THE SECOND VETO.

i By the veto of the Civil Rights bin Ia,
President has driven another weSge- thrO0gt
the heart of the Republican party. The Ten
nesseean strikes with an unshsksn, wfin an
a stalwart arm. All along the fine the qniv.
ering Republican trunk shrinks and groans
as the blows faIL-bat there is no cessation
its doom is sealed. .He that taketh up the
sword shall die.by the sword" The party thai
came into power by splitting the Republic
and representing one half of 1t, in the won
derful providence of Time, now writhes in
dying agony as the wedge is driven through
its own shrieking, parting fragments. It's ex-
sista3ce is incompatible with9theIndivisibili-
ty of the Union. A sectional party, has no
business in perfect Uuion. II is un-Amer-
ican4 un-patriotic. That party which repre-
SCENTS the whole: country-that sentiment
which throbs in the blood, and warns the
heart alike of tie Eorthernes and the South
.erner--is that party and that passion which
can alone build up great Republican Union
to confront the moaapehies of the world A
sectional party Is the curse of this Republic
The Presidents feels this, and is sturdily
knocking the Republican party in the head
We call attention to the veto massage which
we publish to-day. His a synopsis horribly
mutilased by the telegraph, but notwithstand-
ing is a strong, unanswerable argument.
The President couldnot have signed that bill
ERashout vafuIly violating hrs oath of Office.
1t was one of series of measures to preserve
the Republican party at the expense of the
country. The Freedman's Bureau bill, this
Civil Rights bill, and numberless amead-
ments to the Constitution, were portion of
a epreconcerted J. systematic scheme to silently
change the form of the Government SO tina:
one section, could control the other. Had
the. Constitutions been, amended as proposed
by the tinkers of this Congress, and these We
toed bills became laws, the old Union and
the old Republic of our fathers, would have
different from the old one, as that was from
the governments of France or Austria, would
have taken its place. And strange as it is
q majority of that party, would have acqui-
esced in the change. Ifang other nation had.
thrust sueh a government upon the American
people by torces the men who applaud Con-
gress now would have taken down their rifles
to defend the country. But the Republican
partysha become the slave of Its masters,
and whatever course the leaders take to per-
petuate their power is hailed with an applaud
ing Amen. Thank God. the American PEG
pie have found sone man to stand between
them and the destToyers Of their Governments
Thank God, these traitors have been buried,
backward from the instrument they sought
10 destroy. Would that the Presidents wish
sould'be gratifed that the whole American
people could be- there to witness the great
struggle going on for the preservation of the
Constitution. Iherebeiiop hasswung around4
rom the,South~to the North, and the war in
another form still goes on. This struggle is
IS eventfu asthe other-aye, more so. THAT
ION test imperiled the boundaries of the Re- |
public but this imperils the existence o fl
rec Institutions through the whole country.
Seventy pending Constitutional amendments,
md these sweeping, Infamous vetoed bills
would scarcely leave trace of our old Re-
publican government fthey finally prevail,
We pass under a gDverament new, strange
md foreign to American soil administrations.
-TheADemocratic partly in resisting these
Aggggressionsand sustaining the President, is
ontendiDg for all thatis precrous to freenen,
ii that is valuable to Americans, all that has
made Us powerful, free, and prosperous
