csc are signs Of the times which are
wing of notice. 1t cannot be denied,
true, that the secret wish to neutral
IL the activity Of the ~Bonapartist Gov
eminent in Spain by IA state of revolution
il Spain, and thereby TO obtain a sort of
guarantee of the maintenance OF peace In
turope, may have an essential share In
tins recognition of the revolution in SpaIn;
but the progress, of which all this Is the
testimony, is zone the less for that. by
the European cabinets accepting The over
throw Of The Bourbon monarchy, and
Fastening to declare that they left the
Spanish people to constitute themselves
according to their own free will, they re-
cogniZed what formerly they shuddered
at-the right of a nation to decide It's
own destiny, the right of a revolution.
This is a great change IN comparison with
former times; thus the new right, which
was TO be inaugurated by the peace OF
1856, has ceased to be a mere theory.
The new right has been put in practice,
and will now be exercised by all s0Ver-
eigns, whether they received their crown
from a pIebiscite or from the Table Of the
Lord.
That this is apostasy according to the
old ideas about monarchy we readily adj
nit 10 the Conservatives, and we quite
understand their grief at such IA failing
off. But they should draw a lesson from
such facts-viz that kings have only
Welded to an inevitable necessity, and
that it is no longer possible TO drive Poop
les with a stick like a flock of sheep.

THE RUTLAND HERALD
FRIDAY. JUNE 3, 1865,
,.n,.on a. a Presidential ''""'-
date.

When t,o pm'r,ii' National ''~,s
mit,ee W,s in Washington a Tow weeks
since. the members thereof were invited
IA dine with Mr., johnson at the White
House. and many Of them accepted The
invitation. During tho dinner, III" con,
versation being Of politics, the position q
the country and the relation Of the par
ties, the fact Wa, mtimatod 10 the iresl-
dent that the Democracy might nay,
would be glad Ia, support him as their
next candidate for.. the Presidency. This
was accompanied with the further init
nation that Ia s6sure So desirable re'
suit, il would hr necessary Tor him To as-
sert himself in more determined and
emphatic manner than hc had heretofore
done. The difficulty in tho ease was ae'
cariing 10 their own statement, Us fol-
lows:
We can do nothing Tor you because
YOU DO nothing for yourself. You permit
your conduct TO b. regulated by the Rad,
zeal Congress, and by Secretary II War
who is unlawiully forced upon you.
These are 81 far an evidence of weakness
and want of courage, that your chances
will amount To nothing as long as
these facts can IN urged against you. The
Democratic party will touch nobody who
has not the power and the will 70 resist
the usurpation Of that radical rump of a
Congress and the power Of that bad man,
Stanton"
This, in substance, and much moro OF
the same sort, passed between the parties
and doubtless the hopes excited in Andy's
mind by this interview were the causes of
his attempted removal of the obstinate
Stanton and his advocacy of other meas
ures which necessitatel the presentation
Of articles of Impeachment against him.
And having done and endured so much
he is doubtless Of the opinion that he
should have his rewardeat any rate that
his claims upon the Democracy for sue
,cession to the Presidency should be re-
garded-if not madcl controlling in the
nominating convention
Bat the Democracy prefer a more pop
ular candidate, and, willing to desert
their own party il necessary, TO secure a
successful one against the Chicago nomi-
nee, We hardly think the manic OF the
great dissonter viii be mentioned in New
York at all, except Jas his career may serve
10 indicate a moral or alorn a tale, A. a
warning TO future political advcnturcrs
1t is hard TO predicate anything upon
man who has been as faithless TO promises
rs has the present incumbent Of the Pres
idential office; but it seems 10 us evident
that the Democratic party will have no
more bitter opponent than he, as sson a
he finds that politicians promises are
made to be broken. Ii lac is true TO his
antecedonts, it is scarcely possible that he
should not be offended by the deception
that has been systematically palmed OFF
npon him by the Democracy for many
of which that of the
National Committee is only small and :,
part, His past career too c,
we'll reminds Us Of what Johnson's capa- Il
,ilities for mischief are, and-defcatcd at u
he Democratic nominating convention :,
