INJURY 70 both end The determination Of the negro
population,
These are words Of prophecy. They come
from . man, who, after many years Of ar
duous political strife, and an active psrtici-
patton in the bloodiest drama of the age,
with an experience and a sagacity equal to,
if not greater, than that of sny other man
Of bis country, stands upon the waach-tower
Of the nation, marking the evils Of the pres
ent, deserving the dangers of the future, and
warning Us, as Washington warned our
forefathers. OF the incalculable evils which
await ns as people, If those who
now control the legislation of Congress
are permitted to persist in their madness and
folly. They are not the words Of Andrew
johnson, the leader of party nor of Ans
drew johnson, participant in the wild
storm Of bloody WARRIOR even the careless,
casual remarks of ordinary conversation
but the carefully considered and vel weighd
words of warning of the President of the
United States, who, fully realizing the gray-
ity Of his position and the magnitude of the
impending issues has risen to the height of
true greatness, and is nobly struggling to
rescue his people from the dreadful calami-
ties into which they are SO rapidly drifting.
He has evidently lost hope in the return
Of soberness and reason to the present Con-
gress. His only resort now is in an appeal
to the people. To that tribunal he turns
with confidence He has never mistaken
the people. No one knows better than he
does how to reach their judgment. Great
evils may come upon the country before
that Judgment can be impressed; and it may
be that there is 80 little of virtue and
integrity left, that he viii fail in
arousing it to any sufficient pur-
pose. We must not despair, however.
Despair is northe part of patriotism nor the
spirit of true Courage. Let us hope that we
have reached the height of the storm, and
that, having spent its chief force, there will
be reactionary movement, which the Pres
ident, in the hands of a wise and good Prov
idence, may be able so to control as to bring
us finally into port of safety, with much
left for occasion to rejoice, and out of which
those who shall come after us may build a
brighter and happier future
