The speeches which have thus far marked
the progress of Mr. Johnsons great election
eering tour are of such character that the
Republican friends OF Congress may well re-
greet that he is not to hold forth in every civ
in the North Every time he opens his Inns he
does more to confirm the prevailing impress
sion of his despotic temper, his inflated ego
tlsm and his inscriptions demagogue's spirit
than his opponents could do in hundred di-
rect attacks. He never speaks bat he insults
the intelligence of the men of the North by
addressing them in that peculiar style OF elo-
quence which he has been accustomed to see
used SO effectively in stirring up the fierce pas
sions and strengthening the ignorant preju-
dices of that class of Southern "poor whites"
from which he is himself sprung. 1t is plain
that he has no conception Of the arguments or
the appeals by which men are influenced who
have been bred among schoolhouses, who read
the newspapers and arc accustomed to free
speech. When Mr.. johnson stands up before
an assemblage of Northern men, and tells
them that they are under the tyrant's rod,
does he think they will not remember who it
is who is doing his little utmost to establish
over them despotism by wholesale remov'
al from office Of every man, high or low, who
refuses to become his tool? He is very fond
of saying that emancipation is as much need
ed in the North as it ever was in the South
does he think the Ireemen of the North who
may listen to this kind of claptrap do not
know that it was their own intelligent con-
viction, their own resolute will which forced
the issue that has resulted in the emancipa-
ton of the Southern negro, and that they are
likely to hold themselves capable of managing
their own case as well sisa
His ExcelIency loses no occasion to compli
ment and fatter the working-men, and Is Law.
ish Of his promises to them Of aid and inf1u-
ence. 1t is plain he thinks they have no mem
or:es, that they have forgotten, or never heard
poor ignorant creatures, of his promise to be
the Moses of another class of working men
and OF the way it has been redeemed; of his
repeated pledges to the soldiers who having
fought the battle for the Union now see them
selves obliged to stand aside and give place tt
the servile creatures who are ready to do hi
dirty work. 81
But that it is humiliating to see the chic
magistrate of the matt on degrading himself il
this manner we might congratulate the rea
friends of the country, that he whose position
makes him the most powerful and dangerous
OF all the foes fpeace and Union among u
Is making SO complete an exposure of hinsel
to the clear-seeing eyes of the people. They
understand him, and his purposes, and theil
votes in the coming elections will be likely to
make that fact clear even to his selfcompla.

CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS.
THE WASHINGTON CANAL,

1t will have been noted with satisfaction by
those interested in the progress Of our city that
the spectators bill to get possession Of the
Washington Canal was defeated in the House
on Thursday, and that motion to reconsider
was laid on the table. To Mayor Wallach
who has labored so earnestly to save this VAL
liable franchise for the city, this result must
be peculiarly gratifying. The value of the
franchise is shown by the amount of money
the spectators seeking it have lavishIy wasted
for lobby purposes, in dining and wining, and
In purchasing newspaper influence in behalf
OF their scheme. We know that a party of
wealth, aware of the pecuniary advantages of
getting possession OF such monopoly, offered
to lay down S750,OOO for the franchise il his
name could be inserted in lieu of the corpora-
tors
But we must look upon the reprieye as but
temporary. The same lobby will be at work
next Congress, and it depends upon the action
of the City Councils, meantime whether we
shall have availed ourselves of the opportu
nifty given us 10 retain such a source of wealth
in our own hands by promptly making
IL what II should be. 1t must be cleaned
and narrowed; connection must be made with
the James Creek Ship Canal, by a cutting
from Virginia avenue to meet the Government
cutting which extends from the Arsenal nm
to n street. We have already pointed out the
great advantages that will eccrue to the CITY
by making this important connection with the
Potomac, by which vessels coming up the.
river can always enter the canal in any stata
OF wind or tide; whereas now they are detain-
ed below the Long Bridge in bad weather.
Full connection with the Chesapeake and
OHIO Canal must be made at once and then ve
shall begin TO realize the visions Of those who
have hoped 10 see our share of the immense
coal trade and produce trade OF upper Mary.
and and Virginia transacted at our own cana,

This done. we shall no longer subject our-
selves 10 the immense practical Joke of cayrfng
coal, iron, produce, &c, from Georgetown to
our city.
In this connection we note the gratifying fac
that the Board of directors of the Chesapeake

A HERALD MAP

During the evening session Of the Senate yes
terday, considerable curiosity was created in
the galleries by the interest taken on the fl oor
of the Senate In a New York Herald map of
the seat OF war in Europe, which was in CIR
culation amongst the members and others pre-
sent and from the bobbing of heads over the
sheet, and the ripple of lively remark that &C.
companied its progress through the room it
was thought by some that another great bat
tie had been fought with gratifying results.
1t turned out, however, that the notice given
TO the map was due TO the fact that il embraced
an exceedingly smutty hoax by the delineator
or engraver. at the expense OF the Herald. The
"Monkey Run" and .'Saltpetre Cave hoaxes
npon our neighbor Of the Chronicle were not a
circumstance to this awful sell upon the
Herald.
