Mr. GRINELL. That is the difference between ounfriendships. I gave supportthen and do now. I propose to read what my frien says in regard to this head. I quote from the language of the President: “Good faith requires the security of the freedman in their liberty and their property. their right to labor and their right to claim the Just return of thoir labor. I cannot top strongly lurge a dispassionate treatment of this subject, which should be carefully kcp aloof from allparty strife. We must equally avow hasty assumptions of any natural impossibility for the 2 racesto livo side by side. in a state of mutual benefit and goodWill.

The country is in need of labor, and the freedmen are in need of employment. culture, and While their right of voluntary migration and expatriation is not to be questioned, would not advise their forced removal and colonization. Let us rather encourage them to honorable and useful industry where it may be beneficial to themselves and to the country; and, instead of hasty anticipations of the certainty of failure, let there be nothing wanting to the fair trial of the experiment. The change in their condition is the substitution of labor by contract for the status of slavery. the freedman cannot fairly be accused of unwillingness to work, so long as doubt remains about his freedom of choice in his pursuits and the certainty of his recovering his stipulated wages. In this the interests of the employer and the employed coincide. The employer deSires in his work men spirit and alacrity and these can be permancntly secured in no other way and if the one ought to be able to enforce the contract so ought the other. The public interest will be best promoted if the several states will provide adequate protection and remedies for the freedmen. Until this is in someway accomplished there is no chance for the advantageous use of their labor; and the blame of illsuccess will not rest on them. “I know tbst since re philanthropy is earnest for the immediate realization of its remotest aims: buttimcis always an clement in reform.

The President now asks that they shall be protected. GenlGrant desires that the shall be protected. GenlHoward, at the end of the bureau, who has received the gentleman s praise, and who is worthy of more than he received, recommends it. He says: "4. Education is absplutely essential to the freedmen to fit them for their new duties and responsibilities. Ifiud many enlightened and learned men in everyState advocating the necessit and wisdom of establisbin a system o education. ct I believo the minority of the white people to be utterly opposed to educating the negroes. ho opposition is so great that the teachers, though they may be the purest of Christian people. are nevertheless Visited. publicly and privately with undisguised marks of odium. In many parts of the country the hostility of the white people to the schools has been undisguised and overy effort has been made to get the buildings used for school purposes away from the teachers. It is difficult to describe the odium with which the excellent selfdenying school teachers are met.” Mr. Stanton, the SecyWar, who is becoming so peaceful as to be praised these days by Democrats I hope he may survive it recommends it. He says: “Proper provision for the colored population whose condition has been changed by direct act of the Federal Government. to serve its own purposes in the conflict, is a solemn duty. More or loss resistance to the performance of this duty is to be exccted while any rebe bone or hostile spirit remains, at the obligation to perform it cannot be evaded or thrust aside with national honor or safety. A numerous class of white persons suffering by the ravages of war have also a just claim for relief.” I Does the Gentfrom Pennsylvania indorso these recommendations which down through the centuries shall be for the honor of president, war minister, and general?
