Tie President will have anothe


4 Tie President will have another
/ veto message to prepare. Congress
has ,assed the Colorado and Nebraska
etlls, and they go to the Executive for
approval The Governor of Colorado,
L viii be remembered, recently said
the onsitution was no evidence of
tho ointment Of the people, and that
thef was but twenty seven thousand
popu lation; that the endeavors to
have it admitted were the acts of wick
eo md designing men, and that at
least two-thirds of the people were
oppo sed to the form of State Gov
crumsnt at present. This of itself
would be sufficient to warrant the use
Of he veto power, but when we come
o. the third section, we discover where
Congress departs from the Constitu-
ton thus clearly demanding the inter
position of the President. 1t reads
thus
That this act shall go into effect
y,th the fundamental and perpetual
con3 ton, that within the said State
Il Iebraska, there shall be no
sar cement or denial Of the exercise
90 elective franchise, or of any |
Other right, to any person, by reason
:! --se or color, excepting Indians
not taxed.
The vote by which this was carried
in the Senate stands twenty to
eighteen, which is not at all encour-
aging to those who propose giving the
people of Colorado, twenty-seven
thousand in number. a voice in the
National legislation equal to that of
New York with her four millions of
people. 1t is quite likely the veto
power viii be used ehectnally this

Wrong End First

The late colored Convention at Co.
lumbus adopted the following
"IVhereaS, All Governments derive
their just powers from the consent Of
the ga, orned, and no State can Justly
claim TO have a Republican form Of
government which refuses to permit a
portion of its citizens the opportunity
Of giving that consent through the bal
lot box; therefore"
Where have the darkies been for the
last year or two? 1t IL entirely too
late to preach that doctrine. 1t did
very well for our fathers, bnt Congress
has decided that it is all a mistake.
and that instead of the Government
deriving It's just powers from the con.
sent of the governed, il is just the 9th
err way-the governed derive their just
powers from the consent Of Congress,
awe are marching along!"
