COMMENTS OF THE New YoRK Press. Ray
monds paper, the Times, says: The birth
day of Washington was fttlngly chosen for
popular demonstrations in favor of the Union,
That in this city was triumphant. That
at Washington, equally enthusiastic, was
even more significant, for there the President
himself uttered Thoughts that breathe and
words that brun." That effort Of wisdom and
patriotism will secure for hin the gratitude OF
his own country and the appreciation of the
world. When this wonderful speech has been
attentively read and digested by the Amerl-
can people, President Johnson will. be as firm
" established in their confidence and atec-
tions as the most popular of his predecessors
The Herald SAYS; Andrew Johnson has taken
up the gauntlet which the Jacobins in Congress
have flung down The ''nian at the other END OF
the avenue" has shown his appreciation OF That:
Stevens and his radical clique by the bold and
uneompromising manner in which he denounced
them by name, in his speech in Washingt ton, or
the 22d, as traitors and revolutionistS. lie TOOK
plain issue with Ehem in honest and holneiy
words. He stands for the Constitution and the
Union lis enemies, he declares, are WORKING
ont another rebellion. The country, we opne,
viii sustain the President in this view. on the
whole, President JehnsonS speech Is Doio, ltlahtJ
and outspoken. More bold than anything Sh'eh
Mr. Lincoln ever pronounced, II is net less reoo
lent Of wit It is not as classical as Sninner, as
ornate as Phillips, nor as evenly balanced IN Es
sentences as Seward, but st possesses the sterling
qualities of frankneos, courage md truth. 1t -
in fact, u speech suited TO the lnan and to th'
! times. ... - - .----
TheNecs TINS comments :Tfe name of Andrew
Johnson s upon the Inns Of the peoplG in accents O
delight and admiration. Never, perhaps, in the
history of our country have the words Of any one
man sent such thrill of hope aud satisfaction
through the popular heart AS those brave words
of defiance that the Pr, sident, on TIM sdaY
flung in the teeth Of the radical consPirators
The masses are quick to appreciate the merits o
an act of reat political Significance, and they
have as if By instinct, measured the value ofsthe
bold and determined speech Of their Chief Magis
trate. They recog ize init,a promise ofredemP
ton from the tyranny of faction and ianatIclsm

NEWS FROM HoME.-The radicals in Washing
ton are hearing from home by every mail, and
all they hear deepeus their conviction that they
have made great mistake. The people elected
their represen ,atives on platforms that pledge
them to support the President and bis policy,
and not to follow the crazy lead of Thad. Stevens.
The people do not forget, and what the radicals
now hear is the comm cement of a FIRE in the

continues IN the city. The Railroad
drivers of almost every line in the city
are now in 1t, and those who have not
as yet struck, threaten to do SO at any
moment. The inconvenience to the
public is immense. No compromise
has as yet been effected with the men
by the directors, and as the latter are
determined to hold out, it is hard to tell
how the matter will end. Throughout
the men have acted in a quiet, peacea-
BILE manner, and no attempt whatever
at disturbance has been made. A large
number of the people living up town
were compelled to walk last evening
and this morning.
