What is the Freedmen's Bureau ?
It is a department of the administra
tion of the Government which looks af
ter the interests of the freedmen. Four
millions of slaves have become recog
nized by our laws as men. They are
the nation's wards. The Bureau is their
guardian.
- Weak—it protects. them. Starving—
it feeds them.. Naked=-:-it clothes them.
Trampled under fdot—it defends them.
Ignorant—it teaches-them; Crushed
beneath a shameless despotism; that
made it a crime to teach, them to read,
and a virtue to barter and degrade them
—they are being lifted np by a friendly
hand, to a higher scale of - intelligent
manhood. The Bureau is that kindly
hand. It - is the freedmen's safeguard.
But the " Moses of the negroes' de
liverance" (?) would strike clown that
safeguard. True, he does heroic things
on paper, in promises, and by his much
speaking. He baits his hook with hon
eyed phrases and fine words ; but the
veil is thin—the mask is rotten ;—a flim
sy, sickly abortion—transparent as the
wind.
- What does he, in act? Vetoes the
Bureau bill and the Civil Rights bill,
,(operative, neverthelesS,) which guar
antee 'to' the• blacks-only the common
anclfundamen ta„l rights of every human
being; the right to say hiS soul's his
own ; the right - to his own- body ; the
right to defend his life against the as
sassin's knife ; the right to his own fam
ily; the right to hold property ;—and
subject to the •laws, without the right to
help make them.
And what will this dispenser of post
offices, and his party, have They
- would unite with the rebels, to accom
plish the work that they began, by in
augurating war, and undo the work that
the:North accomplished by the war.—
They would hand the blacks over to
those ferocious wild beasts, with velvet
on their teeth and claws at present ; but
who still stand ready to tear the Union
in pieces. Thf , y would again consign
the freedmen to the loathsome depths
of their former servitude; or, failing
that, keep them in their present igno
rant and helpless condition. They would
call—they do call—the frightful butelie
ry.of scores of innocent men—innocent
of everything but loyalty—" a com
mencement of elierveseence" 7 (A com
mencement, is it 7) They - would gratify
their old prejudices and savage instincts
—eaten into their very marrow ; failing
which, they would, 1 candidly believe,
overwhelm the country in- a common
ruin !
And what do they fear ?
They fear the devotion of the negro !
E?or_noth, they have some reason to tear
it. They fear his loyalty. They fear
his war record. They fear his claim for
suffrage. They say they fear amalga
mation ! Great Iteaven! ComplexVod

practices prove that you scarcely know
the difference between black and white.
How manyalaveholders, I wonder, who
have not dealt iu their own flesh and
blood ! It would be like gathering figs
of thistles. Ah, well, time at last brings
all things-even ; the very wrath of their
enemies shall yet be turned to their ad
vantage. _Wq sb) , elt see.
The nation owes it as a sacred duty to,
carp for its freedmen. It would be the
basest ingratitude .to 51.1rrender.•them
into the hands of - men who hate them
with the hate of devils. - Whenthe fate
of the Government hung trembling in
the balance, we bad to learn at last that
there was safety for vsin dark skins and
braivny hands. And what did they not
endure! What heroism, bray.ery, and
unmurmuring-, loyalty, they displayed!
They stood what uo whitesoldiers would
stand without mutiny : promised thir
teen dollars a month—paid seven—and
shot if they grumbled f Rather a deli
cate'modesty, it must be confessed, that
in a, life-and-death struggle would re

"Esan and His Mess of Pottage."
Almost every town of note through
out the entire Union is being furnished
with au apt illustration of the career of
the scriptural'Esau, who bartered away
his birthright for a mess of pottage.—
Postmasters - . tax , Collectors and Asses
sors are fast being beheaded to. give
place to the weak-minded, mercenary
seekers of governmental patronage, who
purchase their temporary gain by abju
ring the doctrine:sof freedom and truth,
which they have hitherto professed to
hold sacred,- and pledging themselves )
heart and Soul, to the treacherous doc
trines of the faithless Andrew.
The position in which some of these
modern Esaus are placed, is truly ridi
culous; heartily despised by thcirform
er political and social friends, and,their
consciences tortured by an occasional
.reviving spark of manhood, their only
consolation is in the contemplation of
the scanty and fleeting " mess of pot
tage" for which they sold themselves,
and which must soon pass into the hands
of more trustworthy men. Here is an
instance in the experience of one of
these pitiable outcasts. Andrew's guil
lotine had reached Lancaster city, and
off went the head of the worthy Post
master. For a time the office went beg
ging; but a search warrant process was
instituted, and a successor was found, in
the person of a respectable old citizen,
who yielded to the seductive influence
of anticipated gain.
Now it happened that the same eve
ning in which these arrangements were
completed, there was a Republican mass
meeting in the city, and the worthy cit
izen's wife, true to the supposed princi
ples of her liege lord, illuminated her
dwelling from garret to cellar.
The Johnsonians saw it, and on the
morrow the poor old citizen was inter
rogated as to its meaning. He replied
that he was busy iu the back part of the
house, and knew nothing of the matter
until too late to prevent it. Days passed
on, the old gentleman grew exceedingly
nervous and irritable, and finally, in a
tit of despair.caused by the stiugings of
a guilty couseienee, he , ought the be
headed Postihaster, who had not yet
ceased his official duties, and said : "For
God's sake, take this thing hack, it is
no place for an honest man, and I don't
want it."
Thus it is. There may occasionally
I;Jund one of the-e erring, creatures
with sufficient remaininggrace to retrace
his steps. But woe to those who disre
gard the warnings of on outraged pub
lic, and retain their inheritances of
shame at the expense of the regard and
e-teem of their fellow citizens,

7-30's and 10-40's—all the greenbacks
and all the natidnal banks were created
by this Congress of tw en ty-t 'avec States.
President Johnson says it is an"
smiled Congress"—therefOrk , not legal.—
His supporters and friends call it a
"rump Congress," a " usurping Con
gress." therefore not a lawful Congress ;
and they are trying to 'flea Congress
men in the North, and admit enough
from the rebel States to enforce this
" policy."
Cougre , s of twenty-three States
is not a lawful Congress, every United,
States Goad you own, - and your vaeon
backs Arid bank notes, are worth ;noth
ing?' because .an unlawful. Congress
c Ald not make a lawful bond or lawful
motley—and your money is as worthless
as your bonds.
If Johnson's " policy" succeeds, it
brings into Congress ninety-tour Con
zressmen from the rebel States, instead
of eighty-five, as before the )var, Thus
they gain nine Congressmen by their b-Pu
son. The Northern States lose, nine
Cbnyressmen by their victory , over trai
tors.
If the rebels get their ninety-four
Congressmen, andthe Johnson , "polidy"
men elect enough inAhe North to give
them a majority, United States bonds
will bit held illegal, and United States
bondholders will lose )wincipal and in
terest.
If you want to prove Congress illegal,
and the bonds illegal, vote to elect Cop
per—Johnson—National—Relit:l—Union-
Congressmen, who oppoze the constitu
tional amendment, so that the national
debt may be repudiated when they get
into power, but be SUIT to eell all your
bonds first, for there will be no market
for thcsin aftcrwardiz.
If you want to prove Cong - re , •; legal,
vote to sustain it—the party that crea
ted the bonds—the party that fought
and won the war—that says Congress
repre , ents the people- 7 that is pledged
to keep faith with the hoinlholdtaad
thus secure the adoption of the consti

Remember, also—our loans are depre

to get rebels back inaZCoOkress, and by
their votes cid - what they could not do by
their arms—destroy our national credit.
