insane. His whole speech is that OF 4
man out Of his senses. 1t Is incshsrent,
full Of repetitions, aud full, too, Of that
singular fancy which msdmen frequently
have. that they are the victims Of ssme
vindictive persecution.
For instance, he repeats over and ever,
and over sgaln, that he has run the round
that he has held all the Offices from all
derman up that he has filled all the OH
ces 10 the Government that one might ss>

from the highest 10 the lowest, and so on.
Then he is full Of sneers st people whose
path is paved with human craniunis;' he
boass of his pardons sfcoun.erfrilcrs and
whisky thieves, saying that nc has 'libers>
ted the captives;' and then he begins again
that old tale of his having held all the Of
dces, State and Federal, IRON the highest
to the lowest
Certainly Mr. Johnson is deranged. and
II he has any friends, they should either
put him in an insane asylum. or under the

The manner in which some of the
Consular appointments are given To-
cal habitations, is creating some dis
satisfaction amrng Senators. One
from New York is credited to Rhode
Island, and another to Connecticut,
and one from Illinois is credited to
Indiana. AS it has been determined
by the appointing power to give to
each State it's due proportion Of
these Offices. it is but justice that
each State should present its own
candidates, and not have candidates
from other States accredited to it =
Any other course must necessarily
create dissatisfaction. 1t is, how
ever, conjectured that sill this class

SuaaRer's Speech

The speech of Senator Summer,
OF MASSACHUSETTS, delivered in the
United Stats Senate on the 18th
Instant; o. the Johnson Clarendon
treaty for the settlement of the Ala
bsms claims, is q mastery effort of
this statesman in favor Of the rejec-
tion Of the tresty. He shows almost
conclasively that the treaty does not
settle TIE grievance between us and
England, bit leaves it for 'hesrt
burning and hate. He arraigns
England, and in his indictment char
ges that tue authorities of Great
Britain accorded to the Confeder
alta Government rights that did not
heretofore exist according 10 the law
Of nations: that bcll;geren, rights on
land could not give tie rebellion a
status on the high seas. Ocean bel
ligerency being fact and nota prin
ciple that without beligerent rights
on the ocean, every ship built by
great Britain for the use Of the Con-
federate Government could be moth
ing less than piracy; that in contra
distinction TO This we'll recognized
principle, England did not only al
low the Alabama to be built for the
Confederate States, bpt other ships
and munitions OF war were furnish
ed, BY reason of which our com
nerce was injured and the rebellion
protracte !, to the damage OF this
government in the sum of four thou
sand million dollars, which amount
Is the burden Of the cost Of the whole
war. This hs estimated by the rule
OF damages. A few years ago Sl2,-
600, 900 would have been satisfacto-
~ as a consideration fer settlement
OF the Alabama claims, but it is
questionable, with these figures be-
fors ~, whether that amount would

For q very considerable period, a
shadowy conviction has permeated
the American mind that the day
wot come when the United States will
spread from the Isthmus Of Darien
to the frozen regions OF the North,
embracing In its stupcndous area
the whole of Central America, of
Mexico. Of the extensive groupe OF
islands which lie near our Southern
coast, and of the British posses
sions on this continent. Our his
tory lends strong probability to this
theory. We lave been augmen.ing
our borders ever since making the
vast Louisiana acquisition. That
purchase from France has furnished
territory from which nu nbcr of
States have been carved. After
ward the National Government bough
FLORIDA from Spain, then annexed
Texas bv treaty, then acquired New
Mexico and California as result OF
war, and finally has made posses
sion Of Alask. Here we hare nu-
merous cases and ample proof of
tie general tendency of this cous-
try to absorb adjacent sell. 1t is
but natural to conclude that the pro-
cess OF scquisition will 60 on in the
future rs iG has IN the past Already
there is probability that Cuba the
gem Of the Antilles-will drop into
our lap like ripe fruit. The island
has been gravitating toward our
Jurisdiction more and more and
more for years. San Domingo be-
gins to feel the throcs of the same
tendency. Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick have lorg entertained
strong inclinations for annexation.
Now exhibitions Of the same feel
ings are making themselves con-
spicuous in the Canadas. Indeed,
it is almost practical question
whether or not those colonies sllo'd
cease TO be British possessions In
tclligent Englishmen are beginning
seriously to entertain TIE idea OF u
transfer of these North American
provinces TO the United States. Their
interests and ours are very closely
connected. They are becoming
more and more SO. No ties in the
political world are stronger than
commercial ones, and these arc bind
ing the New Dominion to us closer
and closer. BY and bye that conn.
try and this must coalcsce. I. is
the logic Of events. British pride
and seltishness may stand i'm the way
for awhile. but they will not be able
to resist the augmenting influences
and necessities of manifest destiny.
We have little faith in the project to
receive these American dependencies
Of the English Crown as an Offset for
the Alabama claims. We do not
think the English Cabinet would con-
sent to such a settlement, nor do we
think the English people are ready
for such n yielding. Such an annex
alton would be an excellent thing
for the United States, hut we fear
any movement in that direction, ut
this time, is premature Chicago

There is hardly any ordeal more

ery four years infict upon tic man

President 1t is not new story -
An old soldier was .assailed by it
more than thirty years ago, and he
sunk into his grave after few
weeks experience Of the terrors OF
the White House. Our next militia
~ man, survived it year. MIR.
Lincoln, on his first accession to Of
ice, was SO besieged by it that no
tine was left for the affairs of the
nation, and we driftcd for elk weeks
through the rapids before the plunge
into the war, without a hand at the
helm. On his re election he fed
from it as from pestllence, and
sought refuge within sound of the
enemy's guns from the pertinacious
harassing Of his friends Mr.. John
son stood up under it stoutly to all
appearance, with the loss ofhis tenn
per and discretion; but the despatch
es of the last week frem Tennessee
have shown us that his health also
was to q great extent sacrificed in
the struggle. General Grant is prob
ably one OF the strongest men in the
country in all the qualities OF endur-
ance and imperviousness 10 anxiety;
his serenity and equable temper on
a score of doubtful fields have ex-
hibited to all Of us bis marvellous
patience and power Of resisting the
influences which wear ordinary men
out, But shc news is only what we
have been locking for. when we hear
from Washington that the President
after being three weeks in Office. is
compelled to succumb to WEAKNESS
such as his soldier life never knew,
and to shut his doors for q day or
two in self-defence against the swarm
Of visitors.
Probably no statistics could be
compiled to tell how many Of this
procession of wasps. each ignorant

hind. were bent on petty errands of
seliishness only: how few on tt af-
fairs en- which the nation as a nation
looks to its new Presidcntto settle.
But the disparity in this direction is
very great. Representation with the
class who cause the annoyance wo'd
be useless; fer each individual looks
only n. his own petition, and tie
magnitude of that, in his own eyes,
justifes disregard Of every other
consideration. But we hope the

sity of applying the check which
rests in his own hands alone. He
can refuse to submit himself to the
