It sees a way for President Johnson out of bis present and prospective troubles and into the Presidential chair for the next term. That way is for him to rtrigk and take to? stump around the cities as candi date for re-election. By so' doing, the Her ald says, the "radicals" will be broken to pieces, being now held together only by then seal to demolish him, and he will be borne into power by a popular wave that will-be By, all means Jet Andy, John son trv the Herald's ureecriprion. Here il The reaction whieh is advancing is not nor Rennblican. It is the great com mon sense of the people springing to save the wreck.

The people have seen the Democratic faction of the North lick the feet of its masters, the Southern rebels, and have seen it die with the rebellion. They have seen the radicals stripping instead of repairing the wreck, and now they cry "to the rescue Well, is it needed; but who will lead?

-The Charlotte Va.i Chronicle has no faith in help from the Democracy It says "The war is not ended while this organization. keeps up a desultory fight. It is within the range of possibility that the north is going to give power to the Democratic party, which professes to be the special champion of the couth, waicn was at heart opposed to the which aims to undo all that the North is so proud of having done in the past six years? one can convince us that the Northern people love the couth bet ter than themselves, then we can see why they should hand over the Government to men like Vallandigham and Ben. Wood and Pendleton The thing is nonsense on its All that we can expect of the North is to mitigate its polioy, not to reverse it. But while that policy is actively assailed by a compact organization lik the Democratic we shall neither get mitigation nor reversal.

Did the opposition and the vetoes of President Johnson arrest or stimulate the anger of Congress? Did the interference of the President and the Attorney General in June last with the military commanders help matters, or bring on a July session of Congress and a more stringent military bill And while Congress may not tighten the reins again, it is cer tain that it will not relax them while the President or the Democracy is keeping up the attack on them."

There was Borne objection to the adoption of this report on the part of both the extreme advocates and opponents of the prohibitory law. The report was supported by Richard II; Dana, and Rev.

Air Thompson, whoswdjQ a'ij JL, 1 I heartily endorse, the remarks made by the Dana, Jr. It is known that the law of 1852 was passed by the Coalition party of Free Soilers and Democrats', and the law; of 1855 was passed by the American party It got every vote in the House but five or six and every vote in the Senate. And so strong has been the feeling in favor of it that it has stood ever since, and is going to stand as long as you do." i The Republican party never passed the liquor law; we did not ask them to do it. The temperance people of this Etate can take care of themselves. (Applause.) I am opposed to the interference of anybody with the Republican party, Matters are too serious at Washington to let any side if sue be introduced here.

Nor need we sink the temperance cause to save the Republican party. The report of the committee I think wise and judicious, and I hope will be adopted." tTte report was then adopted with very few opposing The resolutions adopted declare that An drew Johnson's flagrant abuse Of bia powers and resistance to the will of the people make -it imperative to employ every constitutional v-. means to curb him and, deprive him of the power of harm and. pledge the support of to Congress in all measures 'they may adopt for that end, even, if neces--Eary, to impeachment return td i Congress, the i military commanders' and the 'freedmen, and approve the administration of -Gov. Bullock.

With a speech from Senator Wilson, who in reply to predictions that the State might be lost to the Republicans, that they might as well talk of losing Vermont, and tb at the Republicans- would carry all the of the Union next year. for the nom wee for President, the Convention ad journed. 'K The action of the Republicans' of: Massa chusetts eeema to us tor have been eminently judicious on all points. Of coarse those who would have been glad to see a definite adoption of a prohibitory-law plank in the party platform, were not exactly suited mneh less were the hi L. who came.
