Let us see hmv far there peace-iit-iwy-priee
Democrats have a right to claim fellowship
tith the President.
Ilcfnru secession Inaugurated rebellion, dur
ing the political canvass of 1800 Andrew John
son wot a Breokinritlge Dvinoorat. He aoted
and roted with that party at the election in
lijliO. ' 1ut at the session of Congress which
immediately aueueedel that election, in opposi
tion to Jeff Davis and all the rest of the Hreck
iondge party, not excepting Lane and others
from the North, Johnson early disclosed the
I ct that he differed entirely with the Brechin
ri'ltfe Democracy, as to the nature and extent
of the doctrine of "States' rights." On the 18th
of December, 1SG0, in a speech made in the
United States Semite in reply Id Jim Lane of
Oregon, Iversmi of Georgia, VVigfall of Texas,
Davis of Mississippi. Ilenj iinin of Louisiana,
mid other lenders of the lireckinriilgu Deinou

When Johnson made that speech, he parted
company with tho Democracy (except the
Douglas Democracy); nod every one of them
iu the Semite, turned on him ull the batteries
of I heir inaligiiant opposition and hatred, de
nouncing li i in as a linittir to his party, and us
hav ing gone over to the Abolitionists.
Speaking in the Semite of the assaults inudo
upon him by his homer political associates,
Jijiuaixi said :
I lisve been allmkiil mi all hands ami may best,

"Thnee armed is ho who hath his quarrel Just,
And he hut nuked, though toeked up in steel,
Wliose eniiseieiice with seceasiou U uorrupted."
From this we toko it, that tho separation be
tween Andy Johnson and the Democratic par
ly, was then and I hero made finul and com
plete. Turning upon his former political as.
pociatcs, and his (then) enemies, lie uttered
. the following terrible imprecation :
Is there not some chosen curse,
K imu hidden thunder in the stores nf heaven,
l.'wl with uncommon wrath, to blast the man
Who owes Ids greatnese to his country's ruiu.
Such was the "farewell" Johnson gave his
obi Democratic associates and, in replying to
hioh, Lane of Oregon, said (speaking of John
eon)! "And with this remark, I part with him,
who, in Imitation of Esau, seeks to sell his
bin bright." To this insult of Lane's, Johnson
replied, milking Limn soliloquise as follows, as
In left the Senate :
X.iy, then, farewell !

And, from that fall insridiaii or mv vlory,

(The last line Is literally true: as old Joe has
conveyed his land to a relative,' disposed of his
family, anil gone oil' to live In the mountains,
nml is not now seen by whit men rnco a
month.) Such was tho separation between
Andy Johnson ami tho Democrats in 18(50, and
ever since that time a relentless warfare has
been carried on by the Democracy against
liim. lie line been by t'lein denounced as a
"boorish tailor," a "drunken Imbecile," rco
Not stopping at this, iu order to soreen Hooth,

liiouily circulated Ihe idea that Andy Johnson
had oaused the murder of Liucolu iu order lo

Of his present position, his own words are
the best index. On tin) 21st of April last, in a
public speech he sV,id :

THE DEMOCRATIC HtOGItAMMK "AS IT
WAS."
Wo have frequently asserted the want of
genuine loyalty and patriotism among the lend
ers of the modern Democracy ; and we ask our
readers tn remember this matter, and the evi

neighbors who have been honestly following

In a volume entitled "Observations in the
North," by Edward A. l'ollard, which was in
course of publication al Richmond at the time
the city fell into Yunlieo hands, we find the fol
lowing paragraph, winch is worth preserving,
as part nf Ilia political history of the times.
Mr. roiiaru, who truveieii about the .orin on
parole for several months, anil was in confiden
tial intercourse, with "sympithizcrs," says :
"No doubt can rent in history, that at the
time, of the Chicago Convention, the Democrat
ic, party iu t lie North had prepared a secret
programme of operations, Ihe final and inevita
ble eoncluiion of which wai the acknowlrjge
ment nf the independence of the Confederate
.Vui-j. It was proposed to get tn this conclu
sion by distinct and successive steps, so as not
to alarm too much the Union sentiment of
the country. The first step was to be the pro
position of the 'Union as it was' in a Conven
tion of the States ; if that was voted down,
then the proposition of a new principle of fed
eration, limited to the foreign relations and to
Ihe revenue; if that wns rejected, then the
proposition of an inter-Confederate Union to
preserve, ns fur as possible, by an extraordin
ary league, the American prestige ; and if all
these propositions. Intended as successive tests
of the spirit of the Soiilh, were to Injl, then at
Inst Ihe independence of the totileilernte suites

Ihe Demiicratiu parly of Ihe North, as Ihe last
resort of pacification, and Mm one of two alter
natives where their choice could no longer hes
itate. It will be seen from this sketch of the
programme that the design of the Democratic
party of Ihe North on the naked issue of war
and separation.
VVie vlun utterly failed in execution. The
full of Atlanta gave u new lease to the war.
And, aside from I tint event, it would havo fall
en through from the incoherence of the mule ri
als which, at I hut time, com posed the Demo
cratic party. In fact, the party, like all other
Yankee minorities, went lo pieces, and was
swallowed up in tho I'rcsidcutiiil election, ami
may lie said tn have practically disappeared
since then, from tho political arena, where, if it
shows itself ut ull now, it is only lu mock com
bat." WlllNI.NO ABDUT TUB A88A8SINS Tile
Copperheiid papers nre terribly exercised, be
cause President Johnson (whom they profess
to admire) had Ihe assassins of President Lin
coin tried by a military court. They have not
yet mustered up treasonable impudence enough
tn claim that the assassins did uot deserve
death, but taking their present rule of progress,
wo may expect that they will loon assert that
I he acts of Mother Diiiuiiuhlc (Mrs. Surrutt)
Dniith mid others, was "the result or over
teulous patriotism, and deserving of a severe
reprimand." The right to try and punish them
by military law, is clear and explicit. They
were guilty of forming and executing a con
spiracy Inside of a fortified post, in time of ac
tual war, against tho comniun.'cr-ln-clilcf of
the post. All this pulnver about tho "courts, '
"the trial by Jury," which we find In the Cop
perhead papers in connection with these assas
sins, is Just so much covert treason. It is the
same plan they invoked at the outset nf Ihe re
hellion, to save prominent traitors in the north
ern and border Slates. No loyal man has ever
been Interfered with by 'military commissions
or the Seoretnry of War.

Referring to tho sudden conversion of the
Copperhead New York Daily A'eu'S, tho Trib
une says :
"Tho Daily A'e s has given, within the past
few days, some Indications of a change of heart
on the question of negro suffrnge, uud yester
day, in a forcible and well ivriten argument,
avows its Ihnrniigh conversion to that iliK.'trine.
The wonder is that, seeing the truth so clenrly
as it now does, it should have ever doubted.
Fur the fiiith that is in it, it finds a reason, not
In any particular sympathy for tho emancipa
ted slave, or any special desire to right a wrong
ed nice, but In the broad democratic principle
that iu a republic the rights ot citizen ship in
here in the citizen, and that when the black
man ceased to he a slave and became a citiz
en. the elective franchise belongs to him by
natural right, subject only to regulation by the
Stale. This is sound doctrine, though it will
probably take the habitual readers of the AVus
by surprise who hnvo been educated in the be
lief that a black mnn hns bo rights which a
while man is hound tn respect.
1 he war has brought many strange things
tn pass, and not the least strange is this nl an
ultra Democratic paper, Ihe persistent advo
oute, from the beginning, of the Kebcl cause,
thus boldly upholding the extreme result of the
emancipation problem, which timid and lime
serving Republican Journals either fear tn touch
or openly oppose. It may ho one of those
changes of base which The Xrwn has learned
from the Iieliel tactics in war, and winch, un
der some of the Union Generals, were, unhap
pily, too often successful."
In the article to which Ihe Tribune refers,
the Newi goes on to say, that "it believes the
Southern people themselves will acknnw'edge
that the lllucks urn entitled tn the rights of
suffrnge" ; and that "they are by no means
reluctant tn conform their methods of state
policy In the changed condition of affairs."
Tho Nr.wn further says :
"Wo could mention more than fifty leading
ineii in the Southern States who seriously con
sider this the day uud hour when the preserva
tion nml stability ol noothcru interests impel
them tu return on this subject to the ancient
policy oi me curry nouiiicrn stiitcsinen.
Had the editor of the Oregon Arena been
entrusted with tlu duly of making the above
reference to the historical truth, he would have
said ns follows :
The men of America, nicety vents aao in
defence of this doctrine, repudiated Ihe inter
pretation put. upon it by tho mock patriots of
to-day, for they refuted to nuiko no distinction
helm-en white men and negroes in the mutter
of suffrage. Arena of June W. '
If anybody in tho Democratic party can
speak with authority for that party, it is the
Newt, which has been for four years past iu
heartier sympiitiiy nml closer coruiniinion with
these lending Southern men than other journal
or individual north of Mason and Dixon's lino.
That the article iu Ihe Acres should have been
written ut till, is pretty good evidence that it
was writtteti by good uulhority.

We make the following extract from a speech
of Jiaj Lane's, inudo in the United States Sen
ate March 2d, I8C1. in reply to Senator (now
President) Johnson. Lann wits defending

Considered in the light of subsequent events,
Ihe ubovo is a strange mixture of tho comical
ly ridiculous, nml absurdly ironical phnses of
human action. "Living iu history." indeed.

" FLA M IIKIttl AHTIt Y" AND "Ft.AP-DAUUI.R.'
Tho Jlrvirw makes the following transcen
denial appeal to tho "faithful few," to keep out
of Ihe Union parly:
"They (the Democrats) will not remember
that four yenrs they huvfl lived under a reign
of terror, that this puny (the Union party)
Ihat has so "successfully conducted the alburn
of the nation" for tho Inst four years, have
overridden Constitutions, ignored laws and scof
fed nt justice, civilization and hutnniiity ; that
they have openly nml uulilusl.iiigly advocated
mobs, robbery murder, arson, nseuesinntion, nml
nml every species of cruelly, oppression and
brutality. They will tail in remember that
this party has armed and turned loose hordes
of black devils w nil license to ravage n country
only inhabited by our helpless and unprotected
coiiulry woiocii uud their innocent babes; they
will forget that those infernal agents uoinmitteil

of uu Algeriue piralu run eliiil ami bring the

Why didn't you add, that the Abolitionists
had turned loose the grizzlies, wildcats ami
"Wriitllctuaix"; that they hud failed to lie up
the delirium trement, imprison Ihe small pox,
and abolish the itch. "Nouseuse" Tony,

CAI.irORNIA Politic. Tho Copperhead
papers of this Statu have been Immensely jubi
lant at what they supposed In be the disrup
tion uf thu Uulou party in California. The
whole of .the fuss In California consisted In a
contest between Gov. Low, and some other
leading Union men. as to who should succeed
MoDougall in the Senate. Matters went no
lively enough for awhile, and the contest final
ly culminated in k row in the Sacramento Co.
Convention. Since that event. Gov. Low has
published a card, formally withdrawing his
name from the Senatorial canvas, and that
puts an end lo the trouble in the Union party.

I should have written tn you long igo, had it
not been that I knew the lelrgruph would fur
nish you nil items of news and iot-rcit many
weeks in advance of any comiiiuiiicttinn that I
could send to you. I arrived in 'Vnshington
on the Kith of February, and leftoi the Mth of
March. I witnesfeil the inuniruraiiin ceremo
nies on the 4th of March ; was tilths Senate
Chamber when Andrew Johnson delivered bis
inaugural address ; saw nml heard ill that was
done and said on that occasion ; uud wts so far
from thinking him intoxicuted. that the idea of
liquor or drunkenness never entered ni? iiiinu
ut that time, nml probably lever wou'd. if I
had not heard of it from otherr. I dwit pretend
to say thnt he was not under the influence of
liquor; hut if lie was, he showed to liltlu sign
of it that the idea did not occur to tu. To
say the least that truth would justify, tlis mat
ter has been greatly exaggerated, to M. John
son's injury and the scandal uf the niiton.
I had but two short interviews will Presi
dent Lincoln during my stay in Washington,
and at each of these, I was favouhly im
pressed with his wisdom, candor uul thu be
nevolence of his heart.
Soon after my arrival, iu Washingbn I lenrn
ed that the President did not inlaid the in
cumbents of ullicu should bo chang'd, except
fur corruption or manifest incorniierncy this
was at least lo be thu general rile. This
course, it was thoueht, would relieii him nf a
vast amot'iit of labor, when his etsrgies were
ulready greatly over-taxed.
While I have ereat confidence in tho energy
nml ability of President Johnson I confess
that I have some fears that lending rebels w ill
be let off too lightly. I would tnit have any
man executed to satisfy malice, r for the sake
of reveiiL'e, but I would have it done, first.
to eostuiti tiio confidence' of hryal and law-

The Statu or Okkoon m. Lank County.
Hon. It. E. Sti niton, Judge of the 2d. Ju
dicial District, has decided this cuso uguiust
the County. In deciding tko onse, tho Judge
discusses tue following questions :
1st. Do taxes levied by a State for its own
municipal purposes fall within any terms nf
lie Act of CmigrciM, or in other words is a tax
a "ilrbl" within the meaning nf that Act.
!M. Admitting that a tax is a debt, bus not
a Statu ihe legal right to discriuiiniiti and col
lect its revenue lu any lawful curreicy of the
United Stales!
The Court decided that a "tux." is not a
"debl." The second poiut is disputed nf as
follows :
Has a State the legal right tn collect its rev
enue iu any lawful currency of lis- United
States, whether paper, or gold ami saver, or iu
one to the exclusion of the other I 1 think a
Stale has that power. Not only timv a State
support its municipal organization hv levying
tuxes in any kind of currency, hut it may
equally impose a tax payable in kind, or in
personal services, nml the law mukiut soverigu
puwer of the State hns the same authority to
uominuiiil mo lo serve the Statu two tays in a
year ns Judge of thu 2d Judicial District, ns it
lias to compel me to worn tlie same number
of days on the high way wilhoiitcoiupeusution.
uud it is entirely optional with the legislative
power, w hether I shall have the pro i lei; e of
commuting Ihat service lira puvuienlnl mon

Clare in what maimer u State ui:iv raise its
revenue, is to say that a State has no inde
pendent existence, that every question tuny he
subordinated lo the will of Congress. The
power to raise revenuo is the very hie nf the
State, and if Congress may luwlully dictate
the mciine, it may destroy the State, a
power which the Nn'ionul Legislature may no
more cluim, than a Mute the right to destroy
t.ie General Government.
Quito a number of Law Itepnrti nre cited
to sustain the decision on Ihe lirst poiut ; uud
the opinion of Alexander Hamilton, as express
rd in tho Federalist, is relied ou in ilecidinir
the second poiut. Wo nnil.rsland that the
case is to be appealed.
WoxtTakbthe Papers. 1'. J. M alone,
editor of Ihe K'lwrter, in one nf his letters
frem the North, makes a terrible complaint be
cause the Dcmocruts wont lake and support
Democratic papers. lie stntes the Well known
fnct that (he Democratic parly has no great
Influential papers.wtth circulations of hundreds
uf thousand of copies like the New York Tri
bune, Herald and Timet, and others in the ad
vocacy of Union sentiments. We could sug
gest to M alone that it is not for the want of
money that Democrats do Dot support their pa
pers. Democratic States do not encourago
school teachers, nor build up schools, and it
happens thereby, that tho young Democrats
don't learn lo read. Gen. Sherman relates
the disgraceful fact that nf ten thousand names
on the rebel army rolls surrendered by Gen
Johnson, more than eight thousand names were
signed w ith an X, showing an alarming degree
of igiiorance anion rebel soldiery. Democratic
slave States do not patronize the newspapers
they do not encourage the common school
system. These facts go hand in hand, and
constitute at once the most hitter satire and
greatest argument against that party.
Indian Trtoiuu.ra in Aki.ona. By late
news from the Southern coast we learn that
the Apaches are very hostile. On July llth
they attacked a traio near Tucson and killed
fonr persons. The previous dsy they attacked
soother traiu but retreated apon the arrival of
a second train. About 9.000 Nevajore had
broken loose from the Indian reservation tn
New Mexico, established by General Connor,
and il was feared they would devastate the
country.

Francisco, Aug.!). The Steamer I hi AVrc,
Which s -ly took the rcsuuo parties to the
scene of the wreck of the Jtrollirr Jonathan,
arrived here at half past two o clock to-dnv.
The following particulars have been received :
The Brother Jonathan left San Francisco ou
Friday noon. The north wind wns strung at
the outset, but the sleamer made fair progress
until ufter sunrise on Sunday. The wind then
beenmo so violent that less than hnlf of the
cabin passengers came to tho breakfast table.
At the twelve o'clock lunch a still less number
was present.
Captain DeWnlf took the hearing and in
formed the officers that the steamer was four
miles north or the latitude of Point St. George,
which point is three miles above Crescent City.
The wind continuing to increase in vinlenoe.
Capt. DeWnlf, at I o'clock, gave orders lo
turn the steamer and steam for Crescent City
harbor, sixteen miles sonth-easlerward, The
intention wns to anchor in the bay till tlm next
morning and then resume the trip. The Quar
termaster. Yates, suvs that tliev had roturnd
seven or eight mites, and were eight miles duo
west uf Point St, George, when without warn
ing. th steamer struck with full fnrcu upon a
sharp ledge which at tlio lowest eon projeuu-u
about a yard above tho surface. Tho bottom
of tho steamer went to pirces with a crash in
three minutes. Tho wheelman says that large
fragments of the bottom and apart of tlie rud
der were afterwards seen alongside the wreck.
There was no fraptieisin among the passengers,
though they as well us the officers must have
had a full sense of their awful peril. Captain
DnWolf ordered una of the unto bouts lower
ed and filled with passengers, under the first
mate. None ol thu rcscucu saw ner mi sue
wns floating bottom upwards. The Captain
then ordered the second mute to lower his
boat, which was already filled with female
cabin passengerss among whom wns Mrs. Gen.
Wright. The hunt was lowered, but before
tile seamen had lime toman her, thu steamer
caroened and upset her, throwing all on board
. into Ihe water. The mute drew up such of
the ladies ns he could reach from the steamer's
chains, where he held on. It wns now fifteen,
minutes since thu shuck and the steamer was
going to pieces. The third mate. Mr. Putter
son, was ubeil. When the crush came he low
ered his small boat, mid hurried on hoard live
women and threu children who were nearest
nt bund; eleven of the crew leaped after hint,
including to wheelmen, steerage steward and
two firemen. Tho loud was large for the boat
nml she dipped incessantly, but Ihu strong arm
and coolness ol Ihn mate brought her within
twelve miles of Crescent City harbor. Two
L'hns were fired, but alter the boat had left tho
steamer, and she dieiippuure.1 under the billoivs
iu about fifteen minutes, dipt. DeWnlf. Gen.
Wright, Mr. Lord. Wells. Fargo & O.'s mes
senger, and Mr. Neshit were on deck when
lust seen by the rescued crew. There weru
two bunts ou deck when the third mate left but,
owing to Ihe terrible violence of the sea it is
not iirolinble that either of them could be lann
cheii. The citizens of Crescent City immedi
ately sent out boats, but found it utterly iuipos
sihlc. to go within eix miles of the wreck. The
iittcmp were renewed on mnniluw and Tuesday
but it wns not till Wednesday nfteriioon that
the spot could be reached. The boat prohnli
Iv lies one hundred and fifty feet below thu surf
ace. Thero were about seven hundred tuns of
incrchaiiilisu freight, besides thu passengers'
baggage, all closely under hatch. At this time,
Sunday, 3 P. M uut a single body has been
recovered, or a person heard of save those w ho
reached shore iu tho boat of Ihu third mate.
It is generally thought that fragments nod
Hunting bagg ige drifted southward. A shat
tered boat, mat trass and a few buckets, nre
nil that have been picked up. Something
more will probably drift ashore between here
mid Humboldt i but we nre reluctantly led to
believe that not another living person of Ihe
Iwu hundred and forty on the ill-iutcd steamer,
save Ihe nineteen now here, will ever be found.
Latkii. At Gold lllnlF. between Crescent
City nud Trinidad, a body was picked up. Il
