Executive Defiance of Law The Soldiers' Bounty Withheld. Since Andrew Johnson threw himself into the embraces of the

Copperheads, he seems to have Jinl bibed their old hostility against the soldiers who Whipped the rebels. He turns them out of office if they refuse to follow him into the Copperhead party; he refuses to appoint, them to either civil or military offices, unless they jom him in denouncing the loyal Congress which vtcd the means necessary to sustain the army and navy while engaged in fighting down the rebellion ; and now he refuses to execute a law giving them a small bounty for their patriotic services. We iuvite the attention of our soldier friends to the following correspondence, from which it appears that the Administration has determined that the bounty shall not be paid : ' Gilead, Wood Co., O., Sept. 7th, 1866. " To the Soulier" Union Club, Lttcas Co., O. " At the solicitation of many Union soldiers and their friends, on the 5th inst., I wrote Colonel James C. Wetmore, Ohio State Military Agent, Washington, D. ('.. as to to the additional bounty passed by the late Congress, and herewith is his answer. " Very respectfully, " Your obedient servant, "Geo. Laskey, " Member Military Committee." "Executive Department, State of Ohio, Military Agency, Washington, D. C, Sept. 12, 'fits. ' Gaorge Laskeu. Esq., of MUitrt Committee, Qilecui, Wood Co., O.: - Dear Sir! Yours of the 5th inst., is received. You ask, are the Paymaster General and Second Auditor, stopped from paying under the bounty acts passed by the late Congress. . " The former states that he is waiting Instruction from, those higher In authority. The latter has been Instructed by the Secretary of the Treasury not to pay any bounty passed by the last Congress. " It Is my opinion that the Presidentdoes not intend a dollar of additional bounty Shall be paid a Union soldier or his family, if he can help It. Yours truly, Signed, " James C. Wetmore, "Ohio State Military Agent." , m Address of the National Union Committee to the American People. Fellow-Citizens : Very grave differences having arisen between your immediate representatives in Congress and the President who owes his Ciosition to your votes, we are impeled to ask your attention thereto, and to suggest the duties to your country which they render imperative. We shall avoid the use of hard Kftjtf n Ifan e ' Ana"fha file matters in issue may be brought within the narrowest compass, let us first eliminate from the controversv all that has already been settled or has never been in dispute. The Republic has been desperately assailed from within, and its very existence seriously imperilled. Thirteen States were cla med as having withdrawn from the Union, and were represented for years in a hostile Congress meeting at Richmond. Ten of these States were, for a time, wholly in the power of a hostile Confederacy; the other three partially so. The undoubtedly loyal States were repeatedly and formidably invaded by rebel armies, which were only expelled after obstinate and bloody battles. Through four years of arduous, desperate cml strife, the hosts of the rebel Cpn? federacy withstood those ' of the' Union. Agents of that Confederacy traversed the civilized world seeking , allies in their war ' against' the republic, and inciting the rapacious and unprincipled to fit out armed corsairs to prey upon her commerce. By State authority, and in the perverted names of patriotism and loyalty, hundreds of thousands of our countrymen were conscripted into rebel armies and made to fight desperately for our national disruption and ruin. And though, by the blessing of Ood and the valor and constancy pt our loyal people, the rebellion was finally and utterly crushed, it did not succumb until it had caused the destruction of more than hall a million of prescious human lives, not to speak of property to the value of at least five billions of dollars. At length the rebel armies surrendered, and the rebel power utterly collapsed and vanished. What then? The claim of the insurgents that they either now reacquired or had never forfeited their Constitutional rights in the Union, including that of representation in Congress, stands in pointed antagonism alike to the requirements of Congress and to those of the acting President. It was the Executive alone who, after the rebellion was no more, appointed Provisional Governors for the now submissive, unarmed Southern States, on the assumption that the rebellion had been "revolutionary,"' and had deprived the people under its sway of all civil government, and who required the assembling of "a convention, composed of delegates to be chosen by that portion of the people of said State who are loyal to the United States, and no others, for the purpose ot altering and amending the Constitution of said State." It was President Johnson who. so late as October lastwhen all shadow ot overt resistance to the Union had, long since disappeared insisted that it was not enough that a State which had revolted must recognize her ordinance of secession as null and void from the beginning, and ratify the constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery evermore, but she

must also repudiate " every dollar of indebtednses created to aid in carrying on the rebellion." It was he who ordered the dispersion by military force of any Legislature chosen under

the wbelHon, which should assume power to make laws after that rebellion had tallen. It was be who reierrea to Congress all iuquiriers as to the probability of Representatives from the States lately in revolt being admitted to m ;i 1 1 i n either house, and suggested that they should present their credentials, not at the organization of Congress, but afterward. And finally, it was he, not Congress, who suggested to his Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, that If you could extend the elective franchise to all persons of color who can read the Constitution of the United States in English, anil write their names, and to all persons of color who own real estate valued at not less than 250, and pay taxes thereon, you would completely disarm the adversary, and set au example that other States will follow. If, then, there be any controversy as to the right of the loyal States to exact conditions and require guarantees of those which plunged madly into secession and rebellion, the supporters respectively of Andrew Johnson and of Congress Cannot be antagonistic parties to that contest, since their record places them on the same side. It being thus agreed that conditions of restoration and guarantees against future rebellion may be exacted of the States lately in revolt, the right of Congress to a voice in prescribing those conditions and in shaping those guarantees is plainly incontestible.. Whether it take the shape of law or of a constitutional amendment, the action of Congress is vital. Even if they were to be settled by treaty, the ratification of the Senate by a two-thirds vote would be indispensable. There is nothing in the Federal Constitution, nor in the nature of the case that countenances an Executive monopoly of this power. What, then, is the ground of complaint against Congress ? Is it charged that the action of the two houses was taVdy and hesitating ? Consider how momentous were the questions involved, the issues depending. Consider how novel and extraordinary was the situation. Consider how utterly silent and blank is the Federal Constitution touching the treatment of insurgent States, whether during their flagrant hostility to the Union or alter their discomfiture; Consider with how many embarrassments and difficulties the problem is beset, and you will not wonder that months were required to devise, perfect, and pass, by a two-thirds vote in either house, a just and safe plan of reconstruction. Yet that plan has been matured. UEirfiNte tntt is now fairly beiore the country, having already been ratified by the Legislatures of several; States, and rejected by none.- Under it the State of Tennessee has been formally restored to all the privileges she forfeited by rebellion, including representation in either House of Congress; and the door thus passed through, stands invitingly open to all who still linger without. Are the conditions thus prescribed intolerable, or even humiliating? They are in substance these: I. All persons born or naturalized in this country are henceforth citizens of the United States, and shall enjoy all the rights of citizens ever- ! more; and no State shall have power to contravene this most righteous and necessary provision. II. While the States claim and exercise the power of denying the elec tive iraucnize to a part or their people, the weight of each State in the Union shall be measured by, and based upon its enfranchized population. If any State shall cboose for no crime, to deny political rights to any race or easte, it must no longer count that race or caste as a basis of political power in the Union. III. He who has once held office on the strength of his solemn oath to support the Federal Constitution and has nevertheless forsworn himself and treasonably plotted to subvert that Constitution, shall henceforth hold no political office till Congress, by a two-thirds vote, shall remove or modify the disability. IV. The national debt shall be no wise repudiated nor invalidated: and no debt incurred in support of the rebellion shall ever be assumed or Eaid by any State; nor shall payment e made for the loss or emancipation of any slave. V. Congress shall have power to enforce these guarantees by appropriate legislation. Such, fellow-citizens, are the conditions of reconstruction proposed by Congress and already accepted by the loyal Legislature of Tennessee. Are tht;y .hrsh or degrading? Do you discern therein a disposition to trample on the prostrate or push an advantage to the uttermost? Do they embody aught of vengeance or any confiscation but that of slavery? We solicit your candid, impartial judgment. hat is intended by the third section is .-imply to give loyalty a fair start in the reconstructed States. Lnder the Johnson policy, the rebels monopolize power and place even in communities where they are decidedly outnumbered. Their generals are governors and members elect of Congress; their colonels and majors fill the Legislatures aud officiate as sheriffs. Not only are the steadfastly loyal proscribed, but even stuy-at-nouie rebels have little chance in competition with those who fought to subvert the Union. When this rebel monopoly of office shall have been broken up, and loyalty to the Union shall

have become general and hearty, Congress may remove the disability, and will doubtless make haste to do so. We do not perceive that the justice or fitness of the iourth section prescribing that the Union public debt shall be promptly met but that of the rebel Confederacy never is seriously contested. There remains, then, but the second section, which prescribes in substance that political power iu the Union shall henceforth be based only on that portion oi the people of each State who are deemed by its Constitution fit depositories of such power. In other words: A State which chooses to hold part of its population in ignorance and vassalage powerless, uneducated, unfranchised shall not count that portion to balance the educated, intelligent, and enfranchised citizens of other States. We do not propose to argue the justice of this provision. As well argue the shape ot a cube or the correctness of the multiplication table. He who does not fl that this is simply and mildly just would not be persuaded though one rose from, the dead to convince him. That there are those among us who would not have it ratified sadly demonstrates that the good work of emancipation is not yet complete. . " But, say some, "this section is designed to coerce the South into according suffrage to her blacks."' Not so, we reply; but only to notify her ruling caste that we will no longer bribe them to keep their blacks in serfdom. An aristocracy rarely surrenders its privileges, no matter how oppressive, from abstract devotion to justice and right. It must have cogent, palpable reasons for so doing. We say, therefore, to South Carolina, "If you persistently restrict all power to your 300,000 whites, we must insist that these no longer balance, in Congress and in the choice of President, 700,000 Northern white freemen, but only 300,000. If you keep your blacks evermore in serfdom, it must not be because we tempted you so to do and rewarded you for so doing." Fellow-citizens of every State, but especially of those soon to hold elections, we entreat your earnest, constant heed to the grave questions now at issue. If those who so wantonly E lunged the Union into civil war shall e allowed by you to dictate the terms

of reconstruction, you will have heedlessly sown the bitter seeds of future Rebellions and bloody strife. Already you are threatened with a recognition by the President of a sham Congress made up of the factions which recently coalesced at Philadelphia on a platform of Johnsonism a Congress constituted by nullifying and overriding a plain law of the land a Cinlit i . l nrL.A. grflio wnouy inspirea iruui me v uue 1 House, and annealing to the sword f alone for support. So glaring an at tempt at usurpation would be even more criminal than absurd. Happily, the peoplej by electing an overwhelming maiontv of thoroughly Wl renresentativee, are rendering its initia non impossible. We cannot close without a mostde served tribute to the general fidelity wherewith, in view of the President's defection, the great body the people, ana even tne iederai omce-holders, stand fast by their convictions and their principles. The boundles pat ronage of the Executive, though most unscrupulously wieiaea against those to whose votes he owes it, has corrupted very few. either of those who shared or ot those who would gladly share, inJs enjoyment. Not one of the twenty-two States which voted to re-elect Abraham Lincoln has given in its adhesion to the President's policy, while New Jersey the only free Mate that voted against, him has ad ded herselr to the number. Our great war ha taught impressively the peril of injustice: and the lesson has sunk deep into millions of f hearts. 1 ho American people. cha tened by suffering, are wiser and no bier than they were, with a quicker and more open ear for every generous suggestion. I he 1 earful lessons of Memphis and New Orleans have not been lost on them, as is proved by the result of the recent elections in Veri -Km TIT , , inonr. ana ..uame. we cnensn no shadow ot doubt that Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa first, then New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Minnesota will do likewise, and that a true restoration, a genuine, abiding peace will thus be secured to our country a peace that will endure, because based on the everlasting foundations, of humanity, justice, and freedom.
