The Presidents Grounds of Veto.

Government, the President sums up as follows ::
Il cannot but add another grave objection
The Constitution mperatiyely declares that each
State shall be represented in Congress and the
original Freedmens bill may necessarily be
passed in the absence of the State chiefly Effected
because the people certainly engaged in re-
belliOn. Now the case is changed. The States
are attending Congress by their Representatives
soliciting their constitutional rights. The very
fact that the reports and are made against
the good disposition Of the Southern people is
the additional reason why they should have
/ representatives of their own to explain their con-
dtion and reply to the accusations, and assist
by local knowledge in perfecting such measures
Immediately affecting themselves. | would not
Interfere with the unquestonable right of Con-
gress TO judge each House for itself the qualii-
cations of its own members, but that authority
cannot be construed as including a right to shut
out in time OF peace any State from representa-
ton
At present all the people of the eleven States
are excluded: those who were the most faithful
during the war not less than others. The State
OF Tennessee, for instance. whose authorities
were engaged in rebellion, was restored to their
constitutional relations by the patriotism and
energy of her injured and betrayed people and
lie knows no reason why Tennessee should not
fully enjoy all her constitutional relations to the
United States. The President stands toward the
country in different attitude from every mem
Der of Congress who is chosen from a single dis
trict. The President is chosen by the pcople of
all the States. Eleven states not represented,
and il would seem to be his duty to present their
just claim TO Congress, The indefinite perma-
nant exclusion of every part the country from
representation must he attended by spirit Of
disgust and complaint 1t is unwise and danger

Of these States as far as depends on their own
action, have already bceu fully restored and are

Reasoning from the constitution itself and from
the actual situation of the country, feel bound

interests, all classes viii, with the aid of the

expectation unhappilv fail. which do not antic

ExrRrsSIoNs FROM the ftAsrn#s PRnss.-From
the editorial comments Of the press of the East
on the President veto, We select TIE following
The Chicago Tri5pnc iUnion) says :-'' Since
the cloaine scenes Of the ana the sad horror
Of the assassination. 10 event has created such
profound sensation as the formal act by which
the President has severed himself from the loyal
paltv and united with It's enemies, North and
South before the Union IS get restored or the
fully ended The Presidents veto Will at least
have one good effect namely. IN aiIording con-
elusive proof to doubling souls Of Johnson re-
creaucv TO the great cause for which our people
laid down their lives and their property, aud
yncing our citizens. by Irresistible logic of the
most ugly fact of the backsliding Of their Chief
Magistrate.
Tie Chicago Rspu5eicaa Union) says -. The
country Will learn with amazement that the Pres
dent has vetoed An Act whose title might justly
have been an Act to enforce the Bill of Rights
ca that issue he appeals to the people from the
decision OF Congress. and no doubt Congress
VIII gladly and unhcsitatingly accept the chal-
enge, and the people viii sustain them
r~gAe chicago Tines (Copperhcad) says -. This
veto assuras~eAe country that the Radicals are
mpoteut against the President. Good men may
breathe freer. The country has been saved
great calamity, and is safe against similar calam
tiles in future. It has been a sublime triumph
Of ii glt over wrong.
The Washington Chronicle Union says:-
-The veto is cause for universal solcitude
The surrender of Lee was only the beginning of
the rebellion. The defeated traitors threaten
again to become triumphant and release the
Dictator even from his stronghold at Fortress
Monroe.
The New York Tribune (Union) ys:-"We
deeply regret the veto, and think the President
will live to regret it even more deeply
The New York World (Coppcrhead) says
.President johnson has nobly sustained his
character for steadiness Of purpose and political
courage"
The New York TmGs Johusonan) says
- The veto implies no essential difference of
opinion between the Executive and the ma jortY
in Congress on the primary object of the bill.
He seeks to reach the end aimed at by others
an1 by what lie deems less radical agencies.
NoIsY Boys--The editor Of the Cleveland
Hera1d, who was probably himself goodb
takes up the cudgcl in defence of noisy boys as
follows Noise is safety valve, physically and
morally &4isy boys seldom are the bad boys
Of village the quiet, demure, reticent still
bows. are these who sneak around dark corners.
and slip into the back rooms of the village NUS
ance-the grocery; who rob melon patches, ilit
rates off the hinges. shave horses tails, and. on
moonlight nights trip good people up by rope
placed across the walk. Il noisy boy, usually,
is frank bov: overhowing with animal spirits
ready to hop skip-and-jump, play gould, tag,
snap-the-whip or leap frog. But such boy IS
not dogging in and out OF back alleys such
boy does not creep out OF MS cnaihoer "ihuoW
to the kitchen roof thence to the ground for
night expedition, after the rest OF the family are
asleep.
Noise is not good " for headaches; noise
disturbs weak nerves. but noise steals nothing,
noisetsets no barns FIRE, noise never CANDLES;
therefore we say, if boys do nothing worse than
make a noise for humanity sake do not conGne
them for that.
