i^BOiie."J Point to the man who can say that Andrew Johnson ever acted with infidelity to the great mass of the people -v-[Great applause.] Men may talk about beheading and about usurpation but x-when I am beheaded I want the American people to be the witness. I do not want •""it by inuendoes and indecent remarks in i. Jiigh places, to be suggested to men who

Lave oasassination brooding in their bosoms. Others have exclaimed that the Presidential obstacle must be gotten out of. the way. Wlmt is that but—-I make use of a strong word—but inciting to assassination? No doubt, I say, the intention was to incite to assassination, so that the obstacle which the people had placed ^iiere could begot out of the way.

Are the opponents of this Government not yet satisfied? Are those who want to destroy our institutions and to change the character of the Governmcnt'not satisfied with the quantity of blood that has beeD shed? Are they not satisfied with one martyr in this place? Does not the blood of Lincoln appease their vengeance and their wrath? Is their thirst still unslaked? Do they still want more blood? Have they not honor and courage entihgh to seek to obtain the end otherwise than through and by the band of an assassiu? I am not afraid of au assassiu attacking me whore one brave and courageous man will attack another. I only dread him when in disguise, and where his footstep is noiseless.

If they want blood, let them have tbe courage to strike like men. I know they ^are willing to wound, but afraid to strike, plf my blood is to b3 shed because I vindicate the Union and insist on the preservation of this Government in its original purity, let it be shed, but let an altar to the Union be first erected, and then, if necessary, take liie and Jay ine upon it, and the blood that now warms and animates my existence shall be poured out as the last libation, as a tribute to the

Union of these States. [^Great applause.J But let the opponents of this Government remember that when it ia pour.ed out the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. This Uniou will grow, and it will continue to increase in strength and power, though it may be cemented and cleansed in blood.

I have already spoken to you longer than I intended when I came out. £Go 'von.] I merely intended to make my acknowledgments for the honor you have ." done me but before I close, allow me to

Bay a word in regard to the question of :'amendments to the Constitution of the

United States. Shortly after I reached Washington for the purpose of being inaugurated as Vice President of the United States, I had a conversation with Mr. Lincoln in regard to the condition of affairs. We talked particularity in reference to matters in my own State. I told him that we had called a convention, that we had amended the 'Conpti'tution, that we had abolished slaveryyin that State, which was not included in his emancipation proclamation. 'A.11 these things met his approbation, and he gave me words of encouragement. We talked then about affairs generally, and upon the subject of amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Ho said "Wen the amendment of the Constitution now proposed is adopted by three-fourths of the States, I am prettv near done, or indeed quite done in favor of amending the Constitution, if there was one other adopted." I asked him, "What is that, Mr. President?" He said', '•J have labored to preserve this Union! I have tried, during the four years I have been subjected to great calumny and misrepresentation and my desire has been to preserve these States infact under the Constitution as they were before." I asked him again, "Mr. President, what amendment is that which you would propose?" "Why," said he "it is that there should be an amendment added to the Constitution wh^ch would compel the States to send their Senators and Representatives to the Congress of the United States." [Great applause.]

The idea was in his mind that, as a part of the doctrine of the means to break.up this Government was that the States if they saw proper might withdraw their Senators and Representatives, or refuse to elect them, he wanted even to remove.that difficulty by a constitutional amendment compelling the States to send feenaWrs and Representatives to Congress.

But what do we now find? The Constitution of the country, even that portion' of it which allows amendments to the organic laws, expressly providfes that no State without its consent shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate, and it also provides that each State shall

in the

We impose taxes upon them, we send our tax-gatherers into every region and portion of the States. Their people are fit subjects of government for the collection of taxesbut when they, ask to participate in the legislation of the country, they are met at the door and told. "No, you must pay taxes, you must bear the burdens of Government, but you cannot participate in its legislation, that legislation which is to affect you through all time to come Is this justice? Is it fair? p'No, no."] I repeat, I am for preserving all the States 1 am for admitting' into the councils of

about which I care nothing but let a man be unmistakably and unquestionably, loyal, let him acknowledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and be willing to support the Government in its hour of peril and its hour of need and am willing to triiSt him. [Applause.]-

I know that some do notattacli as much importance to the point as'I do, but I regard it as fundamental. One principle that carried us through the revolution was that ther" should be no taxation without representation. I hold to that principle, which was laid down as fundamental by our fathers if it was good theu it is good near if it was worth standing by then, it is worth standing by now. It is fundamental, and should be observed as long as free government lasts. I am awarcr that in the midst of rebellion it was said by some that the Constitution had been rolled up as a piccc of parchment and laid away that in time of war and rebellion there was no Constitution. We know that sometimes, iu great necessities, under great emergencies, unconstitutional things must sometimes necessarily be done in order to preserve the Constitution itself but if, while the rebellion wis going on the Constitution was rolled up and laid away if it was violated iu some particulars, in order to save the Government, and all may be excused and justified, because in saving the Government you really saved the Constitution now that peace has come, now that the war is over, we want again the benefit of a written Constitution, and I say the time has come to take the Constitution down, to unroll, to re-rcad, to understand its provisions thoroughly and now, in order to save the Government, we must preserve the Constitution. Our only safety is iu a strict adherence and preservation of the Constitution of our fathers. It is now unfolded it must now be read. It must be digested and understood by the American people.

I am here to-day, theu, in making these remarks, to vindicate the Constitution, aiul to save it, as I believe. It does seem as it encroachment encroachment is proposed upon it. As far as I could, have ever resisted encroachments upon the Constitution, and I stand prepared to resist them to-day, and thereby to preserve the Constitution and government of the United States. [Great applause.] It is now a time of peace, and let us have peace let us enforce the Constitution let us live under and according to its provisions, let it be published and printed in blazing characters as though it were in the heavens and punctuated"by the stars, so that all can read and all can understand. Let us consult that instrument, and be guided by its provisions let us understand them, and understanding them abide by them. I tell the opposers of this Government, I care not from what quarter they come, East or West, North or South you thgt are engaged in the work of breaking up the Government are mibfciken.

The Constitution of the United States and the principles of free Government are deeply rooted in the American heart, and all the powers combined cannot destroy the gccat instrument, that great chart of freedom. Their attempts, though they seem to succeed for a time, will be futile. I hey might as well undertake to lock up the winds or chain the waves of the ocean and confine them within limits. They might as well undertake to repeal the Constitution, and indeed it seems now to bo supposed that it can be repealed by a concurrent resolution. [Laughter.] But when the question is submitted, to the popular judgment, and to the mass of people, these men will find that they might as well introduce a resolution to repeal the law of gravitation. The attempt to keep this Union from being restored^ is just about as feasible as would be resistance to the great law of gravitation w.hich binds all to a common centre. The great law of political gravitation will bring back these States and restore them to all their relations to the Federal Government. "Cliques, and cabals, and conspiracies, and machinations North and South cannot prevent this great nnnsummation. [Tremendous applause.]

All that is wanted is time. .Let the American people get to understand what is going on, and they will soon manifest their^de termination. ITere, by way of explanation, let me say that I would to God the whole American people could be assembled here to day as you are. I wish there was a vast amphitheatre here spacious enough to contain the whole thirty millions, and they could witness the great struggle that is going on to preserve the Constitution of their fathers. They would soon settle the question if they co.u once see how things are, if thfev could see the kind of spirit that is mani-.

principles of free government—when they come to understand who vrtjs ftr them and who was for ameliorating their condition, and who for elevating them by preserving their Government. If the combatants could stand before them, and there could be a regular Beto between the respective gladiators, in the first tilt that might be made you would find that the enemies of the country would be crushed and the people would sustain its friends, and the friends of constitutional liberty.

My fellow-citizens, I have detained you much longer than I intended, ["Go on go on."] But we are in a great struggle and. I am your instrument, and I fave thought it best to express myself frankly. When, I ask you, have I usurped authority who is it in this country that I have not toiled and labored for Where is the

friendly and familiar conversation^'That man Johnson is a lucky man. [Laugh? ter.] They never can .defeat him." [Laughter.] Now I will tell yo% wK»t constitutes my luck. It is in doing^rigbt and doing for the people. [Great applause.] iv -K:

The people, somehow or other,"although their sagacity and good judgment are very frequently underrated^ under estimatedj generally get to find out and understand who is for them and who is against them: They do it by iustinct, if in no other way. They know their friend they know in whom they can confide. So far, thank God, I can lay my hand upon my bosom and state with heartfelt satisfaction, that iu all positions in which I have been placcd—in many that were as trying as any in which mortal man lias ever been placed, I have never deserted them, nor do I believe they will desert me. ["No no." Applaustj.] Whom have I betrayed? What principle*|have I violated? What sentiment have I swerved from? Can those who assail me put their fingers upon any one? ["No, no."] In all the speeches that have been made, no one has dared to put his finger upon a single principle I ever asserted from which I have deviated. .Have you not not heard Eome of them, at some time, attempt to quote my predecessor, who fell a martyr to his country's cause? But tney can give no sentiment of his that is iu opposition or in contradiction to anything that I have done. The very policy that I am now pursuing was pursued by me uuder his Administration, I having been appointed by him in.a particular position for that very purpose. Inscrutiable Providence saw proper to remove him from this to, trust, a better world, and I came into his place and tliore is not a principle of his in reference to the restoration of the Union from which I have departed. ["None, none."] Theu the war is not simply upon me, but it is upon my predecessor also. I have tried to do my duty. I know that some are envious and jealous, and speak of the White House as having attraction for the

of the bite House have as nuiv ence upon me as upon any individual in this country, and much less upon me than those who are talking about it. The little that I eat and wear does not amount to much, and the difference between what is enough to sustain me and my little family—it is very small, for I am not kin to many folks by consanguinity, though by affinity I am kin to everybody—the difference between the little that suffices for my stomach and back, and more than enough, has no charms for me. The proud and conscious satisfaction of having performed my duty to my country, to my children, and to the inner man, is all the reward I ask. [Great applause

In conclusion, let me ask this vast concourse here to-day, this sea of upturned faces, to come with me or I will go with you, and stand around the Constitution of our country. It is again unfolded the people tire invited, to read and understand to sustain and maintain its provisions. Let us stand by the Constitution of our fathers, though the heavens themselves should fall. Though faction may rage, though taunts and jeers may come, though abuse and vituperation may be poured out in the most violent form, I mean to be found standing by the Constition of my country. Stand by the Constitution as the chief ark of our safety, as the palladium of our civil and our religious liberty. Yes, let us cling to it as the mariner clings to the last plank when the night and the tempest close around him. Accept my thanks, my countrymen, for the indulgence you have extended to me while submitting to you extemporaneously, and perhaps incoherently, the remarks which I have now made. Let us go away, forgetting the past, and' looking to the future, resolved to endeavor to restore our Government to its pristine pUrity, trusting in Him who is on high, but who controls all here below, that ere long our Union will be restored, and that we shall have peace, not only with all the nations of the earth, but peace and good will among all parts of the people of the United States. I thank you for the respect you have manifested to me on this occasion, and if the time shall come, during the period of my ex isteuce, when the country is to be des troyed and its Government overturned if you will look out you will find the humble individual who stands before you endeavoring to-»vort its final destruction.

The President retired amid a perfect storm of applause.

A pretty question to ask at this late hour! How is it that you did not think of this when Vallandigliam was arrested, illegally tried, and banished for "talking treason,'' as you are pleased to call it? Freedom of speech, indeed llow many papers have been suppressed by your immaculate party in the last four or five years? And when before did you ever cry out, "does the President intend to suppress freedomfof spoech Wlsat is the matter? What has wrought this sudden conversion?

The fanatic majority in Congress sncccel".i, a lew days'ago, in expelling Hon. D. W. Voorhecs from his seat in that' body, and putting in his place one Washburn, who was beaten by Yoorhees some 700 or 800 votes at the last Congressional election. A few of the opponents, politically, of Mr. Yoorheos voted against the infamous outrage for which they should have full credit. Among them was George W. Julian from Indiana. In speaking of this outrage, the Lafayette Courier remarks that the result will probably be to place Mr. Voorhecs in the Senate of the United States, by-the next Legislature. We sincerely trust that such may be the result. It would be a fitting rebuke to the fanatics, who thrust him from his scat in. the House. Voorhees and Hendricks in the Senate! That would bo something worth fighting for. it

The Journal Penitent.

Tho JOURNAL, .in this wook's issue, takes the ground that President Johnson did right in vetoing the infamous Frecdmon's Bureau Bill. It soys "President Johnson has vetoed tho Freed men's Bureau Bill, and time, in nil probability, will demonstrate that ho did right. So far as we are concorned, we cap sec no PRESENT necessity for any new act on tho subject of freedmen." bo far so flood. An honest confession is said-to be good for the soul. Now that our neighbor has spoken out in meeting nr.d made a public acknowledg mcnt to his readers, that President Johnson did right in vetoing the Frecdmen's Bureau Bill, wo expect it to bo equally frank and give in its adhesion, in its next issue, to'the policy marked out in tho Presidents Bpo.-icli on the 22d of February, in which he urges the immcdiato admission ,f ilio southern reprosenta tives to Congress, simply on taking an oath to sup port the constitution, and agree with the President that Thad. Stevens, Charles Sumner, Wendol Phil lips and thoir followeu& aro traitors seeking to sub vert and destroy the government.

The President.

It does seem to us that the Republicans ought" to bo willing/hereafter, to let the Demo crats elect tho President. They never did elect one without making trouble in the country, and always quarreled with fftthr they had elected him. Republican Presidents always have to rely on,the bayonet or the Democracy for support after they are elected.

THERE was an immense Johnson ratification meeting at the Cooper Institute, New York, on tho 22^, at which Seward spoke, sustaining the President—knows which sido his bread is buttered on.

Those Unionists who yesterday' uiOr'ning, were the warmest friends of the President, are* denOnncingtlie meetifrg"n']id his speecli in unmda'surcd' tbrms, The m.annejr of the President, to say the least,Twas most undignified," and the speefch contained the bitterest personal abuse. Many are attempting to excuse ij,, but it was cool and deliberate from beginning to end. 5Co report can convey a correct idea of the speech, interrupted as it was by questions worthy of a Richmond mob and fitting answers from the President, such as the following. After,speaking, of. his opposition to the rebels of the South, and dcclariug that there wore traitors in Congress and nt the North as.guilty as Jeff. Davis, tho crowd crietl out, '-Name them," "Name them.'' 4

Mr. Johnson replied "I will name them they are Thaddcus Stevens in the House,Charles Sumner in the Senate, and Wendell Phillips before the people.'' ,-v

In reply to the question, ''How about "Forney?" ho said, "I havo no ammunition to waste on dead ducks."

THE nomination of Mr. Peter Foy as Postmaster of St. Louis, was rejected by the Senate this afternoon, by more than a two-thirds vote. This is the first answer of that body to tho intimation that Presidential patronage is to be used to secure Presidential support—a. very significant vote.

IT is reported that President Johnson has directed the heads of the several departments to withdraw the advertising patronage of tho Government from Forney's Chronicle, which has taken a decided stand against the policy ot the Administration.

Johnson Drunk.

Hie Republicans say Jon.vso.v was drunk wnyii nu made his late speech showing mat the Republicans were disunionists, and had been traitors, laboring for the last thirty years, under GARRISON and others who held, tho Constitution was a league with Hell, to break up the Government. Very well, it is nn old adage that in wine there is truth.* But, further SKWARD telegraphs that lie indorses the President's speech. Was he drunk also! If-so the Republicans seem to have afflicted us with ratlier a drunken Administration-. And further no man knows better than SEWXRD whetherrtho,^charge of the President is true or not,'because ho was ono of those very Republican conspirators who put forth the higher law against ..-the Constitution, and voted "for a dissolution of the Union.—Indiunapolis Herald.

thaddeus Stevens—Ills Antecedents. The notorious Thaddeus Stevens commenced his political life iu tho Legislature of Pennsylvania, as anti-Mason demagogue. His hobby then was anti-Masonry as it now is tho negro. His first public act was the establishment of an inquisition to spy out the secrets of Masonry. It is thus alluded to by the Pittsburg Post, which says1: "The object ot* this inquisition was to extort from meVi connected with the institution of Masonry an exposition of their principles, including the secrets of the order, which, it is alleged, they had sworn to preserve inviolate. To this end many of the most prominent statesmen of the Commonwealth were dragged beforo this Star Chamber, and held in durance vile for weeks, and compelled to submit to every indignity that malice could invent. Had they been the''vorfest criminals, they could not have been subjected to greater ignominy. '•Among those who worofthus outraged may be mentioned the lamcn^d Governors Wolf and &hunk, and the Hon. Georgo M. Dallas nor- did even the sacred desk escape the persecution of this fanatical anti-Mason. Tho Re\crend Mr.-Sprolis, an eminent divine of the Presbyterian Church, was dragged by an officer of the House before the •jsodern juggernaut,' as'he appropriately styled the Committee, and put under thfe tarture, with a view of compellin'g.'him to divulge, under oath, what he knew about tlii's-ancient and respectable institution. Rut ho, following the example of the distinguished! statesmen we have named, spurned the miserable tyrant who would thus have him violalo his honor. These men were only releasedTrom duress by the united votes of tho Democratic members, with a few of tho opposition. "W next find this man, Thaddcus Stevens, in 1838, at the head of a wicked conspiracy to overthrow civil government in our peaceful old Commonwealth, by ignoring the clearly expressed will of the people at the ballot box, and but for the indomitable courage of the Democratic- members of the Legislature, the hellish plot would have succeeded, and the election treated as though it had never been held.",-'

The President's Speech Indorsed by Seward and Weed. The following are the telegrams sent by those gentlemon to President Johnson on the 23d, indorsing his speech: "Dear President: 'It is all right and all safe. Tho Union is restored, and the countrj' safe. Your speech is triumphant, and the country will be happy, I come back on Monday. "W*^ H. SEWARD."

Another dispatch from Mr. Seward, an officer of the Government, says, under date of Feb. 23: "All right. The work is done. The country is safe. The Administration is established. -Its enemies aro nowhere. Look for. me on Monday, unless you hear that I come sooner. "WILLIAM II. SEWARD."

The following was-Thurlow Weed's indorsement of tho Presidents speech, and \y_as also sent on the 23d "I thank you from" my whole grateful heart for your speech of yesterday. The Union is now a fixed fact. TIIURLOW WEED."

THE Democracy and Conservatives of Sacramento, Cal., have held a great mooting and indorsed tho President^" veto. and his policy generally.

MORE OF THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS. The President, last-night, in in reference to the direct questions of several Congressmen, "declared that he was opposed to all constitutional amendments until:- the"SmithWn:uiembers oro jn theirr seats, so the South could' have a voiod in'tho nlattcr. He said-the question of representation was a small matter, and that tho North- could well afford to overlook the two-fifths advantage which tho South now havo, because emigration and kindred causes would soon remedy it without legislation.. If tue Constitution must beclianged at all) B'e'was in favor of making a' voting population the basis. He then asked how tliey proposed to' get such an amendment through in the South, and the reply was, "in the same way, Mr.

President, that you got the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery through, by a •little Presidential pressure." Mr. Johnston replied that he saw no similarity in the two cases.' Tii regard to the'lest 'oath, lie said ho was inclined to tliiiik that tho old form of swearing to support the Constitution was a sufficient test oath of loyalty.
