PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE DEMocRACY
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes as follows:
ut is observed here that Leading Demo
Gratis from various States, those with clear
record during the war, are cordially received
by the President, and have long and friendly
interviews with him. They leave him, say
inc: He is all right and they very conf
denily predict that there will be an entire
change in his Cabinet before great while
This statement is reported without the least
interest in the matter being felt 10y your cor
respondent. 1t is believed, also, that Mr.
Seward foreseeing this coming event, has i'm
timated bis readiness not to stand in the
way Of "A Cabinet reconstruction, and that
he is prepared to give his support to the
President hereafter, whether in or out of
place. The conduct Of Mr.. Chase is sup
posed to indicate his intention to form an
extreme radical party, and take his chance
with it for the next Presidency. AS it is
necessary he should have Ohio to make a
show for it, the recent movement of Senator
Sherman is considered AS the first move of
the knight for this object"

found fault with any act of Mr. Lincoln's
