son sent to the Senate wonderful document, in
shape of a message vetoing the Freedmen Blu
reau bill. Ip pursuing this course, he hardly

evident that he has 0een maneuvering to gain
the leadership of thai party for long time,
and now, having achieved ms purpose, he has
basely betrayed the party placing him in power,
has joined himself to the cause Of ignorance,
cruelty, tyranny and aristocTacy, even while

believed that the President would 90 out OF his
way to enuneate principles, which II carried
out would revolutionize our whole system OF
government, or To dictate to Congress in such
an autocratic spirit. In the Senate which
