In the Senate yesterday the joint resolution relative to cadet appointments to West Port Academy was passed. Other minor matters were discussed, when the Senate, on motion, aéjourned until Monday. The republican Senators adjourned carly for the par- pose of going into caucus on the eeconstruction propo- sitions, It is believed the result will be’ facilitated by private consultation, rather than by relyiag on the ac+ commodation of conflicting views in open debate. In the House the Bounty bill, with aa amondmont de- ducting Siate and local bounties, was passed by a vote of 139 to 2. «The tax bill was next under consideration, 4 fow unimportant amendments and altcratious wore | mado, and, thirty-two pages of thé bill having bees dis- cussed, the House adjourned.

The public mind of the Northern States is ripe for a polilical revolution in our approach- ing fall elections, Tho people are ready. They need only the active organization of a national Jobnson Union movement to bring them into line. The enthusiastic Jobnson meeting held in Philadelphia on Saturday evening last, and the spirited popular gather- ing on the same night and the same platform at Westminster, Maryland, of republicans and democrats, show how the tide is drifting. The people are spontancously falling in with Presi- dent Johnson’s policy, and they need only a little active work in the way of organization to put an end to the factions and impracticable doings of the present Congress in the elections for (he next. Congress has been nearly six months in ses- sion, and what has it done in the way of Southern reconstruction and restoration? It has given us the scheme of the Joint Commit- toe of Fifteen which is now before the Senate— a echeme the manifest purpose of which is the exclusion of the lately rebellious States from the coming Presidential election, and their indefinite «exclusion from the two houses, This scheme is ingeniously covered up with the measures of President Jobnson’s policy ; but the issue remains substantially the same. The President’s policy ts Southern restoration to a voice in the government; the policy of Congress is Sonthern exclusion. This is the issue whieh will be submitted to the people in our approaching September, Octo- ber and November elections; and upon this issue, we say, the public mind of the North is Our Fall ripening for a groat political revolution, Betw en the vo-oalled conservative republi- cans 9 > domocrate ig Congress we ought to have coe thie the do Il of Thaddeus Ste- ver . opposing factions, possessing, m yovity against bim, bave each, | \ceicus- purposes, played into his iu denocrats in Congressare mostly, ii !, of the copperhead tribe, miserable trickstors or desperate revolationists, whose tactics would disgrace the rowdies of a New York democratic primary election. The con- servatives of the House of Representatives are mere playthings in the bands of Stevens. He is amused when they speak in support of the administration, for he bas tried them and knows that atthe crack of whip they will even to a bad cause more dr leas of popular om strength, ‘Thus the President bas failed in Congress to paltry party to serve, and they are against the radicals the opposition elements of gressive movement from what. Stevens calls “the other end of the Avenue.” President Jobnson must advance his standard, in view of ‘an appeal from’ Congress to' the people.’ He can do this by a reconstruction of his Cabinet, from the Secretary of Statedown to the Attor- ney General, Let him try. the experiment, and give us a new Cabinet from the leading heroes of the war—soldiers, sailors and civilians—and the Union war party will rally around him and his policy. ‘This i» the-way to commence an effective organization ‘of a national Johnson Union party, and in yiew of # wholesome rev- olution in our fall elections. Meantime we would suggest the propriety and advantages of a Johnson Union meeting in this metropolis, to strengthen the President’s hands and to en- ecurage him to take the initiative against his enemies, not forgetting the decisive step of a complete reorganization of his Cabinet. The Ohio Democracy—Their Now Wine 1m the Old Bottle. The democracy of Ohio at their recent State Convention adopted, in part, a new platform, in a resolution that “they will cordially and actively support Andrew Johnson as Presi- dent of the United States in all the necessary and proper means to carry out his policy” for the restoration of the Union, “ond especially in securing immediate representation in the Senate and House of Representatives to the eleven States from which it is now unconslitution- ally ‘and arbitrarily withheld, unless on tho degrading condition of inferiority in the Union and of negro political and civil equality, on- foroéd by the federal government.” This cordial and active support of President Jobnson is good. It places the democracy of Ohio ona anbstantial foeting;. but in their very firat resolution thoy repeatthe blunders of their New Jersey brethren last fall of adhor- “ing té the exploded heresies of the Chicago Convention.-They ‘declare “that the demo- racy: of Ohio, will adhere in the presant and in the future; as in» the past, with unfaltering fidelity and firmness to the organization of the democratic party and to its ancient and well settled principles as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson, the moral. apostle of Amorican do- Mocraty, and as acknowledged and accepted by the’party from the foundation of the govern- ment? The beginning of this resolution is substantially the beginning of tho Chicego platform; and no wonder, for Mr. Vallandig- ham, who was the framer of the Chicago reso- Tutions, was the head of the committee from seems to us very strange, and it is certainly, very unfortunate, that the Ohto democracy can do nothing without Vallandigham and bis ex- ploded abstractions. Now what are those democratic principles of Jefferson to which the Ohio democracy intend to adbere with “unfaltering fidelity and firm- ness?” They are those pernicious Siate rights resolutions of 1798 and ’99 used 69 success. fully by Jefferson in Kentucky and Virginia, and in the South generally, as a hobby upon which to ride into the Presidency, Having served their purpose in his election Jefferson cast them aside; and from that day down to the quarrel and rupture between Calhoun and General Jackson—a period of thirty years or so--httle or nothing was heard of them. Then Calhoun revived them in his State rights doctrine and experiment of nullif- cation of the federal tariff law of 1828; but Old Hickory put him down. Then the great apostle of South Carolina democracy, as Jackson had predicted, turned his Btate rights dogmas upon the slavery quéstion, the right of secession and a Southern confederacy. Those ideas, indusiriously diffused over the South and fostered and strengthened by the subservient Northern democracy, culminated in the late rebellion and went down with it in a deluge of blood. This is history; and yet these are the princi- ples which Vallandigham brings from Chicago and foists upon the Ohio democracy as their abiding platform. Thus bound to the dead carcass of the old pro-slavery, State sovereignty democratic party, the support of President Johnson by the Ohio democracy, we appre- hend, will be of very little practical value. Not until these old bide-bound copperhead leaders are set aside and the democracy begin to com- prehend the fact that there has been a deluge will they be able to retrieve their misfortunes as the peace party of the war. Under the ban- ner of Andrew Johnson Vallandigham is not the proper apostle for the Ohio democracy. Tue Mexican Muppte at Waswmncton—We understand that Colonel De Vidal y Rivas and other members of General Santa Anna's, staff, deputed to Washington for a friendly confer- ence with Sefior Romero, the Minister of the Mexican republic, bave not met with a very friendly reception. On Thursday last, after » long conversation with Sefior Romero, he, as it appears, closed the argument in a refusal to introduce the delegation to the President, hav- ing no frith in Santa Anna. This, it atrikes us, was a foolish decision on the part of Sefior Romero. General Santa Anna is persuaded to Teave his place of exile and come to the United States to give a helping hand to the Mexican republic. His long and active career in Mexico has established his reputation as soldier and made his name familiar and popu- lar among his people as a military leader. He is the man the liberals now want to unite them and give system and efficiency to their warfare against the imperialists, To secure the services of sucha man all petty personal jealousies among the supporters of Juares ought to be cast away. They should not fall into the follies of the squabbling Fenians. Sefior Romero ought to rise above such ridicu- which emanated these Ohio resolutions. It. people of the opposition of the radfoals to an early restoration of the country and increase the the fact that the leaders of the factions in that | body belong to another age. They were con- nected with the manipulation of politics prior to the war and managed, through the excite- ment’ connected with our great struggle, to secure their. election to Congress, , Thoy fail to comprehend the new order of things, and are trying to run in the o!d rats and attach to the living questions of to-day the old and Gcad. issues of the past, They are thus unable to accomplish anything for themselves and stand in the way of the live men ef the present, who are anxious to secure the fruits of our victories. A new race of men has been brought forward ‘by our war—men who are more practical and look upon the qnes- tions now at issue in an altogether different hght from those who are now manipulating the ac- tion of Congress. They are in favor of the restoration policy marked out by the present administration. The politicians in Congress, | on the other hand, soe that if that policy is successful they will be com- pelled to retire into private life-ani give way to the real live men of the day whe saved the nation from the wreck which the politicians had prepared for if, Thoy imagine that they can. prolong their power by tho same system of tactics which they adopted on former otca- atons, and that it is necessary for, them, in order to retain this supremacy, to prolong an ment of the affairs of: the nation as long as posible, For this reason they throw obstruc- tions in the way of the easy, simple and prac- tical ‘plan of restoration marked out by the President and at the same time ate anable to agree upon any proposition themselves. . These facts are becoming so apparent that not only are the radicals daily growing weaker and more unpopular with the people, but the President is gaining ‘strength, If Congress re- mains in session during the entire summer and fall it, will increnso the feeling against that “Body and bring the new race of men brouzht out by the war into active. political lite. » This elass will have the sympathy and support of the. great mass of the people and at the next ‘elections will be called upon to take the places m Congress now held by the men of the past age. They také a more comprehensive view of the questions now al issue than fhe oid wire-pulling politi- cians. They seo that the President has pro- sented.a plan of restoration which wiil secure an early peace and the prosperity of the coun- try. Whenever one of their number has spoken—from General Grant down—he has given utterance to no uncertain sound. We can tell the present demoralized Congress that our soldiers are carrying the great mass of the people with them, and, as General Martindale in his letter to Senator Sherman says, the re- construction patehwork of Congress “is tov narrow for the Union party and altogether too narrow forthe country.” If there is any doubt of this fact now the fall elections will remove that doubt. All that remains for the President now to do is for him to remodel his Cabinet, turn ont the relice of other days which now hang like a loadstone about his neck, and the success of his administration is certain. The material is at his command, ready to rally around him and make bis administration as successful as that of Jackson. |The radicals are trying their best to take this power away from him; but if Mr. Johnson will be true to himself, change his advisers and call around him mili- tary and naval heroes, he need have no fear of the result of the next Congressional elections, whether the present Congress remains in ses- sion or not. A move of this kind will reassure the public and Is required by the exigencies of the occasion. The President will be aston- ished at the demonstrations of approval that will follow in every section of the country. ‘Tem Foss Avotr tm. Firm Avaxce.—The fuss which some people age making about tear- ing down the stoops upon Fifth avenue and ruining that fine street is very absurd. The Common Council cannot and will not perpetrate such an outrage. The whole mat- ter is either a blackmailing echeme or a rail- road job. But during the debate before the Common Council Committee on Thursday & very curious incident occurred. Mr. Henry Bergh, the President of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, made an admira- ble speech in opposition to the proposed swin- dle, and thereupon Mr. George H. Purser, who seems to be the only person in favor of the measure, undertook to rebuke Mr. Bergh for his) “foreign airs,” and for having “come from a country whero he had learned the air of amastor instead of {> spirit of a democrat.” Certainly we have never heard anything more impudent. Mr. Bergh is of an old Kuicker- bockér family, and the eon of Christian Borgh, a wealthy shipbuilder. He was born im this city and completed his education abroad. We knew Christian Bergh and we know this Mr. Bergh, whom Purser denounces as » foreign aristocrat, but who is « true Knickerbocker and an intelligent, cultivated and public spirit- ed gentleman. We slso know all about Mr. George H. Purser, who is #0 much opposed to ann fis Touicr.—The organ of the Secretary of State some source, Mr, Seward ts a volumi- nous writes; He can dish up a correspondence that must confound European diplomats, if it does not convince them. Asa purveyor for the pages of a magazine ho would do remarkably well, if be should not by his prolixity weary the patience of his readers. But’ ag ® sound, statesmantike writer and diplomat he is bebind the age. It was through no policy of Mr. Seward that: Napoleon concluded to withdraw his troops from Mexico. It was. through ro “masterstroke” of -bia that the downfall of Maximilian has been precipitated. It is to General Grant and his brave soldiers that all the credit of the of thé French from Mexico is'die. ‘Tho French Em- peror with bis usual sngacity foresaw what might be done with our grand Union army after it had been disbanded, He could readily imagino how ensy it would: be for General Grant, or General Sheridan to lead their veterang into Mexico and wipe outevery ves tige of the empire in a brief period. Had President Jobnson adopted General Grant's | 3" views in regard to Mexico at the close of the rebellion Moximilian would have been driven out of the country in six months. It is to President Johnson that ‘Napoleon is indebted for being able to make his cscape from Mexico and from’ becomipg’ a’ second’’or ‘third ‘rate’ monarch ingtead of, a¥ lie. isnow, ihe arbiter, of the destinies of Kurope. “Mr, Seward’s argue’ ments apd policy havo bad-no effect. whatevor in settling this Mexican question,;and his organ should be in some better business than in’ -plastéting im all over with whmoritod praise. 4 Cunaxie OF -Emrozanion.—Our.. colonial neighbors are very mugh concerned. abont the emigration to. this country from their te:ri- tory.) It appears that five bundred emigrants who lately landed in Onnads trom the Old World came over immodiately to this side | “ “to seek homes in the Western States of the» American Union.” They remained in Toronto ono night only and the next morning (Sunday) crossed the border. The Toronto Leader sor- 1owfully exclaims, “Will our government ever offer inducements to cmigrants to r-main in Canada?” We advise the colonists ‘not to be so much distressed, The atits have found out where their interests lie, All the measures either the imperial or colonial govorn- ment can adopt to hold tho emigrant will not succéed while » more enticing couatryand bet- ter government can be reached by merely crossing a river. The best thing the Canadians can do is to emigrate themselves as soon as possible’ or become annexed to this country, which will be the same thing. The sooner they understand tbe inevitable destiny of this great republic and all the populations of the American continent with it the bettor. Tae Prorosep Loan To Mexico.—A_ propo- sition was made in Congress some time ago, and has not been acted upon yet, to gnarantee a fifty million loan for Mexico, This is alto- gether eut of place and unnecessary. Wo bave enough to do in attending {o our own financial situation and affairs without involving ourselves with guaranteeing loans for other countries and for the benofit of speculators. It Mexico were in a condition to be annexed and we should think it advisable to annex that country we wnigitt enter into such an obliga- tion of a greater one; but that time has not come yet. Nor is it necessary. The French are leaving, Maximilian will soon Jeave, Mex- ico is full of latent wealth and Santa Anna has plenty of money. It will be better and more healthful for our neighbors to work ont their own salvation. If wo were to guarantco the loan for Mexico we might be called upon to do the same for the Fenian bonds, and, con sidering the Irish element in this country and the claims of tho Irish upon us, their case, to use @ legal simile, would stand first on the calendar, The principle is wrong; it is a speculation of a set of fellows to put their hands into the Treasury, and there is no neces- sity for any euch guarantee on the part of our government. Through the moral aid of the United States Mexico will redeem herself, our capitalists will individually invest their money there to develop her latent wealth, and in due time, when she is fit for it, we will make her a part of the great republic. Jerry Davis any His Trtat.—Every day we have some fresh ramor about the trial of Jeff Davis, and tho public are beginning to woary of thewabjeot. If Congress would only pass a resviation to open his prison doors and let bim 6? whithersoover he would the people would be pertcoliy satiefled. All idea of vindiotive- ness is ebourd as weil as unpopular, His case has been soiled by Wie result of the rebellion; and the (me las when this groat na- tion should wreak iis vengeance upon a pollti- cal oriminal. Let government, then, treat Te Davis as my Unole Toby trented the fy — open the door of Fortress Monroe and let him go forth. Surely the world is large enough for Jef Davis and the United States. Nrrao-Girycerive—The decision of Commis- sioner Betts in the tiitro-glycorine case seliles the question of law in the matter of shipping this dangerous material on board of s'eam, vessels; but it appears that the evidence did not esteblish the fact as to the rexponsibility of just like thoge in jail, exoopt it was ascertained who the guilty person was and it ié to be hoped that the: matter will not be let drop. The public require protection from this dangerous compound. It is very useful for mining and other purposes and is very likely to be extensively imported if some safeguard is not interposed.
