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 ‘< pay that the freedmen, who receives a ; fair and just compensation for “his 1% NO. 25,
