The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1869-08-12
A. Johnson i'm the Senate.

The result of the Tennessee election
probably assures the return of Andrew
Johnson to the United States Senate
This, as one of the first fruits of peaceful
revolution, which Radical journal in this
city claims as triumph of the national
Republican" party, is significant.
Mr.. johnson is, of course, representa-
tive member of the party which has tri-
umphed in Tennessee; else that party
would hardly send him to represent Ten
nesSee in the Federal councils. And as we
are sagely told that the party which has
triumphed there is the Republican
party, of course Mr.. Johnson is Repub.
licani
He will take his seat in the Senate with
those other well-known Republican"
Senators who one year ago, voted to CON
vict him, and depOSe him from the Presi-
dental office, upon an impeachment for in
terposing obstacles in the way of the same
Republican" party which it is averred
has triumphed in Tennessee. OF course he
will take an early opportunity, as a repre-
sentative of the Republican" party, to
make a speech defending those " Republi-
can" Senators who voted to depOse him, and
proving that they acted in perfect accord
ance with the views of the party which
has triumphed in Tennessee, and which
proves that it is the Republican," party
by sending that eminent and loyal q Re
publican" A. Johnson, to the Federal
Senate!
He will also make frequent speeches
and cast frequent votes, in defense of the
craftsmanship and administrative ability
of his Republican friend, Mr.. Grant. He
will prove that Grant is not "a bundle of
rni ~ hot I, =, 4
things that a person of the name of A.
johnson said he was. Doubtless he will
employ, in abiding to the person of that
name, the same Opprobrious terms and vii
famous epithets that have been so fire.
quently employed by those Republican u
Senators who voted to depOse him, and
also by all the Republican politicians
and presses in the Countrywide "Repub-
lican concern in this city, which claims a
victory in Tennessee, included. For in
this way will he prove that the result i'm
Tennessee is Republican triumph.
But i'm addition to proving that the re-
suit in Tennessee is "a Republican" tri-
umph, the return of Andrew Johnson to
the Federal Senate will be an event mark
ing the inauguration of a new movement
in the political ideas of the country more
distinctly than any other that has hap
pened since the Southern surrender. What
ever may be said to the disparagement OF
MIR. Johnson as a politician he is unques-
tlonably representative man." Norman
living more thoroughly represents the idea
| of hostility to reckless Radicalism, and adj
herence to his convictions of Constitutional
law. No man has exhibited a more I'M
conquerable disposition to protect civil
| rights and the civil law against the assaults
of an irresponsible despotism, erected in
the service Ofan INSCRIPTIONS and corrupt
party organization. His return to the
Federal Senate will mark the decline. and
fall, in one of its bayonet-built strong
holds, OF the party he has fought, and that
has fought him, with a fury almost un-
paralleled in political history. If that be
a triumph for the Radical party, heaven
