Itis a striking fact, showing how easily © ‘tremes sometimes meet, that the radical cry of the tec asionists of 1860 is idontionl with that of the Norther p radical of to-day, namely :— The 0 nion is broken: the constitution in ali the States of the Kor ith is gone, Down with the old Union, down with ¢ old constitution; we are je the Union and outside thecom atitution; we will have a new Union and a new von- atituta nto suit ourselves or we will have none at all, Tho cry wag the same, the purpose was the same— poh: al‘power.

J repeat, we have seen a little handful of radicals, by Abeir boiduess, persistency and force, persuade, cajole or drive the great majority of the republican party away from their own avowed policy of reconstruction upon the white basis, and compel them to adopt the policy of Universal negro sullrage, to establish negro govern- Ments, and now at just lo propose an absolute military dictatorship in all the States of tho South. Isball nothing unkind of tue Senator from Indiana; 1 hie patriotism and eminont abilities. But if auytning were wanting to domonstrate the power which ‘these radicals -have bad over mass of the republieau party in changing their opinions apd roversing their policy have only w point to the able Senator from Indiana himself, once ‘among the most powerful advocates of the Liucoln-John- ‘fon policy of restoration upon the white basis, now bound and foot and dragged in chains at the victorious chariot wheels to ra the triumph of Wendel! Phillips and the Senator from Massachusetts. Even his great mind now lends its powerful influence to favor the es tablishment of governments upos universal negro suffrage, to hold, it may be, the balance of power in this repablic under the control of the bayonets of tue regular army. 1 well remember the effect produced by the speech of the Goveraor of Indiana in 1865, It came at a ‘time to be most gratefully remembered by me, for I was jm a suruggle at thas time against the radicais in to prevent them froin changing tbe creed the policy upon which the Union party the rebel! and by which alone \leavored \@ demon. jat great speoch ; it came, with its irresistible eloquence and un- ‘anewerable force of argument, I rejoiced to lean upoo his strong arm Like him, I had on more ‘tba one o:casi tiem pt that Mr. Johnson Soberited and was faiibfuily carrying out the policy of Bie predocersor, We did not then have the positive tes- vay of General Grant and of Mr. Stanton to prove hat Mr. Johnson’s North Carolina proclamation + drawn Mr. Stanton and read ovor Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet.

The Senator complained that Congress would mot modify its policy.

No fatal defects bad been found in il, and the amendatory acts had been caused by an attempt to th ir execu. tion. He hoped in future legislation they would adbore to the original intent of Congress.

Ling to them the constitutional amendment for ratifica- tion he replied that it might as well be claimed that President Lincoln had recognized them by going down ‘o Fortress Monroe to negotiate with them, Had these amendments been ratified doubtless Congress would have recognized them as valid gor nents, bat they did not, Congress, after waiting patiently to see what would be the result of the President’s attempted reor- ganivation, and finding that they would certainly go into the hands of the rebels, took necessary steps to Ta | reconsiruct them in accordance with the constitution and safety aud peace of the country, He denied the Senator's claim toat they were not willing these States shou'd be admitted. hey were striving to bave them orsanized so‘that they could be received as States in the Union, The territories and ple were then, and the peopie of South Carolina had been, 28 much subject to the Jaws during the whole of the rebellion, ina loyal point of view, as before it.

Had the people, voluntarily aband ning their hostilities in 1865, called a Convention, recognized the righis of all men and the extinction of slavery and the authority of law, they would have been recognized by Congress, ‘Suppose they had set up a monarchy; was it contended all must re- coguize it? If mos, then Congress was the judge, and until Congress recognized the State government of South Carolina there was none, ‘The constitutional amendments were submitted to Southern States by the Secretary of Siate, not Congress, though even had they dono it, it wonld not be, in his judgment, an act of re- cognition, Had (hoy adopted it, however, and done well tn othor respects, provubly Congress would have recog- nized them, Who conld say when the military powor would cease? When rebellion was put down’ Could General Sherman? He was a creature of the law, sub- ject to the regulations of Congress, dent? Was he anything more than except ax commander-in-chiel. As Prost only see that laws were faithfully executed, and if Sherman could not set up a civil government in the South, they were bound to recognize, neither could Andrew Johnson, his power over them being as Commander-in-Chief and not as President, so far as it differed from his power over Ohio or Tilinois, No Ime or word in the constitution gave any such power, As Commander-in-Chief, then, he was subject to the regnia- tions of Congress, the Legislative Department, which had decided that mo legal governments existed m the South, That cnded the question, Neither did the ques- Uon belong to the judiciary.

How then couid the Senator talk of their taking away the pardoning power? Even the constitu- tion prescribed certain qualifications for office to some exieni, apd that took away the pardon. as much as did the constitutional 2 about preme the moasuro aflecting the majori Court, he asked how he knew that three favored and five were opposed to the Roconstruction acts? He had heard onongb about this charge. If it be true, he continued, that five jndges of the Supreme Court have given their optnions that the acts of Congress are unconstitutional, I say those five judges are infamous and ought to be impeached to-morrow—just as soon as it comes before us. If it be untrue, I brand aw liars those who aseort it, Mr. Jonsson asked upon what information the Senator Party ties | repeated tho story 7 Mr. TRomBvL!. said the Senator from Wisconsin bad spoken of it.

RULOGIES ON THE LATE CORNELIUS 8 WAMILTON, The death of the late Cornelins S, Hamilton, of the Eighth Congressional district of Obijo, was thet o'clock, announed by his colleague, Mr. Lawre: Pronounced a eulogy on the deceased and offered a series of appropriate resolotions, Further remarks in eulogy of the character and public set of the deceased were made by Mesers, Morgan, Buckland and Welker, The resolutions were adopted, and the House thereupon, at a quarter before three o’clock, adjourned, AMUSEMENTS. ‘Tue Vaxpgxnore Reanines,—Mr. inaugurated his new series of up tions” at Lyric Hall last evening. Owing to the beat- ing rain of the afternoon and the earlier part of the evening, Mr. Vandenhoff was not greeted with as large ‘a bouse as might ha reputation as a master of elocutionary effect—albeit the audience was by no means a small one, the programme being far ‘too attractive to permit anybody in tho vicinity to stay at home. By way Of an opening séanee— to use a term which has been lasterly not a little abused and misapplied—the reader had selected several scones from “Henry IV.,’’ illustrative of the two opposites, Hotspur and Faistafl. The impersonation of the former was especially well effected, though, per- bape, with a trifle of affectation and over-doing of pature—a fauit 10 which those whose culture bas been rather sti ly elocutionary than broadly and paturally dramatic ecem to be pecniiarly ladle, Searcely less happy was the renditon of Fal- ‘afl, in which in sevoral paseages the exact humor of nature was hit with almost electrical effect. In i, this masterpiece of Shakspearian humor (Falstaff, of which Hackett bas hisherto been reckoned masier por excellence, Mr. Vandenhoif dispnted for the palm with a skill and discrimination which leave little room for emendation. Scoti’s -Neath of Marmion’ on the programme, and has never*bad a bap) ing. Asareader of Dickens, however, Mr. is more felicitous than in Shakypeare and Scoti—the saliont mastery of bold, natural humor displayed by Dickens im nis ergations seeming to be better fitted to Mr, Vandeuhof’s style than the more artificial creations of Scott, or the subtler and more dramatic fantasies of the “myriad-minded.’ The selection of the evening was from the “Pickwick Papors,’’ and included Mr. Winklo’s midnight adveatare, which was put with a natural, dramatic force, seldom equalled and certainly wer excelled. At passage after passage applause was elicited, and never, perhaps, did audience, having been entertained, disperse to their homes in better humor with the entertainer. Pike's Orewa House.—The “Rarber of Seville,” which was the attraction at this new and superb temple of music, gave Miss Adelaide Phillips a fresh opportumty to justify the title which she deservedly wears as the “American primn donna.” We do not hesitate to say that the réle of Rosina bas never been better supported m this country. ‘Una Voce Poco Fa,” the opening cavatina, was rendered with a pervection of florid exo- cution and of acting worthy of tho highest oulogy. George Vi mhoft town “representa- Tke duet Rowna and Fig (Signor Orlandini) was also admirably rendered. coquettishness aud —archness of += Rosina hi nover beon more satisfactorily represented.

The choruses were ably conducted by Ritter, and the orchestra was all th P= ole desired. The next oratorio will be Bristow janie! ‘i CY POLITICS, The Young Men's neral Tammany Hall. An adjourned meeting of the above committee was held Jast night for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization for the year 186%, The following officers wore chosen:—Chairman, Kdward H.
