The President's Opposition ona ; can so ' of mmntaint against the President, which is independent ot the unfortunate difference of opinion between Mrt Johnson and the nation, lie has refused to rnake an honest, straightforward opposition to Congress; When his administration begun no ;Dcgan a course of unfairness which, we J car,, is not yet ended. Democrats claimed . b'm as a Democrat, and Republicans, fresh from private conversations with his Excellen- cy )as emphatically claimed him as a Republic can. No one then could determine his policy . from his words, and those who quoted ? his strong language about hanging rebels as high as Jlaman soon found that they might as well quote, as proof of his intention, the bulls of the . Pope.: t His actions were alone to be de pended upon, and these contradicted every" loyal pledge he had made. Even then no one could tell ho tv far Mr. Johnson had been con verted to the faith of his enemies; ; He ap proved the Freedmen's Bureau bill when it . was shown to him by Senator Trumbull, and opposed it vehemently a few weeks after, - when it had been passed. So when the recon etructioh acts ivere adopted, Mr. Johnson vetoed them , on the broad ground that they placed the lives and property of all the people lit the South absolutely within the power of the district commanders, but when they be ; camo laws his ! Attorney-General discovered that-the military authority was a mere police forcer and the President, sent that opinion to the commander of each district. It was also understood that the President would execute, the laws in good faith, anctin this belief Con gress adjourned last April. But did he take any steps! to carry out the intent of the laws ? On4the contrary, Gen. Sickles could not even obtain from the Navy Department one poor gunboat. The whole course of his opposition to the rill of the people is a singular combi nation of stubbornness and insincerity, yet there have always been Republicans ready; to put faith in Presidential repentance, and the prospect of his reconciliation with" Congress. Wo are disposed to believe that there is no weapon J1 however pettv it may be, that An drew, Johnson will not use, now that we have read his last message to Congressr Veakness of intellect and strength of obstinacy, could gO The following ia, a. correctoopy of - the amendment proposed as Article XIV of the Constitution of the United States.

This is mere pettifogging. The intelligent Democrats who ironically com mented on it in .the Senate, indicated the se vere treatment Mr. Johnson will certainly re ceive from that party when his term of office exoireair Did he actuallvrsuDnose i that; the "country could; be frightened by the; debt of $100,000,000 he invented, or; that such a self evident stroke of demagoguism would affect a single vote in Congress, or the result of one township election ? We are afraid that Mr. Johnson did entertain hopes ot ingntening other people, though we cannot do him the injustice to suppose that he was in' the least scared by his own imaginary monster. Those who manufacture bug-a-boos. "are not terrified by their horns or tall. It would be better for the President were he to abandon this dubious and trivial policy at once. The best part of his Administration is over, ana m tne twenty months that remain there is sno danger that his plans will triumph. lie will remain in "Washington in defeat, h will leave office in defeat, and had better recognize his defeat. But if he will not, surrender to Congress, we beg ; him' to oppose it squarely, and to give no more double constructions of the laws he don't likeand no more broomsticks dressed up like specters of national ruin.-r-iV; T.

MISCELLANEOUS, The British Parliament lately had a discus kn ori lecmlting the army, during which one officer attacked the ! present system in brisk style. He declared that it was a. system' of pure, kidnapping under official sanction, in which the hapless men were first made drunk and then enlisted by false pretences. 1 The in telligent London correspondent of the New York Titties, in commenting on this debate, a8scrt3 that England, in case ;of a war, will have hard work to get men to do her fighting, and that against Russia's million and a half , and. France's million, she could hardly muster, without conscription, even 100,00 men, exclu sive of those required in her distant ports and colonies. .. . .... .:. y; T r: , ' ' X short time since, the Imperial Box at the r Italian Opera in Paris, was occupied by a party such as will not soon be seen together again.
