THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 18G6.
UNION STATE COxV VENTION.
A State Convention-will be he'd in
the Hall of the House of Representatives, in
Harrisburg, Pa.,' on Wednesday, the seventh
day of March, a. d. 166, at 12 o'clock m., for
the purpose of nominating a candidate for
Governor, to be supported by the friends of
the Tjnion.
The ordeal of rar has tried the strength of
our Government. Its fire ha3 purified 1 he
nation. The defence ot the ration's life has
demonstrated who were its friends. The
principles vindicated in the field must be
preserved in the councils of the nation. The
arch enemy of freedom must be struck once
more. Ali the friends of our Government,
and all who were loal to the caur-e of the
Union, in our late struggle, are earnestly re
quested to unite in sending delegates to rep
resent them in said Convention.

The President and Congress.
ft
ecmsr
that Congress have the sole
power to declare war, and. collater
ally, to determine when a state of war
is ended and a state of peace begun, and
seeing also that by the act of March 3d,
18C5, providing for the supervision and
management of all abandoned land, and
the control of all subjects relating to ref
ugees and frcedrucn, the present bureau
of freedmen is to continue in operation
during the war of rebellion and one year
thereafter, the simple vetoing of the amen
datory act extending and enlarging the
powers of this bureau ought not to cause
alarm to the country nor alienation among
the members of the Uuion party. It is a
matter of regret that the President con
ceived it to be his duty to withhold his
assent from a bill that had passed, both
branches of Congress by a two-thirds vote,
but entertaining the conviction that the
measure was needless, or unconstitutional,
or dangerous to the welfare of the coun
try, he was right in exercising his consti
tutional prerogative. Had the President,
howe.er, eo chosen, he could have made
use of his vetoing power without precipi
tating upon the country an actual ..or
threatened disruption of that great party
to which he owes his elevation. The dec
laration in the second paragraph of his
message, that there is no immediate ne
cessity for the measure, the act of March
last not yet having ceased to be effective,
and that before it would so cease, further
experience might guide us to another and
wiser policy, would have been an abun
dantly sufficient reason for his action. Or
had he added to this, that the expense to
be incurred uuder the vetoed bill was too
great, that its tendency was to disturb
trade, that it kept the mind of the freed
men in an unsettled state, that it central
ized too. much power, he would have
secured his end without producing a
breach with Congress, and without unset
tling the business d the country in all its
branches to an extent far greater than the
passage of a dozen such bills could have
caused. But the President elected other
wise. He either did not understand, or
he chose to misrepresent, one of the main
features of the bill, by saying that it pro
posed to establish military jurisdiction
over all parts of the United States con
taining freedmen and refugees, while it
merely made provision that military juris
diction and protection should extend over
all employees and officers of the bureau in
the exercise of their duties.
Many, if not a majority of the objec
tions urged apply with no more fore to
the bill vetoed than tj the one now in op
eration, or to any other that can be
framed. That the powers given to the
President, and through him to the officers
cf the bureau, might be abused, that a
pystemfor the support of indigent persons
was never contemplated by the constitu
tional fathers, that triads of persons in
certain cases by the officers of the bureau
are to tu:a place without indictment and
the usual forms of evidence, that the bill
contemplated for the black man what has
never been thought of for the white,
(though the bill applies alike to white
refugees and bluck freedmen,) are objec
tions" having no greater beaiing against
the measure discarded by the President
than against any other that wculd recog
nize the cruel injustice of the laws and
the unchristian haired of the white people
of the entire South toward the emancipa
ted btack loyalist.
Taking advantage of that clause of the
Constitution which gives to each State at
least one Representative, and provides that
no State shall, without its own consent, be
debarred of its right to two Senators, and
bringing to his tupport that cardinal prin
ciple of the early fathers that there should
be no taxation without representation, the
President assails the right of Congress to
pass this law in the absence of the Sena
tors and Representatives of eleven States.
Going still further, he makes whatever of
i?.t i .l.r.m i in the South an arcu-
OlalUjUttJ
ment for the immediate admission of the
Southern delegation; in order that they
may "explain their condition (disloyalty,)
reply to accusations; and assist in the per
fecting of measures immediately affecting
themselves." In other words, the Presi
dent having laid down certain tests of
loyalty, prescribed certain conditions and
required conformity thereto, assumes to
himself the whole responsibility of recon
structing the rebellious States, and denies
to Congress all right of examining his
work, or of1 requiring further tests or
conditions from the disloyal portion of the
country.
Neither the President nor his friends,
however, tell us why he could require of
the Southern States the adoption of the
anti-slavery amendment tQ the Constitu
tion, the 3eclaring void of all acts cf se
cession, and the repudiation of the rebel
debt, without any violation of the princi
ple of taxation without representation, nor
whence he derives the sole power of pre
scribing tests' of loyalty to the lately
insurgent States. It a President may re
quire the adoption of an amendment to
the Constitution prohibiting slavery, or of
an annulling of the acts of secession, why
not Congress and President require to be
abrogated all laws that make the most
unjust discriminations against a people
unfalteringly loyal throughout our late
sanguinary conflict ?
While the President talks loudly and
often about that principle "firmly fixed in
the minds of the American people that
there should be no taxation without rep
resentation," not only he but each of his
friends persistently shuts his eyes to the
stupendous fact that if the eleven rebel
lious States would even approximate to
that great principle, there need not be a
vacant seat in cither house by the-time
the Ides of March have gone. But no !
Neither he, cor his friends, nor the South,
will abide by that principle. Both he and
his friends profcs3 to speak in the name
of ten millions of people, but of those,
four millions have had no more voice nor
influence m sending to Washington the
delegations that have been denied admit
tance to the Congressional Halls than the
Nation's dead
"Who make the pageantries of kings
Like shadows seem and unsubstantial things."
The couviction forces itself upon the
mind that the President was determined
upon a quarrel with Congress, else he
would not have assailed Congress as he
did, denying in point f substance the
right of Congress to any part in the
reconstruction of the country. Dark days
may be ahead; but brighter ones will follow.
1'Le iresicieiit.
Apparently afraid of the country,
though all the while prating of its
support of the President's position,
the admirers of the veto message called, a
ratification meeting in New York on the
evening cf the 22d of February. Making
a personal staff out of his cabinet, the
President sent Mr. Seward, its head, and
Mr. Denuison, not its tail, (counting the
Attorney General its tail,) but just next.
to its tail, to reconnoitre. The venerable
Secretary of State not deeming it prudent
to take time to go to Auburn, his home,
to make his speech, as is his usual prac
tice, addressed the audience at considerable
length. The much" loved Secretary, how
ever, could not have felt very comfortable
at a meeting that would not listen to the
resolutions, and that would interrupt the
speakers, and proposed that the police be
brought in to preserve order. Meanwhile,
the President made such a speech in
Washington as would befit a New I'ork
Ward politician. Reproaching some of
the Congressional leaders with violence,
he denounced Charles Sumner aud Thad-deus-
Stevens as traitors, called Forney a
"dead duck," asserted that Stevens if hot
others wished to have him assassinated,
and asked if the opponents of this gov
ernment, i. c. the radical majority in
Congress, are not satisfied with the murder
of Lincoln ! The leaders of the Presi
dent's auditory were Sunset Cox, of Ohio,
A. J. Rogers, of New Jersey, Thoma3 A.
flendiick?, of Indiana, and John Ilogan,
of Missouri, all Copperheads. To these
men the President said, "come With me,
or I will go with you." Vallahdigham fired
a hundred gun3 at Dayton, Ohio, in honor
of tha President, and the conservatives (?)
bushwhackers, &c, of Missouri did
the same. The Richmond Examiner,
suppressed the other day by Gen. Grant
aud resuscitated by the President, supports
(?) him. Every rebel in the South,
every Copperhead in the North just now
supports f?) the President. Heister Cly
mcr and Wm. A. Wallace, though they
wished to shut the doors of the State
Capital on him in sixty-four, we dare say
"support" him now. The Democracy feel
jubilant over the anticipated split in the
Union party, but they will do well not to
sell any skin before they catch the rabbit.

To the Editor of The Alleghmian :
You are aware that the Legislature ad
journed on the lGth inst.v to meet again
on the 27th inst., (to morrow.) The con
sequence is, that there is nothing to com
municate in reference to action in -either
the Senate or the House. In the absence
of any Legislative news, I must make up
my letter by descanting on other subjects.
The all-absorbing topic of conversation
in political circles is in relation to the
veto of. President Johneon of Senator
Trumbull's bill to enlarge the powers of
the bureau of refugees, freedmen and
abandoned lands. So far as I have been
enabled to ascertain the views of the
Republican party of the State, they are
those of regret that the President has
deemed it advisable to oppose the bill by
his veto, thus turning his back upon the"
great loyal party to whom he owes his
elevation to the prominent position he now
occupies.
While the loyal citizens, in this vicinity
and from different parts of the Common
wealth, are decided in their expressions of
disapproDation of the veto, they do not
indulge in bitter criminations. They seem
to manifest sorrow rather than anger, and
are yet hopeful that some measure may
yet be inaugurated, that will meet the
views of the President, and, at the same
time, secure the main reqirements of the
vetoed bill. Indeed, Senator Doolittle
(who voted to sustain the veto) has prom
ised to draw up and present such an one.
If he should succeed, he will deserve, and
most undoubtedly will receive, the thanks
of every loyal citizen in the land.
The vetoed bill was supposed to (and
really did) cover the ground taken by the
President in his inaugural, lie there
t
expressed a desire to secure all men in
their rights, and to protect the freedmen
in all the privileges granted them in the
Emancipation Proclamation.
There has been the- most glaring mis
representation, by the opposition press
and the secession-sympathizing members
of the present Congress, as to the objects
and tendencies of Senator Trumbull's bill.
The Illinois Senator, io an extempore speech,
on the question, "shall the bill pass not
withstanding the objections of the Presi
dent," most completely sustains the large
majority in both houses of Congress who
voted for the passage of the bill. He
proves, beyond the possibility of contra
diction, that the bill was in accordance
with the views of the President, as ex
presed in his inaugural that it was not
an original bill, but merely an amendment
to the original bill, under which the Freed
men's Bureau is now acting; and simpli
fying it in many of it3 features that the
operation of the bill was only intended to
be temporary, or until otherwise provided
by law that, as a-measure of economy, it
would pave millions to the Government
that its object was not to feed, clothe and
educate the Freedmen, but rather to ena
ble them to do these of themselves that
a large number of whites were to be ben
efited by the provisions of the bill, as well
as negroes, and that, unless some action
be taken by Congress, both these classes
will be left helpless, as the present or
original act will expire by its own limita
tion, in the month of May next, that it
only extends jurisdiction over the officers
and employees of the bureau, and not over
the States that officers and agents were
not to be appointed in every parish or
counly, except the President should deem
it advisable that, sc far as the constitu
tionality of the" bill is concerned, the Pres
ident's own acts answer his present
objections', in so far that arbitrary powers
have been and are now being conferred
upon officers of the army and" navy, and
that it is competent for Congress to regulate
these two arms of the service; and further
that the President is still exercising the
war power by suspending the writ of
habeas corpus, which he could not do
consistently, if the rebellion is entirely at
an cud that there have been more than
one hundred and forty-seven thousand
persons in care of the bureau, fifty-seven
thousand of tchom tecre white refiujees in
fine, that, as to the passage of laws by the
State Legislatures, protecting freedmen,
sad laws are as infamous and oppressive as
slavery itself.
I have thus endeavored to give you a
brief synopsis of the able effort of Senator
Trumbull ; being convinced that, in the
absence of Legislative news, your readers
will be satisfied with it. j -
The absence of Gov. Curtin,. at the
commencement of the Session, and the
present long temporaryadjournment have
had the effect of postponing legislation to
a considerable extent. It is to be hoped
that the members, when they re-assemble,
may feel like "taking off their coats' and
going o work in earnest. All experience
ha3 gone to shoy that, when the passage
of important bills has been left to the
spring months, members become restless,
being desirous to get home to attend to
their respective private affairs, and as
a consequence, designing men in and Out
of the Legislature "snake bills through,"
that otherwise would be properly consid
ered and defeated. We find here, this
winter, the veteran corps of borers who
have grown gray and rich, as members of
h5iihirl: house through whose instru
mentality nearly all the iniquitous laws of
the last score of years have been passed
- and .whose avarice will never abate until
death -shall summon them to a final
account, when their moral deformify will
be exposed in all its ugliness.
It has been my good fortune to have fre
quently met, in my peregrinations through
the city, Col. Robert A. M'Coy, the Private
Secretary to Governor Curtin. Col. M'Coy
is the successor of that prince of good fel
lows, A. C. Mullih, Esq., and is in every ,way
worthy of his predecessor. The Col. has any
number of friends at the Capitol, and his
course will undoubtedly be "onward and up
ward." I know such a result would meet the
wishes of a larga" number of the citizens of
your county, embracing all with whom he
has a personal acquaintance.
In my next, I hope to give you an interest
ing detail of the proceedings of the Legisla
ture, after it shall have met and gone to work.
In the meantime, adieu. Yocrs, &c.
The Vetoed Bill.
As many of our readers have doubtless
forgotten the Freedmen's Bureau Bill,
now conspicuDusly important in conse
quence of the President's Veto, we' re
produce it, as adopted by the Senate :
Section 1. That the act to establish a
Bureau for the Relief of Freedmen and
Refugees, approved March 3, 18G5, shall
continue in force until otherwise provided

and the President may divide the section
of country containing such refugees and
freedmen into districts, each containing
one or more States not to exceed twelve
in number; and by and with tlie advice
and consent of the Senate appoint an
Assistant Commissioner for each of said
districts, who shall give the same bonds
and receive the same compensation and
perforin the same duties prescribed by
this and the act to which this is an amend
ment; or said bureau may in the discre

out additional compensation or allowance;
and if a citizen or enlisted man, shall

Assistant Commissioner may employ not
exceeding six clerks, one of the third clas

of a sub-district mny employ two clerks of
the first class. And the President'of the
United States, through the War Depart

the exercise of the duties imposed or au
thorized by this act or the act to which
this act is supplementary.
Sec. 3. That the Secretary cf War may

by the Commissioner aud such refugees
and freedmen. The rental shall be based,
upon a valuation of the land to be ascer
tained in such manner as the Commis
sioner may", under direction of the Presi
dent, by regulation prescribe at the end
of such term, or sooner if the Commis

United States in fee, upon paying therefor
the value of the land ascertained as afore
said. r Sec. 5. That the occupants of land un
der Maj. Gen. Sherman's Special Field
Order, dated at Savannah, Jan. 18, 1865,
are hereby confirmed in their possessions

In his eloquent eulogy of Abraham
Lincoln, the lion. George Bancroft draws
the following contrast between the martyr
President and the late Lord Palmerston :
"Hardly had the late President been
consigned to the grave, when the Prince
Minister of Ec;laud died, full of years
and honors. Palmerston traced his liue
age to the time of the conquer 3r ; Lincoln
went back only to his grandfather. Pal
merston received his education from the
best scholars of Harrow, EJinburg aud
Cambridge j Lincoln's early teachers were
the silent forest, the prairie, the river aud
the stars. Palmerston wa3 in public life
for feixty years j Lincolu for but a tenth
of that time. Palmerston was a fckildul
guide of an established aristocracy ; Lin
coln a leader or rather a compauion of the
people. Palmerston was exclusively an
Englishman and made his boast in the
House of Commons that the interest of
England was his shibboleth ; Lincoln
thought always of mankind as well as of
his own country, and served human nature
itself. Palmerston, from his narrowness
as an Englishman, did not endear his
country to any one court or to any one
people, but rather caused uneasiness and
dislike; Lincoln left America more be
loved than ever by all the people of
Europe. Palmerston was self-possessed
and adroit in reconciling the conflicting
claims of the factions of the aristocracy ;
Lincoln, frank and ingenuous, knew how
to poise himself on the conflicting opin
ions of the people. Palmerston was ca
pable of insolence toward the weak, quick
to the sense of honor, not heedful of
right. Lincoln rejected counsel given
only5 as a matter of policy, and was not
capable of being willfully unjust. Pal
merston, essentially superficial, delighted
in banter, and knew how to divert grave
opposition by playful levity; Lincoln was
& man of infinite jest on his lies, with
saddest earnestness at his heart. Palmer
ston was a fair representative of the aris-
tocratio liberality of the day, choosing
for his tribunal not the conscience of
humanity, but the House of Commons".
Lincoln took to heart the eternal truths of
liberty, obeyed them as the commands of
