Chicago, May 1.-THE President
objections to the Colorado bill, as ex
pressed in the veto message, are
First, that the establishment of a State
government is not necessary for the
welfare of the people of Colorado
The population is small-estimated al
from $4,000 to 10000, principally re-
cent settlers, many of whom are be.
leved to be ready for removal to other
mining districts, beyond the limsts Of
the Territory, if circumstances shall
render them more inviting Such O
population cannot but find relief from
excessive taxation, ifa Territorial sye'
tenn which devolves the expense of the
executive, legislative and judicial de.
partments upon the United States is
for the present continued. Second,
1t is not satisfactorily established that
majority of the citizens of Colorado
are not prepared for the exchange
of a Territorial for State ,5overn-
ment, Under this the votes of 1864
and 1865 are recapitulated, and the
President says it does not seem en-
tirely good law to permit the last mon.
toned result, 80 irregularly obtained
to outweigh the one which had been
legally obtained in the first election.
Third, the admission of Colordo is not
compatible with the public interest.
Under this head the President shows
. the inequality as regards the older and
more populous States. The President
says when California was admitted on
the ground of com mercial and politics
nj exigencies, it was easily foreseen
that that State was destined to rapid
ly become great, prosperous, and i'm.

munity. In the case of Colorado, l
am not aware of any national politic'
al or commercial eXigency which re-
quires a departure from the law of
equality which has been so generally
adhered to in our history. The Pres.
ident concludes as follows: The coma
dition of the Union at tho present
is calculated to inspire caution in re'
gard 10 the admission of new States.
Eleven old States have been for some
time, and still remain unrepresented
in Congress, 1t is the common inter-
est of all the States 80 unrepresented,
as we'll as those represented, that the
harmony of the Union should be re.
stored as completely as possible, so
that those who have expected to bear
the burdens of the Federal Govern
ment shall be consulted concerning
the admission of new States and
that in tho meantime no new State
shall be prematurely or unnecessarily
admitted to participation in the polit-
ic powers which the Federal Govern
ment wields--not for the benefit OF
any individual State or section, but
for the common safety, welfare aud
happiness Of the whole country.
Special dispatches from Washington
says there is not much interest now
felt in the Colorado question, owing
to the certainty that the bill cannot
pass the Senate over the Presidents
veto. The bill will not therefore
como before to House.
