THE PEESIDENT'fl VETO OF THB CIVIL BIGHTS
BILL.
Washington, March 27, I860.
We take our pen "more in sorrow than
in anger," to give expression to our views
and feelings in regard to this second veto
message of the President; and we may
premise our remarks by saying that we do
not partake of that spirit which denoun
ces Mr. Johnson as insincere, unpatriotic,
and willfully blind to the best interests
of the country. "Wc will say that we
consider him honest, patriotic, and devoted
to what he esteems the best interests of
the government and nation, but we
differ with him in toloia his judgment.
The position taken by Andrew Johnson
in the Senate of the United States during
those dark days immediately preceding
the outbreak of the Rebellion, the course
pursued by hiru all through the period of
our great struggle, and hia constant and
emphatic denunciation of treason and
traitors, have given to the country and to
the world such unmistakable evidence of
honesty and patriotism that we cannot
2nd it in our heart to denounce him.
Great men sometimes make great mis-
takes; and the greater the man, and the
more exalted his position, the more disas
trous and deplorable are the results which
follow these mistakes.
The President assumes that this bill is
unconstitutional. Now, wo are not a
lawyer, and we think Mr. Johnson does
not set up any claim to be learned in the
law ; still he may be a good and able
expounder of Constitutional law. He
certainly, as a public man, has had great
opportunities to mako himself familiar
with that great instrument of the people's
liberties. We know, however, this much,
that the very best lawyers and statesmen
' in Congress, as well as many out of it,
. believe the bill to be constitutional, and
we prefer to take sides with these men, es
pecially when we find every Copperhead
secessionist and and semi-secessionist on
the side of the President. The best law
yers in Congress tell us the law is con
stitutional, and we believe them. The
President asserts that the law is not
needed. But it appears to U3 there are
too many facts showing that the former
slaves of the South are badly treated, and
are in most of the States suffering under
immense disabilities, which the old Slave
Code impeded; laws, too, which have not,
and will not, according to present appear
ances, be repealed. The President admits
that the Constitutional Amendment abol
ishing Slavery secures to the former Elave
his right of personal freedom, but how
is this Amendment to be made effective
except through the processes of law ? It
certainly is the duty of Congress to make
such laws as phall render this Constitu
tional Amendment operative. . It appears
to us, thac any one who is familiar with
Southern society, and is informed of what
is now transpiring there, must see and
admit that it is the duty of the General
Government to protect, not only the
rights and liberties of the colored man,
but also a3 well the rights and liberties of
the true and earnest white Unionists of
that community and this is what the
Civil llights Bill proposes to do.
This Government cannot neglect to give
to all of its citizens protection to life, lib
erty and property. The American Gov
ernment does all this for all its citizens
wherever found on the faco of tha globe.
It is enough for any man, however humble,
who is oppressed in any foreign country,
to say, "I am an American citizen," and
to mke known his condition, when the
whole power of the government is at once
brought to bear in his behalf. Shall the
American Government protect its citizens
in every part of the habitable globe, and
then retuse to prot3ct the humblest of its
people at home ? The veto of this Civil
llights Bill would seem to indicate as
much.
Wo do not accuse Mr. Johnson of not
wanting to do anything to protect the
rights ot those who are or may be oppressed
at tho South ; but from a careful reading
of hia message, we confess to our utter
inability to understand what he -would
have Congress do to guarantee the personal
liberty of the citizeD, and were we to
undertake to frame a bill, we should hard
ly know how to do it, so as to obviate his
objections.
This message as a whole does not com
mend itself to our judgment. It appears
to us to be not only a weak, but a most
unsatisfactory State paper. It appears' to
us that the President raises issues foreign
to the bill before him, and demolishes
many a man of straw of his own creation.
He tells Congress and the country, in
conclusion, that he has signed some forty
bills and resolutions, and only vetoed two j
as though this were an excuse tor his
disapproval of this most salutary measure !
But we have no heart to pursue the sub
ject farther. We can say, that many of
the best lawyers, statesmen, and patriots
in the country approve this bill, and so do
we, and here we are content to stand.
PEN-AND-INK SKETCHES OF CONGEKSSMJEN
JOHN WENTWORTU A. J. SOGERS.
Washington, March 24, 18G6.
On looking over the House of Repre
sentatives, a man whom we may mention
as worthy of note is Hon. John Went
worth, of the Chicago District, Illinois,
familiarly known, not only in Congress,
but throughout the country, as "Lung
John." Mr. Wentworth is thus designa
ted because he stands some six feet seven
inches in his boots. He looms up among
his brothers like "Saul among the proph
ets." He will weigh, we should think,
some two hundred and sixty or seventy
pounds, and is a compact, sinewy, well
built man. He is straight, so straight,
that sometimes he seems to incline a little
the other way. He was born in Sandwich,
New Hampshire, March 5th, 1815. He
graduated at Dartmouth College in 1836,
and for a time taught school in his native
State, but soon after leaving college, he
emigrated to Chicago, where he studied
law, and was admitted to the bar, and for
a number of years not only practiced
his profession, but edited a newspaper.
His editorials possessed a rare and marked
ability, and at that time there were but
few political writers in the West who
could be regarded as his equals. From
1843 to 1855, Mr. Wentworth represented
his District in Congress, where at once he
took a higri rank as a legislator. He then
acted with tho Democratic party; but
Democracy then had not belied all of its
professions, nor discarded all of its time
honored principles. It will be seen that
Mr. Wentworth has been out of Congress
some ten years, but is now returned as a
member of the Thirty-ninth Congress,
with a riper experience, and as an advo
cate of higher and holier principles. He
speaks but rarely, thereby showing his
wisdom as a legislator, but when occasion
demands, his words are given with telling
effect in aidof such measures as commend
themselves to his judgment. He has
made but one set speech this session, and
that was delivered a few days ago in
defence of Mr. M'Culloch's Loan Bill,
submitted by the Committee of Ways and
Means, of which he is a member. Mr.
Wentworth if not an orator, nor even a
pleasant speaker. There is nothing in his
manner or delivery that attracts the lis
tener; on tho contrary, his voice, his
delivery, his utterances, so far as the
physical effort is concerned, are all against
him. Still with all . these defects, he
arouses and holds with undivided atten
tion his audience in almost breathless
silence. The reason ot this is, the matter
of his arguments is always able, clear,
instructive, and forcible. Mr. Wentworth
discards all show and trick in his speeches,
neither does he deal in "glittering gener
alities," but in honest Saxon words and
phrases, which may be understood by the
uninformed mind, and which truly fore
shadow what he means. Herein consists
his power as a debater. Mr. Wentworth
is a popular man in Congress, and' also
immensely popular at home, where be is
well known. This arises from his great
good nature and kindness of heart, his
rugged good sense, and his innate wag
gishness, which is constantly cropping
out in all he says and does.
A brief notice of one other very distin
guished gentleman, who flourishes with
more pomp than ability. Wc mean Hon.
A. J. Rogers, of New Jersey, the leader
of the Copperhead party in the House.
We hare heard something- of Mr. Rogers
as a member of the Thirty-eighth Congress,
and have seen considerable ot him in this
He does not impress us a very great man',
thoush we think he may be honest that
is, as honest as a Copperhead politician
can be. Ho speaks a good deal; makes
many set speeches, and talks one hour
and a half whenever he can get the indul
genco of tho House. His speeshes,
though they exhibit some thought and
moderate ability, are nevertheless, ram
bling theories of the brain, aud generally
pointless. Of Mr. Rogers' early life or
personal history, we know but little, but
believe he was born in Hamburg, Sussex
county, New Jersey, July, 1828. He is
a lawyer by profession, having been
admitted to the bar in 1852, and in 1862
was elected a Representative to the Thir
ty-eighth Congress, and in 1864 re-elected
to the Thirty-ninth Congress. Having
said this much, we will speak of him as
ho appears to us upon the present theater
of his exploits. He is a genial and appa
rently good hearted man, and is courteous,
and on very good terms with his brother
members ot all parties. We have called
him the leader of the Copperhead party
in the House, for so he is, though it is
but fair to him to stato that he disclaims
it, and that some of tho men on that side
also deny it. His policy and course seem
to us to be so exactly in keeping with
Copperhead principles and Copperhead
avowals, that we know not how to separate
him from the leadership of that faction.
We would do Mr. Rogers no injustice, for
we rather like him, on the whole, for the
bold, frank manner in which he - enun
ciates the principles' of the Copperhead
party. - . ' .
Our Ilarrlsburg Letter. .
Harrisburg, April 2, 1866.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
Throughout the length and breadth of
the State, this day is a great day. It
happens this year that the 1st of April
falls on the 2d, (excuse the bull, which
is as natural to an Irishman as buttermilk
and potatoes,) and therefore to-day is one
of bustlo and coufusion here, as I presume
it is in all well regulated cities where the
morals of the people have been properly
attended to and their innate love, of the
excitement attendant upon "moving" pre
served in all its pristine fervor. The sun
shines gloriously bright this morning, and
but for a few dark clouds which loom
above the western horizon, threatening
mischief, I would venture to predict a
pleasant day for innumerable army of
those who about changing their places
of doaiicil. Well, God save the Com
nonwealth, the honorable Courts, and
everything else worth saving a prayer,
by the way, which we should all make
frequently and fervently, for, truth to
speak, there is much need of saving grace
in these degenerate days, when men have
made for themselves strange gods, (golden
calves and such like abominable divini
ties,) which they worship with far greater
zeal than they do the invisible and triune
Creator who made them and all things,
and to whose infinite goodness and mercy
they owe life, health, and all they possess.
But let us change the theme, and strike a
hord which is more likely to be respon
ded to by the heart of that "many-headed
monster," the sovereign people. They
are all politicians born, and that which
savors of politics they have a relish for:
Well, then, I want to tell the good
people that I have recently conversed with
many leading Republicans from divers
parts of the State, and have even held
pretty long confab with Gen. Geary, our
worthy candidate for Governor, and that
he and they, and all others whose means
of obtaining reliable information are good,
are confident of success in October next.
With proper and persevering exertion,
there cannot exist the "shadow of a shade"
of doubt as to the result. We shall sweep
the Democratic cohorts before us as the
tornado sweeps from its path whatever ob
stacle encounters its wrath. We shall not
only succeed, but we shall obtain such, a
victory, so magnificent in its proportions,
that our title to political power in the
State will not bo seriously disputed by
what will be iPlt ot the Democratic party
for years. This is the opinion of all our
friends well booked in party matters and
well posted as to the feeling and spirit
existing throughout the State. It is my
opinion also ; but, as I have said before,
there must be no sleeping of sentinels at
their posts, thero must be no absence on
furlough of generals and subordinate
commanders irom the army, there must
be no neglect of duty whatever on the
part of the Republican organization. All
must labor, not only to-day and to-morrow,
but every day, and every night if necessa
ry, from this time until the closing of the
polls. The reward will be commensurate
with the labor expended. Duty neglec
ted, disaster may ensue ; duty performed,
a victory, glorious to us and crushing to
our opponents, will crown our efforts.
We had tho pleasure of a visit from
Gen. Geary on last Friday. He looked
exactly like a Governor elect. There is
something about the General which weds
everybody to him I find him surrounded
by men who are the personification of
truth itself. Will not "Little Cambria"
attest at the polls its. appreciation of him
who is so well known to all its citizens?
I predict an affirmative answer.
Very little of importance has transpired
in tho Legislature within the last week.
The Appropriation Bill has passed the
House, and will probably be called up in
the Senate tu-morrow afternoon or on
Wednesday. It is very probable there
will be disagreement between the two
Houses on certain points, which will have
to bo settled by Committees of Confer
ence. Some sharp passages took place in
the House the other day, between some of
the prominent Republican and Democratic
members. While the bill to prevent de
serters from voting was under considera
tion, it was charged by Republican mem
bers that the Democratic members of the
House had remained silent and sullen
when the great victories of Grant over the
rebels were announced. Mr. Thomas, of
Philadelphia,' made tho charge and used
pretty strong language, to which Mr. Per
shing'of your county, replied, in the same
strain! denying tho charge. The Speaker
finally stopped the discussion, and order
was restored.
Now, I wish to say a word about your
State Senator, Hon. Harry White. His
whole history ought to be written in marks
of gold. While a Senator, ho entered
the army for his country, and its good.
ne waj made a prisoner: suffered any
amount of torments ; his place had been
filled (the vacancy only being created by
nis incarceration in a coumern pnsuuj
by a new election. The General appeared,
after having been set at liberty, upon the
stage of public life, and, at this day, stands
among the most. prominent of Pennsylva
nia s sons, lhere is something lixe ro-
mance about the public Hie ot your
Senator. It ought to be known. They
said, while he valiantly offered his life,
his all, to his country, that he received
two pays : one as Senator, the other as an
omcer in the army. How did this turn
out? Th'e magnanimous Harry donated,
to the counties of his district, his whole
salary as Senator. God bless him. He
is one in a thousand. Would that we had
more such. Yours, &o.
An Interesting Historical Epi
sode.
Among the witnesses lately before the
Reconstruction Committee was John B.
Baldwin, of Virginia, who testified with
reference to the Secession of Virginia.
It " appears that a conference had been
sought by Mr. Lincoln with a member of
the Virginia Secession Convention, and
that Mr. Baldwin had been sent on that
mission by the Convention. Here is the
substance of what Mr. Baldwin says trans
pired at the Conference :
After relating the circumstances of a
special messenger being sent to Richmond
by Mr. Seward, with a request that Judge
Summers or some other leading member
should come to Washington to have a
conference with Mr. Lincoln; of his (Mr.
Baldwin's) being sent and accompanying
the messenger to Washington the same
night; of his being introduced next mor
ning by Mr. Seward to Mr. Lincoln ; of
Mr. Lincoln's taking bim into a private
bedroom that they might be the more free
from interruption, he gave a narration of
the conversation, which was opened by
Mr. Lincoln's remarking :
"Mr. Baldwin, I am afraid you have
come too late."
"Too late ! for what ?"
"I am afraid you have come too late,"
said he ; "I wish you could have been here
three or four days ago."
"Why ?" replied Mr. Baldwin. "Allow
me to say, Mr. President, that I do not
understand your remark?. You sent a
special messenger to Richmond, who
arrived there yesterday. I returned with
him by the shortest and most expeditious
mode of travel known."
"Why do you not adjourn the Virginia
Convention ?" said Mr. Lincoln.
"Adjourn it! How? Do you mean
sine die V
"Yes; sine die. It is a standing men
ace to me which embarasses me very
much."
"I am very much surprised," said Mr.
Baldwin, "to hear you express that opin
ion. The Virginia Convention is in the
hands of Union men. We have in it a
clear and controlling majority ; we are
controlling it for conservative results.
We can do it with perfect certainty, if
you will uphold our hands by a conserva
tive policy here. If we were to adjourn
sine die, leaving the questions unsettled,
it would place the Union men of Virginia
. i i r : : u:i:
in me anuuiie ui uuuieasiug au lunoiiiiy
to meet the occasion. The result would
be that another Convention would be
called which would be under the exclusive
control of secessionists, and an ordinance
of secession would be passed in less than
six weeks. Our true policy is to hold the
position we have, and for you to uphold
our hands. by a conservative, conciliatory,
national corrse. The Union men of Vir
ginia would not be willing to adjourn that
Convention until we either effect some
settlement of this matter, or ascertain
that it cannot be done."
John Minor Botts also gave his version
of the interview to the Committee, aa it
wap Telated to him by Mr. Lincoln himself.
The following is the substance of it :
He said that on Sunday afternoon, April
7 1861, being then in Washington, he
received a note trom Mr. liincoin, saying
that he would be glad to see him during
the evening, and that he went the same
evening to the White House aod re
mained in conversation with Mr. Lincoln
from 7 o'clock until 11 o'clock, during
which time Mr. Lincoln related tho par
ticulars of the visit of Mr. Baldwin, sub
stantially as follows :
"Oh ! Mr. Baldwin," said Mr. Lincoln,
"why did you not come sooner? I have
been waiting and expecting some of you
gentlemen of the Convention to come to
mo for more than c week past. I had a
most important proposition to make to you,
and I am afraid you have come too late.
However, I will make the proposition now.
We have in Fort Sumter, with Major
Anderson, about 80 men, and I learn from
Major Anderson that his provisions arc
nearly exhausted. I have not only writ
ten to Gov. Pickens but I havo sent a
special messenger to him to say that if he
will allow Major Anderson to obtain his
marketing at tho Charleston market, or
will have it sent to him, I will make no
effort to provision the Fort ; and that if
he does uot do that I will not permit these
people to starve, and shall send a vessel
laden with bread, and that if ho fires on
that vessel, he will fire upou an unarmed
vessel. But I shall, at the same time,
send a fleet along with her, with instruc
tions not to enter the harbor of Charleston
unless that vessel is fired into; and, if she
is, then the fleet is to enter the harbor
and protect her. Now, Mr. Baldwin, that
fleet is lying in the harbor ot New York
and will sail this afternoon at 5 o'clock :
and, although I tear it is almost too late,
yet 1 will submit the proposition which I
intended when I sent tor Mr. Sunyners.
Your Convention in Richmond has been
sitting nearly two months, and all that
they have done has been to shake the rod
over my head. You have recently taken
a vote in the Virginia Convention on the
right of secession, which was rejected by
90 to 45 a majority of two-thirds
showing the strength of the Union party
in that Convention. If you will go back to
Richmond and get that Union majority to
adjourn and go home without passing the
ordinance of secession, so anxious am I
for the preservation of the peace of this
country, and to save Virginia and the
Border States from going out, that I will
take the responsibility of evacuating Fort
Sumter, and take the chance of negotia
ting with the Cotton States which have
already gone out."
"Well, Mr. Lincoln," inquired Mr.
Botts, "how did Mr. Baldwin receive that
proposition ?"
"Sir," said Mr. Lincoln raising up his
hands, "he would not listen to it for a
moment; he hardly treated me with civil
ity. He asked me what I meant by an
adjournment. Did I mean an adjourn
ment sine die ? Why, of course, Mr.
Baldwin," said I, "I do not meau to assume
such a responsibility as that of surrender
ing that fort to the people of Charleston
upon your adjournment, and then for you
to return in a week or ten days and pass
your ordinance of secession after I have
given up the fort."
Mr. Botts was very much incensed, as
he says, that Mr. Baldwin should have
rejected the proposition, and asked Mr.
Lincoln to authorize him to make it to the
Union men of the Convention, assuring
him that they would adopt it willingly and
cheerfully. To which Mr. Lincoln replied :
"Oh ! it is too late ; the flee' has sailed,
and I have no means of communicating
with it."
Mr. Botts then asked permission to
mention the circumstance for Mr. Lincoln's
own benefit ; but Mr. Lincoln said : "Well,
not just now, Botts, after a while youmay."
Mr. Botts' inference was that Mr. Lin
coln was assuming a responsibility which
would at that day have been extremely
discasteful to those who had elevated him
to the Presidency ; but he thought it due
now to history and the character of 'Mr.
.Lincoln, to make it known.
Mr. Botts relates that some weeks after
ward he returned to Richmond "and men
tioned one evening to Mr. John F. Lewis,
a Union member of the Convention, the
interview. he had had with Mr. Lincoln,
and that next morning Mr. Lewi and
Mr. Baldwin drove to his house, and had
an interview with him, which he narrated
as folfows :
"Mr. Baldwin," said Mr. Botts : "is it
true that Mr. Lincoln did propose to you
that if the Convention would adjourn and
go home without passing the ordinance of
secession, he would evacuate Fort Sumter ?"
. "Yes," said Mr. Baldwin "he did."
"My God ! Mr. Baldwin," said Mr.
Botts, "why did you reject such a propo
sition as that ?"
The only answer that Mr. Baldwin
made was by taking out -his watch and
saying : "It only wants twenty minutes of
the hour of meeting of the Convention,
when a most important vote is to bs taken
(meaning the vote on the ordinance of
secession). I am obliged to be there
punctually at the hour, and I have not
time to make the explanation I desire,
but I will avail myself of the earliest
opportunity to make a lull explanation of
the whole of it."
From that day to this, Mr. Bott? says
ho never laid his eyes on Mr. Baldwiu,
nor heard any explanation from him, nor
had directly any communication with him;
but he had been informed that Mr. Bald
win gets very much excited whenever the
subject is mentioned in his presence.
