Hon. William Martin, a prominent
lawyer and public man of Virginia.
and from the tobacco growing region
on the South side of the James river.
had an interview with the President
yesterday, in which the state of affairs
in Virginia was freely talked over.
We learn that Mr. M. gave a most
cheering account of the freedmen in
his region of the State, and fully con-
firmed the statement of the late lepis-
lative delegation as to the almost uni
versal and sincere submission of the
masses Of the people to the Govern
ment and laws of the United States.
WASHINGTON, February 27.-It is
now a common remark among Repub-
icans that Congress is softening. A
very eminent radical in the Executive
quarter said to me to-day that the
ship of State was again on the right
tack.
This means, probably, that the
more conservative members are to
break away from the Stevens-Forney
rule, and sustain, partially at least,
the Presidents policy. Something of
u breach will probably exhibit itself
tomorrow. The radical majority is
In hazardous condition in the Sc
nate, and there was still .,ome dispo-
sition shown to fight it out on their
line, by the fierce attempt to break
the force of Mr.. Di1on's strong arg1l-
ment to-day.
There is rumor that the Secretary
OF the Treasury has brought bureau
officer to account for abuse of the
President. A large number of the
subordinates in departments still
think they are great power.
An intimate personal friend of Mr..
stanton said, to-day, that the latter
desired to retrieve himself before the
nation. Too late.

A reception was gi II by President
johnson at the Executive Mansion
last night, which was crowded almost
beyond precedent in similar affairs.
Citizens of all classes, the majority of
them persons of prominence and in
huence, attended, and manifested by
their presence and hearty greetings
the increased estimation in which the
President is held in consequence of
the severe ordeals through which he
has recently passed.

ADDRESS OF THE FRENCH SENATE
MEx1co.-The address of the French
Senate in reply to the Emperor's ad-
dress throws side-light on the sig
nifcance of his language regarding
the Mexican expedition, the recall of
the French troops, and the perma-
nence of Maximilian's reign. The
paragraphs on these subjects run as
follows:
Your Majesty has announced that
that memorable Mexican expedition
approaches its conclusion, and that
you are coming to an arrangement
with the Emperor Maximilian for fix
ing the period of the recall of the
troops. France is satisfied to hear
that the protection to her commercial
interests will be assured in that great
and rich market restored by our CO.
operation to security.
AS for the United States, if, in con-
sequence Of misapprehension, the
presence of the French flag on the
American continent appears to them
less opportune than at another more
illustrious epoch in their history, the
firm language of your Government
has shown that it is not high and me-
nacing words which will determine
our withdrawal France is accustomed
to march only at her own time, but
she is pleased to remember her an
cient friendship for the United States.
What you claim from them is, neu-
trallty and the law of nations. BY
that means they will the sooner see
that war, undertaken for the so Oft
aayowed purpose of protecting resident
frenchmen against Il Government
without probity, does not become, by
reason of its successful issue, a war Of
gandism.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 81, 1866.
DEAR PHOENIX Last night there
was large mass meeting of the citi-
zens of this city held in the Institute
Hall, for the purpose of endorsing
the recent action of our President.
Speeches were made by several gen.
tlemen, who most heartily endorsed
the veto message of the President.
1t seems that the President has been
doing all that mortal man could to
restore the disfranchised States to
full membership in the great national
family; but unfortunately he has met
some opposition. However, we i'm
plicitly rely upon the firmness and
integrity of President johnson, and
feel sure that he will do all that is
possible to re-adjust the somewhat
disarranged machinery of this great
and growing Government. We do
not apprehend any serious collision
between the President and the pre-
sent Congress; yet, even in such an
unfortunate event, we believe that
the troubled waters would soon be-
come calm and placid through the
iudicious conduct of ell the people.
The glory of our Government is, that
it belongs to the people; they are the
throne of power. And if the people
are properly enlightened and Chris
tianized, ths. s.Government will abide
safe for all time. But it is well for
70
culiar feature of our Government
exposes it to the ravages of ambitious
and designing men, and hence all
men should be exceedingly careful TO
avoid anything that would influence
the worser passions of the populace.
Many persons frequently write with
out previous meditation, and many
speakers speak without thinking
much; and hence most of our politi-
cal difficulties originate in these
ephemeral productions. While I
write or speak let me not become
dogmatical, but remember that others
have the same privilege thus to ex-
press their thoughts; and let me allow
that they have brains and purity of
purpose as we'll rs I. In word, let
me feel that I am only one person
among thirty millions of free people
on this continent. If all people
throughout our country would thus
reason, feel and act, what quiet
season of peace and continued pros
perity would be everywhere enjoyed.
May the desirable period in our his
tory soon arrive. May rkerings,
strifes and contentious A. er cease
among us, and may peace d con-
cord forever reign. OMEGA.

Words OF Truth and soberness.


Reverend Albert Barnes, D. D., O
distinguished divine of Philadelphia,
strong anti-slavery man, has re-
Gently uttered the following words of
truth and soberness:
81 hesitate not to say that, on the
whole, the conduct of the South in
the feelings evinced on the termina-
tion Of the conflict, has been such as
to demand tho confidence of the
North, and the admiration of man
kind The surrender of the armed
forces was so complete and entire; the
cessation Of hostiities was SO imme-
diate and universal; the acknowledge
ment that they had been overcome
was so prompt, frank and manly; the
readiness to return to the Union has
been so general, and apparently so
sincere; the recognition of the fact
that slavery is extinct forever, has
been widely admitted as fact-vast
as are the consequences involved, and
is the change in their habits; the rea-
diness to come under the arrange
ments for collecting the revenue has
been so prompt; the disposition to
resume commercial intercourse with
the great cities of the North has been
so marked; and the willingness to
come into the great arrangements of
the nation for perpetuating freedom
has been so general, that we see in
this, I think, the return of the feelings
of the best days of the Republic:
There are exceptions, individual,
but there has never been a civil war
closed, where there was less lingering
animosity, or more willingness to unite
again under the same Government.
Can we forget when we think of what
Is in the Southern bosom still, that
longcherished opinions, feelings and
customs, do not soon change among
some people. Can we forget how long
after the wars of the Roses,' and
after the civil wars that resulted in
the establishment of 6 the Common
wealth, in England, on the cessation
of the forms of war, the feelings
which had been engendered fingered
in the bosoms of Engishmen Can
we forget how long after the Revolu-
ton, the banishment of James, and
the accession of William and Mary
love for the 'pretender' fingered in
the hearts of a portion of that nation;
how firm was the conviction that he
was the rightful heir of the crown;
how strong the hope that he would
yet come to the throne? Shall we
blame our Southern brethren if some
similar feelings linger in their bo-
SONS o.
Such sentiments as these, uttered
by men in high position among their
fellow-citizens, will do more to ce-
ment the Union and revive the old
kindly feelings between the people of
both sections than all the declama-
tions of political haranguers can ever
effect. This is another cheering indi-
cation of the pleasant change in the
feelings of the Northern people.
