New-York tribune., 1867-08-28

COliaK and Mr.. Sherman preNaAeu' II ""'
held that with law thus plainly written mo
President would walk directly, and the South
would be restored. This assurance, indeed was
given 10y men who claimed to speak 1or the
President, Congress believed it, and again ad-
iourned over until Winter.
Now comes the second crime. SianbrIy can
not explain the law Blue is 50 palpably blue
that there is no making even the President be-
liove if n he gray, The President has the best
mart of q wear before him. Since he cannot
nullify the law, he persccute5 ITS ministers.
Stanton is stricken down. The War Sec
rotary. who has been retained two years
for Lis disagreeaLlo qualities, is removed
for bis virtues. Because of the only quality
which the Republican party honors in Stanton,
be ia disgraccd. Then comes Sheridan. This
glorious soldier simply performs a soldiers
duty. lie executes tho law in its true spirit.
He does the work which the country expects
him 20 do, aud is dismissed. A few days pass,
and Sickles is removed for loyal devotion 70
Congress and the country A Tammany Dem
ocrat il placed in Ncw-0rlean5, while
soldier without a record goes TO
Charleston. In few days Pope will bo ordered
back TO the Indian country, to assist Sheridan
in guarding suffers posts and baggage trains.
Grant has served the Presidents turn in re-
moving Stanton, and his EXcellcncy Is I'M
patient already, calling the General OF our
armies "a Radical spy and traitor lie VIII
no doult speedily be asked TO retire in favor
of Stcedman or Black. That Christian gentle
man and soldier, Howard, who has shown in
his high place the philanthropy and piety OF
tho great name he bears, is written upon the
slate of degradation. Holt will follow-and
with these men every soldier Or civilian who
will not aid the President in his treason.
Where will this end? The President means
war. Tho country must stand and fight, or be
defeated. We believe anything possible Of Mr..
Johnson His Administration IS record OF
deception cunning, disloyalty -antagonlsm to the
best interests of the country. lie has ma"e
the Administration of Buchanan rcspec-
table by showing a degradation to which
even Biz Buchanan could not sink. He has
betrayed his party; he has betrayed MS
friends; he ha, betrayed his country.
Nothing is left OF hi, Administration
but few miserable jobbcls like those who
hang around him, and a few wretchcd political
adventures Ike Black. The men who ac-
ceptcd contumcly for his cause, like Seward
and Randall. and Wellcs, he i inpatient to
drive out of his Cabinet The savage of Sahara
is not insensble to the obligations Of friend
ship; but even this no longer remains with Mr.
Johnson.
We admOnish the people to prepare for a
stern and high responsibility. IL Is nearly a
hundred days until Congress, meets. Till then we
are powcrleos. We can only bow 70 this dread
full tyranny The President appealed 10 the
country in his last message. We join him in
the appeal. Let ON friends organize every
where. Let us make the canvass upon the
infamy of Nr. Johnson's Administration and
having defeated him at the ballot-boy, we can
prepare, through our representatives, to con-
slider the best course 10 he taken 20 punish him
for his crimes against the sovereign viii OF the
American people.
