.aTICAL STORM.

We can feel but little direct interest in the caldron secthiug in Washington City at this time. Itis battle in which, if we went to thcrescue of one side or the other, we might get our knuckles skinned and no thanks. "When rogues full out honest men arrive at the truth To which category the combatants be- long remains yet to be determined. Surely, then calm dignity which deals with politics for the good of the whole country is quality for which they have the credit of being wofully defi- r;ent. We spoke of a combat going on in the National Capitol, and that such is the facts none can deny. One of the coordinate branches of our Constitu- .tional Government has been so curtail- ed of it's fair proportions as to stand, like shivering beggar, at the back of merciess species of fanaticism. The Executive has been ruled below the Legislative department despite the theory of the founders of this Repub- lie, that they were separate as the plan cts in their movements, and equal in the voiccthey wereto have under the Constitutional restrictions. Do any of our readers doubt but that the man brought from the scenes of triumph, and offered the office .'unsought for by him and untrammelled, will restore that office to its prestine vigor? Nol yet a the Judiciary inviolate--a s.whee' ,Mithin the wheel" is to rectify any de. pacy that may exist in this depart

We will not identify ourselves with such partizans.

 was waged viz the abasement of the
 South. Congress was so startled from it's sure dream of undisputed power by finding the Executive coming with gi- ant strength and powerful purpose
 right athwart its path, that it rushed like mad bull who is impelled to ir- resistible fury by seeing red hanker- chief in the tantalizing hands of the Lanista waved before his eyes-clean over law, constitution. propricty, every thing, driven by one blind instinct alone-that of goring the pugnacious Executive to death. Not to put too fine point on the bull simile, we Of the South felt that anything would be relief which withdrew the fearful in cubus of negro and carpet-bag rule from the States lately forming the Con- federacy. And although Reconstruc- ton schemes and other political abom- 1 nations were devised and put into op- eration for the more cffectual ruin of
 the South, the terrible earnestness of
 the quarrel and contention going on i between two coordinate branches of
 the Federal Government had this salu-
 tar- effcct--it broke the violence of l Congressional persecution--it alter
 nately gave the Executive the occasion
 to kick out . Sickles, q sherman, or
 other precious heroes of Radicalism, and substitute an occasional gentleman in their places to do the dirty work oi despotism-it give the South a breath inr spell between the acts in the pro-
 gress ofoppre.sion, and when impeach- T ment at last was resorted to, and the
 great State trial had fairly got under
 way. everybody at Washington and
 elsewhere who was bent on further mischief to the South, was diverted for the atrocious and vlndictive hunt, to ! pursue tho great enemy to his strong hold and snatch the last prize ofpower from his possession, which alone stood Hike q solitary rock Tn the mld-ocea1kas break water to the Radical revolution
 ist-the Executive office. When the
 fiasco was at length ended, and John
 son stood forth victorious and ten thousand times morally stronger than
 ever before, the close ofhis adminfstra- I ton was too near at hand for Radical
 ism to open anew the conflict, and thus
 by the mercy of God and the selfishness and bickerings and wrath of their enc.
 mics, the South has come on so fai
 much.better than we could have expect. ed when President Johnson, after tht
 dark and tragic scenes of April, 1865 took his seat as President. Now ther for Grant. May he do no worse thal his predecessor.

 So far as l can comprehend it, it is nothing but a mass of crude assertions. unsupported by any logic or reasoning; a dogmatic and dictatorial compound of words without ideas, and of ungrammat- ical sentences without thoughts. In the first paragraph he assures us that the office came to him unsought, and endeavors to gratify us by asserting that he "com- tmenccs it's duties untrammelcd.' Now, if Grant possessed the faculty of thinking, he would not have made that assertion He is just as much "trammeled' as any of his predecessors were He accepted the nomination of the Radical party upon the Chicago platform, which pledged bim to every extremity of party demands. And, as l predicted more than year age, he has already gone to that extremity; for in, conclusion, he s'entertans the hope fpd expresses the desire" that the Eifte,e & Amendment will be ratified by as " | States. This fact proves how "untram' meled" he is--how firm hol his ideas of independence have upon him. :. He insinuates threat to veto all laeauu sures to which eis opposed. Nor ask if any previous President ever used such language in his Inaugural Coming from Washington in the early days of our country. before a republican government was fairly established, such language would havo borne a serious import--a resemblance to monarchcal edicts so nalpable that the patriots of '76 would have taken up their bruised arms against his administration and the old Democrat Jefferson would have written another Declaration of Independence so decidedly Democratic that the little politicians and pop-gun soldieraof after years could have no controversy Y@ SsshsIanguage from Uld1RIa gl5 would be cohssoered by our RaaicUR lfiends as very ,dictatoral, and dangerous to the GoyernAent---hy the Eternal.
