and so perilous q stride towards the overt Irowing OF
the rights OF the states of this Union, and the conS
tutiona liberties of ITS citizens, has not been taken
ioI many day.
THE veto message of Preljent JOHNSON the
faithful warnings OF the Democraio press through
out the country, and the conclusive arguments OF
the JoHNsoNs. the GUTHRIEs, and the HEN.
DRIoKsRs of the Senate, have demonstrated the
ut uncOnstutioh OF the Civil RIGHTS bill IN
all its essential parts and pointed out the danger
Gus consolidation OF power in the Federal Govern
ment which It proposes to make at the expense of
States. In the article which follows this we nave
cited the great authority of JEFFERSON to the
irresistible conclusion IL is under the shield of his
example, too, That we pronounce the thlrtY-three
OVerrideTs of the veto revOluh onists.
"lt remains now to see whether the revolutionary
party can command atNO-thirds vote in the lower
House of the hump CONGRESS, over which the strong

thircs vote whenever it shOud be needed. They
elected BALDWIN, OF Michigan whose con les ant,
even would lot pretend to say he had maj j)rIty OF
the votes OF his dis riot. They ejocted VOORHEES, of
Indiana, by an equally open ana shameless fraud.
Yesterday they elected JAMES BROOKS, OF thus city,
from the scat TO which he as fairly eec ed as any
member that ever sat in either House. The Commit.
tee on Elections has been nothing but u committee
Tor increasing the radical majority 1t has been the
abjectest instrument of partisan fraud, tramplng
upon nothing more Wantonly than its own prece-
donts ana laws
'Hhe conduct of the Senate in eiecting STOCKTON
has been in keeping We had hoped that, IN spite Of
that bare-faced wrong, the veto might vet be sus-
tanned, but that hope is dashed.
1--WE defer till another dav further comments upon
the action OF the Senate tnot having received he

sorrow which President JOHNSON must himself now
share only Ill his attention the fact that had he

RILL's pair wou never have been broken, and
(Senator DIXON's Illness not being counted on) the
contest TO override the veto would never have been

The Herald, shrewdly supporting the Presi-
dent, because it pays just now, is satisfied
with general notice OF the events of yester-
day in the Senate, as follows:-
rhe Senate yesterday passed the Civil Rights bill
fifteen. The bill originally passed the Senate on
February 2, by vote of tnrtythroe to twelve, five
memt ers beng absent It passed the House of Re-
presentatlves on March 13 the vote being one hun
dred and even in favor TO thirty eight against mot
quite two thirdsL with thirty-four members not
voting Ol the five Senators not voting on the
original bill, VIZ :-CREswELL, DooLITTLE GRIMES,
JOHNSON and WRIGHT-Messrs. DooLITTLB, JOHN
SON and WRIGHT voted ior sustaining the Presi-
dent, WIN o hessrs CREswELL and GRIMAs cast
their votes for the bill. The conservatives lost the
vote of STOCKTON, while they gained that of LANE
OF Kansas, who supported the bill originally.
"Mr. EDMUNDs, the new senator from Vermont,
voted tor the Dill. Mr.. DIXON the only member
of the Senate not voting. Senator MORGAN, who
cast his vote in favor of the Freedmens Bureau bill,
and afterwards voted 10 sustain the Presidents veto,
voted for the bill, as he did originally. The New
1ork State senate on Wednesday last passed
luton expressing disappointment and regret at the
veto OF this bill by the President
"Ihere great deal of excitement in the
Senate dmiDg the discussion preceding the passage
of the BILL the galleries be densely fl led and the
floor occupied bv members of the House of Repre-.
sentatives and other privileged persons On the re-
suit OF the vote being announced much applause
followed the friends OF the measure being especially
jubilant."
