[WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPT. 11,1867
ELECTIVE AFFINITIES.
Before the war for Southern independence,
jio country came in for moro wholesale de
nunciation of Fourth or July and other
uagle-blrd orators than Russia and, as a
consequence, no country was more commis
erated than Poland. During the war for
Southern independence, and since Appo
rm&ttox Court House became memorable
for Radical triumph, the language of song,
story or journalism has not sufficed for
Russian adulation.
This startling change in the sentiment of
a great people must be attributable to fel
low feeling and kindred aspirations. Na
poleon predicted that the world was des
tined to be Cossack or Republican. For a
-while, the scale seemed turning in favor of
-the latter ; but, since the almost utter over
throw of Republican liberty by the Radi
cals, there can be but little question as to
the chances of the farmer. T hejU nited States,
-which affected so fine a scorn of the Mus
covite, has outdone the Muscovite and, inas
much as a counterfeit is less respectable
than the original, this very imitation can
only pass muster by a more than Chinese
fidelity to the pattern. Hence the Radicals
'.have employed every artifice to surpass the
•despotism of the Ruiuk or the Romanoff.
'They have organized not one Poland but
many; they have created not ©ne Warsaw
"but a thousand. They have purchased a
bleak Siberia and have a willing instru
ment to make it populous. Admiral Far
fiAouT shows all his feathers at Cronstadt
and Cronstadt shows all its honors to
Admiral Farragut. A few years ago,
nothing could be more despicable than the
Cossack; at the present day, nothing is so
•worthy of adoration and praise.
A change so remarkable and profound
must needs have a curious explanation.
"Unless there existed some strong and salient
features of resemblance between the Radi
cal and Russian nature, some invincible
elective affinities, some common impulse
nnd ambition, the Republican bulwark of
;freedoin would never have been stormed
;ind captured by Cassack hordes. There
must have been traitors, like Lopez, on
every battlement and at every sally-port;
iot, more shameful still, a serious defection
jaraong the garrison itself.
In order to arrive at a satisfactory diag
nosis of this extraordinary national sickness,
the political Burgeon must be dissatisfied
,*with external symptoms and resolutely
sjeek to dlseover those Internal and occult.
The great difficulty, hitherto, has been a
meagre knowledge of the social evils and
factions of the Czar’s realm. We knew that
'Mr. Fox had been wined, dined and snuff
boxed. We knew that Mephlstopheles
JSeward had smeared all Ids honeyed state
liness over the destroyer of Polish liberty ;
-we knew that most cordial diplomatic re
lations existed; we knew what ukases
•were and know what they are ; we knew
-that the great heart of North America had
been knouted into submission to not one
autocrat but hundreds—it only remained to
acquire some hidden knowledge of the dis
quiet and disorganization that exist among
-the masses of the country which our
grandiose rulers have taken as a life-model.
This knowledge wo have been fortunate
•enough to obtain from a journal published
at St. Petersburg, called the JiVeM. Tiie
, Weut says :
i “An inquietude, ft sort of general fear, per
vades all classes of society—capitalists, nobles,
large landed proprietors and peasants alike.
"We believe firmly in the future of Russia, and
that the present is but a passing crisis ; but it
1« not necessary that Russians should be de
luded. Two parlies ulnud iu Russia in oppo
sition to each other—the one, the party of des
potism and violonco; and tho other, the party
of order, equality and regular process. At the
moment wo write those lines we cannot hide
lrom ourselves tho fact that tho party of de
struction and revolution is predominant, and
that it will be necessary to make great efforts
and exerciso a superhuman ouergy to overcome
it. That party aims to reverse the order of so
ciety ; it nolthor believes in conscience nor in
truth. It proclaims tho equality of mon under
all circumstances, and aims to bring all kinds
of men to tho samo level. Its plan of opera
tions is very simplo. It is to cast ridicule on
tho regular order of things, and to scorn exist
ing rights and established authority.”
Wo beg the reader not to sllir over this
extract, but peruse it with fixed atten
tion. He will not fall to observe that this
comment upon the condition of Russia
might hare been, with the change of a
single word—the interpolation of United
States for Russia—tho emanation of some
.journal on this side of the water.—
With these lights before us, it Is no wonder
that the party of despotism In this country
should propitiate the party of despotism in
a country so powerful and so remote. The
Inquietude that broods over the Muscovite
l>roods over the American, and the causes
are strikingly Identical. When the capital
ist, nobles, lauded proprietors and peasants
tremble in Russia, the bond-holder, the
aristocrat (codfish though he is), the
planter and laboring classes tremble in the
United States. Despotism and violence
have occasioned this trepidation in one
land ; violence and despotism iu the other.
In the same ratio that arbitrary power Is
suffered to make headway, order, equality
and regular process go to the wall. If the
party destruction is predominant iu
Russia, it Is likewise predominant in the
United States. If Russia has a faction that
“ aims to reverse the order of society
that “ neither believes In conscience nor in
truth that “ aims to bring all kind of
men to tho same levelthat “ casts ridicule
on the regular order of things and scorns
existing rights and established authority ”
—have we not the same tiling here ? We
have it here, and as the counterfeit is more
abhorrent than the original conspiracy, we
have it in an aggravated and monstrous
shape. If the Russian conservative dreads
the leveling process which seeks to elevate
the late serf to a position equal In every
respect to that of -born freemen; how worse
than Russian is the policy which attempts to
push the white freeman below the degrada
tion point of negro ignorance and inferi
ority.
This base conspiracy may succeed in
Russia, bnt it is beginning to suffer disaster
here. The white people of this county are
not yet prepared for national bastardy and
Russianizing. The old spirit of caste is be
ginning to assert itself with power and
majesty. Even the most sanguine Radical
revolutionist has ceased to sneer at the
ovidences of a Great Reaction. Forney
lias come back from Europe in hot haste;
Mr. Greeley and his tall are all agog with
excitement. The people at large are awak
ening from past delusions; they begin to
.suspect that the Iron Hand is not so Repub
lican after all; that the Emperor Alex
ander of Russia may be a very good despot
jbr the Cossacks but not the best exemplar i
for the heirs of Washington. '
THE AMNESTY.
While should have preferred uni
versal amnesty, as more in consonance with
the large and liberal ideas entertained of
true republican principles, it is but simple
justice to admit that, however tardy, the
President’s recent Amnesty deserves the
grateful remembrance of every Conserva
tive in the land.
As far as it goes, it is a great step in ad
vance and, if followed up by the proper
auxiliaries, destined to prove beneficial,
'flic President has, to a considerable extent,
done all that he could under existing exi
gencies; It remains for the Judiciary and
the people to accomplish tho rest and gain
some practical results. As a preliminary
to this Amnesty, the President issued a
proclamation to the military authorities re
quiring them to abstain from interference
with Courts of Law. He has solemnly
guaranteed the independence of the District
Courts and promised to use the power of
the Government to maintain their integrity.
The opportunity is now presented for those
disfranchised by act of Congress bnt en
fVauchised by Executive clemency to test
their cases before the Judiciary tribunals
and, if successful in the suits, prepare to
exercise the rig 1 its of citizenship.
Prior to the vote for or against a Consti
tution, if not prior to a vote for or against
the Convention itself, the President will,
probably, through his Attorney General,
order the registry lists to be reopened for a
proper adjustment. Before, however, this
order can be promulgated it is necessary
that the Courts should have the question
before them and pass judgment. We trust
that interested parties will not be sluggish
in making such tests and inviting a deci
sion.
If the decision prove favorable, it is an
open question how Congress will receive it,
and how defy it. That an attempt at defi
ance will be made, we doubt not. If made,
revolution must inevitably ensue or—
Executive submission. If revolution should
be inaugurated, we leave it, as we have
before remarked, to the responsible parties.
If submission of the Executive transpire,
we can only gird up our loins for the endur
ance of fresh impositions until Cajsar or
Common Sense shall rule the roast.
The practical good of the Amnesty, there
fore, depends upon several important con
tingencies. Whether these accessories will
work harmoniously or not, the future can
alone dfccide. In the meantime, all views
of that future and its hopes must be specu
lative and, while avoiding exultant an ticl
patious, we should cherish no gloomy im
aginings and, In any event, preserve a
becoming pride and spirit of self-respect.
[From tho New York World.
Reaction—A Great Democratic Viotory in
Oalifornia-
What Mr. Stevens calls “apathy,” aud
what common sense calls reaction and a
return to reason, is now the prominent
political feature at tiie North. The people
are tired of Radicalism. Its old cant
phrases about “justice,” the “Rock of
Ages,” the “ progress of liberty,” and the
like torch-light procession mottoes, have
become meaningless from tho fact that they
were cant and nothing else. It has become
a matter of dollars and cents ; lower taxes;
cheaper rents, and food and clothing ; in
short, it has at last “ come home,” aud the
people ref use to sustain Radicalism because
they cannot afford it. It costs too much.
This reaction began in the very stronghold
of Radicalism—New England. Here is the
popular vote in New Hampshire in the years
1866 aud 1867 :
• 1866 , 1867. ,
L>ein. Rad. Dem. Rad.
30,481 86,137 22,472 24,814
This gives, in 1866, a Radical majority
in that State of 4,656, while in 1867 tiie
Radical majority was but 2,472 —an enor
mous falling off in a single year, and on so
small a vote. In Connecticut tiie reaction
is fairly remarkable in political annals ;
Radicalism lost in the changed vote of a
single year the entire State ticket and three
out of four Congressmen. 'The vote for 1866
and 1867 stood as follows :
• 1860. , 1867 ,
Dem. Rad. Dem. Rad.
43,433 43,974 36,584 35,692
Thus, In Connecticut, Radicalism with a
majority of 541 in 1866, in 1867 was de
feated by a Democratic majority of 892.
The reaction in this State is still more
marked, when we remember that only two
years before the Radical ticket was suc
cessful by more than 11,000 majority.
We have, as yet, only imperfect returns
from elections this week in Vermont and
California. Both are Radical States. The
vote in Vermont in 1866 was:
Democratic, 11,292; Radical, 34,117.
Which gives a Radical majority of 22,825.
The claimed Radical majority now is “about
18,000,” or an admitted loss of “ about” 5,000
votes in one year.
From California, however, we have the
glorious news that the Democrats have
elected the Governor aud State candidates,
two out of the three Congressmen, and a
majority of members of tho Legislature—
securing, it will be seen, the election of a
Democrat to the United States Senate.—
Whatever “explanations” defeated Radi
calism may offer, the fact cannot be argued
away tliat this great Democratic victory is
due to the irresistible popular reaction.
These elections and this reaction will be
manifest in the returns in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, especially in Ohio, where negro suf
frage, which the State has heretofore reject
ed, is made a prominent issue this fall. In
this connection, it is well to call attention
to the table presented by tho Personal Re
presentation Society to the Albany Consti
tutional Convention, showing that in the
elections last year iu twenty-three States,
the total Radical vote was 2,061,871, against
a total of 1,644,308 Democratic votes. The
total Radical majority is therefore 417,563,
and a change of 208,787 votes, or only six
per cent., would turn the balance against
the Radicals In every State.

This shows that a change of less than six
per cent, in the aggregate vote would have
given the Democrats tho majority of the
votes iu the Union, whilst In several of the
States a change of less than one per cent,
would have altered the result. In view of
the changes now actually making and the
very general reaction, it would seem an ap
propriate time for the Tribune, Time* and
Herald to publish their standing editorials
on “ The Deatli of the Democratic Party.”
The Prince of Wales seems to be getting
ahead prettv fast on the decentus averni which
he so|openly affects. Tho last piece of unpleas
ant news about him comes from the Mabide, at
Paris, where his rowdyism drew forth a rebuke
from one of the festive damsels who disport
themselves in the can-can. The extreme Dem
ocrats of England could desire no more effect
ive ally in their efforts to dispel the popular
illusion of that divinity that doth hedge about
a King.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser
lias had interviews with Senators Sumner
and Wilson and General Butler. The
latter, though an unprincipled man ia a
smart politician, and, as his views of the
situation are by far the most pungent, we
give them precedence:
GENERAL BUTLER.
Boston, September 3,1867.
On Saturday I took a trip to Gloucester
to see General Butler in his “ Tent on the
Beach,” as the Boston Post used to call his
summer residence at Bay Vue.
The conversation, of course, soon turned
on political subjects, and I asked him his
views of the present situation.
ON JOHNSON.
“ Well,” he said, “ the situation would be
sufficiently alarming if it was certain that
Johnson was acting from purpose and plan,
and not from obstinacy and personal ill’
will. If lie could be calculated upon, as
another man might lie, one would say that
these acts in removing Stanton, Sheridan
and Sickles were part of a plan to take con
trol of the Government, upon the theory
that the legislation of Congress was un
constitutional, and, therefore, not binding
upon the Executive.
His course would seem to indicate that
putting General Grant into the War De
partment, and exhibiting him as obeying
and carrying out-Ms orders, was to famili
arize the army to obedience to Johnson’s
commands, and to show them that the high
est officer must be, in military affairs, sub.
servient to his will. But the imbecility and
wavering of the President heretofore re
lieves the country from any pressing belief
of danger.
Johnson lacks courage and capacity. If
lie should re-organize his Cabinet, and nut
at the head, of it a man like Black,
both courage and capacity, then, indeed, in
view of the belief that would be engender
ed by the probable turn of the elections in
some of the States in the fall, that a Con
servative re-action had begun—then one
could easily predict the probable turn of
events. But now we are in the condition
of the sportsman who refused to match his
blood lioreif for a race witli the farmer’s old
bull, because uo man could tell how fast a
lop horned bull would run.”
ON BLACK.
I asked tiie General if he knew Mr. Black
personally, and what he thought of him ?
“ Yes,” lie said, “ I know Black. I have
met him at the bar. I knew him somewhat
when he was in Buchanan’s Cabinet. He
is a man of decided genius—erratic, bold,
and of quick perceptions, and with strong
reliance upon his own powers.
“He believes thoroughly iu the uucon
stitutionality of war, and the conse
quent, illegality of every act, of legislation
growing out of it. Not doubting on these
points, he would have no hesitancy in fol
lowing his plans to their logical sequence,
which would be, of course, that Congress
was an illegal body, its acts without bind
ing force or effect, and that it was the duty
of the President to save the Government by
an exercise of Executive power, and that
such action would be conservative, and not
revolutionary; and if he was in the Gov
ernment I believe he would shape its course
to that end, under the full conviction that
lie was acting according to the Constitu
tion, and for the best interests of the coun
try. This, with him, would lie true con
servatism. He looks upon any other, and
of course the Congressional reconstruction,
as revolutionary, and tending to despotism.
“Upon his accession to the Cabinet, l
should look for great peril to the country,
because there is no man so dangerous as lie
will be—acting courageously in support of
thf! wrong, under the conviction that he is
in tiie right.”
I remarked here:
“ You seem to regard him as likely to lie
the American Stratford ?”
“ Yes,” said Butler, in his decisive way,
“ I do.’’
on grant’s TOSITION.
1 then asked what lie thought of General
Graut’s position in the Cabinet.
“ Grant,” lie said, “ has taken upon him
self a very difficult and dangerous role. If
he can carry liimsclf safely through it, 1
shall give him credit for more ability than 1
have ever been inclined to do.
“ He inis not tiie excuse that he acted un
der orders. As a military officer, he could
not be ordered to take a purely civil office,
as the office of'Secretary of War is. Such
an appointment would iie simply a request.
And nobody saw more clearly the difference
between a request and an order than Grant,
when he instructed Sheridan tliat Stauliery’s
opinion, then published by the Commaudcr-
In-Cliicf for tiie guidance of district com
manders, was not an order, and, therefore,
as military men, they were not bound by it,
but could follow tlieir own judgment. Yet
his friends claim for him that he lias twice,
in his own person, construed the President’s
request into an order—first, when invited to
‘ swing round the circle,’ and again, when
invited to the War Office, ad interim.
“If Grant accepted the War Office from
the motive to interpose his high position
and personal efforts to save tiie country
from the illegal and unpatriotic acts of tho
President, then every true man should honor
him for Ids patriotism, and sustain him to
the utmost extent, whatever may be their
personal relations to him, or their opinions
as to his fitness for a civil office,” and, added
the General, with emphasis, “no man will
go further than I will in that direction.”
I then asked what his opinion of General
Grant’s course, thus far, was.
“ Well, ids course lias left him open to
two different constructions. It is difficult
to sec how he thought he could do more for
the country by supplanting Mr. Stanton
than by co-operating with him, and with
such co-operation Johnson never could have
removed Stanton.
“ His letter to Mr. Stanton would seem to
indicate his confidence in the administration
of Stanton in tiie War Office. His change
of the persons and of the action of the office
would indicate the contrary.
“ His letter to Sheridan, and his order re
quiring that no rebel officer removed
should lie reinstated, indicate a purpose to
withstand the President. His withdrawal
of his protest against Sheridan’s removal
and permitting his banishment to the
Plains, after his ordering him to report to
Washington, aud the reason given for ob
jecting to Hancock’s taking command of
the Fifth District—that he would be (
exposed to yellow fever—seem to point to ,
the fact that he lacks persistency in effort, !
or is under the control of the President, ,
and acting with him. He could not be ig
norant that in opposing tiie removal of ,
Sheridan lie would bo sustained by the ,
country. His letter fully shows this. j
“ Now, you ask what my opinion is ?
The danger lest I should be influenced in (
judgment by dislike to the man, for which (
I have so much cause, precludes me from
forming one. I wait events. Time, and i
very short time, too, will determine tiie fact ]
beyond the reach of opinion.”
ON BTANTON.
I ucxt asked vvliat lie thought of Mr.
Stanton V
“ Stanton,” resinned the Geueral, “ has
the contidence of the country deservedly,
both from his private character and his
official action ; and I know no one patriotic
man who did not feel safer, both in the pre
sent and future, beause of Stanton’s posi
tion in the War Office. 1 cannot doubt for
a moment that Congress, by the action of
the Senate and by legislation, will at once
reinstate him. He is the Secretary of War
and will remain so in spite of Executive
usurpation.
ON SEWARD.
1 asked him his opinion on Mr. Seward
It seems to me,” he said, “that there can
lie but one explanation of Seward’s course
—the determination to ruin the Republican
party because of what seems KS
ingratitude in preferring Mr. Lincoln. Sew
ard holds that he was the father of our
party, and one could easily suppose the
deep grief and mortification which 'being
set aside might causo him. Any other
theory would only lead to the conclusion
that Seward’s Intellect was waning because
the author of the irrepressible ’ conflict
could never he so istupid. The inevitable
consequence of Johnson’s course I can’t
believe that Seward fails to see ■ and if so, 1
why does he fhil to oppose the course of
the Executive, or withdraw himself from
the Cabinet ? There is surely nothing in
our foreign relations that requires him to
act.”
ON IMPEACHMENT.
1 now asked General Butler’s opinion of
the prospect of impeachment.
He replied:
“Impeachment Is sure to comcv * The

and two Democrats—Mr. Eldridjre of Wis
consin, and Mr. Marshall, of Illinois—
tlie Democrats had less numbers in

gress, when it was thought that One man,
and a wean one, would amply representthe
minority on the committee. Nine, two of
their strongest men were given fhem -re

I he result was, that when the vote came
to be taken in committee, four out of the
seven Republicans upon it, who were also
on the committee of the Thirty-ninth Con
gress, voted for impeachment. Five voted
against it, three of whom were the new ap
pointees—Mr. Ohurchill, Mr. Eldddge, and
nix. Marshall. If the committee had been
allowed to be as before, with the addition
of one member only, there would h Ve been
a majority lor impeachment. As> it was,
there were four out of nine, notwithstand
ing the legal doubts of Mr. Wilson the
chairman, and the asserted eliiuge of
opinion of Mr. Wood bridge, of Vermont. It
is fair to Mr. Colfax to say, that he claims
those changes in the committee wei® acci
dental ; but it was a sad accident, tor the
country, as it lias involved an extra Session
ot Congress without results, and lAs left
Johnson to entrench himself with the army
against the will of the country. I claim
that the people always have been, and arc,
ready for impeachment, and will now de
mand it.
“ Now, however, the condition is chang
ed. If Congress, on meeting iu November,
should commence the impeachment nn<i
proceed with all reasonable rapidity, 3olm
son couhl not be removed till spring
unless they came up to what clearly is the
law and practice, that he should be deposed
upon articles being presented to the Senate.
Now, suppose that Johusou should not be
removed till the spring, that would be too
late for Mr. Wade to aid liimselt by execu
tive power in the convention, which will be
held in May or June. Hut as Mr. Wade is
known to be thoroughly loyal to the lie
publican party, and would heartily sustain
the nominee of that convention with all the
power of the Administration, whoever
should be nominated, each and all of the
gentlemen believing themselves to have
possibilities of being candidates will desire
that the Administration shall be iu Mr.
Wade’s hands rather than in Johnson’s;
and therefore—being convinced that im
peachment is just and ought to be done —
will become easily convinced of its jwlicy,
especially as they cannot fail to see that
the i>eoplo demand it, and that the situation
of the country requires it—for it is the only
solution of all our troubles, and the great
pacificator.
“ For myself,” added the Geueral, “I have
never doubted that it would come to this.
I have got accustomed to have my opiiiou
upon public affairs made good twelve
months after date.”
ON SENATOR WADK.
1 asked his opinion of Serf a tor WaaC^^’"
lie said: “Among the many able jneib
who may have hopes of the Presidency, Mr.
Wade stands iu the ix>sition of being a true
representative of Radical Republicanism—
honest, single hearted, courageous, firm—
‘ from the people and of the people,’ he lias
never failed to rely uj>on them, and never
has been found wrong.”
“ Don’t you think the Times' report of his
Kansas speech will hurt him ?”
“ No; it will not Aveigli a feather to those
who know him ; lor, to them, if Ren Wade
says lie didn’t say a tliiug, hundreds will
not convinco them to the contrary.”
ON GENERALS SHERIDAN, SICKLES AND
Os General Shericlan he said that “ If we
are to have a purely military man for Pres
ident, Sheridan, perhaps, is the best of any.
He has shown, in addition to his brilliant
qualities ns a soldier, that his political in
stincts (because he lias had no training) are
true and right. Sickles has more political
experience, and has shown a comprehension
of affairs which was to have been expected
from one taught in the Democratic faith,
and has suffered wounds and mutilation to
serve the country in the war in opposition
to his political ideas.
“ Canby, who is sent to take his place, is
a gentleman and a true soldier, who will
carry out the orders of his superior officers;
whatever may be his own opinion of the
question at issue. But he is so truly loyal
to the country that the President could ex
pect no aid from him in any revolutionary
movement he may make at Washington.—
lienee, probably, his removal to Charleston.
But, as I said before, we may have no fear
of the President in that direction. The
West is true, and outvies the East in Rad
ical Republicanism; and on any attempt to
overturn the Government, they would be
reckoned by hundreds of thousands to sus
tain it.”
What Was Before the People of California.
The newly elected Governor of California
voted, in 1860, for Mr. Lincoln for Presi
dent. In 1862 he left the Republican party
and attached himself to t,ty> Democratic,
with which he has since acted, doing good
service in the campaign of 1862.
The platform upon which he was nomi
nated, and upon which he made the can
vass, and was elected, contained the follow
ing for its main planks:
Ist. Opposition to the Congressional plan
of reconstruction, that regards the States
of the South as Territories.
2d. In favor of the re union of all the
States on the basis of the Federal Constitu
tion, with slavery abolished.
<kl. Opposition to negro, Chinese and In
dian suffrage.
4th. Affirming the right to regulate suf
frage to belong to the States exclusively.
stli. All taxation should be equal and
uniform.
6th. Opposition to an increase of Htate
Indebtedness, and in favor of retrenchment,
and economy in the administration of the
Government.
7th. Opposition to Immigration of any
people, other than the while race.
Bth. The encouragement of labor,'and in
favor of the eight-hour law.
As to the Republican platform, the Phil
adelphia Press (liad.) says “ it takes ad
vanced ground on the negro suffrage ques
tion, and unequivocally endorses the policy
of Congress.”
There were two State tickets run by the
Republicans, each having different candi
dates for Governor, Secretary of State, Con- (
troller and State Printer. On nothing else
was the party divided. It was united and ,
agreed on members of Congress, members
of the Legislature and county officers.
On the two great vital issues—the recon- ,
struetion policy of Cougress and negro
suffrage—the people of California have, un- ,
equivocally, pronounced their condemna
tion of boih. That is a great blow to the
revolution that Radicalism is striving to
inaugurate. It is a great step toward the
pacification of the country. I
