Public Sentiment.
From the Tribune.


The 7arnes has the e1rontery to say that
There are four persons, according to tue latest
census VINO dlsapproVe the recent speech OF Presl-
dent johnson. lacy are Charles sumner, Chaddgus
Stevens, Wendell Phillips, and TIE dead duc<'
Colonel EorneY The rest of tie people hnd the sen.
tments of that speech emnently patriotic, and IN
accordance with the principles If constitutional
liberty"
The folly of such assertions dwarfs even
their unyeracity. The clear developments of
Mr.. Johnson's proclivities last week are not yet
six days old; yet they have already been con-
demned by the Union majority in each of the
Legislatures of Maine, Massachusetts,, Ohio,
Union State Convention of Indiana. Nobody
dare attempt to indicate the Legislature OF any
one of the twenty-five States whose votes aided
to make Mr.. johnson President which is now
even expected to indorse his freedmen's bill
veto and Thursday night speech. On the other
hand the Copperheads and late Rebels have
every where applauded cheered, fired guns over,
and in every way eV1nced their delight In, those
deploI able utterances.
Ihey have no shadow Of doubt that the Presi-
dent is henceiorth all their own; that he will
veto any bill designed to protect and preserve
the freedmen that Congress may pass. II his
position as between parties for the moment is
equivocal, they regard this as only maintained
in order that he may bring the larger rein.
forcement with him when he shall at length
throw off all disguise, and proclaim himself
wholly their own. They assert that the Cabinet
is soon TO be remodeled in their interest; thai
everythin is working as they would have it
with view to their speedy and enduring tri
umph. We defy any man to name Copper
head or still malignant Rebel who Is not en-
raptured with the recent acts OF the President
which Republicans are dragooned to indors
and uphold. When they generally do 1t, tn
blackbirds will all be white.

President Johnson and the Radicals-The
Issue Before the Country.

FROM the Herald.
The late unanswerable veto message of Presi.

OF Southern restoration, and his late emphatic
speech against Thaddeus Stevens and that school

assassin to his partner in business. He died soon
after, in great agony. feud exists between
the See Yup and fung Wo and Ming Yang Com
