Nrw voRK nAny TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER A, 1867

ccedings of their late meeting, make this at
tempt to accommodate them a pretext for fur
ther resistance When they were asked to
leave the City, they protested that they would
not be driven out; now that they are cOaXed
to stay where they will not breed a pestilence,
they protest that they will not be sent where
some one will make money by their location!
We fervently trust that they may remain of
this mind, and 60 off the island altogether.
For, though the Twelfth Ward AbattOir is
cleanly and healthful, and likely to remain so,
it will be found in practice that butchering will
not be confined to this, but spread all over the
two upper Wards. The Board of Health have
done wrong in allowing it so far down as
Fortieth-st. They should have sent it up to
Sixty first st. at once, if not ready to exclude
it from the island. We beg the butchers to
be sulky and resolve not to stay on any terms.
There is fine AbattOir at COmmunipaw, on
the Jersey shore; let them establish another
at Spuytenduyvil, and another yet at Fort Lee.
But let our citizens generally resolve that nei-
ther bullying in New-Yo nor money spent
corruptly at Albany, shall suffice to keep the
butchering business in our compactly built
Wards, where it has already slain more chill
dren each year of the last thirty than Herod
put to death in all Judea.
New-York tribune., 1867-09-04

The Board of Audit is making a hopeful
start. Without waiting to know whether it is
a lawful organization, it draws upon the people
for nearly forty thousand dollars to pay salar-
les not earned, and clerk-hire not hired. Mayor
Hoffman very properly vetoes the bill which
the Supervisors found it so easy to pass. The
Mayor, in giving his reasons, uncovers nice
little arrangement whereby this Board of
Audit makes the most of its chance at the
Treasury. 1t seems that the Board discovers
itself to be two boards that it is one board
for the city, and quite another board for the
county and 80 its estimates for salaries and
expenses are based upon the theory that rs
two boards the members and clerk may take
double pay-that the law which gives them
ten dollars each for each day of actual ser
vice" may DO made to give them twenty dol

THE DUTY OF TIE CoUNTRY-THE PRESL

THE DUTY OF THE COUNTRY-THE PRESI
DENTS POWER MUST BE BROKEN.
We trust the friends of the country will not
be lulled into false hopes in reference to the
President. A careful study of his character
and of the principles governing his Administra-
ton makes us feel that as a ruler he is not to
be trusted, and that he must be watched with
suspicion and anxiety. We do not say a word
in derOgatOn of the dignity of the Presidential
office. That Office is so exalted, and its powers
so vast and far-reaching, that we owe it to our
children that it should not be wantonly degraded
The President has degraded it, He has made
his Administration shameful page in our his
tory. The country must not permit the page
| to close without proper recOmpense. Our
rulers may dishonor their Office. We must not
dishOnOr ourselves.
Andrew johnson stands forth among public
men as the Gigantic Demagogue of America
This is saying good deal when we consider
the manner of men the nation has at times
produced. Aaron Burr, Calhoun, Van Buren,
Pierce, Douglas, and Buchanan, are enough for
one century. They had redeeming qualities
Mr.. johnson has shown none. His devotion to
the Homestead law, as Senator, was noticeable.
Men did not fail to see, however, that while
this devotion was forced upon him by his class
he sustained in John c. Breckenridge party
that aimed to reduce his class below the Level
of the negro slave. While he professed to give
labor home, he votedsto have it sold on the
auction block. When the War came, he gave
the Union cause mild and incoherent support.
In this, also, he followed his class, and we pre-
sumo he was not slow to follow it by reason
of the indignities he received from the
men who created the Southern Confede-
racy. He was made Military Governor
of Tennessee, and was roaring Radical.
He ruled his State with more sternness than
any of our military commanders He raved
about the Union and the negro, proclaiming
himself the Moses of the colOred race, its friend
leader and champion. The people made him
Vice-President. Peace came; and in the first
sunny, healing hours of peace this demagogue
roared for war. The sword had done its work
he shrieked for the scaffold. He wanted new
Jeffries in the South, and Bloody Assize in
every State. The spirit of Vengeance had no
more insatiate disciple. If his advice had been
taken, our victories would have been as inhu.
man as those of EscObedO and Diaz. Gods in
scrutabe Providence made him President, and
the demagogue who urged Mr.. Lincoln to play
the part which has been so eminently illus
tratcd by Juarez, himself sought to repeat the
treasons of Charles the Second and the obstinate
cructies of James. Power transformed him
from the Dcmagogue OF Radicalism to the
Demagogue OF Slavery His purblind, barrow
vision saw only in the South so many elec
toral votes that might be "conciliated.n
