the following interesting paragraphs
from the Barnwell Sentinel, of Satur?
day:
A good deal of cotton has already
l>een planted in our District. Let
onr farmers take care to reserve some
cotton seed, as a heavy frost is pre?
dicted to occur near the clese of this
month. If it comes, the demand for
cotton seed will exceed the supply.
The efficient officers at this post
are forcing the freedmen to abide by
the contracts which they have made.
Runaways are returned to their em?
ployers, and aro expected to meet
their obligations in good faith.
In a case decided by tho Provost
Circuit Court between Benj. Roberts
and his freedmen, we see the inaugu?
ration of a very proper movement
that where freedmeu violate their
contract they will not be entitled to
their share of the crop.
A Catholic Cathedral is being built
at Pekin, the capitol of China, with
a spire that will make it one of the
most conspicuous objects in that city.
The Catholic missions, begun 300
years ago, have been making constant
progress in Chiua, and it is said there
are now 3,000,000 of Catholics in that
country. There is also a Catholic
church in the Chinese quarter of San
Francisco, California.

j Another Speech from the Pmiiim i
Ou Wednesday evening last, in
Washington, a procession of soldiers*
anrl sailors waited on Px*esident John?
son, tending him their grateful ac?
knowledgments for his recent order
giving preference in appointments to
those who had performed' honorable
service to tho country in the army
and navy. The assemblage num?
bered many thousands of citizens,
besides soldiers und sailors. In re?
sponso to tho address delivered by
the committee, the President made
tho following remarks :
It is not affectation in mo to say
that language is inadequato to con?
vey the heartfelt feelings produced
on this occasion by your presence
here, and by the presentation of your
sentiments ns expressed by your re?
presentative in his address, and in tho
resolutions which you have thought
proper to adopt. I confess that in
tho peculiar posture of public affairs,
jour presence and address give en?
couragement and confidence to mo in
my efforts to discharge the duties in?
cumbent upon mo as Chief Magistrate
of tho republic. And in what I have
to say, 1 shall address you in the
character of citizens, sailors and sol?
diers. I shall speak to yon in those
terms, and none others.
I repeat my thanks for the mani?
festation of your approbation and of
your encouragement. |Applause.]
Wo are to-day involved in ono of the
most critical and trying struggles
that have occurred since this Govern?
ment was spoken iuto existence. Na?
tions, like individuals, must have n
beginning-must have a birth. In
struggling into existence, a nation
passes through its first trying ordeal.
It is not necessary for mc now to
carry your minds back to the struggle
when this nation was born. It ?snot
necessary for mc to allude to the pri
j rations und hardships of those .vhc
engaged in that struggle to achieve
? tho national birth. It is not neccssa
j rv to point to tho blood shed une
: tlie lives lost in accomplishing thai
. result. The next ordeal througl
I which a nation has to pass is whoa i
1 is called upon to give evidence that i
I has strength, capacity and power t<
j maintain itself among the nations o
j the earth.
I In giving such evidence, we passet
through the war of 1812, and througl
the war with Mexico; and we passe*
through all the struggles that hav
since occurred up to tho beginning o
j the rebellion. That was our sccont
ordeal! Put a nation has anothe
test still to undergo, and that is t
! give evidence to the nations of th
earth, and to its own citizens, that i
I has power to resist internal foes; thu
it hos strength enough to put dow
treachery at homo and treason with*
its own borders. [Cheers.] We hav
commenced that ordeal, and 1 trus
in God wc will pass through it stu
cessf idly. [Cheers. ) I feel comp!
mented by the allusion of your repn
sen bit i ve to thc fact that J stood i
the ?Scmito in 18G0 and 18G1, who
the nation was entering on this thir
ordeal, and raised my voice au
hands against treason, treachery an
traitors at home. [Cheers, and exit
of "good."] I stand hore, to-da;
holding to and maintaining tho san
principles which I thou enunciate
[Cheers. ]
I stand herc, to-day, opposir
traitors and treason, whether they 1
in the South or in tho North. [Lou
j cheers. 1 I stand here, to-day, as
then stood, using all my power
mental and physical, to preservo th
nation in passing through tho tliii
phase of its existence. The orga:
ized forces and combined powers th
J recently stood arrayed against us a
i disbanded and driven from the fiel
j but it does not follow that there a
? no enemies against our present for
! of Government and our free instit
tions. [Applause. ]
I then stood in tho Senate of tl
j United States, denying the doctrii
of separation and secession. I ?
nied then, as 1 deny now, that ai
I State has thc right of its own will
separate itself from tho other Statt
. and thereby to destroy the Unii
; and break up the Government ; anti
j think I have given somo evi den
I that I have been sincere and in ei
; nest; and now 1 want to know why
? is that the whole train of slanderei
? calumniators and traducers have bc
j barking and snapping at my bee
j [Cheers ] Why is it that they arr
themselves against me? Is it becai
I stand on the side of tho people? a
when I say tho people I include t
sailors and soldiers. [Cheers.] W
is it that they nr<? arrayed in traduci
and villifying and calumniating n
Where wore they during thc rebellio
[A voico: "Home, in bed." Lang
tor.] In the Senate, I raised i
voice against it; and when it v
j believed that it would bo to tho in
, rest of the nation, and would ass
in putting clown thu rebellion, die
not leave my place in tho Senate
place of ?molument, ease and (3
Unction-and take my position win
: the enemy could bo reached, a
where men's lives were in danu;
[Cheers and cries of "That's so."]
While I was thus exposed pcrs<
ally and publicly, and in every w
sonn; of my present traducers a
calumniators were far removed fr
, the war, and were enjoying case e
comfort. [Cheers and laughter. ) J
I caro not for thom. I care not t
slander, tho foul whelp of sin, }
been turned loose against me. I c
not for all that; and let me te'l j
I here, to-day, that, although pretty well
advanced in life, I feel that I shall live
long enough to live down the whole
pock of traducers and slanderers.
[Applause.] They have turned the
whole pack loose to lower me in your
estimation. [Voices: ''They can t do
it."] Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart,
little dogs and all, came along snap?
ping and snarling at my heels, but I
heed them not. [Cheers.] The Ame?
rican people-citizens, soldiers and
Bailors-know that from my advent
into public life to tho present mo?
ment, I have always stood unyielding
and unwavering by tho advocates and
defenders of their rights and inte?
rests. [Cheers. ]
We are now in tho nation's third
ordeal. We are not yet through it.
We said that States could not go out
of the Union. We denied the doc?
trine of secession, and we have de?
monstrated that we were right-we
demonstrated it by tho strong arm.
Yes, the soldiers and the sailors. God
bless them, have demonstrated by
their patriotic hearts and strong arms
that States have not the power to
leave the Union. [Applause.] What
followed? The Confederate armies
were overpowered and disbanded,
and there was a willingness on the
part of the people of those States to
come back, be obedient to the laws,
and acknowledge the supremacy of
the Constitution of our fathers. For
what have wo passed through this
third ordeal? It was to establish the
principle that no State had the power
to break up this Government. It
was to put down the rebellion. The
rebellion has been put down, and for
what? Was it to destroy thc States?
[Voices: "Xever."] For what have
all these lives been sacrificed and all
this treasure expended? Was it for
the purpose of destroying the States?
No; it was for tho purpose of pre?
serving the States in the Union of our
fathers. [Cheers.] It was for that
you fought; it was for that I toiled;
not to break up the Government, but
to break down tho rebellion and pre
I serve the union of these States. Thal
! is what we have been contending for,
j and to establish the fuct that tin
i nation can lift itself above and beyone
intestine foes and treason and traitors
? at home.
i When the rebellion in Massachu
setts was put down, did that put Mas
, sachusetts out of the Union une
i destroy the State? And when tin
i rebellion in Pennsylvania was pu
j down, did that destroy the State ant
' put it out of the Union? So who
! the recent great rebellion was pu
j down, and the Constitution and law
I of the country restored, the State
i engaged in it stood as part of th
j Union. The rebellion being crushed
i the law being restored, the Coustitu
! tion being acknowledged, these State
j stand in the Union, constituting
j part of the glorious and bright, ga
I baxy of States. |Loud cheers. ]
I In passing through this ordeal
j what has been done? In Tennessee
under the direction of my lamente
predecessor, we commenced the wor
of restoration. Wo had succeeded
before I came here, in restoring th
relations which had existed betwee
Tennessee and the rest of thc Unioi
with one exception, and that was tb
relation of representation. I carnet
Washington, and, under extraord
nary circumstances, succeeded to tb
Presidential chair. What then? Ti:
Congress of the United States ha
adjourned without prescribing au
plan. I then proceeded, as I ha
dono in my owu State, under tl
j direction of tho Government, to r<
store the other States. And how di
we begin? We found that the peep
had no courts, and we said to tl
judges, the district attorneys and tl
marshals, "Go down and hold yoi
I courts-the people need the tribune
! of justice to be opened." Was the:
!' anything wrong in that? Tho cour
were opened. What else? We look?
out and saw that the people dov
there had no mails. They had be(
interrupted and cut off by the oper
tions of the rebellion. Wc said
the Postmaster-General: "Let tl
people have facilities for mail cor
munication, and let them beg.n aga
to understand wdiat wc all feel ai
think-that wo aro one people." W
j looked out again and saw that the
I was a blockade; that the custo
houses were all closed. Wo sui
"Open the doors of the custom hon
and remove the blockade. Let true;
commerce and the pursuits of pea
i be restored;" and it was donc. \
thus traveled on, step by step, ope
' ing up custom houses, appoint!
collectors, establishing mail faciliti?
land restoring all the relations th
j have been interrupted by tho reb
lion. Was there any thing undertake
! to be done here that was not antin
1 ized by tho Constitution, that was i
justified by the great necessities
i the case, that has rn.it been clea:
I concurrent with the Constitution a
the genius and theory of our Gove]
1 mont? I Cheers. ] What remain
j to bo done? One other thing
I mained to demonstrate to the eh
ized and Pagan world that we li
passed successfully through the th
ordeal of our national existence, a
j proved that our GovemmCi t \
perpetual.
A great principle was to be resto]
' which was established in our revo
tion. When our fathers were c<
tending against the power of Gr
Britain, what was ono of tho prirj
pal causes of their complaint? It >
I that they were denied repr?sentai
! They complained of taxation with
j representation. [Cheers. J Ono
: the great principles laid down by <
! fathers, and which fired their hen:
was, that there should be no taxation
without representation. How, then,
does the matter stand? Who has
been usurping power, and who has
been defeating tho operation of the
Constitution? And what now re?
mains to be done to complete the
restoration of these States to all their
former relations under the Federal
Government, and to finish the great
ordeal through which we have been
passing? It is to admit representa?
tion. [Cheers.] And when wo say
admit representation, what do wo
mean? We moan representation in
the constitutional and law-abiding
sense, as was intended at the begin?
ning of the Government.
And where does that power he?
Tho Constitution declares in express
terms that each house, the Senate
and House of Representatives, each
acting for itself, shall be the judge of
tho returns of election aud qualifica?
tions of its own members. It is for
each houso to settle that question
under the Constitution, and under
tho solemn sanction of an oath; and
can we believe that either house
would admit any member into its
body to participate in the legislation
of the country who was not qualified
and fit to sit in that body and parti?
cipate iu its proceedings? They have
the power-not the two houses, but
each house for itself.
Tho Constitution further declares
that no State shall be deprived of its
equal snffrago in the Senate of tho
United States without its consent.
Then where do wo stand? All that
is needed to finish this great work of
restoration is for the two houses re?
spectively to determino these ques?
tions. "Oh!"' but some will say, "a
traitor might come in!" Thc answer
to that is: Each house must be the
judge; and, if a traitor presents him
self, cannot cither house know that
ho is a traitor [applause], and if ho i;
a traitor, can they uot kick him ont
of tho door and send him back, say
ing to tho people who sent him
"You must send us a loyal man?'
[Cheers, and a voice. "That's tin
logic. "J Ts there any difficulty abou
that? [Cries of "No.no."]
If a traitor presents himself b
either house, cannot that house sa;
to him, "No, you cannot bo admit
ted into this body. Go buck. W
will not deny your people of th
right of representation, but the,
must send a loyal representative.
[Cheers.] Aud when the States d
send loyal representatives, can yo
have any better evidence of their i.
delity to tho Constitution and laws
There is no ono learned in constiti
tional law who will say that if
traitor happens to get into Coiii^re
the body cannot expel him after h
I gets in. That makes assurance doubl
J sure, and conforms tho action of tl.
I Government to the Constitution <
; our fathers. Hence, 1 say, let i
] .stand by that Constitution, and i
; standing by it tho covenant will 1
preserved.
: While 1 have been eontendii
j against traitors and treason aud s
I cession, and the dissolution of tl
Union, T have been contending at tl
i same time against the consolidate
of power here. [Cries of "good."]
! think the consolidation of power he
; is cquallv dange rous with tho sepnr
j tion of the States. [Cheers.] Tl
' one would weaken us and might n
j into anarchy, while the other wou
i concentrate and run into monarch
! I Cheers and cries of "Can't do it.
! O, but there is an idea abroad th
one man can be a despot; that o
I man can bo usurper, but that a hu
elrod or two hundred mon cannot.
Mr. Jefferson, theapostlcof liberl
tells us, so does common sense', tl
tyranny and despotism can be ox?
cised by many more vigorously a
moro tyrannically than by one. WI
! power has your President to be
tyrant? What can he do? Whatc
: ho originate? Why, they bay, he i
ercises tho veto power! [Laughte
; What is the veto power? [A voice
? "To put down the nigger. Eau{
i Who's your President? [Scve
; voices-"Andy Johnson!"] Is he i
! elected by the people through t
' electoral colleges? Tho Presiden!
, nothing more than the tribune of 1
people. His office is tribunal in
character.
In olden times, when tribunes w
first elected in the Roman Rep iib
they stood at the door of the Ron
i Senate, which was then over-reach:
; on tho popular rights, and putt:
! the heel of power on tho riecks of
people. The people chose a trihi
and placed him at tho door of
Senate, so that when that body v
tared un oppressive act ho was clotl
with power to say "veto"-I foil
j Your President is now the tribune
I the people, and, thank God, 11
j and I intend to assert the po'
j w hich thc people have placed in i
i [Cheers.]
Your President, standing here i
after day, and discharging his di
j is like a horse ou tho tread-wh
I and because he elares to diffei
I opinion in regard to public measu
; ho must bo denounced us a usui
and tyrant. Cau ho originate a
thing under thc veto power? I th
the veto power is conservative ir
character. All that can bo demo
the veto power is to say, when le
j lation is improper, hasty, unw
I unconstitutional, "Stay, stop act
j Wait till this can Vic submitted to
people, and let them consider whet
it is right or wrong." [Applause
That is all there is in ir. Hem
say that tyranny anel power car
j exercised somewhore elie than by
1 Executive. He is powerless. Ail
ho can do is to chook legislation-to
hold it in a state ef abeyance till tho j
people can consider and understand i
what is being done. Then, what has
been done? I have done what 1 be?
lieved tho Coustitutiou required me
to do. [Applause. J I have done
what I believed duty aud conscience
required ire to do* [Cheers.] Sol
believing, I intend to stick to my
position, relyiug on the judgment,
tho integrity and the intelligence of
tho masses of tho American people
tho soldiers and sailors expressly.
[Cheers.]
Then, for my life, I cannot see
where thoro is any tyranny. It is
very easy to impugn motives and
suspect the purity of the best acts of
a man's life. If you come forward
and propose a certain thing, your
motives aro suspected and con?
demned; and if you withhold your
opinion, you aro regarded as being
opposed to the matter, so that it is
very hard to move ono way or the
other, so far as certain persons are
concerned, in all questions pertaining
to thc interest of the great masses of !
the American people, for in them is
my hopo and the snlvatiou of the
country.
I am with you, citizens, soldiers
and sailors. Who has sacrificed or
imperilled more than the humble in?
dividual who addresses you? Has
not my all been put upon it? My
life, my property-everything sacred
and dear to man-have been staked
upon it, and can I now be suspected
of faltering at the close of this third I
ordeal of the nation?
Who is he, in publie or private lifo, j
who has sacrificed more, or w ho has
devotod more of his time and ener- ;
gies to the accomplishment of the 1
great end than ?? And I have done ?
it from the promptings of my own !
heart and conscience. I believe 11
was right, and with your help aud
jour countenance and your encou?
ragement, I shall go through ou that
line. [Cheers and laughter.]
And when I come to talk about
sailors and soldiers; about this to be
done and that to be done, all I want
is for you to wait uud see, so far as
the future is concerned. Wait and
see if I do not stand by you, although
every other may falter and fail.
[Cheers.] I want to see measures of
policy brought forward that will ad?
vance the interest of thc people of
that portion of the people who have
, constituted the gallant ami brave
men who, in both branches of the
service, have upheld the national flag
and sustained thc country in the re?
cent struggle.
I thank you, gentlemen, for the
encouragement. I thank you for
your countenance on this occasion.
; lt cheers me on and gives me strength
to perform the work before me. If
i we are true t;; ourselves-if we are
true to the Coustitutiou, the day is
; not far distant when this Government
1 will bc restored. Let us enlarge the
; area of our commerce aud trade. Let
I us not only inspire confidence at
? home, but respect abroad, by lettiug
j the nation resume its career of pros
'? perity and greatness.
As the President closed his speech,
he was loudly aud continuously
! cheered. The band performed some
more patriotic airs, and the immense
j crowd dispersed.
