from political cOnsiderations-in most
cases for their belief in the necessity for
the action of the Bureau and consequent
prejudice against and hostility to thepeo
ple. Nor should the people Of the North
aatter themselves that it was a scheme
which only applied to the South and
with which they had no immediate con-
cern. The proposition has already been
made to extend its operation into Illinois
and Indiana where many freedmen have
gone and nemightnext expect itin Ohio.
For the Freedman's Bureau as origi-
nally organized while the war was still in
progress there may have been some ne
cessity, to provide for the destruction
and suffering incident to a state Of war
We are far from casting censure on all
who have been charged with its admins
tration. Gen. Howard the Superintendent
from all we hear is good man and so
are some of his assistants as we know ::
and the efforts of such men have doubt
less accomplished some good-just as
some good masters have ameEorated the
evils of slavery. But the system in its
whole scope is inherently vicious and
hence we have seen it extending its en-
croachments practising the most unmiti-
gated outrages on the plainest rights of
the people and setting at defiance the
laws of the civil authorities Of the country.
The whole thing should be swept away.
The President has done good thing in
preventing the continuance and enlarge
ment Of the system, but he would do
better by abolishing it entirely at the
earliest practical moment. In express
ing our appreciation of this act of the
President we commend the act and the
reasons for which it was done and the
general policy indicated in the message
as offered to the Revolutionary party in
Congress and we do not wish to be un-
derstOOd as giyingan unqualified endorse
ment to every utterance in the message
much less to everything the President
has done. or may hereafter do. And
this we understand to be the position also
of the Democracy in their endorsement of
him. The Democracy stand on their
own ground. They will welcome and
support all measures looking to the
maintenance of the Constitution and the
Union and the restoration of law by
inaugurated. But measures
must bear this test to receive their apprO-
baton.

The PEssiaeat,. speech on 22d Feb, 1866:

The Disunionists of the Cincinnati
Gazette class are sorely troubled at the
Presidents speech at his Mansion House
Door, when the people came to greet
him-with thanks for his veto. They
say that such a speech from King in
England would cost him his head. CA
gentle insinuation to assassinate. And
Mr.. Wendell Phillips had already said
that the President was an obstacle in the
way and should be got rid off, They
are shocked at the bad taste of making
speeches at all in such a way the taste
is bad enough surely, but the fashion
was set BY the sainted martyr, and the
frequent Cabling from the House Porch
was taken very calmly then. They are
sorelY troubled too, at the speech itself
as in worse taste :: granted, that the taste
is bad, but the matter is good! Yea and
there is the rub.
On that matter Of assassination so
gently hinted to the maniacs of the
country, the President was prOvOkingly
bold and he jeeringly admonished them
that the blood of the martyrs was the
seed Of the church. If Mr.. Sneak Loyal
has taste for going into the assassin
business again, he may be admonished
that be will be venturing too much. If
you dare to remove the obstacle" i" lfyOu
make way with Andrew ] Ohnson, you will
arouse a spirit which will come in wrath
upon you. That spirit will suffer no
President of Senate, ne Speaker of the
House, no Chief Justice of Court to
take his place as a reluctant successor
Chaos will come again.

ANDY JOHNSON,
Public Auctioneer.

We publish in full the address de-
livered by Alexander II. Stephens, before
the Georgia Legislature, on the 22d of
February. 1t will be only less celebra-
ted than his last appeal for the Union,
before the overt acts Of treason and the
outburst of war, made in the same place,
and before the same body, FIVE years ago
Mr.. Stephens has not lost any of his old
time ability in stating case, and has
spoken on this occasion evidently not to
make sensation, but to moderate excite
ments. and incuIcate sentiments Of char
ity and good will, as the best restoratives
of a people beaten in arms and broken in
fortune. We presume he possesses more
influence than any other Southern man !;
and it is one of the good signs of the
times that he is So clear-sighted and
olain-spoken as to the actual situation in
the South, and the duty Of the Southern
people toward the freedmen. If the ad-
vice given by Mr.. Stephens as to the
treatment Of the blacks were generally
followed by the class to whom it is ad-
dressed. and it was made apparent that
the views he advances regarding the pro-
lection and education of the freed, but
almost helpless, and exceedingly igno-
rant people, the Freedmen's Bureau
would be abolished in three months, with
the full consent of all, except those in
terested in its continuance.-CiRcinnati

Senators in Proportion to Numbers,

Mr.. BUCKALEw of Pennsylvania has
proposed in the Senate of the United
States to amend the Constitution, of the
United States, so as to allow each State
one Senator for one million OK less, and
one additional Senator for each addition
al million of people. We accept the
amendment as we are the original movers
of the proposition. On the 18th July,
1864, the URBANA UNION gave the fol-
lowing which was widely copied at the
time:
TINKERING THE CoNsTITUTIoN.-The
" Patch of States down east, wish TO
have the Constitution so amended as to
give Congress power over slavery. A
very pious Convention in Philadelphia
wish to have the preamble so amended
as to compel them to admit that God
rules the World. We submit for con-
sideratioD of The Patch the follow
ing: "That each State shall have one
Senator in Congress, and one additional
Senator for each half million of inhabi-
tants.
The Constitution says that the States
shall not be deprived of their equal repre-
esentation in the Senate, without their
consent. Just so : if ' The Patch does
not like the amendment and does not
consent they can quit.

The Veto,

WE publish on our first page entire
the Message of the President vetOing the
Freedm6n's Bureau Bill, and we COM
mend tito the attention Of all our readers.
It is the sensation of the day. It has
been received With almost unqualified ap-
pro7al By the Democratic press and peO-
pie of the country as an evidence that
the career Of lawlessness and usurpation
which the administration has been run
ming for over three years was at last to
be checked and return had to the land
marks of the Constitution while from
the Republican press it has met with all
degrees Of criticism from qualified COM
mendati0n, to outspoken and virulent de-
nunciation. The rage of the radicals at
this opposition to their revolutionary
schemes knows no bounds.
By this act the President has done an
incalculable service to the country. How
great this service really is, can only be
realised by cHe Wbe looks at the bill in
connection with the course of legislation
in Congress a course driving on direct
Iy to the total subversion of our free in
stitutions. The exclusion for an indef-
mite periodic be regulated at the dis
erection and party necessities of a maiori-
ty Ia Gongress-of third of the peo-
pie Of the United States from represen-
tation the assumption of powers never
before dreamed of as being granted to
Congress by the Constitution: and the
steady effort to concentrate allpower into
the hands Of a eentralised Government
at Washington were acts well calculated
to excite the gravest apprehensions of
the patriot.
It was the remark Of a distinguished
Senator Cabinet Minister of former
days-that the passage or the continued
operation Of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill
would Oe greater ground for revolu-
tion than eur ancestors had in '76. The
remark is literally true. The principal
grievance OF our forefathers was the
assertion of the right to tax them with
out their own consent This bill besides
owing its passage to an exercise of the
same right violates almost every other
right held sacred by freemen. Trial by
jury-tbe intervention Of grand jury-all
the safeguards thrown round the liberty
and safety and property of the citizens
by the Constitution are swept away and
the people of every state where there are
freedmen or refugees to be looked after
are handed over to be governed at dis
erection by irresponsible military agents
detailed from the army or appointed

A Hint for BOnd-holders.


THERE is "a little story in the life
of BrindSley Sheridan about two young
Englishmen who were troubled with
weakness in the breast, for which they
were advised to go to Italy and drink
asses milk, They were also, generally
thought to be weak in the head as well
as in the breast. One of the young men
was reported in presence of Sheridan to
have expressed his fears that they might
have to give up the remedy because asses
milk was so dear Sheridan, at once re-
piled, let them suck one another.

WE are speaking of Boston paper
called " The Right Way" Please not
to think that we consider it the right
way. It processes to issue $4,000 copies
every week and to send them free pre-

South, such as Sumner and Stevens would
utter, to fire the Northern Heart and
make it hard and villainous. 1t asks
for lists Of names, to which papers may
be sent, and it asks for contributions
Who pays for. this? and with what mo-
tive is the cost incurred? Itwas bysuch
machination that the North got up the
Rebellion TO strike at Slavery and to
" DesOlate the South as Ben Wade
said they must. What other christian
project have they in view-wbat other
wrong viii they rerpetrate and call it
