The Appeal to the People.

The Preside ut in his recen, speech boas.ingly
talked of his trust in the people. We also be-
lieve in the people, and confidently second sp-
peal to them. The people can be trusted. They
have not forgottop,-however much it may
seem that all remembrance of treason has faded
out OF President Johnson's mind-that treason
is crime, and that this gigantic crime has just
cost the nation treasure anu blood lncalcuabe.
They have not lost sight of their solemn purpose
to make this people free in deed as well in
name They have conceived new borr love
of traitors, but believe yet that those who stood
by the flag when treason was houting 1t, are bet
ter counseIlors and safer statesmen than those
who filed the bel armies and treasury. They
are not ready yet to put Butler in Fortress Mon
roc and Lee in Congress, to hang Sumner and
welcome A. Ii. Stephens and Herchel V. johnson
to the Senate Chamber, to Danish Thaddeus Ste
vens from the Representative Hall, even to
welcome to that Legislative assembly the rebels
who left it to make war en- the government
The people, thank God, can be trusted whether
Presidents fail through ambition or; weakness, q
folly, whether Congress is wise or foolish. Ard
it is time the people spoke in e voice of indgna
ton and in thunder tones that shall penetrate
every ear in Washington, declaring their IN
shaken determination to build the future of the
country upon the solid rock of fidelity to liberty
and repub.icanism. 1t is time that the morbid
sentinentalism which pretends to difference
be ween hose who have fought against the gov
zrumea. and tuose who have fought for it, was
shaken out OF our rulers by a storm Of popular
rebuke. Ii is time that men in Washington and
everywhere in the country were made to under
stand, that the people we're terribly in earnest
il fighting treason, they now terribly il
in the determination that treason shall be stamped
with the ineffaceable brand of their Indignation
and hate. 1t is time that those who have saved
the country from armed treason, should save il
now from the traitors whom it is proposed to well
come once more to power. Let the people make
known their viii to their servants, and make it
known with such clear expression and such stern
and solemn emphasis vi. comman respect
and Obedience.

The Effect of the Veto Message on the House.

The message vetoing the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill to the Senate, the bill having orig
mated IN that body, but the members Of the
House knew of If, and is effect there may be
judged from the following report OF that day s
proceedings:
Mr. Stevens of Pennsylvania, from the Joint
Comm on Reconstruction, reported d JOINT
resolu tiOn that IN order to cease agitation on
question which seems likely to disturb the action
OF the Government, as we'll az 10 quiet the IN
certainty which exists IN the minds OF the people
OF eleven states which have been declared 10 Dc
IN lnsurrection, senators or representatives
shall be admitted into Congress from either OF
said states until Congress shall have declared
such states entitled to such represen taton.
Mr. Order obtained leave To have read a mi
nority report, concluding with the resolution de-
clarIng that Tennessee IL entitled to representa-
ton, and that her represen tatlvee be hereby ad-
United to seats In Congress on qualifying them
selves according TO law.
MIR. Stevens said there WIS earnest dispo-
sition until yesterday TO Inquire and see whether
they could admit that state to representation,
but since yesterday there has been such state
OF things dc to induce The Committee TO consider
il wholly out OF their power TO proceed further
without surrenderlns great principle and with
out surrendering the rights OF this body to the
ursurIation OF another power. He demanded
the previous question.
Mr.. Rogers OF New Jersey, amid calls of or
der, declared al aiuss the passage OF this resolu-
tion under " gag ruls-
Mr. Stevens objected to Mr.. Orders making
a report. lie sand he could not consent, Tor there
was earthquake around us, and he trembled
and dared not yield.
There was much excitement and calls to order
during the proceedings.
MIR Stevens having moved the previous Ques
ton the resolution, Eidridge, Johnson, Chan
der and others sought to stave of vote by
motions to adjourn, &c, which were egAtived
by yeas and nays
Mr.. EldrIdge said he and his friends would
stop these dllstory motions. If Mr.. Stevens
would withdraw the demand for the previous
question, SO that the resolution might be de-
bated
/ MIR. Stevens said he sat here iorty-eight hours
in 1861, when the rebels went out, and he could
now stand 1t thirty-six hours longer.
These preliminary tactics were then resumed.
MIR Fink made motion that the resolution
be laid ON the table, aud aft rward withdrew it,
and under the operation OF the previous Ques-
ton the resolution was passed-1o9 against 40
All the New England representatives present
voted for the resolution. Messrs. Morrill,, Bax-
ter and Woodbridge of This State. were in their
seats and voted "aye.'' Among the noes ;"
were Raymond and Hale of New York, and two
or three others elected as Union men, but who
now usually vote with the Democrats This
was the answer of the House to the Presidential
veto.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has delivered an
address in Brooklyn, approving of the President
course, and at the same time, with ontradiction
OF ideas which seems now to be common with
him when talking of reconstruction, demanding
suffrage for the blacks tue only way to make
their emancipation perfect. He favored the ad-
mission Of Southern represen natives and senators,
but adhered to his selfcontradiction by declaring
in favor of making South Carolina an exception.
His audience were enthusiastic and applauded q il
the phases of his politics.

Vote in the Senate on the Fresdmens bu-
raau Bill.

r08u Dill.
Below is an extract from the proceedings IN
the Senate on the question of passing the Freed
mems Bureau Bill over the Presidents veto y:
Mr.. Wiley explained that he would vote
for sustaining the veto not because he Endorsed
all the sentiments of the Presidents message,
but because he believed the bill unconstitutlon.
al He did not feel at liberty to vote for me o'ii
while it contained provision to expend money
for lands for the freedmen.
The question being called for the Chair an
nounced that it was 8. Shall the bill pass, the
Presidents objections Notwithstanding The
yeas AMI nays were required by the Constltu-
ton. The vote was follows
Yeas-Messrs Anthony, Brown, Chandler,
Clark, Connese, Cragin, Cresswell. Fessenden,
Foster, Grimes, Harris, henderson, Howard,
Howe, Kirkwood, Lane of Indiana, Lane OF
Kansas, Morrill, Nye, Poland, Pomeroy, Ram

Wade, Williams, Wilson, Yates-3o.

Willey-l8.
Abeent-Messrs. Foot and Wright
Mr.. Poland said his colleague (Foot) ~as
confined to his bed with sickness. bat IL present
he would have voted for tho Dill.
The Char amounted the number voting to
the Affirmative, being less than ,wo-thirds, the
bill bad failed The announcement was greeted
with loud misses from the colored gallery, and
mingled with applause and Kisses from other
parts of the galleries.
The Senators who voted originally to pass the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, and finally voted to kill
it, were Messrs. Dixon of Connecticut, Doc
little of w isconsin, Morgan of New York, Nor
ton of Minnesota, Stewart of Nevada, and Van
Wrinkle of West Virginia. 1t lie matter of just
pride to Vermonsers that the Senators from this
State were not moved by executive influence to
turn their backs upon principles. Senator Foot
would undoubtedly have been present if it had
not been reasonably certain that his vote would
have been fruitless and indeed it is not I'M
possible that he was paired with Mr.. Wright. q
Democrat The votes of Senators Morgan and
Norton created more surprise than any others.
Dixon and Doolitte have substantially Joined
the Democrats, and can be counted on that side
of the House whenever they needed and
Cowan of Pennsylvanis, elected Repu bill
can, votes with the Democrats even more CON-
sistently than Doolittle and Dixon.

The Copperheads are bowling at the large
number of amendments to the Constitution now
before Congress; and congratulate the President
upon the stand be has taken-or which thew
think he has taken-against them. 1t may
mitigate their wrath to learn that Mr.. johnson,
during his Congressional service , introduced no
less than nine different amendments to the Con-
stitution and that time when no amendment
was imperatively demanded by the exigencies of
the times, as is now the case.

Presidential Appointments South.

The New York Evening Post, which sustains

The Post mildly says that this is " mischievous

hitingly characterize it. Is Congress in error in
going again this work of reconstruction,
when the President has done his part of it after
this fashion Had not the people right to ex-
poet something different from him who declared
that treason must be made odious, and traitors
