The above is from the st. Louis Democrat,
Il rabid radical disunion sheet.
The Cincinnati Enquirer lengthens the
list and renders it more interesting to con-
template, from another standpoint. 1t
says:
Its list of those who approve of the veto
is correct, barring the slang, as far rs 1t
goes, but it is very imperfect. We will
continue it little. Here are few names !:

Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the
Treasury.
Hon. Gideon Wellcs, Secretary of the
Navy.

Insult to a Coiored Gem'n!

FRED. DOUGLASS made a speech, last

'IIad he (Mr. Lineoln) lived, loyal black
men would not have been insulted In Wash

johnson. when he told them to go home
and work and prove that they were enti-
tied to freedom"
President johnson ought 10 be ashamed
10 "insult" colOred gentlemen by asking

What Was Vetoed.

Before tlc President placed his reto on
the infamous Negro Bureau Bill, cotem-
porary. after carefully examining It's pro-
visions, said that, in the event Of It's be-
coming law and put Into practical opera
tion, It will prove the most gigantic swindc,
the most stupendous humbug that was
ever imposed upon any people. 1t makes
plenty of good places for Yankee adven-
turcrs; it impoyerishes the Federal Treas
ury /; It pcrpetuatcs the Abolition party It
grinds the white lahorers of the North TO
the dust; It ruins the negro; 1t makes a
Jamaica out of the South, and il docs away
with the Constitution of the United States.
Abolition folly and fanaticism, in the
ecstacy OF its madness, could divine no
better scheme of destruction than this.
While it was under discussion in the
Senate, Mr.. SALISBURY, of Delaware, in a
brief speech pointed out some Of its mon
strous features, and so pointedly did p he
hold them up TO dctestation, that its de-
Tenders impotcntly failed in their dcfcnses.
We briefly quote;
The bill under consideration has pre-
pared and enlarged the powers of the
Frccdmcn'S Bureau. IL does enlarge them
wonderfully. | think l can demonstrate
this mathcmatically. This bill gives the
| President of the United States and to those
connected with the discharge of duties of
the bureau the power of spending at least
| S250O0,00O'
! He showed that IL gave patronage to n
dangerous extent, to the President as well
as bringing an immense expense upon the
country. 1t provided for an agent of the
! Bureau in every county. There were l.G7S
counties in the United States. In every
one of these nm agent at $l,5O0 year, would
come to $257i.000; for clerks or assistant
commissioners ut Sl,200 year. would cost
| SG6, 400 and 3,2i2 clerks for agents. in addi-
tiou to all those, would make total for
officers alone, of $7,3lt2OO.
IQAhis, the Delaware Senator gave but
the %trcst skeleton idea of the mischievous
powers which it was proposed should be
entrusted to the Executive. On this point
the Commercial says:
Neither the Russian Gar nor the Aus
trian Emperor, rules over the conquered
provinces of Poland, aud of Italy rs the
President might rule over the States of the
South under the provisions of the Freed
mems Bureau Bill. He could fill those
States with his creatures, planting them as
! IulcklN HS poSl-olH'Ps, dllu Suppuib NFt'i
one with n military force. He declares
however, that the power which would thus
be placed in his hands is such as ought
never TO he intrustcd 10 any one in time
of peace
The arguments that President JOHNSON
employed against it, in his veto message,
comprehcnded all, and much more of these
objections, and demonstrated, to an i'm
passioncd mind, that, when he strangled it.,
he stranglcd a monster.

The Presidents Party in Cincin-
nati-He Is to be Sustained.

We copy the following from the Enquirer,
of this morning 1t is quite significant
and means business:
MEETING TO SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT.
We learn that yesterday an informal
meeting was held in this city by the Uni
ted States District Attorney, Postmaster.
Surveyor of the Port, MARSHAL, Internal
Revenue Assessors and Collectors, Steam
boat inspectors, Pension Agent and other
United States officials hereabOuts, Mt the
suggestion of certain prominent conserYa-
tive Republicans, for the purpose of getting
up public meeting of citizens to sustain
the President in his efforts to preserve the
Union. and restore harmony between the
sections.
We learn that there was no hesitation
among these officials as to the proper course
for them TO pursue. They were, one and
all, for upholding, with Secretary Seward,
Secretary McCulloch, Postmaster Dennisoh,
aud other distinguished Republicans. the
the hands of the President in the patriotic
work in which he Is engaged. A sugges-
ton was at one time made TO have the meet
ing called to sustain both the President
and Congress, but the idea, under the cir
cumstances, was considered so ridiculous
that the suggestion was soon withdrawn.
| We suppose the announcement of the meet
ing willappear In day or two.
We are not advised of the time set for
such a demonstration as that hreabouts,
or even that such conclusion has yet been
reached but we can not doubt that Mr..
JoHNsoNs friends, who are in his conf
dence, enjoy his patronage and naturally
desire to see him sustained, against the
threats Of impeachment and the tragedy
of the seailold, will soon rally in all their
might and boldly and magnanimously
stand forth as the champions OF his patri-
otic cause. Delay, in such a crisis. would
seem to be criminal.

TnE NIGGIR BRIGADE.-The formation
direction and support of negro lobby at
Washington this winter, by the radical lea
ders, is one of the new features of the Con-
gressional season under radical rule. The
negroes who called upon Mr.. JOHNSON the
other day were simply playing part In
the programme of war against the Presi-
dents policy, for which they had been duly
assigned and trained. This fact is notorl-
ous In well informed political circles.

A Republican "Organ" on the Veto.


The Circlcville linton, Jealous Republic
master in that city, makes the broadest of
issues with large majority of the radical
press on the policy and sentiments of the
peto message. We only extract briefly, but
enough to show how widely the editor diff
fers from the malignants, who, throughout
the country, are branding their own Presi-
dent ms a traitor.
EXTRACTS
Like all the State Papers of President
johnson, it is distinguished for its logic
and clcarucss of statement. There can be
no miStakiug his views.
The message bears the impress of honesty
and deliberate conN iction, and hence its ar
glments are entitled to the candid consid
Grafton of even those who may not be con-
vinced by them. ...-.
"Bclievng that it contains provisions not
warranted by the Constitution he refuses
to give it his signature. 1t would establish,
in time of peace, an overwhelming mill
tary tribunal, and fcarfully enlarge the
Executive power, and hence, he says, that
he can not reconcile a system of military
Jurisdiction of this kind, with the words of
the Constitution which declare that no
person shall be held to answer for a capi-
tai or otherwise infamous crime, unless on
n presentmcnt or Indictment of Grand
jury &c.
The fiscal argument is also worthy of
attention. This bill if carried out, would
cost S26,OOO,00O per annum. Are the peo-
pie ready for this vast expenditure in adj
dition to their present burdens?
Here, however is a short paragraph
which deserves the immediate attention of
those rampant irrepressibles who are swift
to have the President impeached, tried as a
traitor and victimizcd on the ScqGold:
There are doubtless, some Union men
who regret the exercise of the veto power
in this case, and are disposed TO que stion
the fidelity of the President. All such
should learn to be Just in their censures
and criticisms When did Andrew john
son ever prove recreant TO his principles 2
| lie proclaims the same sentiments now, on
the snbicct of the rights of the States,
that he has ever entertained. They do not
differ with those of Abraham Lincoln or
the Platform of the last National Union
Convention. The only difference between
the President and the Radicals, in Con-
gress, is, that he has maintained his orig
inal convictions, while they have advanced
! theirs"
We earnestly call attention TO this bold
arraignment of the radicals in Congress- -
from our 'loyal' neighbor the Dayton
Jo1URdL tho Cincinnati Gasette, the Spring
field Republic, and many other violent de-
famers of PRESIDENT JOHNSON i'm the West
