Tba following Is the President tncssago vetoing the Colorado bill : To Die Senate of the Vn itcd Stale : I return to the Senate, in which Flouse it originated, the bill which has passed both Houses of Cougrcw, entitled "An Act lor the admission of the State of Colorado into the Union," with my objections to its becoming a law at this time: .1 First. From tbe best Information which I have been able to obtain. I do not pnn.i.l. r tho establishment of a State government ut present necessary for the welfare of the peo ple in Colorado. Under the exisiinc Terri. torial government all the rights privileges and interest of the citizens are protects 1 and secured. Tho qualified voters choose their own legislators and their own local officers, and are represented in Congress by a delegate of their own selection. They make aud execute their own municipal laws, subject only to revision by Congress nn authority not likely to be exercised unless in extreme or extraordinary cases. The pop ulation is small, some estimating it so low as twenty-five thousand, while advocates of the bill reckon the number at from thirty five thousand to forty thousand souls. The people are principally recent settlers, many of whom are understood to be rotidy for removal to other mining districts, beyond the limits of the Territory, if circumstances shall render them more iuviting. Such a population cannot but find relief from ex cessive taxation. If the Territorial system, which devolves the expenses of 'the- Execu tive, Legislative and Judicial departments upon tbe United States, is for the present continued, they cannot but find the security of person and property iuci eased by their reliance upon the national Executive power for the maintenance of luw and order, again&t the disturbances necessarily incident to an newly organized communities. Second. It is uot siitinl'uctorily estuliliolied that a majority of the citizens of Colorado desire or are prepared for an exchange of a Territorial for a State government. Iu Sop- teinucr, loui, unacr tue nutnorily ol Con gress, an election was lawfully appointed and held for the purpose of ascertaining tho views of the people upon this pnriiculnr question; 0,192 votes were cast, and of this numucr a majority i 3,10a was given against the proposed change. In Septem ber, 1 803, without any lognl authority, the question was again presented to the people of the Territory, with the view of obtaining a reconsideration of the result of the diction held in compliance with the uc. of Co)igris, approved March 21, 1804. At this second election, 5,903 votes were polled, and a ma jority of 155 was given iu fuvor of a Stale organization. It rloeB not seem to uio en tirely safe to receive this last mentioned result, so irregularly obtained, as sufficient to ovcrweigh the one which had been lg41y obtained in tberfrit election. Regularity and conformity to l2ftv are essential to the preservation of order and a stable govern ment, and should, us fur us practicable, always be observed in the formation of new States. Third. The admission of Colorado at this time as a State in the Federal Union, appeals tome to be incompatible vt ith tliu public interests of the country ; aud while it 13 de sirable thHt Territories, when sufficiently matured, should be organized as States, yet the spirit of the Constitution seems to re quire that there should be an approximation towards equality among the several States comprising the Union. No S'nte con have less or more than two Senators in Congress. The largest Stute has a population ot four millions; several of the States have a popu lation exceeding two millions, and in any others have a population exceeding one million. . If this bill should become a law, the peo ple of Colorado, thirty thousand in number, would have iu the House of Representatives one member, while New York, with a popu lation of tour millions, has bat thirty-one. Colorado would have in the Electoral Col lego thrce'votes, while New York bus only thirty-three. Colorado would have in the Senate two votes, while New York bus 110 more. Inequalities of this character have already occurred, but it is believed that uone have happened where the inequality was so great. When such inequality has been allowed, Congress is supposed to have permitted it on the ground of some high public necessity, and uuder circumstances which promised that it would rapidly disappear through the growth and development of the new ly ud mittcd State. Thus, in regard to the several States in what was formerly called the "Northwest Territory," lying west of the Mississippi, their rapid advancement in pop ulation rendered it certain that States ad mitted with only one or two representatives in Congress, would, In a very snort period, be entitled to a great increase of representa tion. So, when California was admitted on tbe ground of commercial and political exigencies, it iras well foreseen that that State vas destined rapidly to Decome a great, prosperous and important mining and commercial community. In the case of Col orado I am not aware that ai.y national exi gency, either of a political or commercial nature, roquircg a departure from the law of equality which has been so geuetally adhered to in our history. If information submitted in connection with this bill is reliable, Colorado, instead of increasing, has declined iu population. At an election for members of a Territorial Legislature, held iu 1805, 10,580 votes were cast. At the election before mentioned, in 1804, the number of votes cast was 6,102, whilo at the irregular election, held in 18U5, which is assumed as a basis for legislative action at this time, tbe aggregate of votes cast was 0,003. ' Sincerely anxious for the welfare and prosperity of every Territory and Stute, as well as lor the prosperity aad welfare of the whole Union, I regret this apparent decline of population in Colorado ; but it is mani fest that it is due to emigration, which is going on from that Territory unto ether re gions within the United States, which either are iu fact or are believed by the inhabitants of Colorado to be richer iu miucral wealth and agricultural resources. If, however, Colorado hat not really declined in popula tion, another census or another election un der the authority of Congress would plaoe the question beyoud doubt, and cause but little delay in the ultimate admission of the Territory at a 6ute, if desired by the people. Jbe tenor of .these objections furnishes tbe. leply which may be expected' to an ar gument 14 favor of tue measure derived from (be Enabling Act, which was passed by Cou great on tbe -1st day of March, 1864, al though OoogroM then supposed that the 18GG. OLD condition of the Territory was such as to warrant its admission as a Stotc. The result of the two years' experience shows that eve ry reason which existed for the institution of a Territorial instead of a State govern- morit in uoiorano at its nrst organization still continues in force.

Eleven of the old States have been for some time unrepresent ed in Congress.

In a recent letter he gives an account of a visit to a cataract of forty feet greater height than Niagara, and surrounded with elements of. grandeur which the latter lacks. We extract from tho letter as follows : "Next morning at 3 o'clock start for tho Shoshoneo Fall, called bv the Indiaus Pnu- chu-lal- a, or Gift of the Great Spirit, which nave never tietore been approached by a 10 sue it obtaining ground among the pale vehicle or seen by 50 white men. Six miles ! checked belles ol New York and Philadel- out turn Irom the stngc road, northward upon ini! ueserr, wncre t lie tail sage brtrMi, crushed by our slow wheelf, loads the Atr 1. .. w, . wiiii ueuvy periuine. 1 nroimii tne turn dawn we are guided by the' everlasting pillar of cloud rising from the Full, six miles away, and soon we hear faintly the eternal roar of tnc cataruct.- "Still, the river is invisible in its winding chasm, 1,000 feet below the surface of the plain ; but now, at three miles more clearly we. hear its thrilling roar, and see the mist, with its violet tinge of rainbow, which arises forever and ever, as if old Shoshonre wcro taking a vapor bath or smoking his pipe. At hist wo leave coach and mules on a broken floor of brown lava ; press forward a few yards ; descend a precipice for 300 feet by a natural rock Btnirway ; walk a quarter of a mile across a terrace of grass and cedar, and stnm'. upon a second precipice. Peering over its edge, &00 feet below us, wc behold the river, after its terri lie leap, peace ful mid placid as a mirror. Haifa mile above us, in lull view, is the Great Fall. It is un equalled in the world savi'Niagura, of which it vividly reminds one. It , has the same undying rainbow. The volume of water is jiot more than one-fourth as large, for its crescent summit is only 800 feet iu width ; but the descent (200 feet) is one-third greater, whilo just above the brink vast sullen port als of luva, rising for hundreds of feet on each bank, supply nn elcmeut of grandeur which the greatest ot cataracts altogether lacks. One of these lava columns is crowned with an eagle's nest. Below the Fall, over the canon's side wall, stunted, shriveled ce dars, cling to the rock with roots like claws. Upon the withered brunch of one perches a bite tailed magpie, while on another, statu esque and motionless, rests an enormous, raven, bluck as jet. "Not daring to attempt the descent of the upright, almost unbroken wall, with out the aid of ropes, I walked up along tho edge of the chasm past curious rock forma tions, one a natural area or tuunel, large enough to admit a sugur hogshead. At a point just below the brink, I crept out to the edge of a projecting rock. Clingiug to a hardy cedut, I saw the peaceful waters 250 feet below me; the river, gliding swiftly, but calm und smooth, to the edge; the long plunge, and the tidies cauluron which boiled beneath under wafting clouds of spray. The Full itself is of the purest white, iuterspersed with myriads of glitter ing, glassy drops, a cataract of snow, with an avaluiiche of jewels. Mocking and belittling all earthly splendor, Nature is here in her bice and and pearls, her robe of diamonds und tiara of rainbow. . "At night, descending a perilous dug-way to the Shoslmnee, we crossed by the Over land Ferry, and after supper at the log sta tion, went out by moonlight to view a dark gorge in its rear, shut iu by basaltic wall, a00 feet high. From one of these, 50 feet above the ground, gush 20 springs, varying in size from one's arm to a Hour barrel, all lashed into silvery spray as they leap down the jutting rocks, at whose base they blend into one, forming a stream a hundred feet wide, which disclinrgesTnto tho Shoshonee. This wonderful spring or fountuin is sup posed to be the resurrection and new life of the M unlade river which died and was hur ried in the debert 60 miles away. I know of no equal or parallel for it. It "is 170 miles from lioise City nud within half a duy's rida of the great Fall." "."ortW" nud month" tu Uermau)', The rationale of the difference between Prussia and Austria may be stated very briefly. Otio country is Protestant, tho other is Catholic. Prussia, as a kingdom, is not much older than a century and a half, Austria claims to have been a monarchy, for ages. Protestant Prussia desires to be greater, grander und more powerful than Austria; in stiiirt, to be tho ruling influence iu Germany itW a strife- between North and South. Prussian policy would turn Germany into Pruaska ; while Anstra would prevent this, and make herself the predom inant power. Prussia, which is badly off for seaports, wishes to annex the Danish Duchies of Iloistuiu and Schleswig, but Austria, which, occupies the former, will not consent to be turned out by Prussia. Tho aim of the House of Uruudcnburg is to obtain not only the Danish Duchies, but also the Kingdoms of Saxony and Hauover, and tbe Duchy of Brunswick, all three ad joining Prussia and being Protestant, at the is. There are a few other Duchies, alto Protestant, upon which Prussia bat at a desiring eye. The coolness between Prussia and Austria simply arises, therefore, out of a struggle for power, and, sooner . or later, tbe 1 smaller German principalities will be absorbed, as they ere Catholic or Protestant, by Souths rn A ustra or Nortbtm PrwaU. 1 rtMadelfhi Van. 33.

This variety seems to do better than any other for the very warm weather. Now is the time to destroy the steel-colored bug on the young grape buds. Tho surest way is to go over the vines every morning for a week or ten days and pinch them to death. They can now easily be seen.

They eat, in their present form, the fruit buds, destroying them sometimes entirely ; while their pro geuy, in the shape of a small dark worm, feed upon the leaves, and if let ulone will in some seasons seriously damage tho crop.

The time for cleaning and fixing up has come, aud one of the most important items is nuiiewasning. we oiteu wonder ttiat people do not do more at this. How much neater and more cheerful a whole place looks, if a few hours are spent in whitening the fences, outhouses, etc. It changes the whole appearance of tho homestead. One day's work thus expended will often make a place twice as attractive und add hundreds of dollurs to its saleable valuation, while washing a cellar with lime not only makes it lighter ami ueatcr, but more healthful also. For cellars a simple mixture of fresh slacked lime is best. For house rooms, the common "Paris White," to be bought cheap ly, is very good. We take for each 2 lbs. of whiting, au ounce of the best white or trans parent glue, cover it with cold water over night, and in tho morning simmer it cure fully without scorching, until dissolved. Tho Paris whjte is then put into-hot wa ter, and the dissolved glue stirred in, with hot water enough to li; it for applying to the wall and ceilings. This makes a ery fine white, so firm that it will not rub off at all. Where common fresh slacked lime is used, some recommend adding to each pail ful two table spoonful! of salt and a half a pint of boiled liuseed oil, stirred in well while the mixture is hot. This is recom mended for an out-door and in door wash. For an out door whitewash, we have used the following with much satisfaction : Take a tub, put in a peck of lime and plenty of water to slack it. When hot with slacking, stir in thoroughly about a half pound t tal low or other grease, and mix it in well. Then add hot water euougb for use. The compound will withstand rain for years.
