INSTRUMENTATION.

The Cadiz Repudticda published last week
President Johnson's Veto Message, SD.
by side with the message its leading editorial
thus ntisrtpr, seats the document, which no
Intelligent reader will fail to see. We ask
our Republican frienls to take down their
paper and compare the message with the
editorial The editorial reads:
''IIe demands that their rebel States shall
st once be recon tructed and represented in
Congress- or, in other words, that the trai-
tors, whose hands are yet stained with the
blood of your sons and brothers, shall at
once be permitted to take seats in the Ma
tional Congress; side by side with the loyal
men who saved this Government; and that
they shall aid in recunstructing Govern
ment that they would have destroyed, but
flr the strong arms and stout hearts of the
loyal men OF the country, thousands of
whom died that this glorious Government
of ours might survive aul be perpetuated.
Yes, President johnson would permit jeff
Davis, John Z. Breckenridge. Robert +.
Lee, and other notorious and infamous
traitors to at once take their seats In Con-
gress, and with the aid Of the Copper heads
of the North, vote down our loyal Represen-
tatives, and reconstruct the Government On
basis to suit themselves. What say the
loyal men OF Harrison county? Are you
prepared to follow Andy johnson or any
other man into the rebel camp? What say
the brave men who have suffered SO much
to save and perpetuate this doycrnment?-
Are you willing now to surrender all for
which you have fought and bcd into the
hands Of the traitors South, and their Cop
lrrhead allies OF the North? VIII you per-
init Andy johnson 70 hand you over to the
vrndermsrccs of the leaders Of the rebellion?
Never Ncver!i'
President Jo,inlon, in the Veto Message,
says:
II hold it my duty to recommend to you,
in the interests OF peace ami in the interests
OF the Union, the admission OF every State
10 it's share in putc legislation, when pow
ever insubDrdinate, inJurgent or lebG1TouS
its people may have been, it presents itself,
not only in an attitude of loyalty and har-
mony, but in the persons of Representatives
whose loyalty cannot be questioned under
any existing Constitutional or Legislature
test. r'
1T is plain that all indefinite or perma-
nent exclusion OF any rart OF the country
from representation must be attended by a
spirit of disquiet and complaint. 1t is un
wise AMI dangerous to pursue course of
measures which will unite very large sec
tlon OF tbs country against another section,
however much the latter may preponderate.
The course of emigration, the development OF
industry and business, and natural causes,
will raise up men at the South as devoted
TO the Union as those Of any other part of
the country; but if they are excluded from
Congress, il in any permanent statute they
arc declared not to be in full Constitutional
relation to the country, they MAY think they
have cause to become a unit in feeling and
ssutimeu, against the Goyerament.
Tho President recommends the admission
of men to Congress who can take the requir
ed oa!hs If they come from Staes which
present themselves in an attitude Of harmo-
ny and loyalty. He disapprovcs perma
nent OF indifnite exclusion of all represen-
tativcs, regardless of the loyalty of the rep
resentaive or the people. How could he
state it more distinctly Aud yet, the Re
publican, protesting fairness, misrepresents
and falsifes the document in the very same
Paper in which the message is published. -
Shamsl Stand to the truth, Mr.. Repabli-
can, and present your own side without fall
1fying the position Of those with whom you
differ
We do not claim Andy johnson as
Democrat. We care not what he calls him
self. But We believe the Southern States
are entitled to representation in Congress -
We believe one Of the fundamental princi-
pies of Liberty is violated so long as they
are excluded, and We viii! give our mite of
sapport to the good President who believes
IA this fundamental truth SO strongly that
he defcs the Jacobins Of the party which
elected him to Office. w are willing to
ignore minor diffcrcnces that this great truth
may be vindicatcd.
Let all lovers of their country support An
dy johnson in the great work of restoration.
Let US unite to crush tho Disunion Radicals
who are endeavorng TO rcvolutionize the
(iovcrnnn The President invites the
people to support him in his great speech of
tha 22ul February, and right CALAMITY are
they coming up to his support. The radical
rebels will try to deceive, but read carfully,
and stuiy well the true interests of this
