that has incorporated iti That 10
the question to be determined" Ii
Is indeed the question, or one of the
questions, to be met, and it Is q great
question, an immense question
whose solution will have a tremen-
dous influence one way or the other
upon the future of this country as
well as upon that Of the colored race.
The President understands the negro
character well and hence the
doubts he has, whether the freed
people will prove themselves equal
to the requirements upon them in
order to their continuance in this
country as part of the free popula-
tion; whether they will work indus
triously and continuously; whether
they will practice morality and vir.
tue Themselves and respect them,
selves and others whether, in a
word, they are capable of self.gov-
ernment as portions Of a free commu-
nifty. If Mr.. johnson had not known
well what he was talking about he
never would have raised such ques-
tions as these. If he had belonged
to the ranting dogmatic school of
philanthropists, whose profound ig-
norance Of the questions they discuss
is usually the exact ratio to their
positiveness and the crudities they
enunciate, he would have grown
grandiloquent before the simple fact
of universal emancipation, as though
that accomplished, all is accom-
plished in any way connected with
the whole subject. He is your best
friend who tells you in proper spir-
it your faults. The President has
exemplified this rule. He tells tho
colored people of the country what is
necessary they should fully know
and feel, if they can know and feel
anything; what it is for their best
interests they should thoroughly and
practically understand and show
| in their conduct. He tells them that
the most important part of this lib
Grating business for them is yet to
come And SO he reiterates, as If
apprebensive that his grand controll-
ing idea should not be dauguerreo-
typed upon their brains intellectually,
the absolute necessity-in order to
their existence in this country in a
state Of freedom-that they should
govern their passions" develop
their "intellects," and apply their
Isphysical powers to the industrial in.
terests Of the country" and he de-
clares to them that |hat is the true
process by which this question can
be settled"
