PROVISIONS.

| am, therefore, constrained to return it
TO the Senate, the House in which it origi-
mated, with my objections to its becoming
a law. BY the first section OF the oilaII
persons born in the United States, and
not subject TO any foreign wtr,excluding
Indians not taxed, are declared to be citi-
zen> Of the United states. This provision
comprehends the Chinese of the Pacific
States, Indians subject to taxation, the
people called Gipsies, as well as the entire
race designated as blacks, people OF color,
negroes, mulattoes and persons Of African
blood. .... -

FEDERAL CITIZENS HIP.

Every lndlVldual or these races, Dorn In
the United States is by the bill made cit
izen of the United States. 1t does not
purpose to declare or confer any other
right of citizenship than "Federal citizen
ship" 1t does purport 10 give these
classes of persons any Statns AS citizens of
States, except that which may result from
their status as citizens of the United States
The power to confer the RIGHT OF State cit
izenship is just as exclusively with the sew
eral States as the power to confer the right
of Federal citizenship. is with Congress.
The right of Federal citizenship thus to be
conferred on the several excepted races
before mentioned. is now for the first time
proposed to be given by law If as is
claimed BY many, all persons who are ma
tive born are by virtue Of the Constitution
citizens of the United States, the passage
OF the pending bill caunot be necessary to
make them such.
lion the other hand, such persons are
not citizens, as may be assumed from the
proposed legislation to make them such.
the grave question presents itself when
eleven of the thirty-six States are unrep-
resented in Congress at this time, it Is
sound policy to make our entire celored
population, and all other excepted classes
citizens Of the United States Four. mill
ions of them have just emerged from sla
very into freedom. Can 1t he reasonably
supposed that they possess the requisite
qualifications to cntitlp them to oil the priv
iieges and immurities Of citizens of the
United STATES! Have the people of the
several States expressed such a convie-
tion: 1t may also be asked whether it 10
necessary that they should be declared
citizens in oIder that they NAV be secured
in the enjoyment Of the civil tights pro
pos"d to he conferred by the bill? Those
rights are, by Federal az well as State
laws, secured to all domiciled aliens and
foreigners, even before the completion of
the process of naturalization, and 1t may
safely be assumed that the same enact
ments are suffi ;ient to give like protec-
lion and benefits to those for whom this
bill provides special Legislation.
Besides. the policy of the Government,
from its origin to the present time, seems
to have been that persons Who are stran-
gers to and unfamiliar with our institutions
and our laws, should pass through a GER
tain probation, al the end which. before
attaining the coveted privilege, they must
give evidence of their fitness TO receive
aud to exercise the rights of citizens, as
contemplated by the Constitution of the
United States.

THE NEGRO RACE.

The bill, in effect, proposes a discrimi-
nate against large number of intelligent,
worthy and patriotic foreigners, and in fa-
vor of the negro, to whom. after long years
of bondagc, the avenues of freedom and
intelligence have just now been suddenly
opened. He must, of necessity, from his
previous unfortunate condition of servi
tude, be less informed as 10 the nature
and character of our institutions, than he
who. coming from abroad. has, to some
extent, at least familiarized himself with
the principles of Government to which
he voluntarily intrusts life, liberty and the
pursuit OF happiness. Yet it is now pro
posed, BY single legislative enactmert.
to confer the rights of citizens upon all
persons of African descent born within
the extended limits of the United States.
while persons of foreign birth. who make
our land their home,mus undergo proba-
ton of five years, and can only then become
citizens upon proof that they are Of good
moral character, attached to the principles
of the Constitution of the United States,
and well disposed to the good order and
happiness of the same.
The first section of the bill also con-
tains an enumeration of the rights to be
eni"ved by these classes 50 made citizens
in every State and Territory of the United
States. The rights are to make and en-
force contracts. to sue. be parties and give
evidence; to inherit. purchase. lease, sell
hold and convey real and personal proper
ty. and to have full and equal benefit OF
all laws and proceeding forth security OF
person and property as is now enjoyed by
white citizens. So. too. they are maze
subject to the same punishment, pains and
penalties in common with white citizens
and none Others. Thus perfect equality
OF the white and oolored races 10 attempt.

VETO OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
WAsHINGToN, March 27.
CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATIONS.

To the Senate of the United States -
I regret that the bill which has passed
both Houses of Congress, entitled "An act
to protect all persons in the United States
in their civil rights, and furnish the means
of their vindjcation," contains provisions
which cannot approve consistently with
my sense of duty to the whole people, and
my oblIgat ons to The Constitution of the
United States.

RIGHTS OF FREEDMEN.

Entertaining these sentiments, it only
remains for me to say that Twill cheerfully
cooperate with congress in any measure
that may be necessary for the promotion
of the civil rights of the freedmen, as we'll
as those of all other classes of persons
throughout the United States by judicial
process, under equal and impartial laws, in
conformity with the provisions of the Fed
eral Constitution. | now return the bill
to the Senate, and regret that in consider
ing the bills and joint resolutions, forty two
in number, which have been thus far sub
mitted for my approval, | am compelled to
Withhold my assent from second measure

bill, that judges Of the State courts who
shonld render judgments in antagonism
with its terms, and that marshals and
sheriffs who should, as ministerial officers,
execute processes sanctioned by State laws
and issued by State judges in execution
OF their JUDGMENTS, could be brought before
other tribunals, and there subjected TO fine
and Imprisonment for the performance of
the duties which such State laws might
impose.
The legislation thus proposed invades $
the judicial power of the State. 1t says to
every State court or judge, ''if YOU decide
that this act is unconstitutional if you re
fuse under the prohibition of State law
to allow negro to testify; if you hold
that over subject matter, the State law
is paramount, and refuse the right to the
negro, your error of Judgment, however
conscientious, shall subject you to fine and
Imprisonment" | do not apprchend that
the conflicting legislation which the bill
seems to contemplate, is so likely to occur
as TO render it necessary at tlmeto adopt
measure of such doubtful constitutional

ed to be fixed by Federal law in every
State of the Union over the vast field of
State jurisdiction covered by these emu
merated rights. In no ore of these can
any State ever exercise any power of DIS
elimination between the different races
Inqhhe exercise of State policy over mat
ters exclusively affecting the people of
each State, it has frequently been thought
expedient to discriminate between the two
races -

DIscRIMINArIvE PROTECTION.

The. object of the second section of the
bill is to afford discriminative protection to
colored persons in tie full enjoyment of
all the rights secured to them by the pre-
ccding section. 1t declares that "any per-
son who, under color of any law, statute,
ordinance, regulation, or custom, shall
subject, or cause to be subjected, any in
habitant Of any State or Territory to the
deprivation of any right secured or pro-
tected by this act, or to different punish
ment, pains, or penalties, on account of
such person having at any time been held
in condition of slavery, or involuntary
servitu e, except as punishment of crime
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted or by reason of his color or race,
than is prescribed for the punishment of
white pei sons, shall be deemed guilty of a
mis- demeapor, and on conviction shall be
punished by fine GOT exceeding one thou
sand dollars, or imprisonment not exceed
ing one year, or both in the discretion of
the court"
This section seems to be designed to ap-
ply to some existing or future law of a
State or Territory, which may conflict
with the provisions of the bill now under
consideration. 1t provides for coun,eract.
ing such f"rgidden legislation by imposing
fine and imprisonment upon the cgisla.
ton who may pass such conflicting laws,
or upon the officers or agents who shall
put or attempt to put them into execution.
1t means an official offense, not a common
crime committed against law upon the
person or property of the black man.
Such an act may deprive the black man Of
his property, but not of the right to hold
property. 1t means deprivatioa of this
right itself, either bv the State judiciary
or the State Legislature. tits. therefore,
assumed that, under this section, members
of State Legislatures who should vote for
laws conflicting with the provisions Of this
North Branch democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Pa.) 1854-1867, 1866-04-18
FEDERAL TRIBUNAL s.

1t is only when the offense does not hap
pen to be within the purview Of Federal
law that the Feieral Conrts are to try and
punish him under anv other law then resort
is to be had to the common law as modi-
fed and changed by State legislation. so
far as the same is not inconsistent with the
Constitution and laws OF the United States.
So that over this vase domain of criminal
jurisprudence, provided by each State for
the protection of it's own citizens, and for
the punishment of all persons who violate
it's criminal laws, Federal law, wherever it
can he made TO apply, displaces State law.
The question here naturally arises, from
what source Congress derives the power
to transfer to Federal tribunals certain clas-
ses of cases embraced in this section !? The
Constitution expressly declares that the ju-
dicial power of the United States shall ex-
tend to all cases in law and equality arising
under this Constitution, the laws OF the
United States, and treaties made or which

NEEDLESS PROVISION.

In the next pace this provision of the
bill seems TO be unnecessary, As adequate
judicial remedies could be adopted to =
cure the desiied end thout invading the
immunitles of Legislators always i.nPor-
tdnt to be preserved in the interest of pub
lie liberty, without assaiIing the indepen-
dence of the Judiciary, always essential to
the preservation of individual rights, and
without impairing tie efficiency OF ministe-
rial officers, always necessary for the main
tenancn of public peace and order. The
remedy proposed by this section seems to
he i'll this respect not only anomalous, but
unconstiutie ma, for the Constitution guar
antics nothing with certainty if it does not
insure to the several States the right of
making and executing laws in regard TO all
matters arising in their jurisdiction, sub
ject only to the Constitution and constita-
