since has proved that his presence in the Cabinet
would have been very uncomfortable, either to
himself or to his associates. lie could not have
remained in it long. The same thing could have
been said, and privately said of the late SEN

Cabinet. This obstacle was plainly stated to the
Senator; he yielded to its strength, Rnd JAcoR

THE VETO.

As anticipated BY all true lovers Of the T.
MON, and as was consistent with the statesman
Ike course Of the President since his accession
to Office, 9 Veto Of the bill to amend the "act to
establish bureau for thereliefof freedmen and
refugees" &c, was sent to the Senate on Mon
day last, and created no little sensation.
The National IntelEgcncer truly says
"Oue Of the gravess measures which ever pass
ed both Houses of Congress has been vetoed by
the President Of the United States, in mes
sage so sober, so dispassionatc, so persuasive,
and so powerful, that only person Of singular
hardihood could dissent from its positions until
after the most conscientious, patient andserious
reflection. " State paper could be more con-
elusive in argument upon the premises assum-
FL"
The Chronicle Forney's paper is out upon
she President, and, viper-like, Kisses what it
dare not speak out in plain terms, the charge
Of treason
We regret that this admirable State paper
comes too late for our present number.

Levelling.

The negro Fred Douglas has lately been al
lowed to lecture in one Of the Presbyterian
Churches in Washington, in spite Of the remon-
STRANGE Of twelve of the elders and trustees of
the Church. He was introduced to the mixed
audience, white and black, by Chief Justice
Chase, candidate for the Presidency, and
cheered, especially when he made an impudent
allusion to the President, and urged the exclu-
sion Of the Southern States from representation
in Congress until they allowed the negroes to
vote-in other words, until they gave up three
or four Of these States to negro rulel
Fred was not quite so outspoken in his abuse
of the President in Washington as he was in a
speech at Philadelphia just before the occasion
Of his impertinent colloquy with the President.
The National hteHigcRcer gives the following
extract from the Philadelphia speech:
The crime Of crimes which'now threatens
this nation is not one that kills the body. but
one that murders thSSoul Of the nation. 1t is
one that strikes at the national honor 1t is
one that must bring upon the nation the gath
cred wrath Of God and man. In Washington
the crime Of crimes which overhangS Us and
threatens us is nothing less than the base, the
wanton betrayal Of this Republic by the very
man-[cheersl-by the very man in whom
this generous nation has con6ded the care OF
its honor; the base and wanton surrender Of
all the efforts Of this terrible war back again
into the hands Of the very men who, with broad
blades and bloody hands, have sought to de-
stroy the nation. LCheers.l
Surely President johnson had never seen
this impudeut passage of the Philadelphia
speech else he never would have admitted the
Chief Just IS protege into his pre&nc,.

CONGRESS.

The President Sustained By the Senate
On Tuesday, Senator Wade Of Ohio intro
duced a resolution for an amendment of the
Constitution so as to render the President in
eligible for reelection, and made a violent
speech on the occasion, almost venturing to
call President johnson a traitor. His venom
was too copious, aud failed even to win applause
from bis radical friends.
Mr. Davis, Of Kentucky, replied in support.
Of the veto
Mr.. Wiley read from former speech, giving
bis objections to the bill, and stated that he
would again be compelled to vote against it.
His objections were against the sixth section
lie did not, however, agree with all the opin-
ions Of the President
The question was then taken, and resulted
as follows :-Yeas-SO, Nays-1S.
The Chair stated that two thirds Of the Sena-
tors not having voted in the affirmative, the
bill was lost.
In the House, on Tuesday, Mr. Stevens, Of
Pa, from the joint committee on reconstruction,
reported the following concurrent resolution:
Rssolrsd By the House Of Representatives,
(the Senate eoncurring,) That in order to close
agitation upon a question which seems likely to
disturb the action Of the government, as well
as 10 quiet the uncertainty which exists in the
minds Of the people Of the eleven States which
have been declared in Instruction, no Senator
or representative shall be admitted into either
branch of Congress from any Of the said States
until Congress shall have declared such State
entitled to such representation.
After much fllibustering at a late hour
vote was taken, and the resolution adopted by

man of the committee to prepare pastoral adj

which was adopted explaining the course Of the
conference in separating from the NJ. Z. Church
and, uniting with.the Church South; setting
forth that by remaining with the Church North
they would save everything but their honor
aud by going to the Church South save nothing
except that The report deprecates the action
of the Church North in introducing politics into
its discipline, and its action in turning them
out of their places of worship and forcing
them, with the assistance of government SOL
diers, to the fields and woods to hold their SER
vice. They now ask the people simply to re-
ceive them as ministers of the Gospel.
