President JOHNSON AND THE RADIcALs.-As
far as we can judge from the newspapers there
seems to be an almost universal outpouring
Of the feelings of the people in favor of Presi-
dent JoHNsos's Veto and the check he has
given to the Radical destructives. To be sure,
some of the EXTREMIST Radicals send up howl
at intervals but, like the howl of one or two
wolves, it only shows how small the party is.
There is, for instance, CHEEvER, the political,
fanatical preacher in New York, who prayed
against JOHNSON in this wise:
"If any Of our rulers should persist in their
present career Of wickedness, and should re-
fuse TO do unto others as as they would be
done by ! take them away"
It has been said that the prayers Of the
wicked shall not prevail" In his sermon, he
also alluded to the public speakers, who had
approved of the Veto, calling them liars and
hypocrites,' and said :" that if God was going
10 admit such men into Heaven, l do not
desire to go there" There is no danger of his
going there, in his present state of mind. Let
him cry out lord be merciful to me sim
ner, and then, like the thief on the cross, he
Aisy, POssiolJ, ue SaFeu uutJ VIC suppoSoj
following the example of his career on earth,
he would rather have little He'll of his own,
where he might reign without opposition
AT the time CHEEvER was raging, SEWARD
was takio1-a much wiser course, by visiting
the reaNDemocratic headquarters--the Man
haitian Club and dining with distinguished
Democrats, which may result in bringing
about better state Of feeling than has lately
existed. Indeed, the country requires such a
union of the people as will maintain the views
Of JEFFERSON, MADISON, and other distinguish
ed founders of the country. The fanatics and
destrucives must be put down, or liberty de-
stroyed. 1t is for the people to say which it
shall be.

The FENIASs.-The Fenian troubles still
continue in Ireland, and many counties and
districts are placed under martial law. A man
named George Clark was murdered by three
Fenians, on suspicion Of being an informer.
The FenaE Congress held session in Pitts
burg, which ended last week, and reports
from four British detectives, who were there
watching their movements, say, that General
Sweeney's plan is TO make demonstration
against Canada, about the middle of March,
with small force, and strike Maine and New
Brunswick with his principal columns. This
may be all so, and bring trouble on Canada,
the United States and the Fenian army but
how it can enable Ireland to throw off the
yoke and set up government of her own,
we cannot see. 1t will take a large navy and
an immense treasure to accomplish that object.

SPEECH OF Hon. A. H. STEvENs.-The
Legislature of Georgia, lately, requested the
Hon. A. II. STEVENS to address them on the
political topics of the DAY. On the 22nd of
February, he made a speech, from which the
following is an extract:
Whatever may be said of the loyalty or
disloyalty of any in the most lamentable con-
flict of arms, | think ! may venture safely to
say that there was, on the part of the great
mass of the people of Georgia, and of the en-
tire South, no dsloyalty TO the principles of
the Constitution of the United States, to that
system representative government of dele
gated and limited powers, that establishment
in new phase on this continent of all the
essentials of Engand's Magma Charta, for the
protection and security of life, liberty and
property, with the additional recognition of
the principle, as a fundamental truth, that all
political power resides in the people. With
us il was simply question as to where our
allegiance was due in the maintenance of these
principles which authority was paramount
on the last resort, State or Federal. As for
myself, ! can affirm that no sentiment Of dis
loyalty to these great principles of selfgovern-
ment recognized and embodied in the Con-
stitution of the United States, ever beat or
throbbed in breast or heart of mine. To their
maintenance my whole soul was ever enlisted
and TO this end my whole life has heretofore
been devoted, and will continue TO be the rest
of my days, God willing In devotion to these
principles yield to no man living. This
much | can say for myself May not say the
same for you, and for the great mass of the
people of Georgia, and for the great mass of
the people OF the entire South2
Wars, and civil wars especially, always
menance iberty-they seldom advance it,
while they usually end in its entire overthrow
and destruction. Ours stopped just short of
such catastrophe. Our only alternative now
is either TO give up all hopes of constitutional
liberty, or retrace our steps and to look for
its vindication and maintenance in the forums
of reason and Justice, instead of on the arena
Of arms; in the courts and halls of legislation,
instead of on the fields of battle. | am frank
and candid in setting you right here. Our
surest hopes, in my Judgment of these ends,
are in the restoration policy of the President
have little hope for liberty, little hope for
the success OF the great American experiment
Of self-gorernment, but in the success OF the
present efforts for the restoration of the States
TO their former practical relations in a com
mon government under the constitution of
the United States

CITY AND STATE NEWS.

SERESApE LAST NIGHT-Speech By Hon
r. Ridgray--It being generally known
in the city yesterday, that Hon. Robert
Ridgway. formerly editor of the Rich
mond Whig,- andiwell known as Union
man during the war, was stopping at
the MfLure House, several prominent
citizens engaged Vaas' brass band and
rendered him a serenade. 1t is under.
stood that the object of Mr.. Ridgway's
visit to this State is to procure aid for
the destitute and helpless people of his
District, and it was thought that the
serenade would afford him an apportu.
nifty of presenting the case OF his PEG
pie. After the playing Of several tunes
by the band, and the collection of large
crowd of people upon Market street in
front of the MLure House, Mr. Rldgway
was called for and spoke, about half an
hour, from the balcony.
He referred to the past and present
condition of political affairs; spoke of
his own advocacy of the Union cause
and his opposition to the heresy of Sc
csssion; said that his counsels had been
lisregarded and that the Southern
States were now reaping the fruits of
their error They have been rendered
homeless and destitute; thousands of
their brayest men have been slain, and
all that remain reduced to PERJURY He
thought that, with the Federal Govern
ment. the hour of victory should be the
hour of magnanimity. He eulogized
very eloquently the administrative pol.
icy of President Johnson and exhorted
all to rally to its support, to stand by
and encourage the Federal administra-
ton He said the people of Virginia
had honestly renewed their allegiance
to the government; that there lurked
not in any of their minds the least shad-
ow of disposition to renew the conflict;
that they would not rebel if they could
and they could not if they would. He
concluded his remarks, which were very
Observation-Disclosures with the fervent
wish that the Union of States, in all it's
prosperity and power, might be main
tained while the mountains stand and
rivers run
AS we have already stated, and as
was we'll known throug hout all of what
were once the limits of Virginia, Mr.
Ridgway was an original Union man
He opposed secession both with his
tongue and pen, and, when he found
that opposition was useless, he retired
from the editorship of the Richmond
Wig and lived aloof from participation
iu public affairs during the war. He
vas elected last fall to be a member of
Congress and can conscientiouslytake the
ugid Congressional test oath, upon which
the oath in this State is modelled. In
obedience to the dictates of Stevens
and other disunionists, the representa-
tives from Virginia, Mr.. Ridgway among
the number, are, like Maynard and
Stokes, of Tennessee, still excluded.
