We endorse both the President and
Congress when right, and neither when
wrong Sunbu1y american.
Every well. But suppose the President
and Congress differ, Gas they do on almost
every important question: which do you
endorse then 2'-Saabury Democrat.
We have no objection to enlighten our
neighbor of the Democrat, still further on
this subject, and as we never fear to express
our opinions without regard to party tactics
no one can Justly charge US, as intimated by
our neighbor of the Gazette, with holding
IN equivocal position on any subject Those
who are trained to think their party can do
no wrong, may affect to believe that our DO
sition is not we'll defined, whist those who
are untrameled viii readily understand us.
Congress and the President do differ on
some important points, but it don't necessa-
rily follow that the President is all wrong,
or that Congress is. Both are liable to err
and both have erred. Many of the most
prominent Union members of Congress, who
oppose the Presidents policy in some things,
admit that he is right in others. This is
precisely our own case. Take for instance.
the Presidents views in regard to negro suf-
frage. We believe, and we think four-irths
of the Union party believe with the Presi.
dent, that this question should be decided
by the States themselves. In this respect,
at least, We think our position much less
equivocal than that of our neighbor of the
Gazette and certainly less liable to censure.
But the Gazette says our reply to Mr.. Pur-
dy is 'rather disingenuous, and thinks he
ought not to Submit to the publication of
the Auditors Report and Treasurers Sales
IL the columns of the AMERICAS" We
can't exactly see what Mr.. Purdy has to do
with this matter, especially asit cannot affect
his interests in the least. Now, our neigh
Dor of the Gasette must excuse us when we
say thatif he is not, himself, 'disingenuous,
in referring to this matter, in connection
with these advertisements, lie might have
been at least more explicit in stating what
he did mean.

DAN FRANCISCO, May q, 1866.
A special messenger arrived yesterday at
Los Angeles, bringing dispatch from the
commander of Fort Grant to Gen. Mason.
announcing that Fort Goodwin. Arizona
had been taken BY 1000 Indians. and the
garrison, numbering 1874 men massacred,
with one exception, and the fort burned.
The man who escaped was out hunting at
:he time and witnessed the commotion from
distance. lie saw the fort burning, and
heard hrlng OF guns during the fight, which
lasted nearly an hour. 1t is supposed the
Indians gained admission into the fort under
the pretext Of entering into treaty of peace,

~. THE vnro OF THE COLORADO BILL

fS5 The VETO OF THE COLORADO BILL
The President sent to the Senate on Tues
day last, message containing his objections
10 the bill for the admission of Colorado
into the Union as State. This announce
ment created some little surprise, as rumor
just previously prevailed that the bill had
been approved In the afternoon an effort
was made to proceed with the consideration
of the message, but the majority preferred
to take an early start with it next day. 1t
was privately pcrused by several Senators,
who soy that it takes the ground that the
erection of Colorado as a state is at present
unnecessary for the welfare of the people
nor is it clearly established that the majori-
ty desire or are prepared for such change.
The population is insufficient, and has di-
minishe6 rather than increased. In addition
to these and other reasons, the President
says caution should be exercised in the ad-
mission of new States, especially as eleven
of the States are now withou. representa-.
tion, and all should be consulted in deciding
who shall become members of the Union.
