Speech Of President johnson.

speech Vi rreSIQeuS JODnS0Ds
The speech of President johnson
to the southern delegation. to be
found in our issue of to-day, will BE-
read with more than ordinary inter-
est. The President expresses the
utmost confidence. in the southern
peorle-in their candor, dignity, and
trankness. IL know the nature of
the southern people we'll enough"
said he, "to know that when they are
convinced Of an error. they frankly
acknowledge it in . direct manner.
and know that in the performance of
duty, or indeed any act they under
take to perform. they do it free
hearted and frankly"
This is a noble tribute to the manly
qualities Of the south. and no one
knows better than the President that
every word Of it is fully deserved.
Whatever may b. the faults Of the
southern people otherwise. Of one
thing everybody ought to be assured,
and that is, they are neither cunning
nor crafty, nor in any sense deceitful,
bu, are universally open and frank.
almost to u fault. 1u his speech the
President fully acknowledges all this.
Then why not ,rus, the word of our
people! Since We abandoned the
contest for separate nationality,
We have. with our usual open frank
ness. unanimously said TO the gov
ernmcnt, "w. have given up the
contest; We will. As far AS permitted.
take the oath of allegiance and be-
come true and loyal citizens of tn.
United States This should BE- suf,
ticient, and H. duuL, is sufficient with
the President bu. there is at the
north party-a powerful and I'M
scrrpulous party. tina. is not satitied;
they wish to punish us still more,
and to strip Us Of the last particle of
( property. Through the fanatics, who
by some means have so. possession
Of the trcrdmen's bureau, they put
forth the most atrocious statements
as 10 the disposition and purpose of
the southern people. The presiden,
is we'll aware that these statements
are utterly false, and are put forth TO
deceive. Unfortunately this party
is in the majority i'll most OF the
northern sta~'s. and. in consequence.
have the power to ,rammel and
thwar' his policy.
But. thank heaven, a reaction is
going on; the enemy themselves are
split up and divided upon various
points, and no doubt will soon go to
pieces of sheer rottenness. 4 more
corrupt partv has never had an exis-
tence. and of this President johnson
! is we'll aware. He is southern man.
and knows the southern people we'll.
Then remove the troops from eur
mids:-scnd them somewhere wher.
they are more needed than they are
here
II, the troops are not .aken away
from the south nothing will be made
next year, for such is the delnorali-
cation of the negroes, growing out of
the residence among us of the color-d
troops, tina. all labor has been m.asu-
rably suspended, and by hex; year
il will be still worse. So, in rcmov-
ing the troops from tn. south. the
government will promote the interest
of every section of the Union.

WHITE HOuSE

Up to two O'Clock to-day no visitors of any
distinction had called at the White House ex-
cept Governor Pierpont, of Virginia, who was
received by the President for the purpose Of
consulting with reference to affairs in Vir-
ginia.
Quite large number Of pardon seekers
called during the day, but many of them re-
tired after reading the notice on one Of the doors
of the mansion to the effect that all pardons
in the office would be signed as soon as pos
sible.
In the morning the President devoted a por-
ton of his time to considering the applications
of parties for pardon, about one hundred and
thirty of which he granted.
The President is daily in receipt Of memorials
in behalf of JEFF. Davis A few days ago,
Judge Phillips, of Alabama, at the request of
the petitioners, presented one signed by nearly
five thousand ladies Of Georgia, and on Mon
day an anonymous communication, eight
pages long, apparently written by female,
was received, appealing for mercy for Davis
on the ground that he had rendered valuable
service to the country in various public posi-.
tons, as Cabinet officer, and fought bravely in
the Mexican war that he was no more crimi-
nal than the others who figured in the rebellion,
and who have been pardoned.
