Governor and others, was very kind. Speeches were interchanged, not much politics in them. Mr. Seward in'a ?hort speech, emphatically pronounced l'res id. nt Johnson's aims and policy to be wise and patriotic. This is conclusive, that this very eminent man is quite separated from the extreme men of iris party. He is a conservative.
