Mr.. SEWARD in his great New York speech


Mr.. SEWARD in his great New York speech
ofthe a2l Of Feoa.ry made use of the follow
language:
The Frecdm,n's Bureau i. continued by vr-
tue of the limitation prescribed in the act of
March 3, 1865, one year after such proclama-
ton shall have been made. Thus the Freed
mans Bureau would continue BY the original
Limitation until the 22d day Of FEBRUARY, 1867
"a very proper,day on which to bring it to an
end. If Congress then should find it necessa
~ to proloDg its existence, it can at once take
the necessary steps, for it will at that date
have been in session nearly three months.
Ought the President of the United States to
Ge denounced in the house Of his enemies,
much more, ought he to be denounced in the
hearts of his friends-for refusing, in the alb
seace Of any necessity. to occupy or retain and
10 exercise powers greater than those which
are exercised by any imperial magistrate in
the worhf Judge ye. ! trust this fault of
declining imperial powers too hastily rendered
by too couiiding Congress may be forgiven By
generous people. It will be sad hour for
the Republic whea the refusa; of unnecessary
powers and patronage by the President shall be
held to be q crime. When it shall be SO con.
sidcred, the time will have arrived for setting
up at the White House an imperial throne, and
surrounding the Executive with imperial lie.
