Here we have IL out of 81 Democrats
who Uote to hear Andrew johnson and
Joseph a. Wright, illustrious Union
Democrats and AZ out of 81 who uete
against that public testimony to those
houored men in this day of trial and II
absent, or lodging 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 prop
erly, but did not prevent the intended
demonstration.
Friday evening, at an early hour, the
eommodious and elegant Court Room was
crammed to suffocation, and the speeches
of the two guests kept up until after IL.
Gov Curtin presided, assisted by Judge
Pearson, Speakers Lawrence aud Cessna,
and other eminent men. The attention
was most excellent, and the applause
most rapturous. Andrew johnson is a
stout, hearty looking man Of about fifty
years, should think, whospeke earnestly
and pressively, but somewhat with the
Southern defective oratory, in that part
of his articulation was very low aud in
distinct, and consequently not heard at a
distance, many hearers thereby losing the
thread of his argument. Gov. Wright is
an erect, white headed, straightforward,
logical speaker, forcible and patriotic.
Both gentlemen proceeded to Washing
ton, Saturday morning, on their business.
It would be we'll for the Union if they
could traverse the Free States.-LeictS
