Speech of Gen. Tilson.
Gentlemen of the Con cent ion :
iho object of the-Bureau of Refu
gees, lueedmeu and Abandoned
Lands, sgcin- to baVc -been largely
misappiehended and misunderstood.
I uiuglud to avail myself of the oppor
tunity oltned. bv yotp* courtesy, to ex-
P a * u D> the rejjrc eutatiyes of tho peoi
pie, coming from all parts of the State,
the real objects and purposes of the
Bureau. 1 have nothing to conceal,
but desire that the people throughout
the State, white and black, should uu
derstaud and appreciate fully and com
pletely the real purpi sea of the Ru*
rcau. the work it p: eposes* to dc, ami
the policy which will guide its actions.
Culortauately the ]>ureau,’to no small
extent, is re garde 1 by the white peo
ple as simply the champion oi the
freed men, right or wrong. It is rep
resented as preferring and believing
the statement of the freed man rather
t!i ,ir ot the white man—as intending
to force the whites to.accept the blacks
on terms of social equality -and as
having been designed, and put in ope
ration for the expre- s purpose of an--
noting, humiliating, persecuting, and j
offensively intermeddling with the af
fairs ol the white people of the South.*
On the other hand, the Ireedtnen
seem to be somewhat under the im
pression, that the Bureau is to furnish
them with food without libor, and to
assist next Christmas or New Year in
making a distribution among them of
the lands and other property of their
former masters. ‘
I scarcely need tell y u that one of
these opinions is no more absurd than
the other, and that -such are not the
objects or purposes of the Bureau.
It seems strange that the- Bureau
should coin to be regarded ayd repre
sented in this offensive- light, when we
rememUei: that the act creating it au>
thorizes the Secretary of War to make
“such issues of'provisions, clothing,
and fuel, as he mav deem needful for
the immediate and’ temporary shelter
and supply of the destitute and suffer
ing lefugees'and freedmert, and their
wives and children,” and .that the of*
fic-ers and agents have already distrib*
uted food and clothing to the value of
hundreds of thousands -of dollars to
the poor of the South, who would
otherwise, in mgny instances have per
ished of starvation and cold. That it
has furnished the suffering refugees
and freedmen transportation to their
homes, or to places where they can
provide for then own wants* and that
at the head of the Bureau is placed
an officer not only of great reputation
and of marked ability, but even more
distinguished by the Christian traits
which adorn and ennoble his charac
ter —a man governed by the highest
and noblest motives, earnestly wishing
and striving to benefit his countrymen
and to do simple justice to all.
I intend to speak frankly, with en
tire candor, and with nono but the
kindest feelings towards the people of
the Slate. lam convinced that when
once they have clearly understood
what the Bureau proposes to do, they
will approve of its intentions, and I
hope and expect, give their cordial
co-operation.
The first efforts of the Bureau in
this State arc and will be directed to
a ding all refugees and fr ‘edtnen, who
may need assistance, to obtain homes
in the country where fair wages and
kind treatment wilibe secured to them.
It is not propoed to allow any of these
persons to remain in and about towns
and cities, unless they arc well and
profitably employed, or have sufficient
x M. /*.. 4i,:: -
I need not detain you by describing
the manner in which this result will
be accomplished. I will only aid
that efficient steps are being takeD,
which I am able to assure you front ‘
experience, will produce the desired j
effect. The distribution of these per
sons among the white people of the
State, and their absorption as laborers,
for which position and duties they arc ,
fitted, is regarded as the only perma
nent, practicable, and sufficient means
ot providing for their wants.- Where
unavoidable, temporary hospitals will
be established to provide for the wants |
of the aged, sick, decrepid, aryl very
young children, until the State can
put its machinery in motion and pro
vide tor the wants of its own poor.—
Here I may remark, that complaint is
sometimes made of that order of the
Bureau, announcing that the sick, old,
decrepid, and young children, shall
not be driven from their cabins or the
homes of their former owners. Let
me remind you that your State law
very wisely requires the owner to pro
vide for his old and helpless slaves
during the balance of their lives. —
For aught I know, the people may
decide that this is still right, and that
the county or city shall not be burths
ened by the support of persons who
have spent Hieir lifetime in the service
TEEMS $4,00 A Year, in Advance
t ail individual wlie lias received thd
benefit thereof. However this may b>
(.lie bureau dues not evenpropose to
enforce the law of the State on the
subject to its lull extent —it onlv di
rects that these people shall be provit
ded for by their lonner owners, until
such time as the State shall make
provision for their support. The bu
reau by no means directs that you
shall bo compelled to support the freed*
people who are able by labor, to pro*
: vide for themselves and families, or
; “bom, for any reason, you do not de
sire to have on your plantation. It is
also - proposed) with the aid of benevr
oleut societies, to establish schools ;
but it is not intended to conffnd them
to the use of the freedmeu alone.—
On the contrary, schools .will be pro
vided for the use of white refugees
and other poor white children, who
may desire to avail themselves, or who’
can be prevailed upon to accept these
opportunities of. obtaining an educa
tion. However wise or necessary it
may have been during the existence of
slavery to keep the colored people in
ignorance, it can be so no longer. It
is evidently of the first importance,
and of the highest inteicst, to the
people of this State, that the freed*
men should be educated, and the soo
ner the. better. Their dense igno
rance, their entire inability to under
stand or comprehend the meaning of.
freedom, its rigli.s and duties, is what
makes it So extremely difficult to in>
flue lice and manage them, and the
sooner it is overcome and removed,
the sooner it will bo possibld for them
to become honest, industrious and
useful members of tiie community.—*
Upon their intelligence will depend,
their real value as citizens. Officers!
and agents will also strive earnestly
and assiduously to instruct the freed* s
men in the meaning and extent of
their rights, their responsibilities and
their duties. Unhappily, large num
bers of froedmen seem to imagine that
freedom metins relief from all labor or
care, or the right to live a life of idle<
ness and even of vice.’ This must ba
corrected.. They must be made to uae*
derstund that with freedom comes the
resposfbilities and duties of freedmen,
uud that these they must accept and
perform—that labor is a necessity—*,
that they can obtain and possess noth
ing without it--* that it is imposed up
on them not by the white man, but by
their Creator, who has made it the on_
ly means of providing lor their necesu*
sitics. They must be made to under*
stand that wh n they have, or when
the Bureau has placed within their
reach an opportunity for earning their
own support, and that of their fami
lies, by their own labor aid industry,
they must accept it, uulcss they have
the means to support themselves and
families without labor j that they are
not to be permitted to live the life of
vagrants, and become a burthen upon*
or a nuisance in the community; that
having entered into an agreement,
they will be required and compelled
to comply in good faith with the te.ma
and conditions thereof. And here let
me say, that I am fully aware that
this is a point of great interest to the
people of this State, and that upon ii
depends the reliability and permanen
cy of labor, without which it will be
impossible to engage in agricultural
r . r 1 *ll
pursuits. I know you will tell me
that while some of the freedmen will
labor faithfully, are honest, industri*
ous and useful citizens, a large pro
portion of them will not work for the
inducements which readily secure la*
bor in Other count.ies—and this is
the fact, I know it, not only because
it is thp universal statamont of tho
people, but from my own experience
in the Bureau, and from data carefully
and c< nscientiously collected by my
aent’ or myself. I know, too, that
as a race they have, in a very large de
cree, the vices of a people just emer*
ging from long years of slavery ; that
they are great liars and most skilful
thieves ; that they arc breaking into
and robbiug smokehouses throughout
the ccfUntiy, and arc stealing and kill
in"’ animals to an extent that jeopard
izes the future prosperity of the State
i These are disagreeable facts. I. wish
they ware otherwise, but they are facts
and no amount of persistent denial,
or ingenious argument will change
them. 1 know that much may justly
be said in extcnuatio i of these faults
and in praise of their good Qualities;
that it may b& predicted with the ad-’
vantages of freedom, they will grad
ually become honest, industrious and
valuable citizens. With my whole
heart, I hope this pleasant antioipa*
tion may be realized. 1 will gladly
do all in my power to produce this
much to be desired result. But with
the past or expectations of the future,
I have little or nothing to do. I must
act with lcfcrance to the present, and
ps the facts now foroed upon my ati
1 i tention seem to require. And when I
