TO those who owned them as rightfully as any
man on earth ever owned his own house. BY
an absolute veto-"a pocket veto''-a vile
trick and fraud upon The people and their
representatives. this bill was defeated after
the representatives of the nation had passed
il by yeas95, nay S 40-more than two-thirdsl
The bill passed within the last ten days Of
the session, as three-fourihs Of all the laws of
Congress always have, and always will
pass. Experience shows US that the labors Of
CONGRESS are consummated within the last fen
DAYS of each session, and that bills which have
been discussed or matured for months are
generally signed at The close of the session.
IT. therefore, the President can, for the want
OF ten days, within which the constitution al
lows him 10 retain bill for his signature,
withhold his sanction and refuse 10 return
the bill, lie can defeat it, although two-thrds
OF each branch should be disposed 10 pass it
rs the constitution authorizes them 10 do.
The Senate as well as the House in March,
1888, stood ready 10 annnl the veto on the
land bill. The Senators from North and
South Carolina, (Mr. MANGUM and Mr.. CAL
noUN, rs well as myself, were present at
the time in the Senate, and we are all here
now ready to attest this 10 be true. The
President obtained secret inform alton Of the
spirit of the Senate against his veto power
and pockeied The bill, i'll defiance of the whole
spirit Of Inc constitution. This was gross
case of the exercise Of the absolute and un>
qualified veto, which has never been con-
de;nned, bot always approved, by your PSeu-
do Democracy and it is fatal precedent,
which may virtually annul the whole power
of Congress. The qualified rule or pow or
ofrevision recognised by the constitution,
subject 10 the will OF two-thirds of each
/ branch ofCongress, has been exercised in
the cases ofihe bill 10 pay the interest due
the States for expenditures in the last war,
the various bills for the improvement OF rivers
and harbors, the bill 10 recharter the bank,
the bill to eqnaliZe the sessions OF Congress,
the French spoliation bill. and in so many
other cases that j. is difficult to enumerate
them. These veIoes have been sustained
by Executive influence. Congress has fall
Ell beneath the Executive arm, strengthened
as thai is, and always will be, by venal and
subservIent press and the ready aid oil the
Post Office Department, with hundred
thousand ofiiceholders. many of whom will
always crook The pregnnnthing of the knee
where Thrift; may follow lawning.' This
whole veto power, rs thus exercised, is now
sustained by lie Baltimore platform, and
promptly adopted by Gen. Cass in his accep-
! lance Of The Baltimore nomination. 1t is
part of his established creed.
Concluded next week.

annointment of a Governor, Senator, and

appointment of Governor, Senator, and
Judges, to compose, according to the old
precedent, a temporary Legislature for
each of these Territories, but without the
power to legisla,e on the subject of slaves
ry, thus placing that question beyond the
power of the Territorial Legislature, and
resting the right to introduce or prohibit
slavery in these two Territories on the
Constitution, as the same should be ex>
pounded by the Judges, with a right to
appeal to the Supreme Court of the U.
States. 1t was thought that by this means
Congress would avoid the decision of this
distractlng question, leaving it TO be set
tied by the silent operation OF the Constl-
tuition itself; and that in case Congress
should refuse to touch the subject, the
country would be slaveholding only where,
by the laws of Nature, slave labor was eff
lective and free labor could not maintain
itself. On the other hand, lip Csc Com
gress should choose to ADOPT the Com

"After many conflicts ofopinion, these
views thus generally expressed, were sub
stantially agreed upon with great unanimi-
ty, all the members of the Committee IL
greeting to make the report, and but two of
them Zone from the North and the other
from the South disappearing any of the
material features as they understand it. BY
order of the Committee, have prepared a
bill in accordance with these views 1t
contains some important amendments TO
the Oregon bill, particularly so far as it
corrects the defective description of the
boundaries in that bill.
"This bill resolves the whole question
between the North and the South into a
constitutional and Judicial question. 1t
only asks of men Of all sections to stand
by the Constitution, and suffer that to set

ration If the Constitution settles the
question either way, let those who rail at
the decision vent their indignation against
their ancestors who adopted it. We offer
no bill to introduce slavery by Congress
sional enactment into free territory.
If, as the South contends, the Constitution
confers the right to carry their slaves there,
they will maintain that right. If, as the
North contends, the Constitution conlers
no such right, they will vindicate their
claim. And Oregon will be at once or
ganzed as Territory, with power TO E.
lect their own Legislature power
which the Committee think cannot now,

population of the two other Territories. 3"

THE EXTENSION OF SLAvERY.-The
Washington correspondent of the n. Y. Com
mercial, writing on the 2Sd ult. upon the sub
ject of slavery in territories, has the following
notice of the action of the committee of com
promise -
Nothing is yet known of the proceedings of
the compromise committee" as the select
committee II the slavery question is called,
except that they have had two meetings, and
that they are in session to-day-Sunday.-
This last fact shows how desperate the emer-
gency is considered. 1t is naturally expected
that the six members of the committee, known
to be in favor OF the principle of the Missouri
compromise line, will report bill for the ex-
tension OF that line westward to the Pacific
Messrs. Clarke and Phelps will probably make
a minority report in opposition TO this measure,
Mr.. Phelp is gentleman Of well known abil-
ity, and it is TO be hoped that he will propose
such document as he is capable Of producing,
and is expected of him.
In the estimate of the notes upon such 4
proposition rs the Missouri compromise line for
the settlement of their controversy, | have
always set down Delaware as taking part with
the other slaveholding States. But in truth
Delaware has not manifested any sympathy
with the general feeling of the South on this
subject. She has on the contrary shown a
decided disposition to affiliate with the North
ern States in their opposition to the extension
of slavery over territory now free. She has
instructed her Senators for the re-enactment
of the ordinance of 1897. 1t may be there
fore that Mr.. Clayton, the general fairness,
candor and moderation of whose character as
a public man is so well established, had no
purpose of proposing the plan of settlement
have attributed to him. Probably report
from the committee will be rendered as soon
as Wednesday next
The time Of adjournment depends in agrcat
measure upon the action of this committee If
it shall introduce bill embracing the "com-
promise and an attempt is made to pass it,
adjournment is postponed indefinitely. fit
shall be determined that no effort to dispose of
the controversy at this time is desirable, then
1t will be easy to adjourn on the 10th of Au-
gust.

~ The Spirit ofhe Age, in order to get a.
round Gen. Taylor's approval of the "Ordi-
nance of 81" in his Signal letter, says that
Gen. T. in letter to Mr.. Doolittle of New
York, denies that he intended TO indorse the
Signals views. "Mr. Doolittle of New York"
says he has never received any such letter.
The Age also tries to make it appear that the
Southern papers arc urging Gen. Taylor's
claims on the ground of his opposition to the
Proviso-whercas, Father Richie, who ought
to know tells a very different story. Notice the
following for instance:
From The Washington Union.
"Gen. Taylor is pledged to Weld his assent
to the doctrine ofthe Wilmot Proviso, and is
pledged not to resort to the Presidential veto
against it, if the people shall constitute a Con-
gress that shall enact those doctrines into a
law"
And again:
He consents to sacrifice his own power to
that of Congressman to expose the whole
South to the Wilmot Proviso of the rabld 40
olitionists. Such Is the first tax which he
pays for the nomination, and the first claim
he puts in for the sufirages of the South"
