abused as much as We expected it would be, in
the Radical newspapers. By some it is re-
eeiyed with affected indifference, BY others with
brief comments of diSapprobation, BY a few with
approval. The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says that on Christmas
day number of persons of distinction, men,

upon President johnson to congratulate him
upon his amnesty proclamation, and the aptness
of the selection OF the day for its PRONUNCIATION.
