Some few fastidious persons have
thought that our structures upon Andrew
johnson we're in bad taste, from the fact
that he we're at the time the guest of the
city. We respect the opinions of friends
and those who spoke of the bad taste
profess to stand in that relation to US.
Though we are not teacher of man.
ners, yet we profess to clearly under
stand what good breeding is. That we
may err is very probable, for it's human
to do SO; yet we try, as nearly as posi-
BILE, to govern ourselves by the golden
rule Of doing unto others as we wouldex
pect to be done by under like cireum-
stances. As TO the matter of taste, we
would soy that it is true that A. J. is now
the CUES. of the city, but he is not
thereby our guest, nor, we say, could he
be under any circumstances.
1t would be burning disgrace and
shame upon any Southern gentleman to
allow Andrew johnson to enter the sa'
cred precincts of his family circle. His
presence is communicating as the most
despicable Of petty tyrants. He is the
author of all our woes, having brought
about-not indirectly but directiy-the
present state of affairs in this State and
the South generally, and now comes
among US again to boast Of what he has
done, or, as he says, to defend his record.
To have failed to hold this monster up
to the public gaze, that every one might
view him 10 bis past aud proper light, we
would have doubtless neglected to per-
form our duty as journalist to the public
If we had waited, as was suggested, until
Andrew johnson had departed from our
city, and then have spoken our thoughts,
it would have been lack Of manliness
most objectionable. We preferred to at
tack him before be came and after he ar
rived, so that he might have an opportu-
nifty, if be chose, before this people, whom
be has most upjustly Eronged, to pat his
record right. To wait until our sntag-
onist had turned his back, aud then strike
him, would have been covardly and pu-
siIlanimous; and we. pray God that,
during our whole public life that may
follow, no such disgrace will cling to our
editorial robes.
Let US have peace, friends, and turn
our attention to his Satanic Majesty, in the
embodiment OF Andrew Johnson, come
to SOW discord among US, that be may
reap an easy victory for himself.

fsssed. This we consider lie about the
meanest spirit that ever crept into the
heart Of man; and Andrew johnson has
been spending his life. and, in fact,
raised himself to the high position that
he attained as the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation, by making the people believe that
there was difference between poor
man and rich man--between man who
owned slaves and one who did not. This
appealing to the worst passions of our ma
ture has johnson preferred by which to
make his name, rather than win laurels
on the battle field, face to face with an
honorable foe.
In his speech, delivered in this city,
Andrew johnson says he thanks God
that mothers, sisters and children cannot
say that the blood of their kindred at.
taches to his skirts" Will this most
spotless OF all Gods creatures turn his
eyes back again and behold Mrs. Surratt
as she hangs upon the gallows in the Old
Capitol Prison yard, in sight of vulgar
crowd Of people, come out to see her take
a last leap into eternity? Does not An
drew johnson sometimes see the ghosts OF
Champ Ferguson and Captain WirzY
The gentleman certainly has not forgot
ten the past, that these bloody acts OF
tyranny should have escaped his mem
ory thus. Will Andrew Johnson, instead
of endeavoring to prove to the people
that he was upjustly used by Con-
eress, show some palliation for the
crime he com mittsd in hanging an
innocent woman, and putting men to
death after they had surrendered and
been paroled as Confederate soldiers.
Has this ex President forgotten yet
another act that he would have COM
mitted, had it not been for Gen. Grant
land we shall always honor the General
for it), still more heinous and dishonor-
ably damning. We allude to Andrew
] ohnson's endeavors to have General
Robert E. Lee tried and hung for treason
after the war had terminated and he had
been paroled.
But enough of this mans past record
It is perfectly disgusting and sickening to
every honest man in the country, both
North and South. We would, five we're
Andrew johnson, veil our face, and
pray God in His mercy to put speedy
end to our disgraceful life.

differ entirely from the instructions given

Molly is having frequent conferences

sprssss-Radical Opinion Of Him.

From the New YORK SUM-
Senator Sprsgue, of Rhode Island, has
attracted, very suddenly, the attention Of
the whole country. His speeches are
copied and talked about everywhere. The
Democratic pspsTs are loaded with ex-
tracts from them, and the Qepeeratic
readers are delighted with the home
thrusts which they contain at the Repub-
licans; while the Republicans themselves
stand in sort Of silent amszement ct
the suddennes of the repeated blows dealt
them by a lobg>time comrsde and ally.

it is perfectly safe TO say that no such
speeches were ever before made 10 the
