hcans of Europe. We know where John
BrighPs sympathes were during the gIe~
struggle between freedom and slavery IN TINS
country; but ,Ohere mere George II. PendletOH'sF
Notice, too, the almost ludicrous inOOnSo
quenoe of the closing paragraph Wno'o sn'
function of the Democratic party III 'u,9 w.
try is stated. After recitng what the Liberals
are doing in England, France, RUSSIA ana
Aus+r;o be adds.-"There is such party in
America to-day and it'-does what Advo-
cstes. the extension of the suffrage like the
liberals in England Believes in doc
trines of liberty and equality like those who
in France ''oause sleepless nights at the Tuile-
ries ?" By no means-it is not "suoh party
as that. 1t insists upon a rigid adherence to
the provisions of our written Constitution, and
TO the primary elemental principles of the
equality Of the States ~ o lame and impo-
tent conclusion What is there of European
bitterest English Tory or French absolutist
might say as much. Adherence to the Consti-
tuition means adherence to the Democratic in
depreciation of it, And what is that interpreta-
tioni Read it in the Dred Scott decision and
in the Fugitive Slave bill
But, fourthly, Mr.. Pendleton does not hold
up to this republican idea which he partially
adopts in the extract which we have quoted.
He falls from grace before he gets halfway
through with his speech. The chief indict-
ment that he brings against the Repub-
lican party is its extension of the suffrage.
He abandons the entire basis of popular gov
eminent, and defends the will of the minority.
Thus he deOlaims most vehemently against
the extension of the suffrage, because it will
place the political power of several of the
Southern States in the hapds of the majority.
This he stigmatizes as 'the degradation of
the Government to the level of these voters,
and the destruction of the value and purity of
the ballot by comforting it so lavishly ON all
Sides"
Here we have the precise argument and
almost in the exact words, of the English con-
servatives in opposing the extension of the
suffrage there. 1t amounts simply to denial
of the capacity of the people for self-govern-
ment. Yet this is the man who started out
with likening the Democratic party of this
country to the Liberals of the Old World
There are some other points in this speech
that we should like to comment on and had
intended to do so, but we have already ex-
ceeded our limits, and must defer any further
criticism to future occasion.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-07-20

over minor points. He seizes on bubbles and
magni6es them into enormous invasions of the
Constitution. It is puerile in the extreme,
and utterly unworthy Chief Magistrate. We
have to blush for the intelligence which would
seek to deceive the country by such a string
of fallaoies. Thus, in one place, Mr.. Johnson
says, speaking Of the ratification Of the amend
ment abOlishing slavery
"The last act on this subject was passed July
%, 1866, by which every one Of these ten States
wss arranged iuto districts aud circuits they
have been called upon by Congress To act
through their Legislatures upon at least two
amendments to the Constitution OF the United
States; as States they have ratified one amend
nenL, which required the vote OF twenty seven
States Of the Lhirty-six then COMPOSING tne
were given in favor of that amendment, seven
of which votes were gwen by seven OF tneseten
States. IL was proclaimed TO be part OF the Con-
stitution of the United States, and slavery was
declared no longer TO exist within the Unit
States or any place subject 70 their Jurisdiction
at these seven States we're not legal states Of
the Union IL follows, as an inevitable conse-
quence, that slavery yet exists. IL does not
exist I'm these seven States for they have abo-
llshed it also in their own State Constitutions,
but Kentucky not having done so, II would
still remain in that state But, In truth, II THIS
assumption that these states have no legal
State Governments be true, then the abolition
of slavery by these illegal governments binds
no one for Congress now denies to these States
them the power to elect legal State Legisla-
ture, or TO frame a constitution for any purpose,
even for such a purpose as the abolition OF
slavery"
The absurdity of this is at once apparent.
If the ten Southern States we're not 'legal
States," then the assent of twenty-seven
States was unnecessary. If the ten Southern
States were no States, then there we're but
twenty. six and not thirty-six States in the
Union, and three-fourths of twenty-six is
twenty; so that instead of twenty-seven
asserting, only twenty were necessary, and
the law remains the same. If they were
States, then they have assented. If they were
not States, then whether they assented or dis
sented was matter of perfect Indifference.
ANY school-boy could see this, yet the Presi-
dent says that if they were not States, then it
would be impossible to get the assent Of three
fourths of thirty-six, because there were but
twenty-six bona fde States in the Union.
Taken all together, the Presidents veto is the
worst Of any we have yet been afflicted with,
for it savOrs not only of threatened despOtism,
but also of threatened idiocy.
