Andrew johnson, in 1864, did his
best to defeat the Democratic party in
the Presidential contest, and to throw
the Administration into the hands OF
the Republicans. He accepted our NOM
nation, and made himself one of our
standard bearers in the fight against the
Democracy. Yet all this time he was
treacherously conspiring against his
own camp. ALL this time his purpose
was, as soon as he got into Office to turn
round upon the party whose platform he
had accepted, and to scheme for the res
toration of the party whose enemy he
had pretended to be. In the course of
the Impeachment investigation Mr..
Stanley Matthews, a Presidential cleo
tor, gave an account of remarkable
conversation, which he had with Mr..
johnson in Cincinnati, while the Vice
President elect was on his way to be in
augurated. .'He turned to me-" Mr.
Matthews testified, .sand said: You and
1 were 'old Democrats. I said, Yes
He then said, i will tell you what it is:
if the country is ever to be saved, it is
to be alone through the old Democratic
party If the Democratic party was
the only hope Of the country, why did
he not support Mcclellan

As to our political course, we have moth
ing to promise, only reference to the
past by which we desire to be judged
in the future. We shall always be
found standing by the Law making pow
or OF the Country, and opposed to Elk
ecutive usurpations and Executive deO-
IL opments. Our readers will pardon
us for seeming egotisim, when we
remind them that official patronage, in
the shape of Fat Office, as a reward for
treason to princir lie, was rejected and
spurned by as -preferring to live on a
crust earned by honest, hard labor, and
devotion to that which we believed to be
RIGHT, rather than "roast beef and
plenty gotten by sacrificing patriotism,
duty and self respect. Ifthis is suf

the members of that party to sustain the
Palladium by subscribing for it, and Civ

Our terms are two dollars, in advance.
We shall endeavor to make it worth
That sum, at least, and if it is worth
more than that to the subscriber, moth

Our thanks are due to those who have

PRoFUNDIrY IN LAw.-Sam Patch once
said some things can be done as well $
Others and, in the appointment of our
distinguished M. c. as one of the 'man-
ayers of Impeachment, the query arises:
was he selected for his legal acumen
for that position? The answer to that
question is patent to all who know his
success as lawyer at the Wayne Coun
ty bar for about twenty years. During
all that time, he was considered mere
tyro, and he never was employed to con-
duct an i'm Important case during all that
time; but hold! we will take that back,
for he did employ himself to hunt up and
ferret out defective deeds to property
houses that sheltered the wives and
children of some of our hard working
citizens, who earned and sate their bread
in the sweat Of their faces and this dis
tingulshed lawyer succeeded in several
cases Of this sort in filching some of
their money from them, and by that
course put fees for the job into his
own pocket Aside from this despicable
labor, he was considered by all to be a
failure at the BART wasn't his forte
Then, why was he selected? The
answer is foreshowed in the quotation
above from Mr.. Patch. In the course
Of human events, creation of capital be-
came necessary, and the position was
sought and obtained solely to give him
prominence in the district, and help him
in the nomination. He no doubt thinks
that impeachment will not be over until
after the nomination for Congress is
made in our district, and we shall not be
surprised to hear of our distinguished
M. c. through his family organ, calling
upon Republicans to sustain HIM, under
the pretence that, by 50 doing, they are
sustaining impeachment! To such a
miserable shift is this political trader
and trimmer reduced.

StuItifying Themselves.

One of the most astonishing features
Of the Southern people is their unwill-
ingness to admit that they are indebted
to Northern genius, Northern enterprise,
and Northern industry, for all the mate
rial, mechanical, or agricultural advan-
tages they possess. They persistently
believe that they are superior race of
people that in the North the people
are race of vagabonds and lazaroni.
Yet every article of ingenious workman
ship, from the lady's tiny work-box to
the mammoth steam engine, is the result
of the skill and labor of the Northern
artisan and mechanic. They profess
that all the intelligence and states man
ship can only be found among the South
ern people; yet they know that all their
greatest statesmen received their educa-
ton in Northern institutions. They
know that their barren and desolate
fields cannot, under their system Of agri-
culture. compare with the rich and pro
ductive lands of the North, under a
more energetic and enlightened system
Of culture. Yet they pretend to stand
at the head of all decency, learning,
civilization, and christianity.
Owing to some strange idosyncracy,
or mysterious mental malformation, the
Southern rebel never has been able to
see the truth or to tell it; during the
whole war he acted upon the notion that
false reports of great victories were
about as good as the victories them
selves; and to this day he is incapable
Of reporting facts, and gives US instead
only such reports as his own passions
and prejudices dictate. Falsehoods an
swer very well to rush ignorant men in
to rebellion ;. falsehoods also serve to
give fainting heart new courage-just
as stiff horn of brandy momentrily en-
livens the confirmed drunkard-but in
the end the constant stimulous breaks
down the system, the victim of many
lies begines to put no faith in his lead
ers, and the cause kept up by falsehood
breaks down with sudden and startling
crash The rebels have pursued the
same stupid course in the political con-
tests of the last two years. They have
relied entirely upon vigorous lying. In
stead of controlling the negro vote by
decent treatment, they have spent their
breath in swearing that they would not
control it, Instead of behaving peace
ably toward loyal whites, they have out
ragged and prosecuted them, and relied
upon vigorous lying, to conceal the fact.
Instead of winning victories, they have
sent lying dispatches, declaring that
victories would be or had been won.-

vantion, published on first page of to-
days Palladium, will be found the ex-
cellent letter Of Mr. Colfax. He enun-
ciates the doctrine Of Republican saliva
ton. clearly, forcibly and convincingly,
ana, on the record established by the
great Union Republican Party of the
Comfy, we can 60 into the Presidential
Election, with the firm faith and reliance
that the glorious Party that stood by
the Old Flag, in despite of the efforts of
traitors South and sympathyzing trait
ors North, will continue to administer
the General Government on the broad
and comprehensive principle of equal
and exact justice to all men," founded
as it is on the immortal Declaration of
Independence.
In publishing Mr.. Colfax's letter. the

each Of the statements there made, to
the honor of the Republican party, is
not exactly and wholly true; aud, if true,
let him ask further whether any citizen
and voter Of the United States who, on
such a record, fails to vote for the Re-
publican party, is not necessarily want
ing either in patriotism or in intelli-
gence. Republicans allow themselves
to be thrown upon the defensive too
much and too often by the attacks of
our opponents Instead of following
with denial the petty bubbles and COM
plants with which we are assailed, we
need sometimes to stand forth in a pos
tive assertion of our achievements as a
party, and rehearse our hoEorab BILE and

this briefly and candidly, yet with tell
