Greeley is raving mad over the veto lie
says:
"Letus thank Mr.. Johnson that his veto is

The New York World says:
"The veto is Il conclusive demonstration OF
what was apparent before, that the conflict
between the President and Congress admits OF
neither compromise nor RECOMMENDATION, ahu
that the controversy can be decided only by an
appeal TO their common superlors, the soFe-
reign people"
The New York Hcrah, which advised the
President to sign the bill, turns sommer-
sault, and sustains the veto

devices for overriding the reserved riShts OF

tribunals ever attempted i'll Congress. we
had supposed this bill, in q new shape, Il sort

but, under the searching analysis OF Andre"
Johnson, it appears Il thousaho tlines moiSo

tutional denominations from beginning TO END.

The Baltimore Su,, has the abest article we
have seen upon the veto. We give short eH-
tract:
"In detail the President analyses every sec
ton of the bill, and paints some hldeous con
stitutional defOrmity in every one OF us pro-
visions. Those measures which have hereto
fore encountered constitutional obJecuon nave
ordinarily been found repugnant 10 some SIN
gle requirement OF the tundtnenta TAI INV, ous
the bill in question seems 10 have been framed
with q special purpose 10 embody i'll itself as
many offences against rightas the Ingenuity OF
man could throw together IN one law. 1ts
title, strange to say, is An act to protect all
persons in the United States in their civil
rights, and furnish the means OF their ymdlca-
ton while every section in 1T contains pro
visions which violate the rights OF all orders
of society, and war against those guarantees
of municipal authority, of legislative, eXecu-
tive, and judicial independence OF State DILL
GERS which was essential to the preservation
of even the shadow of freedom, ANA without
which the very name of Il State would be Il
mockery in our political system.
"The cardinal vice OF the bill is that it throws
down all distinction between the Internal con
Germs and the external relations of the seve-
raj States 1t passes directly TO the resuia-
ton of the minutest relations OF personal AZ
fairs, asserting dominion over contracts suits,
parties, evidence, the laws OF inheritance, pur-
chase, sale, and occupancy of real and per-
sonal property, and all laws affecting the per
sonal security of individuals. 1t is no answer
to the objection to state that II processes TO do
