WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The very few

The Position of President John
dent

a point of objection taken by Mr.. John
son, in his vet0es, and speeches, and con-
versations, is that before any great radical
changes are made, or important measures
passed, by Congress or the States affecting
the whole of the States and people. all the
States should be represented in Congress.
This he brings out, distintly, in his Col
orado veto.
Johnson's position, then, may be stated
thus:
He is for, first, admitting Southern rep
resentatives, restoring the Union, and
then acting upon important measures after
ward, when they can be consulted upon
together, by all the members of the family
to he affected by them. This is right
This is the Democratic position.
On the other hand, Congress and the
Republicans are for keeping the Southern
States out Of the Union, till the old Gov
eminent is overthrown, and new one
toggled up, to which the South shall be
forced to submit, without having been
consulted in its formation. This places
the President and Republicans in exact
hostility, square antagOnism. The Presi-
dent says, admit Southern Representatives
at once, SO that the family can all be to-
gether in consultation, then talk about
your great measures and radical changes
in the Government. The Republicans say,
exactly the reverse, viz. we desire to
change the Government first, and then
talk about admitting the South afterward
There they are. The Democrats step to
the side of Johnson; the Republicans to
the side of Congress. Where's Morton ?

Are the Negroes Free (.

This question may well be asked, III the
light of the acts and practices of the Freed
mems Bureau, as we gather them from re.
spectacle Southern Journals. it seems.
from the operations Of the agents of this
bureau, that they hare assumed the owns
ership OF the negroes Of the South and
traoe them off for consideration-using.
or rather abusing, the military power of
the Government to force them to a com.
pliance with their demands 1t seems to
have grown into regular system that those
agents should first excite difficulty between
the freedman and his employer, and then,
under the plea that the former has viol ated
his contract, send him off to other States
where the agent has contract to furnish
stipulated number Of hands at a fixed
price.
The Augusta, Ca, Chronicle declares
that these long faced hypocritical ranters
about slavery, "h:,bitually arrest negroes
about all their cities at the point of the
payonet-tear them from their families
ana oid associatiOns-and make contracts
10 send them to some distant field Of la
5or.' The same paper says that in no in
stance within its knowledge have the
Southern people attempted to control the
freedmen against their will They leave
them to work when they please, how they
please, with whom they please, and where
they please. 1t continues
BY law of the State, their status, as
free men, has been recommended and the
right to sue and be sued to plead and be
implicated, to hold and convey property
make contracts, to marry, to inherit, and
to will property, to testify in the courts
and to do all other things necessary for
their protection as freemen, have been
conferred upon them. Protection by law
has been given to the same extent as to
white people, in the enjoyment of person
and property, and they are liable to the
same extent for infractions of the law
tried by the same courts under the same
code, before the same juries, and subject
to the same punishments as whites are
