We feel that no apology is needed lor the want of variety in our columns this week. 1( is due to the people that the recent veto message of President John son. and his great speech on Thursday last, should he laid before them at once. The people's President has spoken in be half of the people, and in hb utterances they have the deepest concern. The message and address, found elsewhere in this paper, will be read in every house bold in the land, and will work an influ ence for good, such as no Presidential manifesto has ever before wielded. They are the heartfelt eon vic( ions of an honest, earnest, patriotic statesman, who, we be lieve, has no higher ambition than to serve and save his country. They are couched in language so plain I hat it needs no explanation, and will defy the ellbrts of demagogues to misconstrue and per vert it.

Although we opposed [he ele.-lion of Andrew Johnson to rile Viee Presidency, yet we, and tho-e with whom wc are as sociated politically, have cordially en dorsed his policy whenever we could con sistently do so. We speak of Him now, not as a partisan, but as aI ml hfnl eoasei J eu I ions slalesuian, who has had the nerve to rise above the rule of faction, when the Welfare of I lie conn try demanded Dim to do so. Weendorse him as a trueand tried patriot who lias had the moral courage to lit row himself i nto I lie breach, ill the very crisis of revolution, ami lo call upon (be Bepreseiita! ive- of the people to slop in their inadiies-. We glory in him as a President who has a mind of his own ; who has substituted the rule of statesman ship for a reign of imbecility. We see in Dim a second Andrew Jackson -great, fearless and linn —lll rough whose iustru uieululily the. liberties of the country may ye! be rescued out of ihe liandsol' the reckless fanatics who now rule the hour. Ami re w Johnson stands he I ween the peo ple and (he revolutionists who would de prive them of their liberties, lie strips (he mask from the bold, bad men who now control the legislation of Congress, and shows (he real objects I bey are seek ing to accomplish. 1 Leclasses them with the disnnionists and traitors of the South, ami announces that agaiu-l all such “ he is still in the field." Open war has now been declared be tween the President and the revoluliuua ry cabal of the Rump ('uugress war, op en, defiant war lo the lasi. On the one side the crack of the radical lash will be heard, day after day, as Stevens mid Sumner whip in the dnubll'ul and strag gling. On the other side stands the chief Magistrate of the nation, in the strength of conscious rectitude. He appeals to no party or section for support, hut calls up on the people —the ir/iolr j>i op/c — as they value their liberties, to rally in defense of constitutional government before it is ev erlastingly too late. Whether that ap peal will be regarded, lime alone will tell. One thing is sure, the radicals are not lighting President Johnson alone, hut with him tlie hundreds of thousands of voters wlio will vote in (liecongressional elections next fall, mid who will then de cide which shalPhave their allegiance, king caucus or the Gmistituliou. We have no fears of Ihe result. Politicians may do their best, hut (he people tire with tho President; and, thank God, in tills government the people, after all, are tho rulers. Jt is u gross mistake to,suppose (lull tins President, in his defence of tlie t.'onstitu (ion, depends on any party. Demagogue may turn,against him IVoin selfish .mo tives; but the people will sustain Un man, wlm, regardless of parly, will'hou estly maintain Constitutional govern ment. And thepeople, in any such con test, are always stronger than the politi cians. If the disloyal radicals of the par ty which electeil Mr. Johnson choose to desert him because of Ids patriotic and conservative policy, the people will rally around him, and they may make him the nucleus of a national organization which, whatever its name may be, will he poten tial enough to overwhelm treason in any (punier of the republic, though confeder ated, as now, miderlheuamcof the “A'n lUniul I'nion parti/." All true Democrats certainly approve of Mr. Johnson's policy of reconstruction. Rut to say the Presi dent ha> pursued that course with a view to engage their support, is simply ridicu lous. We sincerely believe he lias taken his position on an eminence of patriotic principle,'above all selfish aspirations or partisan aims, whore neither private slander nor party malice can reach Idm. From Unit proud position lie can alibi'd to look down-wit h pity on (he contempti ble motives of (hose who, in their strug gles for power and plunder, seem to for get Unit they have a country, and care not for its peace and prosperity. In the President’s speech, which we publish to-day, ho speaks of Forney as Hie "dead duck,” and by Hits name he will lie known the balance of Ids life.— (leu. (Irani in his Report, christened that consummate .humbug, Butler, "Bottled Ben,” and by general consent tins is lobe his name for all future time. Chairman ll'hat the President meant by calling Forney a " dead duck,” can be imagined. A dead duck, particularly if it died lie cause of having gorged itself too liberally upon olfal and corruption, at once becomes very otlensive, and lias to he removed from the sight of pedestrians. Forney, if not dead in body, is dead morally and politically, for lie is gorged to repletion, and gives unmistakable signsof gangrene. He is becoming otfonsi vc —a stencil in the nostrils of the people—and the President thinks it about time lie should be trans ferred to duck heaven.' The suggestion is well-timed ; Forney/*• offensive. The rich pickings he gobbled up by permission of Air. Lincoln and bully Stanton, has made him fat and saucy, and at the same time disloyal and exceedingly unpleasant. He now puls in his spare hours in wri ting treasonable disunion articles for Ids two papers, and in heaping vulgar slan ders upon the President. This is evidence Hint President Johnson is honest, for Forney only defends those who permit him to make big grabs from the public funds. In his political course he is gov erned entirely by self, and hence it was that Hie Lincoln administration suited him so admirably. Like 1 lie vulture, he is attracted by corruption, and like that filthy bird, lie is most happy where cor ruption is most to be found. President Johnson despise.- and spurns him, and will not permit him to pollute the While House by his presence. " Dead Duck Forney" is the name lie gives him, and, considering all tilings, it i- a most appro priate appellation. How are you, Dead Duck Forue v I <>iki:at male kv the freekmk.vs m - lIKAV!

(Repub lican,) read a most aide and powerful ad dress to Hie people, and Mr. Seward, Sec retary of Stale, delivered the principal speech.

He was severe and pointed in his condemnation of the disinihmists in Congress, Sumner, Chandler, Stevens, Kelly, and others, and intimated that the “time has come” when such men must stand aside. His speech was long and very able. Several other short speeches were de livered, by late ollicors of the army and others. A largo portion of the fiiceting was composed of soldiers, who had fought and bled, not for the negro, but for a whole Union. During Air. Seward’s speech a veteran, minus his right arm, speaking for the soldiers, cried out., "send us to AVa.sliington, with authority to clean out the Rump Congress, and sec how quick we will do it!” Truly, the people arc indignant and arc becoming aroused; and they are determined, bo the consequences what they may, to put clown the negro-equality traitors who arc now in open rebellion against the Clov en! men! and the people.

Mnssns. Fomins Voianteeu ; The announcement in last week’s Volunteer that “ our Washington letter failed (o reach ns in time for publication” admon ishes mo that I must mail my future communications before Monday evening, to have them reach yon in time.. Monday last was a day of intense ex citement in both Houses of Congress and throughout t.lie city. Shortly after noon it became noised abroad that President Johnson* hud vetoed tlie Froedmen’s bu reau Bill. I hastened to the Capitol, and there found .Senator Vales of Illinois, making a terrifically radical speech on tho apportionment amendment. After the Governor had taken his seat and received Hie congratulations of his friends, the Vice President submitted to tlio .Somite Hie message of the President, which had been previously laid,upon his desk. Dur ing tho reading of the message silence prevailed throughout the Hull, except a little bustle created by members of the House crowding into the lloor of (he Sen ate to hear wind the President had to say. It was amusing to murk tho elfeet of the message upon the senators and members there congregated. Some of the radicals grew pale, others red and lidgity, while a smile of calm satisfaction and an air of conscious victory was visible on the Dem ocratic side of the Chamber. And it was a victory of which that noble little band of Senators might well be proud, it marked the turning point in tho revolu tion inaugurated by northern rebels and traitors. It rung (he knell of Xew Hug land fanaticism. It was the great echo of the popular voice in favor of the Union, the Constitution and a white man’s gov ernment. It was the victory of the mas ses over the despotic reign of caucus and faction. That veto message was the sec ond Declaration of Independence. The clerk’s voice had scarcely pronounced the limit word, when a storm of applause hurst from the crowded galleries, mingled with hisses from those of the African persuasion. Ofeouise the white galleries were at once ordered to lie cleared, while the darkies were suffered to remain. The Vice President asked: “Is the Semite prepared to proceed to the reconsideration ol the Bill;'’ and then commenced a great counting of noses, on both sides of tho house ; hilt the radicals had losteonlideiie in their strength, and moved to postpone until one o'clock on Tuesday. On Tuesday, the Senate galleries were crowded to suffocation, and lliO greatest uncertainty and anxiety was everywhere manifested in regard to the final result.— If I he Republicans could muster their full force, the Bill would pass over the Presi dent's veto, hut it was confidently assert ed that such a vote could not he mustered. Tile hour of one, arrived. Garret Davis, of Kentucky, took tlio lloor in favor of sustaining tile veto; and was followed by Mr. Trumbull, the author of tlio bill, in favor of his bantling. At the conclusion of Trumbull's speech, the Vice President announced: “The i|iiestion before the Senate is, shall the bill pass, the Presi dent’s objections notwithstanding.” Tho vote was as follows ; r VMessrs. Anthony, Iln.wa, I 'lijiailh'-r, Clark, Comn-ss, t'mam. Crisa-.-11, K.-ssomU.n.

Foot and Wright, The chair announced that, the number voting in tho ulUrmiitive being less than two thirds, the trill had failed. Tliis an nouncement was greeted with a prolong ed hiss from the negro gallery, anil, strange to say, the Vico President, was un gallant enough to ordcrall the “ Dinahs” and “Matilda Junes” to lie unceremoni ously turned out. For this outrageous conduct the chief of the Hrcednieu’s Bu reau was sorely tempted to arrest him.— All honor to Messrs. Cowan, Dixon, Doo little, Morgan and Stewart, (lie Republi can Senators who voted to sustain the vetoj&kvnd who were self-reliant enough and patriotie enough to rise above the tnuumelsof party ami give a vote for their country. Such miinifestatHms . of pure and unselfish patriotism are rare in these, latter days. There is one remarkable feature about tho veto, which stamps Andrew Johnson as a patriot “ unhought by power and un brilied by gain.” Here was a hill, passed through* Doth Houses of Congress by u three-fourths vote, grunting him a pat -ronage which a king might envy, bestow ing u power which would secure beyond JJifiJSf ilVonturc Ills reflection, and might make him President for life; yet, (rue to "the Ci)iislituti.oli libliad sworn to support, ' true In the promptings of Ids noble na ture, lie announces that ho is not a candi date for roelection, lie rejects tho tempt ing unit, and vetoes the bill. Here is a hero for you, made out of the true metal. Misfortune never comes single hand ed. The radicals have been in, the holiest of hot water all week. They had scarcely recovered from what you called the bomb-shell explosion of tlio veto message,' when President Johnson opened his “ swamp angel” batteries up on them in his great speech of Thursday night. The supporters of the adminis tration had hold a large meeting, and adopteil a series of resolutions' endorsing President Johnson’s course. The meet ing (hen adjourned to the ground in front of the White House, uiul presented the resolutions in a body. President John son appeared, mid made one of (ho most telling speeches I have ever listened to. Never have I seen such a deep and pro found sensation as that speech created in the hearts of the congregated thousands who listened to it. Johnson looked a hero, every inch of him. There he stood, < Ik; President of the United i-dufes, plead ing powerfully and earnestly with (lie people, for (he Union and the (iovoni inonla.s the fiithm's made them, against the destructive, (reasonable policy of the revolutionary eahal which‘now controls national legislation. And lei me tell you, that speech will give him a hoklupoiithe people which all MicStevenscs and Sum ners in (lie coiuitry shall not be able to shake. Andrew .Johnson, hy a masterly stroke of policy, lias taken the issues of national life and death out of the hands of this Rum]) Congress, and submitted them to the people, in whose intelligence and virtue he declares lie has more con fidence than in the boasted “ loyalty” and learning of the radical task-masters un der whoso burdens the people have been groaning for so many Jong, sad years.—- Pet the masses manifest equal eonlidence in (heir Chief Magistrate, and-he will in deed prove to the whole nation a “Mo ses,” to load ns “ out of the House of Bondage”—a bondage more merciless than that suUbrod hy the children of Ham on the plains of the South. Rest assured the tight between the President and the radicals has gone too far ever to he healed. The President neuwof yield, unless he would prove false to his oath, false to his education, false to his solemn declarations, false to his in stincts. The loading revolutionists in Congress will not yield. Thad. Stevens years ago well nigh shipwrecked the State of Pennsylvania, rather than sutler his party to lie defeated; and he is now ani mated with the spirit of Milton's arch tliend, and mutters between his teeth “It is better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.” But let the peoplehavo pa tience. The coming congressional elec tions will speak in thunder tones in favor vor of Andrew Johnson and legal liberty. Caucasian.

There was a mass meeting at Grover’s Theatre to-day in support oft lie President's policy, the cdillee being crowded to Us full capacity and many being unable toobtain admittance. A large number of persons were also addressed from the outside stand. Among the speakers wore Mont gomery Rlalr, S. S. Cox, Judge Kinney. Rep resentatives Smith and Trfmblo of Kentueky, Rogers of New Jersey, and Senators Hendrieks, MeDougall and Willey. The principal meeting was presided over by Phillip A. Kendall, the oldest member of the Washington bar. A series of resolutions were passed strongly approving the course adopted by the President, ami calling upon fellow-citizens of every shade of political opinion to stand by the policy adopted by him. At the close of the meet ing, a procession.was formed and proceeded to the open space m front of tjio north portico oftho Executive mansion, whore thousands of people had congregated. The committee appointed for the'purpose entered the White House and deliv ered to the President the resolutions adopted by the meeting. Meanwhile there was music from the hand outside. One of the marshals appeared on the rail near the carriage-way and announced t hat tin 4 President would soon address the assem blage. Shout after shout went up from thousands of throats. The President soon thereafter made his appearance and met with an enthusiastic re ception, mid huzzas and thewaving of hats. The aforesaid marshal again pitched Ids voice to the highest, saying that when order was restored the President would begin. There were cries of “order,” “order,” and mid comparative quiet, the President spoke in substance as follows ; The President's Speech. Fellow citizens, for I presume I have a right to address you as such. J come to lender to you my sincere thanks for the approbation expressed by your Committee in their personal address and in the resolutions submitted by them as having been adopted by the meeting which has been held in this city to-day. These resolutions, as I under stand litem, are complimentary to the policy which has been adopted by the Administration, and lias been steadily pursued since it. came into power. I am free to say to you on this occasion that it is extremely gratifying to me to know that so large a portion of my fellow citizens ap pro\e and iiuior.se the policy which has been adopted and which it Is my intention shall be carried out. (Great applause.) That policy is one which is intended to restore all the States to their original relations to the Federal Govern ment of the United Stales. (Renewed applause.) Appropriateness of the ]>ay. This seems to be a day peculiarly appropriate for such a manifestation. It is the day that gave birth to that man who more, perhaps, ihan’any other, founded this Government, it is the day that gave birth to the Father of our country. It is the day that gave birth to him who presided over that body which formed the Constitution under which all the Stales entered into this glorious Confederacy. .Such a day is peculiarly appropri ate for the indorsement of a policy whose object is Iho restoration of the Union of the .Stales as it was designed by the Father of his country. (Ap plause.) Washington, whose name lids city bears, is em balmed in the hearts of all who love free Govern ment. Washington, in the language of his eulo gist, was first, in war, Hrst in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. No people can claim him, no nation can appropriate him. His reputation is commensurate with the civilized world, and ids name is the common property of all those who love free government. Tl»c Monument of Freedom.

It is the sentiment which was enunciated by her dis tinguished son, the immortal, the illustrious Jackson. “The Federal Union—lt must ho pre served. (Great applause.) If it were possible for that old man, whose statue is now before* me. and whose portrait Is behind me in the Kxeeutlve Mansion, and whose sentiment is thus preserved in that monument, in your vieinilv, to be called lorth from the grave, or if it were possible to communicate wall the spirit of the illustrious dead, and make him understand the progress of laction and ol rebellion and treason, he would turnover mhiseollin, and he would rise, and shaking oil the habiliments of the tomb, would again stand erect and extend forth his long arm ami Unger, and reiterate that sentiment, once expressed by bun on a memorable occasion, Iho I*edoral Umon-it must ho preserved.’' (Groat applause.) Historic Ueminisconccs. W e have witnossud what lias transpired since jus day. In when treason and treachorvand nihdehly to tho Government and Constitution of Ilia l ulled Slates stalked forth in the land, it was his power and intlueneo that crushed the serpent in its ineipiency. It was then stopped, hiu only Jor a tune. The same spirit of disahec lOn continues. There Were men disaffected-to tlie Government, both hrthe Norm amt in the South. •Slavery There was, in a portion of the. Union, a peculi ar institution, ot which some complained, and to winch olliers were attached. Uno portion of our countrymen in tho South advocated that institu tion, wiille another portion In the North opposed Extreme l*ai*Ue.s. 1 he result was tho formation of extreme parlies one especially in the South, which reached'a point, at whieh.it was proposed to dissolve the Union ot the States for the purpose, as was said ot securing and preserving that peculiar institu tion. I hero was another portion of our coumrv men who were opposed to that institution, and who went to such an extreme that tliev were will ing to break up tho Government in order to get clear of that peculiar institution of tin* South. 1 say those tilings because J desire to talk plain ly and in;tamlliar phraseology. I assume nothing hero to-day beyond the position of a cit hva • one who has been pleading for his count rv ami the preservation of the Constitution, (immense cheering.) The.se two parties, I say, were arrayed against each other, and I stand here before volt for the Union to-day, as I stood in the Senate of the United Stales in tsui) and IfciUl, ‘ fin the Senate J met there those who wore making uar upon the Const i tut ion, those who wanted to disrupt the Government, and I denounced them in mv place then and there, and exposed their true character Isaid that those who wore engaged in the work of breaking up the Government were trailers, j have never ceased, on nil proper occasions, to re peat that sentiment, and as far as my efforts could go, I have endeavored to carry it mil. ((.treat applause.) I have Just remarked that there wore two parties, one of which was for destroying the Government and separating the the Union, In order to preserve slavery, and the other for breaking no the Government, in order to destroy slavery. True, the objects which they sought to accomplish were different, so far as slavery was concerned, but they.ngreed in the de sire to break up the Government, the? precise thing to which 1 have aHvays been opposed, and whether disuulonists come from the South or from the North, I stand now as I did then, vindi cating the union of these Stales and the Gonsli lution of my country. (Tremendous applause.) MCCONNiOSI. Rebellion ami treason manifested themselves in the South. I stood by the Govesnment. I said that I was for the Union with slavery, I was for the Union without slavery. In eilhcraltornatlve I was for my Government and its Constitution. The Government has stretched forth its strong arm, and with its physical! power it has put down treason In the field. The section of the country which then arrayed itself against the Govern ment lias been put down by the strong arm. What did wo say when this treason originated? Wo said “No compromise; you yourselves in the South can settle this question in eight and forty hours.” It said again and again, and I repeat it now, “Disband your armies in the South, ac knowledge the supremacy of the Constitution of the United Stales, acknowledge (he duty of obe dience to the laws, and the whole question is set tled.” (Applause.) What has been done since? The Rebellion Crushed, Their armies have boon disbanded, and they enme forward now In a proper spirit and say, “We were mistaken. Wo made an effort to carry Put the doctrine of Secession and to dissolve this Union. In that we have failed. We have traced tills doctrine to its logical and physical re sults, and we llnd Unit wo were mistaken. We acknowledge the flag of our country, and are willing to obey the Constitution and to yield to the supremacy of the laws.” (Great applause.) Coming in that spirit, I say to them, “When you have complied with the require ments of the Constitution, when you have yield ed to the law, when you h’Uvc acknowledged your allegiance to (he Constitution, I will, so far ns I can, open the door of the Union to those who have erred and strayed from the fold of their fathers for a time. (Groat applause.) Who has Rulfcred more by the Rebellion than I have? I I shall not repeat the story of the wrongs and sufferings inflicted upon me; but the spirit of re venge is not the spirit in which to deni with a wronged people. I know there has been a great deal said about the exorcise of the pardoning power, so far as your Executive is concerned. The liCadlng Traitors. There is no one who lias labored with more ear nestness than myself to have the principal intel ligent and conscious traitors brought 1 to Justice, tlie law vindicated, and the great, fact Judicially established that treason is a crime (Applause,) but while conscious, leading and Intelligent trai tors arc to ho punished, should whole communi ties and States and pcojjlo he made to submit to the penalty of death ? No, no ! I have perhaps ns much asperity and as much resentment as men ought to have, but we must reason In great matters of government about man as he is; wc must conform our actions and our conduct to the example of Him who founded our holy religion, not that I would make such a comparison on this occasion In any personal as pect. ItcgiiiEilng of Hie Administration. I came into this placcunder the Constitution the country and by the approbation of the people, and what did I find? I found eight millions of people who were in fact condemned under the law. and the penalty was death. Was I to yield to the spirit of revenge and resentment, and de clare that they should ail bo annihilated and des troyed ? How different would tills have been from the example set by the Holy Founder of our religion, the extremities of whose divine arch rest upon the horizon, and whose span embraces iho universe ! He who founded this great scheme came into the world and found man condemned under the law, and his sentence; wasdeath. What was his example? Instead of putting the world, or even a nation to death, lie died upon the cross attesting, by his wounds and His blood, that lie died that mankind might live, ((treat nppiau.se.) Masses of the .South. Let those who have erred repent, let Miem ac knowledge their-allegiance, let them become loyal, willing supporters and defenders of our glorious Stars and Ktripcs and of the. Constit ution of our country. Let the leaders, the con scious, intelligent traitors bo punished and be subjected to the penalties of the law (applause,) but to the great mass who have been forced into this Rebellion in many instances, and in others have been misled, I say clemency, kindness, trust and conlldcnce. (Groat applause.) The President's Position. My countrymen, when I look buck over the history of the Rebellion, I am not vain when I ask you If 1 have not given as much evidence of my devotion to the Union as some who croak a great deal about it; when I look back over the battle-fields of the Rebellion I think of the many bravo men in whose company X was ; I cannot but recollect that I was sometimes in places where the contest was most diflicult and the result most doubtful; hut almost before me smoke has passed away, almost before the blood that has been shed Ims done reeking, before the bodies of the slain have passed through the stages of decomposition, what do we now find ? Present State of Affairs, Tito Rebellion has been put down by the strong arm of the Government in the hold, but is that the only way In which you can have rebellion? Our struggle was against an attempt to dissever the Union, but almost before the smoke of the battle-field has passed away, before our brave men have all returned to their homes and renew ed the ties of affection mid love to their wlvesnnd their children, we find almost another rebellion inaugurated. Wo put down the former Rebellion in order to,prevent the sepaaation of the States, to prevent them from Hying off, and thereby changing the character of our Government and weakening Us power, but when that struggle on our part has* been successful, and that attempt lias been put down, wo find now an effort to con centrate all power In the hands of a few at the Federal head, and thereby bring about a consoli dation of the Government, which is equally ob jectionable with a separation. (Vociferous ap plause.) We find that powers are assumed, and attempted to be exercised, of a most extraordina ry character. It seems that Governments may lie revolutionized. Governments, at least maV lie changed without going through the strife of battle. J believe however it is a fact attested in history .that somotmes revolutions most disastr ous to a people are affected without the shedding of blood. Tile substance of your Government may be taken away, while the form and shadow remain to you. What is now being proposed? We find that in point of fact nearly all the powers of the Government are assumed by an irresponsible central directory, which does not even consult the legislative or the Executive De partments of the Government; by resolutions re ported from a committee, in whom it seems that practically the legislative power of the Govern ment is now vested; that great principle of the Constitution which authorizes and empowers eacli brunch of the Legislative Department of the .Senate and the House of’Repsesentatlves to judge for itself of the election returns and qualifications of its own members has been virtually taken away from the two brandies of the loglsative De partment of the Government, and conferred upon a committee who must report before either House can act under the Constitutionas to accepting 1 he members who are to take their seats as compo nent parts of the respective bodies. Ry this rule it Is assumed that there must ho laws passed recognizing a Statons in the Union, or in its practical relations to the Union as re stored, before the respective houses, under the Constitution, can judge of the election returns and qualification of their own members. What a position is that! You struggled for four years to put down a rebellion; you denied in the be ginning of the struggle that any Slate could go out of the Union; you said that it had neither the right nor the power to do so. The issue was made, and it has been settled that the State had neither the right nor the power to go out of the Union • with what consistency, after It Ims been settled by the military arm oftho Government, and by pub lic judgment, that the Stater had no right to go out of tlie Union, can any one now turn round ami assume that they are out, that they shall not come in. 1 am free to say to you, as your Executive, that I am not prepared to take anv such position. (Great applause.) I said in the Senate, in the very Inception of this Rebellion, that the States had no right to go out; I asserted too that they had no power to go out; that ques tion Has been settled, and it being settled I can not turn arpuiul now and give the Re direct to all that I have professed, and ali I have done for the last five years. (Applause.) When those who re belled comply with the Constitution; when they give suflicent evidence of loyalty; when they yield obedience to the law that vou and i acknowledge obedience to, I say extend them the right hand of fellowship, and let peace and union lie restored. (Tremendous applause.) Still In tlio Field. I fought traitors aud treason in the South J opposed the Davises, the Toombs, the Siidels and a .V? n S * ist of others, which you can readily till without my repeating the name. Now, when I turn round and at tho other end of tho line lincl men, I cave not by what name you call them who still stand opposed to the restoration of tho Union of these Stases, I am free to say to you that lam still in tho Held, (Great applause.)

Cithers haveexelalmeil that the Presiden tial obstacle must begotten out oft he way. What is Unit hut a make use ol a strong word hunting t o assassination? No doubt, 1 say, the intention was lo incite assassination, so the obstacle which tho people had placed here eould he got out of the way. Arolhe opponents of this Government not yet sntiSlled; are those who want to destroy our Institutions and to change tho character of the Government, not satisfied with tho quantity of blood that has been shod. Are they not satislled with one martyr hi this place? Does not the blood of Lincoln appease their vengeance and their thirst still unslaked? Do they still want more blood? Have they not honor and courage enough to seek to obtain tho end otherwise than through and hy the hand of the assassin. lam not afraid of an assassin attacking me whore one brave ami cou.’agcous man will at lack another. I only dread him when In disguise, ami where his footstep is noiseless. Ift hoy want blood lot thoin have the aonrago to strike? like men. I know they are willing to wound but afraid, to strike. If my blood is to bo shed because I vindicate tlie Union, and insist, on the preservation of Ibis (lovernniont. in Its origi nal purity, let it lie shed; but Jet an altar to the Union bo first erected, and then, if necessary, lake me and lay me upon it, and the blood that now warms and animates my existence shall bo pour ed out as the last libation, as a tribute to the Un ion of these Stales. (Great applause.) Hut, lot the opponents of this Government remember, when it Is poured out, that, the blood of the martyrs Is t lie seed of the. church. This Union will grow and it will continue to increase in strength and power, though it maybe cemented and cleansed in blood. I have already spoken to you longer than 1 in tended when I came out. (Go on.) Constitutional Amendments. I merely intended to make my acknowledg ments for the honor you have done me; but be fore I close allow me to say a word in regard to the question of amendments to the constitution of the United Slates. Shortly after I reached Wash ington, for the purpose of being inaugurated as Vice President of the United Slates, I had a con versation with Mr, Lincoln in regard to Iho con dition of affairs. We talked particularly In ref erence to matters in my own Slate. I told him that wc had called a Convention, that we had amended the Constitution, and that we had abol ished slavery in that Stale, which was not inclu ded in his Emancipation reclamation. All these things met his approbation, and ho gave mo words of encouragement. Wc talked theivabout affairs generally, and upon the subject of amendments to the Constitution of the United Slates; he said tome “When the amendment of the Constitution now proposed is adopted by three-fourths of the Slates, I am pretty near done, or Indeed quite done in favor of amending the Constitution If there was one oilier adopted.” [asked him. What is that, Mr. President? He said 1 have labored to preserve this Union. I have toiled during four years; 1 have been subjected to calumny and misrepresentation. My great and solo desire lias been to preserve these States intact under the Constitution as they were before.” I him again, “Mr. President, what amend ment is that which you would propose?” “ Why,” said lie, “ it is that there should lie an amendment added to the Constitution which would compel t lie Stales to send their Senators and Ileprcsonta lives to the Congsess of the United States. (Great applause.) The idea was in his mind that as a part of the doctrine of Secession one of the moans to break up tiiis Government was that the Stales, if they saw proper, might withdraw their Sena tors and Ilopsesenlatives, or refuse to elect them. He wanted even to remove that dillicnltv by a constitutional amendment, compelling thoStatcs to send Senators and Representatives to Congress. Hut. what do we now find? The Constitution of the country, even that portion of It which allows amendments to the organic law, expressly pro vides that no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage lathe .Senate, and it also provides that cadi State shall have at least one Representative In the House of Representa tives; but yet the position is taken that certain Slates shall not bo represented. We impose tax es upon them • we send our tax gatherers into ev ery region and portion of the States. These people are fltsubjects of Government for tiie collection of taxes, hut when they ask to par ticipate in the legislation of the country, they are met at the door and told no, you must pay taxes, you must bear burdens of Government, but you cannot participate in its legislation which is to ailed you through all lime to come; is tills justice is U fair? (No, no.) . I repeat lam for the Union, lam for preserv ing all the States. I am for admitting Into the Councils of the nation all the representatives who are unmistakably and unquestionably loyal. A man who acknowledges allegiance to the Govern ment,ami who swears to support the Constitution, must necessarily be loyal. A man cannot take that oath in good faith unless he is loyal. A men* amplification of the oatli makes no dif ference as to tiie principle. Whatever test is thought proper us evidence and as proof of loyal ty. ' s .a mere matter of detail, about which Xcare nothing; but let a man bo unmistakably and un que.itionably loyal, let him acknowledge allegi ance to the Constitution oflhc UuitedKlaies.and be wil ling to support the Government in its hour ol peril and Us hour of need, and I am willing to trust him. (Applause.) 1 know tlmtsome do not attach as much impor tance to t his point ns I do» but I regard it as a fun damental one. The principle Unit carried ns through tiie revoluliou was that there should be no taxation without representation. I hold to that principle, which was laid down as funda mental by our fathers.. If it was good then it Is good now. If it was worth standing by then, it Is worth standing by now. It is fundamental and should be observed as long as free govesnment 'i'lic Constitution. 1 mu awavo that In tbo midst of tlio Uebelllou it wassaid by.some that the Constitution Uiui been rolled ap as- a piece ofparehmcnt and laid away: tnal in tbncoi war and rebellion there was no Constitution.

The following is the act sanctioned by Stale Treasurer Kemble, which passed the House on February hi, and the Sen ate February 1-1, receiving a unanimous vote in both Houses : An Act to Amend the lievenue Lma of the Commonwealth. Suction 1. Bo it enacted by tiie .Senate and House of Representatives of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania in Gen eral Assembly met, and It is hereby en acted by the authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this act it shall be the duty of the cashier of every bank in this Commonwealth, whether incorporated under the laws of this State or of the United States, to collect Annual ly Rom every stockholder of said hunk a tax ot one per centum upon the liar value of tire stock held by said stockholder, ami to pay the same into the State Treasurer on or before the Ist day of .July in every year hereafter, commencing on the Ist of July, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six; and the said stock shall be exempt from all other tax ation under the laws of this Common wealth. Sue. 2, That in addition to the taxi* now provided for by law, every railroad, canal and transportation company incor porated under the laws of the common wealth, and not liable to the tax upon in come under existing laws, shall pay to tire Commonwealth a tax of three-fourtls of one per centum upon the gross receipts of said company. Tire said tux shall lie senu-anualiy upon the first days of July and January, commencing on the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, and for tiro purpose of ascer taining the amount of the same, it shall be the duty of the treasurer or other officer of said company, to transmit to the Audi tor General, at the dates aforsaid ; a state ment under the oath or afflramtion, of the amount of the gross receipts of the said company during the proceeding six mouths, and if any such company shall refuse or fail for a period of thirty days after such tax becomes due, to make said return, or to pay the same, tire amount thereof, with an addition to ten per cen tum thereto, shall be collected for the use of the Coihraonwenlth, as other taxes are recoverable by law from said companies. Sec. 3. Tire revenue derived under the second section of this act shall be applied to tire payment of the principle andiuter est of tiie debt contracted under act of the loth of May, 1861. entitled “An netto create a loan, and to provide, for arming the State. ” ■ . Sec. 4. From and after the passage oi this act the real estate of this Common wealth shall be exempt from taxation for State purposes. Provided, That this section shall not be construed to relieve the said real estate from the payment of any taxes due the Commonwealth at the dntc of the passage of this act. •Recoiid Youit Deeds. —The attention of parties holding unrecorded Deeds is di* ected to the provisions of the Act of As* scmbly, which requires that — and conveyances for real estate in tills Commonwealth, shall lie re corded in the office for Becording Deeds in the county where the lands lie, «i(w in six months after the execution of such deed and conveyance; and every auen deed and conveyance not recorded as aforesaid, shall be adjudged fraudulcm and void against any subsequent purcha ser for a valuable consideration, uiile*> such deeds bo recorded before the record ing of the deed or conveyance under which sucli subsequent purchaser or mortgagee shall claim.” This is a very important notice, ai«i those holding unrecorded deeds will see tho importance of having them recorded without further delay.
