What Uight Have Been.
[From the Nation.]
Tho disappointment which Mr. Slevons oxpressed a woek ngo over tho result of tho Inbors of tho Ueconstruction Commit¬ teo has probably boon folt, though not .so keenly, by thousands who make outward 'professions of satisfaction with that result, though porhapa very fow havo reached Mr. Stevens' ngo under tho delusiun, from which he has been so cruelly awa¬ kened, that they woro dealing with angels and not with men. It is impossible, in (nfl, for anybody lo recall tho expectations by whicii the publico mind was nniiunlcd for a month or twt) nftor Mr. Lincoln's death, nnd not bo painfully reminded of the dilTorcnoo whioh is almost alwnys fuund to exist in politics between promiso and por¬ formanco. At thnt timo it was confident¬ ly believed that thoro would bo suoh agen¬ eral punishment of traitor.s that treason would bo made, if not forover "odious," as Mr. Johnson promised it would be, at leiwt forever dangorouB. In fact, the in¬ tentions of the new President on this point appeared to bo of a most snnguinary character, nnd a good many cxocllont peo¬ ple, who folt juat as indigniint wilh the South ns ho did, wore afraid ho would dis¬ grace tho nation by bis oruollics to tho leaders. Every timoio delivered a speech to a deputation tho wholo South quaked, especially "tho aristocracy," nnd tho poor prisoners trembled in their onsciualos.— The rebels of largo properly were to bo got rid of root and branoh. Ilo had lived amongst them and fought them twoniy years, know them woll, and flattered him¬ self ho know how lo denl with thom. Wo oertaioly all believed that ho did know, if anybody know, nnd wo all folded onr hitnds nnd waited to soo hitn reform Southern society, under tho guidance of his bitter experionco. Tho essential thing ho said, was, to break down tbo larpo planters, who wore tho nroh-llchols. ll was not enough to tako their slaves from thom ; ho knew better thnn that. This was already dono, nnd was vory well as far ns it wout. Thoy muat lo.so their over¬ grown estnU'S as woll, nnd be scraped down lo tho dimensions of hard working farm¬ ers; so ho eioepled thom all from Iho amnesty, nnd the North, trusting to his wisdom and knowledge of Souihern needs, acquiesced in his decLsibn. It was hard measure, everybody folt, to deal out lo so largo a class; it would probably prejudice us in lho oyes of foreign nations, and would prolong ill-feeling; but Mr. .lohn- Bon snid it was necessary, and it was not for us, who had never fought thia arislnc- rney for long ycar.s in Tennosseo, to differ with hitu.
Nnw, of these two thinga whieh ho pro. nounocd in Mny, 180.1, and pronnuiircil deliberately, rcpcalodly, as lho result of long experience, to bc ubRolutoly necessa¬ ry to tho reon;anization of Southern Soci¬ ety nnd tbe futuro pcnco nnd seourity of tho Union, and which ho then placed foretnoat in his plan of reconstruetiiin, he has performed neilher. llo Inn puiii.slied no traitor. Ilo has given nn indleatioii of any desire or intention, sinco the periud abovu iiiuutioncd, to punish any traitor. Ho hn.s taken ovory pos.siblo means open to him, to show that he doos not oonsider it neoessary that treii.son should bo made "odious," or even consider rebellion to bo treaaon. On thc contrary, he has on more than one occasion given us clearly lo un¬ derstand that, in his opinion, thc only good purpo.io that would be sorved by the trial of Davia, or of aoy other Uebel, would bo llio decision, us an inleresting point of law, of thc question whether it is possible fur u man acting under the ordors of his own Slate to coii;iuit such an of¬ fence as treaaon ngaiust the United Stutes. Ilo issued what now nppenr-, to have been a very fooliahnroolamatinn, charging Davis, Clay, and utliers with havinp; insti¬ gated the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, otfered sn enormoua reward for their ap¬ prehension, nnd when poor D.ivis was caught, clapped him in irons. The pub¬ lic thought, of course, that when he made thia awful eharge—a charge which, whon made against men who hnd occupied the position that thcso men bad oooupied for so many years in our aooicty and UoverD- mont, and on whora one-third, at least, of our oountrymcD bad lavished tho highest marks of conQdenoe in thoir gift, would, if proved, have been, perhnps, everything oonaidered, the foulest blot that oould hare fallen on our civilization—ho mnst have bad in his hands proofs as strong as thoae of Holy Writ, and that ho would bring tho wretches to justioo without de-1 Uy. It now appears he had nothing of | the kind. It appears tbat he bad no j foundation for this oharge that would | be«r either a lawyer's scrutiny or publio | oritieisu). It appears thai tbo charges of thfl proc'amation were simply pahsionito I and ill-considered dieplays of zeal, wbioh, I u it vras so vory shurt-lived, ean hardly i haro been very sincere. We say that all | this appears, beeauae no allusion  to  th^t
chargo hna ever sinoo been made, bocnuso one of tho accused hos been discharged from custody, and no prelcncc is made that Davis is hold upon it.
Now na regards Mr. Johnson's courso townrds the Southern nristoerncy. He pronounced their breakdown neceaaary, nnd he armed himself with the powortif occompliNhing it by mnking tho poa.icssion uf a curtain amount of forluno, presump- tivo evidence of unusual gilt. We speak advisedly when we say that ho haa not giv^n tho smallcEt proof that hia opinion with rogard to tho necessity for breaking down the aristocracy was over sinooroly hold. Ilo h-is, without assigning any rea¬ son for it, refrained cautiously from luking any step that was iu lho least likely to break it down. Tho abolition of slavery ho bns insisted upon, beoause he found the work already done; but everyihing boyond this which seemed likely to niter the .sirueluro of Southern soeiely he hos utoadily and pertinaciously resiatod. lie has givon tho wholo weight of his influ¬ ence, personal and official, to keeping things at tho South as nearly in their for¬ mer eondition as po.ssibIe. lie has exact¬ ed nothing whieh thn war bad not rea derefl inevitable. Ho has dono absolute¬ ly nothing lhat ho could avoid doing lo weaken the ela.ss whose very existence ho oftcM informed us wna a standing menace to our political sy.slem. Hchas conflsca- tod no man's properly, and if ho haa re¬ fused pardon to any of his dreadful 8'20,- 00 men," na part of a aystom iulended to impoverish nnd brenk up thi.s claas, wo havo yet to hear of it.
Now, it may bo that the courso ho lias actually lakon, has bceu wiser than the one ho first traced out for himself. It may bo that his wild speeehea of last win- ter«cmbody mure wisdom than hia wild speeches of last summer, but liuw aro we ] to know this? Has he, wilh thia suddon j change in opiniona fresh beforo uur eyes, nol bceu asking a vaat deal too muoh, in asking us to believe ho wns best lilted to do the work of rocun.slruolioti 7 If his | view.s in May were wotthloss, whnt reason was there, wo aak in tho nnmo of common snnae, for supposing that his views iu Oe¬ lober or Noveniber were nny bellor? Ia it safo to trust a man wilh nny tnsk of states¬ manship wlio gives you pliiuly to under¬ sland that thc words ho uttered, standing by his predecessor's grnve, with tho most j awful responsibility-proKsiiig upon him,! and a wholo naliun looking up to him v,'illi a eonlidcncc that nuw Kccnis childish, wero but na idlo wind, to bo repudiated or forgotten on the morruw, without even an excuse or an cxplunalion. If .Mr. Juhn¬ son meant, aflor his accession to tho I're.iideucy, lo carry out the polioy which hc then traced, his subsequent cuurse shows hiiu to possess ao little judgemcrt, so little knowledge on tho only subjeet in tho whole range of humnn kuowlodgc of whieh anybody expected him to kuow any¬ lhing, thnt it would have been madness for Congross to have let him have hia way. If ho did not mean tu do su, hia subau. quent courso furnishes an illusliation uf his dishuncaty luo painful to make com¬ ment on it possible.
His )msition al tliiii moment i,i tulotobly humiliating. He had, when ha luuk ofliee, ono ofthe finest opportunities thnt ever pre¬ sentod ilsolf lo a slntesman. Olbor mon, of as mean beginnings ushe, have reaelied dignitica perhnps aa lofty; but wn ilouht if there is a cnso in history wbere a man has fuund himself armed wilh power whicii there was ao little lomplation to use for mean, or baso, ur nnjusl enda. Ilo had a whole nation nt his baok, still seething with the exoilement uf a contest which snfl'ering had purified, which, beguu in lovo of country, every batllc nnd march had helped to raiao iulo a crusade fur aim¬ ple freedom, simplo justice, simple hu¬ maniiy. Ilo fuund the American peoplo in perhaps the noblest mood lo which any people has ever risen—to whieb, per¬ haps, in our lifetime this people will cv¬ er rise—flinging ils armiea,-Its treasure, at his feet, and piling ila blosainga on his head, and asking him to see to it that tho laat vestago of ooDtradictioa|kptwecn its principle's and its practice wll removed, and to proelaiin to Iho world that the na¬ tional rtcognition of tho equality of men whioh tho aolors in tho first revolution had put on paper, the actors in thii revol- tion had embodied in their lawa. He let the golden mouient slip away; took to mumbling before his oltl idols the otd in- ciintatloni; saw tho r.cal which aeeompliah¬ ed so much, and stood ready to acoom- pliah BO much more, cool down before his oyea ; aaw tho economical and calculators and money.changers go back to their books, and oamo down from bis euiinonco lo de¬ vote himself lo the oouatruclion of "his pulioy," tbo exact nature uf whieb, prob¬ ably, nobody will bo able in ten yeara to remember, und whieh will loavo about aa much traoo on the history of the cuuuliy aa the Saturday specebei in the Home of Ilcprcsoutatives.
OOSE.
Let ovcry palriot in tho land give thanks that Andrew Juhnson, tho ncoidental I'resident of the United .Slates, has been driven by the integrity and faithfulness of thoso who eleeted him, to throw bimself into tho arms of thoae for whoso benefit he sought to destroy the party organiia¬ tion whioh suppressed lho rebellion nnd rescued the Qovernment from its would- bo deslroyors. Whilo wo grierc that tha loyal poople of this nation wero deceived by tho profusaions of tho betri^ycr; and whilo wo luuurn thut one who promised ao woll should prove false to tliose v»ho confided in him, yet we rcjoioo that he has decided to take hia stand outside of llio Union organization. Judns was pow- erfsl fur mischief only so long as ha re¬ mained wllh and was part of the chosen twelve. Tho moment that ho gave tho signal lhat betrayed bis Master into tho handa of tho enemy, he lost his influenco, and thereafter ho was pitiod by his for¬ mer eompaniuna, and despised by those who hnd purchased and prufited by hia servicea. Johnsou ia not of tbo Union pnrty; ihorofore, it ia woll that ho has dccidod lu Cglit outside of its organisation. By deceit he threatened lo weaken our rauks; by open opposition ho will inoreaao our airenglh. To-day, thank Ood, tho lines aro drawn. The President has de¬ cided upun his courao. lis has arrayed himself upon tho sido of lho opposition. Tho Uoion men, with few exeeptiona aro bnck in their places. Tho ranks which seemed, a while ago, to bo irregular and broken, nro ngain compnot and in line.— Tho middle party whieh threatened so much mischief havo swallowed up the Democratic party, and undur a new namo, yet tu bo chosen, the rebels and Ooppor- hoads, and Uaion deserters, will appear under the lend of a political Judas. Tho fate of tho pnrly is os cortain as wns tho falo of tho Tyler party. Those who sought tho dcstruclion ofthe Government, nndltiOBe in tho North who nympathiiod with tho rebellion, will accept thia treaa¬ on ns a crumb of oomfort they did not an¬ ticipate; but, nevorthelosB, thoy will des¬ pise tho traitor. The moro nccoptanea, however, of Johnson'a (reaobery, and the prufofsed endorsoment of hia eourae by the Democrals, ncecs.iarily links their for¬ tune witb hia, and both loader and follow¬ era muat aink together. Tho Democrntio party cannot fight manfully undor that banner Thero ean be no display of pluck in auoh a cause. A new party i« to ho built upou tho dregs which troaoh- cry haa extrncted from the gront Union urganiintiun. That will provo weaker than a sandy foundation. Upun the first chnrgo of tho veteran ^rmy of Unio|iistf, led by the soldiers who ernshed the re¬ bellion, it will be swept out of existenco. Domocrata who are abuut to be swallowed up, wilh their organization, in tho John¬ son party, wili maka this disoorery in Ocloher, if not sooner. Tho resigoation of .Mr. Dcnuison as a lueinber uf Mr. Jolinsoii's Cabinet will mark the date of the formal withdrawal uf the President from the parly thst sleeted him. Tho Postmaster licncral remained in the Cabi¬ net until convinced that the President was dishuncat; and wc may remark that hilhuUu he hnd been led to believe that Mr. Johnaon eould not bo Tylerized, or I diivcn frum the |iarlv that elected him. I Kul lho nnisk having been renioved, and I thc previously concealed treachery reveal- I ed, .Mr. Dennison promptly wiihdrcw, and ; louk hia aland upuu Uniun principles and I wilh bis Uuiun friends. I Whether Welles propose* (ogo into tbe 1 new party, we cannot say. Seward of I oourio will go. It is hii wurk in a meas¬ ure. Ho bas never ln-i-n heartily witU ; tho Union party since it failod to nomin- j oto him fur President io ]8(iO. He il L now seeking revenge, and aiming al th» I same time at thu Preaidenoy. Poor dela- j ded man I His ridiculous aspirations will ; have tbcir end only in tho graro. ITo I wua novcr elroug enoagh to be eleoted I Preaident. Ho was nerer leas available I than he ia to-dny.
