NEW YOB.K. Fiss. 9, Emma.
A delegation of coloured men have visited Frui-
tiest Johnson, and urged upon him that as
the negroes were taxed they should be allowed
the right of suffrage and representation. In
reply the President declared himself to have always
been the advocate of the negro, but he believed that
the negroes in the South would not be benefited by
the enfranchisement. It would breed a war of
races. The question was one for the peo-
ple's decision, and it would be tyrannical for
him to attempt to force it upon the
people against their will. President Johnson
thought the negroes would do better to emigrate
thou remain crowded together in the South. The
delegation respectfully expressed their non-con-
cutrence in the President's views. They have
since published an address to the President contro-
verting his opinions and declaring them besides
prejudicial to the interest of the negro.
• A delegation from Montana visited the President
to express satisfaction at his policy, to whom he
replied that he intended to adhere to the doctrines
expressed in his annual message, adding that he
was not a candidate for is-election, desired no
office, and could afford to do right.
