THADDEC~ STEVENS made a speech
in the Rump Congress, on Saturday last,
in which he referred to President John
sons late speech in the most cutting
irony, declaring with the most awful
gravity, that the President had never
made any such speech, and that it was
cunning trick of the "Copperhead"
party, who were trying to impose that
speech upon the public and to make
people believe that the President was
given to loose and maudlin practices
This statement was received with roars
ofIaughter, and Thaddaus seemed great
ly delighted with this his last perform
ance as clown to the Congressional Dis
union circus. The difference between
Stevens joking and that of the Presi-
dent, is: the former gets his up for stage
effect, whilst the latter makes his terri
bly, practical, as Thaddeus will soon find
out to his cost.

Another Veto.

Gov. Curtin has vetoed the Philadel-

as we'll as fixed in his will, he unites in
his character the seemingly opposite
qua tiles of demagogue and autocrat, and
converts the Presidential chair into
stump or throne, according as the i'm
pulse se.zes him to cajole or to COM
mand. Doubtless, much Of the evil de-
veloped in him is due to the misfortune
in having been lifted by events to a
position which he lacked the elevation
and breadth of intelligence adequately
to ell. He was cur d with the possess
sion of a power aid authority which no
man Of narrow mind, bitter prejudices,
and inordinate selfestimation can ex>
ercise without depraving himself as we'll
as injuring the nation. Egotistic to the
point of mental disease, he resented the
direct and manly opposition of statesmen
to his opinions and moods as personal
affront, and descended to the last degree
of littleness in political leader--that o.

will amid the most palpable inconsistent
cies of opinion, so that Inconsistency to
principle shall not weaken force of pur
pose, nor the emphasis be at all abated
with which they may bless o-day what
yesterday they cursed. Thus the abb
horror of traitors has now become their
tool. Thus the denouucer of copper
heads has nov sunk into dependence on
their support. Thus the imposer of
conditions of reconstruction has 10 be-
come the foremost friend Of the uncon>

Thus the furious Union Republican,

than usually active at the present time !;
and the gravity of their speech is as
edirying as it's emptiness. Immersed in
words, aud with no clear conception of

servatism. Their pet horror is the term
"radical"; their idea of heroic patriot
ism, the spectacle Of great nation
which allows itself to be ruined with de-
corum, and dies rather than commit the
slightest breach of constitutional ETH
quette. This insensibility to facts, and
blindness to the tendency of events, they
call wisdom and moderation. Behind
these political dummies are the rea

Land for Freedmen. of tho
Southern men are opposed to selling land
to the freedmen. We believe they will
change their minds before long. The
quickest way to produce this change is to
show the money in hand to buy with.
Let none expect to buy much land until
they are able to pay for it.
But we are happy to say that there is
land in the South which ill Be sixen ~
all loyal settlers, whether white or black.
Our readers may not ali know that the
Government owns many million acres of
land in the unsettled portions of the
country. Some Of this land lies in the
Southern States. In Arkansas, there
are nine million acres in Alabama, six
millions; in Florida, nineteen millions
in Louisiana, six millions; in Mississippi,
four Millions
Now, it is for the interest of the ma
ton that its whole territory should be
settled. Hence Government gives away
homesteads to those who will 90 and oc.
cupy them, and make them permanent
homes. 1t requires hard work in many
cases; and many families should, if pos
sible, go together, so as to help each
other, and have schools and churches to.
gether.
According to recent law of Cons
gress, no more public lands in the South
will be sold until next January; but
they will be given away to loyal men who
will 60 and settle OF them.
1t is estimated that $4,000 home
steads could be had in this way if they
are wanted. We hope that the freedmen
will have their share. But let nothing
be done rashly Those who are well
supplied with work, and fairly paid,
should not wander off without very
definite plan, and prospect of success.
