ANOTHER VETO.

On yesterday, the President returned to
the House, where il originated, the bill max
ing appropriations for the ocean steam lines,
with his objections to the same. Our views
upon the veto power have been often expressed,
and are well known to our readers. We be.
lieve they are not only in accordance with the
long-established views Of our party, but are, we
honestly believe, formed upon the true spirit in
which it was provided in the Constitution. We
must be permitted to say, however, we con-
ceive its abuse quite as dangerous as its ex-
ercise was intended to be salutary. Without
having had the opportunity to read the mes.
sage, and hence being ignorant Of the reasons
which the President assigned for it, we un'
hesitaingly express the opinion that in ordinary
cases of the appropriation Of money, the ex
ercise of the veto power did not enter into the
contemplation of the trainers of the Constitu'
ton, and the founders Of the republic.

is natural. He has studied antislavery men
in vain, who has not learnt that their vital
breath is the agitation of the slavery question.
That Senator Seward shouldoppose any scheme,
any tactics, any party, that proceeded on the
policy of suppressing this agitation, is the sim
plest thing in the world to comprehend.
We believe, and recent events sustain the
idea, that the Know-nothing Abolitionists of
the North, and most of them are Adolf
tionists, have at last found out that Senator
Seward has longer head and more saga
cious mind than all of them put together.
They have quit "ignoring" the question of
slavery. They have begun to agitate, and that
is precisely what he wants. As to their keep
ing Southern men in their ranks, he had fore
sight enough to know that such thing was q
plain impossibility. He dreaded, we doubt not
the Southern reaction, which has already COM
menced. When perfected, as it soon will be,
Southern Wings deceived by Northern Wings,
and cheated by Northern Know-nothings, will
have no party to 60 into but the constitutional
Democracy of the country.

SENATOR SEWARD AND THE KNOW
NOTHINGS.

The Know-nothings, in order to concillate
the Southern Wings and to entice them into
their ranks, have been accustomed to boast
,hat Senator Seward, the Editor of the New
York Tribune, and some other Abolitonists
are opposed to their organization. This boast
was made in order TO impress Southern men
with the belief that there is antagonism be.
tween Abolitionsm and Know nothingism, and
that Senator Seward is opposed to the Know.
nothings because they are opposed to Adolf.
tionsm.
Recent events, of which we have frequently
informed our readers, have distinctly shown
chat the Know-nothings of the North are Abo-
li6onists, which very cruelty takes the wind out
Of their sails
That Senator Seward is, and always has
been, opposed to the new secret order, we very
well know. He has proclaimed it on two oc-
casions in the s enate Chamber. But why OPP
posed2 Barring his reputed intimacy with
Archbishop Hughes, there is another reason.
Senator Seward is sagacous man. lie is
one of the most sagacious men in this country.
He has more sense, more ability, more fore.
sight than all the Abolitionists and Know
nothings in the country put together. de
foresaw, as the great bulk Of the Northern
Know-nothings did moi, that the organization,
order society or party, was so great and trans
parent fraud, that it could not last He saw,
moreover, that it ignored IN its creed the
only question, by means Of which he has risen
the slavery question. He saw, judging from its
protsssed creed, that so long as it ignored
slavery, Abolition agitation would cease. He
did not want it to cease. But he saw, further,
that, although by "ignoring" slavery, or not
making and publishing Abolition issues, the
Northern Abolitionized Know.nothings might
succeed in entrapping Southern Wings into
the organization, yet that Abolition instincts
and impnlses could not long be suppressed
that they were bound to show themselves, and
when manifested, they were bound to break up
and explode the order as a. national order.
BE saw, too, that the reaction would be most
disastrous to the Northern Aboltionists For
these reasons he, we presume, opposed the
order. Nor has his reelection to the Senate,
by means Of know-nothipg votes, 1.-THE New
York Herald, q Know.ncthing paper is our
autbority,) ebated his opposition. All Of this

Later from Havana.

The steamship Empire City at New York
from Havana, brings Havana dates to the Oath
ut. The following letter furnishes all the in.
telligence brought by this arrival.
The British vessels Hussar and Buzzard, the
latter o steamer, have arrived. They are to
cruise around the island for slavers. In this
city, nothing has been going on but the enlist
ment Of volunteers Several thousands have
been enroled-what for, nobody can guess.
At first we were told that the flibusters were
upon US, and we have had two reports from the
"Superior Government" of parties having sailed
from the United States-four hundred in one,
and six hundred in the other. Day before yes
terday report was brought by the schooner
W. Batty, from Key West, that the filibusters
were there, and the English and French fleets
we're keeping them back. The latter part OF
the story made the first incredible, and the ar
rival of the Isabel, yesterday, set the rumor at
rest.
Felix and Estrampes have at last undergone
some sort Of q trial. Estrampes has been sen.
fenced to death, and Felix to ten years impris'
onment in chains in Africa, which is the same,
with the addition Of few years of torture.
A special war-steamer, the Media, leaves to-
day for st. Thomas, with important dispatches
brought by the British mail for Admiral Fan
shaw, who, after short visit to Havana, and
after transporting 1000 Spanish troops to Trim.
dad, is cruising about the Island to keep of
the flibusters.
A circular has been addressed to the several
Consuls resident in this city, stating that the
blockade of the ports of this Island was not
against merchant vessels, but only against
armed vessels having large numbers OF men
on board.
The excitement has continued amongst the
Spaniards, until the last few days by mania
for playing at soldiers. -Four battalions have
been completed and the fifth is in the course OF
formation. One of these battalons, however,
is composed of Creoles, who have been long
known to possess Glibuster principles. The
mprudence Of placing arms in the hands of
such men does not appear to have occurred to
the authorities until very recently, when Ilearn
the muskets were taken away from about q
dozen of them, and they ordered to walk Span
ish" in the very first steamers.

arriving in our city. Poor in pocket, and minus
acquaintance in the metropolis, they often resort
to the walch-house for free lodgings and, rising
in the morning from their benches, refreshed, re-
sumo their journey, without any definite town or
neighborhood in view. The majority of them are
foreigners, their respective native countries not
probably being sufficiently large for their peregr-
nations; hence they come hher 10 indulge their
fancies. Such things as the blowing up of steam
boats, and the collision of railroad cars never
affect them, they travel on foot and can stop
and rest according to their own inclnations, with
out being compelled TO take passage at belring,
or fixed hours. Although this mode is more indie
pendent, il is, in our opinion, not quite so comfort.

occasionally, strapped over the shoulders, con
tanning change OF cotton, perhaps. We presume
they are never afraid Of robbers, possessing no
thing which is worth stealing In this respect if in
no other, they have more peace Of mind than the
highly favored people of the land through which
they pursue their indefinite journey.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

The Thirty-third Congress terminated this
morning, at few minutes to twelve o'clock,
meridian. Much important business was trans
acted during the last twenty-four hours OF the
existence Of that body.
All the general appropriation bills were
passed. Although the President vetoed that
making appropriations for the mail steamer
service, the items Of expenditure were incor-
porated in the Navy appropriation bill, without
any reference to giving notice to 4. 4. Collins
and Company for the termination Of the pre-
sent mail arrangements with them.
I Among the items of interest to the citizens
of this District is an appropriation Of $3.50, 900
for the continuation Of the Washington aqueduct,
and the old soldiers will be gratiGed to learn
that the bounty land bill for their relief has be-
come law.
