to the Presidents veto message. If he
had been in. as great haste to lay the
message before his readers, as he seems
to be to have an expression of opinion
on the part of the JOURNAL, he would have
given evidence of enterprise, az well as
proof that he was not waiting to bear
the opinion of some of his political ad-
visers, whose Dictatorship " was abso-
luteIy necessary, before ne dared say
8 Under which King, Bezonianl" We
received the message at the same time
he did, and published it in full twenty
four hours before he did, and had it in
the New Albany Commercial Twelve
hours before he published it,-that paper
travelling distance Of nearly two hun
dred miles before it reached here. So it
will be observed that we have truly
enterprising contemporary. The case ia
clearly made out. As to his opinion Of
the veto message it mattered little
whether it were expressed on the publ
cation of the message, after he had held
consultation with the leading spirits OF
the faithful !" and !" unterri6sd, o.
whether he ever expressed an opinion at
all or not, as it is not very likely that il
would change the Presidents opinion
or affect the action of Congress on the
question, or giye much light on the sub
ject to his readers, as it is worth just as
much expressed before as after reaec
ton. a 8 SZ
He need not beaddle his brain about
matters, the Importance and ponderosity
of which he seems incapable of UNDER
standing, as in due course of timeshe
will be fully enlightened on subject
that just now-seems too vast for hi;
comprehension. If he and his party
are as enthusiastic 10 the cause, and al
quick to express opinions six months
ffom this time, his reasoning powers
small as they are, will doubtless lead
him to "a far different conclusion relative
to the veto message, or, at least, the
great political questions that are, just
now, occupying the best talent of our
country in their solution. We would
advise our neighbor to possess his
soul in patience. sSGs sa@A Nsh@4
/ In yesterdays issue he endeavors tc
force upon his readers the opinion o.
! the editor of the JOURNAL, in this wise:
/ "That position may be indicated by the
following paragraph in his paper of yes.
4 terday, referring to the salute fred by
| the Democracy and conservatives mig ht
before last in honor of the President
The Evansville Journal yesterday said "
! "There was some sort of an effort las
nigh at a jubilee over the news of The
| Presidents veto message"
/ Not 80 fast, neighbor; you seem to have
forgotten the numerous times you have
| opened your mouth and "put your foo
in it." 1t was the idea Of the class o.
! politicians firing the salute, that suggest
ed that paragraph. We could not helI
but feel the force of the hypocrisy of thu
late converts to Andrew Johnson's poll
Icy, knowing full well that such an out
ward show Of Endorsement Of the Presi
dent meant only TO deceive-that Their
was no sincerity in the professions, onl,
as far as they would subserve party ends
| Again, we could only give such ex
Epression when we remembered that Thu
persons rejoicing and causing the salut
to be fred, wore long faces with trouble,
depression, upon the announcement Q
] every Federal victory. That the frinI
of salutes on those occasions was any
thing but a source of Joy to them; and
we thought Of those of whom It is said
E"They steal the livery of the Court Q
Heaven to serve the devil in" This
neighbor, is truly what called forth tina
paragraph.
