The Veto Message.

The President has vetoed The bill pass
ed BY Congress, amending the act es-
tablishing the Freedman's Bureau, and
enlarging its powets.
An attempt to pass the bill over tho
veto. was successful ID the House, but
failed in the Senate, the Soet there being
80 for to Is again st.
1t is understood that the veto was sus-
tanned by majority of the Cabinet, but
it is regretted by large majority of
the Union party, and by very many dem
ocrats it will be regarded as sn evidence
of an antagonism between the President
and the party which placed him ia pow
er.
We have no fear that President John
sons administration will be 7ylsrized,
or that he will prove himself to be any
other than che honest, true hearted brave
man he is reported to be.
His purposes and aims are identical
with those of the Union party-his meth
cd of reaching the end is at variance
with that proposed by the majority of that
party. Mr.. Johnson's main ground Of diff
ference with the Union majority in Con-
gress is has greater faith iA the loyalty
ofMe Southern people. Every true I'm.
ion man hopes that the presidents esti-
mate is correct, even though the evidence
appears to him against it.
1t will be well to have patience, and
not rashly accuse the President Of inf
deity to his party and the interests Of
Freedom. The history of the four years
past should have taught us moderation
in judgment. President LINCOLN, with
every instinct of his soul true to freedom
and justice, was often thought by his
party to be painfully and almost crimmaly
slow inthe use of his great p over, yet
ethe result showed that what seemed to
us temrorizing and weak, was the great
est strength and the highest wisdom.
We should remember that it is the
very nature of power to mako knaves
and fools hasty and arrogant, but wise,
honest men, thoughtful, careful, conser
vaiive. Andy Johnson, President oil
the United States, is, of necessity, differ.
cnt man from Andy Johnson, the bold,
defiant Senator from Tennessee. He
has undergone that change which great
responsibility works in every honest, wise
man.
We have undoubting faith in the ideas
and principles of the Union Party, and
in the integrity and patriotism of Pres.
ident JOHNSON, and we believe bis pres.
ent seeming antagonism TO that party,
will be found to be but transient diver.
gence of opinion. and not full sepera-
ton ofpolicy and purpose.

MADISON. Feb. 10, 1866.


Ed JOURNAL THE past week has been one
of some little interest in the Legislature re-
lating principally to resolutions denouncing
railroad and steamboat monopolies.
The most important resolutions were those
introduced by Mr.. Wilson of Monroe County,
condeming the cxtortionate charges, practiced
by nonopolies for the transportation Of pas
sengers, and freights. ana asking the Legisla-
ture to pass such laws as shall effsctually
break down these powerful corporations.
which are now a curse instead of a blessing to
the people.
To the resolutions of Mr. Wilson. Mr.. Had
lev Of Milwaukee, the apoligist of the rail-
roads, and steamboat politician. and besl.pa,-
limentarian, in the Assembly, at once saw
travagant in expression, and so offered SUBJ
slit ute modifying the origional resolutions.
and the division line is so finely drawn that
they can be read and "nobody is hurt" The
result upon IT, vote was the ad optien of the
resolutions introduced by Mr.. Wilson. as
amended by Mr.. Hadley. by vote of SO to
Is. The Kilborn City dam question still re-
mains unsettled. and the lobbying continues,
both for the bill and against;t / ana of the
impression that for the past week the pros
gained ground. and are little ahead Of The
cons. but legislation. like ma'rimony, is fa--
fully uncertain. and no one is positively salts
fed as to the result unit: the pape Is are signed,
scaled and delivered, and you hold them in
your hand.
PETITIONS.
Our representative Mr. Copp, has introduced
the following petitions One ofi53 citizens
Of the st. Croix Valley. to memoralize Con-
gress for the improvement of the rapids of The
Mississippi river. A petition of so citizens
from st. Creix County, against monopolies
in the State. A bill red ucing the charges of
freights on railroads. A potion of citizens.
of prescott. for tho repeal of the City charter
regulating licences, also one against it.
THE GOVERNORS VETO.
On Tuesday message was received bv the
Assembly from the Governor, vetsing two
bills authorizing minors 10 convey real es-
tate. He thought special legislation uI.w.se
and inexpedient. and this class of legislation
positively inexpedicnt.
The Judiciary Committee in the Assembly
have reported back the hill To establish the
eight hsur system in this State, and SO amend
cd it that it is to apply only to the city of
Milwaukee.

The DulIness Of Trade.


The Chicago Times in its Commercial
columns is laboring to prove that the
present dizziness of trade in this city and
elsewhere throughout the country is en-
tirely owing to the tariff on foreign inn
ports, which protects American manu-
facturers against ruinous European com
petition, and endeavors to convert our
mercantile community into free-trade.
ism by its illogical and superficial theo.
ries and statements.
The tariff on imports has about as
much to do with the present stagnation
Ia the trade of Chicago as has the man
in the moon, and the Times might ga
well undertake 10 prove that the lunar
luminsry was made out of green cheese
as to try to convince intelligent mer.
chants of the correctness of its pet the
DRY. .-r~
The existing inactivity of trade is
due chiefly to the fact that everybody is
expecting prices to decline ere long, and
everybody is consequently delaying pur-
chases that are not absolutely necessary
until the expected general decline shall
take place. Aud another explanation
may be found in the inevitable law of
reactions. During the past FIVE years of
war our business men have been ex-
tremely busy and prosperous, but the
close of the war which caused this &C.
tiyity in trade now causes reaction in
the other direction. While the war
lasted, almost everybody was making
money; but now that the war is closed,
everybody is anticipating 'hard times,
and a general tightening up of the
purse strings is the effect We trust
that the anticipated "hard times" will
not come-and If they do not come be-

General Grant has deserved the an
athemas of the Copperheads more than
once by his efforts to suppress the re-
bellion. He has recently committed an
ofense that most Of that party will pro-
nounce objectionable. He has sup
pressed the Richmond Examiner. It's
editor, Il. Rives Pollard, at once hasten-
ed to Washington TO lay his complaint
before the President, but was denied ad-
mittance. He then called on General
Grant. Pollard says the General in
formed him that he could get no per.
mission to resume his papef from him
(Grant), that it was disIoyaI, and if he
had power he would suppress others,
including the Chi cago Times, Cincinnati
Enquirer and New York News.
PolIard's testimony seems to confirm
the New York Herald's statement. The
following Circular Letter to the com
manders of military departments, was
issued on the 18th, by General Grant:
HEAD-QUARTERs ARMY OF THE u. s.,
WASHINGTON, February IL, 1866 I
You will please send to these Head
quarters as soon as practicable, and
from time to time hereafter, such copies
of newspapers published in your depart

hostile TO the Government in any of its
branches, and state whether such paper
is habituaI in its utterances of such sem
timents. The persistent publication
calculated to keep up hostility of feel
ing between the people of different Sec
