Cim'S REPORT ON 801THKBX AfKAIBH.

dent of the Vr.ited Slates i In reply to your
note of Deo. IStb, requesting a report from
.roe, giving inch information as I may be pna
eessed of, coming within the scope of inquiries
made by Ibe Senate of the United States In
their resolutions of Deo. 12tb, I have the hop
r to submit the following, with your approval
and that of the Secretary of War t.
'. I left Washington city oo November 27th,
for the purpose of making a tour of inspection
through tome of the Southern State lately
ia rebellion, and to see what ohangea were
necessary In the distribution of the military
forces of thu country! bow these force could
b reduced and expense curtailed, and to
learn, a far aa possible, the feeling of the
Citizen of the Stale toward the General Gov.
eminent. The State of Virginia being so no
oeaaible to Washington, and Information from
this quarter being readily obtaiued, I hastened
through without conversing or meeting with it
citixena in Charleston, S. C. two days ; in
Savannah and Aognsta, one day. Doth in
traveling and while stopping, I saw much and
conversed freely with the citizen of theso
States, a well aa with officers of the army who
have been stationed ainoug them.
TJie following are the conclusion come to
by me : I am satisfied that the mass ul think
ing men of the South accept the present situa
tion of affairs in good faith. The questions
. which have hitherto divided the sentiments, of
the people of the two seotions, alavery and
State rights, or the right of a State to seoedo
from the Uuion, they regard a having been
fettled forever by the highest tribunal that man
resorts to. I wa pleased to learn, from llm
leading men whom I met, that they not only
aeoepted the decision arrived at aa Anal, hut
now that the smoke of battle has cleared away
and limo has been given ft r reflection, think
this decision ha heeu a fortunate one for the
Whole onuutry, they reoeiving the like benefit
from it with those who opposed them in tho
Held and council.
' Four, yeara of war. during which the lawa
were executed only at the point of the bayonet
in the State in rebellion, have left the people
pusaihly iu a condition not to yield that ready
ohedieuoe to oivil authority that Americans
have generally been in the habit of yielding.
Thia woold render the prewuoo of ainali gar
rison throughout the State neocaaary until
nob time a labor return to the proper ohau
nel and tbe oivil authority la fully established.
I did not meet any one holding office or place
under the government, or loyal citixena ol the
8oolhero Btate who thoaghiit nraolioahlo to
withdraw the military from the South at pres

There ia aoch universal acquiescence In the
authority of the General Government, in the
entire country visited by me, that the mere
pretence of a military force, without regard to
aumbere, is ofBoeut te maintain order. The
good ef the country requires that foroe be kept
in the Inferior, where there are many Freed
men. Elsewhere in the Southern Suites now it
it neoeesary they shonld all be white troops,
and the reasons for thia are obvious without
rationing either ef them. Tbe nreaenoe of
the blaok troop dennrallie tbe laborer, both
by their advice and by furnishing within the

see that both contracting parties comply with
thoir engagements. In some case, I am sorry
to say, the freedmen'a mind does not teem to
be disabused of tho Idea that a froedman has
the right to live without proper prospect for
the future. Tho effect of a belief In tho di
vision of land is idleness and accumulation in
camps, towns and cities, In such cases. I
thioK it will be foond that vice and di-ensewill
lead to extermination or great destruction of
the race. It cannot he expected that opinions
held by the men el the South for yeurs can be

will require for a fuw years not only laws to
protect them, but the fostering caro of those
who will give them good oounael mid on whom
they oan rely. The Freedmen'a Uureau, sop.
arately from the military establishment of the
country, require the experience of a separate

know what the other la doing and what orders
they are aoting under. It seems to mo that
thia could be corrected by regarding every of
ficer on duty with troops in the Snnthern Stales,
na an agent of tho Freedinen' linrenii. and
having all order from tho head of the Bureau
aunt through tho department. I consider this
would oreate a responsibility that would effect

would preserve order in such instructions from

relieve from duty and pay a large number of

A KKTKOSPECT A FKW WOBDH TO TIIIMK
1Mb MEN.
The year 1805 has oompassed the fulfillment
of many prophecies, the most important of
which, and probably only recond in import
anoe to any other in the past, is the following :
" I believe this Ooremment fanmt endure perma
nently linlf slave and Imlr tree. 1 do not expect the
union lo nv aininiprii. i no nni expect inn
lOllMC to
full, but I do expert il will cease to be iliviiM It frill

neiit at Hlaveir will arrt tlie further spread or it, mid
place it where the pnbllu miixl tloill rest iu the heller
that It is in the uourxe of ultimate extinction, or its nd
rootles will push It fornuril till it slnll become alike
lawful in all the States, old a well an new, North us
well at South."
The above prophecy waa ottered by Abra
ham Liuooln, in a publio speech at Springfield,
Illinois, on the 17th of Juno, 1858. It but
been a little more than seven year since that
honest politician gave to hi country and the
world so remarkable a prediction made mnro
remarkable by tbe fact that it author, then a
citiien in private life, and comparatively un
known, was seleoted by an over-ruling Provi
dence to beoome the chief actor in it consum
mation. " There ia a divinity that shapea our emit."
In the great conteat between freedom and
slavery, of which Lincoln' remarkable speech
above referred to, may properly be considered
a mile-atone on the way, men have been driven
by the great rvtnt of tho lime from their
plaooi, a partisan and politician, to the
atanding of patrtota and citizen, or of traitors
and alien. No period in the history of our
country is to deserving or the nttenliou and
study of every man, who deeirea to be the true
friend of his conntry, and to act with that party
which seeks only the best Interests of his land
and nation, aa the few brief yeara running from
the annunciation of the above prediction to it
fulfillment.
Wonld It have been believed at that time
that the great majority of tho Democratio party
of the year 1838 would have turned traitora to
their Government in 1801 some making open
war to dissolve the Union and destroy the Gov
ernment, while others, Usa nmnly but equally
orliuinal, would refuao to aid the Government
in opposing the rebels, and go even further.
and oppnae and revile their constitutionally
elected President in attempting to enforce the
lawa enacted by the onmmnn Congress of all t
If Lincoln had predicted the latter statement
also, in 1858, the Democracy would have "torn
him limb from limb," and yut if he had, be
would have but spoken the sober truth.
And now. in tho morning of ibis year of our
Lord 1800. after the battle for Ireedom baa
been fought aud won, and w4jeu this same old
Democratio party is appealing from the very
housetops, to the people, for a restoration of ita
leader lo power mid place, let us tee what
there I In the past few year to encourage nr
permit th people te reinstate the Democratio
parly.
In the year 1854, the member of the Dem
ocratic party In Congress repealed whit Is
kuown a tho Missouri Compromise being a
oonipromiee entered into between the free and
alav Btate at the time of the admission of
Missouri into lb Union, and which prohibited
tbe introduotion of slavery Into any of the uu
organized territory of the United Slate north
of a certain line. While this compromise nev
er legislated alavery info any territory, it was
a eafegard to freedom lo the extent of which it
prohibited ita extension north of a named bouii
dary.
In 1850, the Democratio National Convert
lion, at Cincinnati,
&uiTif, Tti.it we reenrnlar the rirlil nf lh rwr.'

without doroelle slavery, and be adimltrd Into the
Union upou lerata uf perlecl eiiulily with the oilier
BUies.'
After the above fair and unequivocal prom
ie to the people, Jatue Buchanan, aa the
agent of th Demecralio party, endeavored to
impoae a alave-Stata conat lotion on the people
of Kansas, against their expressed wishr and
protestation. Farther than Ihitt after the
people of Kaataa had formed and ratified, by
overwhelming majorities, a free-Stale eonetilu
linn, tbU ui Deinnoralio party kept Kauaaa
out ef th Union for two year, and until after
the toce salon of aoma of the Democratic Slate
South
In 180(1, th Democratic party again met in
National Convention at Charleaton, South Car
olina, and inttead of reaffirming what Deinn
oralio editor are pleased to eall th " linmata
hie, uuchaugable and infallible principle of
Dewooraoy," th g r r a t Democratio
pMly divided Into two opposing and warriug
faction. On faction rramrined the Cineio
nali platform, and the seceding faction kieked
up thereat, and adapted a slave-code platform.
Each ef the faction nominated candidate for
th Preidency DougU on the Cincinnati
platform, and Breckinridge of Kentucky, and
je. Lao of Oregon, ea tbe slave cede plal

eri( the sinion pure tiling. And so they
went before the people. As a matter of moral
certainty, the people got disgusted villi that
kind of Democracy a Democracy that could
not agree to a Democratic platform a Democ
racy that woold not permit the mnjoriiy to con
trol a convention and elected Abraham Lin
coln, tho liepublican candidate.
Now what did this same Democratic, parly
dot After they had nominated they candi
dates and voluntarily went into the election nf
1800, and voted for President and Vice Presi
dent in every State in the Union, what did the
State which' elected the Breckinridge and
Lane ticket do when the result was announced?
There was no pretence that Mr. Lincoln was
not constitutionally elected. Did they abide
by the old Democratic usage and dootrine, and
cheerfully submit to and support the constitu
tionally elected President 1 Tho whole world
knows that, with traitor heurl and pnrricldul
hands, they immediately turned upon. (heir
country, aud for more than four years hey la.
bored with all their effort to destroy it. They
refused to lie bound by the ninjority vote ; they
refused to be bound by the Constitution and
law which mndo Abraham Lincoln their Pres
ident ; nnd more than this, Ihey refused a guar
anty Unit the new administration should not
interfere with their" peculiar Institution," and
openly and unhlushiugly confessed their trea
son, by declaring that they hnd been secretly
preparing the rebellion for thirty yrars, Thoy
continued their mad carver until treason, re
fusing to he stayed, assailed the flag and honor
of the country, hy firing on an unarmed Gov
ernment ship, and by the bombardment of an
inoffeuiling U. 8. fort.,
After treason had thus mado open war upon
the Constitution, the laws and tho Government,
bow did the Democratic party of tli.i Northern
States net? All tho honest and patriotic men
nf the party immediately abandoned it, and
uniting with the Republicans, formed the Union
party, to aid in saving I he country from tho vi
olence and treason of iho traitora. Hut the
balance of the Democracy those poor, miser
able, God-forsaken, selfish mortals, who ea
teemed their party of more consequence tlinn
their vounlry udhered lo tho old Democratic
tub which treason, had scuttled, and slicking
around on the chime like mud turtles on a log,
they would occasionally run their head nut of
their shells uf treason and selfishness, nnd
squeak out, "Giro ilia South her c-o n s t i
t-u-t-i-o n-a I rights,'' Vou never can whip
tho South," "Ilio hiirruh for liio-JeiT. Duvis
In 1804, the Democratic party, after repeat
edly desiring the Government to give way to
the traitors, and aflcr the Democrats in Con
gress had lime and again proposed to go, like
shivering cowards, and beg peace of the traitors
on any terms they might propose, held a Na
tionul Convention at Chicago. (Jeff. Davit
and other Southern lender nt Richmond did
not attend.) At thia lust Convention, the De
mocracy resolved that llio war lo put down the
rebels wns a "failure," nnd completed their
ignominious farco hy running n war cni'dtdate
on a pence platform. A few mouths after put
ting forth tlrs piliful platform, the Democracy
suffered tho inexpressible mortification nf see
ing their much beloved Southern brother, Jeff
Davis, put Inflight, his confederacy overthrown,
his army of good constitutional democrats made
priuo.re, J,.fl" himself captured in his wife's
petticoats, and Iheir "war-n failure prediction"
brought lo naught, and Iho Union party every
where gloriously triumphant.
And now, ufler thia courso of double dealing,
inconsistency, failure, fraud, dishnuor, coward
ice and treason, nnd after the Uuion party hud
triumphantly put down thia Democratic rebel
