THE VETO.

We publish this. morning the message OF
the President Directing TO the Internal I'm
provement bill. 1t is q short paper, and does
not pretend to discuss the questions involved
in the bill returned, because such discussion
was impossible under the circumstances.
We most cordially sustain the action Of the
President in this regard, because we believe
that any extended system Of internal improve
ments by the General Government must be emf
nendy dangerous, and prolific of corruption,
whilst the benefits that would accrue from it.,
even in the most favored localities, would not
be commensurate with the heavy outlays it
would require. There are improvements of a
national character which may rightfully be
made by means furnished from the federal
treasury but it is difficult to draw the line Of
distinction and whilst internal improvement
bills embracing more than one object are
sanctioned, it will be impossible to prevent log.
rolling combinations for local and unnecessary
Improvements. At one time we hoped that
Congress would dispose Of the whole matter
during the present session by authorizing the
States to levy tonnage duties; and We trust it
will not be long ere that important step is
taken. When that is done Improvements de-
manded BY national considerations can be con
sidered and treated with regard to their sepa-
rate merits, in distinct congressional enact
ments
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1854-08-05
CONGRESS-.

After a session Of eight months the Congress
Of the United States have nearly drawn their
labors to a close.
The day and hour at first fixed by joint reso-
luton for an adjournment, sine die, was found
to contract legislation within limits so narrow as
to endanger the passage of the usual general
appropriation bills; and so, yesterday, the two
Houses concurrently agreed to designate Mon
day next, at eight o'clock, for that event; pro-
viding, however, that after four o'clock of yes
motion except that to adjourn. Therefore,
Legislative business beyond the mere signing Of
bills by the two presiding officers ofthe respec-
tive Houses cannot be transacted.
AS the resolution, which was last adopted re.
stricted legislative business to certain time,
and as the bill making appropriations for the
ocean mail-steamer service was not finally act
ed on, when that hour expired, we may, we
think, classify that bill as dead, to be resusci-
tated during the next session.
There is no doubt about the safety of all the
other general appropriation bills.
The friends of river and harbor improve
ments, though they succeeded in passing bill
TO carry out their objects, were chilled on the
same day with veto. The message was not
read in the House, though its character, before
the official seal, even, was broken, was well
understood. AS quorum was not present no
question could be taken on the motion that it
be laid before the body; and a single objection
was sufficient to prevent the reading. This
privilege however, can be INDUCED by turning
TO our congressional columns.
The Homestead bill, as returned from the
Senate with amendments, sleeps in company
with the French spoliation bill and. the Sen,
ate bill appropriating eight millions and a hall
of dollars to pay the claims of such of the cred
itors Of the late republic Of Texas, as are en-
braced by the provisions Of the act of Septem.
Der, 1850, was referred to the Committee OF
the Whole on the state Of the Union, there to
rest until the next session.
The two houses meet to-day, to Fl nish that
part Of the business now SO near completion.

stitutional rights of the south, this DISPOSE
ton to carry into faithful execution the pro-
visions of the federal compact was the result
of no sectional legislation. We rejoice to
believe, that at the north as at the south,
there are strict constructionists-tha there
are in both sections, men who have the saga.
city to perceive, the manfulness and independ
ence to maintain, that the Union can only
be preserved and that the Constitution can
only be defended as an agent for good, by ad

Such were the objects of its formation" nc
north, no south, no east, no west, but a sacred
maintenance of the common bond, and a true
devotion to the common brotherhood" was
then, as it is in these latter days, the noble
sentiment which animated the republican
heart when it struggled successfully to organ
ize government which would ensure the en-
joyment of equal rights to every citizen Of
every State. Again we repeat that the gen
eral government, during the present year, has
kept constantly in view the important facts
which we have enumerated. The government
is in the hands of the republican party, and tc
the republican party, to the strict construction
list of the Constitution, to the men who, SO fal
from scofing at the principles of '9s and '99
applaud and defend them, is the country in
debted for the constitutional legislation of the
Thirty-third Congress.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF 1854.

In the editorial management Of this paper,
we have stndiously avoided the discussion Of
all topics calculated to awaken or strengthen
sectional feelings and prejudices We know
fall we'll that logged determination has been
manifested bya reckless sectional party-aparty
with whom we have no sympathies-to tear
down the noble fabric which our fathers reared
to constitutional liberty. We know that the very
life breath Of the nostris Of these men has been
and il flowing out quick and strong to pro-
ddce a rupture Of the Union and an Inaugural.
ton Of discord and anarchy. Trusting to the
sober sense and enlightened patriotism Of the
mighty people, we have refrained from a discus.
sion Of those questions, lest agitation might lend
strength to the enemies Of the Constitution, and
subject to suspicion the true friends ofthe Union.
We will not be accused by the impartial a! least
ofdeviating from this rule Of conduct, when we
assert that il is with no ordinary emotions Of
pride aud pleasure that We look back 10 the le-
gislation Of The present Congress. Leaving out
Of view the zeal and ability with which legisla.
tive questions Of minor importance have been
disposed Of, what republican heart does not
thrill with pleasure when il contemplates the
success of the Nebraska Kansas bill and the
faithful and energetic execution Of the Fugitive
Slave law? Who does not acknowledge that
the doctrines Of the State rights party are a
power in the republic when he remembers that
the INDECENT insane bill has been strangied
in its birth by the Executive veto Of State
rights President-and that the tremendous
Pacific railroad scheme has gone to the tomb
Of the Capulets, through the silent yet effec
tive agency Of the men who profess these
principles. The recognition Of State rights car
ries with it, an admission Of the sovereignty
Of the States, and as necessary consequence,
an Acknowledgement Of the limited and de
fined powers Of the federal government. That
recognition has been signally made during the
present session Of Congress in the repeal Of q
law which was unconstitutional by reason Of
its inequality. We hail il as q glad omen tina,

SzB~ We are not in the habit of complaining
nor are we in the habit Of advising for we be-
leve that those who most complain are gener-
ally those who have least cause Of complaint,
and those who assume the Office Of adviser, are
Of oil men the least competent to advise. But
we would respectfully suggest that the vast and
onerous pressure OF business on Congress dur.
ing the last days Of It's session, shows, and
shows plainly, the necessity Of an early atten.
ton TO the public business. If the committees
would meet punctually, work industriously, and
prepare their reports, and if the two houses
would act promptly on those reports; there
would not be such heavy pressure On those
bodies during the last hours Of their session.
The most important matters are left for sudden
determination. In few moments members
have to decide and TO vote on the gravest and
the most important questions. In the haste
and hurry consequent on this mode Of proce.
dure, many unjust measures are passed and
many just measures rejected. There is no
time for comparison Of opinion, no time for
thing must be done in hurry. Day and night
the two houses are in session. The members
are exhausted and worn down. BY physical
and mental depression they are rendered inca
pable Of thinking and acting as they would
think and act if they we're allowed the usual
hours Of rest and relaxation.
AT such a crisis, reversing the maxim Of the
criminal law, it is always deemed safer and
better 70 pass over or reject all private claims,
however just and however long they may have
been standing.

ATTEMPT or NEGRO TO COMMIT TWO RAPEs
IN MAssAcHusErTs.-On Thursday of last week,
James Sugland, a colored man about twenty.
live years Of age, was examined before Justice
Salmon Clapp, Of Williamsburg, on charge
of rape upon thu person Of little girl twelve
years Of age, o daughter of Isaac Alvord, Of
that place. He met her in the road, about a
mile above the village and dragged her into
an adjacent field, where he most brutally &C.
complished his criminal purpose. He was
committed for trial on this charge, at the next
term OF the common pleas On Friday and
saturday the same brute was examined before
Justice Hodges, Of Northampton, on a charge
Of assaulting Mary Ann Cook, of Pelham, with
intent to commit q rape, on the 4th Of May
last. In this case, his intended victim, very
respectable young lady of about twenty.one
years of age, was on her way from Northamp.
ton TO Belchertown, in company with Mr..
Aldrch, and both they and Sugland had been
carried to the bridge in carriage. Mr.. AL.
drich requested the prisoner to assist him in
carrying Miss Cooks trunk TO the Hadley end
of the bridge, which he did. Mr.. A. proposed
TO Miss Cook to wait at the end Of the bridge
while he went for his horse and carriage, which
the high water had obliged him to leave at
Hadley, and also asked the negro to cross with
him. The latter went short distance, and.
under some pretencc, concluded to return to
Northampton, and started back; but waiting
on the bridge till Mr.. Aldrich was out Of sight,
he then commenced the assault on Miss Cook,
at the same time making known his purpose.
A severe struggle ensued, in which Miss Cook s
screams failed TO bring any one to her rescue ;
but her courageous resistance enaiy compelled
Sugland to make his escape, after brusing her
badly and destroying her bonnet and dress.
The villain having escaped, her friends then
did not see fit to look for him, but upon his
arrest for the outrage at Williamsburg, Miss
Cook went TO the Jail and at once recognised
him among several other colored prisoners.
He stands fully committed for trial on this
charge also, lie has already been In the State
prison for MISUNDERSTANDING field RepuJlicdn.
