Oh ! nmiden thou art lilithe and gay,

And round those liis a smile doth play,
Most beautiful to tliu sight.
Thy laugh i ings Joyous on the air,
Kvcr merrily and clear i
A happy elf thou siieinst, that civro
Ne'er dares to venture near.
You simi the swelling notes expand,
And like some rich perfume ;
r,rou.Mit by an unseen, fairy hand,
They drive awny the gloom.
Thy voice is ns nunc niugln lyre,
Thai nngi'l lingers move ;
. It tills the breast with noble fire,
Or melts tho heart with love. '
Where'er tho merry festal ring,
Slill runs lis happy round,
Soaring on Pleasure's lightest wing,
Thou niayest oft' be found.
And at thy glance pale Fear and Doubt,
And Melancholy gray,
Aro put to flight, nor stops the rout
Vulil they fide away.
I have seen maidens 'air and young,
Fre their sixteen had pas-'ed;
And heard enchanting measures sung,
From bosoms beating fa;t.
While 1 Wiling to the glowing words
Sweet thoughts were pondered o'er,
And in my breast was wakened chords,
That slumbered there before.
And yet erst none have sung ns tine,
So careless of an aim ,
Vngiii led, uncontrolled and free,
O'er sad orsweet the same.
Tclf 'me mai.leti the secret charni,

Ah! 'tis too sadd'ning, 'tis too madd'ning,

And shared my happiness,

The following ii tin Hluciilution of tho
main points r( tho veto ns given by
the IV. Y. TrUmnii. 'Tlio docnnent

Johiison's usual cynical stylo :
Tlio President nml Congress nro

priiuiplu, but or taut". Is the nntunl
condition of tho Status lately in anus
fi.'t;nt-t the Union ono pf l'eneo or of

swer to this 'question. If those who

Unioui-ts aro victims, and which have
their impulse in tho malignity nnd cha
grin of di-coinli'ed treason then is
President Johnson's Veto of the Ueeon.
structioii hill a wholesome and necessa
ry cxereise of a constitutional preroga
tive wisely conferred on lain by the
Constitution.
Hut if the cxi.iling (i.indiii on is utterly
diiT. Tent lroui this il the spirit of Ko
bellioii, 'beaten, n it conquered,' fiirly
diivcti from the Held of open, maiily
warfare, still liiik-i in byways and cow
ers in thickets, or s'.romU itself in the
darkness of midnight, seeking a cruel,
cow irdiy ivvongo on those it has found
itself unable lmgorlo meet in open
warfare, then this Veto is ut once a
blonder and a crim. And, of all men
living, tlio late Military Governor id
Tennessee the uppomle'', since Lee
and Johnston's surrender, of Military
Governors, will dictatorial p)wcrs,
over nine States wherein no Uebol flag
still l! nite.l, i:o Kehel m arms sliil ot
foreil resistance to the National authori
ty should li ive been the last lo inter
poso objections and cavils to Siieh vig
orous, persist mil exercise ot such au
thority ns may be necessary (o repress
assassination incited by disloyalty and
restore the. Soutli to order and peace,
What, then, are the e.-fenti. 1 fids?
We cite first, as witnes-jos on t!ip
side nf Congress, Mr. John-oil's own i
agents m upl
ig loyally mil
at
llli'Siiiiih Gem. Th:oi.a', S'.-kii-s. tr,A
Sheridan. Then are no t'ri.n'.ni they
are com umi utile soliiier iln y ucio
not even Aluilitioiiists till the Kcbtdlion
left them no choice, but between EinaiN
cipaiion uml Pi.iiimon. liieir testimo
ny iii before the country ; it is spee'dio
and lucid ; nnd they are unanimous in
represent lne dominant feeling of
the ex-I!'ji.ieis at tue South a.-i still dis
loyal and in'nnicil to those u ho stood
by the Union while thev were tigliting
lo subvert it.
We cite next tho butchery, at Mem
phis. A full year ago, some scores of
peaceable, harmless Unionists wero
mind red or wounded there some of
them burned to death in their own
homes by Rebels mil sympathisers
with tho Itebeliion. The pretext for
this butchery was their color ; its nolo
rious impulse was their loyalty, They
were slaughtered n some hundreds of
their laco had previously heon at Fort
Pillow (not far distant), nnd fir the
same reason, Vet, up to this hour, not
ono ot thoir murderers has even been
indicted.
We cite next the kindred massacre
nt Now Orleans, whero Whites as well
as Bl.itks wero unresistingly sacrificed
to Ilebel liato nnd vengeance, nnd
whore none of their murderers has beon
tried for his crime to this hour.
Wecitotho concerted midnight as
snssination by Rebels of ihreo Union
soldiers nt Sister's Ferry, South CarolU
na.. The murderers wero .identified, nr
resled, nnd oonvielod before a Military
Court i but, Iinving been liberated by a
Federal judgo on habeas corpus, went
straight to their homes in Iho neighbor
hood where the murders were commit
ted, and wert thore received by their
ltobol neighbois as. victorious patriots,
rot branded 'assassins.. And no lounl
authority has ever attempted, to bring
them to justice. . ' . '
Wo oito tho faot that, whereas Black
felons - nro easily nrrcsted, convicted,
and punished throughout the South,' no
single Hubel White lias, sineo the hour
of Lee's mirremlur, been duly punished
by tho local authorities ior tho murder
of a lilack. Tim miinier of lllacks who
have been killed by Whites in those
Stales during .tro twenty months can
not have fallen below five thousand ; yet
not one V Into lias been punished there
for in what Mr. Johnson characterizes
ns the ten States wherein 'tho laws are
in undisturbed and harmonious opera,
lion;' tho Courts are open, and in the
full exorcise ot their proper authority;
life, liberty, and property aro secured
by State laws hud Federal laws.' Such
being, and long having been, tiio state
ot fads, uncording to Mr. Johnson's
conception, and the butchery of llorton,
Doi.lie, llendersou, itc, at New Or.
leans, having been cspocia'ly jiisiilied
by him, it is plain that wo cannot ex
pect better results from suoh rule, such
'peace,' in tho future, than in the recent
past If the States wherein Union sol
diers and negroes nro now murdered
with impunity arj loyal and entitled to
like self government and power in the
Union with Now York and Ohio, then
it is plain that a dozen wholesale butch
erics per annum like those of Mcinnhis
and New Orleans cannot divest them
of such lights. To concede to them
the character he claims for them is to
admit that our murdered brethren im
yoke and deserved their fato.
Oil this grave issue, the Loyal Millions
aro at irreconcilable issue with Mr John
son. The question was fully argued be
fore them, by himself and others, in cur
lale elections; and the verdict was direct
and ovci whelming. They know that it
is their right to havo ample protection
t r loyal men nl the South,- They con
fidently believe they huve power to en
force that right they know that, at all
events, it is their duty to ';;. It Mr.
Johnson, or any one e'se, fancies thev
they can be weaned or bullied out of this
determination, he will find himself sorely
mi.-itaken.
O.i n (mid imeiit.il iss -?, Mr Johnson
is sadly confused as well ,n flagrantly
wrong. He speaks of 'tho (loomed
parlies' under this act ns 'nine- millions.'
which is 'lbmit tho t' t il .popnhii m ol
the ten Suites in question. Hut of these
'nine millions' over Tine.' Millions are
Blacks every one of them an enthu
siastic supporter .of the policy of Con
grassland an implaciibl j adveisary ol
the resi'!i'iii.s. Then there is a large
clas. ot'i ..yal Whiles certainly not l-;ss
than on- ir.illioli rlio complain only
Ui it
net is not so stringriit ai it
I should be.
None of these Four .Millions
account themselves '.loomed
and over
parties,' or the operation ot the aoi an
'ignominious punishment' none of them
feels that it 'degrades' or even 'disfran
chises' them On the contrary, the
g'eal mass of them are enfranchised by
the act so roundly stigmatized and rail
ed nt by the President known that
they would remain f never (vfrai.ehi cd
but for Iho-iiiterposition of Congress.
And, though Mr. Johnson asserts that
'The negroes li no not asked for the
privilege ot votim-i tho vast majority, of
them have no id.a w hat it moans,' he
has only to bo a candidate! tor reelection
to oonviiico him that thoy both w;itii
und know how to vote, and that the
characters of Moses and Pharaoh are
discriminated and contrasted in the
minds even of the dullest nmrng them
Tlio diversity ol conviction evinced by
tho Veto Message is so T broad and clear
that there is no excuse for sophistry or
pettifogging; and the President's nllu
sion to past insurrections in Muss chu
sotts, Pennsylvania, &o., as parallels to
the groat Southern Hebellion, insults
the understanding of his readers. In
each of thesu cases, the Statu wherein
the insurrection arose was firmly attach
ed to the Union, and im rebellion do
lled her .authority exclusively or in eon
junction with that ot 'tho Nation. A
conspiracy of ten or twelve Stales,
through their organized governments,
to divide anil subvort tho Union, is as
different from this ns ( hulk from cheese,
nnd demands totally diverse treatment.'
And the fact that confederacy and in
surrection are.aliko legally invalid, proves
nothing beyond itself at. all events,
proves nothing to tlio President's pur
pose,;- " ''''" '. '
Hut wo cannot make, room further to
expose the errors embodied in this most
uiiforluiiiilo Veto.- Its obvious tendency'
to keep tho ' Southern Slates uni'eoon
structed nnd unrepresented is , in every
view , deplorable. Had tlio President,
ono year ng approved, tha Civil Hights
bill and ml vised those States I o accept'
and ratify the Constilutioiial Amend
ment, they might all ' h ive been back in
their proper places ere this, nud on coihn
parativily easy terms. They chose to
listen to and trust in the President
with what result, we nil see. Is it pos
siblo that th ;y will now bo misled into
repeating a blunder so damaging to
th unsulves and so injurious loathe whole
country ?
'lvsB,uut ovmt inn vnro. The veto of
the President on tho lleconstruction hill
was taken up ami road. The reading
having been concluded.
Mr. UEVEliDY JOHNSON (Dem.,
Md.) took tho floor and said; While
doing, as ho most sincerely did, full
justice to tho coiist'ieutious purpose of
the President, ho couid not but regret
that he (the President) had felt himself
compelled-to ooiiie to that result, and t
Hoiv.l this niesi-ag'! to Congress, Tliero
were many propositions in law contain,
cd in that message which could not be
maintained. There wero many errors
of judgment in it, which, upon examina
tion, would bo apparent, and, above nil,
tho result to which he (the President)
bad been compelled to coiuo m the ex
cisa of his own judgment, which, there
was no doubt, was conscientiously exer
cised, lie (Mr. Johnson saw nothing
but continued turmoil, dang-T uml error
to the Smith and to the entire country.
I Ionise, therefore, for the purpose of
sti'.ing very briefly, in addition to what
ho had already said when tho mea-mtv
was before the Senato on a former oc
casion, why it was tiiat he had cast the
vote he had cast on tint occasion, and
why it wh that ho should give tho samo
vote now. Appl ause in the galleries,
which was repressed by the Ch.'ir, It

Mr. Johnson, by those to whom I am
addressing myself, tint I am governed
now, or that I was governd then, by
any hope of p.ipulir npphi'iso. My
motive, if I kiifuv myself, were perfect
ly pure and paliiolio. I sa v bef iro me

dent, at that period of my life when, if
ever any other ambition annu lled mo,
I cm have no oilier ambition now than
that of serving my country. Having re
ferred to the views ho had previously
expressed on the question of ivcons'.nii:.
tiuii, concluding that when the war ecus,
ed the States were restored to their
f rinor relations, and that no conditions
for their ' representation wero rupiisite
or constitutional, Mr, Johnson said that
tho present mil tho late Executive
thought differently. It was unnecessary
for him to say what wero the conditions
exacted by the present Executive. They
were, in his (.Mr. Johnson's) judgment,
as iinc'jiistitution.'i! in any that could ho
found in this bill. The Congress ol I he

well to call in question tho motives of

Ho accorded purity of purposa and,
patriotic principles to both,, lie (lifter

way of accomplishing it now but by the
adoption of the measure, now before the

sou said he was glad to sec from the
public prints i f the South, and to hoyin.
I'rmed by many of the luudiug men of
tho South, tint it was the purpose of tho
Southern States to organizb under this
bill. They are taking lessons from ex-
perienco. The Constitutional Amend
ment, if it hnd been adopted, would
hive brought into this chamber nnd
tho other chamber, representatives
from tho South. Ot that I havo no
doubt. Now it will - not. The bill
which wo passed," ijnd which was nf.
forward 'amended in tho House, would
h tve accomplished tho panic purpose,
upon terms less exacting than tho ono
now before tho Sonnlo. It was amend,
ed, nnd the amendment is tho most
obnoxious feature of tho bill. Tho
Senate passed it, and I voted for it

WHAT IS POLITE SOCIETY t '
Ask a member ot that highly.polished
guild, what ho understands by the pbraso
'Polito Society,' and ha will tell you that
it signifies a select association qf ladies
nd gontlemcn by whom the law8 pro
scribed by couriesyand good-breeding
are strictly observed- He will not say
that obedience to the polite code oft9
involves deliberate treason to truth and
candor, Yet so it, is. Put the sa,ne
'l-u-stio., to a cynical despise,' of etiqueN
to, and ho will insist that 'P,,IiiB ..
