The visit to the White House on Monday last of a numerous delegation of citizens, represent- ing nine of the late insurgent States, was a most agreeable, interesting and important affair. Those visitors were presented to the President as calling upon him “for the purpose of mani- festing the sincere regard and respect” they entertained for him, and “to express their sin- cere determination to co-operate” with him “in whatever shall tend to promote the interests and welfare of our common country,” and, fur- ther, to express their loyalty to the Union and their confidence in his disposition to exercise all the leniency toward the submissive South “which can be commended by a sound and ju- dicious policy.” Thus frankly approached in behalf of the Southern people, President Johnson met this delegation in the same frank and manly spirit. Reminding them of bis course toward his “Southern brethren” when they were about to plunge into the suicidal policy of armed rebel- lion; how he had pleaded with them to fight their battles in the Union, and how he was met with taunts and jeers, and scowls and threaten- ings, and how his course hao been vindicated by the results of the war, he now accepted these Southern men as saying to him, “We made the issue; we sot up the institution of slavery against the union of the States; the arbitrament was the sword. Both the questions presented have been settled against us, and we are prepared to accept the issue.” Recognizing them in thie capacity, the President, in the course of his remarks, reminded them that slavery is gone, that the status of the negro has to be changed, and that they must tecognize the fact and adapt themselves to circumstances. The dele- gation respondad, “We are willing to doso.” The President believed them, and that every pledge or promise they made would be faith- fully carried out. “It will,” was the response. The President then on all sides urged a gener- ous spirit of conciliation, forgiveness and for- bearance, and promised that in this spirit, guided by the landmarks of the constitution, he should pursue the work before him. Who can doubt that the effect of such a meet- ing and such a speech as this will be produc- tive of substantial and lasting good through all the length and breadth of the South? How can such assurances of conciliation and good will be resisted? The same fraternal spirit prevailed at Mr. Seward’s reception of these Southern visitors, at which several members of the Cabinet were present; and thus all doubt ae to the Southern policy of the administration is dispelled. It is the simple policy of accept- ing the submission of the late rebellious States in good faith, and of restoring them to a full communion in the Union as quietly and as fast as possible, in order that their vast agricultu- fal resources and their great commercial sta- ples may be speedily made not only to repair the desolation and destitution of the South, but to strengthen the national Treasury and to as- sist us of the North in lightening the heavy } burden of our national debt. | Thia-is the poltcy of President Johnson—the poliey of restoring the disorganized $ States to the Union, to lew and order, industry tion, forgiveness'aad traternity—the policy of the constitution, anf sound, practical. common sense—the policy which ‘attracts the Northern democracy in spite of their copperhead leaders, and which holds the bulk of the republicans to the administration in spite of their fanatical, boisterous and threatening Jacobin radicals. Wendell Phillips presents the alternative of negro suffrage or repudiation ; Chief Justice Chase mounts the hobby of negro suffrage as the head of a new Presidential party; the Boston Board of Trade write a letter of instruc- tions to President Johnson on the virtues of negro suffrage and the dangers of neglecting it; Horace Greeley presents negro suffrage as the infallible patent medicine, the magical pan- acea, the life pills and phenix bitters that alone can save the country from its numerous all- ments. But Thaddeus Stevens, the famous Pennsylvania abolition oracle, giving negro suffrage the go by, flatly proclaims the necessity of universal Southern confiscation, in order to escape the maelstrom of repudiation or uni- versal bankruptcy and universal ruin. He pro- poses to reduce the Southern States to the condition of Territories—to turn over the lands of their people to the auctioneer—to turn those people out of the country (the rebel whites), as the Moors were turned out of Spain, and to rebuild on the basis of the loyal black popula- tion. Such are the pernicious delusions of abo- lition fatiaticism, and such are the @lements which will be combined agatnst President Jobhn- son in the coming Congress, What is the prospect? The republicans in both Houses have an overwhelming majority, The party leaders in each house, including Sumner, Wileon amd Thaddens Stevens, are leading radicals; and, #0 far as their purposes underourrents of public against them.

In this view, has not th’¢ time arrived fora voice from the city of New York? The Freedmen’s Bureau= ‘The Freedmen and Uther Helpless \"ersons- The war bas left a great man{V Diggers un- provided for—broad-shouldered, g,zantic Sam- bos, well developed, greasy werches, and pickaninnies indescribable and innwxerable. It is said there are four millions of all sorts and sizes. They are scattered over the whole South, from the Potomac to the Mississippi and the Rio Grande. They are herded in cabins and camps in Tennessee, and hidden in swamps in Sonth Carolina; they are hunting the possum and the coon in Old Virginny, and have squatted and made themselves at home on the old plan- tation in Georgia, Alabama and everywhere else. It is feared that they will not be happy. Somebody is afraid that somebody else will oppress them; that they will be made to exert” their immense muscle in a little labor, such as hoeing in the cotton and the corn, and that when it is all done the little white man who makes fifty or sixty big niggers do this labor won’t pay them more than fifty per cent of what itis worth. And so, to guard against such a la- mentable result, we have established a Freed- men’s Bureau to watch the interests of the nig- gers, to see that they get their rights, that they are not imposed upon, and that white men be- have themselves. Now, there are also in the country another four millions of very helpless persons, who are constantly in danger from the tyrannical spirit of cruelty and injustice of others—four millions whose lives are in continued misery by reason of the injuries they have received and the injuries they fear, and for whose protection the laws and social usages now in existence are utterly insufficient. These four millions are white—they are the women and young girls who are poor and depend upon their own efforts for a living. They are at the meroy of every one; and though it is pretended by some imaginative writers that woman holds an elevated position in Christian countries in the nineteenth century, these poor wretches do not receive respect or even decent usage. They are the victims of the gimlet-eyed trades- man, who wears their lives out by hard service and poor pay—the victims of landlords, who charge them fifteen dollars a month for privi- lege to sleep in some dog kennel, and they are the victims of brutal husbands and fathers, who come home at night seething with rum and beat themr into shapelese masses. They are oppressed and wronged by every one. Shall we have a bureau also to take caro. of this latter four millionst Will the government erect a tribunal of summary. justice to hear and determine in all oases that relate to wrongs done to these women and girlst Will it pro- tect those who cannot protect themselves? Will it feed them when in want, provide them comfortable clothes, and see that they receive no harm from whatever source? And if the government will not do this, how absurd is ita act in making its immense provision for the protection and assistance of the gigantic nigger and his brood!

The opening address, delivered by Major General Sickles, which we give in our columns to-day, was an able aad in many features a most important intellectual effort. General Sickles very judiciously de- voted himself to an elucidation of the valuable contributions of American art and acience to the purposes of war, as illustrated during the recent rebellion, and he haa put upon record many ourious and interesting facta in relation thereto, which will doubtless strike the world with astonishment and admiration. Taking all the different departments of the service, he shows how the skill ot the mechanic, the inventive genius of our people and their wonderful adaptability to circumstances unfore- seen and occupations in many instances to them, effected things which to na- tions tralned-in the achool of war would have. tigu—read the extraoniinary revolution they effected in naval warfare; to the reme and ‘torpedo boats that bafffed the skill and defied the bravery of the enemy io our harbors and rivers, The number of mechanics employed by the government dut- ing the war exceeded that of the victorious army at Waterloo. But it was in the Quartermaster’s Department that the most wonderful examples of energy, precision and force were displayed, for which there is no parallel in military history. “If,” said the speaker, “the trains of the Army of the Poto- mao had been put in motion on a single road toward Richmond, the head of the column would have entered Richmond before the rear was out of sight of the Capitol at Washington. In the Quartermaster’s and Ordnance Depart- ments at Nashville, in the summer of 1864, more than fourteen thousand mechanics and laborers were employed in providing material for the armies operating in General Sherman’s department. The storehouses of the Commis- sary of Subsistence at the same post contained provisions for one hundred thousand men for eight months, or twenty-four millions of ra- tions, besides forage for fifty thousand horses for an equal period—that is to say, one hundred and sixty-eight millions of pounds of oats, corn and hay. These stores, besides vast num- bers of troops and all the sick and wounded, were transported over a single track railroad, crossing many rivers and trestlework structures, for more than three hundred miles through Tennessee and Georgia, a hostile country, in the face of constant attack from an enterprising and daring enemy.” In the Subsistence Depart- ment, which supplied « mifion of soldiers with food and clothing; in the Ordnance Department, in whtch twenty million dollars of capital and twenty thousand mechanics.were. employed in the manufacture of arms at one-fourth the cost of those imported from foreign countries; in the Medical Department, with it stationary and travelling hospitals, and the omnipresent 00-op- eration of the Sanitary Commission, the same energy and vigilance were over at work.
