VETO OF A PST RADIUM KAMM
The President on Monday returned to
the Senate, in which it originated, the bill
for extending the powers of the so-called
Freedmens' Bureau, with a lengthy mes
asge, giving his reasons for refuting to ap
pend his signature thereto. This bill is
one of the most odious among the many
repulsive messurea adopted by the present
Congress,' and Mr. Johnson deserves the
thanks of all the patriotic people in the
land for his courage in vetoing it. It pro
vides for the eitab!ishment of a system of
agencies throughout the country to have
Fpecial charge of the negroes, and who
were•given power to regulate their, 'abor,
provide for their necessities and education,
adminiater lair in defiance of the State
(1-urts, and in short have almost unlimited
,i,=qpotic authority in all cases where the
interests of the negro were at stake. Had
it become a law, a large standing - army
would 'have been required to enforce its
provisi'ons, and. not less than twenty-five
nr thirty millions been added to the ex
penses of the Government. •
The President, by his veto of this infa
mous act, has taken a position which will
make the breach between him and the
Radicals
. complete. It was their pet
scheme, next to negro suffrage, and had
been adopted in both Houses by an enor
mous party majority. In vetoing it, Mr.
Johnson displayed not only rare courage,
rut an unswerving devotion to the public
interest, and he will take his rank among
the boldest and most patriotic Executives
the nation has possessed. His message
eXplaining the grour.da for his veto is a
document which has few equals for straight
forward expTessiveness and clear argumen
tative force.
An attempt was made to pass the bill,
over the President's veto in the Senate by
the usual two-thirds vote: 4 but resulted in
a disastrous failure. Thp :Yeas were 30
and the Nays 18—several prominent Re
publican Senators voting with the, Demo
cram to sustain the President. Some idea
of the manner in which the veto is received
by the Radicals throughout the country
may be obtained by the following extract
from the Tribune's Washington corrosion
&nee, detailing the feeling in that city
upon the subject:
The message of - the President placing the
Executive veto on the Freedmen.' Bureau bill
was read in the Senate at 8} o'clock. P. M.—
There were many members of the House on
the floor of the Senate, attracted by the ru
more that the President had vetoed the Freed:
inens' Bureau bill, and the j readiog of the
do:ument was listened to wit h interest. It
was noticed th the message was made up
principally of the argamente need by Mr.
Garret Davis and Mr. Hendricks, in their
t peach against .the bill. When the reading
was over, an effort was made to haves vote
on the bill immediately. It .was opposed by
Senator Lane, of Kansae, and was finally
abandoned after a few remarks from Mr.
Sherman in favor of an adjouroment. There
Is much excitement about the matter in po
Dace circles. It is thought by many that
the President has now thrown himself com
pletely into the arms of the Copperheads. The
exultation of the: Democrats and rebel Etym..
patkizers is great. (While I am writing there
is a crowd assembled in front of W.llard's
Hotel with's band of music. It is being ad
dressed by Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, the
leading Copperhead of the House ; Judge
Hughes, of Indiana; George Francis Train,
and -several others , of the same stamp, in
praise of Andrew Johnson. It Is proposed
by these gentlemen and their political friends
to hold a public meeting at Grover's Theater
on Thursday, Washington's Birthday, for the
pr. rpose of -giving a public expression to the
love of the Copperheads for the President.
NEXT GOVERNOR.
The Crawford Democrat of last week
contained / an article upon the next Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, to the main
portion of which we give our cordial as
sent. It believes "that the time for nom
inating candidates from mere local, per
sonal, or other considerations, as they
may be termed, has passed by, if such
ever was the true policy of the Democratic
party. Secondly, that the candidates of
the party should have a clean record, both
individually and politically. Thirdly,
that no man should be placed before the
people as a candidate for Governor or any
other office, who in' thought, word or
deed, succumbed to the infernal despo
tism of the Lincoln-Stanton dynasty. No
public man, residing in any part of Penn
sylvania, was without opportunity during
that "reign of terror" and crusade against
the rights - and liberties of the people, to
manifest . his disapprobation, and, failing
to do so, the omission was passive appro
val of what every true Democrat will ana
thematise to the end of life. It will not
avail now,
.when the storm of persecution
and violeno, has passed over,-for aspirants
to popular favor to declare their abhor
rence, in terms of burning indignation.
Those who felt impelled daring the last
four years, either from a sense of mock
loyalty, or a feeling of cowardice, to skulk
a manly.opposition to mob brutality and
mob legislation, had better not seek to
become candidates, for they may rest as
sured that thesti things will be enquired
into."
A dispatch to the World, confirmed by
one of similar tenor in the 7rikwur, gives
the following information :
List night several New York Republi
can members, including Griswold, Morris,
Marvin, and others, called on the Presi
dent for the purpose of talking over the
situation, but, while they were received
very courteously, they did not find that
Mr. Johnson desired to add anything to
his recent Views as expressed to preceding
delegations who have called upon

McClure's paper,) expresses the opinion
that "the country will, we apprehend,
soon witness a decided majority of Cma
gress At variance with the President on
'several most vital issues," and "fears
greatly that the end will be the defeat of
all the measures" thought essential by the
Republican party for its perpetuation.

to the speech published in our laat paper,
remarks that " it uto be regretted that

The war of the radicals upon the Presi
dent—or, to use their own phrase, the
•'Government"—has broken out with even
greater fury than was anticipated. As if
by a fi•uultaneoua movement, the war
dogs of that faction have commenced
yelping and howling at the hPet4 of Mr.

Johnson with a violence that knows no
parallel. Ile , is called a "traitor," a 'Cop
perhead," "the leader of the Confedera
cy," and all the other pet names which
make up the Abolition vocabulary. In
order that our readers may judge of the
bitterness with which these attacks upon
the "Government" arts conducted, we aP•
peed a few choice extracts. The following
is from the Chicago Tribune, which occu
pies the same position among the radicals
of the West, that is hold by its namesake
in New York:
ED
Mr. Johnsmi has for months been very
sweet to both sides, but he is approaching
the point now where he must get down
from the fence, on one side or the other.
In a few days will .be presented to him a
bill abolishing slavery in the District of
Columbia, which he must either sign or
veto. Then will come Trumbull's Civil
Rights bill and the bill to enlarge the
power of the Freedmen's Bureau. The
President cannot sign any one of these
bills without abandoning his expectations
of being supported by the late rebel ele
ment for the next Presidency. There are
three reasons wby he does not want to
abandon that support;
1. He has forfeited all claims to Repub
lican support in order to get this South
ern support, and while it holds out to
him some hope of being re-elected, no
other policy does.
2. As a Southern politician, of Demo
cratic instincts, he believes that the way
to be elected President is to divide the
Northern vote and unite the South. By
forty years erasing in the Democratic pas
tures, this faith has got into his bones es
those of sheep turned red by feeding on
madder. He expects to be elected in the
same way that Maxtin Van Buren, Jame
K. Polk, Franklin Pierce and .Tames
Buchanan were.
3. Not being a statesman, nor a man of
any high order of intellect, nor elevation
of sentiment, he hes never been more
than ;superficially Republican, and now
gravitates by force of his affinities toward
politicians of his owri class, and they are
to be found among the three classes of
men who are alike in despising "ideas."
especially those of liberty. * * *
Fairly stated, this is a contest between
the President, struggling for his own re
election, to be won at the hands of the
late rebels, on' the one side, and on the
other, a Congress of American people
striving to Make a peace with those rebels
on terms that shall secure a Republican
Government to the Southern States, equal
rights to all people, and safety to the
country.
In a speech by Wendell Phillips,
in Brooklyn, last week, among other ex
pressions, he made, the following :
We have crukhed tiouth Carolina. and
now the President means to crush Massa
chusetts. Well, we accept the war. If
be succeede,we shall write his name high
er, than that of Burr or Arnold, for 7the
treason which they attempted and failed
in. he carried ; but we will write it side by
side with them—thn traitor that tried and
(ailed—if we win. 4 Loud and long con
tinued apPlause.l
"Mack," the Washington correspondent
of the CinCinnati Cbmmereicd, who wrote
the amusing burlesque on the "Recon
struction" committee, and was obliged to
resign his place as one of the. attaches of
Congress, sends the. following to that pa
per:
There are mutterings and mumblings of
all sorts today, in relation to what the 1
President is going to , do with the radicals
and what the radicals are going to do with
the President. It is not. difficult to see a
row in the political horzon, which must
fully develop itself before the first of
March. Thus far, t.e radicals have made
all the war. The 'President has done
nothing to interfere with their Congres
sional action, and has only expressed his
opinions when called upon to do so. Ste
vens and his friends, en the contrary, have
been villifying Mr. Johnson, and misrep
resenting his acts and motives, on every
occasion, in Congress and elsewhere ; and
the President very naturally feels that a
sense of respect for himself and his cffice,
forbids his longer submitting quietly to
the lash. The lean and hungry Democra-;
cy look forward with blissful anticipations
of a period for filling out their poverty
beshrivelled cheeks with the spoils which
_will soon be theirs; and, to turn their
hopes to bitter ashes, the radical Senate
threatens perpetual executive session and
persistent rejection of all nominations in
dicating a disposition to Tylerite the ad
ministration. Frank Blair will be Secre-
Lary of War it less than a month, say the
Copperheads'. Let the President send in
'big nomination to us, if he wants our
opinion of the Blairs, say the radical Sen
ators. And so on. The radical mobile
asserting an exclusive devotion tolp?inci
ple, are yet unwilling to sacri6 e the
spoils, and will hold on them like grim
death. Meantime, the nucleus of a new
party 'is being formed by those who do
not believe either with Mr. Pendleton or
Mr. Vallandigham, that the war was un
constitutional, and a failure to boot, or
with Stevens and Sumner, that it was car
ried on to drive eleven States out of the
Union, and to enfranchise four millions
of emancipated slaves. • _
Fred. Douglass, the negro, delivered a
lecture in Washington, last week, to a
large audience. ;Ha was introduced by
Chief Justice Chase, in highly compli
mentary terms. In the course of his ha
rangue, Douglass uttered the following
atrocious sentiment :
The crime of crimes which now threaten
this nation is not one that kills the body
but one that murders the soul of the na
tion. It is one that strikes at the nations
honor. It is one that Must bring upon the
nation the gathered wrath of God and
man. In Washington the crime of crimes
which overhangs us and threatens us is
nothing less than the base, the wanton be.
trayal of due republic by the very tnan, (cheers)
by the very man in whom this generous
nation has confided the care of its honor ;
the base and wanton surrender of all the
efforts of this terrible war, back again into
the hands of the very men who, with
broad • blades and bloody hands, have
sought to destroy the nation. (Cheers.)
The impudence of this negro knows no
limit. It does not seem possible that the
Chief Justice could sit by and hear such
atrocious assertions without a rebuke, yet
we have looked over the report of the
proceedings carefully without being able
to discover that he opened his lips to
express any dissent from Donglasetopin
lons. Our next extract is from the lipring
field Republican, which . thus sums pp the
effect created in Masatchusetts by the
President's remarks to the " colored "
delegation :
The colored visitation to the White
House has accomplished its obvious pur.
pose. It his given occasion for a fresh
onslaught upon the President. The Wor
cester 'Freedom Club' has promptly issued
its anathema against him' for declaring
against forced negro suffrage in the South,
in which they say he "rivals the inherent
injustice and meanness that belong to men
brought iip in slavery." Rev. Mr. Hep
worth, white Unitarian, and Rev. Sella
Martin, black Baptist in Boston, preached
angrily about the President, on Sunday,
Tith ItADICAII. WM.
both alike grosily caricaturing the Presi
dent's position, and denouncing him for
treachery to the cause of freedom and bu
tinnily, of which there is no proof in his
words or acts. The Wortiester iS)ry print.
a letter from Washington full of rcandn
loiropersonal abuse of the President, and
follows it up with an editorial attack, in
whiil the President is berated frm caring
that the extremists who stand in the way
of the restoration of the Union " must
get out of the way."
We °like for the piesent with a quota
tion from one of Carl Schuss's letters to
the Tribune, over the, signature of " Ob.
server." Speaking of the speech of Mr.
Williams, of this State. delivered in the
House last week, he 'says
He made one of the moat important
and remarkable speeches of the session.
The salient point of his argument was his
severe and brit 'isn't crititism on the Pres
dent's action in taking the whole work of
reconstruction into his own hands, and
assigning to Congress no other part in i the
business than that of determining whether
the Senators and Representatives sent by
the rebel States were regularly elected.—
The argument was carried out in a mas
terly 'manner, bristling with sharp points
,and sarcastic allusions, uncommonly ele.
gant in language, and 'most forcible in
their illustrations and appeals. When he
said that the President's poliev in its init•
mediate effects had surpassed the most
sanguine expectations of the rebels of the
South and of the Democrats of the - North,
there was a burst of applause on the floor
and in the galleries. He then went into
a full discussion of the negro 9uestion,
arguing that the right of voting is one of
the necessary incidents of citizenship, and
that the people of the Union Are in' honor
bound to give the-colored race that helped
us in the war all the political mains ne
cessaiy for their self-protection. * *
It was the first, speech delivered on the
floor. of the House devoted principally to
a direct and searching criticism of the
President's policy ; and it was evident
that Mr. Williams was giving AR expres
sion to feelings which every day are grow
ing stronger in political circles.
These are the views 6hich we may con
fidently predict will soon be those of the
massof the Republican party. :Two-thirds
of its members now entertain them at
heart, but have not yet reached the point
of courage to express them opimly. The
time 'cannot be long before an open rup
ture must take place between the Presi
dent and those who elected him. Phil
lips, Douglass and Schurz are the forerun
ners of the Abolition policy ; they •go
ahead and Mark out the path; the r est
follow after in a few months,- with all the
meekness of lambs led to the altar.
WAR IN IIIB.?VORD.
The Republicans of Hartford, Conn.,
met last Saturday evening, a week, in one
of the balls of that city. to elect delegates
to their several conventions. Tt 4ras soon
apparent that there was a conflict of opin
ion. Voters who had acted together dur
ing the war, upon a single Mee, now that
the war was over, found that their princi •
plea were not alike. One section of the
meeting supported the Union principles
of President Johnson, upon which he pes
pows to restore the late rebellious States,
and to preserve the Republic. The other
section support's the disunion doctrines of
Thad. Stevens, and are wilting to aid in
the revolutionary measures of that bad
leader. The two sections had previously
prepared to make an issue upon the oleo
lion of delegates to the State Convention,
and each came with printed tickets—one
set favorable to President Johnson's policy
and the other opposed to it. The ballot
ing began, and the radicals carried the
first set of delegates, whereupon one
Cleveland, the postmaster of the place,
attacked the successful ticket, and was
especially seiere •en Mr. G. 'P. Bissell,
whose name figured on it. Mr. Bissell's
retort was much more pointed than cour
teous. He said :
This is pretty good for you, Cleveland
who remained at home, subsistmg on poe
office pap, while we were in the field.
give you to understand that we don't pro
pose to be ruled by one man.
A vote was then taken for delegates to
another convention, and the anti-Johnson
party was again successful by a consider
able majority. Two of the opposing can
dates on this ballot woe Clark and Green
Clark wee elected. Green felt it necessary
under the circumstances to define his
posit - on, which he did, as will be seen
from the report, under many embarasi
ments.
He said that a certain man in this hall
(David Clark) had opposed him (Green)
two years ago, when he (Green) was s can
didate for representative—a nomination
urged upon him, though he had d4clined
it three times. That person claimed to
be a Union man, and denounced me as a
disunionist—he worked against me in the
election, defeated me, and after the elec
tion bragged of it—electing William W.
Eaton over me. Was that a true and con
sistent course for a Union man to pursue f
If so, it was a God-forsaken " Union "
party. So long as I have noted with the
Union party my record has been clear and
complete—thank God ; and I trust that
my course hereafter will be as clear in
support of President Johnson and his
AU Y voice—" Dry up on Johnaon."
Green—Stop me if you can ! By the
holy—l will talk as long as I please for
the honest statesman of Tennessee, against
Thad. Stevens. (Hisses, applause, laugh
ter, jeers and general confusion.) Andrew
Johnson I will talk in favor of him—
God bless the noble old Democrat !
At this juncture a venerable radical,
who we infer from Mr. Green's reply, is in
the usury line, undertook to rebuke the
excited speaker, assuming the authority
which great age and plenty of money lend
to the words of an indifferent orator. His
name was Calvin Day. Mr. Green having
satisfied himself by a hasty survey of the
room of the quarter from which the inter
ruption came, silenced Mr. Day in this
summary and somewhat impolite fashion :
Who are yoq f You are nothing but a
d—d old pocket-book ; but you have got
no mortgage on my property—you can't
use or frighten me 1
A resolution endorsing President John
son was then introduced and voted doom
by the radicals, who, not content with
their numerical superiority, made each
.4 no" count two by the stentorian voice
in which they uttered it. Mr. Cleveland,
greatly excited, again took the stand, and
cried out, '• This is a amnion 'Reeling." -
Here Mr. Cleveland'. voice was drowned
by the howls and groans of the crowd.—
Above the general din could occasionally
be heard such sentences as these: " Get
out 1" "You are a d—d Pretty post mu
ter 1" "This show. what you are I" "Put
him anti"
Cleveland—" Yes, gentleman, put isle
out, or take me off from this stand, if you
Clare."
. Green (on the table)—" Yea, put him
out, if you dgre I Try that on 1 Go in !
Try that—try 'it now, we are ready—put
your hands on Ned Cleveland, if you dare.
You have made the bine tonight. I
don't support any part that don't sup
port the President! • You may go your
way and we will go ours. Swerrelfrom
the path of the war Democracy, it you
want to, and you will loge ue, my chick
ens " •
Tlio groans, the hisres. the yelly.lbe
howls, the stamping and jumping, swear
ing. bellowing—these cannot be described
as they occurred et this time.
Mr. Blown, whose wortnds received early
in the action began to smart and rankle,
at this juncture, the meeting being about
to breali up, approached Mr. Cleveland
and informed him that be "Wu a puppy."
The following animated coltcquy ensued :
Cleveland (addresiing Bissell)—" Yes,
you' miscreant and whelp t The trouble
with you is, your father.in-law could not
get the nomination. You wentito the
war, did yeu? And when there was a
battle you got behind the trees and laid
down behind a log I"
Bissell (having in view the necessity of
" more devotional music.")—" That's a
d—d lie ! You are a liar !"
Cleveland—" What else did you do?
When I subscribed to a testimonial to
Gen. Hawley, you—you—miserable whelp,
you 'took my name off the sulxuatiption
paper."
Bissell—" Yes, I did ; we didn't was t
your stinking name there."
Cleveland—" You are a miserable scoun
drel ! and General Hawley has told we
within the past two weeks that it was a
low-lived piece of business in you to take
my name off."
The battle may be said to have closed
at this point, for although there was much
aide skirmishing and many randoria shots
were fired, the general engagement was
concluded by Cleveland and
These details may seem trilling, and it is
easy to overlook their importance. But
only a fesy pounds of'powd'er aped the
first shot, across the waters of Charleston
harbor which Crashed into .Sumter and
opened the most terrible of civil wars.—
So the wranglings of the Hartford poli
ticians, which are of small moment in
themselves, portend and inaugurate the
vast struggle in which the Republican
party,will divide and perish.—Ptilatielp4ia

DII3I4IOKATI 0 VICTOILI VA.
The tide of political battle is beginning
to change, and from every quarter we ob
tain news of the most encouraging na
ture. From a single day's perusal of our
exchanges, we - obtain the following grati
fying intelligence : An election Was held
in Kenton county, Ky., on the 11th, which
resulted in the Fuccess of the Democratic
candidate for Senator. Kenton, county
has heretofore been 'strongly radical. At
a city election in Lexington, Ky., - the
Democrats elected their entire ticket by
nearly 300 majority. The radieshr carried
it last year by. over 200. The late charter
election in Wheeling resulted in the suc
cess of the entire Democratic ticket.-- 7
Wheeling. if we are not much miatakett,
has always heretofore been opposition.
Reading, the county seat of Old, Berke,
has long been under the co the
Republicans, but on Friday ,
ocracy rallied at - the municipidelection
and made a clean sweep of the citi. ; The
whole Democratic ticket was elected by a
majority of over two hundred just about
the same majority by which it has here
tofore been carried by the Republicans.
'At the town election for township officers
in Sparta, Crawford county, on ;the 9th
inst., the Democratic majority wait thirty
six, a gain of, thirty-seven since Wit. fall.
Why t ,d -
L there giver to be en end to the shame- ,
less misrepiesentation of this .North-western
portion of Pennsylvania in our Legislature
Year after year have the people of Erie
made vain and ftitile efforts to secure a char—
ter• for a direct railroad to the ad,lacent oil
region, and year after year have we been
compelled to see the trade of that• country
carried away to Cleveland .and othhr distant
points more fortunate than ourseWes in ob
taining railroad facilities.
Ohio has found no , difficulty in i reaching
with her railroads the richest of Pennsylvania
oil and coal territory, having secured only
last week yet another valuable charter known
as that of the Shenango Coal Company, greatly
to the prejudice• of the commerce of this
place.
New York readily obtained a charter for
her Crosscut railroad from Brooton, on the
Lake Shore railroad, to Corry, in this State,
against very faint opposition from our Rep
resentatives.
Now, why is it that Erie. is• perpetually
belled in her every effort in this matter, and
whet accursed selfish and malign influence is
It that constantly stands between us and the
realisation of our hopes f . Why is it that
Pennsylvania's only lake port has tbus far
been utterly unenoceraful in securing the
direct access to the oil country that has been
so readily and friely granted to the rival
cities, Cleveland and 13uffnlo °
Is there some powerful in9uence, made
powerful by the very position we have riven
ft. constantly exerted against us Is it be—
cause in • most unlucky hour fpr Erie the
agent, bound in honor and good,faith honestly
to standby the interests of his section, became
himself the owner and holder of a certain
anomalous and indescribable hydra headed
and many named franchise, made up of parts
of other charters, a thing of as ninny shreds
and p‘tches as Joeeph's cost of many colors,
and which monstrous alArtion and nudes

to " a general railroad law for Erie county,"
thereby bringing. it to pus that all railroad
projects in this quarter ,have 'come to be re
garded as hull!. and antagonist!i td the in
