crossed from Buffalo last night to

and are spreading themselves over
the country. L is reported that a
large body is marching upon Port

be led by Gen Sweeny, and is IN,
doubtedly organized By the Roberts

TILE VETO

On the 10th inst, Andrew johnson
sent to the House Of Representatives, in
which body the new treednen's bureau
bill originated, message vetoiug the
bill just passed. The bill in question
was framed some time ago, in the hope
that 1t might meet the Presidents ap,
pr"val, but his acts each day diminished
the hope that he would approve 30 nec
essary measure, until at last ho has
again shown his colors. The message
in question is not very long, but it means
much. We SEQ that the writer is op-
posed in every way to advancing the
condition Of the colored population Of
the South. With this idea he voted tho
bill oflaat winter. The present message
is but little moro than q reflex OF the old
one, and might have served as Ito orig
inal draft. One or two new principles
arc added. but they are more specous
than renl. Such bill he thinks can
only be passed under the war power
and in the same breath ho says that thero
10 no necessity for this kind oflegslation,

will put in form the magnificent and
lofty dreams Of the American continen>
;al mind, and fulfil in the future the
highest efforts of the present and the
past, 1t is not the vague delusion that
the rights of the States need doctoring.
The American theory eliminates proper
!y in the sacredness of the rights of indi-
viduals--of each single individual. That
after all, IS what Washington carved
out with the sword. and Jefferson,
flteriug it through his subtle and free
mind, drew up and put on record with
the pen.
1t is well known that in The political
and legal history of the United States,
the only departures or compromises of
the kind alluded to have been those in
the interests ofslavery, and of its mani>
fold incidents. | do rot, of course,
propose to go over the thousand times
told tale of the rast sixty years. To
day, slavery, as a confessed legality. is,
az we all know, no more But some
Of the most important ofits incidents or
compromises still remaln--blo,s, and
incongruitles upon this law. VIVA;
equitable leason can be given why these
INCIDENTS also should not be erased
Time was tha: when the brains were cut
the man would die; but now we see the
limbs demanding to live and move, as if
the nervous center still existed.
The persistent attempt to keep in the
Constitution the rule of an unequal and
uniir basis of representation is perllops
to the future peace of the country, and
will surely cause chatting sense Of lnjus>
ticc as long as it is continued.
Furthermore, the high mission of the
Union party, as avowed in the Baltimore
Convention, to "ex,irpate slavery"
includes tho removal Of all the hateful
and anti popular excrescences engra'ted
by ttat Institution tor ITS own selfish
aggrandizcment upon our free national
laws and poity. That high mission
and obligation cannot be accomplished
until ali which slavery has so engraitod
is cut out; for until then slavery is not
"extirpated."
Earnestly sympathising with the men
who lo"k to law ofequal representation
as the only guaranty both tor popular
rig hts and popular acquiescencc, l would
feel myself out OF place in a party that
favors basis of representation giving
peculiar and unrighteous advantages to
a portion of the body poli,ic, to the
detriment and dissatisfaction Of the
whole
Uniting with you and all good men in
the soul-telt desire thar peace, prosperity,
and that amicabe brotherhood which is
more than any worldly prosperity, may
soon prevail and continue uubrokcn

ANOTHER SOLDIERS ~ CONVENTION.
A few Soldiers" of the Johnsonsian type
managed to get together a few days ago and
adopt set Of resolutions in Washington, Pa.
The editor of the Reporter represents it as an
altogether ludicrous affair." hardly enough
being present to make o respectable ''corpor-
ais guard" Among the resolutions was one
declaring Hester Cymer 'thc highcsutypo of
patriotism" This is not at all strange coming
from tho source it does. They only have q
different Specification placed upon the word
patriotism, it should read the reverse of what
it means. How anv one protesting to be q
SOLDIER can endorse such resolutions is a
complicated mystery. Surely no one calling
himself SOLDIER would uphold him or his
principles, else has the meaning of the term Dc
generated and those who fought for the Union
no right to claim their action in lis behalf q
generous sacrifice. Else is It greater honor
TO have been found in traitor ranks or suS-
servient to the heartless scruplcs of the dis
loyal element which all the gallant defenders
Of our llig scorn to affiliate with. This thing
Of Johnson "Soldier' Conventions has been
shown up" in its true light in this county .as
elsewhere, and 1t would save the Copperheads
much labor If they ou'd cease their efforts
thus to hoodwink the public for fail It must

THr statue Of Washington taken during the
war from Lexington, Va, has been returned.
This is right; but If the principle is carried
out generally, not n few houses in our North
crn country will be without pianos pictures
spoons, &c, &c. - CoppeyhG7d Oryms
This is small affair in Itself but has in It's
train world of hidden meaning. We do not
attempt a Vindication Of those who would
ruhlessly, wo,ittny and without design, or
benefit plunder or lay waste the home of an
enemy, because no real gallant follower of our
flag would be guilty of such an act, but VIC do
object TO the inSjnuation which such words are
likely to castupon the fair fame of our solli rs
as mass It's sly, sncaking way under
mining their character as well as valor, Nor
would it excite surprise if confined to Southern
papers alone, and not be found floating
through the columns of Northern journals -
Th y, however catch up the refrain and are
Gs eager to porpctuate it as the Southcrners
themselves, at the'same time they would make
believe so sweet on them. 1t carries us
back to thos, times, when they openly srtg-
matizcd the TInioA heroes as "Iessian mercc-
nares" waging "war for plua1cr" II one.
Why is the change wrought 81 sudden We
can think of nothing save cowurdice. They
wouldn't feel safe with 50 many returned
veterans among us. When opportunity Offers
and they see no opcn detection awaits them
we find the old spirit oozing out in such para
graphs as the above. Soldiers notice this and
steer clear of men who would promulgatc such
lbcls
