lures, is moved by an impulse beyond the
politicians control, and tosses in storms or
sleeps in calmsin obedience to the pulsatione
of the great heart of the people. The would
be leaders who have attempted to calm III
waves or direct its currents during the past
year, have found their words had no charm
and their commands no power; and those
who attempt hereafter to stop this agitation
of the people, short Of equal rights for all,
will find themselves quite as impotent as
Mrs Partington with her broom attempting
TO push back the advancing tides Of the ocean,
ing to make themselves the centre of a circle
around which the people of this country
would be pleased to revolve.
The unfinished work of giving equal rights
to all men, is the legacy of 1865 to 1867.
We have this especially in charge. We fur
nish the example and lead the way for the
struggling millions of the old world. They
look to us to conlound the arguments and
falsify the predictions of their enemies. I hon,
not alone for our own advancemcnt,-al
tuIs ID DtCduec III
doing right ourselves we shall go far toward
bringing to millions of oppressed, half
fed. half-clothed, uneducated, unchristianized
brothers beyond our borders the blessings
which missionaries and despotisms now with
hold from them, let us with this year re-
new our resolutions never to cease agitatng
and working for equal rights every where
under flag, while those rights arc any
where denied. If our purpose needs re in
MIGRATING, let us strengthen it and nerve it
with new power. Let no man weary in the
good fight. Be not deceived or cheated into
abandoning the good cause. Fight the bat
tie through and make Congress fight the
battle through-on this line summer and
winter and winter and summer, till complete
victory is won. 1t may not come this year,
but, if we deserve to win the fight, perfect
triumph cannot be long deferred

can prevent the crime. President johnson is
the head of the law-enforcing power Of the
nation, and when he offers immunity to Grim
iaas, be becomes the instigstor of the crime.
Yet his course for the past year has been such,
that every hater of equal rights and every er-
envy OF emancipation has counted him as his
friend, his defender, aud his pardoner. If he
mas not technically violated the laws, he has
refused to perform the duty imposed upon him
by bis oath to execute the laws; and he has thus
violated his oath, and become the shield be-
tween the law-breaker and the punishment
which should be visited upon crime. The con-
sequence, as might be expected, is that, where
ever the late rebels have political power. they
murder, Cypress, msltreat, whip, and sell into
slavery, the poor colorec people, who are help
less and powerless in their hands, and who find
the President, who should be their deliverer
and protector, their hzrd, and cruel, and i'm
placable enemy.

The Freeman and the New Year.

The Freeman and the new Il eslF-
We give our readers the salutaiions OF the
season, and wish them all Happy New Year
So fer as We can contribute to make the year q
happy one to those who read the FREEMAN, by
giving them a better paper than ever before,
We shall earnestly and constantly endeasor TO
contribute to that result. We expect to i'm
prove the typographical appearance of the
paper, of which all our readers will be glad
And il any wisdom has come to US with the
years of work in thinking and writing Tor cur
columns, We ought, and hope to make those
columns more than ever attractive and valuable
this year. We shall remit nothing of our zeal
and esrnestness 10 the cause for which all honest
Reprb licans are 1rking, and shall not lower
the standard which bears for its Inscription the
article of our political fai b, :" Equal Rghts
for All" Contending for that, ard never
yielding it to any temporary expedieLcy or
d.ceitful compromise, the FIREMAN enters
upon the new year with unfaltering faith and
undertaking courage.
And while are doing this, We may be par
doned for suggesting to our readers that they
have work 10 DC. Inc enemies CT equal Tlguts
were never more industrious than now in di.
seminaliog their false and pernicioIs doctrines.
They sowing this seed broadcast in every
community, with the most untiring missionary
enterprise. These doctrines need only 10 b.
met by the truth to become powerless for mis-
chief. Republicans, and especially radical R
publicans who believe truth is more than
match for error in fair field, should therefore
aid as far possible the circulation of Repub
licsn newspapers. We believe otfend
no one when We say that the FREEMAN, as an
advocate of the advanced and progressive prn-
ciples of RePublicanism, has no superior in the
State, as it certainly has none in It's lndeper-
dent and honest criticism of public men and
public measures. Let Repub leans then make
ef,rt to overthrow the pernicious hereses
of the enemies of freedom, and 10 widen the
sphere of usefulness of the FREEMAN-and net
the FREEMAN only. but ali sound Republican
newspapers an effort to send it into hun
dreds of households where i: IS not now read.
In this way you can do q service for the cause
in which are all working and most salts
factorily return to US the congratulations OF
The season.

TIE OCEAN YACHT RAcE.-A little more
than two weeks ago, three yachts, the Henri

from New York harboI On race across the
Atlantic. Each vessel was owned by persons
of large wealth, and thirty thousand dollars
was wagered By each, making purse of
$4,000, which was tie prize tor which the
yachts were to contend. James Gordon Ben
nett, Jr was the owner and commander OF
the Henrietta. and was the only owner who
had the courage we'll manliDess to brave
the wIntry weather and the peri Of tie voy
age, and 60 out in his own vessel, the owners

and more comfortable journey by s:edmeT.
The cattle has brought the news that the Hen
Iietta has won the race, having arrived at
Cowes, Isle Ct Wight, at five o'clock forty
two minutes, l. M, Dec. 25, making the voy
age in the unprecedented time-for sailing
vessei--of thirteen days and invent y-two houre.
The Fiees W ing arrived the next morning at
half past two, and the Vesta at three clock.
No accident occurred on the passage, EXCEPT
that six # The crew of the Fleet Wing weie
washed overheard in storm. They expert
enced very rough weatLer, and would tnques-
tionably have made much better time under
more favorable circumstances.
The yachts excited great attention in Eng
land and their Ulcers have been offer ed num-
berless attentions and inequalities by the
Royal Yacht club of Z gland; while the
London newspapers, including the Times, are
filled with accounts Of the voyage, descrip
tions of the vessels and complimentary edito
