The Contrast

The Democratic journals throughout the
country are very eXtravagant in their abuse
OF the Senate for refusing to confirm the re-
cent appointments Of the President. We
would invite their attention to the following
extract which we take from a speech made
by An irew johnson in the Senate ofthe
United States In 1860:
How has Lincoln been elected, and upon
what basis does he stand? A minority
President by nearly halfa million votes; but
had the election taken place upon the plan
proposed a1e my dDeendne7let to he Constitu-
ton by districts, he would have been this
day defeated. But it has been done accor-
ding to the Constitution and according to
law. l am for abiding by the the Constitu-
ton; and in abiding by it, | want to main
tain and retain nly place here and mt darn
Mr.. Lincoln, and drtUe back his o9y1nces
aEpOn Southern iastitutions If he desigas to
make any. Hare 1oe not the bralce Il, oDr
hdndsF Hare 1oe not got the po1cer? We
haze. Let South Carolina and her Sean-
tors come; and on the 4h of March aert are
shall hare majority of SIC an this bo6j
against Tim. This successful sectional con.
d5date, lcho IS la minority ofu million o.,
nearly so, on the popular v0te cannot D11ke
has Cabinet on tie 4th of March merit q,,,less
the Senate 1oW permit him. "
Am | to be SO great coward as to re-
treat from duty? / will stand here and
meet the encroachments upon the institu-
tions Of my country at the threshold; and
as man, as one that loves my country and
my constituents, | viii stand here and resist
all encroaehments, and advances. Here is
the place to stand. Shall desert the eta
del and let the enemy come in and take pos
session? No Can Mr. Ltncoln send a
foreign minister or eUen consul abroad IN
less he receives the sanction Of the SenateP
Gan he appoint a post master eohose salary
IS over thousand dollars year arithout the
consent Of the Senate? Shall we desert our
posts, shrink from our responsibilities and
permit Mr.. Lincoln to come acih has cohorts
as ace consider them, from the North to carry
of eUe7ythtag? Yes we are defeated accor-
ding to the forms of law and the Constitu-
ton; but the real victory is ours-the moral
force is with us
Andrew johnson was then as now a mem
Der of the Democratic party, and the advice
he then gave Democratic Senators is as good
now as then. He prides himself upon his
record. and here is his declared purpose,
when a Senator, to refuse his sanction to
any of the appointments of Mr. Lincoln
Exchange.

outrages in the Freedmen's Bureau.
NEW York. Nav IA

New York, May IA.
The official report of Generals Fullerton
and Steadman upon the operations of the
Freedmen Bureau in North Carolina, is
published 1t is quite lengthy, and reviews
with vigor, the action of some of the agents
who are accused Of robbery, cruelty, and
fraud. The report concludes
Complaints have been made to us by plan
ters, that these agents of the Bureau use
the power of their position to obtain the
control of the best labor in the State. There
is no doubt that some of the ill-feeling man
ifested toward the Bureau on the part of the
planters, is attributable to this fact The
arbitrary power exercised by the officers and
agents of the Bureau in making arrests,
imposing fines and inficting punishments,
disregarding local laws, and especially the
statute Of limitations, creates prejudices
against the United States Government II
the officers were all honest and intelligent,
with even limited legal information, it
might be safe to trust them with this extra
ordinary power, but in many instances the
officers do not possess the slightest knowl-
edge of law We are satisfied that the re-
commendatioD which we made in reference
to the Withdrawal of the officers of the Ru-
reau in Virginia and the transference to the
officers commandings the troops Of such duty
as it may still be necessary to perform in
connection with the freedmen, is equally
applicable to North Carolina.

The True Reason for the Veto of the
Colorado Bill.

OOAOAo6O DAAAs
The apologists of the President are en-
deavoring to convince the people that he
vetoed the bill providing for the admission
Of Colorado as a State, because the territory
lacked the necessary population, and because
the people thereof have given no clear or
constitutional expression in favor of State
organization. If it were true that Colorado
is deficient in population, and that the peo-
pie of the territory did not apply for State
Government, the veto would be right But
the facts are against the President, and the
developments since the communication OF
the veto to Congress, show that johnson,
in this act, as in almost all his other official
acts, has been controlled by selfish and cap
tious motives. 1t appears that the Senators
elect from Colorado were summoned, the
night before the veto was sent to Congress
to the White House, where they were mani
pulated by one of the President s private
secretaries, who slyly informed them that if
they pledged themselves to support ''my
policy" the act admitting their territory as
State would be signed To this offer an
indignant refusal was given. The Senators
were next ushered into the august presence
of the President, when the same offer was
made them. the President Of the United
States did not hesitate to make the open
bargain of crushing or elevating the people
ola territory, giving or withholding from
them State Government, as they concluded
to support or oppose the policy of the Ad-
ministration. The Colorado Senators again
rejected the humilitating offer, and, as a
consequence the Colorado bill acas Uetoedt.
We doubt if there is a fact in the history
of the corruptions which have attended the
career of all Democratic Administrations,
equal in despotism and effrontery to the one
above stated. -Hc:rasbpgh Telegraph.

This committee met yesterday afternoon at
the National Union Club House, a large
majority of the members being present. Col.

Rauch, Esq, of Berks county, was APP
pointed secretary pro tenn. The usual sub
committees were appointed and arrange
ments made for future meetings ofthe prin-
cipal committee. On motion VIM. H. KEN
BILE, Esq, of Philadelphia, was appointed
treasurer, and the chairman was authorized

town, A. w. Benedict, of Huntington, and
j. Robley Dunglison, of Philadelphia, were
selected as secretaries, and the appointments
were subsequently unanimously confirmed
The proceedings of the meeting were en-
tirely harmonious, and the reports from all
parts of the Commonwealth were of the
most flattering character. The members of
the committee are determined to prosecute

A MONITOR TO GO TO EUROPE.

A MONITOR TO GO TO EUROPE.
The continued carpings of the foreign
press, especially that OF England, against
the American or monitor system OF IRON
clads, and their assertions that such vessels
could never cross the ocean, and were en-
tirely useless in heavy sea, are about to
be disapproved by practical test. An op-
portunity has been afforded by the passage
of the joint resolution congratulating the
Emperor and the people of Russia on the
escape of that sovereign from assassination,
and CAPT. G. V. Fox, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, has been deputed to convey
the resolution to Russia and present it to
the Gar. He will proceed thither in the
monitor Miantonomah, sister ship to the
Monadnock, which has recently made such
a successful trip round Cape Horn to Val
paraiso, on her way to San Francisco. The
Mlantonomah is now at Halifax, awaiting
the arrival of Captain Fox, and will soon
start on her voyage. After performing his
errand to the Gar Captain Fox will take
the Miantonomah to most of the principal
European seaports for the purpose of ex-
amining the present condition of the navles
OF the Powers. 1t is easy to imagine the
utter amaZement that will be created by the
advent OF this iron monster In Europe, not
only at her armament and complete impreg
inability, but at the refutation Of the proph-
estes so fondly INDUCED in by the friends Of
broadside iron clads. The sight of such a
vessel will do much to create a wholesome
appreciation of the power of the American
navy and the genius OF the American peo-
pie in conceiving and eonsumating such a
work 1t would be well were her comman-
er allowed to demonstrate the power of his
guns by a shot or two at one of the unwield.
" broadside iron-clads Of England or France.
Were he allowed to do SO, the fate of the
ship would be forever sealed, for it would
quickly be sent to the bottom. There is
little doubt, however, that the opinion held
abroad concerning these vessels will be rad
ically changed BY the transatlantic trip Of
the Miantonomah. PHILADELPHIA Press.

As we advance into the summer season

let the people learn to reject all deleterious

Exercise judgment in the selection of your

The Grover and Baker Elastic-S Stitch sewing
Machines superior to all others for the follow
ing reasons
/. They sew direct from the spools, and require
no rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood aud used
and less liable to arrangement than other ma
chimes.
8. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, much greater
variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is much
more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed,
than any other stitch.
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwrought, is much the most
plump and beautiful in US, and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent
" washed and ironed until they are worn out.
8. The structure of the seam is such that.
though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a
few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel,
but remains firm and durable.
Z. Unlike other machines, these fasten both
ends of the seam by their own operation.
s. With these machines, while silk is used uDon
the right or face side cf the seam, Gotten may he
used upon the other side without lessening the
strength or durability Of the seam. This can be
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon all articles stitched or made up with silk
These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change OF
adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.
