Veto of the Freeduen's Bureau Bill.


Tho National pulse beats weaker to-day
The hearts Of the liberty-loving sons Of the
country beat with stiller pulsation. The
measure Of Congress that had called into
active exercise the minds Of the great men
OF the nation, that on which had been spent
most Of the time Of the present session OF
CONGRESS 30 far, the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill. has been vetoed By the President.
The freedom-Ioving party Of the North that
elected President Johnson 10 Office gave
him their votes for Vice President. believing
him true 20 the great interests or the Gov
eminent, having implicit confidence that
should any unforeseen accident take from
the world him whose fidelity was never
doubted ABRAHAM LINcOLS, aud the re-
spOnsibilities Of the salvation Of the Nation
fall upon bis shoulders they would rest with
one in whose fidelity they might with safety
trust.
The war ended before the death Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and the question Of recon
structiOn was the only real great problem
left to be solved by him who by this proyi-
dence was called 10 assume the reins Of
power. We would that we could believe him
true To the great principles euunciated and
still held dear by the party that elected him
to power. lie has been drifting downward
toward the cess-pOol from which The people
Of the nation had hoped they had made
their escape, since the first day no assumed
the discharge OF the duties OF the Office in
which the providence OF God has placed
him. High hopes were entertained that he
would rally and be true 10 the duties Of the
hour But he has banishcd the last faint
hope by his veto message Of al act de-
manded TO carry 10 fruition the great prn-
ciples Of freedom which had been fought for
aud won in four long years Of var and
blOOdshed.
This act Of the President, this iallering
in the time Of trial, calls upon the people
again to rally, and reassert. IA louder and
more vehement tones, their determination
not 20 pander or be dictated TO boy the
friends OF the slave power. The fat has
gone forth that every citizen OF America,
be he white or black, must be free, and
shall be protected in that freedom, and be
who stands in the way ofthis determination
Of the people will be put aside. Let AL
good men sustain Congress in It's action in
this hour Of trial, and send words of en-
couragement to our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress to be true and fear
less in the discharge OF their duty
