The Impeachment and Removal Of Andrew
johnson as n Presidential Game.
1t has been charged by the enemies of An
drew johnson that on taking the oath as Presi
dent Of the United States, April Is, 1865, he
became candidate for another term; for that
otherwise, with the rebel States left broken up
by the war and with over seven months inter
vening to the regular meeting of Congress, his
first official act would have been to call an
extra session of the two houses to relieve him
Southern reconstruction.
Starting from this point of departure, let us
see what is the radical theory Of Johnson's
alterations from the true faith down to his i'm
parchment; for thus we shall unquestionably
reach the predominant radical necessity for his
removal. His original calculations, it has been
alleged, were these That in getting the sub
iugated rebel States, in the absence of Con-
gress, reconstructed on the basis of the consti
tutional amendment abolishng slavery, any
little Irregularities or concessions prejudical
TO the black race would be overlooked by the
two houses on coming together, in view Of the
paramount object of Southern restoration; that
thus, having all the glory Of this achievement
the votes of these eleven restored Southern
States would be his, in Congress and out of
Congress, for another term, against all con-
ingcncies and that with this nucleus to build
upon he could manage his recollection in 1868 as
the republican or democratic candidate IL is
next charged that, failing to obtain December,
1869 recognition from Congress of his MEM
bers elect from the rebel States, and discover
ing that the dominant radicals of the two
houses were dead set against his whole policy
Of restoration, he resolved to fight Congress
ard to make il The interest of the democratic
party not only to support his policy, but to
adopt HIM as their Presidential candidate for
1868.
The Philadelphia National Johnsonian Con-
servative Convention of 1866, it is next charged,
int n1 N off hot fbo
Northern democracy and the administration on
the basis Of Mr.. Johnson's Southern policy
against the policy of Congress as defined in
the constitutional amendment known as Article
XIV. But the bad luck Of that Chicago pill
grimage of September of the same year, and
the misfortunes to the administration of the
Memphis and New Orleans massacres, and the
popularity of that constitutional amendment
carried the country overwhelmingly for Con-
gress from Maine to California. From this
point, it is charged, the policy Of Mr.. Johnson
was narrowed down to Instructions and embar-
easements looking to the Supreme Court against
Congress, and still keeping his eye upon the
democratic party as the Presidential candi-
date. Thus proceeding, step by step, against
the reconstruction schemes Of Congress, it is
coniectured that from the radical defeats in the
elections of 1867 and from the failure of two
attempts at impeachment, he was at length EN-
boldened to risk the experiment of Stanton's
removal from the War Office in the teeth of
The Tenure of Office law.
! Now, assuming all this to be true (and so
far as the inspirations of radical hostility to
Johnson are concerned it is all true), what fol-
lows? Only this, that the conflict between John
son and Congress since December, 1865, has
been conflict for the Presidential succession
Johnson, falling back on his constitutional
rights, has been laboring TO break down the
