THE VETO MESSAGE
bemolition of the "Freedmen's Bureau
Bill"--The Bill Give% The Executive
Too Much Power--It is too Expensive
On The People--it is Considered As
Unnecessary--Finally, It Is Unconstitu
tional.
O r e the Stnate of the United Slates : I have
examined with care the bill which has been
passed by the two Houses of Congress to
amend an net, entitled "an not to establish
n bureau for the relief of freedmen and ref
egeos, and for other purposes." Having
'with much regret come to the conclusion
that it would not be eonSistent with the
public svelfare to give my approiali to the
measure, I return die bill to the Senate with
my objections to its becoming a law. I
might call to mind, in advance of these.ob-
Sections, that there is no immediate necesst
trfor the proposed Measure.
The act 10 (1: 1 1111/11/ 1 11 n bureau for the re
lief of freedmen and refugees, which was
approved of in the month of March last, has
ants yet expired. It was thought stringent
and extreme enough for the purpose in'vlew
in time of war. Before it ceases to have ef
fect further, experience may' assist to guide
us to a wise conclusion as to the policy to
he adopted in time of peace. I share with
Congress tire strongest desire to secure to
the freedmen, the full enjoyment of their
freedom end their prosperity, and their en
tire indepondenee'and ettitality in making
contracts for their • lahor, but the bill before
Me containsprovisions which, in my opin
ion, are not warranted by the Constittition,
and aro not well suited to accomplish the
end in view.
The bill..proposes to establish, by'auttor-
Sty of Congress, military jurisdiction over
, nllAntrte 'Of the United States containing
velhgeesitird.freadmen.. It would, by its
very nature apply with the most force to
thole parte of the United States in which
the freedmen most abound, and it expressly
extbrids the existing temporary jurisdiction
of the Fieedmon's Bureau, with greatly en
larged powers over those States in which
the ordinary - course of judicial proceeding
has been interrupted by the rebellion.
TheaourCii from which this military jurie
dieilen is to emanate is none other'than the
President' of the United States, noting
through . the War Departme* and the Corn- .
miecioner of the Freedmen's Thireatt. The

proceed on charges and epeoiticatlons. The
punishment will be, not what the law de
clares, but such ass. a court-martial may
think proper, and from these nrbitraty tri
bunals there lies no appeal, no writ of er
ror, to any of the courts in WWleh the Con
stitution of the United States puts exoln.
sirely the judicial power of die country.—
While the territory and the classes of no
tions and offenses that are Made subject to
these measures are so extensive, the bill it
self, should It become a law, will have no
limitation in point of time, but Will form
part of the permanent legislation of the
country.
I cannot conceive a system of military jn
ritidistion of this kind, within the words of
the Constitution, which declares that "no
person shall be held to answer for a capital
or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a
presentment and indictment of M 1 grand jury,
except in cases arising in the land and na
val forces, or in the military when in ser
vice in time of war or public danger," and
that "in all criminal proceedings the acou•
sad shall enjoy the right to a speedy and
public trial by tin impartial jury of the
State or district wherein the crime shall
have been committed."
The safeguards which the experience and
wisdom of ages taught our fathers to estab
lish as securities for the protection of the
innocent, the punishment of the guilty and
the equal administration of j 11511150, Ore to
be set aside, and for the sake of a more vig
orous interposition in behalf of justice, we
are to take the risk of the many acts of in
justice that would necessarily follow from
an almost countless number of agents estab•
Oohed in every parish or county in nearly a
third of the States of the Union. over *hone
decisions there is to be no supervision or
control by the Federal courts.
The power that would be thus placed in
the bonds of the President in snob no in time
of peace certainty ought never to be intrust
ed to any one man. If it be asked whether
ho creation of such a tribunal in a State
was warranted as a measure of war, the
question immediately presents itself whetho
we are still engaged in war. Let us not un
necessarily disturb the commerce, and cred-.
it and - industry of the country by declaring
to the American people, and to the World,
that the United States aro still in a condi
tion of civil war.
At present there is no part of our country
in which the authority of United States'
is disputed. Offences that may be commit
ted as indiViduals should not work a forfeit
ure of the rights of whole communiiies.- 7
The community has returned, or is return
ing. to a state of pesce and industry. The
rebellion is at en end. The measure. there
pre, seems to be inconsistent with the na
tunl condition of the country, and is at va—
rionce with the Constitution of the , United_
State,. „
If, passing from general considerations,
we examine the bill id detail, it is open to
weighty objections. Id time of war it was
eminently proper that we should -provide
for those, who were passing suddenly from a
condition of bondage to a state of freedom,
but this bill proposes to make the Freed
men's Bureau, established by the not of
1885 as one of many great . and extraordin
ary. measures to suppress a formiable re
bellion, a permanent branch of the publio
administration, with its powers greatly en
larged.
I have no reason to suppose, and I do
not understand it lobe alleged that the act
of March, 1865, has proved detiele4 torah°
purpose for whiCh,it was passed, although'
at that time, and for a considerable period

pond the public money for the rent or pur
°hese of houses for the thousende, not
to say millions of the white race who aro
honestly toiling from day to day for their
subsistence.
A system for the support of Indigent per
sons in the United States never was eastern
plated by the authors of the Constitution.
Nor can any good reason be advanced wlt ,
as a permanent establishment, it should
founded for one class or cala of our peop tt .
mare than for another. Pending the wet'
many refugees and freedmen received sup
port from the Government, but it was never
intended that they should hencefoith be
fed, clothed, educated and sheltered by the
United States. The idea on which the
slaves were assisted to freedom was, thaton
becoming free they would be a self—sustain
ing population, and any legislation that
shall imply that_they are not expected to
attain a self—sustaining condition Mtistliave
a tendency alike injurious to their charac—
ter and their prosperity.
The appointment of an agent for every
county and perish will . create tin immense
patronage, and the expense of tbo numerous
of:Doers and their clerks, to be appointed by
the President t will be great in the beginning,
with a tendency steadily to increase. The ,
appropriations asked by the Freedmen's
Bureau, as now established for the year
1860, amount to $11,745,000, and it may be
safely estimated that the cost tube Incurred
under the pending bill ieill require double
•
that amount, More than the entire sum ex—
pended in any ode year under the admit:tie—
ttntion of the Second Adams,.
If the presence of agents in every parish
and county is to be considered ns a war
measure, oppotition or even resistnnee
might be provoked, so that to give effect to
their jurisdiction, troops would have to be
stationed within reach of every one of them
nod thus n !Imre standing force be rendered
necessary. Large appropriations would,
therefore, be required to sustain and enforce
military jurisdiction in every county or pa-.
rish from the' Potomac) to the Rio ilLpittdi3 ; , -
Tbe s condition of our fiscal affairs en
couraging, but in cyder to sustain the pres
ent measures of public confidence, it is
necessary that we practice not merely ens
tonnh economy,. but as .far as possible,
severe retrenchment,
In addition to the objections already sta
ted, :he firth section of the bill proposes to
lake away land (roan its former owners
without any legal proceedings being first
had, contrary to that provision of the Con
stitution which declares that no person
shall tie deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process of law. It does -not
appear that a part of the lands to 'which
this section refers, may not be owned by
minors or'persons of unsound mind. or by
those who have been faithfnl to all their
obligations as citizens of the fruited States.
It' any portion of the land is held by such
persons, it is not compenteut fur any autho
rity to deprive them of It. If, on the other
Land, It bo found that the property is-liable
to confiscation, even then it cannot be ap
propriated to publid purposes, until, by due
process of law, It shall have boon declared
forfeited to the Government.
There is still further obioot.ion to the bpi,
.on grounds seriously affecting the class of
persons to whom, it is .designed, to bring ,
relief; it will tend to keep the mind of am
freedmen in . a etate of uncertain expectation
and restlessness, while tq :lbw° . among.

Itself, whether the system propiiied by the
bill bill net, wh'en put into chniplete oper
ation, prectiOally 'transfer the /entire care,
snpythrt and control of four millions of
emancipated slaves to agents, overseers or

would ineYitibly tend to a concentration of
powet Id the Executive, whiehmouldinuible
UM, Use diepoood, to control the antion of
this numerous ekes, and use them for the
attainment of his own political ends: ' •
I cannot but add another very grave ob
jeotion to the bill. The Constitution im
pertitively declares, in connection 11th tax
ation, that each 'State shall haft at least
one representative,. and fixes the rule for
the number to which in future times .each
State shall be entitled; it also provides
that the Senate of the United Stoles shall
bd composed of two Senators from each
Slate, and adds with peculiar foroe, that no
State without its ooneent, shell be deprived
of its , equal,euffragein the Senate. The
original act Wes necessarily passed in !the
absence of the States chiefly to be-affected,
because their people were then contuma-.
ciously engaged in the Rebellion.
. .
Now the ease is changed, •and„aome:at
least, of the 'Slates are attending Congress
by loyal representatives soliciting the at
lowanoo,pf the Conetittitional right 'of rei-
, resentation. At the titnoi. however, of the
consideintion and the passing of this
,bill,.
I there wan no Senatot or Representative in
ICongress from the eleven States which are
to be mainly affected by its provisions.—.l
The very fect• that reports were and are I
made against the good disposition of the
country is an additional reason why they
,need and should have representation in
Congress, to explain their condition, reply
to accusations, and assist by, their local
know ledge in perfecting measures immedi
ately
affecting themeselres, While the liber
ty' of deliberation would then be free, and 1
congress would have full power to decide
according to its judgment, there oould be'no
objection urged that the States most inter.
estetl had not been permitted to be' hent'd.
The principle is firmly fixed in the minds
of the American people that there should
'be no , taxation without ropros alion.—
Great burdens have now to , bo orne by all
the country, net' we may boat d !nand' thin
ft
they shall be borne without te; rmur when
they are voted by a majority alba repre
sentatives Of all the people. I would - 'net'
interfere with the unquestionable right of
Congress to judge and net for itself of the
electing; rolurns and qualifications Of its
own members,' inn that nut harity cannot-be
construed as including the, right. to 'Shutt
out, in time of pettee, nay' State from the
representation to Which it is Willed by the
Constitu'ion at present: '
All the people of eleven States are exclu
ded; those who were most faithful during
