THE PRESS AND THE PRESI-
DENTS SPEECH.

The New York Tlnes, is the only pa
per among our exchanges, having re-
publican antecednets, which finds moth
ing to regret and everything to praise in
President JOhnson's extraordinary
speech of Thursday afternoon. That
paper however, cannot find words strong
enough to express its applause ut both
! the manner and the matter Of it, and de-
, votes three different editorials to Iauda-
ton of the Presidents language, calling
it ''great effort of wisdom aud patriot
ism, "and remarking that "there is not
point touched in the speech that does
not find response in Union loving
hearts," The Evening Post, on the con-
trary, which endorsed the veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, expresses the
deepest regret at the Presidents speech,
declares it 'uncalled for and Offensive"
a misfortune to the nation" and trusts
that The will make haste to apologize to
the country" for the shocking and I'M
seemlyi imputations" against Messrs.
Stevens and Sum ner The Cincinnati
Commercial has supported the Presi-
6sWt's policy from the first, and is accus-
toned to denounce the radicals as bit
terly as Mr.. johnson himself but it calls
his late speech iniudicious and III, becom:
ing to his high office, and advises him
to follow the discreet example of his
predecessor, and acknowledgment
speaking.
