POLITICAL MEETINGS..
Andrew johnson himself will hardly do
more toward convincing you, In Chicago, Of
the utter Wickedncss and atso-ity of the
policy for which he is battling so vigorously,
than Ills beloved lieutenant, Montgomery
Blair, acco1nplishes in the same direction
here in New England, He made speech In
fremont Temple night before last, before IN
audlcucc Of Lear three Thousand pco-
pie, for there Is deep interest
in matters political here just now, and
great crowds are drawn together by any dis.
eussloa Of public affairs, whoever. may be
doubt It he made one convert 10 the doc
ttfnc which he advocated, aud If any were
in doubt he surely must have driven them
clear over into the right side BY torce Of re-.
rulsion.
In the fsst place, Mr. Hlatr'a manner was
vesy cold, dry and snsinccse, and Dostoa r,co,
pic, being used to good oratory, doubted
whether he believed what he said, and were
reluctant 10 submit to such prolonged bor-
Ing. Then what he said was pure wicked
ness. not glesse4 over by any OF the
sorh!sms Y it'll which the ScwarIs and Doc.
Titles c|osk tteir advocacy Of rebel titco-
rics. IL defended Stephens and Lee as the
only true representative men Of tile
South, aud exhausted the vocabulary of

The loyaliets OF the South, such as Bolts and
Holt, tht ngA somehow he omit! ted to mentit n

course in logical sequence this should entitlc

gest this inference. lie had tho audacity to
defend the New Orleans riots, not only the
action Of the Ptcsidcnt In f11Ieutiue them.
but The deeds OF the rioters themselves, and
iusulted his listeners BY saying that Boston
you'd have done the SANG as the Thugs II
And finally he did not hesitate TO utter tbe
threat which the moro discreet Of his com.
rades IN the johnson party layc ouly hinteu
at, that the President would in December re-.
cpgnizc the Southern Representatives rs the
tr1e Congress, and d!spcrsc the delegates Of
the loyal people at the point Of the bay o,.ct.
