THF smoke aud dust raised by the Presi
; dents veto having cleared away iD meas
nrs, public sentiment has reached clearer
stand point, and Is arriving at conclusions,
which the first nush VI excitement was IN
favorable to. The more common opinion
arrived a. BY candid and fair minded men.
sis. that, however much the exercise OF the
veto power, and the consequent jar be-
tween the Legislative and Executive De.
psr,meuts Of Government are TO be regretted,
.-the veto 10 itself, and the bill los, by It's
exercise, are not matters Of special alarm
or Significance. There is nothing 10 them
that eudspger any paramount principle -
Ouly 10 the light 10 which copperhead, and
sscessionisis place It, Of being the signal Of
abandonment BY the President Of bis lolt.
ical friends, and the acceptance of the foul
cuddIings and cub ace ofthe Vallabdigbau
sympaihscrs, is there ground for apprshcn--
sion 10 the minds Of the good and true -
Notw outstanding the forts Of the former
class to bring ab u. this result, there has
been hardly enough in the fact Of the veto,
TO warrant the conclusion that the Pest
dent had turned his back upon bis own
reiterated declarations to the contrary, a. d
wi hout the White House speech to the
miscellaneous assembloge that waited upon
him, most. not oil, would have accomo-
dated themselves 10 the Executive course.
This singular speech comes in very mop
portunely for the settlement of the public
mind. The exercise Of the virtue that the
people were preparing for. has, thus been
for the time-beipg blocked, aud they are
left. sgain aAoat, without support. to watch
for something to turn up, that shall either
bring them the desired help, or leave them
to 60 down 10 q A2od Of doubt and un-
certainty. We shall oil, therefore, become
Aicswbers, and look with anxiety for
another revolution upon tie political sxle
Whatever fate awaits rs, one thing is
tolersbly we'll proved, that. if the President
should, by his subsequent course warran,
the worst fears Of the nation, the moral
grandeur and effulgence Of the change. is
somewhat psled by the balcony talk with
those who desire to play the jackall to bis
lion. Our faith in the Presidents fidelity
to bis former commendable course, ss we'll
as bis later assurances, VIC are not willing
20 give up, and trust, that by moderation,
and better understanding Of each others
motives between the two departments, all
may Jet be right, and the opponents of The
bes. interests of the Government may 6sd
their hilarity and hope, sbor.-lived and
evsnescent.
The Cincinnati Gazette. v Which has been
unspariug 10 its denunciation of the Presi-
dent since the veto message, has the follow
ing editorial remark in relation TO :hc
letter Of Governor Cox:
The President has had q conversation
with Governor Cox, of Ohio, an au horized
report OF which has been given TO the pub
lie. and will be found in our dispatches
This affords strong ground for the hope
that MIR. johnson does not propose to de-
sert the party that elected hin and we
venture to say that the copperhead.. on
reading it, will arrive at the conclusion
that they were too fast in indorsing his
policy The policy as thus announced
they certainly cannot irdorse. without un--
dergoing q great change Of heart. The
idea advanced that the FreedmeD's Bureau
bill is to be maintained, and that none but
truly loyal men are to be admitted to Con.
gress, will especially prove distasieful.
