THE NEW YORK PRESS on THE VETO.
NEW YORK, Feb 20.-Thc follow
ing are extracts from the morning
press regarding President johnson 5
veto of the Frccdmcn's Bureau bill {:
The World says: President john
son has noblv sustained his charac-
ter for steadiness Of purpose and
political courage by the veto sent
to the Senate yesterday, OF the bill
for charging the powers OF the
Freedmen : Bureau, The conSlde-
ration of most immediate interest
is the likelihood of the veto being
effective. Can Il bill be passed by II
two. thirds vote of both lIous 5 over
the veto, and become a law in spite
OF the President? We think it
c,nnut: but the question is not so
entirely free from doubt as to set
tl.c public anxiety at rest until the
trial has been made
The Tribune says: I'VE deeply
regret this. and we think he will
live to regret this even more deep
"; for this veto will be understood
by all that is brutal and rutlianly at
the South, as giving license to any
abuse and oppression of the blacks
that white malignity, rancor or hate
can devise"
The Times saws: The veto i'm
plies no essential difference OF opin-
ion between the Executive and the
majority of Congress on the primal
~ object of the bill In no essen
tial point is the President at vari-
ancc either with the majority of
Congress or with the country, so
far as the claims of the freedmen
are concerned. He seeks to reach
the end aimed at in the veto bill by
other. and what he deems less radi-
cal, agencies. 1t will tn ret0re be
for Congress and the country to
weigh carefully the objections offer
ed, and at least to respect, II they
cannot assent. to the reasons on
which the Executive veto is based.
The Herald says: The Freed
mems Bureau bill, has, at the hands
of Pres dent Johnson, met with the
fate which it deserved. His gene.
raj arguments and his specifications
against the bill are consistent, con-
yincing and conclusive.
New YORK, Feb. 25.-The Her
aids special correspondent says :
The speech of Secretary Seward be- /.
fore the Cooper Institute meeting Is
invested with additional Signiti-
canoe. from the fact of his receiving
two or three dispatches from Sena .
tor Nve and others, stating that the .
President had made terrible
speech. one that he could not posi-
bly, approve or indorsc, and one
that must inevitably break up the
Republican party. Mr.; Seward
however, upon learning what the
President had said, tclegraphed a
full and cordial approval.
NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-Clubs in
dorsing the policy of Andrew john
son are being established through
out the city and State.
