JEFF. DAVIS, HEALTH.

The tender solicitude of the gentleman
employed by the Associated Press at For
tress Monroe for the health of poor Mr..
JEry. DAVIS may be deemed by some people
quite admirable. He thinks Mr.. DAVIS is in
a declining condition. He believes that The
President has ordered a medical investiga-
ton into the case. He don't know what the
result Of the inquiry is, but he presumes
that it is to the effect that some relaxation
OF the rigor of his confinement will be neces-
sary If the country desires Mr.. DAVIS life
to be prolonged. 1t is somewhat strange
that this correspondent should have only
begun to express his concern for j. DIS
health after Mrs. ] d. arrived at Old Point
Comfort to look after her incarcerated hus-
band. Previous to her arrival he was silent
upon the subject, and his ofiicious kilograms,
so apparently intended to secure parole Of
JEpY to visit the strawberry patches around
Norfolk, smell strongly of female diplomacy.

COLORADO VETOED.

Yesterday, The President returned to the
Senate the bill providing for the admission Of
Colorado as State into the Union, with his
objections thereto. The Senate, for some
reason, did not have the bill read; whether
out of respect to the private feelings of the
Secretary Of that body, or for want Of time
on account Of the lobby pressure for an ex-
ecutive session to have the confirmation Of
SLoASAKER reconsidered, we are unable to say
but as the message was not read by the Sen.
ate it is yet the private property Of that body
and any publication of it before it is read in
the Senate would be irregular and improper
We regret, therefore, that we are unable to
lay this important state paper before our
readers

THEsrEECH OF SENATOR cowAN

Among the men in the United States
Senate who, through good and evil report
have adhered to the landmarks Of Govern
ment and maintained the fundamental prin-
ciples on which our institutions rest, Senator
CowAS, Of Pennsylvania, stands pre-eminent-
ly distinguished for his legal knowledge; his
facility for debate, and power Of demonstra.
ton. Under his ponderous fail the wheat Of
constitutional lore is separated from the dust
and chaff Of vain rhetoric and unsound theo.
ries. The speech which will be found in our
outside columns to-day, by the Senator, rings
clear with the metal Of statesmanship, and
reminds us Of those palmy days Of the Re
public when statesmen spoke instead of poll.
ticians, and when public men rose above the
trammels of party dictation to compre hend
and consider the imperial interests of a
mighty and united people. The country
owes debt Of gratitude to Senator CowAN
for reviving the school of national statesmen.
His effort brushed out Of existence the frothy
defamation and the untenable postulates of
the radical oratory which has lately deluged
that body; and for mastery presentation Of
the purposes Of the late war, and the present
duties Of peace, it has never been surpassed
If it has been equalled in the chamber where it
was delivered. This speech should be sent
to every household in the land, and should
be read by every American patriot, to rout
the enemies Of public peace and counteract
the deadly influence Of the pestilential and
incendiary harangues with which the con-
gressional committees have been deluging
and desolating the whole North. Let the
friends Of one country and one people circu-
late this unanswerable document
