Mineral Point weekly tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1859-1868, 1868-09-23


One of the specious tales of the
Democratic orators. and of which they
make much use, as we hear. in be
nighted Democratic regions, is that
the rebels accepted the terms of re-
construction offered to them by the
North. and that. after having done 50,
the Republican Congress violated faith
and refused to admit their senators
and representatives. This is Doolit-
ties theory, upon which he justifies
his action in deserving his party. The
facts are that Andrew Johnson. in
1865. previous to the meeting of Con
gress, assumed the prerogative of de-
clarIng the rebel states without any
legal civil governments and he order
ed that new governments be estab-
Iished. prescribing who should vote
and who should hold Office. He also
stated the terms upon which. when
these State governments should be
framed. he would recommend their &C
ceptance by Congress. The rebels
organized as he had directed. but dis
tranchised every man, white and black
who had been loval to the United
States, and established governments
which were hut combinations of the
old rebel organizations. both being
otlicered by the same class of persons.
Congress met and refused TO recor-
nIZe these governments as republican
in form. or loyal in fact Whereupon
Andrew Johnson insisted that the
governments organized by his author
itv did not need any recognition bv
Congress and from that time until
the spring of 1868 he has been en-
gagged in resisting and opposing every
step made towards reconstruction,
and has devoted his labors to perpet-
uate his governments in those States.
Acting under his advice the rebels
have either refused TO vote. or have
voted to reject every proposition made
by Congress looking to reconstruc-
ton; and what has been done has been
done IN defiance of the rebels and Of
Johnson.
Tennessee. in 1866, accepted the
terms of reconstruction then offered
| by Congress, and her Representatives
were admitted the next dav All the
other States where Johnson had gov
ernments refused those terms, and the
rebels have rejected every PROPOSE.

while the Republican Congress has
been paying this $1,000, 100000 and
reducing the burden Of taxation by
lrsseuing the interest to be paid. they
have also abated large portion of
he Internal Reveuue tax, estimated
by Commissioner WELLS to amount to
67.269, 900 annually.
Notwithstanding all this. so Judi
ciou~ly have cur public affairs been
managed by the Republicans /, Con,

the history of our country when the
people were more prosperous than
now If taxes have been high, they
have had the means to pay them,
and. at the same time, add to their
personal wealth and comfort.
If the party that has done all this,
under the circumstances by which it
has been surrounded, Is not worthy
the confidence OF the people, what can
be thought Of that party whose acts
have rendered high taxes necessary,
and whose ambition for power led them
to attempt the destruction Of the I'm

Look around you, good reader,
and see how large a portion OF the

Examples are abundant in the hi
ographies Of eminent perSOnages in
various ages \ few instances may
suffice:
Socrates, at an extreme old age,
learned to play on musical lnstru,

for some of the rich old men in our
city. especially if they should take 1t

did nos do. but only learned to play
upon some instrument of his time,
