Severe Speech from William Lloyd Garrison. PRESIDENT jpnson DENOUNCED. Mr. Seward Called a "Fallen Lucifer." JEFF. DAVIS OUGHT TO BK HANGED An Extremo Radical View of Reconstruction. 12 to.. Etc. X3tC( lEtO.s 2tO. .From A N. Y. World. The last lecture oi the Fraternity Course "The North Victorious" was delWered last night at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, by Mr. William Lloyd Garrison. Having been in troduced with a very enthusiastic eulogy, and welcomed with tremendous applause, he spoke its follows: Fbikndb and Fellow-Countrymen : This is the hist time I have ever Dad the privilege and the honor of addressing a public audience in Brooklyn, but 1 must present myself on this occasion as 1 have done everywhere for many 3 ears past, as an oilinal, uncompromising (Jar risonian abolitionist. (Applause.) The theme 1 have chosen lor this orcasion may seem to some smgularly inopportune; but when 1 chose it lor this occasion, the astounding event oi the lajt ten days had not transpired. JEFF. DAVIS OUGHT TO BE HANGED. On his succeeding the lamented Lincoln, I was led by the whole body of loyal, liberty loving citizens to nope and believe that Andrew Johnson would be even more erect in dealing with the traitors of tlie Bout than his prede cessor. When he announced to the country that treason was a crime which ought tj be punished, I supposed, as you all did, that be meant what he said; that he had his eye at least upon one traitor, the Colossi's ot them all in crime, Jene;on Davis. If Jefl'. Davis it not hanged by tins Government, then, judging the Government on its own plane, I sav thatic will be recreant to its duty. (Applause.) Or if he is allowed to go free, 1 say then let ns forever abolish, the gallows in th's country in all cases whatever to the end of time, for no man can ever commit crime enough to deserve to be haEged. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S rOLICY. On the matter of reconstruction, about which there may be honest diflerences of opinion. I knew Mr. Johnson had his own line of policy, and that he was disposed to adhere to it with great tenacity; but I did not believe that he wonld venture inflexibly te array himself against Congress, aud HKatnet tbe clear expression of popular will, es he is now defiantly doing. (Ap plause.) Enough that his policy causes univer sal disquietude and alarm among the loyal masses, and that it receives the warai approval ot all Southern Rebels on the one hand, and the Northern Copperheads on the other. As a sagacious mnn, what farther evidence can he need, what further evidence can . he have in his sober senses (applause), that he is; unfortunately on the wrong; track, and, there I ore. should patriotically and immediately retrace his steps. But if he defiantly insists on eoing ahead on that downward direction, then I trast that Congress will stand like an impregna ble wall to prevent his doing so, come what may. (Applause.) Nay, more, 1 would have them wirje out from the slate all tbat he has done in the matter of reconstruction, and bjgin the work anew as alone constitutionally em powered to inaugurate and perfeot it frotn the foundation to the top stone. With all de Terence to his exalted position, I deny tne right of Presi dent Johnson, under the war power, or any other power entrusted to him, to do any more in rebedom than to hold it with a firm military erasp, until Congress shall determine when, how, and where elections shall be held; who shall be allowed to vote, and what shall be the necessary conditions precedent to the readraisslon to the Union of the late self-styled Confederate States. THB ISSUX BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND OONQBflSS. On this point of reconstruction President Johnson takes issue with CoDgress and with the loyal people of the country, upon whose sanc tion and support Congress may rely with abso lute ceitainty. (Applause.) lie insists that those conquered but treasonably disposed States are in the Union as of old, and, therefore, en titled to be immediately represented in both Houses of Congress. Ho ventures to brand that noble body (Congress) as not only contumacious, but gt'ilty of despotic usurpa tion in refusing their admission, with out additional guarantees as to their loyalty. Yet he has not . announced, by proclama tion, either tbat the war is ended, or that peace is rt-stored. Ho continues to hold these Stales in subjection to his will, as Commander in-Chief of the Army and Navy, under the war power, suspending even to this hour the wilt of habeas corpus. Thus he condemns himself out of his own mouth, and fully vindicates the action of Congress a Conyress which, on the score of intelligence, ability, moral worth, exalted pa triotism, respect for justice, and love of imour tial libeity, has never been equalled since the formation ot the Ameiican Government. (Applause, cries ot "that's so," together with hisses.) The usurpation is on bis own part, in attempt ing to bully Congress into servile acquiescence to his imperious demand, tor it is the constlta tional prerogative of tbat body alone to decide when and how States may be taken Into the Union, and it will not surrender that prerogative at the bidding of an accidental occupant of the Presidential chair, even though the powers of hell rally to his suppett. For whatever of vio lence, or tumult, or confusion may grow out of his highhanded order, the dread responsibility will rest exclusively nnon bis own hoa i, and he will be held to a strict accountability by an in dignant and betrayed nation. - , THI VETO. In putting his veto to the bill enlarging the means a sad powers of tbat boneticent aud truly patriotie and Christian department, the Kreed men's Bureau, be has indeed exercised a right accorded to him by the Constitution, but the animus which pervades the veto, and the sophis try which characterizes it, and theuninst allega tions contained in it, will be perceived and pon dered by the overwhelming mass of the humane, loyal, patriotic, and Christian men and women ot the land, ana who in their turn will put an effective veto on him and his pretensions. (Ap plause.) " If there is any disregard of the Consti tution, any disunionisru, any spirit and design, any wish to pervert and overturn our free Gov ernment, it is not on the part of these whe are execrated and abhorred for their unswerving 1 yaTly by the Bouthern Rebels and their North eiu AMupnttmers, but on his part who Is mow rerelvlnir the plaudits of the Rebel) and sympa thizers universally. TUB rKEBIDEHT'S BFBICH. Who constituted the great body of the crowd that marched to the Whi'e House on Thursday last.aud drew from him that speech, which tor its liidi cencv, bombast, maligi ity, and treasonable leaning, there are no words fitly to characterUe, ana tor which, mith either weiehty reasons, he ought t be indicted by that grand inquest, the ITn Ud States House of Representatives, tried by the Penate, and for the peace and safety ot the country dismissed from office. (Loud aud long applause.) That mob was constituted, as every Inval man in Washington knows, of Relels and their copperhead abttors, almost to a man, too low, the vile, and the desperate. These were the backers of President Johnson, rending the air with their iubilant shouts, as he made that harangue which, as it circula'es through the land, is filling nil rebeldom with satanic Inbilation, and all coppcrhcaddom with hope of victory. When the bottomless pit is in full chorus, it is not lor sons of good mn to ioin in tone. (Laughter and applause.) Take that si etch where you may, it the brutal, the drunken, tlie (editions, tlie negro-bating, the tyrannical in sp rit and dosign are there, it will receive their unanimous applause. If, unhappily, here aud there, there are those who are not of that stamp, who also approve that ppcech, then Po'much the worse for them, and the n ore inexcusable and inexplicable is their conduct. Listen to the New York World, the Daily JS'acs, and the Herali, the old trinity dcfuibtd in the ticuptures as "the world, the iksli. rnd the devil.'' Mr. Garrison then rjad pasraees from the editorials which have recently apppprcd in these disreputable papers, with re ference to the President and his late measures, favoring the t udience with a running comment. I1ENBT J. RAYMOND WOK9B THAN A REBBL. He next produoed an extract from the limes, which was received with vehsment hisses. He then said: If you will pardon the bad grammar for toe take of truth, let me say that the Times is out of loint, and its editor deserves a heavier condemnation than any of bis secession associ ates. He, alas I has gone over to the enemy in a nianner which covers with a disastrous eclipje his old fame as a friend to freedom and as the announcer of the iireprcssible eonflict aud the higher law. SECRETARY SEWARD A FALLEN LUOIFEB. You have seen the telegram sent by Mr. Seaid to Pi csident Johnson, at'tnr tae delivery of that intaraous speech. "It is all right and sale; tbe Union is restored, and the country sale; the President's speech is triumphant, and the country will be nappy." (Hisses.) How ait thou fallen, O Lucifer, son of the morninir. It had been inr tptter lor thee to have died beneath the stabs of the assassin Payne than to have survived and forwarded such a besotted telegram to the Presidential leader of ihe Rebel and Copperhead forces ot the country. God may forgive you, but a betrayed people never v. ill. MR. BEEOBBR HAS COT OFF Till TRACK. But what eh all be said, or what shall be thought of the lecture delivered hre a week aeo by the glited, the eloquent (applause), be loved, warm-henrtcd, well-intenttoned, . but straneely-out-olVhc-way Paetor of Plymouth Church ot that portion of it which spoke in eulogistic terras of President Johnson, in con nection with his veto of tbe Frcedmen't Bureau Bdl. I happened to be in Washington when the veto was read to Ceneress, and as soon as I heard it I spewed it ont of my mouth with unut terable disgust, for I don't train in company with the few York World or James Gordon Ben nett. I only wish that Mr. Beecher could have heard, as I did, the admirable speech by Senator Trumbull, in refutation of that veto a speech which showed that the President had either grossly misconceived or wickedly misrepresented every part of the Freedmen's Bureau bill. His speech not only broke that veto in pieces, but Eulverlzed and blew it to the four winds of eaven. IMPARTIAL CRITICISM OF TUB PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. Mr. Garrison then proceeded to read over pas sages from the President's speech on the22d, criticizing them as he went along. He spoke with indignation of the President's attempt to brand some ot the noblest men our country can boast of, whose loyalty is beyond all suspicion or doubt, as fit to be named in tbe same category with tbe 81idells and the Davisas. With respect to the remarks of the President bearing upon the possibility of his sharing the fate of Charles I ot England, he says: 'This artful attempt on the part of the President to assume to be in danger of his life, ta, in my ludgment, simply done lor the purpose of imperilling the lives of Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens, and men ot ihat stamp. TBB PRESIDENT'S MOTIVES AND ASPIRATIONS. President Johnson undertakes to stigmatize Congress as a seditious body, a disunion body. What is the meaning of this? It is to wake np popular vengeance; it is to bring down upon Congress the hatred and the wrath of wild and violent men. 1 tell you we have not a sober man in the Presidential chair, and snch a man with such habits does not know'lrom day to dav, and hour to hour, what he will do, and yet dares to brand the Congress of the United States as a dis loyal, disunion body. He means, if he dare, to perform a coup d'etat, and either insist at the point of the bayonet upon having those Bouthern Rebels put into both Houses of Congress, or drive Congress out of the Capitol. I believe that the capital is In sreater dancer now than it ever was. and were i t not that Lieutenant-General Grant is living, it would De lost, so long as uenerai urant lives and occupies his present position, perhaps his tyrannical demand may not be made. (Applause.) Mr. Ganison closed his lucture with an appeal to the people of the State ot New York to do Justice to the black man, and place him, with repnrd to suffrage, on the same level with the white man. !

VTABnmaTON, February 28. The Katnchy and rnaeNse Freed nen Brigadier-General C. B. Flsk, Assistant Com missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for the Btatt s of Kentucky and Tennessee, reports to Major-General Howard, under data of February 14, that be rogre's lis inability to report the affairs of the Bureau progressing as favorably in Kentucky as in Tennessee. The frecdmcn of tbe State of Kentucky are very generally dis posed to entbr into labor contracts tor wajres or a share of tbe crop, and most of them prefer to remain in their native State to emigrating elsewhere. On the part of a large majority of the wh ts, be believes that theie is an honest desire to adjust on a fair basis the new relations arising from the abolition of slavery, but the Bureau is not a popular institution among them. They regard its presence among them as unauthorlze J, denounce its officials as usurpers and deipots, and clamor for its immediate removal from the State. Tbe opposition of tbe State authorities, the Com missioner state's, bas rcudered It difficult to con duct the Bureau affairs In tbe State with tbe har mony and efficiency which have elsewhere pro duced good results. t Tbe Commissioner further sajs that the 25,000 colored men who have serve! in the army are in many Instances scourged, beaten, shot at, and driven from their homes and families, and ate likewise fined for having in their possession arms whicb they so nobly bore in defense of the Union. The Commission gives a gloomy picture off affairs in tbe State and cities, a score of in stances in which brutal murders of unoffending frecdmen have been committed by returned Rebel soldiers, the murderers in every case having been acquitted by the civil courts. Mora Presidential Beatluente. The President bas expressed his sentiments once more. He was called upon last night by a Congressman and a State Senator, both from New York. They called merely on business, but the President showed some anxiety to express to them bis political views. In the course of the conversation tbe President said that the test oath was a little too severe; that many ot those that had participated in the Rebellion wtre good men to represent the Southern States in Congress, and that the test oath ought not to be applied to them. He added that a mere oath to support the Constitution was all that was necessary; for a man who would tRke that oath was a loyal man. As to the Constitntional amendmett changing tbe basis of representation, tbe President said that no Constitutional amendment ought to be passed until tbe public mind should be quite free iroin excitement and the Bouthern States represented in Congress. Tbe inference drawn here by men who discussed tbe purport of tbe President's remarks, was that the President wants to make tbe entrance of the Rabels in Congress as easy as possible, and has no objec tion to tbe introduction of Constitutional amend ments when the presence of representatives from the Rebel States in Congress renders it quite sure that they cannot be passed. TbeSs.Loata Postmaster. The statement wbieh bas gained currency tbat the St. Louis Postmaster was refused confirmation on account ot au nnfriondly feeling towards the President, and that his refection was Intended as a rebuke to tbe President, is untrue. Jt was ascertained that the gentleman nominated for that office was personally hostile to both of tbe Missouri Senators, and, in ac cordance with a long established usage of that bo ly, be was rejected upon that circumstance and none other, and the President wu so in formed.
