blow" and the Thugs reeled under it. Mr..
eFailaRdigham thanked the President, also for
his conversation with Governor Cox, who,
along with John Sherman, seemed to want to
Perform TIE part of "Spaulding's glue" be-
tween johnson and his enemies. AS whole,
ait.was but a. repetition If his message and
speech. Mr.. Y especially thanked him for
his signal and manly rebuke to those bitter
( and narrow minded bigots who object that
zssFcertaise men," whom they have abused, SIAN
zsdered aud injured, and therefore hate, are ap-
ssplaudi: E johnson, firing cannon and hanging
0at flags. These objcctofs arc class of men
who wouldppt, even if they could geta chance,
enter the gates of Paradise, if those certain
men" were there before them. Very well,
again. If they do not like the goodly fellow
ship of peace men, the Lord have mercy on
them, for tits written ''of such is the king

The President had said in that conversation
that he had no cause; for sorrow over the fact;
aod that the loyal men everywhere ought to
rejoice that he had hit ppon Kind Of p~cih-
cation acceptable North and South, even to
rebels and disloyal men and that the more
he got Of that support, if it were sincere, the
better he would like it. Well done and we'll
said, Andrew johnson. And but day or
he had said that some men were saying of him
that he had abandoned the party that elected
him, "sTyierized" his Administration, and
ioiHed the coppeFheads; but that he cared
nothing for that. 1t is pity, Mr.. '. said,
- that some, hsreabouts, who profess to be with
the President, are not as independent But
they will come to that by and by. Evidently
the President meant to recognize as his friends
- the men, everywhere, who were for his policy
of immediate union and paci6cation, no mat
Ter whether, in the past, they had been Abo-
litieDiStS, copperheads or ''re6els, and ne
would be totally unfit to repel the war now
w8ged against him, if be were to act Oh any
etber policy.
s@1S But it had been said by certain newspapers
of easy or rather uncertain virtue, which are
for the President three days, then for Congress
three days, and next for three days part for
- and part against both, that Johnson will soon
do or say, something which will cause Demo
Gratis to regret ever having applauded7 him for
ANYTHING. Now, Mr.. v, for himself, would
say that the President could not say or do
anything so bad that he Mr.. W would take
back " hat be had said or done over the veto Of
the Freedmen's Bureau bill, or the general
doctrines of the veto message They, at least,
would stand. He well knew, indeed, that des-
szperate efforts bad been. made to prevent rup-
ture between the hostile factions OF the Re-
publican party, and that even now politicians
and office holders were cherishing the delu-
g ding hope that the Greach could yet be healed.
= But circumstances were more powerful than
men. The differences were radical aEsd iErecon-
cilable. They grew. out of utterly different no.
q tions ofpolitics and government, and totally
different purposes as to policy. There Is, in
deed, said Mr. Y. one basis of adjustment. 1t
the Republican leaders and party Will consent
&c abandon all their plans Of consolidation and
csntrallzation, and of reducing the South TO
the condition of Hungary, Poland, Ireland,
2 and in good faith unite with the President and
the Democratic party in the immediate resto-
. ration of the Seuthern States to the Unlon,
with all their rights, and the final pacifcation
of the whole country, there will be no ''split
IN the party for we shall have but one party
: then and then I we'll know that the inter-
prefers of prophecy are right, and that the
Tnilleaium is surely to dawn IN 1855; DIR.

Mr. Y. then referred toaehe magnitude and
hazard of the conflict in which the President
was engaged, He was glad to observe that
ANDREW JohnSeH did not himself seem to un-
der-esfitnate te 1t. Every Legislature Of every |
Northern and Western State, Missouri inelu-
ded, KaS against him; so was almost every
gnyeFRor- Cox oscillating in aoubt-and so,
certainly "a part Of his Cabinet. So were
svobably two thirds of the House, and almost |
two-thiras Of the Senate. The greatsmasS Of
the Republican leaders and press Inclined the !
same way The President had only the peo
pie to rely upon, and their true voice now
could be heard only through public meeting
< and the Democratic and non-radical press.
: All mus; now speak out and at once. The
;stfussle would be a fearful~one. Fever there
xas time when patriots everywhere should
. support the Government" it was now. All
men ought to be "loyal" in this crisis. In
EepHbIieanf phrase, a little while ago., the
asFrcsftiept was the .tGesernnent," unidentified

Eve or thirty SIX States made up. the, Coy

dent was in: earnest and was imneyable,
: neither to be seduced nor to be terrified. In
the end hewouId triumph. Heshad the whole
South, With him; the. whole Democratic party,
already nearly a majority m the North and
West, and would have hundreds of thousands
~ of the Republican masses; and all these to-
gether made up two-thirds of the people Of the
whole country. He declared ambition to be
the reStorer of the Union, was the highest,
and might well satisfy tie most aspiring; only
