JUSTICE ToTHE PRESIDENT. It seems that injustice has been done to President John- son in regard to passage in one of the speeches made during his stumping tour last summer. A friend at Washington ask ed him few days ago whether. his alleged remark about Closing his head like James the second was not blunder of the report CT rather than of the President himself.
 Certainly it was, said MT. Johnson, stthe whole press of the country seemed to be brought up to misrepresent what I said.
 and to make me appear ridiculous in the eyes of the world. I never said that .James the Second lost his head It was Charles the Second I spoke of. "-R Rochester Democy:;nt.
