Along the route the 'y was continually cheered by crowds of people who assembled at that early hour to obtain another view the distinguished guests.

Norcan there be a shorter way to a perfect Union of the North and South than in such a reunion of their sol- diers of the late war as this we have suggested for the Cleveland Convention. Why should there be any trepidation or shrinking from the test, when we see from the President’s receptions from point to point along his present journey, that his policy has the con- fidence of the Northern people? Amnesty, par- don, reconciliation, restoration, union, har- mony—“to this complexion we must come at last;” and as Southern restoration is now the popular Northern cry, we cannot too soon begin the good work of reconciliation and fraternity between the late fighting elements of the North and South. Let them be reconciled, and we may consider the task of a restoration of the Union substantially accomplished; and they can be reconciled while our trading politicians are still wrangling over the spoils. heavy. is MISCELLANEOUS.

It is a system which the radi- cals have- adopted to inflame the minds of their ignorant followers, and willi yet result im making some weak-minded and half crasy zealot believe that it is his mission to assassi- nate President Johnson. This is the tendency of all this kind of talk, and in it:we see great cause for alarm. It is on account of this dia- bolical spivit existing among the-radicals that we have advised the President of the danger, and those accompanying him on: his tour to be watchful. But alli this rage proves that the radi- cals are near. the end of their rope. Ne party that indulges in such wholesale abuse and vilification cam long prosper.in this country. Violent language ruined the party which opposed Jackson, and we all know that the South was the most abusive and exhibited the greatest bitterness just before- the coliapse of the rebetlion, It has always been a proof of the fact that the party indulging in such language is in a desperate condition, and such events will shew is the case with the radicals.

Napoleon had better understand atonce that this is a very different country from: Italy, and that this people ere not disposed to be trified with en this subject. CITY INTELLIGENCE, The Representatives of the Press, Reaf and Counterfeit. usually early in this city, Defendant denies any knowledge of its | platform of the late Philadelphia Convention. They say in their call that they seek no political association with men “who are not avowedly and sincerely faithful to the constitu- tional principles for which we fought;” that “if men who have taught or practised treason now openly renounce their errors, and main- tain with us the true principles of our govern- ment, we shall not reject their co-operation;” that in the present posture of affairs “we must prefer to act with those who have been wrong and are now right, rather than with those who were right and are now wrong.” Here we have the President's Union policy carried to the essential point of reconciliation and fraternal harmony between the late antago- nistic elements of the two sections. Why, then, can there not be at this Cleveland Con- vention a friendly commingling of the soldiers and sailors from both sides in the late war, in support of the Philadelphia Johnson Union platform? At that Convention there were some five hun- dred Southern delegates present, including many of the leading civilians identified with the rebellion, Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the so-called Confederate States, being among the number. If Northern and Southern politicians, on the same broad and acceptable Union platform, could fraternize at Philadelphia, why cannot Union and late rebel soldiers end sailors, striking hands on the same policy, meet together as reconcil brethren in the approaching convention “at Cleveland ? Fa The call for this assemblage clearly invites a reunion of this kind, although we believe thi shy Washington meeting originating ihe movement @ specific motion to invite ex- rebel soldiers and hess. Yond down. Surely this is not mt with the Presi- dent’s restoration policy; for in many cases his recognition of State and municipal officers in the South has been extended to men who could only be BS a & pardon for their odmiplicity Ww Hellion. We satisfied, too, éXeepting such wanderiag titer as General Breckinridge, General Price, General Magruder, and the fearfully punished General Early, that the military leaders and soldiers genetally of the late rebellion are per- fectly honest in their submission to the for- tunes of war, and that they may be trusted in their professions of loyalty to the Union. Why, then, should they be excluded from this proposed gathering of Union soldiers and sailors in support of the President’s policy? This question touches the pith of the whole matter. Do what we may, there can be no restoration of the Union, in the true sense of the term, while this dividing line between rebels and Union men continues the barrier which Northern men are afraid to cross. This important truth was recognized in the late Philadelphia Convention, in which Governor Ort, late a member of the rebel Congress at Richmond, with the South Carolina delegation, walked arm in arm with the delegates from Massachusetts. It was @ reunion which said, more emphatically than any words could ex- Press it that, the rebellion being put down, | vengeance is at an end; that South Carolina and Massachusetts are again under “the old flag ;"’ and that even a member from the rebel Congress, in returning from the error of his was moved by this spontaneous mark of appro- bation of his public services and policy. He felt that New York expressed the popular senti- ment of the mass of the people from one end of the country to the other on the great ques- tion of the day—the early restoration to fra- ternity of all the States and people of the Union. We need not refer to-the general events of the day, for, as we have said, these have been published; but his addresses to our citizens, and especially at the banquet given to him in the evening, demand special notice. The President, as he remarked himself, speaks spontaneously—speaks from the heart and on the spur of the moment. Fastidious writers may raise some objections to the construction of his language; but that is a trifling matter compared with the ideas expressed, the broad and exalted statesmanship of his views, the earnestness and sincerity of’ his purpose and the terse eloquence of his words. Eta speeches were concentrated upon the living issues of the day. He was impressed,4ll along with the necessity of making these. fini, so that every one would understand “them, and that “they should not be covered up by side issues or mere rhetorical P6urishes. ‘That is the charac- ter of Mr. Sobfson’s eloquence, and that, in fact, is the trys floquence of a great statesman, No hetles%ést of this could be found than in . nthusiasm, repeated cheers and interrup- tions with which his remarks were received. But there are many passages in his speeches which have hardly ever been equalled by the orators of any age. As an example we may quote his words when speaking of the certain restoration of the South. He observed:—‘{ have said before, and repeat it here, that re- sistance to the restoration of the Union will be as unavailing as if 9 map should updertake to chain the waves or txt the at 5 of the ocean. You might as well undertake to turn the Mississippi from its source as to resist the great law of gravitation which is bringing these States together.” We might recite other pas- focat.ay Ws cits as well as the states- manship ol i. AS Forth Tanguage, But the main thing is the substance or object of the speeches—that in reality whic the President was most intent upon—the vital issue before the country between his conservative restoration policy and the de- structive disunion policy of a radical Con- greas. The banquet at Delmonico’s was at- tended by a class of highly intellectual and practical men, and their reiterated applause when the President was addressing them shows the power of his language. The same may be said of his speeches in the open air to the crowds of other classes. He has the extraor- dinary power of touching the popular heart of every class, The speech of Secretary Seward at the ban- quet was also very appropriate and well-timed. Mr. Seward was evidently inspired by the occa- sion and influences that surrounded him. The spirit of former times at political dinners seemed to be revived. He was young again. Wit, humor, political allusions and hits and more serious views of public affairs were blended in a happy manner. His remarks upon the Mayor and other city authorities of Philadelphia for their contemptible conduct in not giving the President an official reception ways, and in proving his loyalty by his good works, is entitled to the fellowship and _ dence of all generous Northern Union men. were capital and created much laughter and applause.

The Speculations ai Dean Richm The discussion in regard to the successor of poor Dean Richmond as the conservative political manager in this State still actively continues, Among the politicians it creates ake h interest and excitement as the cat fr ws df ihe President among the people at large. Recent developments have further complicated the already difficult question and bave involved Thurlow Weed in the muddle. Mr. Weed—-who always travels by night to save time and smokes a long nine after breakfast to promote digestion and re- fiection—has slipped away to the western part of the State upon some important business; and although he is expected back again by every night train nobody seems to know whither he has gone or for what purpose.
