THE PATRIOT PRESIDENT.
How the People Welcome Him.
From the Philadelphia Age, Aug. 80.

from the Philadelphia Age, Aug. %.
No president, since the days of Andrew Jack
son, ever received such an enthusiastic and over
whelming testimonial of respect and confidence
that which greeted Andrew johnson OH his
entrance into our city yesterday. The people &
president was proudly welcomed by the people.
The procession was composed of soldiers who
had fought under the banners of the republic, as
we'll as civilians of all classes, merchants and
bankers, merchants and workingmen. The real
strength of the city fully represented, and
the president hailed, at all points along the
route, with the most tumultuous expression of
delight. Old men, the veterans Of 1SI2-the
soldiers who fought in Mexico-the heroes scar
red and manned in the late civil strife--all join
ed with their fellow citizens il shouts of vel
come to the great defender of the constitution
and the Union, while women and children added
their glad voices to the glorious welcome freely
and generously accorded by the people of Phila-
delphia to the patriot president of the republic.
The manly and heroic position occupied by
Andrew johnson with reference to the Union
and the means necessary to restore all the states
to their proper relations with the general govern
ment has Justly endeared him to the American
people. lie is not the president of section
His devotion to the Union and the constitution
knows no north, no south, no east, no west
With him 1t is one country from Maine to Tex
as, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Under his
policy the states will be equal the people broth
ers, and peace and prosperity once more reign in
every son of our united country.
Upon this platform Andrew johnson rests his
administration, and he appeals to the people for
support The answer to that appeal was given
yesterday, By the thousands and tens of thous-
ands of honest, intelligent, and patriotic free
men, who left their contingencies and FORCES,
their workshops and places of business, to well
come him to the city, and to bless him in his eff
forts to save the Union and defend the constitu-
ton. There is no undertaking Or misunderstand-
ing the meaning of yesterdays reception: An
drew johnson has no concealments as to his
principles or policy-he is for union, restoration,
and constitutional liberty, and against every man
who would put them in jeopardy-and those who
''meau to fight it out on tina. line" until the Un-
ion is really restored and the efforts of the men
who periled all for the perpetuity of our repub-
lican form of government are crowned with tri-
umphant and overwhelming success.

Funeral Professions and the President,

! The black republican newspapers are
| greatly exercised over the political tour" of
| the president, One OF them says:
3 ''Andrew Johnson has commenc ed his tour to
the grave OF Doug las with stumpspeech at Phil
adeIp ha in ravOr of my policy, which, he says,
by the help of heaven he shall adhere to. We
think we have heard something OF this kind be-
fore, though not In funeral procession. Nothing
that Mr.. Johnson could have said would have been
repugnant to The feelings of the Douglas Monu-
| ment committee as this iii-tmed political harran-
que. Since he has seen lit to lnaugurate the tour
to Chicago with copperhead partisan speech,
shall call the attention of the people to a Few
prominent facts which show how exceedingly
appropriate is an electioneeriDg tour of this
sort.''
Something OF the kind" was probably not
ever before heard in funeral procession"
There was a"funeral procession" little over
year ago In which there was something"
of an opposite kind" On the occasion of
that Funeral procession" radical Brutuses
tore open, Ct short intervals, the wounds of o
dead Caesar In order to inhame the minds of
the population against the south. That stu
neral procession" was mainly used to stir up
sectional hatreds. It was prostituted to the
base purpose of securing votes and influence
for local party the dead Lincoln was fore
ed TO take part in g movement whose spirit
and objects belied his last usterance of ''mal
lCe toWGtu meme anu CDafIty IOF dH
Suppos'ng the president to be moving
westward in Funeral procession" we can
| readily see that his uttearnces are quite in
| compatible with that other Funeral process.
sion" This funeral procession" has fla
| vor of unionism and patriotism about it that
makes 1t easy to understand why abolition
newspapers fail to recognise it as an accom-
panment OF funeral professions to which
| they are accustomed. "
The president said at Philadelphia that
"she baleful planet of fire and blood has dis
appeared and the benignant star of peace has
taken Its place, and under Its influence trust
the country will return to affection peace and
armony, and that reconciliation will be
again brought about and we be enabled to
stand together as one people and one union"
That other sfuneral procession" in place Of
such sentiments, moved in search of votes.--
1t was burning CROSS sent among the clans
to rally them for battle. Accustomed TO such
Funeral PROFESSIONS" it is quite probable
that the black republican newspapers speak
the truth when they announce that the utter
ances of the presidents are not the kind that
they have been in the habit of hearing on
such occasions. ay@ Es'@

THE TICKET.

The Springfield correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican speaking of the state tick
OF, TO be found in this paper. says:
1t is a soldiers ticket, composed of men of I'M
doubted bravery and distinguished service. 1t
is white mans ticket, opposed to sharing our
birthright with IN inferior race 1t isl patriot s
ticket, upon which every loyer of his country
can unite. It ia conservative ticket, distinctly
pronounced in favor Of the presidents policy, TO
restore fraternsl relations among the people and
prosperity to the whole country. 1t is demo
cratic ticket of indspuiably consistent men. In
a word, we have here ticket to support upon
which all can unite, and, against which the
breath of reproaeh may not be uttered. What
say the people? Shall not this ticket receive q
hearty, an earnest, an honest, triumphant sup
port?

HOW THE RADICALS TREAT FREE
PRESS

New Boston, Sept. LIST, 1866.
Col. DANF0RTH-Dedr SIR AS I ad-
yised you H few days since, the New Boston
Herald in its last issue holsted the name Of
Hon. John S. Thompson for member of con-
gress, giving isH several reasons in spirit of
candor and fairness for the course adopted.
This was tho cause of grea. commotion in
the ranks of the radicals in this city. The
few left assembled in the street in front of
Que Of our business houses and burnt copy
Of the Herald in derision, declaring that act
as a demonstration OF their opinion of that
Ehses. / shall expect to see the same parties,
Oh the occasion of the tour of the president
and party, down the river, assemble and
hang President johnson, Gen. Grant, Gen.
Sherman, Admiral Farragut. and their
friends, in efigy, and. upon their landing ct
our shore, apply the same torch TO those efhgies
thGt yesterday fred the New Boston Herald.
Why not? The same spirit that prompted
that outrage would burn in efhgy every man
who dares to support the principles enuncI
ated in that paper.
1t is but Justice to say that many who
have heretofore acted with these radicals de-
nouncs the act, and will, at the polls in No.
vsmber, declare themselves on the side of
Free Press and Free Speech by supporting
the National Union ticket.
Such dastardly &C. committed at the south
with one pint of negro blood added, would
have furnished capital enough to run the en-
tire campaign for these radicals.
We are getting along finely, gaining &c
| oessions every day, and will continue so &c
| the last, till VIC come out triumphant.
| Yours in haste, HE On.

Gen. Gustav, when in command in Texas,
issued an order forbidding soldiers of hi:
command from plundering and abusing the
citizens. For this the radical press has tax
en- to abusing hin, or rather made this the
excuse for abusing him for Ills earnest sup
port of President JohnsCns restoration poll
cy. Ben. Butler is the favorite general" of
the radicals, because he was a coward at Fit
Fisher, ard thief everywhere. Vandalism
and poltroonery are the prime qualifications
for radical heroes. Bravo men and honora
bic men have no place on the radical roll
Gen. Custar's laurels are the brighter from
the abuse of radicals.

New YORK Sept 3.--The Journey of the presi
dental party was resumed yesterday afternoon
and enlivenedby enthusiastic receptions at nearly
every station between Buffalo and Cleveland. AT
Silver Creek, Dunkirk and Erie the demonstrations
were particularly enthusiastic and drew from the
president long and animated speeches. The
party arrived at Cleveland, Ohio at O'Clock IN
the evening and were Immediately driven TO the
Kennsrd House.
At about 10 O'Clock the president appeared on
the balcony and made speech TO the crowd be-
low during the delivery of which remarkable
scene took place. The crowd was evidently large
" composed OF radicals who interrupted the pres
Ident by hoetng and shouting, and In one instance
calling him traitor. The friends of the presi-
dennt in the crowd replied to the numerous his
ses with cheers and applause and when he had
finished his speech he was saluted with loud and
continued cheers.

Harding on the Soldiers B0unty.

1t Is well for the soldiers to remember,
when a. c. Harding appeals to them for
their votes TO reelect him to congress. that
he voted against the bill equalizing the boun-
ties of soldiers by which those soldiers who
had served without any bounty, were allow
ed a bounty of one hundred dollars. This
measure was up in the house on the last day
of the session, as part of the report OF the
confere nee committee 4; ard when il came to
the final vote, on a call for the yeas and nays
the name OF Mr.. Harding, of Illinois, is re
ported among the nsys.-QHsRcy Herald.
In 1857 John 4. Logan said in the legis.
latuEs Of of Illinois:
a. sir, nm not one Of that class of politi-
clans who believe in the accomplishment of
nv purpose at all hazards. | entertain too
tender regard FOR the constitution to be
willing to see it invaded by any one"
This was g couple of years before the war.
When the war commenced, Logsn's tender
regard for the constitution" and unwilling
ness too see it invaded" changed TO a tender
regard for the rebels and o perfect willing
ness not only to see but to help on invasion
generally. Since then, his "londer regard"
has only changed from rebsls to radicas-s
change that was easy and natural.
