A "Freeamen's Bureau"

The minority of the Committee of the
House of Representatives, appointed to
consider this subject, have made report
from which we extract this sensible and
fOrcible passage OF course, however, the
Bureau will be established, and white
men will be taxed to support it. Congress,
since its opening, has legislated almost ex
clusively for the negro, and as this meas
ure is solely for their benefit and the Ad-
miniStration recommended it, its passage
may be regarded as certain. rne 0emo-
cratic members, to man, are opposed to
it, but unfortunately they are powerless,
and their opposition makes the majority
more determined to pass it. Read this
extract, white men, you who are oppres.

Your committee are of opinion that
Congress has no legal power to carry into
effect all the provisions Of the contemplate

assuming the power, and forced con-
struction placed upon the plain letter of
the Constitution to sanction the act. But

No one would, for a moment, suppose that
it would receive the serious consideration
OF any Congress; yet equally strong claims,
upon the score Of humanity and ohilan-

OFFICE HOLDERS. Prentice, of the Louis,

Office Holders" The description is strict
ly truthful, and proves that Prentice is a
careful observer Of the acts and dongs Of
men now in power:
We don't know of more loathsome
and disgusting animal, two.legged or four
legged, than Abolition Office holders. -
They are always seeking to earn their
wages, not by attending to the duties of
offices, which they generally manage to
make >inrcureS, but by playing upon all
occasions the part of fierce and malignant
political brnwlrrs. They think there is
but one God. Abolitionism, and that prof
it is his prophet. All their patriotism is
in their pockets and bellies. Their creed
is nothing but greed.
