bound by tirmer bonds of love, respect,
and confidence, than ever
aThe above is the language of the Pres
ident of the United States, in q recent
address to delegation from several
Btates of the South. It embodies senti-
ments which are, in the highest degree,
Honorable to his heart as a man and a
patriot, and which reveal the prudence,
foresight, and superiority to partisan
servility, of the true statesman. IN
what painful contrast is the pure and
@evated spirit which hreatfes through
bis language. to that exhibited by the
Weading republican politicians OF this Jul
Micial District. President Johnson seeks
10 heal the wounds that have been made,
10 allay all feeling OF bitterness and re-
Wenge-to restore mutual confidence, and
femove all disabilities to the full eXer
else Of the privileges and enjoyment of
the happiness of American citizenship,
which have been created by the late Re-
bellion. But how mean and selfish in
contrast, the spirit and purpose OF those
bliticians who are trying, by every
means in their power, to disfranchise q
krge portion of the constituency Of this

Utilities as to render their residence here
hsafe and degrading.
'rhe motive to this unjust, nnWise, and

nlsions Of the times, from the depths Of
Insecurity to which their character con-
Mgned them, tothe surface OF society, the
polls OF Office lying scattered around
amid the ruins of disofganiZed govern
ment, soon caught their eye and stimu=
3Ated their foul greed, and like the
EoWlers for pIander and prey among

bat peace is restored and the organism
society again beginning to perform
functions, they are rendered despe-

found to yield up their dishonored

The difference OF opinion existing be-

NEW YORK, June 5.-Newbern advices
state that the result of the Judicial investi-
cations at Toronto showing that the yellow
fever there last summer, which carried off
thousands, was introduced by theintamous
DR.. Blackburn, has caused the utmost hor-
ror.
The people of the State are fast becoming
reconciled to the free labor system, and like
the change. There is strong attachment
between the master and their former slaves,
and they seek each other, making satisfac-
tory terms for labor. The universal suffrage
question eXcites great interest, the people
being divided only as to the time when the
negro should vote.
The removal of trade restrictions causes
much rejoicing, and new life has been
given business.
Newbern promises to be very healthy this
summer.
