The Cleveland Herald Gays that since the
week of prayer at the beginning OF January,
there has been q remarkable religious inter-
est in that city. Daily union prayer meet
ings are held in several of the churches,
and the Sunday services, and those of Lent
in the Episcopal churches, are attended by
unusually full audiences. There is no ex-
element, and no revival preachers have
been employed. Nearly one hundred per-
sons have united with the Methodists, 1O8
with three Of the Presbyterian, about 100
with the Baptist, and a number with the
churches of other denominations.

The heart of every patriot swells with gratitude

strations made all over the North where the Pres
idents policy is not only recognized but endorsed
He seems to have touched the popular heart, and
they respondingin manner to make the radicals
feel that an earthquake is threatening to swallow
them It would he better for Sumner, Stevens,
Wade ct id0mne genus, that amillstone wereh hanged
about their necks and they were thrown into the
bottom of the sea, than wake the vengeful anger
Of an offended people
The President in his reponse made to the peo-
pie of Washington, (who waited upon him and
presented, in person, the resolutions passed at
Growers Theatre,) paid his respects to these Jaco
bin worthless, denouncing them by name in terms
of unmeasured severity. He said the Southern
rebellion had been put down, and that the rising
rebellion in the North must be put down" He
pledged himself to protect 'he people, the Constt-
lion and the UniOn."
A meeting was to be held at Cooper Insti-
tute, New York City, on the same night, pre-
sided over by the Hon. F. B. Cutting Secre-
tary Seward and Mr.. Dennson, of the Cabi-
net, mad left Washington to attend it, and to adj

The Late Snceehes.

The evidence continues to accumulate of the
favorable impression made by the President upon
the popular mind i'll his speech delivered to the
people of Washington, from the porttco OF the
White House. on the odd inst. North and South,
East and West, they expressing their determl'
nation to support him while discharging the du-
ties of his high office, after the manner declared
by him upon that occasion. His bold, ardent
and manly bearing, his readiness to meet the issues
thrust upon him. his noble declaration to protect
the people from the malpractices of reckless DEM
aeogues and to preserve the constitution and the
Union were received by thunders of applause
Mr.. Stewards speech in New York, upon the
contrary was 90 cool, too philosophical, too pas
sionless for the times. His unruffled equanimity,
unsuited to the occasion. 1t wears too much
the appearance of toying fiddle-faddle While
speaking of it, the Petersburg Lade. INDUCES in
the following remarks
THE NEW YORK MEETING.
We surrender our space to-day to the address OF
Mr. Seward before the Mass Meeting, held to en-
dorse the Great Veto, in New York, last Thursday
night We do not regard it as most OF our con-
sentative contemporaries seem to do, as frank and
statesmanlike pport of Andrew Johnson.
It is not that and nothing like that No one
ced that Mr. Seward was there for the purpose OF
preventing a breach with the radicals. There Is a
Mark Tapey 'iollity" about this effort that Is as
painful as the melancholy effort of our Mark
when sick of the fever. The whole speech is full
of the soothing phrase ''nobody is hurt" no dan
ger, gentlemen--but, especially, "there is no ne
cessity for breach in the party"
Postmaster General Dennison was there for the
same purpose, and for that alone. He said
He the speaker did not believe there was any
necessity for difference of opinion between the
President and the Congress of the United States
in relation to the matter which now agitated the
country, and he regarde this meeting as an au'
gnry that the dangers which now portend would
soon pass away.
Danish the idle dream, gentlemen. There is
wide gulf between the President and the Congress-,
and while you were applying your bland rhetorical
poultices to the wound in the party Andrew John
son was laundering denunciation on the heads of
the leaders of that party, and pointing every shaft
he launched by stamping it with the lame of the
destined victim Some party may survive, but it
is not the party of Stevens, and Sumner, and
Wade and the lesser fry, down, down, down to
that corrupt hreling of the Senate, Jeremy Didler
Forney--or if it does it must do without Andrew
johnson. He will have none of it.

Before taking final action upon the proposition
to combine the North Carolina and Atlantic Rail
roads, it will be hoped the General Assembly will
act with that deliberation which the important
interests involved require; and that they will not
by hasty and inconsiderate Legislation iniuriousy
affect interests which should be carefully guarded
by them.
The question is one of moment to Wilmington,
and we hope step may be taken calculated to
leopard or impair her commerce.
We will recur to this subject again.

The LABOR QUESTION IN FLoRIDA.--The Marin
Courier, Feb. LIST, says:
We have conversed freely with farmers, III re-
gard to the present state of free labor on the plan
tations and are pleased to record that the fear
heretofore entertained by majority, were illus

an interest and apparent determination to perform
his labor well and faithfully. Contractors will find
it the best policy to deal openly and fairly, with
the laborer, that he may know at the end of the

troll him by good advice as to his earnings, and
instruction to be eful and economical. W

But we see and witness what has TRANSFERRED
since his day. We remember what he did in 1928
when treason, treachery, and infidelity to the
Government and Constitution of the United States
then stalked forth. 1t was his power and intu-
ence that went forth then and crushed the treason
in its infancy It then stopped, but only for
a time. The spirit continued; there were men
disafected to the Government both North and
South. We had peculiar institutions of which
some complained and to which others were at
tached. One portion of our countrymen advo-
Gated that institution in the South, another OPP
posed it in the North, and it resulted in creating
two extremes. One in the South reached the point
at which they were prepared to dissolve the Gov
eminent Of the United States, to secure and pre-
serve their peculiar institution" And in what
may say on this occasion [ want to be under
stood. There was another portion OF our country
men who were opposed to this peculiar institution
in the South, and who went to the extreme of be-
ing willing to break up the Government to get
clear of it. !Applauso 1 ain talking to you to-
day in the common phrase, and assume to be
