SOME one has been interviewing
ex-President johnson, and drawn
from him very emphatic expressions
of opposition to the "New Depart
ure." He even thinks 1t would be
better for the country to groan for
four years longer, under Radical rule
than to recognize the amendments
as dc .fdcto,pa of the Federal Con-
stitution. Withou, stopping to ques-
ton the sincerity Of this newborn
devotion to ante 6elium doctrines, we
would like TO know where the great
East Tennesseean buried his strong
convictions during the period when,
as military satrap, he was playing
Moses to the negroes, and trampling,
under his military heel the funda
mental idea OF our government
State sovereignty. Where did he
hide his pure Democracy whilst, a,
President, he deposed legally elected
State Governors and substituted 9th.
ers akin TO himself, through theii
treason to the South, and contempt
for the Constitution, as II then was
That Mr.. johnson, since he mad,
treason odious, In his own person
has firmly advocated the true demo
cratic doctrines, In the main, we will
not deny; but question, In view o
his war record, the propriety of hi
assuming to teach the national De
mocracy its true policy in the pres
ent important crisis.

the Cincinnati Commercial says:
o. An examination into'the subject
reveals the fact that General Grant
has made and recalled more nomina-
tons to the Senate than all the Pres
idents Of the United States combined.
The fact Is also revealed, that the
Senate, since the 4th of March, 1863,
has confirmed more unworthy andim
proper nominations than at any pre-
vlous time in the history OF the coun-
try. In casting about and settling
up old scores and quarrels, Senators
ackno Wedge their own turpitude In
this regard. This comparison ofnotes
is not very pleasant or satisfactory To
the parties concerned; and II is openly
announced that ut the next session oi
Congress, n new policy and course OF
action will be inaugurated.

THE Democracy, Of West Virginia,
have promulgated a series Of resolu-
tions, IN which the Amendments are
accepted as de facto parts Of the
Constitution, and upon their plat
form, recommend Salmon r.. Chase
as the candidate for Presid mt. A
copy Of these proceedings having
been sent to Judge A. o. p. Nichol-
son, he defines his position In the fol-
lowing letter, from the New York
Herald: st rf .,.i
COLUMBIA, TENN, Aug. s, 1871.
MIR. G. CT Church Esq:
DEAR SIR have examined with
care the printed copy Of the platform
on which the friends OF Chief Justice
Chase propose to present his name to
the National Democratic Convention
for nomination to the Presidency
You are aware that since the people
OF Tennessee called me to the position
which now occupy Us Chief Justice
Of the State, have deemed 1t my
duty to abstain from all political
movements and devote my whole
time to my official trust. The judg-
ment, therefore, which shall express
as to the Chase platform and its nc.
ceptability to the Southern Democ-
racy will rest much more upon my
general view IA to the Southern
character and Southern sentiment
than upon any knowledge on the sub
j.cts acquired within the last twelve
months.
] regard the principles and policy
laid down In the resolutions on which
you ask my opinion as eminently
sound and orthodox, and those only
on the success of which we can hope
to prevent our Government from be-
coming q confirmed central despo-
tism. Relying upon my knowledge
of Southern character and sentiment,
I have no doubt that the great body
Of the Southern people would cordi'
ally support Chief Justice Chase OF
any honest stateman standing upor
this platform.
j ] do not think that the Southern
Democrats have any decided prefer
ence as to the persons to be nOmina
ted for President and Vice-president
They look to the Convention for the
selection of two honest statesmen
with the adoption of q sound Demo
cratic platform, and on such tickle
there will be substantial unanimity
I think / can safely add that Chic
, Justice Chase, by his firmness, indie
pendence and ability in the discharg,
of his official duties, has secured tn
!. decided confidence of the Southern
Democracy. W
But. If / am not much mistaken II
. the Southern sentiment, IL Is the gen
