of the Freedmen's Bureau can now be

For how long time has 1t been that we
have had n President, either from the
North or the South, before this one who
in formal avowal Of his sentiments

the negro As political issue, and avoid
Ell sectional illusions altogether! How
strange it seems to have the elect of II

seemed little less than Satanic, present

While. I am aware that the time in which
Congress proposes now to remain in session is

deeply the welfare ofths country, that / deem
it my duty to bringi it before you.
Ishave no doubt that yeu will concur with
me in the opinion that il is, desirable to re-
store the States which were, engaged in the
rebellion to their proper relations to tho Gov.

as the people Of these States shall be found
