The JOURNAL OF FREEDOM withthis num-

the fact that an Equal Rights newspaper,
properly conducted, gan be sustained in the

publication is greater than at the North,
and consequently subscription and adver-

PREsIDENT JoHxsox,s SPEECH

In u issue to-day will be found Presi-
dent johnson address to a colored regi-
ment. 1t will prove a stumbling-block
to many of the would-be "Union men,
OF the South who have endorsed his poll
cy, thinking that he entertained pro-
slavery views and would act pro-south-
ernly. Instead of that, however, we
find that he addresses a crowd of colored
men,, calling them "fellow-citlzens,:'
and assures them that the United States
government is not exclusively for the
benefit of white men, but that the United
States is their country and in it they will
be protected. They are not to be Danish
ed from it, nor oppressed within it
They their places as "socialintegers, -
in a system that is thoroughly democratic,
under institutions which accord 10 every
man the highest and best opportunities, as
members of a national family in which
neither wealth, birth nor color is the
basis OF advancement, bat where every
man is measured by merit. Impressing
upon them these views, he advises them
to go home resolved by the manner in
which they shall advance the Industries
and increase the resources of the coun-
try, to prove themselves entitled to it's
best rewards.
President johnson is an honest man
and loves republican principles, and it is
surprising to hear such words from
lis lips, particularly after the assurance
have lately had that if he was a pri-
citizen in Tennessee, he would adj
1ocate negro suffrage on a basis of mill
airy service and intelligence.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND MANHOOD


In his speech at Milwaukee the other
day Senator Doolittle said that in a recent
conversation with President johnson, the
latter declared to him his wish that the
right OF suffrage might be extended to
sucn colered citizens OF the South as have
performed military service, and to such as
nave for a. long time been heads of fan1i-
lies and supported them by their own in
dustFy, ane who have demonstrated clearly
their intellectual fitness to exercise Nhe
right.
The above paragraph is floating about in
the sea of newspaperdom, and we have
not seen it c~ontradicted. We give it for
what it is worth, sincerely hoping it to be
true. VIZ know that at one time Presi.
dent JOHNSON expressed regret, that during
his reign as military Governor in Tennes-
see, he had'not inaugurated a limited sys.

WHAT'S REQUIRED OF THE SOUTH Judge
w. M. Byrd of Alabama, has just returned
from Washington, where he had an inter
view with President johnson. In a let
ter to the Mobile Mews he tells the people
of his State what is expected of them.
He scvs:
Fro:i what I heard at Washington,
and from I'll sources, / will state that it
IS expected of the Sonth that she will:
lst. Declare the African race free by
the organic law of each State.
I'd. That each State will secure and
guarantee by her Constitution civil rights
to the freedmen political rights; such as
suffrage, sitting on juries, &c. are not
expected to be conferred on them at this
time these are matters to be left to the
discretion of the several States.
But the freedom of the African race
and the guaranty of their civil rights are
prerequisites to the reconstruction of
State governments and their readmission
to the Union.
The question, then, is narrowed down
to this: Will we make a constitutional
declaration of the freedom of the African
race and a guaranty of their civil rights,
or remain acknowledgements a military
government 2,
There is plain alternative, plainly
put, IN the concluding paragraph of the
Judges letter. He says that the negroes
must be protected in the courts or mill
tary rule will be indefinitely prolonged
in the South.

THE PROGRESS OF FREEDom

Provisional Governor SHAkKEY, of Mis-.
sissippi, has issued a proclamation. which
recognizes the natural sequence of the
abolition of slavery in his State, and is
In accordance with the views expressed
in the following extract from a letter oil
his to Col. THOMAS, Chief of the Freed
mems Bureaus in that District:
81 have no hesitation in stating to you
that, as a necessary result from the &C.
-tlon OF the convention, in my OPTION
the freedmen can now sue and be sized in
any court in the State and, as an Incl
dent to their right to protection Of per-
son and property, which, are fully guar
anteed by the amended consultation, that
they are competent to testify in any court
of justice. Their rights, I think, are
fully established by the convention which
abolishes the whole system"
The logic of the GEernor 5 letter is
most assuredly sound! The abrosation
of any. social SYSTEM should carry wit
it into oblivion alb the laws which may
have been enactefto sustain it. Slavery
was abolished atthe request of a MAORI
ty of the people of the United States,
which majority considered it a great evil,
and their will is not fully obeyed unless
the adjuncts of the evil are swept away
with it. To proclaim that my class OF
men are free, merely because they are
no longer considered as property, but are
held under legal surveillance the same as
when they were treated as chattles, is,
IN our opinion, the PRONUNCIATION of a
lie. Gov. Sharkey evidently thinks the
same, and many other of the reasoning
of the South would be includ-
I'D in che category with him if they had
moral courage to publicly announce
heir opinions.
Among the few who have been honest
enough to publish their true sentiments
N this question is Judge Cooper, of Tex 8

In his charge to the Jury, :

CHINESE CHURcH.-There is a new tenn
pie, or booth, or shanty of public pagan
worship on Sacramento street, above Du-
pont, San Francisco. In a small court of
a narrow alley which leads to the door Of
the establishment, stands a gigantic image
arrayed in robes of silk, adorned with
glittering bands of tinsel and cord, and
scowling down the alley frightfully enough
to scare any common minded pagan from
the road to heaven, even if he should see
no other objection to travelling it. But
white men do not recognize his authority,
and so it is necessary to place ut the door
an American with q cane and a sore
throat, and who sings out to every white
person who enters the alley, "None but
Cinnamon allowed up here" 1t is q
strange commentary on Christianity that,
after several hundred years of missionary
effort expended upon Pagan China, the
people of that country should come here,
erect their idol temples under the very
eyes of our own churches, and have men

doors and singing out, "None but China

SrARTLINa,-The facetious local of an
Iowa paper gets off the following good
thing:
The other night while we lay musing,
and our weary brain confusing DER the
topics of the day, suddenly we heard a
rafting, as of serried hosts a-battling, as
they mingled in the fray. " What is
that >" we cried, upstarting, and into the
darkness darting, slap we ran against the
door. "Oh, tits nothing" Edward
grumbled, as DER a huge arm chair we
stumbled = "'tis a bug, and nothing
more" Then said we, u anger ris-
ing, (for we thought 1t so surprising that
a bug should thus ofend,) "Do you think
a small insect, sir, thus would all the air
infect, sir: No, It's not a bug, my friend"
Now becoming sorely frightened, round
our waist our pants we frightened, and put
on our coat and hat-when, into the dark
ness peering, saw, with trembling and
much fearing, the glazing eyes OF THOMAS
CAT, ESQ. With astonishment and Won
der we gazed upon this son of thunder, as
he sat upon the hoor-when a resolution
taking and a rapid movement making, 10
we opened wide the door. "Now clear
uut!" we hoarsely shouted, as o'erhead
our boots we iouted. "Take your pres
ence from my floor" Then with air and
mien majestic. this dear creature, called
domestic, made his exit through the door.
Made his exit without growing, neither
was his voice heard bowling, not a single
word he said. And with feelings much
elated to escape a doom so fated, slowly
we went back to bed" I. .

NORFOLK Theodore Winters, owner
of Norfolk, contemplates taking him East
this Winter to acclimate and rest him up,
preparatory to the Spring races. He will
run him against either Asteroid or Ken
lucky, for $40, 900 a side, four mile heats,
or will run him in a three-handed sweep
stake for $4,000 on each horse. And,
in our opinion, he will win every race for
which he may now start him. Should
Norfolk be taken East, he will be brought
back here for breeding purposes in 1867,
as he was purchased expressly for the i'm
provement of stock in California and Ne
vada.
