Opinion OF the press AesAEuAns EEesl
dent Johnson's Veto OF she Freed,
mems Bureau Bill. 80 51ssia
NEW York, Feb. 20.-The following
are extracts from the morning press re-
pardinR President Johnson'S veto OF the
Freedmen's Bureau bill: Hrts
The World says: President johnson
has nobly sustained his character for
steadiness of purpose and political
courage by the veto he sent to the SEN
ate Yesterday on the enlargement OF
the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau
The consideration of the most immedi-
ate interest, is the likelihood of the veto
being effective. Can, the bill be passed
by a two thirds of both Houses overthe
veto and become a law in spite of the
President? We think 1t cannot. But
the question is not so entirely free from
doubt as to set the public anxiety at
rest until the trial has been made.
The Tribune SAYS: awe deeply re
eret this, and we think he will live to
regret it even more deeply. For this
veto will be understood by all that is
brutal and ruffianly at the South as
giving licenseto any abuse and oppfes-
sion of the blacks that white malignanty
and rancorous hate can deVlse.
The Times says that the veto implies
no essential difference of opinion be-
tween; the executive and the majority
in Congress. In the primary object of
the bill there is no essential point to
show that the President is at variance
either with the majority in Congress or
with the country, so far as the claim of
the freedmen are concerned He seeks
to reach the end aimed at in the vetoed
bill by other and what he deems less
radical agencies. 1t will, therefore, be
for Congress and the country to weigh
carefully the objections offered, at least
to respect, IL they cannot assent to the
aS..II aelE oeJ
ThelHerald says: The freedments bu-
reau bill has, at the hands of President
Johnson, met with the fate which il de-
served. his general argument and
his specifications against the bin, are
consistent, convincing and conclusive.

successor of the noble old hero, the late
Joshua r. Giddings. In recent speech he
uttered these striking words:

should listen to what they have to say on
the basis that prima faeie, the evidence is
against them. The whole burden of proof
should rest on them. He would not vote to
bring them here unless as before a grand
inquest of the nation, or as a court. Let
them come before the bar and show that
they are brought in. When he knew them
last, they were firing bullets at him. and
were thrusting bayonets into our fellow
citizens starving prisoners in dungeons, and
burning our towns They hated the Union
above all things, and were bound by bloody
oaths to see it die; and they must come be
