ANOTHER VETO.
TIic President Objects to the Colorado Itill.
WAatiiNOTON, Jan. 28. The following Veto
McKfHiie lino been cotmminiculod toCongioss by
the I'rosldrnt of the United Htatos:
To the Kennleof the United HUtes: I return
tolhe Hennte, In which house It nrlelnatml, a
Mil ent Hied "An net to admit the Htnte of Colo
rado into the Union," to which I cannot con
nlKtenlly with mynennonf duty give mv ap
proval. With the exception of an nddltlonul
noctlon containing new provlHloiiH, It is mib
Btnntially the nnino as the hill of a MinUar title
passed by Congress during the lant session, suli
mittcd to the President for hla approval, rc
tnrned with the objections contained In a mcs
Hnse bonrlngdate the 15th of May last, and yet
awultinK the recoiiRidoratlon of the Htm ale.
A second bill, having In view the name pur
1one, has now passed both Houses of Congress,
uia been presented for my signature. Having
ngnin carefully considered the subject, I have
been unable to percelvo any reason for chang
ing the opinions which have already been
communicated to Congress. I find, on the con
trary, that there are many objections to the
proposed legislation of which I was not at that
time awire, and that while several of those
which I then assigned have, In the Interval,
gained In strength, yet others have been cre
ated by the altered character of the measure
now submitted. The Constitution undor which
IhlsHtate Government. In proposed to be formed
very properly contains a provision that all laws
In force nt the lime of its adoption and the
admission of the. .state Into the Union shall
continue as if the Constitution bad been
adopted. Among these laws is one absolutnly
prohibiting negroes and mulattoes from the
right to sit n Jurors.
This bill wun vetoed by the Governor of the
Territory, who held that by the laws of tho
United Slates negroes and mulattoes nre citi
xens, and subject to the duties as well as en
titled to the rights of citizenship. Tho bill, how
ever, won passed, the objections of the Governor
to the contrary notwithstanding, and is now a
law In the Territory. Yet In the hill now before
me, by which it Is proposed to admit the Terri
tory as a Stale, it Is provided that "there shall
be no denial of the elective franchlso or any
other rights to any person by reason of race or
color, excepting Indians not taxed." Tho Incon
gruity thus exhibited between tho legislation
of Congress and that of the Territory, taken In
connection with the protest against the admis
sion of the state, hereinafter referred to, would
seem clearly to Indicate tho impolicy and In
justice of t" proposed enact loent.
It might, indeed, be a subject of grave inquiry,
and doubtloss will result In such inquiry If this
bill become a law, whether it does not attempt
to exercise a power not conferred upon Con
Kress by the Federal Constitution. That instru
ment simply declares that Congress may admit
iew States into tho Union. It no where says
that Congress may make new States for tho
purpose of admitting them into the Union for
any other purpose. And yet this bill is as clear
nu attempt to make the institutions as any one
which the people themsolves could engage. In
view of this action of Congress, the House of
Kepresentaflves of the Territory have earnestly
protested against being forced into the Union
without first liuvlug the question submitted to
the people.
Nothing could bo more reasonable than tho
position which they thus assume, and it cer
tainly cannot be the purposoof Congress to force
upon a community, against their will, a govern
ment which they do not believe themselves ca
pable of sustaining.
The following Is a copy of tlie protest alluded
to as officially transmitted to me:
Whereas, It is announced In the public prints
that it is the intention of Congress to admit Co
lorado as a State Into the Union; therefore,
Jiesolved, By the House of Representatives of
this Territory, that representing as we do tho
last and only legal expression of public opinion
on this question, we earnestly protest against
tho passago of a law admitting the State with
out first having the question submitted to a vote
of the people for the reasons,
First. That we have a right to a voice in the
selection of the character of our government.
Second. That we have not a sufficient popula
tion to support the expenses of a State govern
ment. For these reasons we trust tbnt Congress will
not force upon us a government against our
will.
Upon information which I considered reliable
I assumed, in my message of the 1ith of May
last, that tho population of Colorado was not
more than thirty thousand, and expressed tho
opinion that this number was entirely too small
cither to assume the responsibility or to eujoy
the privileges of a State.
It appears that previous to that time the Le
gislature, with a view to ascertain tho exact
condition of the Territory, had passed a law au
thorizing a census of thepopnlation to betaken.
The law made it the duty of the assessors in tho
several counties to take tho census in connec
tion with the annual assessments; and, in order
to secure a correct enumeration of tho popula
tion, allow ed them a liberal compensation for
the service by paying them lor every name
iney returned, and added to tneir previous oath
of office an oatli to perform this duty with
fidelity. From theaccompanylngofficlalrorort
It appears that leturns have been received from
fifteen of the eighteen counties into which the
State is divided, and that their population
amounts in the aggregate to twenty-four thou
sand, nine hundred and nine. The three re
maining counties are estimated to contain
three thousand, making a total population of
twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and nine.
The census was taken in the summer season.
When U is claimed that the population is much
larger than at any other period, as in the
nutumn miners in large numbers leave their
work and return to the Fast with the results ot
their summer enterprise. The population, it
will be observed, Is but slightly in excess of one
fifth of the number required as tho basis of re
presentation for a single Congressional Dis
trict in any of the States, that number being
one hundred and twenty-seven thousand. Iam
unable to perceive any good reason for such
Kreat disparity in the right of representation,
giving, as it would, to ttio people of Colorado,
not only this vast advantage in the House of
Jlepresentalives but an equality in the Senate,
where the other States are represented by mil
lions. With, perhaps, a single exception, no
Mich Inequality us this has ever before been
attempted.
X know that it is claimed that the population
of the dilTereut States at the time of their ad
mission, has varied at different periods, but it
lias not varied much more than the population
of each decade, and tho corresponding basis of
representation for tho different periods. The
obvious intent of tho Constitution was, that no
State should be admitted with a less population
than the ratio for a Hepresentative at tho time
of application. The limitation in the second
section of the first art irle of the Constitution,
declaring that "Each State shall have at least
one Hepresentative," was manifestly designed
to protect the Stutes which originally composed
the Union, from being deprived, in the event of
a waning population, of a voice in the popular
(branch of Congress, und was never intended as
a warrant to force a new State into the Union
with a representative population far below that
Which might at tho lime be required of siHtor
members of the confederacy. This bill, in view
of the prohibition of the same section which de
clares that "The number of Representatives
filial I not exceed ono for every thirty thousand,"
Is at least a violation of the spirit if not of tho
letter of the Constitution.
It is respectfully submitted that, however
Congress, uuder the pressure of circumstances,
may have admitted two or three States with,
less than a representative population at tho
time, there has been no instance in which an
application for admission has ever been enter
tained when the population, as officially ascer
tained, was below thirty thousand. Were there
any doubt of this being the true construction of
the Constitution, It would be dispelled bv tho
early and long-continued practice of the Fodo
ral Government. For nearly sixty years alter
the adoption of the Constitution, no State was
admitted with a population believed at the
time to be less than the current rates for a Re
presentative, and tho first instance in which
there appears to have been a departure from
the principle was in 1813, in tho case of Florida.
Obviously tho result of sectional strife, we
would do well to reuard it as a warning of evil,
rather than as an example for Imitation.
I think candid men of all parties will agree
that the lnspiringcause of this wholesome prin
ciple of restraint Is to be found in a vain at
tempt to balance those antagonisms whloli re
fused to be reconciled except tlu'ough the
bloody arbitrament of arms, Tho plain facts of
oar history will attest that the great and lead
ing Stales admitted siuce 1815, viz; Iowa, Wis
cousin, California, Minnesota and Kansas, In
cluding Texas, which wus admitted that year,
have all come with an ample population for
one Representation, and some of them Willi
nearly or quite enough for two. To demon
strate tbe correctness of my views on this ques
tion, I BUbJoia (able vgutuluiuij a Ubi of lUo
Htntrs admitted Mnee the adoption of the Fede
rnl Constitution, with tho date of nd nisslon,
the ratio of representation, and the representa
tive population when admitted, deduced from
the United states census table. The calculation
being made for the per cent, of the decade cor
responding with I he date of admission:

Colorado, which it Is now proposed to admit
as a State, claims, as has already been stated, a
population less than twenty-rdght thousand,
while the present ratio of representation is one
hundred und twenty-seven thousand. There
enn bo no reason that I can percelvo for the ad
mission of Colorado that would not apply with
equol force to nearlv every other territory now
organized, and I submit whether, if this bill
becomes a law, It will bo possible to resist tho
logical conclusion that such Territories as Da
cola, Montana and Idaho must be received as
States whenever they present themselves, with
out regard tolhe number of Inhabitants they
ma j respectively contain. Fight or ten new
Senators and four or five Representat ives would
thus bo admitted to represent a population
fcaredy exceeding that which, in any other
J oitton of the nation, iselltitled to but a single
member of the House of Itrprosent.il Ives,
while iiverace lor two Senators in the Union,
as now constituted, is at least ono million of
pi ople.
It would surely be unjust to all other sections
of the Union to enter upon a policy with regard
to the admission of new States, which might
roHiilt in conferring such a disproportionate
share of influence In the national legislature
upon communities which, in pursuance of tho
wise policy of our fathers, should for some
yeaistocome be retained under the fostering
care and protection of the national Govern
ment, If it is denned just and expedient now
to depart from the settled policy of the nation
during nil its history, and to admit all the Ter
ritories to the lights and privileges of states,
irrespective of their population or fitness for
such government, it is submitted whether it
would not be well to devise such measures as
will bring the subject before the country for
consideration and decision.
Tliis would seem to be evidently wise, be
cause, as lias already been stated, if it is right to
admit Colorado now there is no reason for the
exclusion of the oilier territories. It Is no an
swer to these suggestions that an enabling act
was passed authorizing the people of Colorado
to lake action on this subject. It is well known
that that act was passed in consequence of re
presentations that the population reached, ac
cording to some statements, as high as eighty
thousand, and to none less than fifty thousand,
and was growing with a rapidity which, by tho
time the admission could be consummated,
would secure a population of over a hundred
thousand.
These representations prove to have been
Wholly fallacious, anil in addition, the people
of the Territory, by a deliberate vote, decided
that they would not assume the responsibility
of a State government. Uy that decision they
entirely exhausted all power that was con
ferred by the enabling act, ond there has been
no step taken since in relation to the admis
sion that bus bad the slightest sanction or war
rant of law. The proceedings upon which the
present application is based was in the utter
absence of all law in relation to it, and there
Is no evidence that the votes on the question
of the formation of a State government bear
any relation whatever to the sentiment of the
Territory. The protest of t he House of Repre
sentatives previously quoted is conclusive evi
dence to tho contrary.
liut if none of these reosons existed against
this proposed enactment, tbe bill itself, besides
being inconsistent in its provisions in confer
ring power upon a person unknown to the laws,
anil who may not have a legal existence, is so
framed as to render its execution almost im
possible. It is, indeed, a question whether it Is
not in itself n nullity. To soy the least, It is of
exceedingly doubtful propriety to confer the
power proposed in the bill upon the "Governor
elect," for as by its own terms the Constitution
Is not to take ell'ect until after the ad mission of
the State, lie, in the meantime, has no more au
thority than any other private citizen. Uuteveu
supposing him to be clolbed with sufficient au
thority to convene the Legislature, what consti
tutes the "Stale Legislature," to which is to be
referred the question of the conditions imposed
by Congress? Is it a new body to be elected and
convened by proclamation of the Governor
fleet, or is it that body which met more than a
year ago under the provisions of the State Con
stitution? liy reference to the secoud section
of the schedule and to the eighteenth section of
the fourth article of the State Constitution, It
will be seen that tho term of the members ot the
House of Representatives and that of one-halt
of the members of the Senate expired on the
first Monday ol tho present month. It is clear
that if there were no Intrinsic objections to tho
bill itself in relation to the purposes to be ac
complished this objection would be fatal, as it
is apparent that the provisions of tbe third sec
tion of the bill to admit Colorado have reference
to a period and a slate of fads entirely different
from the present and affairs us they now exist,
and if curried iulo tiled must uccessurily lead
into confusion.
Fven it it were settled that the old and not a
new body was to net, it would be found imprac
ticable to execute the law, because a consider
able number of the members, as 1 am informed,
have ceased to beresideutsof the Territory, and
in the sixty days wllhlu which the Legislature
is to be convened after tho pussage of the act
there would not be sufficient time to fill the
vacancies by new elections, were there any au
thority under which they could bo held. It may
not be improper to udd that if the proceedings
were all rcgulur and the result to be obtained
were desiruble, simple just ioe to the people of
the Territory would require a longer period
than sixty Jays within which to obtain action
on tbe conditions proposed by the third section
ot the bill.
There are, ns it is well known, large portions
of the Territory with which there Is and can be
no general communication, tiiero being several
counties which, from November to Slay, can
only be reached by persons traveling on foot,
while with other regions of tho Territory, occu
pied by a large portion of the population, there
is very little more freedom of aceess. Thus If
this bill should become a luw, 11 would be im
practicable to obtain any expression of publio
sentiment in reference to lis provisions with a
view to enlighten tho Legislature if the old
body were called together, and, of course,
equally impructieablo to procure the election ot
a new body.
This delect might have been remedied by an
extension of tho lime und u submission of the
question to tho people, Willi a full opportunity
to enable tlieiu to express their sentiments.
Tho admission of a new State has generally
been regarded us an epoch in our history, but
after the most careful and anxious inquiry on
t lie subject, I cannot perceive that Hie pro
posed proceeding is in conformity with tho
pollov which, from the origin of the Govern
ment, has uniformly prevailed in the admis
sion or new .States. I therefore return the bill
to the Senate without my signature.
