Regatta OF the H0bokeu Yacht Club.

New-York tribune., 1867-09-14

The President, if his kitchen council are to
be believed, intends to act a lvelier part than
that of chief barnacle on the ship of state.
We hear threatening murmms among the
bamacles, and Washington is as full of this
bamacle gossip as a rocky shore at low water
What are they going to do? 0yertun Con
gress, Grant, the Army, the People, and so
forth9 Something of this kind is evidently
proposed. The statement that the President
intends to take up arms against q" the sea of
" troubles" with which Congress cOnfronts him
appears to be reiterated in the letter of
one of his confidential supporters, which
we publish among our Washington dispatches
1t is not so plain that By opposing them Mr.
johnson is going to end them. But the rumor
that he intends to assert the amnesty doctrine
to the uttermOst, to carry cOnstitutiOnality to
a crisis and to prorogue Congress- has some lit
tie color Of authenticity. If the object of our
Executive, as limited by his letter writer, be to
die game by all means let him die
New-York tribune., 1867-09-14
MR.. JOHNSON AND HIS BETRAYERS

Before Andrew Johnson had been three
weeks President, Shiny, insdiOus creatures, who
had instinctively hissed whenever his name
had been mentioned during the two or three
preceding years, crawled through by-ways and
up back stairs to his ear, and beguiled him to
his ruin, with assurances that he was still re-
garded by the Democratic party as one whom
accident had temporarily alienated from its fold,
but who was in heart and purpose still
Democrat, whom his old party was ready to
recognize and follow as a leader. They told
him that he was destined to reunite and restore
TO power the Jackson Democracy, and thus
earn its gratitude and triumphant support in
the next Presidential election. We know and
can name the men-COppcrheads of the most
malignant type-who whispered these flatter-
ing messages into his eager ear, and received
his confidential assurances of sympathy and
favor. AT once, his furious diatrbeS against
