mr. seward.
Mr. Seward is equally free in the ox*
pression of his opinion <?n the present
status of affairs. He is essential!y eon*
servative, and with the President in his
policy. He believes that the Southern
t>Ar.r,tn a ?/. n/.t'iii,# tti rrAi i/l in f Itio
fjccpiu mu av.un? m t^wuvi lami ?t? uuo
work of reconstruction; that they are
from iheir past history ninl life, acting as
we must expect they would act; tliat,
with their feelings and knowledge ?e
cold have anticipated nothing else.?
They cannot change in a day. Their
princip;es, fe-lings and la-Iiefs are the
growth of years, lie believes that all
will come out right; that the Union party
Cannot be destroyed, as there will always
be ir. this country a majority of its people
in favor of the unity aiul integrity of
this republic, and wh** will find means to
make known their wishes lor the maintenance
of the < Constitution and the principles
upon which this government is
based. The name of this party is very
immaterial. He says that if yon look at
the class of men who have been elected !
as members of Congress and Senators
from the reconstructed States, you w II
find that they are not secessionists, and
never were; that they fought this heresy
>o the beginning, and only went with
tfieir Slates when tliev were forced to go,
citing the examples of Stephens and
many other leading men who have been j
elected from the d ff-rent Suites of the j
South, whose last votes in their Legisla j
tures were cast against secession, and
whose last speeches before the war took j
place were in denunciation of separation; '
and that not one of the old original se-1

unionists of the South? hail anywhere
been elected to office; out tlmt those who
are elected are the proinincnt representative
nieu of the Southern country, and
just such men as we-must expect to he
elected to represent the sentiments of
their people; that they are now working;
in good faith to bring tln?ir States back
to their old relations with the General
Government, and that they ought to he
admitted to C -ngress, and that, the test
oath ought to he so far revised aud remodelled
as to permit these men to take
their seats in Congress. "As for me,"
says Mr Seward, "I ain constitutionally
one of the hopeful kind. I>?-an Swifi,"
said he, '"who was something of a,salesman
as well as a divine, said rhat in every
government there were two clas-es of
inen?tho-e who always believed in and
hoped for the very best, and those who
always despaired of any good and feared
the worst; and tint the truth was about
half way between the two. I belong, j
constitutionally, to uie iormer ciass our,
sir, my reason, judgment and experience, i
and my trust in God, all lead me to he-1
lieve that this nation is hut entering
upon her great and glorious career. I
have a firm faith in an own tiling Providence,
that will bring us through this
contest, as it did through the struggle of
arms just closed."
Mr. DENJTlSOJf.
Mr. Dennison, Postmaster-General,
sees everything couleur de rose: believes
" - that Congr. -KS nd the President will
barmoinze; that just at this time there
is a dark cloud iu the political horizon
which casts sombre shadows upon political
affairs; but, with the eye of hope, he
penetrates beyond this cloud and sees
the sun of tiiuuipli lighting up the view.
He does not believe that, tin* President
intends or desires to separate. Iron the
Union parly, but that the present eon
test is soni thing like the Wade and
Davis attack upon Mr. Lincoln, with the
exception that Mr. Johnson does not
show the wisdom Mnd quaniiuity lnnni
lesieti i// flir. L.i. coin in ins contest.? :
He believ.s that Mr Johnson if equally
pure, true, and .p-itriotic, ami desires very
earnestly that unity aud hannony may
speedily come. We desires to remain in
his present place, and will work to maintain
harmony and to keep tliat-plare; but
it amy be put down as a fixed fact, that
wherever the President goes, Mr. Denni
son will always he.found witliiti the lines
of the Union party. Mr. Dennison is
gentlemanly and yieldinir, to a fault; hut
underlying all ilns sof ih-ks and placidity
there is a gianitic strata thai is g.-nuine
and true, and that can always be trusted.
HE. SPEED, ATTOENEY GENEE.iL,
Is unqualifiedly with the Radicals of
Gongress on the question of negro suffrage,
and opposed to the policy of
the President. Mr. Speed is discreet
in the 'expression of his opinions; does
not unnecessarily harass or oppose the
President, but stands firmly to his
convictions of what he believes to be
the true principles in this contest.
ME. STANTON.
Mr. Secretary Stanto is reticent,
looks a good way ahead, and under no
circumstances will exercise his power
to put men untrue to the Union party
or to the country into place and power.
He is staunch and true, but politic:
is inclined to stand by and go with the
President, but does not agree with him
in all his measures and policy. In a
conversation with a gentleman the oth
er day, he said : "I cannot promise
you this action for the future ; my tenure
of oifice is uncertain; a change may
t ike place an}' day. I could not remain
here, and would not, if required
to make any appointments, or to aid in
any act contrary to my principles and
convictions."
It has been urged upon Mr. Stanton,
by members of Congress, to hold on to
the office till he is put out; if a struggle
conies between xhe President and the
Cabinet, not to yield an inch, for that
the Senato would not confirm any successor
whom Mr. Johnson might appoint.
TflE FACTS.
First. The President does not get
drunk?is temperate and abstemious
in all his habits?does not touch liquor
of any kind, and has not since the day
of his inauguration.
. Second. He is not going over to the
Capperheads, nor is he going to ap
point any man to ofhce who was not
with the Union party during the war
Third. He is going to have every
man who holds office under him support
him and his measures, his . "policy,"
as set forth in his 22d of February
speech, his veto, and his message.
Those who do not support him, and do
take sides with the ltadicals in Congress,
had better look out for the Executive
axe, for it will surely fall.
Fourth. Audrew Johnson is as honest
and patriotic a man as lives on the'
earth. He is just as combative ' and
stubborn as he is honest.
Fifth. Hear to hini as his first born,
yea, precious as the breath of his' nostrils,
is his "policy." Before his determination
to sustain and carry through
that policy all other considerations
must go down. To that "policy" he
would sacrifice any and all personal
friendships?yea. his very life would
weigh nothing in the scales against his
determination to carry it throu'gh.
Why ? Because he has, after long
days and weeks and months of earnest,
thought, study, and prayer, concluded
that the salvation of his country and
the welfare of the people depend upon
it.
However much we may differ with
him in judgment, we can but admire
his Spartan heroism and dauntless
courage.
"What is the President's "policy,'"
upon which he is risking so much?''
many inquiro. "What is this chimera,
tills phantom, this ignis fatuus 'policy"
that is leading the President this wild
dance!."
That I- cannot fully answer. Ilis
message, veto and speech will best give
it. The principle ingredients of thai
policy are:
First?That the constitutional rights
of the States and the people thereol
shall not be infringed or trampled upon
by the General Government.
Second?That the States have the
right to determine for themselves tinqualification
of voters, and that tinGeneral
Government caii no more in
ICiiUl O >> 11/11 biiat 111 K^VUUU V>IW.V?JLA
na than in Massachusetts.
Third?That whenever a member oi
Congress from and one of the thirtysix
States, presents himself for a seat in
Congress, and can take the oath prescribed
for each and every member oi
that body, Congress has 110 right to exclude
him ; that Congress can proscribe
rules that will apply to all its member.but
cannot inviduously legislate against
members from sections of the country,
or that only apply to a part of that body
or a part of the States.
Fourth?lie does not believe in the
Stevens doctrine of "State suicide."
Fifth?He is opposed to negro suffrage
at this time; think they are unfitted
for and have not the requisite capacity
to intelligently exercise that sacred
yet dangerous privilege.
MY CONCLUSION.
Congress and the President will never
harmonize. They will remain asunder
and divide even unto the end.
It is immaterial how this seperation
is caused?the result is equally dangerous
in its consequences to the party in
power. It may be charged, on one
side, that the President has switched
off the party track; and on the other
hand, that Congress has followed the
lead of these crazy Radicals until they
have run them into the camp of the
enemy?the disunionists. The fact remains?they
are seperated. My conclusion
is that Congress, under die lead
of these old parliamentary Radicals, has
gone a little too far and too fast, and
got away from both the President aiid
the people; that the President has stood
still since the day of his election, and
has failed to keep pace with the pro
-Pil 1 _
gress oi uie people.
The President will not go over to
tho "Cops," nor appoint any of theni
to office, but will not shake them off,
if, for their Own party or selfish motives
they see proper to support his policy
and measures. I have no doubt he
would be glad to form, out of tho moderate
and conservative Union men and
the better part of the Democrats, a new
and third party. But the testimony of
men of the Union party upon whom he
has called for an opinion as to the feasibility
of this plan has been so universal
and emphatic that they would not
be found in the company of these Copperheads
for any consideration, even
in a decent place and for a decent object,
that the possible fulfilments of this
dream?if it ever really existed?has
pas ed away.
The President will use all tho power
ho has, in the way of patronage and
influence, to bring men to his support,
and will cut off those who are against
him. For this he cannot be blamed.? j
A new d* a1, will probably be made in j
i' i ' "'i"' n -~tpt the
Cabinet. Secretaries Stanton and
Harlan, and Attorney-General Speed,
are notoriously opposed to' the President.
They are inharmonious elements
in the Cabinet at this time.1
am satisfied that no man can act as
mediator in this contest?the man who
attempts it will be ground to powder
between this advancing glacier, Congress,
and this immovable mountain,
"the greatest of the Andies."

Internal Revenue Tax.
A correspondent of the Columbia
Phoenix, writing from Washington, under
date of the 17th February, says;
"The Internal revenue, for the upper
part of the State of South Carolina, is
to be assessed and collected as soon at
the officers can be completed. No taxes
will be assessed or collected on any
subjects ot taxation prior to outti May
180;), which is the (lute of the establishment
of the collection districts in South
Carolina, except the taxes on incomes
which will be collected for the income)of
1801, and since. All manufactures
dis'illed liquors, and other subjects o
taxation, produced or occurring sinci
10th May, will be assessed and taxed]
It is thought in the department an<.
elsewhere here, that the oath of ofhet
will be so modified, at least in regard
to postmasters and revenue officers
that there will be no difficulty in obtaining
Southern men who can talco it
A decision lias already been made, al
lowing payment for stationery, qffici
rent, postage, &c., to the offiers 01 the
internal revenue in the South, who, ayet,
cannot draw tlieir salary by reason
of the oath."

says that lie shall.
Shall negroes intermingle with our

Shall a negro sup rcedc Grant a*

he can do so.
Is a negro five times bet'er than a
white ruan that the former should vote
immediately, while the latter has to undergo
fivo years' probation if he bring?
his skill, labor and money to this country
from abroad ? The civil right*, bill
declares that the negro is five limes
bettor.
Shall the farms of the great "West

the negroes, aud white labor be subservient
to negro proprietorship ? Tincivil

Are we to have negroes filling the
position of post captains in the United

that we are.
Is this a white man's Government
for white men ? The civil rights bill
says that it is not.
Are we to have negroes representing
this Government as the United States
ministers at the courts of France and
England ? The civil rights bill says
that we are.
Shall negroes sit in Congress, in the
Cabinet and other high stations side by

bill says that he may.
Shall our children see a negrb in the

The Richmond (Va.) Republic is exceedingly
indignant that the ladies of
that city, alter parting with jewelry,

It adds : "If the ladies will furnish us
with the names of these ghouls, and a

to so brand them with their infamy
that they shall be known and despised
throughout the land."

Some time ago, before Mr. Johnson
[iut his heel on the neck of the Radical
monster, Mr. Wkxdkll Phillips, the
icad-and brains of his faction, gave utterance
to some talk about a possible
impeachment of the President. Now
that Mr. Johnson has placed his reto
upon the Radical' heresies, Wendell's
ipportunity has arrived. Let him instruct
his fuglemen, Stevens and Sumner,
to bring in the bill of impeachment.
They seem to have some doubt
as to whether Mr. Johnson be really
President. We think the result of
their little game, if it should be attempted,
would satisfy them that he is
very like one. Let the bill be brought
in, "by all means," as Tuadeus would
say.
