We have already expressed our views on the veto Mes

The veto Is conclusive demonstrauon OF
bat was apparent before that the conflict between the
President and Congress admits OF neither compromise
nor reconciliation; and that the controversy can De oe
ced only by an appeal to their common superors, the
sovereign people,.
The Times, Republican, says:
The message Of the President announcing his veto OF
the Civil Rights Bill which we publish IN iai t otnss s
venture think that few state papers nave ever oeen
given TO the world that will thoroughly compt! tne
attention Of thinking men Of whatever creed or

The Herald which endeavors to represent both
parties, says:
"The veto OF the Freedmen's Bureau bill was but the
distant u mder announcing the approaching STORM.
This veto is the storm ITSELF and when it shall have
passed away we shall nave purer political sky and a
better atmoso ohere But before that happy change the

awe dare say that this Civil Rights bill against the
Presidents objections will share the fate OF the Freed
mems Bureau; but In any event. 1t declaration o.
war against the Radicals and their impractcaole
schemes and Andrew Johnson as In the rebellion, is
the to fight through his platform OF the union
and the Constitution"
The Netu: says
'eThe President has strengthened his position i'm
measuraby by his veto Of the odious and uncon:iitu
tonal Civil Rights Bill. OF course 1t will intensity the
Radical hostility toward him. but that may be consider
ed as point gained. There was no possibility OF any
compromise between the Executive and tho revolution
lists in Congress compatible with his dignity and the in
teress of the country and the more open and decided
the antagonism between two such powers the sooner
will the issue be determined. The masses will hail with
delight the evidence of their Chief Magsres frmness
in combating the schemes of incendiary faction II
s only by rcsolute exercise OF the sxeeuivo authority
that ts unnatural contest between the two most potent
influences in the political sphere can be brought to an
end"
FoavE1, the dead duck" in the Philadelphia Press
says:
"How utterly beneath contempt Andrew johnson be.
came when he sought 10 effect to nullfy the great
amendment by denying that 1t made citizens OF those
who had heretofore been slaves |"
The Tribune has an oracular article, implying more
