THE VETO MESSAGE.

"IEDEPEsDENr IN EVERYTHING; NEUTRAL
IN NOTHING" was the motto with which we
began the editorial charge of the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN in January, 1858. We have
sndsavored to adhere to that standard up to
the present time.
While it Is always our desire, as well our
duty, to consult with proper persons on all
subjects concerning public affairs, and to CO.
operate in such work as the general judg-
ment shall dictate to be for the greatest good
to the greatest number, we, at the same
time, have convictions Of our own independ.
snt of the opinions of interested individuals,
or Of the wishes Of Presidents, Cabinets, or
Congress.
Acting couscientiOusly upon this principle,
~ soon rs Senator TRuMBULL reported the
bill now known as the "Freemen's Bureau
bill" We took measures to have It examined
with relation to its general bearing, not
alone upon the black freedman, nor white
refugee, but with reference also to the effect
It would have upon our WhOls fa1,paying
people, who have borne the expense and IA
tigue OF the war, and also the probable bur
den Il would be. M the future, to the great
party of freedom in this country in its con-
test tcith eorsrt treason and open Copper.
he4diSm.
With such an end in view, we caused the
bill to be examined by a legal gentleman
whose anti-slavsry record dates as far back
rs ls4s, whom many radicals who voted for
It were working in the interests of slavery, and
who has been q consistent anti-slavery man
ever since, as a legislator, as a warrior, as an
orator, and as = writer.
His analysis Of the bill we carefully ex-
AHMED, and the result of our examination
was the publication of the leading editorial
which appeared In the DAILY kEPUbLIcAh
on the 3lst Of January last, and which We
reproduce below.
At the time when that article was pre-.
pared, neither the President or Congress had
examined the bill, and, of course, had ex.
pressed no opinion on the subject whatever.
We consulted neither one nor the other. We
acted promptly, cautiously, and independ-
emily, As We believe the conductors Of free
press should always do.
Many Of the objections which We raised to
the hill. were removed before u was sent To
the President, bat not snOssh. In our judg-
pspt, " warrant its becoming law.

The Presidents veto Of the Freedmen's Blu.
reau bill has caused an undue excitement In
opposite quarters, among opposite parties
Many Of the iattsr-day radicals, who came
In at the eleventh hour and Affect To look
with scorn upon those who have borne the
heat and burden Of the day In the great
work Of emancipation, having but vague
idea Of the bill, and only looking upon IL as a
measure for the protection Of the freedmen,
jump at once to the conclusion that Presi-
dent JOHNSON has come out an enemy to the
black man aud the Republican party.
On the other hand, the hungry and thirsty
copperheads, who have been lying in wait
for something to turn up 10 their advantage,
were carousing last night, filed with bad
whisky and the false notion that the Presi.
dent Is about to throw himself into the arms
Of party which worked disbolieslIy to de-
feat his election, and reviled him indecently
after he became President. Both classes are
wofully deceived, as they will find to their
modification. Mr.. JOHNSON has not turned
his back upon the party that elevated him
to power, and he will DO able to settle any
family difficulty existing between them.
A farce has been concocted by one Of the
editorial fraternity to be played at one Of the
theatres next Thursday, called Immediate
Restoration" in which some Of the most fa-
nous Copperhead comedians, such as S. s.
Cox, will appear. At one time to-day II

The Lately Rebellious States In the
Supreme Court.

The Southern States have not, during the
past four years, furnished many cases for
the Supreme Court, but since the beginning
Of the third year Of the war, the district
courts in Louisiana and Florida have been
in full blast, and many cases have thus gone
up in regular channels to the highest tribu-
nal. These have been put upon what has
been called "the Dead Docket"-the court
declining to hear them under the condition
Of affairs prevailing. 1t was this proceeding
upon which Chief Justice CHAsE's action in
JEFF. DAVIS case was based. But yester.
day the court opened the docket. and these
causes, which have been SO long suspended,
are now to DO heard.

for the appointment Of official reporters, or
