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

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. {
