Meeting In Philadelphia.

The Academy of Music, in Phila-
delphla, was crowded on the night of
the l4th instant, by an enthuastic
audience of ladies and gentlemen, to
listen to addresses by Senators
Cowan and Doolittle, in support of
the President. Henry Simons, ESQ.
occupied the chair. Mr.. Doolittle,
after treating of the subject of rebel
lion, and the present issue before the
country, declared that the man who
denies the union of the States under
the Constitution is himself a dis
unionist. He refuted the many cal
umnics, as he styled them, that had
been raised against the personal cha
racter of the President, and express
ed his firm belief, established by per
sonal experience, that no man was
more assiduously and conscientiously
engaged in the discharge of his duty.
than Andrew johnson. He Illus
trated the policy of President Lin
coin III the recommendation of Louis
lana and Arkansas, as to admission
into the Union, which had bcca en-
dorsed at the Baltimore Convention,
and by a majority of both houses of
Congress Year ago, to show that the
johnson policy was not new one,
but an obedience to the wishes of the
Union party. Instead of the Presi-
dent proving false, the men who were
now attempting to lead it were per
verting its grand objects and inten-
tlons-the restoration of the Union
and the endorsements of the laws.
Mr.. Cowan followed in an eloquent
argument in defence of sustaining the
laws, by virtue of which the rebellion
had been crushed The Presidents
plan OF reconstruction relies at once
upon the authority of the Constitu-
tlon-the law of the land Ii the
Southern people had not forgotten
tins. there would have been no rebel.
hon. he was opposed to any amend
ment to the Constitution ut the pro
sent time. As endorsers Of the Pre-
sident's policy. he mentioned Sc ard.
Stanton, Welies, Grant, Sherman.
Meade, Hancock and others, whose
names We're vociterously cheered. On
the other hand, in opposition, he
placed the names of Stevens, Bntler
and others, the mention of which
eliclted misses and slight applause
HIS hope was IL the virtue and integ-
rty of the people, both North and
South. The Southern people had
suffered severely, and now was the
time to extend mercy, after they had
surrendered to the law. After otbsr
speeches by distinguished gentlemen
the meeting adjourned.

THE president AND THE FREED
MEMS BuHEAU.-The order of the
President for the arrest of all officers
OF the freedmen's Bureau found cul-
tlvatlns plantations in the Southern
States has created an unusual com
motion among the faithful in Con
grcss. The friends of the negro in
Congress-that is, the friends of the
new system Of taking care of negroes
developed by Messrs. Stccdman and
Fullerton--do not understand what
right President Johnson has to inter
fere with an institution ordained by
an Act of Congress. They consider
his watchfulness over the poor freed
men Us an nunwarrantable interference
with their peculiar prcrogatives.
They have declared solemnly that the
President is not nor the friend Of the
negro, and they are chagrincd that he
should undertake to protect these
new made citizens Of African descent
from any outrage whatever, particu-
larly if it should be pcrpetratel by
oDc OF those appointed by that emf
nent phllanthropist and Christian
gentleman, the head Of the Freed
! mems Bureau. 1t is whispered about
the halls of Congress that one reason
why the Presidents recent order finds
| so much disfavor is, that certain ex-
tremely radical Senator'S and mem
bers OF Congress, who are imbucd
with somewhat Of the notorious Yam
kee speculative spirit, arc directly
and largely interested in some of the
farms or plantations that are being
cultivated in the South under the
auspices of the Frecdmen's Bureau,
and that they fear the arrest Of their
agents or partners may occasion dis
closures which might not only be
uncomfortableiudividually but would
make an ugly record for the radical
party before the people
