FRIDAY, MARCH 9th, 1866.
ARE THEY EMANCiIPATED.—It is asserted.on all sides that the South has accepted
the abvlition of slavery asa fact, and ac.
quiesced in the Amendment to the Constitution. In form many of the -rebel States
have dove so, but occasionally utterances
come to us which demonstrate the hypocriay of the rebel leaders and show that they
“aecept the situation” for the parpuse of
force of arms. Ina recent letter to Gen:
Fisk, of the Freedmen’s Bureau, Yancy of
ner Woman in thé whole. South recognizes
the negro as a freedman, but as stolen property forced by the bayonets of the damnable United States Government.’ This is
no douht toa great extent true-The
“game spiritis manifested in the legislation
of these States upen—questions concerning
passed, compelling negroes to serve one
man for an entire year or forfeit wages up
to the time of quitting. “A negro who leaves
his-employer may be arrestéd.and returned
to;him. “The poor black may appeal toa
Justice of the Peace, but during the investigation the law places him at the mercy. of
his employer. The lash may be laid upon
him to enforce subordination, the master
being .of course the judge of the necessity
for punishment. The whole police force of
the State is to hunt him downif he leaves
his place, and when found he is to he remanded to servitude. If ‘‘any person give
negro or mulatto, any fuod, raiment or other thing,” jhe is to be fined and in default of
payment immediately imprisoned, and be
liable also for damages to the employer of
just ns much a slave as ever. There is not
a single provision for the protection of his
rights. Itis not all surprising that freedamen do not work, when a contract made
with a white man places them in such a
position. With such a jaw_as this, President Johnson wants to admit the Mississip.
pi delegatign inte Congress aud restore that
What
guarantees has the National Government
that such States will not repeal the Constitu“tional Amendment as soon as they are restored, on the plea that it was forced upon
them as Yancy states? The reasons upon
which rebel States will base their action
are these: By the Constitution of the United States the President has no power to
Vegislate either for the Federal or State
Government. If he has no power to legiss
late, he has no power to dictate and enforce
legislation; and these peints established,
whatever he he has done or caused by mili» lary force or threat-to be done in the matter of chunging State Constitutions, is iteffect.
Seward based his proclamation abolishing
slavery upon the endorsement of several
Southern States, and if they repudiate and
Johnson should succeed in placing the Government in the hands of rebels and copperheads, who can tell whether the Constitus
tienal Amendment will be respected? The
policy of the President is enviruned by a
thousand dangers. He is pursuing a course
which is bound te resurrect slavery aod
make it as dangerous to the nation as ever.
The only safe course to pursue is tu stand
by Congress in the work which it bas undertakén. Let the nation carry out the
policy proposed in Johnson's speech of ac. eeptance and deprive traitors from all partidipation in political matters until they
have done works of repentance. Let all
guarantees be secured by amendments to
the ‘National Constitution, and let those
amendments be ratified by States in regard
to the position of which, in the future there
ign question. By such a course emanci:
pation will become forever settled and the
spirit of tréasen and slavery will be utterly
crushed,

from a pile of rocks, supported upon timbers.
He fell a distance of about twelve feet, and

region of the kidneys and bowels. Medical
assistance was at once sent for. It is
thought that the powerful constitution of the
patient will take him through. Martin is at
the Wisconsin Hotel, where he is receiving
the very best attention.

FREE AMERICAN.—We have received the
first number of this paper, published by
George C. Gerham in San Francisé¢o. It is
proposed to devote the paper exclusively to
the reconstruction of the rebel States, and to
sustain the position taken by Congress. The
Free American is intended for gratuitous
circulation. The publisher solicits aid from
Union men pledging that every dollar shall
be applied to the printing of the paper without charge for his own services, or any’
other purpose. The first number of the
paper has sixteen columns of excellent

the aid of all loyal citizens. al

SECRETARY Seward mockingly charges
that Congress, which body contains a score
of gallant Union Generals, 1s dissatisfied
with the anarchy in the Southern States
which he is pleased to term a “peace,” because that department had no instrumentality in ending the war. Such an insult to
the representatives of the people, who did
end the war, comes with a bad grace from
the leader of the corrupt faction in New
York, which, in 1862, in the midet of civil
war, contributed to the election of Horatio
Seymour—a man who truly addressed the
anti-draft rioters in New York City as his
friends—to the Governorship of the great
central Empire State. The.noble hero who
was defeated in that memorable campaign
—General Wadeworth—did help end the
war, and gave up his life onthe battle-field of the Wilderness. The thousands in
New York who mourn his fate. will not aid
the Seeretary in exalting those by whose
hands he fell.
