| WAsHINGroN, Feb. 20.-The Presidents veto,
Message is all the talk. The first remark Of
everybody is that the President did not write it.
The next remark is that the President bad Sepa-
rated from the majority in Congress and gone
| over to the other side. All agree that the Mes
! sage is most ably written, admirable in argument
! and with incontroverti BILE points. The common
| belief is that Seward wrote or revised it, hence
comes the suspicion as to how the Cabinet stood,
and report says that Seward, McCulloch, Welles
and Dennison favored the veto, the others oppo-
sing. The effect here is marked. Both Joy and
anger and perhaps dismay are exhibithd, Itis
| only too apparent that the breach is widening
between the President and the party. Whether
it is too wide for either to jump across wheth-
er either is disposed to jump remains to be seen.

favor the admission of the unwashed traitors to
