he voted for in Congress and sustained while
he was candidate for Vice President
ard even directly after he assumed the
Presidential chair, that his coldness amount
ed almost TO absolute and open hostility -
Ihe millions OF noble spirits who at first re
jecled the idea that the man, thus sustained

loyal people, would be callous or treacherous
aud who were then reluctantly forced to ac
custom themselves to this dismal apprehen-
sion, will not, | am sure, shrink from the
task now laid upon them of consolidating
their ranks against the common enemies OF
their country. They must abandon all aspi.
fallons for place; and the compensation for
this sacrifice il it be one, will be in the fact
that it is far better to be in a position of

THE VETO.

Since the assassination of ABRAHAM LIN
colin no public event has more deeply sad.
dcned the hearts and called forth the con
dcmnation Of the Union men of the State of
Delaware than the recent veto of the Freed
mems Bureau Bill, by the President. The
measure had been regularly before Congress
for several weeks and passed both branches
OF that body by over three -fourths Of the
votes, and having met with no decided or
substantial opposition from any quarter. it
had been confidently expected that the presi-
dent, acting upon the principles OF equality
and freedom, by which he was elected to his
present position, would gladly avail himself
of the opportunity thus presented of practi-
eally proving his patriotism and the sincerity
OF his professions by signing the bill, and So
to the extent of his power give assurance OF
security TO the thousands of liberated slaves
who were looking up to him as their yolun
teer Moses who was to lead them through
the wilderness Of doubt and insecurity 10 a
land OF liberty, peace and equality. But
alas! for human hopes Not only have the
Freedmen been disappointed, but the whole
loyal North has been deceived by the sweep
lug and unnecessary veto Of the President
Acting as though the germs of slavery and
treason were secretly imbedded in his heart
trom the beginning, Andrew johnson has
seen fit TO abandon the high position of pa
triouc devotion to his whole country which
ne seemed TO occupy before the late Presi.
Dental election, and 90 over to the interests
and Influences of secession and slavery.
The President can find nolling-not even

South or the traitors of the North He saws
1t Is unnecessary do the Copperheads

every objection urged by the President is
most heartily responded to by Amens and
reJoicings of the Coppcrheads above and be
low Mason and Dixon's line. And IN this
unpleasant, unenyable position before the
country and the world stands the man. who.
louder and more emphatic than any other
public individual, proclaimed that every
man be he black or white had an equal right
to life, liberty, and the protection of the
laws; and that treason was a crime and
should be punished as such.
But the Presidential veto must not. will

And the pale stars CLEAN on the mountain

And the golden sunbeams quiver.
Where the mountains grand guard well

Like sentinels never weary,
And the valleys green lie hid between
The forests dim and dreary.
In those old days, when nymphs and fays
Were found in every fountain;
And dryads then dwelt in the glen.
And climbed the grim old mountain

Full many a strange transaction;
The legend, then, that we would pen,
