Here We have l3 out of 81 Democrats
who u0le to hear Andrew johnson and
Joseph A. Wright, illustrious Union
Democrats-and A. out of 67 who Uote
against that public testimony to those
honored men in this day of uial-and II
absent, or dodging the vote.
While this was going on, the Com
mittee of Arrangements had quietly Sc.
cured the larger and more commOdious
Court Room for the reception, SO that the
opposition Of the "Copperheads" only
served to get them on the record proper
ly, bat did not prevent the intended de-
mOnstratiOn.
RECEPTION OF JOHNSON AND WRIGHT.
Friday evening, at an early hour, the
cOmmodlous and elegant Court Room was
crammed to sutiocation, and the 81 Fesches Of
the two guests kept upuntll after III. Gov
Curtin presided, assisted by Judge Pear
500, Speakers Lnwreuce and Cessna, and
other eminent men. The attention was
most excellent, aud the applause mos,
rapturous. Andrew johnson is stout,
hearty-looking man of about fifty years,
should think, who spoke earnestly and
impressively, but somewhat with the
Southern defective oratory, in that part
of his articulation was very low and indis-
tinct, and consequently not heard at dis
tance, many hearers thereby losing the
thread of his argument. Gov. Wright is
an erect, white headed, straightforward,
logical speaker, forcible, ard patriotic.
Both gentlemen proceeded to Washington,
Saturday morning, on their business. 1t
would be well for the Union if they could
traverse the Free States.
