THE VETOED BILL.

IT'S NISCHfEVOCS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BAD PRECEDESTs. DC.
The vetoed civil rights bill, by its title is a
bill to guarantee colored persons in their rights.
Jt proceeds not to secure their rights to them,
but begins with a declaration of citizenship.
thus raising debatable question whether they
are Citizens or not. A question which, not Con
gress, but the Courts alone can decide In so
dong 1t proposes to secure Chinese Indians
Gipsies, &c, in rights of citizenship and lea YES
all white aliens to wait i've years and then nm
dergo an examination as to loyalty, morality,
&c, before they can acquire rights of United
States citizenship. After all this, the bill real
ly secures rights to none. and amounts to moth
ing more than bone OF discord and conten.
tion-a bundle of mere distractions thrown in
to divide the country.
As for the details of the BILL it suffices to saw
thatthey are taken by the Republican party ma
Jority OF Congress from the hardest and worst
experience and practice Of the Democratic
party, when in power.
Fifteen years ago, California and New Mex.
ico, both conquered just the southern States
are now said to be, declared themselves loyal,
and sppiied to the Union w hig A administration
OF Gen. Taylor for admission into the Union
The Democrats objected, and insisted as a con-
dItion of their admission, on the passage of the
fugiuve slave law and practical denial Of
%ne " uInOt prOTlso. Inc Democrats sue
ceeded. The condiuons Of compromise oo-
tanned by the Democratic party divided and
distracted the country; the fugitIve slave law
became odious, because il in vaded the freedom
of the citizen throughout the United States
Finding this TO be the result Of their unwise
labors, the Democrats connived With the slave
States, and thus carried the nation with rail-
way speed into rebellion and civil war. The
Union party succeeded under MI Llncoln
and Mir. Johnson, suppressed the civil war.
put an end to anarchy, and eradicated
every root Of slavery throughout the land
The Republican Union party having done this
noble work, the President now invites Con-
gress to restore and protect the autonomy Of
the Union. The leaders in Congress object
and refuse, and set up conditions which are
mere distractions. They borrow the machin-
cry Of the odious fugitive slave law to work
up those distractions, and have already but
too successfully begun the work Of discord,
disorganization and distraction; arraying the
white laborer against the black laborer, the
foreign born against the native citizen, State
against State and viting the old free States to
renew q collision with the Southern States
now become equally free States, and equally
devoted TO the Union, and equally necessary
for its safety and welfare.
There Is nevertheless a hope and assurance
OF escape. Reason and judgment, after all,
control States as well as individuals and the
people are always found competent to exercise
that reason and judgment before the nation
REACHES the point of real danger and alarm
