The city was j. a perfect commotion yesterday
The grand publ ic meeting to indorse President
johnson came . d with much eclat The President
WAS serenaded, and made speech in return. The
breach betwee IN the President and the radicals is
complete. Taey denounce him in the bitterest
terms. The geto of the freedmen's bureau has
brought mat tefs to q focus The Republicans are
desperate, md they would stop at nothing. For
tunately th sy cannot II appears from the vote
IN the Sen ate, command the requisite two-thirds,
70 sHppla 1T the President The only thing left is
an appeal To the people Of the North The cleo
v tions ding on from this time forth will be most
fercely contested. One great thing in favor Of
the Pres idents success Is that the material inter
ests Of The North are Immensely concerned in
having the South harmonized and restored to her
natural condition in the Union as soon as possible.
Hence Ut win be found that the pivot on which the
consels svatiye cause rests, ia the State of New
\ York. There are two great interests atthe North
Of i'm mense power-the commercial interest and
the public debt interest. Some persons at the
North are apprehensive the South may go in for
reprsdiation. 4 If it were not for this fear, the
mofiied interest North, speaking in general terms,
wolnld 60 solid for President Johnsons policy. 1t
wonld be well for the Southern legislatures as they
-E,s1ahl., -sius tha strongest guarantees on
ths subject. The contest between the President
ard the radicals will singular it may appear, be
desermined by the South. That is to say, if the
South s wise and throw the President all the game
1 can, he viii beat the radicals. But il, on the
other hand, the South insists on playing into the
hands Of the radicals, the victory will be with
them. The radicals will make three great points
in the campaign.

by g competent false Witnesses" that the South.

towards the freedmen.

loyal at heart and cannot be trusted with poIiti-
cal power.
