coed now to speak OF the po.l cal and
memorable for scenes OF noble daring ana
heroic deeds than that on which the Ia
mented Ashby fell, and the immortal Jackson
fought and no people were more deyoted 70
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor but
since our cherished hopes proved VAIN ana
illusory, they resolved to accept the issue
with the same fortitude and good faith mat
characterized them through four years OF
bloody strife. We are "harmoniZing ra-
mildly, and If our Government were admins
tered in spirit OF justice and magnanimity
no people would surpass ours In tnelr realty
to the General Government. But no liberty
loving citizens could cordially and cheerfully
acquiesce in the proscriptiye and yindictlve
policy Of the Jacobinical faction now madly
ruling, or rather running, the nation. May the
day not be far distant when these usurpers
and fanatics will be hurled from power, and be
consigned to that inefaceable disgrace that
their conduct SO richly merits, is, am sure,
the feryent prayer of every sincere lover or
his country. Enough of this. The freedmen,
since the withdrawal of troops from this
region, having no source of supplies, have
tracts for labor, and, with few exceptions, are
profitably employed in honest labor. The re-
moval of troops, and that great sideboard
from which the indolent and disafected could
draw supplies to support their idleness, has,
unquestionably, proved beneficial TO both
happy and contented when regularly en-
ployed, and cease to be an intolerable nuisance
to society. think the present aspect Of the
unfort unate negroes here most clearly demon
strates the fact that those who are so init
mately acquainted with the peculiar character
of this race are the safest custodians OF their
interests. If lefH3menable to our laws, and
under our control, we could do far more to
ameliorate their condition than all the costly
and complicated machinery of Government I,
under the name of Freedmen's Bureau, &c
But as they are so eager for it, why, let them
solve the problem. think, however, they will
find it an intricate question. More anon.
