
second generation were degraded INTO
what is now called "piny woods poor
white trash, class Of people who
phavc no principle, energy or manhood
about them. who have lived for gen
erations in the tumble down log huts
built by their earlier progenitors, with
the bare earth as afloor, and who have
no visible means of support. Mrs.
johnson, his mother was n woman of
rare ability for one of her class, and
through her influence Jacob Johnson,
his iathcr, was induced 10 obtain labor
IN the city Of Raleigh, and when he
dod she apprcuticed her son Andrew,
then about thirteen years old, to n mer-
chant tailor named James Selby.-
James Litchford, who is yet alive, was
then the cutter or foreman Of the shop.
lie says that Andrew was not good
boy. and yet not a very bad one, and
tells many interesting incidents OF his
"boy Tho rest Of his history IS
well known to the world at large, and
! it is only necessary to and that the
people here, although they have obse
quiously built a monument over his
fathers eravo, remember only the part
of which | have written above, They
look upon him as q poor white trash

The Prospect this ran.

Not in, many years has there been
SO fair a prospect of the Democracy
carrying Ohio as there is now. All
over the State the impression widely
prevails that tho Radicals will be
routed, "horse, foot and dragoon," and
that both the negro suffrage amend
ment and the State ticket, which
sustains 1t, will be badly beaten. We
have found, by experience, that such
premonitlons, when they extensively
prevail, are the best Indications in the
world of a favorable result. The
reaction so long looked for in tho
public opinion is coming fast, and the
day of Radical violen CO and ultralsm
is nearly over, Its sun will soon set,

are now bright in the political firm
