U4PORTA2T SPEECH PROM PRESI DENT JOHNSON. Plain Talk about the Radicals. Wabhlnoton, Feb. 22.—The National Monument Society held a meeting today—Preaidant Johnson presidtd and made a few remarks, alluding to Wash ington’s fsrewell address, as containing the principles by which he sought to be guided, and expressing the hope that all tbe States would continue their contri butions to the structure, to be completed, as an en during monument to the restoration of all the States to their proper relations to the Goverment. 1 Bay, that when these States comply with tbe Con stitution, when they have given sufficient evidence of their loyalty, and that they can be trusted when they yield obedience to the law. I say, extend to them the right hand of felfowibip, and let peace and union be restored. I have fought traitors and treason in Hie South; I opposed the Davises and Toombs, and the Hlidells and a long list of others whose names I need not repeat, and now when 1 torn round at the other and of the line. I care not by what name you call them, (a voice, “call them traitors, ’’) who still stand opposed to the restoration of the Union of these States, and I am free to aay to you that I am still for the preservation of this compact. I am still for the restonion of this Union; 1 am still in favor of this great government of ours, living "and following out its destiny-^(a voice, “give us the names,”) a gen tleman calls for their names. I suppose 1 shall give them. (A voice, “We know them.’’) I look upon them, I repeat it, as President or citizen, as much opposed to the fundamental principles ot this government, and believe they are as much laboring to destroy them as were the men who fought against them—(A voice, “what are their names 7”) 1 say Thaddcue Stevens of Pennsylvania.

(Laugh ter aud applause.] I stand for my country. I stand for the Constitution, where I placed my feet from en trance Into public life. They may traduce me, they may alander, they may vituperate, but let me aay to you, that it has no effect upon me. [Cheers.] Let me say in addition, that I do not intend to be bullied by enemies. [Applause, and a cry, the people will sustain you.] I know my countrymen it has been inaiuuated, but not said directly. The intonation has been combined, I care not of what obaraeter, cannot destroy tomt great toatrument, the great charter of freedom. They may seem to succeed for a tone, but their at- tsmpta will be futile. They may think now that it can be done by a concurrent resolution, but when it is submitted to the popular judgment ■od the popular will, they will find that they mighf as well undertake to introduce a reeo- lutlon to repeal the lows of gravity, aa to keep tide Union from being restored. It is just about as feasible to arrest the great laws of gravi tation, --which binds all to s' common • centre, • as that great law which will bring back those States to their regular relations with the i'-t‘1 have detained you longer than I intended [a voice, “goon”].

Great Uprising No. 3. Tbe enthusiastic demonstrations of approval of the President’s veto of tha Fr.-edmeU’s Bureau Bill throughout the North are as surprising and unlooked for by ua here as they are clicet ing and gratifying.
