The President’s opinions especially with reference to the freedmen, havo been so Wi fuily misrepresented in the Radical press of this country, and Lis general policy toward the Southern Staten has been exposed 10 80 mueh ugjostifiable pervereion, that Mr. Jobnson's own esplanations on both these subjects may have some weight even with those who are most embittored agaiust him. The President first adverted to the condition in which be found the country on bis accession to office, and pointed out that ever since that time the Radical party, which now has the control over Congress, bad been preparing for the issue forced upon him. Their object was manifest, aud it was one which, from their point of view, they could scarcely be blamed for pursuing so eagerly. They knew perfectly well that when the South came back into Congress their duy of power would be over—the Southern representatives would stand s a unit; they would probably fall into alliance sgain with the Demo- cratio party, the old issues of Slavery vnd State sovereignty would be dead and buried, and the party which now ruled would be tripped of it power. Their talk about philantbropy aud benevolence o the negro meant nothing more thau a de- sire to work upon the feelings of the Nortis so that they uight be enabled to carry everything their own way. It was a re- wewal of an old confict. The two sections of the country were ready 10 go to war before the Rebellion broke out—the one to preserve Blavery, the otber to destroy it. Each side was willing to sacrifice tbe Govermment in order to gain its objeet, The Sooth straek first; t bellion was subdued at the Southern end of the line, and now it is awinging round 10 the other end. “Tuess men,” contivued the President— aud he always used theso words to denote the Radical party— “*are almost ready to go into rebellion again rather than have thei¢ supremacy destroyed by the reintroduction of the South. They kuow notuing practically of the real state of the Soutn. T ery man who bad draws up the Ci il Righta bill—what are bis means of Judging? 1 left him in the Seuate during the war, ud"nl out to Tennessee and saw it all, and bore my share of troubles. He stopped at Lome, and now endeay- ors to make bis theories square into the eveuts of the war, and Jegialate oo ideas which ho has never put to tho test.” §'he President then went on to speak of Slavery and the negro. o said he had been brought up under the very shadow of the . He bad bought and owned slaves, but had a doubt as to the the Govern up, be n conrse which be ooght to pursue: he decided to give up Slavery, and be abided by that decision. But the South now would treat the negro with greater kinduess than the North if it were left alone and not exasperated. *They talk of justice to the negro, ’ contivued the President; ** God kuows my beart yearns toward him when I thiok of the end which these men prepariug for him. 1 see that end clearly enough ey are going the way for a conflict of races. n that occars we all know how it will fare the megro.

Passing from this subject the President said that the Radical party in Congress talked to the people as if they bad to fear some act of oppression on the part of the Executive because the Civil Rights bill had been vetoed. *But the veto power, could pever be wade au engine of oppression. It v & negative force—it originates nothing, 1t can only say when Jt sees unwise or unconstitutional legislation at- thing & little further, Pass the DULIE you will by atioual twothirds ma- 7ity, but I think it well 1o give you an_opportunity to think o egain.’ They have pum{ the Civil Kights Dill, and it will ot be long before & judge is arrested for carrying out the Jaws of his State.

He continued with greater anima- tion: * My conviotions are firm and strong, and strong con- 0 to completo the circle I will. Then I say most Leartily that I would that I could depart in peace.” 80 far s I feel at llbor7 10 repeat them, were the re- marks made by the President. 1 beliove that ropeated 1 bis very words in most instances, but there were many illus- trations which he employed which I am unable to recall, and in & conversation of nearly two bours there must necessaril! be s great deal which I cannot pretend to remember witl sufcient sccurscy to repeat. ‘That the President is as firm and unshaken aa ever, it was impossible to doubt after listen- I;r.l: him.
