THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

A sense of shame is the first feel
ing that every truly loyal person
must experience upon reading the
Presidents late speech.
This speech was made to crowd
that had been called together at
Growers Theatre for the purpose oil
upholding the Presidents policy
The nature of the meeting may be
inferred from the fact that but two
out of a number of speakers, had
ever shown the slightest love OF ven.
Grafton for the Union, and that one
speaker denounced, Abraham Lincoln;
loud cheers was the response. Those
composing this meeting-most OF
them Copperh eads and Southern reb.
els-adjourned to the Presidential
mansion, and called upon Mr.. John.
son for a speech. He responded.
These ore the facts in the case.
There need be no comment on the
speech some portions of it carry
with it its own condemnation, while
other portions contain its own justill-
cation.
The loyal people-that great body
that has borne willingly the burdens
Of a great war--will decide upon
his course. BY them he was elected
by them he must stand or fall.
But they are disappointed at this
speech. From a"man who occupies
the high position that President
Johnson does, statesmanlike utter
ances arc expected, unmixed with
personal abuse, low filings and egot-
ism. 1t is sickening in the extreme.
1t is with sorrow,that we say these
things, but we cannot do otherwise.
We have cordially supported the
President in his efforts to bring
about final settlement of our diff
culties, and shall continue to do so
as long as he carries out his declared
principles that he says have govern
ed his course since entering into pub
lie life. i o!f
We ask the people to read and re-
aect upon the speech calmly and dis.

WHAT OF TT

Copperheads are claiming - and
some Union men seem willing to al
low-that the President has forsaken

his present position, and gone over
to the Coppcrhead party. We do

to. But suppose he has, what of 1t 7

If he is the man that he is repre-.
sented to be by his newly hedged
Copperhead friends, the sooner he
shows his hand the better; if his
principles are such that he can aiili

and villitied him and who have fought

to have held during the war for tbs

VETO OF THE FREEDMAN's BU.
REAU DILL.

We gave the veto message of Pres
ident johnson last week, without
1t is received differently
by the loyal masses-some approve
of it, others do not. We do not in.
tend to make any extended remarks
upon the bill or the reasons why IL
was vetoed the President clearly sets
forth the latter. We wish to call at
tention to feature or two of the bill
which are Objectionable.
The main idea of the bill is emf.
nently just-to protect the Freedmen,
and to do this Congress, the Presi.
dent and Government are pledged.
Now this can be done without going
so far as to add much greater burdens
to our already heavily burdened
Government. The bill proposes to
reserve from sale public lands in the
States of Florida, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Arkansas. not
to exceed three million acres of good
land for the use of the Freedmen
and loyal refugees, to be rented to
them on such terms as can bc agreed
upon between them and a commis.
sioner, appointed for that purpose.
This is public land---thc bill viewing
it as coming within the pre-. emption
law-and should be held for sale.--
And then would it not be better to
protect the Freedmen in all their
rights where they have been reared ?
The bill also proposes to set apar.
large sums for the support of the
Freedmen. This would give entire
ly too much latitude to those of them
who were inclined to shirk-to live
on the bounty of the Government
The old bill allows az much for their
care and support as is justiiiable, and
as they have got to be sclf-sustaining
at some time, it behooves us to let
them learn it as soon as possible; and
the way to do it Is to let them under
stand that the Government, while
protecting them in their rights, will
not support them in idleness. The
wa, in measure has made their case
a national matter, and it is the na-
tons duty to make them self sup
porting. That time will be when the
rebel States are properly reconstruct.
ed, and have assumed their proper
relations to the Union. Those Freed
men who are not wholly self support
SSS %S 3e S aseS thS ihe bssssEE bssEESs Years rs
of the colored peoples lives, and
they would have to suppor. them.
We do not say these things to var
nish over any supposed difference
between Congress and the President.
The only difference is the mode. and
not as to whether Freedmen shall
receive protection from the Govern
mcnt. Congress will do right, and
Johnson we have faith to believe will
also do the same. If they do not,
there is a higher authority in the peo.
ple-to them all things can be trust.

Sumner is of the Senate, and all of
that class, including large majority

charged. The falsehood of the
charge is so great that Satan must
have bowed respectfully at its utter
ance. How will such an utterance
affect the interest of our country
The President tells us we have for
eign difficulties. Will it promote
their settlement to publish to the
world from the executive head of the
government that the great leaders
OF the party whose policy has put
down treason in one part of the coun
try, are turning traitors themselves
