The Presidential party left Philadelphia yesterday ‘morning, reociving appropriate and enthusiastic demon- Strations at Burlington, Bordentéwn, Trenton, New ‘Brunswick, Rahway and Newark. At Trenton the Prosident, in returning thanks to the crowd who sur. founded the train, said that the compliment was the ‘more to be appreciated as it camo from the residents of ‘@city surrounded with such historic associations. His ‘efforts had been and would still be directed to- fully restoring the Union for which our fathers fouht and bled. Mr. Seward then intro- @uced General Grant and Admiral Farragut, who wore Weceived with hearty cheers. Mr. Seward said:—‘‘The Prosident has done his whole duty, and it is with the People now t» do theirs.”” At Jersey City the party waa met by the Citizens’ Com- ites of Now York and escorted on board the steamer iden. Tho government and forcign vessels in the North ver were lavishly decorated with bunting, and the guns the forts on Governor's Island thundered forth the ¢ enthusiastic demonstrations of the immense crowd people assembled. The route led up to the City Halt, here the distinguished visitors alighted and were ered into the Governor's Room. An address of wet me was then read by Mayor Hoflman. He said © present popular demonstration was a tribute Offered by the people to the ability, fidelity and Patriotism which had characterized Mr. Johnson's admin- Astration of the government. He then prosented the engrossed copy of the Tesolutfons of the City Council offering the freedom aud hospitalities of the city to tue President of the United States. | President Johnson returned thanks for the wolcome, ‘and said that such @ reception, coming as it does from Ye great metropolis of the Union, encouraged bin to go forward in tho discharge of his duty. And what he had done or altempted to do, that was before tho people for them to etormine. Secretary Seward said, in answor to a cali, that he know “the people would give at the polls a cer- Pifeste that tho Union consists of thirty-six and mot twenty-five States.” The party entered carriages again efter the coremonies in the Governor's Room, and the procession continued up Broadway to Twenty-third Bireot, thence to Fifth avenue aud down ta Detmonico’s, ‘@t Fourteenth street, Here the mifitary Med by in Teview, the President taking his stand ove temporary Pint’orm in frout of the hotel Alter the review the immense multitade @waying to ‘Bnd [ro swept the police away, and, crowding around the Platform, became clomorous with their cheering and Vociferations, The President, when quiet was restored, delivered asneech to them in which he said:—'You {the poople) have made the great npecch of this ceca sion, It isa better speech than T can make.

The trip of President Johnson and his official cortége from Washington through the great Central and Western States, is dosiined to become an event as important as it ia re- markable in the political history of this coua- try. It is cortainly the most remarkable Presidental tour we have had since the time of Washington, in regard to the distin- guished men of this travelling party; and, next to the trip of Abraham Lincoln, as President elect, from Springfield, Mlinois, to Washington, wo think it will prove the most important in its great resulta towards the maintenance and perpetuation of the Union. First, of this official party is Andrew John- son himself, the fearless patrict, who, when all his Southern associates in Congress had joined the conspiracy for the overthrow of the govern- ment, was found steadfast to his trust, and, like Abdiel, faithful fount Among tho (aithloss, faithful ouly he A patriot who, since his call to the Presidency, has been as magnanimous and sagacious in behalf of restoration and reconciliation be- tween the North and South as he was before resolute and vigorous in the work of suppress- ing the rebellion, Next, there is our great wmilitaty chieftain, General Grant, who will rank through all time as mot the jeast among the half-dozen of the greatest soldiers which the world ever produced—the champion of the Union, who demolished the rebel armics of Jeff Davis; and next there is the old fire king of the bine jackets or salamander, Admiral Farragut, who stands, admitted by such high British authority as the Edinburg Review, without a pecr in his naval exploits except the hero of the Nile and Trafalgar. In these three men, Johnson, Grant and Farragut, we have the embodiment of those admirable qualities of administration and skill, daring and genius in the war, on land and water, to which we owe so much for the salvation of the country that the debt never can be paid; and yet there are still others in the President's train whose services in the good cause will ever bo gratefully remembered. * The Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, who accompanies the President, whose task it was during the war to keep England and France out of our domestic quarrel, and who succeeded in it, is not a man whose claims cau be over- looked, whatever may be thought of some of his diplomatic concessions and poatponementa. He will be most distinguished, however, in his- tory as the grent Northern apostle of “the irre- pressible conflict” for the abolition of slavery, and as the author, under Presidont Johnson an his policy, of that memorable production from the Stete Departmont declaring the great amendment forever abokshing and interdicting slavery throughout the United States as part and parcel of the supreme law of the land. Then there is Secretary Welles, whose final snmming up of the services of his department in the war forms a defence in his behalf so brilliant that we can overlook bis occasional shortcomings. Last of this eminent official | group is the new Postmaster General Randall, | & man whose administrative abilities are no more questioned than his Union record of the + a and thus surrounded by the living wit- snes and associates of his fidelity to the coun- try, Andrew Johnson, as our Chief Magistrate, goes forth among the people. The radicals hold him up in affected derision as@ draskerd, ® demagogne, a renegade, a faithlcas traitor, aa “President by the grace of Wilkes Booth;” in short, they can find no terms { of villification sufficiently venomous to ox- press their rage and hatred; but what will all this abuse avail them in the presence of Andrew Johnson and this powerful array of counsel at his side? Radical will only react against itself. President Johnson might, however, dispense with all his distinguished companions, so far as their presence affects the vindication of his policy; for in hig ready, off- hand, familiar and convincing speeches, he is host in himself. He shrinks not from the task of defending his course before the coun- try, but rather delights in it. Nor is he the man to stand entirely on the defensive when the provocation and the opportunity invite a telling blow at his adversaries. In defending Rome he adopts the policy of Scipio, of carry- ing the war into Africa. He speaks freely be- cause he believes he is right and that the pre- vailing public sentiment of the North is on his side; and so far his receptions by the people prove that he is indeed master of the situation. We cannot, therefore, avoid the conclusion that the grand result of this Presidential tour will be a political revolution in our coming fall elections from New York to Mlinois. The great body of our Northern people wish to see the Union practically restored, the South rein- stated in Congress, peace, harmony and trade re-established between the two sections and the divisions and animosities of the late dread- ful war put out of sight as fur as possible, This is the policy of President Johnson. Its very statement is sufficient for his vindication; but in opposition to the despotic and destructive schemes of the radicals as presented by himself he will, from present indications, carry every- thing before him. He appeals from the radical Congress to a conservative people; and we verily believe that the coming October and November State elections will mark the begin. ning of the end of the radical faction—their short-lived reign of misrule, folly and fanati- cism. Dangerous Language of the Radical Press— Caution to the President. The Tribune and other radical Jacobin journals are so exasperated at the President;that they do not hesitate to use the moat violent, threaten- ing and dangerous language. They endeavor to influence the passions of the unthinking and wicked partisans of their faction by calling him “ traitor” and other vile names, They re-echo the infamous sentiments uttered by Stevens, Wade, and other leaders in Congress, the former of whom pointed to the fate of Charles the First as a warning to him, intimating that his life might also be taken by those he dared to defy. All this arises from revenge and the basest ‘motives, His whole his- tory is an ample and a standing refuta- tion of their base charges and gross epithels. His patriotiom is as unimpeachable as wae that of Washington himself. Who can put his flager on one unpatriotic act of Andrew Johnson's long public career? Noone. Yet he is denounced a6 © traitor by the radical leaders and radical press. It is his very patriotism—his endeavor to restoré the gountry to peace and harmony— that arouses the Tin- dictiveness of a disuppointed faction. With the broad views of a statesman and in the humane spirit of Christianity he labors to heal the wounds caused by our terrible civil war, while the faction which denounces him would perpetuate discord and destroy the country for its own base partisan purposes, This, and this only, is the sum of his offence and the cause of radical abuse. We call attention to these facts just now because the spontaneous outburst of popular sentiment with which the President has been received on his journey to Chicago has in- tensified the hatred of his enemies and the enemies of the country, and because there is danger in the devilish spirit of animosity manifested toward him. History affords numerous examples of the fearful consequences of violent party feeling. Religious fanaticism bas produced its victims fn all ages; but political fanaticism, or the spirit of faction, which is the same thing, has probably been more intolerant and cruel. Without going into « recapiiulation of all the historical facts bearing upon this subject, we may advert to the great French Revolution as eminently illustrative. The unprece- dented horrors of ‘that period arose from a difference of political views, in- tensifled by faction. For an abstract idea— that, too, when fhere was liitle real dif- ference—and from ambition and love of power, human life was sacrificed with as littk concern as butchors slaughter animals. Such periods produce a state of dreadful demoralization. Crimea unheard of at other times are com- mitted. A sortof mania seizes the minds of weak and desperate mon. We bave a striking example of this in the murder of the good President Lincoln. He was denounced in the South as a monster, and rewards were offered in the Bouthern States for his assassination. Cortain desperate individuals on this side, who sympathized with the rebel canse, worked themselves up to a state of mania on this assassination idea. The minds of Wilkes Booth and his associate criminals were so imbued by it that they could not resist the impulse to murder even though the death of the President could only do harm to the cause they had es- poused. Such was the fascination of crime —it we may use such a term—over the weak minds of those who were governed by faction and the inflammatory language of the factionisis. The proprietor of the Heratn was denounced in a similar manner in which Prosi- dent Lincoln was and President Johnson is, for advocating a vigorous prosecution of the war. The North American Reviewo has stated in one of its articles that the violent anti-war party in 1862 talked of taking bis life. We read in ancient history thas Erostratus, from a similar mania, fired the temple of Diana at Ephesus. Numerous instances of a like character could be quoted to show the dangers of such a vio- lent and unserupulons party as our radicals show themselves to be, The moral necessarily to be drawn from this is that the President and the friends who sur round him ought to be careful toavoid possible donger on their journey from men who might be stimulated to violence by the inflammatory language of the radical press and leaders. Those who use that language may not contemplate any criminal purpose themselves, but it is calculated to operate upon weak minds, Such gross and denunciatory language never fails to find a lodgment in the minds of & cortain class of weak people who make them- selves the instruments of faction or political fanaticlom.
