LONDON, FRIDAY, 31IRCI1 16, 1866.

We learn by the arrival of the Allemania, from
New York, on the 3d, that the demonstrations in
favour of the PRESIDENT'S policy still actively con-
tinue. Seldom, indeed, has so strongly marked
and wide-spread a manifestation of popular feeling
been exhibited, and to render.it more remarkable it
is in direct opposition to the temper of the so-called
popular representatives. :The fact is, that the Con-
gress for the most part represents the extreme
policy of the war time when the Southerners were
looked upon as natural enemies, and when any
abuse of them was sure to pass current. The offi-
cials, especially belong to this category, having been
chosen at the height of the war excitement, and that
the Americans are an excitable nation no one who
reads the account of the proceedings during the last
week in February can doubt. The great majority
of the people fairly gave up their business and
thronged the streets; organising monster meetings,
awl declaring their approval of the PRESIDENT and
their disapproval of the Radicals by every means in
their power. These means were not always pacific
or orderly ; but if the Radicals and their organs did
not always encounter due respect at the hands of the
mobs, they were bound to remember that such prac-
tice was only in accordance with their own preach-
ing! After the news spread abroad that the veto
on the Freedmen's Bill was sustained in the Senate
the excitement was increased. There had been
considerable doubt on this point, and the Democratic
party thought it advisable to telegraph to Baltimore
to summon REVERDY JOHNSON, an old and in-
fluential member of their party. Ile was, it is said,
arguing a case in
Baltimore Court when the
message reached him, but
roused at once to the
importance of the occasion, he flung
__ down his brief,
after the fashion of one of Scow's heroes
s heroes in " Red-
gauntlet," and rushed off to the railway station, to
learn to his consternation and that of his
attendant
train that no train left for Washington for some
hours. An American, however, is
not easily
daunted, and very soon Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON
might have been seen en route for the
capital mounted on an engine, which safely ac-
complished the 41 miles in 40 minutes. This little
incident is an indication of the intensity of feeling
among politicians of both sides, and indeed the
issue was rightly felt to be a momentous one.
More was at stake in the trial of strength be-
tween the PRESIDENT and the Radicals than a
mere temporary measure. It was the question
whether the great States of the South were to be
ruled despotically or constitutionally ; whether the
past, with its sins, its errors, and its sufferings, was
to be healed and forgotten, or whether the old
wounds were to be re-opened, the bitterness of civil
discord intensified, and pauperism, degradation,
and discontent were to take the place of the old
