<P SOESE AS AE RE IOR Ro +See x Presa Jounson.—The President ‘is totally devoid of every qualification of ‘a statesmen, ora great party leader.. He sane ___ has never uttered-a single sentence or done & dinglé act which etfitles him to the name of statesman, and asa party leader he attempts to make his own will the creed, and when any opposition is made to “‘his policy he enters the lists uninftuenced by reason or right, determined to fight to the bitter end. The September number of the Atlantic Monthly has an excellent article on “The Johnson Party,” ‘in which " the'writer gives a vivid sketch of Johnson’s character, “The President of the _ United States,’ says the writer, “has so singular a combination of defects for ,the office of @ constitutional ‘magistrate, that ho could have obtained the opportunity to * misrule the nation only by a visitation of Providence.: Insincere as well as stubborn, cunning as well as unreasonable, vain.as well as ill-tempered, greedy of popularity. ag well-as arbitrary in disposition, veering in his mind as well as fixed in his will, he who, by strange chance, have found themselves at the head of a constitutional government, he-most resembles the last Stuart king of. England, James 11.; and the likeness ig. increased from the circumstance that'the American James has, in his supple and plausible Seerétary of State, one fully competent to play the part of Sunderland.” law no longer protects game from the hinter, and with the rising of the sun to-day the slaughter of innocents commences, For a week past the sportsmen have been getting their guns ready, and a number started out last evening in order to get an early “pop” at-the quails this morning. ‘Game is unusually abundant this year, but is not so far advanced as usual, many coveys of quail not being more than half grown, and nate a little in their shooting. The following extract from the State laws applies to this section ;It shall: not. be lawful for any person, or unites in his character the seemingly op. persons, hereafter to take, kill, or destroy, posite qualities of demagogue and autorat, dnd converts the Presidential chair into a stump or a throne, according as the impulse seizes him to cajole or to comniand. Doubtless much of the evil developed in him is due to his misfortune in having beem lifted by events to a position which he lacked the elevation and breadth of intelligence adequately to. fill. He was cursed with the possession-of a power and authority which no man of narrow mind, bitter prejudices, and inordinate self estimation can exercise without depraving himeelf as well as injuring the nation — Egotistic to the point of mental disease, he resented the direct and manly opposisition of. statesmen’ to his opinions and moods as a personal affront, and descended to the last degree of littleness in a political leader—that of betraying his part}, in order to gratify his spite. He of course became the prey of intriguers and sycophants--of persons who understand the art of managing minds which are at once arbitrary and weak, by allowing them to retain unity of will amid the most palpable inconsistencies of opinion, so that in constancy to principle shall not weaken force of purpose, nor the emphasis. be at all abated with which they may bless today what yesterday they cursed. Thus the abhorrer of traitors has now become their tool. “Thus 'the denouncer of copperheads has now sunk into dependence on their support, Thus the imposer of conditions of reconstruction has now become the foremost friend of the unconditioned _ return of the rebel States. Thus the furious Union Republican, whose harangues against his political opponents. almost ‘seared his political friends: by their vio lenee, has now become the shameless betrayer of the people who trusted him.— And in all these changes of base he has appeared supremely conscious, in his own mind, of playing an independent, a consistent,and especially a conscientious part. Indeed, Mr. Johnson’s character would be imperfectly described if some attention were not paid to his conscience, the purity of which is a:favorite subject of his own discourse, and the perversity of which is the wonder of the rest of mankind. Asa public man, his real position is’ similar to that of a commander of an army, who should pass over to the ranks Uf--the’ enemiy he was commissioned to fight, and then pledd his individual convictions of duty as & justification of his treachery. In truth, Mr. Johneon’s conscience is, like his understanding, a mere form or expression of his will. The will of ordinary men is ad. dressed through their understanding and _ conscience, Mr, Johnaon’s understanding » and conscience can be addressed only “through ‘his ‘will. He puts ihtellectual ‘principles and the moral law in the poseessive 8 he pays them a complid adds to theirauthority when he makes them the ‘adjuncts of his petted _ pronoun “my”; and things to him are -Teasonable and right, not from any quality dibh vast aber 4 any of the following game within the time hereinafter specified, namely: quails, partridges, or grouse, mallard duck, wood duck, teat duck, and spoonbill duck, and all other broad bill ducks, shall not be taken, killed, or destroyed, between the fifteenth day of. March and the fifteenth day of September in each year. A Grand. OLD FeEtiow.—Cardinal Wolsey’s residence was by luxury and magnificence unequalled by any subject, and scarcely surpassed by any kind. “His copes and robes were the richest.ever seen. He maintained a train of 800 persons, among whom were nine or ten lords, fifteen knights, and forty squires. His domesties were persons of consequence, for his cook wore a jerkin of satin or velvet, with a gold chain round hisneck, When Wolsey rode forth, his comely figure was decked in silk or satin of the finest texture, and of the chest scarlet or crimson dye ; his hat and loves of scarlet, and his shoes. silver gilt inlaid with pearl and diamonds. His mule was trapped with crimson velvet, and his stirrups were of solid silver. And when it pleased the king’s majesty, for his recreation to visit him, “the banguets were set forth with masks and mummeries in so gorgeous a sort and costly manner that it was heaven to behold,” writes his Secretary, Cavendish. There were numerous dames and damsels meet or apt to dance with the gentlemen, and the whole night passed in rp NP daneing, and other triumphant devices to the great comfort of the king, if not to the credit of the Cardinal. A few years later the Duke of Suffolk and Norfolk waited upon Wolsey in those very chambers to demand the Great Seal, and drive Wolsey from his house, which -his royal“master coveted.— Mark Lemon, . DuRING the late session of Congress, prostitution ‘and dissipation rode rampant through the streets of Washington, and virtue hid its head for shame, At no period of our Government, was there so. vile an exhibition of pablic lewdnessat the Capital.— Hopress. The above no doubt has.reference to the march of the procession tothe President's quarters, when Johnson delivered himself of his drunken speech on the 22d of Feb. ruary. The Zeprese is correct, “never was there so vile an exhibition of public lewdness at the Capital.” Johnson disgraced the high position he occupies, and merits the execration of the American people, Let TuEM Try It.—Postmaster General Randall, who heads the original call for: the New York Tribune with explicitly threatening civil war, unless Congress yielded to the policy of the President ; and further that the President would rec. ognize the minority in Congress and the Southern claimants to seats as the true Congress, and maintain its duthority by force. Let them try role, If we mistake not; the effort will cost several heads now in high station, and the guillotine that chops them off will not be a metaphorical one either. { INFORMATION WANTED.—The friends of C.
