MIR. LINooLN AND coNeanss.

The effort to show that President Lincoln
would have denounced the Union maiorities
in Congress, and would have pursued the
course of his successor, was powerfully met
and rebuked by Hon. Leonard Myers, of
Pennsylvania, in his speech of Friday last,
as follows:-
In order TO foster loyalty, in order to end
the rebellion by lifting up the hands of those
who had strayed and were repentant rather
than by the dread wager of battle, Mr.. Lin
coin, on December s, 1868, issued his am.
nesty proclamation, promising that when
onetenth of the number who voted for
President in 1860 should in any State re-es-
tablish republican government, it should
be recognized as the true government of the
State; and, not directing any election of
members of Congress, lie added:
ITO avoid misunderstanding,
"it may be proper TO further say that wheth-
er members sent to Congress from any State
Shall be admitted to seats constitutionally,
rests exclusively 'oiM tie respectiee Houses
and not to any ertent ioith tie EreeutiUe.'' -
More than this, when the war was ended,
in his last public speech, referring to the

reconstructed Rebel, demanding admission
to Congress Then he would have been an
object of sympathy with the very large and
more Or less influential party which regarded
with such admiration the ridiculous career
OF himself and his rum-drinking, tobacco
chewing, bond-stealing, hotel-burning, poi
SON disseminating, murder plotting com
rades. He might even have been the object
OF public meetings of sympathy-w wo
cannot doubt that resolutions of coincidence
would have been passed in his behalf by
Democratic Legislatures, but for the uniortu
nate tact that, owing TO u singular iatuity of
the Northern mind, there are no Democratic
Legislatures in existence at present But as
vagabond refugee from anxious taiors and
unfortunate wine merchants and disconso-
late landlords-as the occupant OF a debtors
cell, and the writer of pleading epistles for
sympathy-the author of the great Ostend
manifesto, and bright particular star of the
Buchanan galaxy, becomes very worthless
fellow, and we question much whether even
his recent Copperhcad associates will care to
expend their ammunition upon him. ALBANY

tain in Louisiana, he thus alluded to the
views above expressed, applying them, then
and there, to that State:
"And also in the proclamation distinctly
protested that the ErecUtige claimed 70 r9ht
10 san nheR or rhether members should be dd-

This plan was in advance submitted to the
then Cabinet, and as distinctly approved by
every member of it. 4"
Mr. Lincoln's views, it will thus be seen,
were precisely those now held by Congress,
and tho following paragraph from the Senate
judiciary report of February Is, 1865, accom-
panying the Joint resolution relating to the
credentials of members claiming seats from
Louisiana, report and resolution which
gave general satisfaction, denotes how fully
these opinions governed the last Congress:
"The persons in possession of the local
authorities of Louisiana having rebelled

be in a state of insurrection, in pursuance OF

THE VETO OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS
bill.

We give to-day, in full, the Presidents
Veto of the Civll Rights Bill. The bill
passed both Houses OF Congress by enormous
majorities In the House of Representatives
the vote was Ill to 3s, in the Senate 80 to
l2, but Andrew Johnson, in the plenltude of
his superior wisdom has thought proper 10
set his judgment up as against the multi
tude, and pcremptorily says no, the bill
shall not become law. This is the man
whom the Conservative" Republicans are
willing to daily with, in the fond hope that
he will yet prove true to the principles upon
which they fought him into office in Novem-
ber, 1864. They seem to forget that he has
already betrayed them and turned traitor to
his own professions, until he is now tho idol
OF the rebels of the South, and the wor-
shipped hero of the Copperheads of the
North, We rejoice that the firm, true,
staunch, working Union men of Delaware
desplse and execrate his treachery, and re.
pudiaie his policy, Not solitQry Federal

STNGuLAR INCIDENT CONNECTED WITH A
FUNERAL.-In Jersey City last week, sin
gular incident occurred in connection with a
funeral A resident OF the city having died,
a young lady aged about sixteen years,
friend Of the family, attended the funeral,
and being induced against her will to view
the body, imagined that she saw the eyes
move, and with wild shrek fell to the floor
in fit. She remained unconscious for sew
eal hours, and three physicians were called
in, whose united efforts were unable to re-
stcis Ter. The convulsions finally ceased,
aud the girl was subsequently aroused from
her comatose state, but has since been labor
ing under an alteration Of mind, which is to
be hoped may only prove temporary.

of our readers to the local column in which
Mr., j. r. Heald gives notice that he will
sell tomorrow afternoon, on the premi-
ses, a Stone Mansion House, Stone Barn,
Spring House, Carriage House, and other
out-buildings, quantity of Stone by the
perch, and other building material and
fencing, and thirty desirable Home
Building Lots. These lots are located ada
cent TO McDowellyille, on Union Avenue.
and on Lincoln, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh

sale upon the attention of mechanics who
desire to secure lot whereon to erect a
home, and to capitalists who wish 10 invest
their money to good advantage. There has
been for some years past great scarcity of
houses in Wilmington, and at the last mov-
ing day it is estimated that there were two
hundred families without homes. An op-
portunity is here offered to secure lots in
