very Intelligent maa tbat tbe Presidentnecessarily exercise atl tbe powers belonglog to bis blfh affice nntil tbe fact Is ssUb--
Usbsd by a lair and impartial trfcl tbst beIres coma, it ted some offense which, nndcrtbe coostitntion, authorizes and justifies bisremoval. The arguments by which anyother conclusion is reached, are necessarilyrull of atword contradictions, and cannotbe sustained by reference to tbe const it ution, or to the intentions of those whoframed that instrument.
The constitution created a governmentwith three distinct departments tbe eie--
cmtlve, tb legislative and judicial Independent of each other, and supreme withintheir respective orbits. It also establisheda wise system of checks and balance, bywhich each of these departments was secured against any attempt on tbe part oftlx others to invade tbe precincts of itslegitimate authority. That the framers oftbe constitution believed that they badgiven to each department sufficientprotection Is well known, bat a moment'sthought will be sufficient to showthat It tbe President could be divested ofkit authority by tbe mere preacntatioa olarticle of impeachment, tbe executive de-
partment is without any protection what-ever, and h always at tbe mercy of
congressional majority. For ilwould only be necessary whenever Con
rets found tbe President tn Its way, de-
feating its unconstitutional and inexpedient measures by the ase of tbe executiveveto, to brine in articles of impeachmentand pass their obnoxious measures daringtbe suspension of his powers. Thetrial could In such cases be indefi-
nitely postponed, the charges be withdrawn,or an acquittal had. Tbe President wouldthea resume tbe exercise of tbe authoritybelonging- - to bit office, but In tbe meantimetbe meusaret referred to, and to secure tbeadoption of which he was temporarily deposed, woeid have become tbe laws of tbesand. This would make the veto power anullity, without vigor or efficiency, and auseless feature in tbe constitution. Indeed,the constitution and tbe governmentwould be better without H, for if itdid not exist, tbe President wouldnot be compelled to oppose any leg-islation of Con (Tress snd no conflicts couldoccur between him and tbat body. But solong as It is a part or tbe constitution, andtbe President Is nndcr oath to use it in cer-
tain specified eases, and its ase will temptCongress to deprive bin temporarily of bisauthority by mock Impeachments untiltbe objectionable measures can be passedover bis bead, constant collisions sre possi-
ble,to
and tbe country will be subject to everrecurring periods of excitement and tumult,and pemapa, to bloody revolutions.
The fact tbat there is such a power as tbeveto reposed in the hands of the PresidentIs conclusive against tbe proposition tbsthe can be deprived or bis authority beforeeon rid km, for trench were the ease It wonldamount to nothing, snd at we have shown,be worse than useless.
Upon bit Induction Into office thePresident is required to take sn oath thatbe will, to tbe best of bis ability, preserve,protect and defend the consUlalioa of tbeUnited States, SDd the rsto power is placedIn bis bands to enable bun to defend theeonslitatioo with effect against unconstitu-tional legislation by Congress.
Again; It it a part of the same oath thatbe will faithfully execute tbe office of Presi-
dent of tbe Uaited States, and as It la cleartbat be Is tbe President until be h deposedfrom office by conviction under tbe articlesof Impeachment, it follows as aa inevitableconsequence that be must execute tbeoffice of President nntil be is convicted andejected from it. is
Besides, It is an established principle oflaw, that a man must be considered inno-
cent until be it pro ren to be guilty; where-as, to suppose tbe President guilty, simplybecause offenses are Imputed to him, beforeconviction, which to deprive htm of tberights belonging to his office would be todo, would be at war with one of tbe oldest
. legal maxims and the soundest principles ofjustice.
But she Constitution, fortunately, doenot leave tbe question in doubt. SectionIT, of article IL, declares that "the Presi-dent,
aVies President, and all civil officers
o( the United Slates, shall be removedfrom office on Impeachment for end eowne-tu-
of treason, bribery, or other highcrimes and misdemeanors.
It will be observed that, before tbe Pres-
ident can be removed from bis office, bemast not only be im peached but be mustbe etmriHed. It is equally manifest that todeprive him of bis authority is fully equiv-
alent to hi removal from office, lor tbefunctions and powers with which tbe Pres-ident is invested are tbe very essence of tbeoffice and without tbem be is nothing. . Ifit is argned tbat though bis functions aresuspended between tbe time of tbe arraign-ment of tbe President at the bar ot the Sen-
ate aad tbe date of bis conviction be issUU the President, we reply tbat bis oathrequires bint to execute the office of Presi-dent so long as be is President, which againapsets the theory we are endeavoring tocontrovert.
In any possible view in which tbe subjectcaa be examined it seems clear tbat tbe Preident cannot be divested of bis authoritynntil be has been convicted ot crime andejected from bis office.

Jacobin Trickery.The Jacobm loaders, with tbe view of
tickling their adherents, snd throwing coldwater upon the friends of tbe President, putin circulation a few days since tbe absurdstory that tbe President was about to modify bis policy to tbe extent of rtcom mending tbe adoption of the proposed constitu-tional amendments by the Southern States.Tbe report was promptly nipped in tbebud by aa authorized denial It Is a wellknown tact that tbe President regards these amendments as bar-
ing been prepared in violation of tbefifth article ot tbe constitution, and, asa matter of course, be would neither approve or recommend tbem. It is said, however, that there is reason to believe tbat beproposes recommending tbe admission ofall tbe States, and then tbe considerationor such constitutional amendments as maybe regarded as necessary. This looks veryprobable, sud it altogether consistent withtbe policy he has heretofore submitted totbe people. He maintains tbat Itia not legitimate for a piece of aCongress to amend tbe whole ot a constitution, sud tbat only with all tbe States represented can amendments be properlyadopted; and tbat juit as K requires three-fourt-
of tbe 8tates to ratify an amend-
ment to tbe constitution, so does it requirea full Congress to pass one. It is a mostridiculous and palpable contradiction tosay tbat the Southern States sre in theUnion for some purposes snd for other purposes not; that they are sufficiently in tbeUnion to make it a necessity to submitto tbem a chance in the organiclaw for ratification in order togive it legalty, and at tbe same time tomaintain that tbey are not tar enough in(he Union to be entitled to be representedand to vote upon tbe adoption of tbe sameamendment. This is the sort of fustianand nonsense with which tbe Jacobins hopeto bumbug the people, but tbe absurdityis too glaring, and will not be accepted bytbe masses as sound political truth, or asanything else thaa aa a poor excuse forthe reckless use of the power entrusted totheir bands.
tST Ex Governor W. W. Holden, ofKorih Carolina, and editor of the RaleighStandard, and one ot the most contempti-ble snd unscrupulous politkal renegades intbe Southern States, is out in a pamphlet,of which we have received a copy, in lavorof tbe adoption of tbe constitutional amendment Tbe people of North Carolina knowbetter than to follow'Holden's sdvice sboutanything. He has always exhibited suchfacility in getting from oneside of a question to tbe other.and occasionally in being onboth sides at the same time, that theybare never been able to keep up with biseccentricities. Be baa betrayed and de-
nounced every party with which be wasever connected, aod has no more regard torprinciple than a Chinese or Hindoo idolHe is now one of the most Intense of allUnion men, and goes for tbe constitutionalamendment, yet he was one of the originatorsof the war, was a member of tbe secessionconvention of bis State, and voted to takebe State out ol the Union. His voice and pen
were clamorous for this policy. At the closeof tbe war be wa an unconditional Unionman and the friend of tbe President snd bispolicy, and was appointed provisional governor, tie Is now s stub and twisted Ja-
cobin, bowline out bis anathemas againstthe policy which be assisted tbe President
inaugurate. He Is a fair specimen of tbeclass called Southern loyalists, and his In- -
uence is as small as his character is contemptible and his record inconsistent.
Hf If there Is one argument of tbeJacobins more absurd and ridiculous thananother, it ia that made by tbem tbat itwould not be safe to admit the Southernmembers without additional security.Would forty constitutional amendmentsaccepted by tbe Southern people changetheir minds or mske tbem anything butwhat tbey are ? Would tbelr acceptance olany possible condition relieve tbe Sutesthey represent from tbclr present prostra-tion, or enable them without re-
sources to strike another blow f Wouldtheir admission into tbe Union reducetbe ability of the United States to bringthem to order again as It has done before? Orwould it deprive tbe government of any ofits tremendous powers for offensive or defensive warfare Tbe veriest idiot knowsthat it would not Tbe argument is a bare- -
laced pretext, invented and employed toJustify their unconstitutional action, but it
like the most of their arguments, tooflimsy to deceive.
17 Tho contest waxes warm on theother side of the river. Both parties aremarshaling their forces for tbe great struggle to come off Tuesday next, and as tbecanvass goes on, both sides grow more scire and aggressive. We imagine, from all
the information we have received, tbat tbeelection will be attended with tumult In
all parts of tbe State. The aoobins areoverflowing with bitterness and intolerance,and are resolutely bent npon achieving a
victory at any cost and by any means.Startling rumors of frauds to beperpetrated with imported voters,and tbe secret organisations ot rotflans to intimidate voters and keep tbemfrom tbe polls already fill the air. TbeDemocrats are determined tbat every loyalvoter shall have a chance, and there is nodoubt but tbat they will resist with unyielding firmness any attempts to carry tbeelection by fraud. This, it is presumed.will produce collisions, but tbe prospect istbat tbe result will be as glorious for theDemocracy as It will be valuable to thecause of constitutional liberty.

M ill the A dod ion ot the Constitntionnl Amendments Secure the Admission ot the Southern States?As tbe idea Is held out in many quarters
that the adoption of tbe constitutionalamendments will secure tbe admission oftbe Southern States, and tbat no furtherconditions will be imposed or required itIt well that tbe subject sbould be examinedto see upon what ground this opinion rests.Tbe amendments are in themselves odiousand oppressive, and if the people of tbeSouth are to accept them tbey must havesome substantial equivalent for this greatsacrifice of rights and prejudices. Tbey inrolve the loss of of their representation in Congress, sud as a matter of course of tbat proportion of theirpolitical rights in tbe government Tbeyhave been cruelly deceived once,that was thetault of those who deceived them. If tbeyare again deceived the fault will be tbeirown. The anxiety to satisfy tbem tbat tberatification of tbe amendments will securetheir sdmlssion to the Union, shows veryconclusively tbat another fraud, if possible,i to be practiced upon them. They wereled to believe that if they would vote forthe amendment abolishing slavery, repudiate their Confederate debts, aad admit tbenegroes to civil rights, tbey would bepromptly relieved of all tbeir disabilitiesand allowed full participation in tbe government Tbey gave their assent to everyrequirement made, and naturally expectedthat tbe conditions would be complied with.The manner in which tbey were defrauded is famtiiar to all. WhenCongress met a Central Sunta was created,npon which the entire question of jurisdiction over tbe question of reconstructionwas conferred. To this Junto everythingrelating to tbe subject was referred, and tberesult was the amendments now pendingwith an act to admit such of tbe SouthernStates as would accept it if it was ratified.This act was rejected and the amendmentswere presented to the people, unconnectedwith any pledge tbat tbeir adoption wouldadvance tbe policy ot reconstruction a sin-
gle step. Such papers as tbe New YorkHerald tell tbe people of the South thattbey will certainly be admitted npon theratification ot the amendment, andurge tbem to vote lor it ; but tbe Heraldis a new convert to tbe Jacobin cause, andis not familiar with all parts of the Radicalprogramme. There is no security offeredthat such will be tbe case. Tbe grey beardsof tbe Jacobin party, who are supposed tobe familiar with its secrets, make no prom-
ises to restore the States. Tbeir theory istbat tbe South is prostrate at their feet andmust accept any conditions tbey feel in-
clined to propose. Tbey, tberefore, intendto force the amendments npon them, andadopt others more rigorous and degradingwhich must alfo be adopted. They forgetthat there is no obligation resting upon tbeSouthern people to accept thc;e degradingconditions, and that there are nomean of compelling their adoption.And it is certain tbat they will notaid in tbelr own further humiliation.Tbey have nothing to gain andeverything to lose by such a course. Tbeyhave become satisfied tbat tbe Jacobins areintent npon tbeir ruin, and they are notdisposed to aid them in their nefariouswork. Therefore, unless guarantees can befurnished for equivalents tor fuither sub-
missions tbey will not voluntirily maketbem. What tbey may be, forced to do Is
another thing. Tbey are helpless, and butfor tbe noble and fearless stand of tbe Pre-
sident In their behalf, would be hopelessalso. It Is an old adage tbat one man cantake a horse to water, but no number ofmen can make him drink. Thus with theSouthern people. They may be compelledto submit to degradation, but tbey cannotbe forced to confess it just, or to lick tbebands tbat smite tbem.
To show that tbe Jacobins have furtherconditions to impose, and tbat tbe acceptance of tbe amendment will not facilitatetheir admission to tbe Union in tbe eligbt-i- t
degree, wc publ'sh some extracts fromtbebr writers and speakers.
Mr. Bout well, of Massachusetts, one ofthe Star Chamber Committee of Fifteen,and a candidate for to Congress,in a recent speech said:
If the present conEressiorfal platform expressed the whole claim to be demanded ofthe boutti, it was one tbat be would notsupport It was well as far as it went, butIt did not go ir enough. There would beno saft-t- If the South came In and these de-mands were oulv complied with. Our onlysecurity in the future was in endowing thecolored loyal people of tbe South with theelective franchise, and the speaker said bedid not intend to vote for the admission ofeither of the ten States not at present rep-resented in tbe Congress of tbe UnitedStates until impartial suffrage was securedto all the people or those States.
"He believed that when tbe Thirty ninthCongress assembled In December next therewould not be found five men who wereidentified with the Republican party whowould not be in favor ot impartial suffragetn every one of thea ten States as a con-dition precedent to their aduilbsion."
Mr. Eoutwell U one of the Radical lead-er- a
of Congress, and knows what be atfirmsin this matter to be true.
The New Tork Independent, a leading,if not tbe leading Radical journal of tbecountry, in itJast issue says :
"No leading Republican in Congressmeans to admit the ten waiting statessimply on the adoption of tbe constitution-al amendment These states are to be ad-
mitted on no conditions short of tin equalpolitical rights of their loyal citizens, with-out distinction of race. A I ecoDst ructionof tbe Union on any other basis would bea national dishonor. Until tbe rebel Statescan come back on this basis, tbey shall notcome back at all."
It says further:"The Radical party, both North and
South, wrufe and black, can assent to no re-
construction short of impartial suffrage.""Congress has not tied its
hands against the future. It is free to actas tbe emergency may require. If, nextwinter, it shall choose to make impartialsuffrage tbe condition of restoration, it cando so. We know personally every promi-nent member of Congress, and we tnom tttatUvt leadrrt do not mean to admit Out unad-mitted Htatra on the mere adoption of tfummendmrnt. Moreover, we know personally tbe leading Radicals of tbe Republicanparty outside of Congress, and we knowtbat they ha" no intention of making themmendtnent the final measure of adniwdonV
"iosay. therelore. with theSyracuse Republican convention, or withtbe address of tbe National Republicancommittee, that Congress will restore theten watting States If these States adopt tbeamenument, is to misrepresent Utevuue."
How tbe Radicals ol Congress mean toproduce negro suffrage at tbe South, or ne-
gro insurrections, which will bring onanarchy and civil war, is thus stated in aletter from tbe Radical acting governor ofLouifiana, Welles, who writes as lbllows:
That Congress will regulate all thesematUra at its next session, is not a matterior oouul its nrst amy, as I conceive,will be to pass an enabling act, prescribingbow the rebel States shall be recognized.The first preliminary to tbat end will, ofcourse, be a convention from the people toiorm a constitution, and in electing tbatconvention I consider that Congress has tbeconstitutional right to say who shall voteana wno snail not vote.
when tbe convention meets, tbe powerrests in that body to fix and regulate tbebasis of snffragi, the constitution tbey mayadopt being submitted to Congress lor itsapproval
"7u vndentand to be the tiroarammeof Vie EepHbliran party, and is a shorter aswell as a more effectual method lor the re-dress of our grievances, than by persistingin tbe assembling of tbe convention of ISCf,as you suggest"
Thus it appears that tbe South might aswell stop making concessions now as at anyother time. If she is forced to submit toany further outrages, tbe fault Is that ofbcr enemies, snd the infamy of insulting afallen foe belongs to tbem, but if she ac-
cepts tbem and gives her assent, the depre-
dation belongs to her.

Demands by Wendell Phillins
The Radical Plan Foreshadowed.
From the Standard.The House of Ilenrestntatives is nrced to
impeach President Johnson. We add ourvoice to tbe demand. There are abundantreasons for the measure, and tbe need of itis If the present emergencydoes not demand a recurrence of this constitutional method of protection, It is impossible to conceive one which would.
But we bold impeachment of little or) value, indeed useless, unless tbe
House, when it lays its articles of impeach-ment before the Senate, demands tbat Mr.Johnson be suspended from tbe exercu-- ofDis inactions, ana that act as presi-dent nntil Mr. Johnson is acquitted, or. in
ny other result of the trial, until tbe nextpresidential term commences.
W ithout this the constitutional provisionfor impeachment of the executive is a shorn.as it is, the remedy is wholly unattainableu ordinary circumstances. lint it tht Im
peached president, nulike otber acenseduud impeached officers, is to be allowed tocarry on his illegal schemes while on trialand until tbe senate pronounces him guilty,the whole provision is worse than useless.The true rule undoubtedly is tbat when
of tbe bouse of representative pro-nounces tbe president guilty of grave mis-deeds and offers to tbe senate evidence ofits accusation, tbe incumbent ceases tohave o right to exercise its office nntil ac-quitted. This is tbe only construction thatleaves any value in th6 constitutionalclause; and when we remember bow powerful tuc executive must always be to preventany action against himself by the house, wcsee mere can De no danger in recojrnizinir itas the constitutional rule, although no express provision lor it is made in tbat instru-ment.
Further still, we unre on the 39th Congress, before it adjourns, it provide by lawtor the assembling of the )tb Congress onthe 5th day of March. 1867. A3 the constitution now stands, the 40th Congresswill not assemble till December, 1S07, thusleaving the whole term from March 4 toDecember 4 of that year for the President toplot treason uncontrolled by Congress.This should never be allowed. The constitution gives Cenjrress the power to remedy
Let mere be no nezicct to exercise thispower and save the nation from this peril.

Lincoln and Johnson.From a very able and timely speech, de
livered by Eon. C. C. Langdon, of Ala-
bama, in Brooklyn, we make the followingiLteresling extracts :
THE ASSASSINATION OF MB LINCOLN.I am well aware that the Radicals have
attempted to fix upon "Southern rebels"the responsibility of instigating that atro-cious deed. I beard it charged, with terrible emphasis, on the floor ot Congress lastwinter, by a distinguished member fromOhio, and, in milder lorra, by many others.J ever was accusation more cruelly unjust.I say here what I know to be true. that, bvnil intelligent and reflecting men among us,tbe death of Mr. Lincoln was looked uponas tbe greatest calamity that could, at tbattime, have befallen tbe South.THE POLICY OF MB. LINCOLN AND OF MB.
JOHNSON.
The Radicals are rnceasintr in their abuseof President Johnson for failing, as theyallege, to carry out the policy ol Mr.
I have said tbat Mr. Lincoln wouldhave adopted a less stringent policy to-wards tbe South than has Mr. Johnson.The question will naturally, arise here.by wlmt authority do J presume to soeakfor Mr. Lincoln? Strange as it may appear,
have the authority, in the very words ofMr. Lincoln, uttered in the city of Rich-mond, and put iu writing by bis own bandonly a day or two preceding his death. Ireceived tnem lrom tne geutieman to whomtbey were addressed a gentlemin of thepurest character and the loftiest integrityan eminent jurist, who has held high positions in Dotu tuc Lnitea Mates an t thelaic Confederate government, whose pri-vate character is a sure guarantee of the en-
tire truthfulness of his statements. Hemet Mr. Lincoln at Hampton Roads, andsuise(uently at Richmond, and 1 give youtne statement in ins own language:
"Mr. Lincoln, In bis remarks at HamptonRoads in Richmond, in my hearing, declaredthat tbe panmount object ot his policy wasto restore tbe constitution and the Unionwithout diminution. Confiscations, painsand penalties, and laws of procriptionwere spoken of by him and Mr. Seward inbis presence at Hampton Roads, as tire offsprings of 'revolutionary passious,' tbefiercest passions of tbe war,' wluch were
to perish with the termination'of tbe war.He said in Richmond, and put it in writingthat tbere were but three
CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
1st The restoration of the national authority. 2d. No cessation of hostilities tillthat be accomplished. 3d. No recedingfrom bis position on tbe subject of slavery,as exposed iu his proclamations and otherdocuments. All other questions were to besettled on terms of tbe "tiucerest liber-ality." . ,
these were about tbe last utterances olMr. Lincoln on earth. Tbey proved to be,as it were, his dying words. You will no-tice how perfectly tuey harmonize with allhis previously expressed views, and withthe resolution adopted by Congress. Tberecan be co doubt, then, as to what wouldhave been Mr. Lincoln s policy, had he livedto carry it into effect, lie bad succeededin putting down tbe rebellion; he bad ef-
fected tbe abolition of slavery; tbere wasno longer an armed resistance to the Na-tional uuthority; tbe war bad ceased, andall that was necessary to crown his administration witn resplendent glory, and capthe climax of his own tame, was the restoration of the seceding States totheir former position in the Union.Tbe Uuion restored, and peaceand fraternal relations among the severalStates so established, and his highest ambition would nave been gratitied. Howspeedily, and at the same time bow mildlyand geutly, this result would have been attained, may bo interred from tbe languageused bv him at Hampton and Richmond.Had he lived, gentlemen, 1 hesitate not tosav, the Union would long ago have beenrestored on terms tar more liberal to theSouth than is the policy of Mr. Johnson,liberal and just as l acknowledge that policyto be. And yet Mr. Johnson is denouncedas a traitor to the party tuat elected him,and to the policy ot Mr. Lincoln.
STAMPER ENVELOPES FORII (.'SIXES! MEN.
A New Regulation of the FostofficeOepartment More Accommodation.
From the Evening Post.A change bas been made by tbe post- -
ollice department in the plans by whichstamped envelops were furnished, withthe name and address ol tne senders olletters, with a request to return tbem withiu a specified time if not taken from tbepostoflice. These envelops were supplied,it w 11 be remembered, without extracharge lor printing. In this city tbe numbcr of stamped ami printed envelops usedwas large; tbe orders became constantlymore numerous; but tbe business men com-plained that the printing, which was fromcommon '"clarendon" type, and iu straightlines, three or tour in number, across tbeend of tbe envelope, did not suit them, andthey asked lor a style ot printing tbatshould ornament the envelope ana be useful to themselves.
Tbe postmaster-genera- l bas recently issued instructions making provision forprinting of business cards on envelops Inany desired form or design, with requeststo return letters provided that not listhan one hundred envelops arc ordered.snd tbe persons wanting tbem luroish thecuts or plates, prepared for the press, fromwbich to have the printing done. Postmasters are to receive tbe orders on 4heusual terms, the cost being about the valueolj tbe plain envelops, with tbe addition ofthe amount of the required stamp.

Sir In this afternoon's SUr I find anelaborate attack upon the President of theLnited States. It is scarcely a year aincethat journal pronounced Mr. Johnson oneof the greatest of living statesmen, and nowit turns upon him a flood of Billingsgatethe more remarkable, as in tbe couciuding
me euuor pompously announcesthat "Government by Billingsgate IsP."! jye. nd rever will be, estab-lished in the great American
" exiraorainury now quieklysome writers will discover defecis inthose who were formerly idols, tbe momentthat a sense of duty compels their sever- -,,y,n me policy advocated by such
j. on tne brain" seemsi ' i e as violent in some or its attacks inEngland as in America. The radical feeling,which would prompt the mobbing or buru-n- g
in effigy of Governor Eyre for his courseid Jamaica, is in full consonance with theradical efforts in America to excite animosi-ties, and to rule the Southern people with arod of iron, Instead of allaving the heart-burnings of the past five veur Thrseems to be a kind of freemasonry in
by which Ihe brethren are compelled,as it were, to sustain each other all theworld over. The negro, with his Mackskin is an ebony idol wbich tbey worship,regardless of tbe low scale cf intellect al-ways manifested by the unfortunate crea-tures. And their philanthrnnr wii.misdirected, bids fair to cause tbe entiredestruction of the black race in Americabefore twenty years roll round. But sir,there is an in3id;ous attemot tn th .rtt.i.referred to to cast reproach npon this greatnun by indirect allusion. rnlentHtortconvey the impression that Mr. Johnsonwas intoxicated at the time of making hislast eloquent sneeeh Ta Ifjonrnalorany sect of journalism to heapabusive language upon the head of a great
"""en n.uion willed should be boundto us by tbe closest and nrmi !
Is it decent to insinuate such motives or7.1 Ule rresi"ent, whicL, ir leveledat tbe rulers of France or nthor
errantries, would cause the sunr-rein-
there of the journal an ifnit, ti,..,iir " u"y becoming more widely knowinai haaicalism in Eoaland would pervertiberty into license, and with rapid stridesis drifting towards that Jehir,;Im -
wnicu would meet honest differ-ence of opinion with brute violenoe, andif dominaut, would carry proscription w.thblood-re- hands Now, sir, there are twoor three points which this writer bas over-looked. It is the faculty of some mindsnever to give credit to tbe generous impulsesses and high principles of other icourse ol Mr. Johnson's late speech, hetook occasion to remark npon the immensepo wer which he could have exercised by car-rying out the views of thcConross wbich had
- lrnl(ll s bureau bill, and hesaid, ith an army which it placed at mydiscretion I could have remained at thecapital of tbe nation,and witita fifty or six-ty millions of appropriations at my disposal,with the machinery lobe worked by myown bauds, with my satraps and dependentsin every town and village, and then withthe civil rights bill following as an auxili-ary, in connection with all tbe other ap-pliances of the government, 1 could haveproclaimed myself dictator." Aud the atarsneeringly nsk3, Where wonld the Ameri-can people have been? and picturea thisto have been "a scene of ridiculoususurpation," and "tbe credit of bavin re-sisted the temptation to realize it" as purely"imaginery." Andrew Johnson will livein hiatory as a great and good man hun-dreds of years after this small writer is
and the crowning glory of hisstatcsjianship will be this act, whichis jeered at. During the war there was nota government upon the globe with morepower concentinted in the hands of a singleman. Mr. Lincoln was more omnipotentthan the Czars ot Russia have ever been,and the deviations from old hibdmarka, theinfringements of the constition became aofrequent and so great from the necessity orthe case, that the best and wisest men, notonly in America, but elsewhere, deemed itbut a question of time for constitutionalliberty to be extinguished in the UnitedStates, to be followed by a great militarydespotism erected upon its ruins. How fewmen mere are wno, once possessed of un-limited power, have voluntirily surrenderedit and enlarged the libertiea ot their snh- -jects, is well known to all. Andrew Johnson s name will be inscribed npon that no-ble list The assassination of Mr. Lin-coln occurred when the American publichad become accustomed to arbitrary ar-rests, when tbe habeas corpus was nowhererespected, and when a large standing armyof nearly a million of men was In the field.Under pretense of governing the rebellionsStates, bow easy would it have been, bythe selection of zealous subordinates, tocontrol the country until the proper mo-ment could have been chosen to declarebimseir ruler for life! With tbe generals inhis favor, and the army properly indoctri-nated, what chance would there have beento oppose it? No resistance could havecome from the Sontb, for they had laiddown their arms and had submitted. Andyet as the President modestly expressedii, ne uein power irora the people, andintended to deliver unthat trust untarnish-ed. His whole effort has been directedto the restoration of his country, not in asectional and partisan spirit, but in that ora pure patriot, who seeks no other rewardthan that or an approving conscience. Inspite of Ihe Radicals, he seems now to beon the road to success, and every true- -ucuncu r.ugusuuian auouiu wisn nun woaspeed. He has an arduous and tiring taskto accomplish. If the people sustain him,the American republic has truly overcomeits vital dangers, and may escape the threat-ened fratricidal strife which some now fear.But u is singular to find the organs of radicalism in England striking hands
ith the opponents of the American government at a moment ofgreat apprehension to the English provincesin America. The Radical party in thatcountry are openly the advocates of Fenian- -lstn, and are iloing what they can to nrge onand aid the Irish in their unlawful attacksnpon Canada. Their leaders have beenload in their denunciation of England, andb ive even descended so low as to attack thereputation of our honored Queen in tbemost scurrilous manner. And vet this un- -English journal can aid the enemies ofCngland In their attacks upon PresidentJohnson, who has already, like a true andupngni statesman, executed the laws of hiscountry, snd foiled the movement which,last June, would have precipitated 50,000Fenians, well organized and armed, uponthe soil of Canada. Well may we demand,in view of such coalitions, what shall wesee next
I have tbe honor to be.Your obedient servant,

From the New York Tnrf, Field sod Tarm,September J
A bright star bas faded from tbe racingfirmament Asteroid bas won bis last race.and now must retire lrom the field wherebright laurels are won. Tbe pride of thev est nas broken oon, and never morewill he carry the colon of Mr. Alexanderto a glorious triumph. On the eve of tbegreatest turf event of modern times, bysevere accident be is deprived ot the poweror motion, and without a strugglemust yield Via pal in of victoryhis illustrious rivals. In his strengthsnd pride, with the future looming gnnd'ybefore him, be te cut down in a momentlike tbe flowers by a sudden frost, and withdrooping crest must pass saulv from thegaze of admiring eyes to where the clondsnang neaviest and darkest His star oasset snd tb other orbs glow less brightlyin tb skv, for with the radiant light oheaven faded a world of splendor. Hejonineyed more than a thousand miles tomeet his great rivals and put forth a nobleetlort make a mighty struggle for thechampionship of tbe American turf.and the ink is scarcely dry thatrecorded b a arrival at JeromePark, before the pen must perform tbe sadduty of reporting him uniiiL- - to appear inine great inau.'-irauo- race. Ua was Inperiect nealtti a lew days a:ro, and was oneof the finest pictures ot a magnificent racenorse xiiat mortal eyes ever inzed nponand now he is but a wreck of bis formerself. On Saturday he showed signs of lameness, and early ou Sunday morning he waspuiiea. up irnin a snort briub witu tue nower oi one iiinu. tiestroytU. He sprungme lennon or tbe right fore leso severely that he will never be ableto stand the preparation for another race.Oil Thursday last thev run him a trial inthe mud, galloped bun aain In the mud onrriday, and it is thougut that the sprain.which was so fully developed on Sunday.originated in one of these trials on theheavy track. The horse was in splendidcondition and bis trill run was so satisfactory that Mr. Alexander was inspired withtne greatest confidence. Had no accidentoccurred, he Caiuia that the winner of tbeInauguration race would have had to havebeaten Lexington's famjus four miletime by f everal seconds. On Saturday
was riding him, when be pulledhim up and found how severe was ihe acci-dent, dropped the reins upon tbe neck oftbe high spirited horse, and burst into tears.Man ua, we sre told, wept over the ruins ofCarthage, and the poet has commemoratedthe act in melodious verse. Manly, then,were the tears tbat tell upon tbe mane of thegreat Asteriod. for eyes never wept noteven tboseof Marius overs grander falla more magnifldent wreck. All of our glo-rious anticipations, on the eve ot tbeir be-ing realized, have been destroyed. Formore than a year the East bas waited towelcoms Asteroid to tbe theater or Ken-tucky's triumphs, and ere the wel-come is complete, they bid him farewell ashe sadly returns to the West not with gor-geous plumage gaily flaunting in tbe windand weaiing the badge of victory, but withdrooping head and banner trailing in tbedust. He leaves us, not like Wellingtonreturning frem Waterloo, but like BoaodiL,the proud Moorish king, yielding up hispossessions to the victorions Spaniards, andretiring from tbe regal halls of his ances-tors. He goes from us with fallencrest, but with a proud, unbrokenspirit He has won his last victory uponthe race course, and henceforth willrevel in the delights of the h. ire in andwin new victories there. He will fiod thevictories of peace far sweeter than thoe ofwar, yet, with sadness we record bis retire-ment from the field or glorious strife. Theblood of Asteriod will course through otberveins, and when we find one of his scionsequaling the greatness of the sire, then, likea wandering Pleiad, we will bail another bril-liant star to reign in a constellation asbright as the Milky Way. Farewell, mightyconqueror of the West prince of royaloioou, ana aon oi a nooie sire, tnougn yoncannot wear tbe laurels of the East, yourbrow is crowned with a wreath of deatblesafame; and voices that would have applaudedyou in the hour of victory, still applaud thygame spirit, snout - wen none, hero, ' andlips falter o er and o'er again farewell!
BRXAKINa DOWN OF "ASTEEOID."
From the New York Times, September J5.Great aensation was created in sportinir
circles yesterday by tbe confirmation of tbereport, extensively circulated tbe day previous, ot tbe breaking down ot the greatwestern racer. Asteroid, wnose anticipatedmeeting wits the renowned champion of theeastern turf. Kentucky, in tbe four-mil-
heat race for tbe inauguration stakes, wasregarded as tue most momentous event tiiatever took place on tbe American turf. Welearned from Mr. Alexander, tbe owner ofAsteroid, that the horse took his exercueon Saturday, and, although he seemed alittle lame on pulling up, it was not thoughtto be of serious importance. He waa gal-loped again on Sunday afternoon, when itwas discovered that the middle tendons ofbis right lore leg had given way. and hisstarting for the race was consequently im- -possiDie. some lew montna ago, wtule intraining for tbe Saratoga cup, the sinews ofthe same leg, below the pastern, filled, andhe was obliged to b thrown out ot trainingfor time. The strong preparation to whichhe was subjected for the race of de-veloped the latent weakness of the part inquestion, and resulted in bis completebreakdown.
Radical Treatment ef a DrunkenHusband Ills Wile Tots Morphine
n His Whisky HotHe and Kills11 im.The Maine Democrat, ot Saco, gives tbe
following details of the late murder of Dr.Sweat of Kennebunk, by his wife :
On Sunday morning last Dr. C. M.Sweat, or Kennebunk, died from the effectsot morphine, administered by his wife.Tbe doctor, nntil within a few. years, hasalways sustained a good character, but inthat time he bas taken to drinking, and onSunday morning be bad a bottle of waiskyhid in tbe nay in his barn, wbich he bad vis-
ited two or three times before the familywere up. His wife sent a little girl to findthe bottle, which she found and banded toMrs. Sweat, when she poured some powderin tbe bottle, and; alter shaking it sent thegirl to replace it in the hay. Miortly after,the doctor went to the barn for a few mo-ments, and came in, after wbich he helpedbis wile about making tbe fire, and Uu nwent and sat down ou tbe sofa, where besoon fell asleep, never to wake. Hi wife,after finding tbat be could not be awakened,took a large dose of morphine for the pur-pose of killing herself, but was discoveredin season to prevent death. Mrs. Sweat,we understand, had given her husband mor-phine two or three times previously, whichhad made him sick, and it was for that pur-pose that she ssys the last dose was intend-ed. Tbe case will be brought before thegrand lury at the present term..
The Constitutional Amendment.The New Tork Independent" declares
flatly that".Yt bailing Republican in Congreu meant
to atknit the ten maitimj kUiUt tJnply on theadoption of the tonMUtUional amendment."
Whereupon the 4New Tork Times" admits that
"Congress at Its last session refused topass a bill for the admission of representa-tives from Southern States, even after thoseStates sbould adopt the constitutionalamendment. Thirty or forty member wi retor excluding tbe Southern States until tbeywould adopt negro autfrage, aa well as tbeconstitutienal amendment Mr.Stevens, Governor Bontwell, and otberleading Republicans, concur with the inde-pendent in saying that negro suffrage willbe insisted on as a condition of admission.What is the "Tribune s'' view of this subject?"
The New Tork News npon this subjectsays:
"Nothing the South can do, no extent towhich her people could go in the way ofconciliation, could influence their fate un-
der Radical rule. To retain them in bond-age forever, to rule them by standing ar-
mies wbich wonld keep them in subjection,and whose maintenance would establish andmaintain an equally crushing despotism atthe North such are the inevitable conse-quences wbich must flow from the successof the Radicals, and no one can vote theirticket who doas not desire to aid in thisconsummation."
TBI AUEXDMEST CAS'T BB ADOPTED.
Against the urgency of the Radical
journals for taking the amendment, theNew Tork World says :
If the ten excluded States stand united.the amendment cannot be forced uponthem until the number of States is In-
creased to forty. True, s few years maysuffice to mike. this addition; but Kentucky and Maryland will equally decline toratify, as tne amendment would also reducetheir weight in Congress. Instead of ten
States, there will, therefore,be twelve; which would require the wholenumber of States to be Increased to forty- -
eight before the amendment could be corned, which will not be In this generation.Nor is it suppoaable that a great tTrtof the white population of Missouriwill be permanently excluded, as at present.from their political rights. As Missouri Isuot a negro sutfage State, the party in pow-er may not choose to hasten its downfall byratitying the amendment In that case,there would be thirteenStates, and thirteen can postpone tbe adoption of tbe amendment nntil tbe number ofStates is Increased to fifty-tw- w bich isgreater number of Mates than we are everlikely to bare; the Territories being onlynine, and the present thirty-si- States beingsixteen less than fifty-tw- Even when tbewhole seven Territories shall have becomeStates, eleven States will sufflee to defeat the amendment.

The Mingling of CnarcH mn4 fttateKBiaoasi to ilota. A .v politicali a arch the (real Necessity of the
Dcab Silt : It is neither cons stent withlove of country nor w.th fidelity to theChurch of God that true men should be si-
lent, neutral, or inditferent, while thesegrea interests sre quaking and totteringnpon their foundations. Are we, sir, eitheras patriot or ss christians, to standby and see this great questiontouching Christ's kingdom and thesafety of the State sink into thedepths of the sea without aa eTortto save them. The condition ot the timesbas been sueb as to enable our orponeuLto d'gnise to themselves and others thepernicious and inevitable result of tbeirconduct, and t successfully use aainsttne uecemui auil malicious cry of traitorsand disloyalists. But times are chanalnz theatmospnere is clearing away, and men arebeginning to appear in their true colors,and in tue deep rad calrie-- i oi their dHimiIn church and state, as tbe President basuniquely aud pointedly expressed it tbeir
-- ua ieen ol tbe nature of oen- -altie, retaliation, and revenge." But thepres ii now open to the readyand able writers of the nation. n,lmen are beginning to open theireyes non the fact that traitorsto tue cuurcn are tae greatest traitors tothe Stale: aod ta hash this nn. anrl tosiDotner u any longer, has become impos-sible. That men, who, by reckless and nar- -
pouey i.ave Deen corruptingiuiiiui, uU suiiLiu:r tne ioor.Li.unni of
all liberty, should escape detection, expos--uir, ,,uu tuuuruiiiaiitn, is not to De ex-pected when tbe panorama of trmti nn.folds its inexorable histories. There are menwho love peace, and love it dearly, hnt not
t me expense oi truia, ngoteutisnesg, audtbe safety of their country.
We do not charge tbese men with a rtirwiana traiioroua design ot destroying ourcoautry and corrupting the cburcn, but wecu.irgc mem wim a wtm and 'unous frenzywh:cu narrows and Perverts their rulnndstorts their judgment, and reuders them aunuu auu aaogeroua element in botbchurch and state. Men full of frenzied fanaticism can never be trus'ed.
Ion know, sir, that this rapid descent tnministerial character beg-i- immediately attne point where the church began to decidetbe political allegiance of States and r.eot.leand to decide the hitherto undecided politi-cal theories of statesmen. This at onefailed the attention of the American peo-ple to the high political assumptionsof the church. And from that day till this,weakness, contention and unconstitutionalviolations and blunders have been th result But men. faitblul to their hiirh .il-
cannot afford to abandon the ehnreh ntGod to the wild, fanatical purposes ot men Iwho attempt to appropriate the church ofGod to works and intentions Tor which shenas no fitness, aud which are totally oppo-site to her nature and destiny. Mo calam-ity can be greater to a country than a busy,ardent, political ministry, aod ail their os-tentatious and officious help, in tie shapeor politics and parties, is still like puttingout lire by attempting to drown it withOil.
With the aid of the enlightened men andtrue patriots of the nation, ve may trust inGol that the younger people and ministersof this generation will live to see this ques-tion lined np so hirh that all men, inchurch and State, shall see it so distinctlyas to acknowledge ita essential necessity tothe life, safety and perpetuity of our nation.This question K sir. vital to tbe eboreb,but not to the church alone. It isvita to the State, and it is amazing thatstatesmen should give so little atten-tion to a subject in the very highestrespect worthy of their most anxiousinvestigation, and which commanded thedeepest regard ot onr great political fath-ers. As long as hotheaded, belligerentprearhers can find their ambition gratifiedand their applause going forth upon winds,while they are preaching politics and working the conrtsof tbejehnrch :orthe purposesof ar. pontics ana nortest part.sanship.neither eboreb nor country can repose upontbe foundations of safety.
Every true friend of his country ia there-fore profoundly interested In the way Inwhich this question may turn. If all thefierce and fiery edicts itsued by churchcourts d ruing tbe late war, and It the spiritmanifested by them sincetogether with the bloody speeches aodstormy displays of passion, are to be drowninto precedent and prestige to eonstitntetbe public seutinvnt ol coming times, thenmay the country bid denanre to peace andthe chnrch bid farewell to her glory.
And what we want now, sir, is not onlythat tbe fljods shall be stayed, but tbat tbeembankments of trulh and righteousnessshall be raised so high, and fouude l so se-curely, that no future floods shall over-whelm them nor pass tbeir boundaries tothe desolation of any great interest politi-cal or ecclesiastical. 1
But there is no greater danger and nostrootrer evidence of it tbun the determina-tion
1still to deiend, uphold, and perpetuate
the military and political acts of churchcourts and to regard them as assurance andsplendor of fime In times to come. Thisproves that these acts were not the resultof mere temporary excitement but that they Iexpress a settled determination to impartto tbe church the character of war, poiiticsand worUI'.iness,
This, sir, makes her a poor, shifting,chafing, snd changeful affair, liable to althe mutations of states, nations, partiesand policies of the world. And shall the realfriends of national and ecclesiastical stabil-ity, purity, prosperity, and honor, stand Istill and see this work of satan proceedwithout an honest and earnest effort to stay Iits progress? The church and tbe State areall tbe heritage we have on earth. Theirvalue to us, therefore, is beyondall price. And If we would leave an in-
heritance to the future of Infinite value, wemu't leave a Church snd State workingharmoniously and supportingly side byside, but ever and sacredly apart
But, sir, if we wish to break down thepower of the church and to destroy hermoral Influence over the people; if we wishto leave the nation without moral prin-ciple and aapport. then let us aidthese men with whatever of strength wehave. Let us fill our seminaries aud pulpitswith polities. Let the terms of churchmembership be based upon the politicalopinions of parties, and let men be pun-ished for their political views any sympa-thies by taking away their church property.Let ns hold up the church to tbe world aaa great political power to decidethe political allegiance of parties,to determine the political theoriesof statesmen, and to decide infallably theright and the wrong of martial and politi-cal conflicts. Or if we wish simply to takeour ease and float with the current, let nscount the value of brick and mortar and tbeinconvenience of being disturbed in ourchurch relations. Let us follow the pro-gressive order of things. Let us no longerthink or set as if Church and State weredifferent Let us show to the world thatthe church Is a war power and nota peace power; that Christ was mistakenwhen he said hi kingdom was not of thisworld; that be is no longer tbe prince ofpeace, but tte god of war, and always onour side of politics, w being judge.
