Tn. Pres. on the Veto.

IL thereon. The last desperate hope
ne political salvation, remaining TO the
latter day Democracy, Is that that party
NAV latter and coax the President,
whom they were. not long ago scnrril-
opsly abusing as vulgar aud boorish
tailor and deuouncing because of his
ateadrast loyalty, into DESERVING the
Marty that elected him, and becoming
,sa,,. loader and standard bearer. The
democratic press, therefore, from the
New York World to the Albany Argus
and New York News, overfows with
rplsome adultations of the President for
his veto. The guiding principle, (f it
can be called principle,) of this party
has been one OF opposition to freedom
and the Union, and President Johnson
must prove recreaut to his whole past
life If he allows himself to fall into
their hands.
The Republican papers diner as to the
necessity of the Freedmen's Bureau bill,
in the shape in which 1t was passed by
Congress, and the effect OF the veto.
There are different impressions as to
the actual condition Of the South, and
the circumstances under which the Re.
nubican party is called to act are un-
precedented and perplexing TQat
there should be a variety of opinions as
to particular measures is not therefore
arrange. But there is no difference as to
the end sought. All agree as to that,
and that should keep the party united,
while a wholesome latitude of discus
aion and action as to specific measures
IA allowed IL Is only necessary that all
should exhibit such moderation pru-
dence and liberation a. the grave inter
ests at stake demand,
The New York Times says
In no essential point is the president
at variance either with the majority in
Congress OF with the COuntry-so far
A. the claims OF the freedmen are con
cerned. He seeks to reach the end aimed
II the vetoed bill by other, and-what
he dlems-lCs~ radical agencies. 1t
will therefore, be for Congress and the
country to weigh carefully the object
.0us offered and at least to respect, If
thpv cannot assent, to the reasoD on
which the executive veto il based.
The Tribune thinks;
Mr.. Johnson has made grave mis-
take. He has relieved those who ee''ec-
ted HIN of great responsibility by
taking it on his own shoulders. Here
after, whatever wrongs may be inflicted
upon or indignites suffered by the south
ern blacks will be charged to the Pres
ideut, who has left them naked to their
enemies. Time will show that he has
thereby preCluded true and speedy
restoration Of the South, and inflicted
more lasting misery on her whites than
on her Blacks
The New York Evening Post says ;
The President states his objections
\ to the new frcedman's bureau bill with
so much dignity, and at the same time
with so much force of conviction, that
they will command, we trust, the care
/ full consideration of Congress. These

consideration may preserve whatever
is valuable in the new bill and yet avoid
She serious and indeed fatal objections
which we are glad the President has
had the sagacity and tirmuess to eX-
pose. But above all things, it shonld
be careful not to cmbarras and clog the

constitutional acts, made nomiuall5 in
