federal and state laws, no scch system an
that contemplated by the deteile ofathis bill
has ever before been proposed CT adopted,
They establish. for the security Of the col
ored race, safeguards which 70 infinitely
beyond any that the general government
has ever provided for the white race. In
fact, tho distinction of the race and colot is,
by the bill, made to operate in favor OF the
colored and against the white race: It IN
terferes with the municipal legislation Of
the states, with the relations existing ex.
clusively between state and its citizens,
or between inhabitants Of the same state:
an absorption and assumption Of power by
the general government which, it acquies-
ccd in, must sap and destroy our fedefa~
tive system of limited powers, and break
down the barriers which preserve the rights
of the states. -.
1t is another step or rather stride to*stds
Capitalization, and the concentration Of sA
legislative powers in the national govera-
ment. The tendency of the bill must be to
reuscitate the spirit Of rebellion and to ar
rest the progress of those influences which
are more closely drawing around the states
the bonds Of union and peace .,s '.,.
Mr.. Lincoln, in his proclamation Of Jan
/, 1868, ordered and declared that all
persons held as slaves within certain states
and parts of states therein designated, were,
and thenceforth should be, free; and furth-
er that the executive government Of the Q.
S., including the military and naval author
tiles thereof, would recognize and maintain
the freedom of such persons. This guar
anty has been rendered obligatory and saa
cred by the amendment Of the constitution
abolishihg slavery throughout the United
States. 1, therefore, fully recognize the
obligation to protect and defend that class
of our people, whenever ard wherever it
shall become necessary, and to the full ex-
tent compatible with the constitution Of
the United States. as .r@2
Entertaining these sentiments, il only
remains for me to say that will cheeriully
cooperate with congress in any measure
that may be necessary for the preserva-
ton Of the civil rights Of freedmen, A
we'll as those Of all o.her classes of persons

, process under equal and inn artial laws, or
confor,nably with the position Of the fed
erai constitution. Inow return the bill TO
the senate, and regret that in considering
the bills and joint resolutions. 10 in mum
ber, which have been thus far submitted
for my approval, I err compelled to with
hold my assent from second measure that
