lie "Secret Motlye. ” Opinion or President Lincoln's Attorney 'OoneTal .on 'ttee' : Vetoed Bill— -It tram "Planned to Overt urn the Government. In a letter to a meeting of conserva tive citizens of. St. Louis the. Hon. “Ed ward . Bates subjects the Freedmen’s Bureau bill to a merciless analysis, In yrjUch he exposes with unmistakable distinctness the ulterior revolutionary object of the proposed statute, and de nounces with appropriate but logioal se verity the dangerous subterfuge of its contrivers, which was counteracted by the prompt and bold interposition of the President. We subjoin the letter referred to : Bt. Louis, February 24,186 U. Gen. E. B. Brown, President of the State Central Committee OonservatCfflTUnion Parly: Sib: I am honored by the receiptof your note of this day, inviting me to bo present at amass meeting of the citizensof St. Louis, to be held at the Court-House this evening at half-past seven o’clock, for the purpose of endorsing the action of President John- Bon iD vetoing the Freodmen’s Bureau bill, and in support of his general policy of na tional reconstruction. I am very sorry that the bad state of my health forbids my attendance, and the more so because I believe there will not be a man at the meeting who feels a greater abhorrence than I do for the bill whose wicked career has been stopped by the President’s timely veto. ,My feeling upon this subject does not spring entire ly from my disgust of the factious spirit and ridiculous egotism of the clique which now domineers over Congress, but from the intrinsic demerits of the bill, ascertained by a careful examination of its provisions. I think I understand it. lean see (the most casual reader can see) its glaring and defiant breaches of the Constitu tion— and I think I can see also the hidden motive, the secret design of the conspirators, who planned the scheme to ovcrtui'nour Gov ernment of law, and set up in its stead a frightful military oligarchy. And this ■wicked purpose betrays itself in several provisions of the bill, which are so arranged in the context as to seem, to a hasty obser ver, to be secondary and suboodinalc to the ostensible object, the protection of the freed men. The bill provides (in its first section) for the continuance of the original act (of .March lid, 1805) to establish a Freedinon’s Bureau, and extends it to all refugees and freedmennn all parts of the United States. It empowers the President to divide the United States into districts, not to exceed twelve, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint an assistant commis sioner for each district. Twelve districts! That is the exact number into which Crom well divided the Commonwealth of Eng- land, and governed each district, despoti cally, by one of his own Major Generals.— This section goes on—“or the said Bureau may r .in the discretion of the President , be placed under a commissioner and assistant commissioners, to he detailed from the army.” And theact does not specify either the rank or the color of the persons so to be detailed from the army to rule the nation through the Freedmen’s Bureau. Section two empowers the commissioner to divide each district into sub-districts, (not less than a county or parish,) and to assign to each sub-district ”at least one agent, either a citizen, officer of the army, or enlisted man.” The section goes on to say, “each assistant commissioner may employ not exceeding six clerks; and each ■ agent of a sub-district (being one or more for each sub-district, as suits the pleasure of the commissioner) may employ two , clerks. And so in the twelve districts the clerks will amount to seventy-two; and in the sub-districts the agents will amount to at least as many thousand as there are coun ties and .parishes in the nation; and their clerks to double that number, besides the employees mentioned in the bill. And die same section provides that the President, through the War Department and the Commissioner, shall extend military pi ris<liction over all the employees, agents, and otficers of this bureau, in tho exercise of all the dulies imposed or authorized by this act, or the act to which this act is sup plementary.” And here I will draw your attention to that part of their duties especi ally imposed and authorized by the eighth section of the bill, thus : “And it shall bo the duty of the otficers and agents of this bureau, [all of them, great and small, with out distinction], to take jurisdiction of and hear and determine all offences committed against the provisions of this section ; and also of all cases aUeoling negroes, mulat toes, freed men, refugees, or other persons who are discriminated against, in any of the particulars mentioned in the preceding section of this act, under, not the Constitu tion and laws, but under such rules and regulations as the President of the United States, through the War Department, shall prescribe.” These are some of tho enormities of the vetoed bill, framed in the wantonness of partisan power, in contempt of the written Constitution, and in open violation of the historical opinions and traditionary laith of the people of the United States. As all these thousands ot officers, agents, and employees of the bureau may, at the discretion of the President, bedetailed from the army, it is plain that every man of them may be an enlisted man in the army, and white or black, as may best suit the fancy of the detailing ollieer. Only imagine such a military organiza tion, with a despotic head at tho seat of the Government, and despotic members perva ding tho whole mass of the community and exhibiting its power in organized form, in every county and parish, and the President bound, l>y Trumbull's bill, to extend mili tary protection over them, against every ef fort to restrain, by legal and civil means, tho wantoness of their arbitrary power! Think you that the people of the United States are ulready so far degraded into pas sive obedience as to submit tamely to such nil atrocious outrage, even if sanctioned by the unanimous voice of a factious Congress, and approved by a subservient President? No verily. They are not yet ready to aban don their Constitution and renounce all hopo of legal liberty, by giving over their lives, liberties, and properties, to be dis posed of at the caprice of petty officers and agents of a petty subdivision of the War Department, cailed a bureau. They will in sist upon their legal rights us freemen and American citizens; they will demand the protection of the laws of their country ; and if charged with crime, or drawn/into con troversy about property or contracts, they will insist upon a court and jury, and will refuse to be tried by any petty despot, “tie tailed from the army,” whether ho be white or black. - Constitutional government and liberty by law are worth lighting tor. We have just passed through a bloody war to main tain them against a set of traitors, and I make no doubt that tho people will be as ready, if need be, to resist in the same way any other set of traitors who seek to destroy the legal Government by insidious artifice and bold usurpation. An eminent English publicist, (Mill,) ori representative government, gives it as his opinion, that " representative institutions depend for their permanency upon the readiness of the people to fight for them in case of their being endangered. If too little valued for this, they seldom obtain a foot ing at all, and if tliey do, are almost sure to be overthrown' as soon as tho head of the government or any party-leader who can muster force fol* a coup de main is willing to run some small risk for absolute power? I think it a fortunate thing for the coun try, that the Radical faction is so demented .as to pick a quarrel with tho President be cause he refuses to be their instrument to * overturn the Constitution and substitute in its place a military despotism, and to stake their political fortunes upon the mon strous vices and follies of the Trumbull bill. For, in doing so, they do but insure their own defeat, and consequently, the restora tion of law. order, and peace, and revival of national respect for legal government and a national love for liberty by law. Even the emancipated negro, for whose sake it is pretended that this wrong is done, will not long fail to see the hypocrisy and fraud of the transaction. They will see that while they are cajoled with the pretence of liberty and equality befoie the law, this wicked bill subjects them to the power of • military overseers, excludes thorn from all legal protection, denies them the right to appeal to the courts of law for redress of grievances, and requires the agents and officers of the bureau to “ take jurisdiction of all cases” which concern them and their interests. Very respectfully, your friend and fellow citizen, Edward Bates. The lVpnlth or Illinois. From the official reports in the Audi tor’s office at Springiield, it appears that the assessed valuation of the real and personal property of Illinois for 1864 and 1865, in all the counties except Monroe and Pulaski, was as follows: In 1864 $356,700,050; in 1865, $391,603,284; in crease over last year, $34,894,231. This shows that notwithstanding the burdens of the war the State has added nearly ten per cent, to her actual wealth since the year 1864. The Southern counties almost invariably show a large increase In wealth, particularly in the case of such counties as Alexander, Johnson, Washington and a few others; while there seems to be danger that Bureau, Jo Daviess, Kendall, Bock Island and some others, will eventually become totally impoverished, unless the ebb of their riches as indicated by the assess ment returns, can somehow be stopped. —Poor Caudle said he dreamed that he had an angel by his side, and upon waking up found it was nobody but his, wife; « . LFrottL'All toe Year, Bo Unci. I One day lately, when I was in a very bad humur, I was passing the palace of Jones!. ,There was ahandsome carriage waiting at the door, and presently Jones himself came down the steps, assisted by a footman, and entered it. Jones 1 ' hair was slightly gray,' but he had a plump, ruddy, face, aDd looked like a person who enjoyed himself. Seeing that Jones was going out for his pleas ure at three o’clock in the afternoon, I thought it probable.thathe had nothing else to do on the face of the earth but enjoy himself. This man, thought Xto myself, is a sort of Fortunatus. When ever heputa his hand in his pocket-he finds money'there. He is not obliged to make'air dffbrt to obtain it. He toils not, neither does he spin; yet he is magnificent, and has all the pleasures of the world at his command. Now, the aggravating reflection about this, is that if Jones did toll and spin he wouldn’t Be half so well off as he is. What en- couragement is there for me to go home —to Hoxton—and rack my brain, when all my best efforts are not equal in sub stantial result to Jones doing nothing? I write a tragedy, he has but to write a check. This undistinguished Jones is my bloated aristocrat. When I see him lolling in his carriage, chinking the sov ereigns in all his pockets, I feel ready for the barricades. I mutter between myjeeth: Down with the bloated Joneses !” I ask, again, where do all these com mon people get their money? How should it be such an easy thing for them, and such a difficult thing for me ? How provokingly cool they are oyer it. But if I, after a hard struggle, obtain possession of a hundred pounds or so, I am as nervous as passible until I get it safely into the bank. And even then my mind is not at rest. What if the bank should break ? If I had five thousand pounds instead of five hun dred to my account, I feel certain I should never trouble myself about the stability of the bank. That is what I envy—not wealth itself, but its poten tiality. When I saw Jones in his carriage roll off from his door, I went my way in very ill-liumor. I don’t know that I wanted anything that day. All was right at Hoxton ; no duns nor any dis agreeables of any kind. I had seen my name in the papers; “rising young man, rapidly reaching the top round of the ladder,” one paper said I had reach ed it already; it was a very fine day ; I was in very good health ; I had several loose sovereigns in my pocket; and,for that day, and several more if I choose I had nothing to do but to enjoy myself. Still I was hypped and out of humor When f had wandered about for many hours among the guy scenesoftlie West end, seeking unalloyed pleasure and finding it not, I turned into a famous supper-room, where the digestion is pro moted by minstrelsy. I had heard that to sit in this room and eat chops and baked potatoes while a tuneful Choir, inspired by the diviue Nine, sing glees and madrigals, was to compass the very round and top of human enjoyment. I had heard that those chops and potatoes, accompanied by the lyre, were medicine for the mind diseased ; that they were potent to raze out the written troubles of the brain, and cleanse the stuff that weighs upon the heart. Remembering these tilings, I said to myself, “ If a man should need an antidote to poisoned thoughts, this should be the shop where he may procure it.” •, I entered ami encountered the good apothecary. His looks were not meagre ; his weeds were not tattered. On the contrary, he had a very jolly, rubicund face, and wore a most unexceptional surlout. He smiled, shook me by the Band, gave me snuff from a chest (box is not the word), and called me his dear boy. 'l’lie pain in my temper was van ishing at the very sight of the good apothecary. Ere the medicinal chop and potato were set before me, that pain departed Yes, yes; 1 am willing to own it. lam becoming reconciled to Hoxton, when suddenly my eye falls upon an elderly gentleman at one end of the table. It is Jones. He is sitting drinking claret out of a crystal goblet, smoking a very choice cigar—l know it by the ash —ami listening to the music with his eyes shut. I notice that his clothes are fine and rich ; his lingers are covered witli sparkling rings; his cambric shirt-front is ablaze with three dashing brilliants- He is enjoying him self at every pore. I can see it by the quiet way he puffs his cigar, by the gusto with which he sips his Lafitte, by tiie artful and knowing way—practiced Sybarite —in which he keeps his eyes closed that his ears may not be dis tracted from their drafts of delight. Bloated Jones! hated member of a nameless but pampered class. At the very sight of Jones, Hoxton starts up before me in all its meanness and loathsomeness. Look at him, how he wallows in pleasure! Whata power of enjoymemt he has ! I feel certain that if lie were to give me one of those choice cigars of his I could not extract half the enjoyment frotn it that he does; I could not find half the flavor in the Lafitte. And see how thoroughly he enjoys the music; never opens his eyes, while his face beams with an expression of themost exquisite pleasure. By-and by, when he lias had his fill of delight, he will roll home in his luxurious car riage, while I —ah ! I see he is about to go now. He lias thrown away the end of his cigar and is putting on his gloves. A gentleman from the other end of the table comes forward with his hat and stick. The gentleman is evidently Jones’ servant, his butler, or his valet. Fancy that! The gentleman hands Jones his hat and gold headed walking stick, and takes him by the arm. Bloated, pampered nobody! The waiters are making way for him as he passes along; the gentlemen at the tables arising to draw their chairs out of the way. -- “ Is he so very distinguished a person, then ?” I ask. “ Oh, no,” is the reply, “ but thepoor old gentleman is blind.” Blind 1 Let me go home to Hoxton and say my prayers. Speech at a Marriage Festival ■ The following little speech, which smacks of poetical genius, “was made in Memphis, by a bridegroom at the wed ding supper table: To-night I shake hands with the past. I live henceforth in future joys. An unknown door is opened wide, and I enter an abode of perfect beatitude. — These two persons, whose lives have been well spent, have reared and train edjn love and kindness the sharer of my future joys and woes. If my life be blissful, I will owe them much, in that they have imbued the mind and heart of their adopted child with lessons of purity, kindness, truthfulness and love. lam confident of the future. Theshad owof the present shall fall upon it, even when my bride and I have grown old, and invest it with sunset glories.— The man who in youth knew some softsoul-subduing air, melts when again he hears it sung. Although it is not half so touching, yet it awafces sweetest echoes in dreamland, and to age it re peats the story of youthful passions, hopes and lave. I may not deserve the good I have won. Love is notwon. It gives itself, and, ifnotgiven, no wealth, genius, beauty, state or wit, no gold of earth or gem of heaven, is rich enough to porchase it. Loving thee, my bride, my heart shall keep its old memories, like the sea-shell its wonted melody. But away with forebodings on a wed ding night! Love’s music steals on us like dawning over all the heavens spreads and invests the world with beauty and glory. The road that led on through the unknown future was dark and dreary, buta celestial splendor now lights up the gloom, and the fair bride, her spirit-self a Peri at the gates of Paradise, invites me onward and up ward to a life of purest pleasures and duties of benificence. At the Dead Letter office in Wash ington, a letter was recently received containing a check for $B,OOO in coin, directed to a lady in New York, re questing her “ to accept the inclosed as a return for the kindness shown my father and mother,” dated at the Astor House and signed “ John,” who was to start immediately for Europe.

The. republic was founded more than four teen centuries ago, on moral principles, induatry and equity,, and, has preserved its liberty and independence amid all the wars and discords which have raged around it. Bonaparte respected it and , sent an embassy to express his senti ments of friendship and fraternity. It is governed by a captain resident, chosen every six months, by the repre sentatives of the people (sixty-six in number), who are also chosen every six months by the people.

Some tell me the wholesome trade is the best, but I believe the ringtail will be the most benefieious to him.” Somebody lias found out a new way of taking pictures, by which they can be better taken in the night than in the day time.

A young man named Spencer went to .church in t),uincy, Illinois, witli some matches and some “eggs of Pha raoh’s serpents” in his pocket. The sermon was long, and the young man became uneasy; the matches were lighted by the friction caused by bis movements, the eggs hatched, and tire serpents made their way out of his pocket, wriggling and squirming with a great and disa greeable smell of burning chemicals. The congregation were greatly scandal ized, and the clergyman considered the illustration of his denunciations of the wicked a very feeble one. —I f there be a pleasure on earth which angels cannot enjey, and which they might almost envy man the possession of, it is the power of relieving distress.

Seigfriod, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist Church, Philadelphia. Gentlemenl have recently been laboruig nder the distressing eflecls of indigestion, ac companied by a prostration of the nervous sys tem. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but with out relief. Your Hooflaud’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of tfiese Bitters induced me to try them. I must con fess that I nadan aversion to Patent Medicines from tlie “tbousand and one" quack “Bit ters,” whose oniy aim seems to be to palm off - sweetened and drugged liquor upon the com munity in. a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation I took It with happy effect. Its action, not ouly upou the stomach, but upou the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying. 1 feel that I have de rived great and permanent benefit from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully vours, W. D. SEIGFRdED, No. 254 Shackamuxou atreet. rOKTFOLIOS From the Rev. E. D. Kendall, Assistant Editor Christian Chronicle. Philadelphia. I have derived decided beuetit from the use of Hoofland’s German Bitters, and reel it my Srivilege to recommend them as a most vnlua le tonic, to all who are suffering from gen eral debility or from diseases arising from de rangement of the liver. Yours truly. E. D. FENDALL. From Rev. I). Merrige. Pastor of the Passyuuk Baptist Church, Philadelphia. From the many respectable recommenda tions given to Dr. Hoofland’s German Bitters, 1 was induced to give them a trial. After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy for debility, and a most excellent? tonic for the stomach. From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vinoenttown and Millville (N. J.) Baptist Churches. Having used in my family a number of bot tles oi your Hoofland’s German Bitters, j have to say that I regard them as an excellent med icine, specially adapted to remove the diseases they are recommended for. They strengthen and invigorate the system when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of appetite, Ac. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, who have.lried them, and tound them greatly beneficial in the resto ration of health. Yours truly, WILLIAM SMITH. DG6 Hutchinson street.

J., formerly of the North Baptist Church, Philadelphia, at pre sent Pastor of the Baptist Church, Chester, Pa. ****** I have known Hoofland’s German Bitters favorably for a number of years’ I have used them in my own family, and have been so pleased with effects, that I was induced to recommend them to many others, and know Lhat they have operated in a strikingly benefi cial manner. I take great pleasure lu tbits publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention of those afflicted with the diseases for which they are recommended, to these Bitters, knowing lrom experience that my recommen dation will be sustained. Ido this more cheer full as Hoofland’s Bitters is intended to benefit the afflicted, and is “ not a rum drink.” • * * * * From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge and Christian Philadelphia. Although ait disposed to favor or record mend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingredients and effect•, I yet know oT no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to Ute !>• neflts he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, lu theyhope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof land’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, oi this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the Im pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I am Indebted to my friend. Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju dice by proper tests and for encouragement to try them when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief ana restor ation to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend directing me-tothe use of them. J. NEWT.ON BROWN, Philadelphia. From the Rev. Thos. Winter. T>. D., Pastor of Roxborough Baptist Church. Dear Sir : I feel itdue toyourexcellentprep aration, Hoofland’s German Bitters, to aad my testimony to the deserved reputation it has obtained.
