UNION “RIGRET.
GENERAL ULYSSES 8. GRANT
SCHUYLER COLFAX.
malicious old disturter who disgraces
the office of President of the United.
"States, has issued a proclamation which
is the crowning outrage of his administration. On the 3d-of July, on the eve
_. of the meeting of the Democratic Con. (vention, Johnson proclaimed amnesty
~ to-all persons who had directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion, except those under indictment, and re_ Stores all ‘their sights except. as. to
___&fe now pending, by
élaves and property of which they were
legally divested under the laws.
_ By what right does Johnson isene
uch & proclamation? Under . what
“plea does he, with: single stroke of
the pen sweep away tlie enactments of
Congress which he himself obeyed
for nearly four years?. What right
has he by proclamation to discontinue
or alter the condition of ‘people of the
United States or any part of them-efter
he was.denied the authority of Congress in the premises? What authority
can he or his friends find for overthrowing by.a single act a dozen laws of the
United States which have been passed
ig accordance with the’ provisions of
the Constitution and not held invalid by
the Supreme Court? He has overthrown .
the reconstruction law, trampled upon
_ the State constitutions of the Southern
States and disregarded the provisions
of the constitutional amendments which
issuing his proclamation. Johnson may claim that he
is not bound to obey any law passed by
& body “hanging upon the verge of the
own words and overthrowing his own
policy, when he by his edict sets aside
a State Constitution. This last act of
usurpation ought to be punished, and .
if Congress does not now impeach it
disregarded the laws of the land, but
ignored the existence of the Supreme
Court. He has combined in himself
the Legislative, Judicial and Executive
authority of the government, and taken
a step which is fraught with danger to
the government and an encroachment
upon the liberties of the people. It is
not the Republican party or its policy
which is threatened, but it is the Constitution and the peace of the country.
Ifa President may trample upon laws,
override Courts and legislate for States
we might as well abolish our Courts,
call home our Representatives and establish a monarchy. The people have
ignored Johnson's policy, and he is now
attempting to fulfil Seward’s prophecy
_ by making himself a King. Having
failed to rule the conntry so as to accomplish his personal and political ends,~~ ‘he is determined to ruin. No man who
has ever occupied public position was
60 muehi influenced by malice and ‘hate
as Johnson. He has no policy except
to revenge imagined wrongs and cares
for nothing except to rule so as to accomplish his purposes, It is a disgrace
tothe country that he has been so long
permitted to continue in evil. On his
trial he escaped by one vote and yet
there was not so grave an offence
charged against himas he has committed by issuing this proclamation. _ It
may be the end of impeachment is not
yet.

Tux New York Herald threatens in
,. Git basa ttth a ected tino the
Paor. Ciniain sie tlh
Theatre on.‘ y evening. His
lecture was inteniled as a replication to
the article of John RB. Mo 4n the
Examiner some tnonths ‘ince, entitled
“The Negro’s Place in Natare.” If
better read and toned down, Prof. Gil
liard would not be without pretensions
asan orator. At times he does well.
Bat his sentences are oft’ times too
long. and sometimes not as complete as
Lindley Marray might exact. Be had
better consult a good dictionary as
thereby he might improve his pronunbetter, before proceeding on 4 lectaring
The intentions of the colored orator
are doubtless all correct, but he certainbasis of his lecture is a grand error
his cause thereby. There is enough in
the life of Toussaint l'Ouverture and
many other members of the African
race, to show that the Negro has eapacities of a high order, and that when the
degrading influences on the race have
been ovércome its attainments will be
of no mean character. Prof. Gilliard
makes a great mistake when he claims
the ancient Egyptians and Carthage-Mians as Ethiopians; and. their civilizations a8 originating in the Negro race.
The claim is utterly without foundation. . The portraits of the Pharaohs as
sculptured on the rocks, represent them
with a high arched nose, the very reverse of the negro, since the curve is
outward, giving the nose an aquiline
appearance. The lips are not as thick
as those of the Negro. Satisfactory
the Ethiopian race is found in the mummies, among which are found no features, sculls, or hair of the Negro type.
The fact that the Negro peculiarities
‘ure caricatured’ on the monuments of}
Egypt, is evidence that the Egyptians
were not Negroes or they would not
thus have burlesqued themselves. The
. sphinxes are supposed to be likenesses
of the Pharaohs, and the flat noses of
those monsters are sometimes taken as
proof that the Egyptians were Negroes
but it seems to be satisfactorily established in the minds of Egyptologists
that the noses of the sphinxes have.
the Egyptians were dark,and approaching black is not doubted. They were
probably, according to scholars, a mixture of the indigenous Nilotic and Pelasgic stock. The language was Semitic,
and allied to the Hebrew, as was that
of Carthage.
The claim that the Carthagenians, or
any of their great generals, were Ethiopians has not a shadow of foundation.
It is conceded on all hands tliat Carthage was settled by Phoenicians, who
were closely allied to the ancient Hebréws, and had none of the peculiarities
of the Negro.
We would suggest to Prof. Gilliard
that if he desires to reply successfully . lev
to John R. McConnell, a shorter lecture
and more to the point would be more
satisfactory than an hour's laudation of
Egyptians and Carthagenians who did
not belong to the race whose capacities
he desires to defend.
THE pirate Semmes and his Seid
‘hung a taw.#hingle out in Mobile, and
have fora client a lottery dealer named
Marks, whom they claim is not amenable to the laws of Alabama because his
place of business is in the United States
Custom-house. The Secretary of the,
Treasury has informed the virtuous
Semmes that the United States Government does not erect buildings to
shield criminals. The pirate, therefore, has again written to the Secretary,
in ‘reply to his letter, taking a highly
dignified and pompous stand, and addressing the Secretary in very disreNo Cuanck.—As it takes 212 votes
to nominate, and Pendleton’s highest
was only 122} the chances are that he
cannot win. Several of the candidates,
such as Packer, Parker and Church,
being little: known, one. ‘of them inay
loom up as Victor yet. “The leas a man

ly falls into a great many errors. The}
itself. He claims too much, and hurts}:
proof that the Egyptians were not of .
been fattened by Arab iconoclasts. That .
Coming with his certificate of election
by nigger votes, is it ‘possible that the
Democratic members in Congress who
represent the “White Man's party will
ever submit to his taking a seai among
antly returned by the votes of Oregon,
ever contaminate his ‘white’ record by
sitting in the sa with a fel.low Democrat sent there by the nigger
votes of a Georgia District? ‘Will the
Democracy, will they, we ask, ever sub:
tour through this or any os Democratic
principles?” »
