The radicals are trembling in their boots,
lest the President should appoint the col
ored Ohio orator, John NJ. Langston, chief
of the freedmen's bureau in place of Gen.
Howard. The telegraphic correspondent of
the Boston Daily AduertiSer says there is no
danger of "Langstons being caught in such
trap Why trap What more appropri-
ate appointment for a black man than to the
headship of the freedmen's bureau? The
radscals are hypocrites in this matter of ap-
pointing negroes to Office, and do not wish

Senator Grimes, of Iowa, has the good
sense to oppose the radical high protection
lists, who are trying to get him to take the
stump, but can't do it. In published let
ter Grimes says:
az cannot believe that the intelligent people of
Iowa are quite willing to destroy their revenue
from imports by prohibitory tariff, land that
is what the advocates of the new tariff avowedly
sought last winter,) only to impose new and ad-
ditonal direct taxes upon their own domestic pro-
ducts to supply the Deficiency
That's the talk The high protective tar
if now in existence is the highest ever
known in any civilized government and the
people will never get any relief from its OPP
pressions until they turn the radicals out of
Office.

The radicals have been abusing Mr.. John
son for suppressing certain correspondence
from Gen. Grant. The dispatches the other
day said that there was great indignation in
"loyal official quarters" in consequence of
the suppression. 1t now turns out that Gen
Grant marked the correspondence "private
and the suppression of his views was there
fore his own act. The radical newspapers
are so fair and just in all things that o.
course they will make haste to publish the
fact

l had, at that time, well defined conceptions
of the perils that threatened our then happy
and prosperous country. My forebodings
have been realized; the south has been
overrun, our prosperity destroyed, our labor
system overturned, our capital swept away,
our social organization fatally remodeled,
and our civil governments substituted by
military despotism, The whole country
north, south, east and west-feels the shock,
and constitutional liberty writhes in the
throes of expiring dissolution The future
darkness is scarcely relieved by single ray
of hope. And it seems that we have not
reached the "lowest deep" of our woe. The
| ruling powers seem bent upon our still
greater humiliation. The theme is one
on which it is too painful to dwell. Reason
| seems to have surrendered the sceptre OF
craftsmanship to blind and vindietive pas
| SION What is to be the result, God only
knows; and He only can rescue the country
from the worst fate that ever fell upon a
once free, prosperous and happy people.
Perhaps you may be, in some degree, in
| terested in what is personal to myself. As
you perhaps know, l resisted secession as
long as it was an open question. But, when
my state resolved upon it, l cast my lot with
the fortunes of my people, feeling confident
that we should 'reap the whirlwlnd.' |
have not been disappointed; and, though l
never cherished an emotion of hostility to
the constitution, or the union of our torefath-
ers under it,-though I have spent quarter
of century in trying to uphold both, yet l
; now find myself, at the end of such career,
DISTINGUISHED, and assigned a position, in
respect to political and civil rights, inferior
to that of my former slaves. My home is
in the track OF Sherman march. His army
destroyed nearly everything possessed, in
Guiding my private papers and title deeds
and reduced me from comfort to poverty
