The President has relieved General a Dowell from the command of the Fourth li kary District and ordered him to report the War Department for duty. He ia st ceeded by General Gillern. IQ the House, the Bill to appropriate moe for tte purchase of Alaska was under consi e ration. Mr. Washbarne, of Wisconsin, opposed a appropriation to carry the Bill into effect, is understood that a vote OD the matter w be taken on Thursday. In the Senate, Mr. Trumbull spoke again the Bill excluding the Southern States fro the Electorial College, and moved to atrii Florida and Arkansas from the Bill. No a j tion was taken. The consideration of the Civil Appropri tion Bil! was resumed. Mr. Sherman withdrew the Funding Bi ! which he had offered as au amendment. On the 2d, in the Senate, a joint resol tion was passed admitting six Japaneseyoutl to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. A bill was iutroduced convening the ne: session of Congress on the third Monday : November. A. S. Welch, the Florida Senator, wi seated. Pacific railroad matters were discussed i great length. A bill was reported giving $7,000 to tl ladies' Mount Vernon Association. In the House, the Reconstruction Com m i tee reported a bill dividing Texas into tw States. Ordered printed.. After disposing of several executive cou municatious of no general importance, th House considered the Senate amendments t the civil appropriation bill, and, without cor elusion, adjourned. Members of Congress are becoming ver anxious to adjourn, and will probably do s without touching the finances. Several Treasury clerks were dif-missed o the 1st, on account of no appropriation0. The object for convening Congress th i third Monday in November, is to have a re cess instead of an adjournment, to prevent rt mov?is by the President. Boutwell objects to the bill dividing Texas A joint resolution extending the Agricul tural College act to Arkansas, was referrei to the Committee on Public Lands. The Tribune says editorially, alluding b Grant's order, placing recently elected offi cials in office iu Louisiana : General Gran will to-day issue an order of the same naturi applicable to the States of Georgia, Florida Suuth Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama ? On ?he 3d, in the Seuate, a memorial wat presented asking fifteen thousand dollars foi deepening the St, John's (Fla.) river.

The House considered appropriations in Committee of the Whole, ?gain rejecting the amendment allowing clerks extra compensa tion ; and after passing the bill forniuhing the militia of each Congressional district with two thousand rifles and two batteritjs of ar tillery, adjourned to Monday. The Corruption Committee report covers over twenty columns with positive facts or as sertions. The report labors to show the prob ability that money was raised and used to acquit President Johnson. The amount of din throwu is amazing. Scarcely a friend of the President or prominent political opponent escapes. Detective Lafayette C. Baber is dead. He leaves a quarter of a million. ??S~ The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel says : The old and well-known firm of W. A. Ramsoy A Co. have sold out their stock to Mr. J. C.

Dear Advertizer : On Fr nd ay morning, at 10 o'clock, we find ow.... set down, noient volent, in Baltimore. On aooount of some Sanday regu lation the cars do not run further than tbii point to day. Therefore wo shall not seo New York as soon as we expected by 24 hours. So it is in life. How seldom do the proposing of man and the disposing of God run in the tame groove ! And now that we are brought suddenly to a stand-still, we make it our first duty to achieve a few jotting? for the Advertiter. They will be higgledy-piggledy, pell-mell ; for that is the way we feel, after two day? and nights of dirty, sleep less railroad travel. When we get to Now Tork we will proceed to indite you Convention pros pects and Convention doings. Loft Augusta on Friday morning, in pelting rain. Hope you had some of it ! Bought Ex cursion Ticket to New Tork and back for $32.00. Chose npper route, via Columbia, Charlotte, Dan ville, Richmond, to. ""Was informed that we would reach N. T. on Sunday morning. Railroad men aro as deluding as women ! Thought the cars would be jammed with distinguished public men starting to Convention. On the contrary only three human being?, including ourself were passengers. Felt like Jonah in the whale's belly. Not having traveled fora long time, was nervous for fear a disaster would befall us. Felt constant ly in one pocket to see if excursion ticket was safe, and in the other to see if financos were ditto. The long and elaborate ticket made much larger roll than the finances. Struck with nothing between Augusta and Co lumbia but the splendid orchards in the vicinity of Orangeville and Aiken ; and with the appa rent extreme poverty of thc people all along the line of the road. At Orangeburg met with Ridge people getting on the cars, and upon arriving at Columbia, saw them take the train for home, left Orangeburg at 2 P. M., and would reach the Ridge by 6 P. M. So mach for the Columbia and Hamburg Railroad. At depot in Columbia saw some hard-featured strange looking women. Won dered much what they were and where they came from. Turned out to be Yankee school-marms laboring and loving (negroes) in Columbia. Four of them embarked, and formed a study for us of human character, until we happily lost sight of them at Richmond. At Charlotte, N. C., things began to look more prosperous,-premises in good repair, fences whitewashed, inhabitants clean looking. And this became more and more the case as we neared Virginia. Passed over the new Piedmont mad, and by the beautiful and thriving town of Dan ville, destined, it is said to be one of the greatest tobacco markets in America. It is situated in the heart of as beautiful c. oouotry as we have even seen,'the whole land exalting in growing Corn, groin and tobacco. Contrary to expectation, obliged to lay over in Richmond* four hour*. Repair to Spootswood Hotel, and thence make an incursion into the city; in company with Dr. Irvine and his daugh ter of Greenville. Richmond beautiful, airy, clean, healthful, guy,-prosperous Walked about the bright and bustling streets With a sickening sensation that South Carolinians are the poorest people upon God's earth. Truly no people seem ti be so sorely stricken as we 1 Why can ire not recuperate like the inhabitants of other sections? We say it with groaning; that cannot be uttered, but really as soon as we crossed the South Caro lina line we seemed to emerge from darkness, death and long despair, into life and sunshine and prosperity. From Richmond to Washington via Acquia Creek. Up the Potomac at snails pace; could have towed a largo steamer up Beaver Dam in exactly the same time. From Washington to Baltimore on Sunday morning. Whole oouotry one soene of beauty, wealth and civilization. Cars crowded with Irish people in Sanday clothes. Dropped by the omnibus at Barnum's Hotel. Hurry through crowds of distinguished and ele gant-looking men, who, we fear would be demon stratively disgusted at the appearance among them of so grimy and dirty-looking an individual, and hurry to a chamber. Begin to jot down these items, when loud laughter and tumultuous footsteps are heard io the hall. These proceed from two individuals woll known (shall we say '-and loved?") in Edge field. Gen. M. W. GARY and Capt N. 0. BUTLER. They are both popular here; indeed they "weed a wide row." They bring with them a couple of gay triunda ; and much is said and done that would amuse a dead man in a coffin. This party, ourself included, will depart for New York to-night. Fear we have written some what egotistically; if so, pardon us. Hav'nt bad time yet to find out anything about anybody else, or any other matter. More anon. How does the public square look ? J. T. B. ? ? Disappointed. Through some neglect in the Post Office depart ment we have failed to receive our Editorial Cor respondence from New York, which we have eve ry reason to believe was mailed in time to reach here on Monday last We regret this. But hopo to hear from Our Editor in lengthy detail before our next issue. ? ? ? Amnesty. Prosident Johnson's Amnosty Proclamation has at length been issued, and will be found on an other column. The Charleston New? says, allud ing to this Proclamation, " Right worthily has President Johnson done his part in the restoration of peace and order to the Union ; and though the partisans of a Radical Congress may oontinue to howl at his course to the end of his term, his place in history is assured among the eminent men who have dared encounter undeserved obloquy and persecution for the sake of their country's weal." A Superb Basket of Fruit. M. D/T. VAUGHN places us under everlasting obligations for a large basket of magnificent Peachos and Plnms-decidedly the finest we have seen this season. We are ready at all times to give warm welcome to such contributions, and are now anxiously awaiting for some other good fellow to remember us out of their abundance. Who will it be ?

Call on him and secure your seed forthwith. None better can be found anywhere in these United States. " Well Done," Friend Body. Rev. J. P. Bonis, a warm and good friend of the Advertiter, and the Advertiter corps, sends us from Kirksoy's X Roads a Club of Thirty New Subscribers, accompanied with the Cash. Thank you-thank you-thank you, dear Mr. B. Long may you livo in the land, and may hoalth and prosperity attend you alway. Who will send in the next Club? Comoon, everybody.

A seconds more and there it stood " Sn all its ^ OU8 attributes"-a novel sight to many, a gladdening sight to all. It was a long t heavily freighted with the beauty and the cb ry of the Capitol of the State, together w numerous delegation from Lexington and the Stations on the route. ' Thoy were crowded o platforms, on the tops of the oars, and even oi cow-catober in front of the Engine, and we 1 that many were left, on acoount of the wa room. The arrival of this train swelled th ready im menso crowd to overwhelming num It was estimated by good judges that there now present from two to three thousand pe< A Committee appointed to receive the Presi and Directors hastened to meet these jgentlei and after extending to them a cordial welcon the festivities of the day, oonducted them tc speakers' stand. JAM KS E. LEK, the irrepressible and uni ven popular " squire" of the Batesville oommui presided as Chairman and Master of Ceremoi with his usual urbanity and courtesy. A Band from Columbia now struck np itt m and contributed greatly to the life of the o sion. We noticed on the stand OenL M. C. I LiR, F. 6. Da FONTAINE, Esq., Capt. F. W. D SON of the Charleston AVI.-I, and others. The Chairman rose and announced that WILLIAM JOHNSON, President of the Road, wi address the audience. Col. JOHNSON was received with applause, proceeded to address the audience at consider length in a very practical and happy style, represented tb? prospects of tho Road os hi very encouraging, and expressed full confide in its early and rapid completion. The grac had been nearly finished to Graniteville; the i had been purchased and was being hurried : ward as rapidly as possible, the stocks were gi uaily appreciating in value, and that he bad m a recent sale of ten thousand dollars of the Bo of the Road at seventy-five per cent in ca?: expressed congratulations that tho political pi pects of the country were brightening, and i mated that he did not think Chief Justice CHA the worst man in the world to be run as a cai date for tho Presidency. Ho alluded in com; mentary terms to the valuable services that 1 been rendered the Road by the people: on Lexington end of that route, and in this conn tion made especial mention .of Messrs^Bjn Bou KNIG HT, LEWIE and othors,and saidee m>] that the people of Edgefield would como to rescue with the same enterprising and resol .spirit. Dinner was then annonnced, and tho crowd paired to the tables whioh they found lader with a sumptuous supply of all sorts of gc things, and they yielded a very willing obediei when the Master of .Ceremonies directed them j i* Pitch in, for it was a free repast." In the meantime, upon the arrival of the tra the Depot was pressed into service by the you folks, and was at once converted into.a Terp ebore Hall. With tho exception of a short int val at the dinner hour, the motto at the De] was "on with the dance, let joy bo unconflnei We have omitted to mention that on the w from the stand to the table, there was station by the road-side an establishment with a ve conspicuous t iga hung out, marked "Democra Ice-CrcBm Saloon." -The individual who was t presiding genius here, although a "Vay-fari man," was by no means a fool. At all events did not "ere therein." The day was intensely h and his establishment was so well patronized tt wo venture the presumption that bs would ha been a very fit subject for thieves and robbers , ho returned to his home, for we do not doubt 1 a moment that hit. pockets were well lined wi great wada of " filthy lucre." Dinner now over, and the crowd having be refreshed, all bands again repaired to the Star when a loud and very general call brought o friend Mr. LE KO Y F. Yo UM ANS, the distinguish Solicitor of the Southern Circnit to his feet. Il was, as it was expected to be, a spirited and ol quent address, interrupted with frequent applaui Ile urged the paramount importance of buildii up the internal mprovoments, and fostering tl internal resources of our country, and illustr?t his position with groat practical effect by a glan at English History, from the time of Bacon that of Gladstone, to prove that whatever polit cat dissensions distracted the English peoplo, th< never ncgleoted to foster these elements of ni tiona! greatness, and that as a reward for the vigilance their proud old Commonwealth stnnc to-day peerless in Commerce and the mistress i thc Seas. He concluded with the following sent ment, which was well-timed and happily receivec " WILLIAM JOHNSON the.Railroad King of Norl Carolina. The old North State has not domai of sufficient area to monopolize his energy, a bi! it and enterprise." Calls were next made for Mr. DEFOKTAINI the inimitable ".Personne," who declined in favc of Captain DAWSON. Tho remarks of this speak? wero in good taste, and were well received. Loud calls were frequently made for Genera BDVLER, but he did not respond on account c indisposition. Two colored Democrats from Columbia, whos names we regret that we failed to obtain, foll o wei next in order, and made staunch Democrat! speeches. General PAUL QUATTA LB A UM then madeashor address and the day closed. The whistle blew-and then another rash ti the Depot-some to get on the train, and othen to see them off. Another blow of the whistle and a few lusty puffs of steam, and the Rioblant and Lexington Delegations were out of eight homeward bound. Thus terminated an important day at Bates, ville Depot. Though the ocoasion was not po litical in its inoeption, and though this Depot ii situated in Lexington District, yet there wore numerous and unequivocal signs of the rapid progress of a sound and healthy Democraoy. It would seem that the Democrats are about to take possessing of the once glorious u Fourth," and restore it to its primitive ronown. Let the citizen* of Edgefield be on the lookout for the locomotive, and whonit comes, let us too, like the people of Batesvillo, have a grand old time over the occasion..

When each district is folly organized with clubs at the court house, and in every convenient locality in. the district, let each club elect five delegaisfi! t?o-meet and form a District- Central Club, for the moro thorough organization of the whole district 2. Lot each District Central Club then elect one delegate-these delegates meeting and form ing a State Central Club, which meets os often as it may see fit. , - In this way the whole State may be thoroughly organized. The pion has this merit, that it will not interfere with present organization of the I Democratic Clubs throughout the State. A Campaign Paper. The Augusta Conetitutionalitt-a true Southern paper-and conducted in all its departments with ability of the first order-will be furnished to subscribers during the Presidential Campaign, from 1st July to 15th November, at very low rates, and we advise those who wish to keep part ed on all tho political a fairs of the day, to sub scribo at once.

As " RIDGEWOOD" remarks in your issue of the 24th, in regard to Edgefield Railroads, the ic i nd work has been repeatedly done ; yet without a certain amount of wind work the necessary ?team will not be generated. The first step to be taken is to get the people thinking seriously on the subject, and convince them that tho project is not only feasible, but will add directly or indi rectly to the comfort of themselves and neighbors. With doe deference to " RIDCKWOOD'S" views, I suggest he is in error in thinking the larger scheme kills the smi.ller one. That might be the case if it depended isolely on the small population residing on *he short road. One of the sugges tions made by the writer of this, was, if it wu found impracticable to push through the Aiken and Ninety-Six Ros.d at present, then the loca tion of the Edgefield Branch should have some referonce to tho ultimate completion of that Road, so as to benefit and be benefitted by iL But tho building c t the Aiken and Ninety-Six Road is not a work Of such stupendous magnitude as to render its cons tr action impossible, even under existing circumttancts. Should our country be blessed with propitious seasons the farmers of Edgefield will be next yoar in a condition to ren der some assistance. Could the people be aroused to a sense of the importance of the euterprize, a fair proportion of the Stock of tho Company might be subscribed inlands, materials and work. It rests with the people of Edgefield to take the initiative. Co-operation and i assistance might thon be expected-snd obtained from the various Railroad lines and Corporations' which would be benefitted. As stated in their former article, tho South Carolina, Greenville and Columbia, and Columbia and Hamburg Railroads, as well as the Port Royal Railroad, and the City of Charleston, are all deeply interested io the construction of this com paratively short link, which would connect ulti mately the teeming plains of the West with the Atlantic Coast. Apart from the assistance these Corporations could and wcold render direttly, their influence could be brought to bear on the Legislature of the State for additional aid, for this is no merely local euterprize, but one which will affect the interests of thousand*. Postponing action to a more favorable season, may loose us the influence of rome one or moro of these Cor porations. Now is the time to bid for their assis tance, and take the preliminary steps to secure their aid. Augusta is urging the construction of a Road from Athens, Ga., to Clayton, and if counteracting influences are not brought to bear, the Port Royal Road is likely to identify its in terest with thoso of the Georgia route.

Closing the Free Slave Trade soon caused i propeTty slave in the fertile sad genial South, t be worth as much as six or eight horses or mulei or rather ns much as six or eight* Free Trad Slaves useci to be 'worth;../This /induced th Northern people to sell their Africans to the Soutl and to import cheaper white labor from al row It also caused the South to reduce the broe din of Africans to a science. This greatly iuorease value of the Slave likowiso soou taught his mast? not only to treat him tenderly; but to guard hil jealously, as ho hod legs. The poor native whi*? here, as well as poor white men from the Norit and from Europe, either wanted land in tho Soutl or employment at good' wages in our delightft climate, but could get neither on account of th competition of negro labor, and the monopoly c land by the ?lave owners. It was not long there fore before these poor whites began ta wai Sambo out of the way, and often instructed a well os persuaded him to use his legs. As whit population continued to multiply, these same poe white men, to get land, or employment themselvei made, open var with constantly increasing bit terneesoath; very institution of Slavery.. Ib i caused tho slave owners not only to repel poo white laborers from abroad, but to expel, pao white men from the South, or to drive them ii colonies as it were' to the thin lands of the South The nat?viti?t bf population ic the United'Statei os-disclosed'by the lost Federal'Censer, beor wit ness to this fact Before the war South Cnroli 'niant wera accustomed to think that the fltate-wa being overrun by Yankees, and that our cativ whites were too well pleased with slavery, am too strongly opposed to the abolitionists to aeitl among them, yet in 1360, there were Natives of South Carolina in Free States am Territories, ! ' 10.65?. Natives of Freo States and Territories in Senti Carolina, 2.297. Even in the wild Territories of the North-West beyond Karisa*, our State had 215 native repre eontatives in 1850, of whom 37 were revelling ii . the beastly rites of Utah. What aggravated still more the jealousy of th? slave owner,- and the hostility to sk very pf th? poor white man in th? South, at the North and it Europe, was the second fatal policy of tUe South ern people, not to develope any ind jf try but agri culture, and to avoid manufacturing; mining ont commercial pursuits, because they would bege towns, and introduce poor whites, who it wai thought would demoralise thc slaves, ?ad ander mine the institution of slavery itself.-.-The mott? of our local statesmen was, " Ko Home Industry but Agriculture with Free Trade in the work shops, and markets of the world." They forgo that the white poor here and el; where had to Ii vi lomehow. With the cessation of the Free Slave Trade, thi only policy by which slavery could have lon j been maintained, would hare been in the Soutl diversifying her industry, to give employment U ail poor native whites, and to such as might chops? to corno hither from the North, or from .abroad Iusteod of this, all our surplus capital was investee in more negroes from the border Slave States, t< erbaust more land, to make more staples, to buy more negroes, to expel mort poor native whites and to repel more foreign w hites. This was fbi short circle, or rather tread, in whioh the South ' mored to work out her own destruction. Whili the surplus capital of the South thoa went to build up Factories, Ships, Rail Roads, Banks, Palocei aud Cities at tho.North, oswell as?to invite ene mies to Slavery in poor white' laborers from Eu rope, tho self murdering South kept nothing ti show but galls and gallie;, ?s most of her fixed capital was nailed up'in a co mr once every thirty three years, and buried'in the old fields. It i obvious that the Whigs were right in-seeking ti diversify Southern industry, tiace, if Mantrfoe turing, Mining, Ship-Building, and the like, hal been developed here, in all probability slaven would not have been abolished in the Unite? States for several generations to come, and thi Southern people would not note be so pc or e vc t with slavery abolished. As our ancestors wen blind in closing the Free Slave Trade, so theil children have been equally blind In developinj no industry but agriculture. Tho great void ia the Labor market of th? United States, created by closing the Free Slav? Trade, and by sending all the surplus capital o ? the South, Northward to develop* new industriel for white labor there, caused millions upon mil iions of Europeans to pour into the Northen United States, until the stream of white popula tion"having crossed :he Continent, terned- Sooth ward, when it was checked for? time by the bor der Slavo States. This temporary check onlj served to increase the jealousy of the slave owners and to intensify the hostility of tao swelling mas pe* at the North, until finally it cut minuted ;u a war, which h*s ended in the abolition of slavery (which was inevitable sooner or later) not for thc good of tho negro, but for his destruction, tc make room for thu white man, and the Northern masses do not intend to be cheated out of th? fresh elbow roum whioh they have acquired in this friendly climate and prolific soil. Th? senti mental fools, and the designing knaves who want office, moy prate as much as they please about the nigger being a "man and brother,"-about th? Inalienable rights', of humanity-about all men being born free and equal, and about negro suf frage, bat the masses-the sensible abolitionists, have no idea of admitting the negro into the ranks of the governing ol?ss. All. colored men belong only to the governed class in white society, and it is tho settled policy of that society lo so govern them that they may be happier out of the world than in it All practical fu'ure agitation about the nigger in American politios, wiU be bow .best to get rid of him, not how best to make "a man and bro th or" out of bim. As long os Qtuuhee was property, worth a monopoly price by the Free Slave Trade being closed, his master was under bond not only to treat bim weU, but make others do it. That shield having been broken, every white American now, except the sentimentalists at the North, and many of their old masters at the South, will prove an Ishmaelite to the colored gentleman. The right of qualified or absoluto suffrage has been given to a handful of negroes in a few States ot the-Nortb, but it was not done fr >in sentiment, or principle, but only from policy, os part of the electioneering machinery to abolish slavery et the South. The negroes were put into the army for the same purpose, and not to fight, os it is well established that Sambo can stand neither steel nor lead. It was pretended to make a soldier of him only to undermine and dobauch the institution of Slavery. The Southern whites mode Such a stub, bi rn and heroic defence of Slavery that the Northern mssaes bad fears for several months, af. ter the war, that the South might attempt to re store it This is the reason why the poor deluded freedmen have boan pattiod on the book by oven sensible and practical abolitionists. Bat now that . all fears of slavery being re-established have been dispelled,-now that the.iustitutiou has been for ever abolished, within the United States, accord ing to tho forms1 of law, tho negro will speedily disappear from the political stage. Negro Slavery hung over the South like a black storm cloud which had to discharge itself in a convulsion at some time. The worst of the convulsion has pas sed, and the political heavens"will ere long get serene. Let ns be thankful that the Sooth no longer has the white race ef the whole-world banded against ber. Let ns smile, rather than -Crown, at the antics of Gumbo in strutting his brief hour around his conquered old master, whose only crime was too mach humanity to the African, in giving four millions of them employ, mont to the excluiion ofthat many white laborers. Wo got well whipped for it, and as the Rndicel leaders arti trying to exhibit still atore hrjuanity to Cuffee by attempting to make a white-man of him, they will get even stilt worse whipped at the ballot box, and if necessary at the cartridge box. -When Seward-that greatest mind but basest heart'in America-said that thorc is.an "irrepres sible con fl i : t" between free and sieve. labor, he only told part of the truth, and os usual, with bia consummate skill, ho did not say hat/ whitt he meant. Ho intended to say that there is an irre pressible conflict between the white race and all the colorad races, not onlj OB to labor, but TABQ OM to .land, as. to political, .powe^.and even as to the right to lire. He would not tay thia because the ie nt imenial white human i tar i an s would hare been shocked, and because he wished to ne the South ern negroes as instruments to accomplish their own dostruetion-and (hey bare bee? thus used. All the wise negroes who desire real political and social equality in the State, ought promptly to uko advantage of the liberality of the private sentimentalists and Congressional knaves to get a passage to Liberia. By. waiting too long the ardor and money of these fellows will grow ema! jr by degrees and uglier less. Eren in Africa, Sambo will not likely be allowed to remain in peace for any great while, on account of the startling in crease of the ubiquitous white man, and from a climatic cause, which will be explained after first stating how a climatic cauie eame to fcavc much to do with abolishing slavery in the South, and why the same cause will prevents negro suffrage from being established here. The dettrpction of ne gio Bravery/ja^e JJnited Sutes, -nu der the molt fi.vorable circa matan e ey was only a question of time. The trat normal movement of a dense population in the temperate regions is toward a similar climate either in aa Eastern or Western direction, or to high table lands southward, al climate depends as much on elevation as on latitude.

During the war the million of men in "the Federal Arm j bed ample opportunity to ase er tads. ail thats feat?. Contrary to all expectations, etan of Souhoroer^ both the Federal and Confederate armies camped ' and slept on the naked ground often, in tact? usu ally with no canopy but beaven, and with perfect impunity, in all sorts of weather,'both lbj day and by night, ?ai all seasons of the year, o vet is the rice fields of Carolina, or in the sugar aw.vmpe of Laosiana; The moment this salubrity of the Southern elimata became known io tho hr dy Teutons of the Federal 'Arm/' (for the bulk of that army were either Germans or Irish, not Yan kees,) that moment the fa to cf slavery and of the llave was sealed; Those soldiers determined so longer to permit tie negro,' with an indefinite prospective increase of his race, in a state of sla very, to comber, the ground in such a country, to tho e'r eic ?ion of the'white'man ; and these ro tara ed soldiers are the voters who hare bf en giring such heavy majorities against the Radicals of late, and they ?re.the' won who will commxrod'their former Commanded in ?be next Presidential elec tion. For .perhaps-., wo year? after th? commence ment of the war, most of the Federal soldiers were- strcnglyopposcd to the abolition of slavery, but for months before -tha'-end of the wn?? and mostly from th? cause just indicated, that army were almost unanimously in favor-of destroying the institution. Therefore, at the close of hostil ities, President Johnson knew tknt it was idle for him to try to redeem the pledges he had given at .* a Sonator in regard to Biavery^ ard he bail been most foolishly, as well as unjustly abused for net essaying to make good those pledges.' Since the South formally abolished slavery, tt c President has stood hy her with sm honesty, ability, courage and fortitude that entitle him to our gratitude, not to our denunciations. The only thing'for which no patriot, either North, South.
