VETO. NUMBER TWO.

We publish TO day, tho veto message
of President Johnson, on tho civil
rights bill, brief statement Of tho
provisions Of which wo published a few
weeks since. Our readers are compe,
tent to form their own conclusions as
to the suficiency Of tho reasons assign,
cd by the President for his course in
returning the bill with his objections.
Any infringement oftho provisions Of
tho Constitution, doubtless, affords
complete justification Of tho President
in Withholding his assent from a law
and even makes IL his duty TO with.
hold such assent. While we recognize
the necessity for some national law to
secure tho material ends aimed at in
the vetoed bill, we are of tho opinion
that this measure goes TO tho very verge
of constitutional power as vested In
Congress, If 1t docs not ovorleap it.

We believe that Congress may right

cure the enjoyment oftheir equal rights
in tho several States. We think that

been framed which would receive tho
approval of tho President. But an In

A SOUTHERN DE N OCRAT ON THE
GERMAN POPULATION.
"ersa.y, sw,ll,ns csrman.w


Soon after tho Presidents 22d of
February speech, the Germans in Chi
cago held a meeting, and adopted res.
olutions prdnouncing the speech to bo
departure from the dignity. Of the
chief magistracy of the Nation. This
reused the iro Of the Democratic press
North and South, wherever it was en- :
gagged in indorsing the President, and
wherever the German population was
Republican, as il is in all the impor-
tant cities of the Union, except Colum-
bus.
The Richmond Examiner was re-

the Government. 1t naturally feels q
little sore Oh this account, and while it
dare not 60 fat.footed against the
Government it let's no opportunity
slip for giving q dig at the party in
power.
This meeting Of the patriotic Ger
mans Of Chicago was eagerly seized
upon, and made the pretext for q most
vilainous attack upon the German
population, Tho following elegant
extract" will show tho nature Of this
attack by a traitorous Democratic
newspaper on loyal citizens:

phere of Chicago which speedily con-

are devout believers in FREQ press
and free speech. But when unAedged
foreigners, especially Teutons, lecture
the highest official in our government
on good behavior and good manners,
we feel like making the quarrel our
own. We will admit that these indig-
nant Germans are good judges Of sdur

Now, what right has this unpardon.

to these fellows that they are not ex'
actly the sort of men TO criticise loyal
mon who have borne arms in defense
Of their adopted country.
With the first cry Of war, when this
government was attacked by armed
traitors, whole regiments of loyal
German citizens took up their arms,
never to lay them down again until
death or victory should release them

lor take orders for goods, etc. Ana,
gent who solicils orders for trees, etc,
should have license as Commercial
Broker. The mere deliveryUf trees by

would not subject the agent to an ad-
diLional license as o Dealer. But ifhe
receives the trees at various points
and carries them to the purchasers, re-
ceiving the money for them at the
same time, he becomes a Peddler, and
should have license as such.
If however, he receives the money at

not render him liable to such license.

The business of q Produce Broker in

restriction becomes necessary from the
fact thatifthe dealer were allowed to
sell in such quantity to more than one
person, it would be difficult to fix a
limit tothe number of such sales re-
