It is significant: "WASHiNarox, Sopt. IS, 1867. Geooral Grant openly expresses his opinion that the reconstruction meas ures of Contrress are just and necessa ry, and will prevail ovor all opposi-J won. uii tain budjoci na una nui nv. and never had, the slightest resorve. Toe same is true ot every military comrqander in the SonthA. To argne that such a judgment is bettor than that of J. S. .Black, Heister Clyraer, Fernando Wood, and C. h. Yallan digbam, would be simply to insult the people ; and yet it is precisely these fatter who are asking yoa to take their word and to rejeot the testimony of Grant, Sheridan, Sickles, Pope, Thomas, and Scbofield. These sol diers have tried all the remedies. Tbev were originally inclined to treat the Southern people on the conserva tive system. They examined the pa tient for themselves, and they bave come to the conclusion that the dis ease waa a disease of radical virulonce it could be cured only by radical means. Most of them reached this judgment after they had been betray ed into believing tbat tne measures pi Congress were harsh and unjust, and several of them only yielded to it when they were forced to realize that bad faith and cruel ingratitude were tho chronlo characteristics' of the Southern politicians. President John son, almost alone among the men who voted fbs Lincoln in 1864,. and with- out the aid of 4 single Union soldier of high repute, rejects those eminent authorities, and, backed by the Cop perhead leaders or the norm, incuts that the moasurss of tjongrese are unonNtitniionl1 and null, and openly prepares for their overthrow, for tho purpose of fuicing the rebel States buck into the national councils with ul) and more than all their former power, 1 ho duty of tho people nt the Coming elections ' Is to decide Which Is right--Congri!M, bucked by the verdict of tho Bcnoral.i who Id our nrmios td victor)-, or Johnson backed by the Copperheads, who act ed ns the rear gtiurd of the rebel forces nil thruugh the wnr.' The New York Herald, of Friday, purported to foreshadow his purport) In un plubo rate despatch from this nit, the ef feet of which was to convulse and conetefhate thewbolt) business world This despatch, denounced an gensa tionnl, Is now believed to bo a fuir resume of all of Andrew Johnson's late conversations ; and, as if to prove ita jrenumenesr1, U has never Own de nied by Andrea Johnson himselj, or by any of his rebel orqans Ita likeness to the Ledger despatch of October, 1866, shows bow caretully the dark con spiracy outlined in (he 22d ot Febru ary speech ot the same year, lias been kept in view. Ihe substance of the Herald's development is as follows. "JJo takes one view of the law, Congress another. . lie holds that he can only be removed on 'conviction of treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.' lie holds that a mere difference of opinion as to the constitutionality ot a law between himself and Congress is neither trea son, bribery, nor othor high crime or misdemeanor. He hotdt, thercforo, that ho cannot bo impeachod, bus pended, or removed from office. Congress insists tie can. Alien, no .... mi 1 considors, Congress places itself in an attitude of revolution. It thus vio lates tho Constitution by attempting to usurp the executive power, and must be nut down. How will it be done? The President, acting for the best in terest ot the country, and deeming tho safety of tho Republic will issue a proclamation prorogueing Congress, call ing for an election of nevx members, ana invoking the aid of the people to snstain him. This, I am assured, is the view the President takes' of tho impeach ment muddle, and thft way ho will act should the occasion arise. Under the Constitution the President has the power to prorogue Congress only in case of a disagreement ' to adjourn? Hut in a great public oinergency, whore the life of the nation is at stako, the President considors the exercises of extraordinary powers justifiable. Moreover Cowtress, bu assuming uncon stitutional powers, ana attempting to ae stroy the Executive, disqualifies itself, is no longer a lawful Congress, Out a ooay of usurpers and traitors, as sucn tney have no rirrhts the executive is bound to respect, and the Executive will deal with them accordingly., Tbe President's theory is that they first naugurale revolution by attempting an act subversive of the Government, and upon them will rest the responsi bility of any strife or confusion that may follow. , At the Bame time the Washington correspondent of theCharlcston(S- C.) Courier, writing, doubtless, under ine same inspiration, published tho follow ing The President has boen often advis ed and urged by the peace Democrats, so-called,) or ' Copperheads, as can ed in the .Radical slan?, to perform some grand coup d' etat by which tbe neonle would be at once awe-siruqs and deliehted, and thus save himself from the disgrace ot causeless im peachment and removal without re sistance It was even snggestea that be would disperse this 1'ortioth Con gress last July. But he was not then pto the mark, ihere was no stun n the whole Cabinet for any energet ic movement. Beside, the Presidont does not always act upon the theories which he adopts, lit mat, however, if properly supported by those around bjm, annonnce in a proclamation at an ea'lyday, or before the meeting of Congress, that it is bis constitutional right and duty to see that the Consti tution, as tho supreme law of the land, shall be preserved inviolato, and that as the acts of Congress ate unconstitu tional, they are null and void, and shall not be further executed. An issue will thus be made between the resident, who stands on tbe Constitntion, and the Ramp Congress, which body is banging on the verge or tne consti tution," and claims, in fact, to "act outside of tbe Constitution." . The President must of course, have . . t l . L 1 J as an adviser ana advocate a ooia strong man before he can thus set Congress it defiance. Mr. Seward would oppose his new position. But Judge Black is quite ready to support it with the utmost araar ana aomiy. a ne State Department will be offered to Judge Black, aod be will aocept it with the utmost confidence In the jus tice and also of the success of his views. ' ' ' That Andrew Johnson will precipi late tbii revolution, if the people at the coming elections vote for tho Cop. perbead ticket, i bolieved by every gentleman with whom I bave convers ed since my arrival in Washington, and I bave mioglcd with many of the a SEPTEMBER 27,. 1807. highest rank and authority. Tbe con summation of the plot seems to be left aim out entirely to himself. Every pure patriot stands aloof from him. He has no counsellor in his Cabinet, and so he advises only with the men who fomented the rebellion and calumniat ed himself. Every member of his Cabinet, with the possible exception of poor Mr. Welles and pro tempore iiincmey, waits lor a dismiHsal, und the clerks In the departments discuss his plans as they would discuss the actions of a lunatio. Many good raon, unuole to account tor proceedings so nt war with all ftiith and la.w, openly J.'.i l-! ! i- - ' ' ' ' ' f uuuiare mm insanu. , ..,., It is a very simple question, there fore, for the people ; to decide: Shall this infuriated madman, be en cou raged by their Votes or ot7 'One would suppose such a question vtiry easy ot solution, admonished, as they are, by the exultant calculations of treasonable Copporhouds, and by the terrible warnings of the businoss bar ometer. 'But Andrew Johnson thinks differently. He thinks the people are ready to destroy themselves simply to grainy bis savage nature. We shall see. Occasional. ' Speech or General Cooper, at the Boraer states convention. . The presiding officer then inter' oduced to audience .Gen. Cooper -of TeiiD as his own long tried friend and neighbor, and one who bad v arisen from the ranks to the position of Gen eral in the Union 1 armv. i Loud ap plause. - ' : beneral Coopor said that be was lately from the command of what was known in Tennessee as "BrownlowV militia." The Jiobels thero did pot call them Statu militia, but onlv Brownlow's militia, and he thought the name was good enougbi There was only about seventeen hundred of them, all told, black and 'White, but ho could say, as was said during the War, "tho colored troops did nobly." These Kebeis had talked ot tbe negro as an nferior raco, und that they could be controlled, but in Tennessee the col ored iiion conldn't bu bribed and could- not be scared, but voted just1 as they pleased. Applause. The people of Maryland and Delaware need not be afraid to trust them. In Tonnensee the State Government bad been reor- ganzod after' a plan ' designated by Andy Johnson, who aflor being tbe originator of the scheme; Concocted a plan to break it up, and in the elections that had been held to fill the places of the boilers irom tbe Legislature they had done justice to the colored man, and be bad voted, and voted nobly And they had trusted him on tho battle-field they could trust; him with the ballot. Tennessee had givon thirty thousand Union majority for tbe Union ticket in August laot, and had elected almost the entire ticket.. In ono part of the State, whore the .Rebels were largely in the majority, ' about 2500 or 3 000 colored men ' had been hindered from voting, because thq Rebels bad said to them, "If you vote we ll kilt you," and a colored tnar. didn't like to die any bettor than a wbitq man, When tho next I'reaicjent came to be elected, Tennessoe would givo 70,000 majority, with her landing Rebels disfranchised, and herooloreq men enfranchised, la Uuat TepQesseo, whore he came from they had in June 1861, giveu 20,000 majority against secession, and in Anguat last after the Union men in those parts had been shot, stabbed and hang by these miserable Robels they had given tho same Union majority, and with colored votes, lie was in favor oi tho Union as they could get it, and not as it waa when traitors wore on the floor of Ccd gross and a portion of the United States were sold as chattels in ,he market. (Applause.) Up wanted free speech, a freo presa, and a free country. These rebels talked about free speech. .What would have been done with a man who stood on this spot in April, 1801, snd lifted up his Voice in favor of the Union ! lie would have boen hung. If they now had all the money that bad been spent in legislation for the benefit of elavery a railroad could be built from tbe Atlantio to the Pacific, andeouip- fiod, and a aohoolbose could bo built n every township in Tennessee. But that money was now spent and gone. That time waa now pluyed ont when a Southern man oould say, M You're a Yankee, you can't come here to poison the minds of my niggers. "(Laughter.) lie was not now talking for tbe ben efit of Tennessee, because there they had now passed Rabiooo, but for the benefit of Maryland and Dela ware, and he would tell them to go home and work and give the color ed man the ballot. It was not enough to 'fi'A idly atill and say Well, be ought to have it." Tennessee had elected William 0. Brownlow as Governor, and he would tell them why this was done. When Andy Johnson and Ed. Cooper had succeeded in Induoing sixteen mem ber to bolt from the Legislature and keep it without a quorum, Governor Brownlow bad issued writs for new elections In tbe district of each bolt ing member, and so filled up a quo rum and passed a coostHutioaal amend mer.t and placed our members in Con gress. Some peOpln said that Brown tow -was a bad man. Ho had his own stylej so had every than,' and he had a right to it. Brownlow's stJye was to tight, these Robels and traitors. Applause. - Many men in Tennes see had voted for Browolow because they knew blin to be a cool and sagacious man, and tbat the- Slate had prospered under, his manage ment. Etheridgo once met my lriejid hero, Maynurd, and struck him, but he made him get back to bis hole pretty last. Tho people, of East Ten nessoe bad taken Muynard aud made him, speak wherever they .wanted him to. To secure the ballot to tho colored man they infest all work. Talk to your neighbor, let him talk to his neighbor, and make proselytes. In' Tennessee they could take cure of themselves, unless the race that the Republican party flud for years pro tected should go against them. Cries of "Never, never," We must keep our pickets welt out and see that" ho man sleeps on his post.' Don't falter hoW. They had some regular troops in Tennessee Under command of Gon- eral George 11. Thoiuns. Applause Those Copperhead' hud trieti, very bard to kick up a row bo ween these troops and the Stale militia, and had most- gloriously failed.'-"Old ' Pap- Thomas" had Haid that he would stand by the re -ular militia of the State because it was a pari, cf the regular State Government. , In,, tho laws of Tennessee there vrerd new sections prohibiting the colored man from holding office or sitting on juries out that would be repealed this winter. There was nota Rebel Or Copperhead eiecteq to tho Mate Sen a to, and only two to the Housoof Delegates. Some of ihwso men raised the cry of nigger equality, ana li you went around into the kitchen you would sco the feature of these very men reproduced in the faces there. Laugh ter.! iben mey said that tboy could pny a negro's . vote with a- pint, of Whiskey,., and , tbat ..haa been tried in Tennessee and had failed. ' , i Rev.. Henry W. Keys of Thennes see, said lhatra Rebol had,' offered him &5.000 for bis vote, and his f riend Daniel Watkins hud beer, of fered a2,50U16r hist - 1 , trenerai looper resumed, saying inai in tne nnt instance be haq .been in favor of letting slavery, alone,, but when the time lie had said ."let him go," and when it came to the question of putting tbe eolored man into the army he had i'oisen,ted because .he believed he might as well be fighting in too imon array as in the field rais ing provisions for tbe Rebels. ("Ap plause.) He would 'again tell" tncrq all to go home,' and work, and to tick to their candidates, and if they were deleateu to got up and try it ov er again in Tennessee- the Uuion League had wanted noses and marked thoin all down, and their enemies had tried hard rto make a split among them bat failed. Some peo ple had said tbat this Union Leagne was nn-awfiil organization. ' IJe knew that hp .haa taken no groaUf obligation n. joining the League than he did when he first enlisted under tbe Star and S tripos: If a man wasn't t) Union man he had no busi ness theie, and if bo was a Union inau it would do him do harm to be theie. t (Long continued applause) - . TheScuttors&lp. .'' , , The duty will devolve upon the next session pf the General Aasombly, of electing a United States Senator, to fill tbe place of Judge Patterson, whose term of service expires the 3d of March. Joca. . We bear of as many as a half dozen prominent men of the Republican, party,' whose claims for Senatorial honors will be nrged. . Any one of them will mako a Senator ac ceptable to our party, and wo trust that a choice will be made without getting up any strife. Fortunately tbe law ot Congress, requiring tho elec tion, gives no time for creating a heat ed contest. The Legislaturs is requir ed to hold the election on the tfond Tuesday after tbey organise, which will be about the ninth day of the ao ion; and tbey hold it separately-in each ilonae. II they fail to agree on the same man, they meet tbe next day in convention, and tSallot from day to day until a choice it made. What tbe loyal people want, is a Senator raited in tbe Republican failb, and they want him elected with out anv strife on contention. A'nox viUt tfTiij.
