CONSTITUTIONALIST. ait&usta, »a. [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.

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 same causes which hindered IfcfMMbifore will now tend to bring it on. \vhlTWade was made President of the Swim* ccerv Presidential aspirant gnfw tShftrith'them aUd An f course cartied <heir taijs with them.

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 [Cincinnati Enquirer.
