President johnson has assured Mr.
Joseph Mayo, of Richmond-say the
journals of that city, on the authority OF
Mr.. Mayo himself-thAt, if he is elected
Mayor of that city in April, he will be

DEAR SIR: Yourspeech on "The Lincoln
and johnson policy of~restOratiOn" is received
and IN reply, | beg leave to return you the
compliment in the speech Of your colleague,
the Hon. 7. o. Howe, which l herewith en-
close and send you, hoping that you will

The World publishes very conspicuous
Iy a Washington dispatch, in which it
pretends to make the following quotation
from a recent telegram of the President to
some gentlemen at the East, in reply to
an inquiry: "In reference to the election
in Connecticut or elsewhere, I am for the
candidate who is for the general policy
and the specific measures promulgated in
my annual message, veto message, speech
of 22d of February, and the veto message
sent in to-day. There can be no mistake
in this, / presume. It is known, or can
be ~ascertained, what candidates favor or
oppose my policy or measures as promul-
gated to the country"
The Springfield Republican, abiding TO
the contemplate charge Of the New York
Times, that General Hawley opposes the
Presidents policy openly, in violation of
the platform laid down by the State Con
vention, states that the assumption of the
Times is false. General Hawley has ad-
hored in his public speeches and in his
paper to the platform upon which he was
and if he has not advocated
the Presidents policy, he has not opposed
it. The Times, therefore, does him an
injustice, and excites the prejudice of the
Presidents Republican friends against
him without cause. Whatever M. Haw-
ley's private opinions and feelings may
be, as Republican candidate for Governor
of Connecticut, he has scrupulously avoid
ed the controversy going on in the party
in reference to the President"
