On the Stump Again.

President Johnson omits no oppor-
tunity to make a speech to defend
"my policy" One day last week he
was waited on by body of soldiers
and sailors, who as matter Of course,
were treated to one of his characters
tic harangues. The speech, it should
be stated, is a little more moderate in
tone than his recent previous efforts,
but in other respects it differs little
He assumes n defiant attitude toward
those whom he calls "slanderers, ca
lumniators, and traducers, and says,
II care not for their SANDER and the
foul whelps of sin that have been
turned against me- If he "cares not,
why so frequent allusion to them ?
Why does he drag them into every
speech which he makes? And who
are those whom he designates 'foul
whelps of sin p The Republican mem
bers Of Congress who feel it TO be
their duty to stand by the policy OF
reconstruction which he himself laid
down and so earnestly and ably adyo-
Gated up to very recent date, but
which now unfortunately for the coun
try he turns his back upon. The EN-
ployment of such language might be
overlooked in an excited stunt
speaker, but it i'll becomes the chic
magistrate of the nation, and the utter
er will yet have occasion to regret it.
The President Processes to feel great
satisfaction in the course he is now
pursuing. He boasts of what he has
done in the past, and exultingly de-
clares that he shall triumph i'll the flu
ture. He says: Remember one
thing, gentlemen, that i'll MY past life
though shareholders may misrepresent
none can say have deceived or be
trayed him. 1t will be for you TO SEE
in the future, who will redeem all hi
promises, and who will be most faith
full" No allusion is made to the ne
groes whose Moses he once announced
himself to be, nor to the rights which
he declared they ought to possess
In short, the speech is an appeal t.
the prejudices of men rather THAI
their Judgment 1t will have the sam
effect as his twenty-second of Febru
airy speech. 1t will be applauded b.
every rebel North and South, and de
nounced by Union men.

The Views of Loyal SOutherners.

A delegation of loyal Southerners
are here with n memorial most earn
estly imploring Congress to save them
from the gigantic injustice and cruel
ties perpetrated upon them by the
present State organizations. Among
other things they assert that Union
men, black and white, have been
forced by State processes and sheriils
from estates that were abandoned by
Rebels and sold under the United
States Tax laws, and purchased and
now occupied by loyal men, with their
crops growing and implements and
stock all confscated to the Rebel
State authorities. They prove con
clusively that loyalty is the most obi
Gus thing at present known in the
South - Washington correspondence Of
the Tribune.
To be loyal to the United States
Government is, in many sections of
the South, as odious as it was during
the rebellion: and yet the President
tells us that the "South is well and
Loyalty disposed Surely his infor-
nation must come from rebel sources,
for the testimony before the Recon
struction Committee and the state
ments of well-known Union men are
to the contrary. The conservatives, Z"
as those persons who favor the Presi-
dents policy delight to call them
selves, seem to overlook the important
fact that the loyal men of the South
are the ones who most earnestly pro-
test against the recognition of the
State governments at the South as at
present organized. They are already
prosecuted, but place the power in the
hands of unrepentant rebels and this
prosecutions will be still greater IN
this connection We copy the following
appeal by Unionist at the South, to
n distinguished member of Congress,
which we find in one of our exchan-
ges:
"In heavens name, Mr.. $780,, do
not let Congress recognize these State
Governments here in the South, as at
present organized. Every former
friend of the Government would very
soon be driven out OF this country by
system Of petty prosecutions and gi-
gantic aggressions, and as they are the
only friends the black men have here,
these Rebels will, in very many locali-
ties, soon corrupt the agents of the
Freedmen's Bureau and then these
poor unfortunate beings would be left
entirely at the mercy of those who
will pursue them with most iendish
hatred for the part these blacks took
IN putting down the Rebellion. 1t is
not SO much who represents them in
Congress, az ii is who shall have con
troll OF the machinery of government
here at home, that most concerns the
aoyal citizens here in the South. Vile
Rebel constituencies will now, per.
haps, send up to Congress loyal rep
resentatiges, that they may the sooner
and better obtain the power and au
thority to crush out the last yestige o
love and respect for the institutions 0
our country. here in the South. The.
