Grant. “ Watch over thepreseroatiou of the Union with zealous eye, and indignantly frown upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of the Country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link together the various parts."— Washihuton’s Farewell Address. Andy Johnson—His Political Future- It is fair to presume that Andrew Johnson at last realizes the fact that he will cease to be President of the United States after the 3d oi March next. On the day that he ceases to be President, William G. Bkowxlw ceases to be Governor of Tennessee. On the 4th of March, the latter enters ‘ the United States Senate as the suc cessor of Judge Patterson, John son’s son-in-law. The return of John son to Tennessee, and the retiraey of Brownloxv from the Executive chair, will be events of great importance to the people of that State, in a political point of view. If we mistake not, under the provisions of the State Con stitution, Brownlow's unexpired term . will be filled by Hon. D. C. Senter, Speaker of the State Senale. He is a ' man of ability and of liberal views, and is more than likely will favor a modification of the Broxvnloxv pro gramme of governing. The people of the State will elect a Governor and members of the Legis lature in August, 1869. So it will be seen that Johnson returns to the State just in time to take an active part in the campaign. Most of our ex-l’resi dents have deemed it undignified to engage personally in political contests; but Andrew Johnson will not stand on his dignity when that dignity inter feres with any ambitious scheme he may cherish. Besides, he is compara tively young yet, and his mind and body are in a state of vigorous preser vation. And although his administra tion as President has been a failure, still it cannot be denied that he is a man of extraordinary power. I’he United States was too big for him, but he may be able to manipulate and con trol affairs in Tennessee. It is gen erally conceded outside of the State that the franchise law, now of force there, are unnecessarily harsh and sweeping in their character. That Government can scarcely' be called Re publican wherein eighty thousand tax payers are denied the privileges of the ballot. Whether that state of affairs shall continue or not will be the question in the Gubernatorial and legis lative canvass next year. It will pro bably take the form of Convention or no Convention. Johnson will advocate the calling of a Convention and will stand a good chance of carrying the day. If he does, and a Legislature is elected favor ing a Convention, he will probably be elect ed to till the shoes of Mr. Fowi.hr, whose Senatorial term expires on March 4th, 1871, or it may be to take his old seat as the successor of Senator Browneow, whom nobody supposes will near live out the term for which he has been elected. That Johnson will make a bitter fight for the Senate we have no manner of doubt, and when we remember his great power over the . people of Tennessee when he meets them face to face, and the absolute ne cessity for a relaxation of the high handed style in which the State has been governed since 1865, we must confess that his chances of success are not bad. Swallowed.—Our dispatches an nounced that the Louisville Courier has swallowed the once popular and powerful Louisville Journal, which for more than a quarter of a century has boasted the services of George T. Prentice, one of the most brilliant journalists this country ever produced. With Mr. Prentice’s age and im potency comes the death of his organ, or what is the same thing, its amalgama. tion with an old political competitor. Did not try to Restore Peace. —Andrew Johnson did not try to restore peace to the South. He sim ply joined one party in an effort to destroy the other which had elevated him to power. Instead us making peace, he aroused the bitterest pas sions of the human heart. General Grant will not be guilty of such crim inal folly. He will stick to the party that elected him, and xvill deal gener ously with the one he has defeated —if they will let him. ■' -■' —— ■ The Truth.—“ Willoughby,” the New York correspondent of the Con stitutionalist, denies that the late Republican success was due to the personal popularity of General Grant. He frankly confesses that the people of the North were unwilling, at this juncture, to change the management of public affairs. This shows that the Northern people are firmly deter mined Io carry on tin* Congressional plan of reconstruction. A Harsh Criticism. We submit to the Constitutionalist whether it has not judged harshly and condemned hastily, the Pittsburg speech of Mr. Colfax, Vice-President elect. We are aware that his refer ence to rebels and traitors grated un musically in Confederate ears, but when we strip the speech of that por tion of its features, what is there really in the speech that the Constitution alist is not willing to concede? He only demands protection for the white Unionist and lhe colored population of the South. Is not the Constitu tionalist willing to grant this ? If so, why abuse Mr. Colfax for what he may have said in a little serenading speech ? - . ♦ Bai> Spirit.—While the Chronicle <£• Sentinel warmly endorses the pro position that a fund be raised and judiciously invested lor the benefit of the widow and orphans of the late Albert G. Ruffin, the Constitution alist, very narrow-mindedly, Ings in the politics of the late Mr. Ruffin. What lias the widow and the orphans to do with Republicanism or Democ racy? Will not the pinchings of hun ger of her and her little ones be just as sharp as if he had been a Democrat? Will the chilling winds of winter be less cold to them because the late hus band and father was a Republican? It is not the dead that needs charity, but the living. Surely the Constitu tionalist on reflection will see that its article of yesterday was inconsiderate, and its objections captious, and will hereafter give its influence to this truly Christian enterprise. If not, we hope and believe that the people of Augusta will prove themselves more liberal than some of its editors, and that an adequate sum will be raised and advantageously invested. '' ■ «•» - —— Read It.—Let no one fail to read the article from the Cincinatti Gazette, which will be found in another col umn. It is clear, concise, and express es truthfully the meaning of our Presi dential victory. Let Republicans read it and take courage. Let Democrats read it and act like sensible men. ■ - <•* Give and Take.—Let us give a little and take a little; that will bring peace. —«•» . —— The Nigh Cut. - Let all Georgians now take the nigh cut to peace. To become friends at home is the nigh cut. Opinion of a Democrat. General Hillver, who was one of the most ardent supporters of Sey mour and Blair, made a speech be fore a Democratic Club in New York on the eve of the election, in which he said: The most painful duty of niy life is that 1 am compelled to oppose General Grant in Ulis canvass. He is my personal friend. I was intimate with him before the war. 1 shared the perils of the battle-field and the precious intercourse of camp life* with him during the war. I have retained his confi dence and affection since the war. I long Cherished the hope that, he would be the standard-bearer of the Democratic party in this contest. 1 repeat to you to-night what 1 have said in forty odd speeches made by me in this campaign, that General Grant is a gentleman of unsullied honor—a just man, a man of correct habits, a man of intellect, a humane man, a man of unselfish patriotism. The irresistible logic of success has proven his military genius to be above the reach of calumny or captious criticism. Whether you approve or disapprove of my opinions,' no partisan feeling, no desire for party success, will ever deter me from defending his per sonal and military reputation whenever, wherever, and by whosoever assailed. 1 think that man is neither a gentleman, a Christian, or true Democrat who xvill permit his political opinions to interfere with his private friendships. While I oppose, and shall continue to attack with all the powers God has given me, the political platform of the party General Grant represents, I shall never forget that in all profitable discussions of great principles it is essential to separate the advocate from his cause. - -st- |From theN.

The election of Grant and Colfax by overwhelming majorities means that law, order and peace shall prevail throughout the South, and that the work of reconstruction shall be carried forward to completion by the party that suppressed the rebellion and re pudiated the “policy” of Andrew John son. It xvill be interesting, therefore, to observe the course of the Southern people ; to notice the spirit in which they will accept the decision. Will they submit to that which is inevita ble, or will they attempt to continue the reign of terror which has covered the South with shame, crippled the energies of the people, and kept away enterprise and capital ? General Grant, since his nomination for the Presidency, has said but little in regard to his policy, but that little embodies a great deal—all, in fact, that immediately concerns the South. In the first place he xvill regard it as his duty, as President, to enforce the laws, lie will not set up a policy of his oxvn, as against that of Congress. He has also emphatically declared that it xvill be his duty to see that citizens are protected in their rights every xvhere, at home and abroad. Every citizen has a right to buy lands, engage in business ami seek to make a living, in any place, and in any lawful calling that he may choose; towrite, print or speak his sentiments; to connect him self with whatever political party he may prefer, and to deposit his ballot xvithout hindrance or intimidation.— These are the rights of every Ameri can citizen, and ti e government, to be respected or just, must see that these rights are everyxvhere respected. The Southern people have defied the laws which are intended to protect individ uals in their rights, and to this end es tablished a reign of terror, and have undertaken to say who shall live among them, xvho shall till the lands, who shall engage in business, who shall vote and who shall take part in the government. This has not been done according to law, of course, but it has been done in defiance of law. To be respectable at the South, to be permit ted to live there even, a man must have been a rebel. To vote without risking his life, he must vote the Dem ocratic ticket. The government that would tolerate such a state of things would not lie a government of the people, but a des potism. It would crush out liberty and destroy individual rights. It would, in fact, be no government at all. It would be organized anarchy, if anarchy can be said to have an organization. Under it there would be protection for neither fife nor prop erty, and consequently there could lie no prosperity. Capital will not seek investment where the arm of law is not strong to protect it. I nder Grant’s administralion, then, we may be sure that the reign of ter ror will be brought to an end, and that th<‘ arm of law will l>e made suf ficiently strong Io protect every man, whether white or black, in his rights, lloxy this is to be done must depend upon circumstances. It will depend upon the conduct of the Southern peo ple. If they quietly submit to the law, that will be the end of it. If they resist, force w ill be used wherever force will be necessary ; but the laws will be enforced, and every citizen will be protected in his rights at the South as he is at the North. This is called radicalism, but it is that kind of radicalism which is right eousness. It is the radicalism which governs the Northern States. This country is open to men who served in the rebel army. Thousands of these have settled in the Northern States since the close of the war. They are protected by the same laxvs that pro tect other citizens. They are as safe in their lives and property as anybody else. The most prominent rebel might travel through and settle in any part of the North, and he would not be ipolested. His right to pursue any lawful calling would be fully and uni versally recognized, and in person and property he would be safe. In demanding, therefore, that the South shall be free to citizens of Ohio or Indiana, or any other State, who may choose to travel or settle there, we only ask obedience to the laws which we render ourselves, aiid which is required of all our people. Let it be borne in mind that the South is part of the United States as the North is part of the United States. One flag waves over all, and through out the laws of the United States are supreme. These laws promise protec tion to citizens, and it is the duty of the government to see that this promise is not broken. The enfranchisement of the colored people was rendered necessary by the conduct of the Southern people. But for Johnson’s interference, by which the first Congressional plan of recon struction was rejected, the ballot would not have been given to the negro. This would have been unjust to the loyal blacks, but the wrong would have been committed, nevertheless, had not the Southern people rejected the mild terms proposed by Congress. Noxv, however, negro suffrage is not an open question. It is settled. This may be extended—it will be extended, but it can never be restricted. There can be no step backward. The South undertook to destroy the govern ment in order that they might buildup a Confederacy based on human slavery. The rebellion was a failure; slavery was destroyed and the late slaves are now free men, invested with all the rights of citizens. The Southern peo ple may not like this. It was not to be expected that they w ould take to it kindly; but they brought it upon themselves, first by rebelling against the government, and second, by bad conduct after the rebellion. It is noxv fixed. It can not be changed, and the sooner the situation is accepted the batter. Whether Congress will legislate any further on the subject of reconstruc tion, xvill depend upon the future con duct of the Southern people. If the latter persist in resisting; if their ugli ness is maintained, Congress will pass laws, and Grant will execute them, to meet whatever difficulties may arise. [From the New York Tribune. The Struggle in England. On the Uth of the present month the moribund British Parliament xvill be formally dissolved, and a few days after, the first general election under the new Reform bill will take place. As the period for the new election approaches, political excitement be comes every day more intense in all parts of the United Kingdom. The columns of the British journals, both metropolitan and provisional, are filled xvith reports d? speeches by candidates for the new Parliament, and a portion of the space appropriated in those journals to editorial dissertation is absorbed in the discussion of the great questions to be decided by the election. Evidently it is felt among intelligent and thoughtful men that a great crisis in the nation’s history is impending, and the two great parties are putting forth their best strength to insure victory. Our owm civil con flict in this country has engaged the thoughts and energies of the American people to such an extent that they have been unable to bestoxv upon the battle which is going on across the waters that degree of attention which its great importance demands. Still, they have not been indifferent specta tors of the fight; and now that free dom’s battle has been splendidly won on this continent, and that the smoke has lifted from this part of the field, we naturally turn our eyes toward the point where the opposing forces that have just measured their strength here are about to engage in another tremendous struggle. For, after all, although in circumstantials the respec tive contests in the two countries— that which we have just fought out, and that yet undecided in England— present some marked points of differ ence, yet the great principles involved are in both cases identically the same. In both the fight is for the civil and political equality against caste; for a common citizenship, insuring common rights as an inalienable inheritance and possession, against class, privi leges, and arbitrary exclusions; for the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, against the assumptions of an ignorant and selfish oligarchy. The issues upon which the Liberals make their appeal to the country in this election are three in number. One is financial, the Gladstone party con tending that the present Tory admin istration has been guilty of a lavish and reckless expenditure of public money, aiul that the traditional policy of the Tories is one of criminal extrav agance in the disbursing of the people’s means. This is an important consid eration, which cannot fail, we should think, to have due weight with the electors. Another issue relates to the necessity lor further Electoral Reform, the latest Reform act being clogged with conditions which practically | neutralize in a great measure the lib eral provisions of that measure. With its rate-paying clauses and its erection of “three-cornered” constituencies, Disraeli’s Reform Bill, say the Liberals is little better than “a delusion and a snare,” and they accordingly pledge themselves,- if restored to power, to give the people household suflrage in its integrity. This is a matter of vital moment to the complete success of the popular cause in England, and Glad stone and his Parliamentary followers arc certain of meeting with warm and general support among the masses on this point. But the most important issue of all as regards the effect which the settlement of the question is likely to have upon the national fortunes, both immediately and in the near future, is that which has been raised relating to the disestablishment and disendow ment of the Irish Church. This question has a twofold importance; first, as to its bearing upon the difficult task, in which generations of English statesmen have failed, of pacifying and conciliating Ireland; and, secondly, as to the probable effects of its agita tion upon the cognate question of religious equality between the law, and, consequently, iqam the fate of the Anglican establishment itself.— From the desperation with which the Dories arc conducting the canvass; from the efiorts which have been un scrupulously put forth by D’lsraeli and his State Church frauds, both of the clergy and the laity, to inflame the religious prejudices of the people, and rekindle the fierce fires of bigotry in both kingdoms; from the alarm which, according to their own confession, has been created in the ranks of these men as to the probable late of the English Establishment in the event of the Irish branch of that Church being severed from the State, it is evident that they feel that the time is not distant which shall witness the triumph of the principle of religious equality in England. The fight goes bravely on. Disraeli shows himself to be possessed of pluck; he is fertile in resources and expe dients, and his followers are not want ing in zeal and bravery. But Glad stone has thrown himself into the thick of the conflict., w ith enthusiastic ardor, and his supporters arc rallying nobly around the standard which he has raised ; while the grand figure of that world-renowed champion of Freedom, John Bright, stands out in bold relief among the Liberal leaders, and his voice is heard in clarion notes urging on the fight. To our own triumph here we hope to add, in a few days, the joy of hearing of the great victory for the right in the country of our fathers. —Many arc the good things reported to have been said of the late Lord Alvanley. Crockford, on retiring from the management of the club in St. James street, London, where gam bling was carried openly for many years, and large sums lost nightly, gave a farewell dinner to his patrons, at which he took the opportunity of expatiating on'the good use he had made of the wealth which he had ac cumulated at their expense. He told them he had considered it as a trust. “Often had he fed the hungry” (his suppers, free to all the habitues, were unexceptionable); “ many were the naked whom he had clothed;” then he paused for an instant, and Lord A han ley finished the sentence for him, “and the rich he sent empty away.” —The Bulletin claims that San Francisco has now a population of 153,000.
