THE shadow of Andrew johnson

THE shadow of Andrew johnson
has fallen on the Radical organ in
this city, and thrown his faculties
INTO Cimmerian darkness. 1t is
frightened, and its wits are wool
gathering. Itgibbers nonsense like
child at night, made idiot with
fear at the story Of Jack the Giant
killer 1t has heard that the ex-
President expressed an opinion that
"a certain conservative friend"
would make fit member Of the
Supreme Court and discovers in this
laudabIe and wholly permissible
remark, that he is continuing con
spiracy to pack that body, with a
view Of legally uprooting things
IA Tennessee 'reconstructing' the
State government, out and out
making some other conservative
friend Governor and number
Of them members of the Legisla-
ture; and himself to swoop, like an
eagle from his mountain peak, into
the United States Senate, there to
beak and claw and rend and tear,
till the remotest confines of Rad
icaldom resound with the shrieks Of
his victims.
Calm yourself neighbor. Several
of these things may happen in due
course of time, but not through
the organization Of a Supreme
Court, nor will Johnson or the
Democratic party condescend to do
what in your perturbation, You
have been 80 incautiOuS as to advise
your judicial convention. They
will never, in the election of a Su-
preme Court, look to " the majority
on arbicb the State Is 70 be corried
in a subsequent election forpolitical
office nor advise that a convention,
