to control the action of this numerous
class, and to use them for the attainment
of his owniolitical ende. .
I cannot but add "another very grave
objection to the bill. The Constitution
imperatively declares,_ in connection with
taxation, that each State shall bar:, at
least one representatives and fixes-the rule
for the number tho' which. in future times
etch State shall be entitled; it also pro
vides that the Senate of the U. States,
shall be composed of two Senators from
each State, nod adds with peculiar fore!,
that no State, witheuk . , its,
„,consent i .
lie depiiVed of its equal suffrage in the
Senate. T4e original act, was necessarily
passed in the absence Of the States chiefly
to lie affected, because their people were
then contumaciously engaged in the er
bellion.
Now - the case is changed, and some,
at least, of the States are attending Con
gress by loyal representation soliciting
the allowance of the constitutional right
of representation. At the time, however,
of the consideration and the passing of
this bill, there was no Senator or Repre
sentative in Congress from the eleven
States which are to be mainly affected by
its provisions. The. very fact that reports
were and are made against the good dis
position of the country is an additional
reason why they need and should have
representation in Congress, to explain
their condition, reply to accusations, and
assisted by their local knowledge in per
fecting measures immediately affecting
themselves, while the liberty of delibera
tion would then be free snd Congress
would have full power to decide according
to its judgment, there could be no objec
tion urged that the States most interested
had not - been permitted to behe.ard. The
principle is firmly fixed in the minds of
the American people that there should
be no taxation without representation.
Great burdens have , now to be borne by
all the country, and we may best demand
that they shall be borne without murmur ,
when they are voted by a majority of the
representatives of all the peokle. I would
not interfere with the unquestionable right
of Congress to judge and act for itself of
the elections, returns and qualifications of
its own members, but that authority can
not be construed as including the right to
shut out, in time of peace, any State from
the representation to which it is entitled
by the Constitution at present.
All the people of eleven , States are ex
cluded; those who were most faithltil dry
ring the war not less than others. The
State of . Tennessee, for instance, whose
authorities engaged in rebellion, was re
stored to- all her constitutional relations
to the Union by the patriotism and ener
gy of her injured and betrayed people.
Before the war was brought to a termi
'laden they had placed themselves in re
lation with the General Government; had
established a State Government of their
own, and as they were not included in the
emancipation proclamation, they, by their
own a et_hafj, mnded_ 7*
tio - na - to abonsu slavery Wlllllll the limits
of theirown State.
I know no reason why the State of Ten
nessee, for example, should not fully en
j.,y all her constitutional relations to the
United States. The President or the
United Statei stands towards the coun
try in a somewhat different attitude from
that of any member of Congress chosen
from a single district or State. The Pres
ident is chosen by the people of all the
States. Eleven States are not at this
time represented in either branch of Con
gress, and it would seem to be his duty,
on all proper occasions, to present their
just claims to Congress. •
There always will be differences of opin
ion in the community, and individuals
may be guilty of transgressions of thelaw;
but these do not constitute valid objec
tions against the right, of a State to rep
resentaion, and would in no wise inter
fere with thd discretion of Congress with
regard to the qualifications of members,
but I hold it my duty to recommend to
you in the interests of peace, and in the
interest of the Union, the admission of ev
ery State to its share in public legislation
when, however insubordinate,
.insurgent
or rebellions its people may have been, it
loesents itself not only in an attitude of
yalty and harmony, but in the persons
of representatives whose loyalty 'cannot
be questiened under any existing consti
tutional of legal tests. ,
It is plain that an indefinite or perma
nent exclusion of any part of the country
from representation must be attended by
a spirit of disquiet .and complaint. It to
unwise and dangerous to pursue a course.
of measures which will unite a very large
section of the country againstanotbersee
tion of the country, however,mtich the
latter may preponderate: The course of

Congress,• if in a ! permanent statute they
are declared not to be in full constitution

they have cause to becomoa unit in feel

Under the political education 'at Amen

radicable that the consent of tbe majority
ofthe whole people is necessary tosecure
a 'willing-acquiescence in legislation:- t•

assume that with the Federal 'courts re

the

I return the bill to the Senate in the

the country will not become a law, un
less upon deliberate consultation by the
people it shall receive the sanction of an
enlightened public judgment.

TUESDAY, FEB. 27, 1866.
The Veto Message, No. 1.
We take pleasure in presenting the ve
to message to our readers, entire, in this
paper,, hoping all will read it carefully. As
stated by the President., the main objec
tions to the bill are: ft, gives too much
power to the Executive ; it is too expen
sive and burdensome
. h is unnecessary-;
ik was ; assed in the absence of represen.
tation of the .States chiefly to be affected
by it ; and, finally, it' is unconstitutional.
AS the negro bureau organs, will not
dare print thelnessage, but congeal its
wholesome truths from their readers, we
suggest that our friends will lend this pa
.per to their Republican neighbors, that
they may be enabled to see some of the
mums of their party.
Of course this is only veto message No.
1; Nos. 2,3, etc., will follow as fast as
the:fanatics darb force the issues upon
their " beloed President."
The Cabinet and the Veto.
A special despatch to the shoddy In
quirer says:
"It is now definitely ascertained that
Messrs. Harlan, Stanton and Speed oppos
ed the President's veto message; while
Messr3. McCtilltich, Welles and Sewsird
gin "Wang, and Mr.
Dennison gave in his adhesion to the
measure but a few days since. No resig
nations of members of- the Cabinet have
been sent in yet, nor is there any immedi
ate probability of any."
Of course not ; Stanton gt Co. don't
belong to the class of men who leave
where they are not wanted, until they
are told to go. But their time'will come.
Rejoicings of the People.
The President's veto of the Negro
Boarding-house Bureau bill has aroused
the most' unbounded enthusiasm for its
author in every city, town and village in
the North from which we have had any
intelligence. The salutes fired, the shouts,
the speeches, the ringing of bells, the de
monstrations of joy of every kind which
have taken place, testify unmistakably
how deeply the people feel upon the sub
ject of maintaining the old Constitution
and the original form of our Republic
against the innovations, the encroach
meats, and graspings after power, of those
revolutionary spirits who have unfortun
ately succeeded 'to a• monopoly of one
branch of the government.
On the other hand, the mortification
visible on the faces, and the mutterings
heard from the lips of the, partisans of. the
Stevens-Sumner school are unmistakable of
smothered wrath, which, sooner or later,
will burst forth with volcanic force, but
impotent for evil. ,
God speed the. President in the good
work commenced. Let the Union be re
stored under the' rule of White Men—as
it was founded, Maintained; and intended
to be eternally continued; let peace, and
prosperity, and harmony prevail universal
ly; Mid Democracy will everywhere re

Congress and thd Veto.
The radicals had hoped that Mr. John
son, Lincoln-like, could be ootti`ed or scold
ed:into all their measures, right or wrong
—therefore the burean-makers were as
much astonished and enraged' when the
President smashed their piece of furni
ture, as the UNioN men were gratified.—
The nett day, after Trumbull had made a
tierce speech condemning the veto, the
question being celled for, the chair an
flounced. that...it-was: "Shall the bilLpasf l / 2 -
the President's objections notwithstand
ing?" Upon which the yeas and nays
were required by the Constitution. The
vote wait as' follows; :.
Yeas—Messrs. Anthony, Brown; Chand
ler, Comaess, Cragin, Cresswell, Fessen
den, Foster, Grimes, Harris, Henderson,
Howard, Howe, Kirkwood, Lane of Indi
ana, Lane of Kansas, Morrill, Nye, Po
land, Pomeroy,Ramsey,Sherman,Sprague,
Sumner, Trumbull, Wade, Williams,Wil
son, Yates-30.
Nays—Messrs. Ruckalew,Cowan,Davis,
Dixon, Doolittle, Guthrie, Hendricks,
Johnson, McDougal, Morgan, Nesmith,
Norton, Riddle, Saulsbury, Stockton,Stew
art, Van Winkle, Willey-18.
Absent, Messrs. Foot and Wright.
(Republicans voting nay, in italics.)
And so falls the negro boarding house;
a two-thirds vote in both branches being
required to overcome the veto.
Not content with their defeat, the rad-
icals at once offered, in the" Senate, an .
amendment to the Constitution to prevent
Andrew Johnson (or any other man) from
being re-elected President ; and this for
the purpose, we presume, of testifying
their undying hatred of the man who re
fuses tii - jogstitute himself, his oath of of-
See, and' the Constitution, at, their bid
ding.
In , the House; Thad Stevens,' to show
his anger at the President for having, in
the message, made complaint that the
South was wrongly excluded from Con
gress, offered a resolution that no South
ern man should be admitted until Con
gress shall see fit to so o declare ; which
was passed under the gag-rale. The
friends of the President and the Union of
fered an amendment favoring the admisr
sion of members from the President's
own State, upon taking the oath ; but
this was rejected by the majority who are
the enemies alike of the President, the
white race,`and the Union.
The Dead Duck Party.
The Dead Duck—as•the President calla
Forney cto.,—managers of the negro par
ty hold a state convention next week to
nominate a whipped candidate for Gover
nor, and unless as cowardly as fanatica l l,
will show their hands on the issues of the
day. "Lame Ducks," are common in po
litical puddles, but "Dead Ducks" are a
new variety, which of late have been fed
by Andy Johnson, who can't endure 'em
any longer. The title is not only appli
cable to the flat-footed and flat-nosed
features of the darkey-party, but is signifi
cant of the fact that the party leaders,
having committed suicide, remain to be
buried, and at the funeral Johnson will
be sexton, not mourner.
Andrew Jackson—Andrew Johnson.
When Andrew Johnson became Presi
dent, the Montrose Republican, which then
supported him, predicted that he would be
a second Andrew Jackson. If that paper,
which now opposes him, will DARE to print
his recent utterances, its readers can see
how far the prediction is being realized.
But we fear that paper will continue to
deprive its readers of a knowledge of the
President's opinions.
D. D.—Forney having classed Presid't
Johnson with Jeff Davis, he rewards J.
W. with the title of D, D.
iMournment of the Legislature.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has
adjourned over from the 16th to the 27th
instant, eleven days. Meanwhile their
pay goes on at. the rate of about twenty
dollars a day.
This adjournment costs the State at
least forty thousand dollars, and the time
covers about one-fourth of the working
days of the session. It. is simply a great
outrage 0)2 the tax-payers of the State.—
What is the reason of it? If the Legisla
ture has no work to do, letit adjourn and
the members go hoine. -
We suspect the cause. The Republi-
Can majority want to spin out the session
unjil the new batch of constitutional
amendments can come before them and,
be sailed. Ilow . long .will , the people ,
submit .Lo .t his , ; conduct, on the part of
their., serva nts?': If they; i contippe much;
longer unchecked they will become our
masters.

ANDREW JOHNSON SPEARS-THE
LION ROUSED.
An immense ratification meeting was
held in Washington On Feb. 20, toen
dorse the President's. veto.
The Republican Senators who voted to
sustain the vetch-, and many Democrats
and other Union men were upon the plat
form., Speeches were made by.prominent
Democrats, such as S. S. Cos, Senator
Hendricks! and A.. J. Regers and- by
XPD.t.g.comM. Blair,..lOte -of _ Dir. Lincoln's
onbinet, and others. Resolutions were
adopted endorsing the rPresident, and
when the meeting adjourned, a committee
called upon the President to present the
resolutions, and the crowd followed to
serenade him. In response, the President
made a lengthy speech, of which we can
only copy. some paragraphs to-day ; but
they are enough show that the rupture
is complete—that the President accepts
the issue made by the enemy, and means
to fight it oat.
The President, as he appeared, was re
ceived with enthusiastic and long contin
ued applause. When it had subsided, he
spoke as follows:
TUE PRESIDICIT'S SPEECH.
Fellow citizens, for I presume I have a
right to address you as such, I come
to , tender to you my sincere thanks
for the approbation expressed by your
Committee in their personal addressand
in the resolutions submitted by them as
having been adopted by the meeting
which has been held in this city to-day.
These resoltitionS, us I . understand them,
are complimentary to the policy which
has been adopted by the' Administration,
and -has been `steadily pursued since it
came into power.iamfree to say to you it
is extremely gratifying to me to know that
on this occasion so large a portion of
my,fellow citizens approve and indorse
the policy which has been adopted and
which it is myintention 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 Government of the United States.
(Renewed applause.)
* * * *
SLAVERY.
There was, in a portion of the Union, a
peculiar institution, of which some com
plained, and to which others were attach-
Cached. One portion of our countrymen
in the South advocated that institution,
while another portion in the North op
posed it.
EXTREME PAY:TIES.
The result was the forniation of extreme
parties, one especially in the South,which
reached a point at which it was proposed
to alssulVl3 i,he Union of the States tor the
purpose, as was said, of securing and pre
serving that peeuliar institution of the
South.
I say these things because I desire to
talk plainly and in familiar phraseology,
I assume nothing here to-day beyond the
position of a citizen ; one who has been
pleading for his country and the preserva
lion of the Constitution. (Immense cheer
ing.) These two parties, I say, were ar
rayed against e ich other,ancl I stand here
before you for the Union to-day, as I stood
in the Senate of the .United States in
1860 and 1861.
IN THE SENATE
I met there those who were making
war upon the Constitution, those who
wanted to disrupt the Govertnnent, and I
denounced them in my place then and
there, and exposed their true character. I
said that those who were engaged in the
work of breaking up the Government
were traitors. I have never ceased, on
all proper occasions, to repeat that senti
ment, and as far as my effort could go, I
have endeavored to carry it out. (Great
applause.) I have just remarked that
there were two parties, one of which was
for destroying the Government and sepa
rating the Union, in order to preserve
slavery, and,the other for breaking up the
Government in order to destroy slavery.
True, the objects which they sought to
accomplish were different, so far as slave
ry was concerned, but they agreed in the
desire to break up the Government, the
precise thing to which I have always been
opposed, and whether distmionists come
from the South or from the North, I
stand now as I stood then, vindicating
the Union of these States and the Consti
tution of my country. (Tremendous ap
plause.)

Men may talk about beheading and
about usurpation, but when 1 am behead
ed I want the American people to be the
witnesses. Ido not want it, by inuendoes
and indirect remarks in high places, to be
suggested to men who have assassination
brooding in their bosom, there is a fit
subject.. Others have exclaimed that, the
Presidential obstacle must, be gotten out
of the way. What is that but a make use
of a strong word inciting to assassination?
No doubt, I say, the intention was to in
cite assassination, so the obstacle which
the people had placed here could be got
out of the way. Are the opponents of
this Government not )et satisfied; are
thosewho want to .destroy our institutions
and to change the character of the Gov
ernment, not satisfied with the quantity
of blood that has been abed. Are they
not satisfied with one martyr in this place?
Does not the blood of Lincoln appease
their vengeance and their thirsts ill un
slaked ? Do they still want more blood ?
have they not honor and courage enough
to seek to obtain the end otherwise than
through and by the hand of an assassin.
lam not afraid of an assassin attacking
me where one brave and eourageons man
will attack another. I only dread him
when in disguise and where his footstep
is noiseless.
* * * *
THE ..N:ORTIIRIIN TRAITORS
HE Di NOT TO BE BULLIED
BEHEADING
If they want blood let them have the
courage to strike like men. I know they
are willing to wound but afraid to strike.
If my blood is to be shed because I vindi
cate the Union, and insist on the preser
vation of this Government in its original
purity, let it be shed; but let an altar to
the Union be first erected, and then, if
necessary, take me and lay me upon it,
and the blood that now wartus and ani
mates my existence shall lie poured out as
the last libation, as a tribute to the Union
of these States. (Great applause.) But
let the opponents of this Government re
member, when it is poured, that theblood
of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
This Union will grow, and it will continue
to increase in strength and power, though
it may be cemented and cleansed in blood.
I hal,:e already spoken to you longer than
I intended when I came out. - (Go on.)

One of the principal contributors to the Diettonarier of
Oreek and Roman Antiquities, Biography, arid Geog
raphy.
Since Sir Walter Raleigh solaced his im prisonment in
the Tower by the composition of his " History of the
World," the Literature of Ragland has never achieved
the work which be left unfinished. There have bees
" tlniverval Histories." Prim the bulk of an encyclope
dia to the most meagre outline, in which the annals of
each nation are separately recorded,' but without an at
tempt to trace the story ofDivine Providence and ha•
man progress. In one connected narrative. It is pro ,
posed to supply this want bye work, condensedenougb
to keep it within a reasonable size, and yet so fall as hl
be free from the dry baldness of an epitome. The ilter•
mare of Germany abounds in history—such as those of
Muller, Schlosser, Karl Von Rotteck, Duneker, and oth
ers,—which at once prove the demand forsuch a book,
and furnish models, in come degree, for its execution.
Bat even those great works are somewhat deficient in
that organic malty which is the chief aim of this "
tory or the World."
The story of our whole race, like that of each-separate
nation, has " a beginning,a middle and an end." That
story we propose to follow, from its beermingin the sa
cred records, and from the dawn of: civilization in Abe
Bast,—throngh the engem ire Oriental Empires.—ta
riseof liberty and the perfection of heathen polity, arts.
and literature In Greece and Rome.—the change which
passed over the face of the world when the light of
Christianity sprung up—the origin and first apparent')
of those barbarian races whicheverthrew both division
of the Roman Empire,—the annals of the States which
rose on the Empire's ruinsjnelading the picturesque
details of medieval history, and the steady progress of
modern liberty and civillzatlen.—and the extensions) ,
these Influences, by discovery, conquest, colonization,
and Christian missions, to the remotest
,regloasnf the
earth. In a word, as separate histories renal the det
tacked seance of human action and suffering; mar aim is
to tiring into one view the several part a which Assured
