The Senate, it pppears, refused, after a few paragraphs, to hear the message read, and the House, instead of referring it, as' custamn ary, to .h'le Committee of the Whol4 d.it-upon the table. T .df- discourtesy to wards " et Jo-rrson, can can n6 ' him in public es timat - -diparage tiie - truths, which he declares. They cannot prevent his ut erances fi om' bar ing theie,Tu*-weight with 'an im parti;,itSory. The trw.t h is not thus either to be stifled or sup pressed. WINIre wilI be no injury eith lr Johns,n or to the causeM pogses, fr'M this course. The S8 te nd lonse. have only condemned- themselves.-. T h ey have ,thihited a wanit of common courtepatd. degree of 1 artisan ship, wb chzefkets. credit neither upon thsi statesmanship or patri otism.-; t -e:rayed a petty spirit nd, a short sighted policy, which jill eaedemn them in' the judgment 4f every right mind. Pre4t JQbnson states but what alt contemporaneous .history allirms, when he says that. by the. applica ni9of the simple, yet ef fective iion* Qithe Constitu tion, the Executive Department, with tfe 'vduntary aid ut" the SoutherwStas; had when Con gress asseled at the close of the civil Sefa W in December,'- 186, brought the work - of restoration to the verjke-ge .of completion, with the p}ot eirtaint prospect of early and satisfactory adjustment of all exising .dfi&uhies. - And of this there can exist no doubt. The whole country are witnesses of this truth. Posterity with its unbiased pen will record this fact to his honor, and to the justice of his administration. * But as the president forcibly puts it: "Congtaa intsvened, and refusing -to p6rfet the work yo * nearly consummated, declined to admit memj from -the unrepre seated tes-.adopted a seri'es of measures idiek~ arrested the pro gress of restoratiob;'frustrated all that had -been sadeesfully' accom plished, and after three years of agitation and ANty~has -left the country farther from the attain ment of union and fraternal feel i.ng, than 'at the' inception of Con gressionDceastruction." Here, a. few anid concise words, we b ve a statement.of the truth in ataforce and vigor. - It is brief,b none'the less forcible or convineing. No wonder that Congress shut their~e'ars to this clear con<ffnination, and endear ored to eespe, 'before its enunei ation ! TQgIabled it, and thus is was untggin full by them selves. The ostrich bides his head in the sandsand aipposes his body unseen. Congress buries thbe Mes sage upon the table, and supposes that it willinbus. be neither heard or red by -the- country. They have thus placed themselves on a level with the ostrich for wisdom. President Johnson is magnani mous where he calls upon Con. gress to repeal the tenure of office Dill, which, while holding the Ex .outiue accountable for the con duet of affairs, disables him from~ the power of appointment and re moval in accordance with the original design of the Federal Con stitution. And again the same elevation 01 .ind is d.ispad where he in vokes the revocation of those pro- I visions which interfere with the 5 President's constitutional fune tions, as Commander-in-Chief of the army, and which deny to the States of the Union, the right to v -protect themselves by means of 2 their own militia. n This last act was clearly an in- t fringement of the Constitution, o that "a-well regulated militia 'be- c ing necessary to the security of a d free State, the right of the people o to keep and bear arms shall not t be infringed." -e With the knowledge that the, a Radical party has prevailed against ii his counsels, and elected a Presi- S dent of their own choice, he yet c asks from the common country a revocation of those acts of part isan legislation, which, "can be produe- I tive of no permanent benefit to ti the country, and which stand as t so many monuments of the defi eient wisdom which hascharacter- y ized our recent legislation." t While president Johnson has p encountered danger and trouble ii with tranquility and firmness be c has shown a quality of mind which e h.as raised him above revenge. He n invokes fhr General Grant that f which has been denied to himself. e His call for retrenchment and p his appeal arrais st profuse expen- j diture is well timed. 'I he expen t ses of the Government a're at this t day (over three years since ho- 0 tilities have ceased) three hundred g and seventy-two millionsofdollars. ti In other words, the national ex- t penses am unt. in proportiin to t the population, to nearly ten dol- 1) lars per capita. This is certairly a remarkable Z statenent,and one well calculated ' to challenge the attention of the o country. t We concur with him that some a arrangement should be made- to c control the public debt, and to i prevent its becoming a permanent e feature of, and an increasing incu bus on the Government. t As for the resumption of speeie t payments, we have but little fiith a in the various theories proposed. t We believe there is but one way C to really accomplish this desired '2 result. That is in the quaint V words of another, "The surest way i to resume, is to resume." - I We regret to learn that the t commercial and industrial pursuits of the country are in a languish- t .ing condition. The cry conmes up,t however, from all parts of the land. C Weo cannot but think that this is I in a great measure owing to the I effects of th1e "-injudicious legisla- e tion of the government since the ~ war." As for the acquisition of Cuba, San Domingo, and the Islands ad jacent to our coasts, with the con sent of their respective Govern ments, this would doubtless add to the power of the country, but as a c whole it is not so clear it would 5 inere ase ei.ther its security, or hap pinless. KPresident Johnson has illustra-t ted in his Message every subjectr of pu'b.lic concern. It does him in-( finite credit as a statesman. It is a clear justification of I is -course I now. It will prove more effectual, hereafter. The time will come. and thait at no distant day, wheni his accusers will be condemned,t and when posterity will hear andf commend those sentiments to ': which the Senate and House, un- f der the influence of party passion. have defiantly stopped their ears.r Fi,rry NEGKOEs IN EDGFFELD JAIL.

The following letter at this time 'ill be read with peculiar interest. Iow as heretofore, we uphold the ecessity of friendly relations with lie freedmen of absolute ireedom f political opinion, of greeting or(tally all honest men who cone own to us from the North, and f Joing all that we properly may r win the eonfidence of the got. rnment. We hope that the views nd remarks of Mr. Boyce, who is t a positii)n to know of what he peaks, w ill receive a calm and arefal ci,usi:eratiou Wa sm! w ;roN, December 9. Col o;i c;.J. P. Thomas-DEAR SIPR: n pur.suaciie oi my promise. briefly ) give you my impressions as to he poliiical situation. I did not, sooner comply with our reque"t; because I thought be titme was not propitious. The assions engeodered by the Pres lential election did not permit a alm consideration ofevents. The lection of Gt,neral Grant settles uch of the past, and opens a new iture to us. General Grant's lection is the ratification by the eople of universal suffrage, sub ct to the Fourteenth constitu ional am :.tdment, and establishes e legality of the existing State rganizations South, which have rown up under the Reconstruc on acts ofCongress. Such being ie case, I think our people ought accept these results as accom lished facts. The election of eneral Grant means yet more. 'he convietion exists North, with lie majority of the people, that pinion is not free South, andihat be political action of both whites nd blacks is sut ject.to duress, pro. eeding to the extreme, in some istances, of actual v-lence and en political assassinations. The election of General Grant is be protest of the North against bis alleged condition of affairs nd means that all the power ol be -Federal Government will be x'erted to put~it down. It is the anger ar-ising' out of this matter, r hih strikes me as t he most alarm ag circumst anees of our political iture. Unless this cond(ition of hings is s upp)ressedl by the volun ary action of the Sout hern States e muost decided measures -wil .I hink, bie reso.rted to by the Fed. ral Government to cure the al aged evil; and General Grant, as residenrt, will, I have no doubt norce these measures of repres ion energetically, with military [rce. This would naturally pro uce more revolution South, and ts results-might lIe a series of th( nost deplorable consequences. In view of this state of things think it is a matter of the great st importance that the Southerr tates should make t he utmost ex rtions to remove all alleged cause: f complaiant on this subject, and bus anticipate and render un mecessary the action of the Federal lover'nment.. As additional inducement to thu ne of action on your part,] vould remark that.what you want bove all things, at the South, I: nternial harmony. If you hac his von would receive a large in lux ojf wbit e population and capital 'his wouiI he of incalculable bene it to yC u, lioth in its influence or our material interests and a~ elievin yo( u from the appre ensions arising from universa uffrage. Tlhie obstacle to your receiving his ppulation and capital nowv s the ai,prehension which exist: s to 1he anarchial condition o: our11 society It is a striking fael hat both the great political par es of the country have though1 t to be their interest to represen1 southern society as in a conditior >fchronic insecurity and violence he Democrats, in order to shov he nvils nf'nniversal suffrae : ant the Republicans, to illustrate the disloyal sentiment of the people, and tlheir consequent unfitness for any part in the control of the Fed eral Government. Between these two sets of representations, the movement of population and capi tal to the South is almost entirely checked. It is your policy to have it believed that order reigns su pre South. Hence you ought to do everything in your power to make okier the fact, and to promulgate it. You should, I think, keep several ideas promi nently in view as your policy: 1. You ought to regulate the relations between the whites and the blacks, so as to have as much harmony and gor,d feeling as pos sible between them. To this end. nothing is so eficacious as kind ness to the blacks. 2. You ought to have perfect tolerance of political opinion. Let every one, white and black, vote as he pleases, and trust to your tact and natural influence for a just share of political power. 3. You ought to cxtond a cor dial and a kind welcome to the North.ern people to settle among you, without regard to their politi cal opinions. Oiee you did this, the troubles of the future would be largely overcome, and your material progress would be won derful. See what immigration is doing for the North-west, in spite of its austere climate.' Think what immigratiOn would do for the genial South. 4. You ought to seek to concili ate the Federal Government. Re member the Scripture injunction, "Agree witithir adversary quick lv." The Federal Government for the present. and for years to come, means the Republican party. Do not wage a frantic war against this party. Remember that the Demor-ratic party is not strong enough now to be of any service to yon. Be calm and conciliatory, and wait the course of events. It would be fortunate if you were in that independent condition that both parties North would bid for your support. 5. General Grant will, I think. earnestly desire to inake his ad Iminisiitrationl national,, and to re store real peace and harmony to to the late heligerant sections. A moderates coniservat ivg cor rse on the tart of the S<mth wilt faicilitate his p)olicy in this direction. 6. In conclusion, the thing you~ waunt is peace. To get pec.-o must procure it by peaceful means. Let the Repubheans and Demo erats North wage a .bitter war aainst each other, if they choose ; your cqndition calls for more re serve. Yours, sincerely, WILLIAM W. BOYCE. WmISKEY AND NEWSPAPERS.-A n exc'han ge paper, in discussing the relative mer'its and estimated va Iue of these two articles, says: A glass of whiskey is manufactured perhapsfromaozen~grains ofecorn, the value of' which is too small to estimate. A glass of this mixture sells for a dime, and if of a good brand is considered well worth the money. It is drank in a mnute or two. It fires t he brain sharpens the appetite, dleran ges and weakens the physical sy'stem. On the same sideboard -on w hich the deleterious beverage is served lies a newspaper. It is covered with half a million of types--it brings intelligence f'rom the four quarters of' the globe'. The news paper costs ha-s ihan the glass of gro-t he inuice of a few grains of corn-but it is no less strange than true, that there is a large nunm ber of people wvho think corn juice Icheap and newspapers dear.

The expected meeting took place in the Court IIouse, on Mon day, to consider the labor ques tion, and a large number of plant ets participated and showed an active interest. The special com m-ttee to whom the subject had been referred, submitted their re port. We would be glad to fur nish it in full, but we haven't been supplied with a copy. So far as we could gather, it covered these prominent points: That prominent Radical negroes should n.t be employed as laborers: that a laborer should be employed for the year, and all his time subject to the call of his employer; that white labor should be encouraged in preference to Radical negro labor; and that those colored men who acted with the planters in the recent political election, are entitled to their earnest support and sympathy. There was no antagonism in the meeting to the su{)statnce of the report. After a protracted discussion, in which many gentlemen participated, the meeting adjourned wit hout action. After all, this subject of labor for the Southern planter and farm er, involving the political and ma terial future of this country, must be regulated by higher laws than mere resolves of cross-road and county meetings. One idea, prom inent in the discussion, was that negro labor should be diminished gradually, but should commence at once, and steps should be taken to supply the labor dropped with intelligent white labor. Our Southern products must not re tard, but advance, in amount. To this end, let the political neigh borhood societies. be converted into farmer's clubs for encourag ing; immigration, and to unite with the State Immigration So cietA which will be formed in January. Let us not sleep, but be awake to participate in every movement of progress. to devel ope the wealth and independence -materially-of our State and sec tion. :By-the by, in the discussion of Mondahy, a proposition was sub mitted to regulate the sale of ag rieultural products, by a certain class of persons who are supposed to be inspired with the spirit of old John Brown anid New Eng land nmorats, and who have ideas ofC?meum et tum? niOt always r'ecog nizedl in old fahioined courts om justice. Eminent.ly proper. In the case of laborers, the same rule2 of requiring certificates of ebaracter, should apply here which anphes in old England, and even in moral New England, where every man, woman and child, black and white, is supposed to be as honest as the days are long. These practical matters should be regulated by rule in every locality, and hence the ne essity of a District fatrmer's or ganization as well as local clubs. (La urcnerile Herald.

Dr. Thomas Fuil Ir, it is fe2ared, covers the case of many others besides himself: "Lord I discover an arrant la ziness in my soul. For when I am to read a chapter in the Bible. before I begin it, I look where it endeth ; and if it endeth not on the same side, I cannot keep my hand from turning over the leaf, to measure thb length thereof on the other side ; if it swell to many verses, I begin to grudge. "Surely, my heart is not rightly affected. Were I truly .hungry after hevenly food, I would not coimplain of meat. Scourge, Lord, this laziness of soul.
