Tbe PKiUnt'i Speech.
President Johnson's speech on the 1J -•
in epu se to a Delegation w, ieh made
kn-wn to him the s nrimcrds of a ma-s
meeting, held to endorse his veto message,
is one of the most emphatic decimations of
his principles that has been made. He
reasserts his devotion to the union, and
allows that he Mind r-t nls who are its
enemies. I!e de. biros himself opposed
not only to the Davis i . t! e Toombscsand
Slidells of tbe south, but also to the Ste
pbeiises, Sumners and Phillipses of the
north. In short he shows that lie is a ri'al
and not a pretendvr friend of the union.
There is no longer any appearance of
sympathy between lain and the Black Re
publican*. We shall see some of the
tin e-serving, ofiiee-hol ling nincompoops
tacking sail shortly.
Down with the black cops.
RETURNING REASON. The Ohio. Stales
man speaks of a clergyman who informed
the editor the other day, that a day or two
after the assassination of Presi lent Lincoln
he had pn ached a sermon surcharged with
vengeance toward the South, and that al.
most ever since the thought has been
present, "I'm a pardoned rebel, too,"' and
that, therefore, there was no propriety in
his invoking veng, ance upon the Southern
people who had been engaged in rebellion,
while alone through paid >ll from the Al
mighty can he hop - tor salvation. There
is Christianity in flii* view, and we have
been surprised that men assuming to he
divinely ordained have not inculcated it
from the'pulpit. It is not too late to do
so even now.
llow A BOLT THE FLAG ?—What has be
come of all the blow ing a'ut tlie 'old flag'
on rlie part of the abolitionists'? Not a syl
lable in its praise do we hear of late. What
can be the natter ? < >h, yes, the 'old flag'
has too many stars on it to suit the present
views <tf the abolitionists ! It has a star for
even Southern a> well as for every North
ern State. The 'old flag' recognizes the
Southern States as in the I nion, while the
abolitionist.- d dare that they are out of the
Pniory That's what's the matter, iluirah
for the 'old flag.'— X.
The Veto Message,
We publish on our first page the first
veto message of President Johnson—re
turning to the ( nited States Senate, with
his ol>j c.ioiH, th? bid to extend the Nig
i> °
gcr bureau.
We adopt the language of an" Exhange
in saving that it is hardlv n.ee-s-.rv for us
to ask the serious consideration of our read
cm to the arguments of President Johnson,
why ti at infamous bill-was rejected ; the
importance of the snl-j rt is such that they
who have the interests and welfare of the
country at heart, cannot fail to give it
thought and refliCl; n.
There is .a class of penp'e, however, who
-seem to he ahore rea ling and thinking for
iheinM-ives, who wait with eyes and mouth
open to hear and receive ns gospel, what
their leaders, —'j had. Stephens, Sumner,
Fred Douglas and other Negroes—have to
say, and then shift their sir Is to drift in the
w;ike ; to that ehts- we would offer special
inducements a goal locket, a f.-w brass
rings, or sonief ing offftit sort, —if we
'bought there snv reasonable show of
i>.du< ing eijrrwst thought and reflection in
tiictu, to get tin m to give heed to what the
President lias uiler d. But that is hope
less ; they arc wedded to idols; an 1 areas
pliant ai d sulci is ivc as trained monkeys
to the crack of th. ring-master's whip.
The patriotism of the country was held
in deep dispense, while ti at bill lav u: on
the President's tab!. . d lie sign it ?
would he veto it ? No* e Could v. nture
an.answer ; 1 ut thousands of honest hearts
pr.; c.i that he might lave strength of
nerve to do right ; for nme doubted his
jtidgem nt. it was a contest simply be
tween right and wrong 'i'he impudent
idamor.-. of the niggers, and their threaten- i
ing and brow beating alii s in the N. nnte
and House of Uepiesentalk ns, were array*
ed in his front, with tcetlr set and fists
clenched in attitude or" daring for force,
threati ning "impeachment " while in his
rear sfoo 1 half his cabinet, demanding tlr.it
he should sign a bill already passed by a
two third vote. Is it any wonder the
breath of the patriot hung sup nded ? But
the veto came ! Right triumphed, ana the
country < nee mere breathes Inc as air.
It is emphatically the defeat of the par
ty of error and the triumph of the party of
right. No right-inaidoJ man, call him
whig, republican, democrat or what you
may, can deny this The bill was hatched
as a strict party measure, in party caucus,
and was pushed through both ljous°s with
hide -eiit h isle 1y a strict pa- ty vote ; the
blacks under Sumner and Stevens &c.
\orirg ave, and the democra's nav.
1 liat 1 ill was a measure of 'mischief
seasoned with malignity, bate, vengeance',
and destruction. It bad no redeeming vir
tue. Under the pretext ofaiding the'freed
negro it cloaked whol. sale robbery of the
-country for the benefit of party favorites
and yai-kve Coffin m ikts for the negroes
that the Freedmen's Bureau are murdering
by who'esale. This is the best that can
be said of if. It is "squelched.* The
breath is out of it.' A spasmodic effort was
made in the Senate to give it vitality bv a
two third vot*, but that failed. Tbe crack
cf the whip of the ring-master, and the
jokes of h s clown were not potent enough
to Vhip >.n all the Repuhlieai s. The bill

Opinions )f the Presv, on the President'*
Veto.
(From the New York Trigone.)
Mr. Johnson has made a great mistake.
He has relieved those who elected him, of
a great responsibility by ta£iug it on bis
own shoulders. Hereafter, whatever
wrongs may he inflicted upon or indigni
ties suffered l>v the Southern blacks, will be
chaiged to the President, who has left them
t.aked to their enemies,
(From the Tribune's Washington Despatch.)
There is much excitement about the mat- !
tcr in political circles. It is thought the
President has now thrown himself into the
arms <>f the Copperheads.—(Not Black
Copperheads, thank God.) #
[From the World.]
President Jol nso i 1 as nobly sustained bis
character for steadiness of purpose and po
litical courage, by the veto he sent to the
senate, yesterday, of the bill 'for enlarging
the powers of the Fr edmen's Bureau.
The credit of composing an able sta e
paper is trivial in comparison with the
higher attributes of statesmanship exhibited
by Mr. J>rtnson. IPs steadiness and pow
er of will, his intrepidity, sagacity, and
moderation, appear, on this occasion, to
conspicuous advantage. He lias had the
courage To rise above party and vindicate
the Constitution.
[FrnidThe Hers I J.]
The Freedmen's Bureau bill, has at the
hands of President Johnson, met with the
fate which it deserved.' He lias, with his
objections, sent it back to the Senate, —the
body in which it originated—lie has given
it the veto, and a very broad, strong, com
prehensive and emphatic veto it is. He is
opposed to tlie bill, root and branch. Ilis
general arguments and his specifications
against the bill are consistent, convincing,
and conclusive. They are what we expected
from the well-known opinions and earnest
and decisive character of the man.
[From the Diity News |
N. i act of the President has gratified us
so much. None has given us so much
confidence in his patriotism and integrity.
None has inclined us t > trust so hopefully
to his wisdom and Ills statesmanship to
guide the country through the dangers
with which the madness of the radicals
still surround it. At one bound he has
risen to the hight of his great opportunity,
and demonstrated his dev lion to the Con
stitution, and to those gr<-at principles ot
government which he enunciated so dis
tinctly in his annual message.
The Philadelphia Inquirer , the North
Americnn , and the New York Times, hard
ly know what to say or do. Forney, how
ever, in his occasional article comes square
out aga : nst the President as follows :
["OccasionalV Letter]
We now realize the abundant authority
of the Democratic newspapers for asserting
that t\e President was opposed to this ira
portauf m-asnre—a very singular circum
stance when contrasted with the fact that
the sfaunchest, most self-sacrificing, and
most influential patriots (disunionists) in
♦he land remained in almost total ignorance
of Li* intentions nearly up to the moment
when his reto was rccived. When 1
wrote yesterday I indulged the hop> that
his reasons for returning this hill would be
sueli as might he accepted by his friends
as so many improvements; but this fond
anticipation is totally dispersed befo.e his
exceptionless-ond sweeping veto. The
whole measure is distasteful to liim. —
There is not a feature of it that meets his
approval.
The patriotic people (disunionists) of
, the United Slate* must now look Jo their
Congress. Fortunate for the future, these
two great Houses stand in solid and stern
array around the rescued liberties of the
I nion : but if they are expected to com
j plefe the gn,at mission intrusted to them
j they must he sustained and strengthened
jby the people. The President has taken
his appeal to the people, now let Congress
go with him to their great con3tituencv.
That's the point; and the people will
sustain Andrew Johnson against the disun
ionUts, thieves -nd revolutionists who have
in less than two months offered over eighty
amendments to destroy the Constitution,
and to make a negro despotism out of the
government of our fathers at the expense
ot white freemen.
THE NEOKO HISS.— In the debate in the
Sena f e, on Friday, Mr. Hendricks, a raod
< rate and conservative man, used this lan
guage :
There had been a great deal said about
the part taken bv the colored meif in put
i ting down the rebellion, and there was a
great deal more said about it than was true,
; The rebellion was put down by the white
men of the country, and 1 am opposed to
seeing the laurels won by the white soldiers
put on the brows of the colored man.
And when this truth was uttered, the
ntgroes of the District, hissed, and before
the his was well hushed, a Michigan Sen- !
ator sa d that "Mr. Hendricks, would go
down to tcrnal infamy and then the ne
groes, in the gallery, applauded, and no
word of rebuke was uttered. To -such a
pass has the once great Senate of the Uni-*
ted States come !

warning on removing to his new residence

A Grave Ctrarge. T
In the Congressional proceedings of|
Thursday last, the following amazing state- j
m <nt is recorded as emanating from " the
gentleman from Lancaster
The Clerk having read the clause appro-1
priating forty-six thousand dollars to ena
ble the commissioner of Public Buildings
to properly furnish and repair the Prcsi— j
dent's House, when
Mr. Stevens explained that heretofore, j
i before the incoming of the Ad minis- j
i tration, a certain stun was appropriated tor
a similar purpose. An item was inserted
!in the miscellaneous bill which a 1 knew
failed to become a law owing to an amend
ment made to the bill on the rnotiou of
Mr. Davis, of Maryland. During the pe
riod between Mr. Lincoln's death and the
leaving of the White ll*use by Mrs. Lin
coln, who was detained there by sicknnss,
the building was left a prey to comers, and
when President John-son took Possession
there was scarcely anything left. Spoons,
linen, beddiw], and other articles were taken
mway,the house having been open to every
body The Steward was responsible, but
had failed in bis duty. The President's
family had tried to get along with grant
economy
This statement of T'nad. Stevens, chimes
well with tha statement made before a cer
tain committee, by the man who made sev
eral large deal boxes for Mrs. Lincoln, pri
or to her leaving the white house.
These statements explain, too, why Presi
dent Johnson preferred quaiters at a hotel
or private l>oardiug nouse, rather than
more his family into a house rendered un
comfortable by the removal of spoon*, lin
en, bedding and other articles, belonging to
the government.
The New York Commercial, in speaking
of the spoons, says, "when the bill for re
furnishing the White House was under
discussion, Mr. Stevens explained that
through the negligence of Mr. Lincoln's
steward, the establishment was plundered.
All of the valuable furniture was missing,
and when President Johnston's family mov
ed in it was necessary to purchase beds,
linen, spoons. See "Are the missing spoons
those that Mr. Ogle talked about ?" asked
Mr. Niblach, and Mr. Stevens replied ;
"Yes, they are the* same. They were
the gold spoons which was purchased, I
think, by Mr. Van Buren, at a great ex
pense, and I miy say that out ot a large
number of spoons, forks and knives, which
were very valuable, but one or two would,
be left out of two dozen, and all that had
been done has been to furnish samples to
the persons in New York who furnish these
things, and they are to be replaced, not to
the extent that Mr. Van Bnren had hut as
nearly as the present humble arid economi
cal President deems necessary. I can say
to the committer that nothing more is ask
ed by the President and his family than is
absolutely necessary to make the house
decent.
"They left a sample or two,because they
did not want to make them get an entirely
different set. I have understood that some
of those.thinws are—well it is no matter
where thev are."
The correspondent of the Commercial
calls this whitewashing, and adds to the
above.
"It is well known hereabouts where all
the missing articles went. Some were sent
from the city, and the otliers were sold to
persons who have r< ceipts, bearing the au
tograph signature of the responsible per
sons— nor is that person the steward* to
whom Mr. Stewns alluded.'
The New Y-.rk Express adds:
"Well,—name the c lpnt, and do not
hestitate to give the name, even it should
turn out to be lady."
Facts for White Tax Payers and White
Laborers.
Before the war, the negroes of the Sooth
paid their way ; in other words, their la
bor paid their support, without any resort
to the tax-payers of the country, and es
pecially not to the tax-payer* of the North,
for money to clothe them.
The war is now over, and the Southern
negroes are free. Peace reigns over the
whole land, and there is more demand for
labor now, in the South, than over before.
The wages offered there, and given to these
negroes who are willing to work,are higher
and be'ter than the wages received by the
Northern white fa-m laborers who work
by the year But notwithstanding this
condition of things, the Abolition leaders
of the Siimner, Stevens, Kllev,and Brooni
all stripe, are trying to fasten up the coun
try, a monster governmental department
called "the freedmen's Bureau," for the
purpose of feeding and clothing the South
! em negroes who are 100 lazy to work ; and
|to do this at an annual expense of over
TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
to be paid by the white tax-payers and
white laborers of the North, South, East
and West.—Ex.
As IIONEST DECISION. —Judge King, of
the Franklin county district, on the ques
tion of throwing ont the votes of the so
called deserters, under the Congressional
disfranchising law.has decided that the pen
alty of forfeiture of citizenship cannot be
' inflicted without due process of law, and
j that deserters can be disfranchised only
upon conviction ef the offence by some
competent tribunal. As the act of Congress
makes no provision for the judicial ascer
tainment and conviction of the crime, and
the laws of the State makes no such test of
the qualifications of voters, the votes of
such men must be accepted.
Judge Elwell, of the Columbia district,
has rendered a similar decision—and just
previous to. the last election, Judge Thomp
son, one of the Justices of the Supreme
Court, affirmed the right of deserters to
vcte, a law of Congress to the contrary
notwithstanding.
These decisions place the action of the
(Republican) Senate Committee, in giving
McConaghy a seat to which he was not
elected, in a very unenviable light. Can
fair-minded men of any party justify it?
Abase of the President.
President Johnson is threatened with
the troubles which beset all prominent
public men who rise abore party for tbe
benefit of the whole country. Since his
recent addresses to the delegations
ored men and members of the Virginia
Legislature, the floodgate of abuse, opened
by Mr. Stevens, have been let loose upon |
from Brooklyn to Chicago, lie is charged j
by ultra newspapers with intriguing for re
election to the Presidency, when his whole
conduct and his own express declarations
show that be is not. But that is not tbe
worst of it. Wendell Phillips, who never
appears to be easy unless he is in the midst
of agitation, and who evideutly does not
believe in the precept that a soft word turns ,
' away wrath, has just delivered in Brooklyn
| one of the most violent of his phillipics.— i
' He cannot conceive <hat the man charged ,
: by the will of Providence and by the votes j
of the American people with the responsi-1
' bilities of the Pro-id ncy in a grave and j
important crisis, can be actuated by patri-j
1 otic motives. lie says that '-the President j
means to crush Massachusetts, and that she j
accepts the war. If he succeeds, he shall
write his name higher than that of Burr or
Arnold, for treason they attempted and
failed in, he carried ; but if we win we will
write it side by sida with them—as the
traitor that tried and failed." Is it by
SIHTII wild rhapsodies, Birch indecent abuse,
that the important matters now before the
country for settlement, are to be influenced
and settled ? Mr. Phillips was the coadju
tor of William Lloyd Garrison, but when
Mr. Garrison who was the lifelong oppo
nent of slavery—found his work accom
plished, he ceased publishing his paper,
and endcJ the warfare. But that great
event only seems to have made Mr. 'Phil
lips more violent than ever. Such abuse
never has the effect intended. If Phillips
is right, it will injure instead of helping bis
cause; and if the President is right.it
will make hiru still stronger with the peo
ple.—'Phil. Ledger,
LET IIIM DOWN EASY.— The manner in
which our military heroes are let down to
their original level, on their return home,
are sometimes more amusing to the look
ers on than flattering to the subject, A
case in point : Gen. Sam. 11. went out in a
regiment from the Badger State as Captain.
Before he left the rendezvous he was pro
moted to a colonel ; and for gallant con
duct in the field was breveted brigadier
general. On his return to civil life he
told a friend "they let him down easy. At
Washington it was Gen. 11. at Madison,
Col. 11. at the town where lie organized
his company, it was. 'Mow are you Cap
tain ?' and when he got up to S., where ho
resides, every bov, with freckled nose, was
shouting. -Hallo Sam.'— Wabash iw Her
