THE PRESIDENT TO TIE PHII.A-
DELPHIA JOHNSON CLIB.

The President is still calm but firm in his
adherence to the views which have governed
his administration TO the present time. The
buster of the violent leaders of the Radi
Gals does not defect him hairs breadth :;
and the course of events to-day Transporting
at Washington, is evidence that the factious
resistance to his broad and statesmanlike
policy of restoring peace and re-establishing
the foundations Of the Government, set up
by interested and ambitious men, who
fear that the return Of quiet will retire them
to the obscurity Of private life, is yielding
before the expression of popular judgment
to which the President has successfully APP
pealed. There are those, who, because they
cannot see positive results every day, have
been apprehensive that the extremists would
eventually triumph over the conservatism
Of the President. We venture TO say that
Andrew johnson in his most anxious mo-
ments, has never felt respondent as
10 the ultimate result. One of the
strongest features in his character as
u public man is the sagacity with which
he is able to discern the bearing of the pub
lie mind, and the confidence with which he
relies on his judgment. He knew Whist the
American people wanted when the war
terminated, and he went to work TO do their
will. He knew, too, that aspiring and mis-
chievous men would seek to thwart him,
and that they had available material to ope-
rate with. But he had closely celebrated
the chances in the struggle, and when this
is done his mind is beyond the influence Of
doubt, and the energies Of his will are
brought in play 10 verify his Judgment.
Let the friends of the administration but
emulate the spirit and confidence exhibited
by the President, and the day Of the coun-
try's delivcrance from the thralldom Of Rad
icalsm will be FASTENED.
In this connection, we append the fol-
lowing letter from the President, through
his Secretary, addressed to the johnson
Club at Philadelphia:

THE GAINESVILLE Express refuses TO adopt
the general scale Of advertising lately agreed
upon by the country press, at a meeting in
this city. 1t says:
Having already adopted scale of prices
for advertising which we consider remunera-
tive, we shall certainly decline entering into
any combination by which ourpatrons would
be forced 20 accede 20 an advance in prices
or withdraw their patronage from us. We
are of opinion that the object of this con-
vention WIS to take such steps as were deem
ed necessary in order to secure fair COM
pensation for legal advertising, and under
this impression, we honestly desired its
success.
