is we'll known to all, and that in
cludes you. Mr.. Editor, that the class
of persons in the late rebel States
whom the bill was intended to pro-

ness for self-prescrvation, wholly in
capable of protecting or defending
themselves against the savage mon
sters whose former occupation was
to lash, laceratc and wreak from
them all the labor their bodies could
possibly endure. And those same
monsters in human shane still bid
defiance to the laws of the United
States, unless over-awed by the pres
ence of Union army.
You say cit is not enough (for the
Radicals) that the President has
shown his heartfelt sympathies to be
with the freedmen" etc. Heartfelt
sympathy! may the great God dcliv.
er us all from such sympathy. The
sympathy which held, owned and
worked slaves, with no compensation
save a bare subsistence, up to the
very moment when the war for free
dom or slavery forced him, like
thousands of others to let them 90.
Yes, I say deliver me from all such
sympathy. What, Sir, do you, what
will the American people think of
the man who is continually prating
about the frcedmcn's rights, the pro-
lection of the freedmen, the amcli-
Grafton of the freedmen, and who
embraces the first and every oppor-
tunity of thwarting aud defeating
each and every measure for the pro-
lection and support OF the freedmen ?
The man who sets up his own indi-
vidual will against the Judgment of
nearly one hundred aud fifty Senators
and Representatives Of the loyal
States, men tried and true to the
principles Of human liberty, is unfit
to administer the laws of any nation,
I care not how barbarous.
But here is the trouble, here is
what hurts President johnson, and
what hurts every rebel on the Amer
lean Continent, and, thank God,
what clinchcs the nail in President
Johnson's political coffin-lid forever,
you give it to us in single sentence,
and thus you speak it: "The freed.
mems bill was vetoed mainly because
Southern Representatives had no
voice in framing it," Because South
ern Representative. had no voice in
framing it! Only think of it! the
President of the United States, ofthe
loyal men of this nation-the man
who was placed in the Presidential
chair when these same Southern
Representatives were using their
every energy to overthrow aud des-
troy the United States Government.
by sitting in the Cabinet and Coun-
esls Of the Rebellion. and bearing
arms and leading rebel armies against
