THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU.--No paper
has published fully the secret motives OF
the Radicals for desiring the continuance
of the Freedmen's Bureau. In 1860 the
Abolition Republican party had no elec-
!. toral ticket in eleven States of the Union.
1t had no supporters or party in those
States, was not National enough to have
one, was sectisnal. Since the Crittenden
resolutions were presented to Congress
in the session of 1860 and 1861, the man.
ayers Of that party have never dared to
20 before the people of the United States
with any important question, unsupport-
ed by an army of collectors assessors
and other civil officers, as well as by the
patronage of a military establishment
without parallel in the history of this
country. The patronage of the war was
worth half a million votes to any party
managing it. That patronage is lost by
the, termination of the war. The Radi-
Gals are trying to secure an equivalent.
They hoped to force negro suffrage upon
the eleven States in which they had no
party in 1860; and through negroes and
white men meaner than negroes" by
the agency of the Freedmen's Bureau, to
build UP party to relieve them of the
stigma of sectionalisnl, and if possible to
eEstble them to continue the control of
the General Government. This is the
plain English meaning of all the Radical
movements since the end of the war.
