Tits Freedman's Bureau
• One of 1--ifeatest - humbugs- under
ilik),\
the S . • is •6 at infamous organization
known the
the 9ree'dmati'm 'Bureau, nu
tlet. the '
perintendefice . ef 'General
lloward, an rtny officer, more zealous
than successful; with headqtytrters at
Waltingtint. Under, the 6perakious of
1.114 system the nogrowl at the South are
beeomiog • lazy, indolent anti slothful,
•
nod instead of benslitting them, it is
working their ruin. This Bureau is also
ft vast eispeuze to the Government, tilt
already the Ilead Overseer hut; asked
for twelve millions of dollars to insure
thd successful workings of the system.
The negroes, instead of raising cotton,
rice, sugar and tobacco, as in former
days, wheu all those articles Wore cheap
es dirt, are now lying around in idleness,
while these productions of their labor,
under the good old system of slavery,
eannot now be obtained except at enor
mous outlay. . •
But the party in power, in its: incp
lion of the Freedman's Bureau, had two
objects in view ; namely to put money
into the pockets of some of its adherents,
and to make Wait engine ot 'test politi
cal power. By putting the control of
four or five or six millions of ignorant
negroes, North as well as South,' into
(he hands of a few white men, as officers
or overseers, and sending a number of
contemptible Yankee missionaries among
them to teacitlitheld the peculiar, and
horrible doctrines of Abolitionism, nod
then coufering upon them the right to
vote, the dominant party hoped and
still hope to create a new element of rad
icalism, which, in time, may °verbal'.
ince the whole Democratic strength of
the South, and assist to sustain thorn in
their plans of unconstitutional overthrow
and political pgp,ranlizeuicut. By this
Tast &chomp of courruption and deceit,
they hope to retain hold of the reins of
government, and plant their unholy feet
atiil morn firmly upon the necks of our
suffering people. In this way they hope"
to control the future elections of the
eouutry t and to keep in their own hands
all the emoluments of power and place,
while imposing upon an already over
taxed audiebt-ridden people still greater
tariffs and still more abundance of pa
per money.
New England, that land wherein the
hallowed memories of the past , arc
shrouded in the pill of many and recent
deeds df infamy—that land whose -slan
derous tongue waked to hOnorkble rebel- 1
lieu the noble and generous hearts of
the South—that land to whose skirts
will cling forever the.stain of dead men's
blood and widows' and orphans' tears—
that land to whose machinations are due
the bloody fields of a fratricidal war,-
that land whose infamous arm hurled
the thunderbolts of destruction into the
midst of a devoted and peace loving peo
ple, and set them to spilling blood like
wati► -is also at the head of this ether
great scheme of plunder, 'robbery and
corruption. The teachings of Sumner
and Wilson and Wade and Ste., ens and
John Brow e and Garrison and Philips

uwakening anticipations of Wretchedness,

The people Lave long been patient
under grievances too oppressive to be
borne. They have buffered, in silence,
through the night of eindliet, disaster,
and stern), hoping and longing, for the,
cowing of a olearer and brighter day on
the morrow. Already the morn of
peace had dawned, and the first beams of
its rising sun were tinging the hill tops,
dispehing the gloomy cloudsof war,
and waking the country to renewed
hopes of life and joy, when, like a speck
"no bigger than a man's hand," far out
on the distant sky, was observed this new

One of the Senators from this district
dodged the eAuestion and is npt um:ill the
record as voting either for or against it.
Ciiwardice, we suppose, propented him—
fear that his constituents were or were
not in favor Of the measure.
White men of the district, what think
you of-such doctrine? Are you willing
to say, with abolitionism, that ,you are
in no wise superiar to the intedent, ig
norant,- lazy negro Are yon willing to
cling to a party that seeks to undo the
workOof the 'Creator by attempting to
abolish the distinctions He has made
between the races? Have you a desire
to see negroes.controlling the flattirs of
oar State, and legislating for you and
your - childroa ? Can you endorse men
who favor sash infamous ideas? &col-
It;et, that not an abolitionist in the *tate
Sedate voted egotist the resolutions
endorhing the action .of Congress, in en'
franchising the negroes of the District
of Columbiav - and remember that not one
of them but would vote to ratify an
amendment to the United States Con
stitution. giving them the same rffivi
lege in Pennsylvania. Aro,ou ready
to march up to . the polls, elboW to elbow
with a negro, and cast your ballet ? Are
-you rend to sit in the jury boa with him
—hold office, with him, and ask his ad
vice as to her/ the affairs of government
should be conducted? The men whom
abolitionists have placed in power say
you are. It-you are not, come out from
among that foul party, and support those
who labor to preserve this as a govern
ment of white men.
Anything to Suit
After the courtic.ef their reprerentatires in
Cuumese, is there any who will deny that the
opposition to the Dernocraey ore in favor of
Begin. suffragel—Exchange.
'We doll,'t know what folks in your
section may say, but there are abolition:
ists in-these parts, who have impudence,
ignorance, and enough of contempt for
the truth, to deny anything. Half*
them would deny their own parents, tf
they said they were white or belonged
to the Caucasian race. liere they labor
for Rapport; if they meet a man who is
in favor of negro suffrage—they are in
favor of it also, if they tercet one who js
opposed to the inftmous doctrine, then
they are opposed: tb it. No matter how
much their actions coutrad et their
words, they have impudence enough to
Atend up, and tu
,attevit to make honest
men believttlicy tell the truth. Within
the paat.2-w'_days_ we have _conversed
with men, whose names are now appen
ded to petitions, asking that the elective
franchise be oonfered upon all "without
distinction of race or color"—who deny
most vehemently that they are in favor
of negro voting. Consoietice with them
seems to Ye "thrown to the dogs," and
they are willing to say or do anything,
that will aid in degrading the white
man to a level with the negro. Those
who wish to be deceived should heed
what an abolition politician tells them.
No Cup/crib ow OUT.—TIC actions
of the representative in Congress from
this district, and those of Kirk Haines,
one of "our", State Senators; has loft no
room for the abolitionists id this section
to deny that their leaders are in favor of
uegroes voting. The formr of these
individuals supported the bill conferring
the right of franchise upon the nogroes
in the District of Columbia-and the
latter assisted in passing a resolution in
our State Ainate, "approving and com
mending" him for doing so. Hall, "our"
other Senator, dodged the qiinslion.
What say you white men, AO - yaw& or
Wilson, Haines and Hall? Did you not
vote then .nor nogM. suffrage ? .H• you
voted for it unintentionally SIM you lon
ter support them since they have shown
on they are believersin negro equality?
They say ,that a negro, no difference
how black, ignorant., or lazy , jo may be,
is year equal, and. is.better ibia your
wife„daugliter, or son. '

theory of thenroolitioniete, ever since they.

slow, indolent and dishonest in slavery, it
is slavery that makes him so, said they.

"There js nnieerial demand for labor at
fair prices—large prices, indeed, consider ;
ing what-this poor soil produces, and what
the labor is likely to be, and I made every
effort I knew how to induce the negroes to
hire for next. year. Being a farmer myself,
I think I know whittle a fair bargain. .I do
not think fifty bad hired in.my fornierdls
(not when I left it, two weeks ago. They
are offered etch wages and shares In the
crops. If they make a bargain, as some will
-for a short time, the chances are five to one
that they-will not adhere to it. They are
offered better inures of the crops than us
farmers Aker give in Illinois. Meanwhile
they.are stealing enormously.
know mstty plantations la 'Warren and
Franklin where three-quarter& of the hogs
and sheep have been stolen since but June,
and the depletion is still going on. I doubt
if a year hence there will be half hogs
enough to make meat for the people. It is
very difficult to procure testimony from one
negro opined another for theft, They seem
to consider that a propel spoiling of the
Egyptians. I don't know how Ihey can be
prevented from steeling to such a degree as
to make it a serious matter to the planters.
Drunkenness is of course increasing among
them and they are more addicted to it titan
1 had supposed. You know what their do
mestic relations usually are."
The Major, so far from proposing the ex•
tention * .of suffrage to these pedple as a

only ones likely to prove at all effective. Ile

This will,not be palatable to the radicals
